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

"We've already launched a successful surprise attack, catching the enemy off guard," Zhao Tian replied, "but the Black Dragon Society seems to have even stronger reserve forces ready to launch a full-scale attack."

The people around them grew increasingly serious upon hearing this. Suddenly, a young man stood up, his voice firm and powerful: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's join this battle together!"

"Well said!" another young man immediately echoed, "I want to join the fight and do my part for our city!"

Suddenly, more people expressed their willingness to step forward and jointly resist the impending threat.

"That's great. I feel much more relieved to see you so brave." Zhao Tian nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the side and began to arrange a new defense strategy.

At the same time, in a hidden corner on the edge of the battlefield, Lin Chen and Zhao Tian were quietly observing the enemy's movements.

"It seems they are really starting to gather." Lin Chen said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, "We have to think of a way."

Zhao Tian pondered for a moment, then said, "I have a plan. We can split into two groups. One will attack them head-on to attract their attention, while the other will attack them from the flank and catch them off guard."

"Well, this method is good and highly feasible." Lin Chen nodded in agreement, "But who will lead this flank attack team?"

Zhao Tian smiled and said, "Of course it's you, Lin Chen. You are one of the people who are most familiar with the terrain in this battle. No one is more suitable for this mission than you."

Lin Chen was silent for a while, but finally nodded: "Okay, then I will lead this team. But you must also be careful and don't take risks easily."

While the two were discussing tactics, Xiaomei, A-Ming, and Li Lei's task force encountered considerable trouble. The Black Dragon Society's offensive intensified, with ladders constantly being pushed forward, making it nearly impossible for the soldiers to resist.

"Captain, we can't hold on any longer!" a soldier reported loudly.

"Hold steady, persistence is victory!" Lu Gang waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly to boost morale.

At this critical moment, Xiaomei once again demonstrated her sharpshooting skills. She quickly drew her bow and shot three arrows in a row, accurately shooting down the enemy who was climbing up.

"Sister Xiaomei is so amazing!" a soldier next to her exclaimed.

Xiaomei smiled slightly and didn't say much, but continued to look for the next target.

"Watch your step! Don't let the enemy take the opportunity to break through the defense line!" Amin reminded everyone.

Just as everyone was desperately trying to hold on, a burst of hurried footsteps caught everyone's attention. A messenger hurried over, his face pale and his breath rapid. "Report, the Black Dragon Society has begun to concentrate its forces and prepare to launch a large-scale attack..."

Lu Gang frowned: "Looks like it's time to use the backup plan."

As he spoke, he turned and gave orders to his team members: "Everyone listen, proceed according to the original plan and be sure to hold your post until the last moment!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison. Although they were a little nervous, their morale did not diminish in the slightest.

At this moment, in a secret base far from the battlefield, Lin Chen and his companions were frantically making final preparations. Everyone was silently praying, hoping to successfully repel the Black Dragon Society and protect this land...

"Are you ready?" Zhao Tian asked.

"We're ready!" Everyone answered with great determination.

"Then, let's go!" Lin Chen raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it into the distance, "For Dragon City, move forward!"

As they disappeared into the night, these powerful words seemed to still echo in the air, inspiring everyone who strives for it...

"Please return safely..." whispered the residents watching the battle from afar. Lin Chen and his elite troops quietly moved through the dense forest. Under the moonlight, they were like ghosts in the night. Meanwhile, at the other end of the Black Dragon Society's camp, Zhao Tian was directing the soldiers preparing for the direct confrontation.

"Everyone, listen carefully," Zhao Tian's voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield through the loudspeaker. "Although the Black Dragon Society is powerful, tonight, we will use practical actions to show them that Dragon City is not a place that can be easily conquered!"

The soldiers' shouts echoed the brave commander's words, and morale instantly reached its peak. Just when everything seemed ready, suddenly, an ominous silence enveloped the battlefield, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen's team had already approached the edge of the enemy camp. "Everyone, take cover," Lin Chen whispered. "Once I give the signal..."

Before he could finish, a sentry appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards their hiding place. "Who?!" Lin Chen reacted quickly and resolved the emergency with a sharp blow, but he knew that time was running out.

At this moment, a deafening drumbeat could be heard in the distance—a sign that the Black Dragon Society was launching a general offensive. It seemed they couldn't wait any longer.

"Go!" With Lin Chen's command, the team members moved towards their target like arrows from a bow. At this moment, the originally peaceful night sky was illuminated by countless torches, and the battle officially began.

Meanwhile, at the north gate defense line, the situation had become equally tense. "Hold the line!" Li Lei shouted, brandishing his heavy sword and engaging in a fierce battle with the ever-increasing enemy. "Xiaomei, A-Ming, you're responsible for clearing the enemy from the city wall!"

Xiaomei didn't hesitate, firing her bow and arrows continuously as if they had come to life, each shot hitting the target with pinpoint accuracy. Amin followed closely behind, using his agility to dispatch the enemy troops approaching the defense line. However, despite their desperate efforts, they were unable to reverse the overall disadvantageous situation.

"We can't go on like this..." An old man said anxiously as he looked at the young people fighting not far away.

"Yeah, those kids are so young." Another onlooker chimed in: "Hopefully a miracle will happen."

Just as everyone was feeling hopeless, a flash of lightning streaked across the dark night sky—not the result of a natural phenomenon, but the trace left by the torches carried by Lin Chen and his surprise attack force. In an instant, the entire battlefield situation changed dramatically...

"Did it succeed?" The civilians who were hiding in the dark and watching the progress of the battle opened their eyes wide and held their breath waiting for the next development.

On the other side, taking advantage of the enemy's disarray, Lu Gang decisively ordered a full-scale counterattack: "Now, let's teach the Black Dragon Society a profound lesson!"
