Fantasy: The Counterattack of the Female Sovereign

After a fierce competition, the martial arts tournament finally came to an end and the dust gradually settled. However, for the forces led by Song Yao, the impact of this martial arts tournament was far-reaching and huge.

At this moment, Song Yao's forces were filled with unprecedented morale. Everyone was jubilant over their outstanding performance in the tournament, but Song Yao knew that this victory was only the beginning. The seemingly distant Custer family weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like a heavy shadow.

On the morning after the martial arts tournament, sunlight streamed through the windows into a spacious, bright conference room. Song Yao had already taken the main seat, her expression serious and focused. Soon, the other core members arrived. Hao Jin entered the room with steady steps, dressed in azure, his brows sharp and his eyes sparkling. Young Master Ye was elegant, holding a folding fan, a faint smile on his lips. Elder Zhao slowly entered, leaning on a cane. Despite his advanced age, his eyes held a gleam of brilliance. Last to enter was Master Yan Yang, a tall and imposing figure, emanating a powerful aura.

After everyone took their seats, a massive map was carefully spread out in the center of the table. This map meticulously mapped the vast sphere of influence of the Custer family and the routes most likely to serve as their attack routes. Song Yao stood up, walked over to the map, and gently tapped a key location. Then, looking around, she said, "Everyone, the Custer family will not sit idly by and watch us grow stronger. They will definitely take action." Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable firmness and calmness. Everyone's faces darkened upon hearing this, their gazes fixed on the map, and they began to ponder it intently.

Hao Jin stood beside Song Yao, tapping his fingers lightly on the map, and said in a deep voice: "We must take the initiative and not let them gain the upper hand."

Master Ye proposed a more cautious strategy: "We need more intelligence to understand their true strength and intentions. A blind attack could put us in greater danger."

Elder Zhao nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "We can test their reactions through some small conflicts, and at the same time, take this opportunity to demonstrate our strength."

Master Yan Yang made a bold suggestion: "We can use the power of the fire element to precisely strike their resource points and weaken their strength."

After a heated discussion, Song Yao finally decided on a comprehensive strategy: she would send small teams to conduct reconnaissance and harassment, while strengthening her own defenses to prepare for a possible large-scale attack.

Under Song Yao's calm and methodical command, a group of agile and efficient scouts quickly assembled and filed out according to the established plan. This time, their mission was extremely difficult - to quietly penetrate the vast territory of the Custer family and do their utmost to collect all kinds of valuable intelligence information.

These scouts are the elite of the elite, having undergone countless trials and tribulations, and have been selected through layers of rigorous testing. Not only do they possess outstanding concealment skills, allowing them to slip under the enemy's noses like ghosts, but they also possess astonishing escape abilities. Even if they are discovered by the enemy, they can still escape danger with their exceptional skills.

At the same time, the meticulous Song Yao understood the principle that while offense is crucial, defense is equally crucial. Therefore, after dispatching her scouts, she immediately set to work strengthening the defenses within her territory. She raised her hands, and a crystal of wisdom, emitting a mysterious glow, slowly appeared above her palms. Then, she gently tossed this crystal, imbued with boundless mysteries and powerful energy, into the air, chanting a series of complex and profound incantations.

Assisting her, Elder Zhao watched the entire process intently, occasionally offering unique insights and suggestions for improvement based on the actual situation. Working together, the two utilized their respective strengths to ultimately successfully design a brilliant and complex defensive formation.

Once activated, this formation cleverly harnesses the power of various natural elements, interweaving them together to create an impenetrable, powerful shield. Whether physical or magical, external attacks vanish like a stone sinking into the ocean upon impact. Thus, Song Yao's forces can confidently face any threats and challenges they face.

Hao Jin and Master Ye worked together to undertake the crucial task of training their followers for real-world combat exercises. To better equip them for the challenges they might face, they meticulously planned and successfully simulated a wide variety of bizarre combat scenarios. From the treacherous wilderness of the jungle to the intricate mazes of ancient times to the turbulent seas...each scene was filled with uncertainty and challenges, making the followers feel as if they were on a real battlefield.

In this tense and realistic atmosphere, the followers were completely focused and gave their all, not daring to slack off. They not only needed to quickly master and apply their own combat skills, but also learn how to coordinate and cooperate with their teammates. Through repeated arduous and arduous actual combat exercises, their strength was significantly improved, gradually growing into an invincible and powerful team.

Meanwhile, Song Yao, the exceptional leader, never relaxed for a moment. She understood deeply that as the core figure of the entire faction, her own strength and wisdom were crucial, like the guiding force that stabilized the sea. Only by constantly strengthening herself could she lead the others to victory. Thus, every night, when all was still, Song Yao would quietly withdraw from the bustling crowd and step into the tranquility of her training room alone.

Within this training room, free from the distractions and noise of the outside world, lies Song Yao's single-minded pursuit of power. She focuses her mind and energy, devoting all her energy to a deep exploration of the secrets of power and its continuous improvement. Whether it's the profound theories within the martial arts manuals or the subtle insights gained through actual practice, she repeatedly ponders and meticulously considers them, striving to achieve a comprehensive understanding and apply them to other situations. In this world that belongs only to her, time seems meaningless, and only the unwavering surge of powerful power bears witness to her tireless dedication, day and night.

