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

"Retreat quickly, there are masters here guarding the crystal!" Another terrified voice sounded from not far away. It was obvious that this was the first time they encountered such a powerful and well-organized resistance.

"Haha, I knew you'd launch a sneak attack. Now you understand how powerful we are, don't you?" Lin Fan stood in the crowd, holding a longsword gleaming with a faint blue light, a scornful smile on his face. At that moment, the very air seemed to be filled with his kingly aura, and everyone couldn't help but feel awe in him.

As the battle intensified, more and more seemingly ordinary warriors demonstrated extraordinary abilities. The young man, previously thought to be too young and inexperienced, was able to manipulate the power of natural elements; and the taciturn woman displayed astonishing physical flexibility and deadly sword skills...

"Are these guys monsters?" An invader who had escaped by chance murmured to himself as he looked at the powerful camp in front of him that was still fighting hard. The expression on his face was complicated, full of unwillingness and deep fear.

Finally, after several unsuccessful attempts, the attackers chose to temporarily retreat. However, everyone knew that this was only the end of the first round, and a greater storm was about to come...

At this moment, a figure who had been watching the battle for a long time not far away smiled slightly: "What an interesting game... Looking forward to seeing you next time." After that, he turned and left, leaving more unknowns and challenges to this fight under the cover of night.

Inside the camp, people gradually relaxed, but remained on guard. "Thankfully, everyone gave it their all tonight," an old man sighed, looking at Lin Fan and the other leaders. "What should we do next?"

Lin Fan gazed forward with a deep gaze. "No matter how difficult the road ahead, we will continue to move forward. Because protecting this land and its people is our mission."

"That's right! No matter how difficult it is, as long as we work together, there will be no obstacles that we can't overcome!" Shen Shiyan echoed with a firm look in his eyes.

"Well... then let's face the future together!" The woman continued with a chuckle. Her smile was unusually bright and warm under the bonfire's light...

Under the night sky, this unfinished story continued, waiting only for the arrival of the next dawn... With the battle temporarily over, the people in the camp began to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. The air was filled with a mixture of tension and anticipation, everyone was wondering what would happen next. At this time, a young girl cautiously approached Lin Fan.

"Um...Brother Lin, you were so awesome just now! You looked so handsome!" The young girl's eyes were shining with stars, and her face was full of admiration and envy.

An experienced veteran nearby couldn't help but interject, "Little girls, stop joining in the fun. We grown men need this kind of excitement."

He turned to Lin Fan and said, "But honestly, Brother Lin, your performance is truly impressive. If it weren't for you guys tonight, I'm afraid this camp would have been defeated by the enemy, right?"

After hearing this, Shen Shiyan smiled and said, "That's right! Brother Lin has really done us a great service! Right, everyone?"

There was a chorus of agreement from the surroundings, "That's right! We're following such a strong leader, what else do we have to worry about?"

But at this time, the young magician who was bandaging the wound said worriedly: "Although we have temporarily forced them back, I always feel that things are not that simple... What if the enemy attacks again? How should we deal with it?"

Another calmer young man echoed, "Indeed, this enemy retreat doesn't mean they've given up completely. Perhaps they're waiting for a better opportunity to launch another attack. What should we do then?"

Faced with such doubts, the woman stood up and said, "I don't think there's anything to worry about. After all, our morale is high, and everyone has brought their strengths to bear against such a formidable enemy. And with Brother Lin and the others around, I believe we can overcome any difficulties! Most importantly, we're a team!"

She looked at Lin Fan, hoping for more affirmation. Lin Fan paused for a moment, then nodded firmly. "You all said it well. Everyone is an indispensable part of the team. But we must acknowledge that the current situation is very serious. So from now on, we must be more united and fully prepared to meet the challenge."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps not far away suddenly caught everyone's attention. "What's going on? Are the enemies coming back again?" someone asked, alert.

Everyone stared with bated breath as a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. "Hey, don't be so nervous, I'm here to help!" The figure waved his hand gently, urging everyone to calm down, and then walked to the center of the camp and sat down. "It looks like we need allies. What do you think? Would you consider joining my forces to fight against this enemy?"

Everyone present was surprised when these words came out. "Who are you? Why are you helping us?" the young magician asked directly, his eyes revealing curiosity mixed with a hint of wariness.

The uninvited guest smiled and replied, "My name is Yun Yi, and I'm a chivalrous man from nearby. I just happened to pass by and noticed some interesting things happening here." He looked around and added, "Actually, I'm personally quite interested in the secrets hidden behind this war... Maybe it can bring some new ideas to everyone~" After saying this, he nodded specifically to several key figures.

Just as everyone fell into silent contemplation, the girl was the first to break the silence: "I think we can give it a try! It never hurts to have another strong person join us!"

Upon hearing this, the other companions also expressed their agreement. "Alright, since everyone agrees, then we'll accept your proposal," Lin Fan finally spoke. He extended his hand to his new friend, "Welcome, Brother Yun. From now on, I look forward to your guidance!"

"Haha, I'm so happy to be one of you!" Yun Yi laughed heartily and responded with a clenched fist, "Don't worry, let's create more miracles together!"

In this way, the camp ushered in unexpected changes, but what kind of development will all this bring to the future story? What kind of legend will those unknown and unpredictable days write?

"Anyway, this is just the beginning..." Lin Fan muttered as night fell, gazing into the distance, clearly already making some plans. With Yun Yi's arrival, the atmosphere in the camp eased slightly, but the heavy burden still hung heavy on everyone's shoulders. The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced the thin mist and shone across the landscape, Lin Fan and Yun Yi were already discussing their next plan of action.
