Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Meanwhile, inside the Eagle Regiment's base, Bell, despite his injuries still lingering, felt a trembling sensation within him. He endured the pain and personally headed to the protective light curtain to direct the defense. He knew full well that this layer of blue light curtain was crucial to the Eagle Regiment's survival, and no carelessness was tolerated.

"Strengthen the defenses and ensure every entrance is guarded!"

Bell's voice held undeniable authority. As time went on, the sense of crisis and unease within him grew stronger, and he longed to relocate his base immediately.

Sure enough, as a pale white portal appeared outside the castle, countless fully armed figures emerged from the portal. They moved quickly and with clear goals, and attacked the castle directly. For a moment, the entire stronghold was filled with shouts and screams.

Bell was the first to notice the enemy attack. He looked at the portal with cold eyes, then turned around and glanced at his men around him, then said in a cold voice.

"Don't panic, organize people to kill all these intruders!"

After saying that, Bell limped to the top floor of the castle. This was the control center of the protective light curtain, and nothing could be lost. Bell was worried and chose to guard it himself despite his injury.

The battlefield below was in chaos. The Bright Alliance's men were incredibly brave, undeterred by injury. They fought with wounds for wounds, quickly pushing the Eagles back to the castle gates. Just as they were about to attack the gates, a group of musketeers suddenly appeared from above the castle, unleashing a barrage of bullets on the Bright Alliance's men.

Although the members of the Alliance of Light were wearing full body armor, they could not just stand there and take the bullets. They either took out their shields for defense or cast protective magic to resist. They suffered almost no damage from the Eagle Group's counterattack.

Taking advantage of the time when the musketeers were reloading, Tang Hao rushed out from the crowd with a blood-red sword in his hand. He was wrapped in red blood and he took a big step into the air.

"Mountain Leap Attack!"

Tang Hao leaped directly to the second floor of the castle, landing among the Eagle Regiment. The ground shattered with such force that the musketeers were slashed and fell to the ground by Tang Hao's broadsword before they could react. The Bright Alliance soldiers below rushed forward and quickly cleared out the Eagle Regiment members blocking the door.

As the castle gates collapsed with a roar, the soldiers of the Alliance of Light roared into the castle like wild horses, engaging in fierce close combat with the remaining members of the Eagle Group. Swords clashed, magic and firearms clashed, and the castle instantly became a living hell.

Liu Yu also appeared in the center of the battlefield, flanked by five or six loyal followers to protect him. He wielded a longsword, his tip indestructible, as he darted across the battlefield. Every swing of his sword was accompanied by the wailing and falling of his enemies, demonstrating his considerable skill.

Liu Yu's figure became a beacon in the hearts of the soldiers of the Alliance of Light, inspiring them to move forward more bravely. The morale of the Alliance of Light was even stronger, and they advanced all the way and soon reached the upper level of the castle.

On the other hand, there were not many people stationed in the Eagle Regiment as Bell's private residence was here. After the confrontation, they were frightened and retreated all the way. Many members of the Eagle Regiment had other ideas and just symbolically blocked the attack before running away.

However, just as the Alliance of Light was about to completely occupy the castle and utterly annihilate the Eagle Group, an old man in a black suit with flaming red hair suddenly appeared in front of them, firmly guarding the only upward passage.

He held a jeweled staff in his hand, and his eyes shone with a deep light, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"You bastards, how dare you disturb the young master's peace? I will burn you all to ashes!" The red-haired old man's voice was hoarse and powerful. His appearance instantly froze the atmosphere on the battlefield.

Liu Yu's brow furrowed. He knew full well that this red-haired elder was no ordinary man. Judging by the powerful magical fluctuations emanating from him, he was undoubtedly a formidable opponent. But even so, Liu Yu would not back down. He took a deep breath, raised his sword high, and shouted, "Warriors of the Alliance of Light, we fight for justice, for light! No matter what obstacles lie ahead, we will forge ahead!"

Although Liu Yu's words were clearly nonsense, in this situation and atmosphere, such words were the most effective in boosting morale and rallying people. Encouraged by Liu Yu, the soldiers of the Alliance of Light reignited their fighting spirit. They attacked the red-haired old man, attempting to break through his defenses. However, the red-haired old man conjured a wall of fire, easily blocking everyone out. Some tried long-range attacks with bows and arrows or magic missiles, but they were unable to penetrate the wall of fire. For a moment, the battle reached a stalemate.

At this moment, Tang Hao reappeared, brandishing a blood-red broadsword. His armor had long been stained dark red by blood, and he charged at the red-haired old man like a ferocious, bloodthirsty beast.

However, the red-haired old man just smiled slightly, gently waved his staff, and a blazing flame rushed towards Tang Hao. Although Tang Hao was extremely brave, he had to retreat temporarily under the scorching flame.

The battle reached a stalemate. Despite their numbers, the Alliance of Light was powerless against the red-haired old man's powerful magic. Many sought alternative routes, only to find their path blocked by a blazing wall of fire, trapping them within the castle.

"It's useless. Now that you're in, don't even think about getting out alive!"

The red-haired old man stared fiercely at the members of the Light Alliance, then found Liu Yu in the crowd. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he swung his staff, sending a fireball hurtling towards Liu Yu. Liu Yu's men stood in front of him, condensing a light shield in their palms, which easily deflected the fireball.

Liu Yu glanced at the time and was worried that the Eagle Group might have reinforcements. He knew that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately took out a piece of emerald green stone and threw it to Tang Hao.

"This is the Forbidden Magic Stone. Carrying it with you can restrain most spells. Let's finish this quickly and get rid of that old man!"

Tang Hao took the magic-suppressing stone, checked its effects, then grinned. When he looked at the red-haired old man again, his eyes were full of ridicule.

Tang Hao gripped the Forbidden Magic Stone tightly in his hand. A faint green light emanated from the stone, surrounding him like an invisible shield. He took a deep breath, his blood boiling. He once again gathered all his strength and charged towards the red-haired old man with an unstoppable momentum.

"Your magic is useless to me, old man!"

Tang Hao laughed wildly, and the blood-red sword cut through the air with a whistling sound, hitting the red-haired old man's vital points.

The red-haired old man saw this, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He snorted coldly, and the gem on his staff flickered, trying to summon fire again to block Tang Hao's attack. However, this time, as soon as the flames approached Tang Hao, they were extinguished by invisible hands and dissipated into the air.

The power of the Forbidden Magic Stone was clearly evident, effectively weakening the red-haired old man's control over magic. The red-haired old man's expression changed slightly, but his years of combat experience allowed him to quickly adjust his strategy and decide to confront Tang Hao in close combat.

"Even without magic, I can still kill you. It's still uncertain who will win!"