As Song Yao and her followers were nervously preparing, an unexpected discovery brought a turning point to the entire situation. A scout on a reconnaissance mission stumbled upon a secret base of the Custer family. Hidden deep in the mountains and heavily guarded, this base was clearly an important stronghold of the Custer family.

The scout used his stealth skills to quietly approach the base and found a large amount of magical materials and combat equipment stored inside. Even more shocking, he also found some documents about the Custer family and the evil wizard alliance, which revealed some of their important plans and weaknesses.

The scout immediately reported this discovery to Song Yao. Song Yao and the core members carefully analyzed the intelligence and realized that this secret base might be the key to the Custer family's strength. Destroying it would not only weaken the Custer family's strength but also undermine their morale.

After a series of detailed and meticulous planning, Song Yao finally made up her mind to launch a thunderous surprise attack, and the spearhead of this action was directed at the mysterious base hidden in the dark and unknown. This decision was not a rash one, but a bold one after careful consideration.

To ensure the successful completion of this mission, Song Yao painstakingly selected a group of outstanding individuals from among his many followers and formed them into an elite assault team. This team is the ace of aces, with each member possessing unique skills and extraordinary abilities.

It is worth mentioning that this assault team will carry out this arduous mission under the leadership of two leading figures, Hao Jin and Ye Gongzi. Both of them are men of both wisdom and courage, not only possessing extraordinary courage and strategy, but also mastering various tactical strategies.

According to the plan, the team would leverage the cover of night and the unpredictable power of the Crystal of Wisdom to stealthily approach the heavily guarded secret base. Once they successfully reached their destination, they would launch a swift and deadly attack on the enemy, striving to destroy the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop and achieve their strategic goal.

On the quiet night before the official operation, Song Yao gathered all the followers who would be participating in this thrilling adventure. At this moment, she stood upright in front of everyone, her posture as straight as a pine tree, her gaze unwavering, as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.

She glanced around at her loyal and reliable followers and spoke loudly in a passionate and inspiring tone, "Brothers and sisters! Tonight we are about to embark on a journey where life and death are at stake. This operation is of vital importance to our entire faction. It is no exaggeration to say that it directly concerns the future of all of us. At this critical moment, I sincerely hope that everyone will summon their courage, give it their all, and unreservedly utilize their ingenuity. Please remember that our expedition is not simply about winning the so-called glory of victory. More importantly, it is to protect this beautiful home we share and our beloved ones. As long as we work together and unite as one, no difficulties or obstacles can stop our progress!"

After hearing Song Yao's impassioned words, every follower present gleamed with a gleam of unwavering determination, a persistent conviction that emanated from deep within. They knew the road ahead was fraught with obstacles, but they also firmly believed that as long as they closely followed Song Yao, their wise and sagacious leader, they would overcome all difficulties and obstacles and ultimately usher in their own glorious moment of victory.

As night fell, the assault team set off with Song Yao's blessing. Their figures quickly disappeared in the night, leaving behind Song Yao and the followers who stayed behind with a nervous and expectant mood.

As the assault team set out, Song Yao wasn't idle either. She knew this operation might trigger a strong counterattack from the Custer family, so she had to be fully prepared. She began strengthening the entire force's defenses while also considering possible backup plans.

However, just as Song Yao and her followers were nervously preparing, a more serious news came. The head of the Custer family seemed to have noticed Song Yao's actions and began to mobilize his forces to prepare for a comprehensive attack on Song Yao's forces.

The training ground was shrouded in darkness, a silence shrouded only by the twinkling stars in the sky. Song Yao stood quietly at the edge of the training ground, gazing up at the boundless starry sky, lost in deep thought.

She knew full well that an unprecedented storm was quietly approaching, bringing unimaginable challenges and tests. Yet, she showed no sign of retreat. Instead, she firmly grasped the mysteriously radiant Crystal of Wisdom. Through the warmth that radiated from her fingertips, she could clearly sense the immense power contained within. This power was like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating her path forward; like an incomparably sharp sword, it gave her the courage to forge ahead, slicing through all obstacles.

Song Yao took a deep breath, letting the fresh air fill her chest, feeling the tranquility and strength slowly coursing through her body. At this moment, she was fully prepared, waiting only for the moment the storm hit.

She turned around and faced her companions who had followed her all the way. They came from all corners of the world, each of them gathered here with dreams and beliefs. Looking at these familiar faces, Song Yao felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew that it was their unwavering support and companionship that made it possible for her to reach this point.

"Friends!" Song Yao shouted loudly, her voice clear and loud, breaking the silence of the night. "The real storm is coming, but we are not afraid! As long as we unite as one, with the Crystal of Wisdom in my hand and everyone's courage and wisdom, we will be able to overcome all difficulties!"

Everyone responded, their passionate shouts echoing through the night sky. Song Yao nodded with satisfaction, then resolutely stepped forward, leading her forces with heads held high as they faced the impending storm. She firmly believed that no matter how rough the road ahead, no matter how fierce the storm, she would bravely face it without flinching. For she possessed not only extraordinary courage and exceptional wisdom, but also the unwavering support of a group of companions who would stand shoulder to shoulder, fighting side by side through thick and thin. And after this thrilling journey, a new and promising future awaited them!
