I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Meanwhile, Mireya was hiding in the bushes, patiently waiting for the right moment. "Is it coming..." she whispered to herself, her eyes fixed on the gradually approaching target. "Closer... just a little closer."

Suddenly, the entire battlefield fell silent. A moment later, a sharp whistle sounded—

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, magic roared, and the battlefield exploded. The air was filled with thick smoke, and various colors intertwined to form a spectacular yet cruel scene.

"Wow! This is truly amazing!" The young man who had previously marveled at the Warrior's Light exclaimed excitedly, "I've never seen anything like this before. It's truly astonishing!"

However, the battle wasn't over yet. The leading black-robed magician, his eyes wide with rage, waved his hand, and summoned a powerful storm that pounced upon the ground. "Hmph, you think you can defeat us with just this little trick? Wishful thinking!"

Faced with the sudden and powerful impact, even the protective barriers prepared in advance could not completely withstand it. Many people were blown to the ground, and the situation became critical.

At this time, Leon stood up: "Everyone gather together and concentrate your strength to resist this wave of attack!" As soon as the words fell, a dazzling white light surged out from his palm and gradually spread out, forming a more solid invisible barrier that surrounded all the soldiers inside.

"Captain Leon is amazing, isn't he?" Countless voices of admiration came from the onlookers. "How does he accomplish such miraculous things?"

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, several loud noises were heard from the sky—it turned out that the distant support troops had arrived! Dozens of huge airships appeared on the horizon, slowly approaching the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, the villagers cheered. "We still have hope!" "Come on, warriors! Reinforcements are here!"

At this moment, the mysterious old man reappeared in the crowd, looking into the distance thoughtfully and saying something puzzling: "This battle is far from over... perhaps even greater tests are yet to come."

Then, he quietly left the crowd, leaving those around him asking each other with puzzled expressions:

-"Who was that old man just now?"

-"Why would he say something like that?"

- "What should we do next?"

With the arrival of reinforcements, the already tense atmosphere was intensified with anticipation and hope. Leon watched the airship approaching from a distance, and a strange sense of confidence surged within him. "Now is not the time to relax!" he shouted to the soldiers. "We must fully utilize this opportunity to launch a counterattack and completely thwart the enemy's plan!"

"The captain is right!" Mireya's voice came from behind the bushes, full of firm determination. She quickly adjusted her archers, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the village, the crowd watching were discussing:

-"Look, there seems to be a magician casting a spell on that airship!"

-"Yes, I also saw quite a few heavily armored warriors standing on the deck!" The young villager pointed excitedly at the distant sky.

-"I hope they can join the battle as soon as possible..." A slightly worried voice came from an older woman.

As everyone discussed this, Leon had already led his team forward, preparing to rendezvous with the air support. Meanwhile, Lucy was setting up the final line of defense, ensuring it wouldn't be easily breached even if the enemy launched another attack. "Everyone, follow my orders," she said in a low voice. "Once the reinforcements arrive, we'll begin our counterattack."

Suddenly, a strange ripple echoed in the air, and everyone sensed something was amiss. The sky grew darker, as if something ominous was about to happen. "Oh no! The enemy is preparing a more powerful attack!" a soldier anxiously warned.

Faced with the sudden situation, Mireya quickly adjusted her breathing and locked her eyes on the gradually approaching target: "No matter how the situation changes, as long as we find the right opportunity, we can turn the tide of the battle!" Her voice was full of calmness and confidence.

At that moment, several dazzling rays of light suddenly pierced the night sky—mages from a distant airship launched powerful support spells, providing strong support to the ground troops. Leon and his companions also took the opportunity to begin their operation.

"Everyone, follow me!" Leon shouted loudly and took the lead in charging towards the enemy.

"Yes!" The responses rang out in unison, and the soldiers followed closely with high morale.

At this moment, among the villagers watching on the sidelines, a little girl suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed in surprise: "Daddy, look, that brother really seems to have become as brave as a superhero!"

"That's true," her father replied with a smile, explaining to his daughter, "Everyone has their own courage in their hearts. As long as they dare to face difficulties and overcome them bravely, they can become heroes like them."

As the two forces engaged in a full-scale clash, the entire battlefield fell into unprecedented chaos. Although Leon and his men had a certain advantage, they also realized that victory was not something that could be easily achieved.

"The situation has become delicate again..." The old man who was just marveling at the heroic performance reappeared in the crowd. He squinted his eyes, staring at the battlefield, and spoke slowly.

"Grandpa, why do you say that?" the little boy next to him asked curiously.

The old man smiled slightly, but did not give a direct answer. He just shook his head meaningfully: "What will happen next? Only time will tell us the answer."

As the battle intensified, everyone's attention turned to the battlefield itself. At this moment, a strong light suddenly shot out from a certain direction, illuminating the entire night sky...

"What's going on?" The villagers exclaimed, their faces full of confusion and tension.

At the same time, Leon and the others also noticed something unusual. "Stay alert, defend!" He immediately gave the order, while secretly considering the possible new threats.

"I wonder what kind of opponent I'll face next..." A young soldier muttered to himself, gripping his weapon tightly in his hands, his eyes filled with both anticipation and a hint of fear.

"No matter what, we must stand together and overcome difficulties together!" encouraged the companion next to him, his tone full of the power of unity.

Just as everyone was preparing for battle, that mysterious light finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This is..." Lucy opened her eyes wide in surprise. She had never seen such a scene before.

"It seems that the real test has just begun..." The old man's figure disappeared in the crowd again, leaving more questions.
