Fantasy: The Counterattack of the Female Sovereign

The assassination team's successful escape brought a respite for Song Yao's forces, but Song Yao knew that this was only the calm before the storm. A full-scale attack from the Custer family was imminent, and she must use this time to strengthen her defenses and enhance the strength of her followers.

Under Song Yao's command, adjustments to the defensive strategy were rapidly implemented. She first strengthened security and patrols around the camp, adding sentries and hidden observation points to ensure timely detection of enemy movements. She also improved information transmission methods to ensure the rapid and secure delivery of intelligence.

Hao Jin was responsible for strengthening the elemental power of the defensive formation. He used his elemental manipulation abilities to enhance the formation's stability and reaction speed, enabling it to quickly adjust and recover when attacked.

Young Master Ye stood on an open grassland, before him stood a group of spirited scouts and patrolmen. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, his posture as upright as a pine tree, and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

"Everyone!" Young Master Ye's resounding voice echoed throughout the empty space. "Today I will teach you some advanced concealment and escape techniques. These skills will not only make you more adept at carrying out missions, but they can also save your lives at critical moments!"

With that, Master Ye vanished from sight in a flash. The scouts looked at each other in astonishment. Just then, Master Ye's voice rang out from afar: "The key to the art of concealment lies in blending in with your surroundings, becoming a part of nature..." As he explained, the scouts gradually grasped the key.

Meanwhile, Elder Zhao was buried in a mountain of ancient tome, his brow furrowed in thought. His already graying hair became even more disheveled, but his gaze grew more focused and sharp. After days of poring over it, he finally found a passage in a yellowed ancient book about strengthening defenses.

"So that's how it is!" Elder Zhao slapped his thigh excitedly, "By combining natural elements and ancient runes, we can actually create such a powerful concealed barrier!" He couldn't wait to start experimenting, mixing various rare materials together in specific proportions, and drawing complex and mysterious rune patterns on the ground.

At the moment the final stroke was made, a dazzling light shot up into the sky like lightning! This light was so dazzling that it obscured everything around it. Then, it spread outward at an astonishing speed, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Soon, these rays of light intertwined and merged, eventually forming a thin, yet incredibly strong, transparent film. This film slowly descended, completely enveloping the entire camp. From a distance, the once clearly visible camp vanished in the blink of an eye! It was as if it had never existed, with not even the slightest trace left.

While strengthening the defense, Song Yao also realized that improving the strength of her followers was a top priority. She decided to organize a comprehensive training program aimed at breaking through the bottlenecks in the training of her followers.

The training plan encompasses strength training, elemental manipulation, combat techniques, and the cultivation of character. Song Yao personally guides her followers, using the power of the Crystal of Wisdom to provide targeted training advice and assistance.

Hao Jin and Master Ye also participated in the training guidance. They shared their own training experience and combat skills to help their followers improve their strength faster.

During the training process, the followers showed great enthusiasm and perseverance. They knew that only by constantly breaking through their own limits could they play a role in the upcoming battle.

As the cultivation plan was in full swing, an unexpected aid arrived to Song Yao's forces. A mysterious cultivator, claiming to be from a distant cultivation sect, brought with him a special cultivation method that he claimed could help his followers break through the bottleneck.

As the practice method became more popular, the overall strength of Song Yao's forces was significantly improved. Followers continued to break through their own limits in practice, and their strength and skills had a qualitative leap.

Hao Jin and Master Ye also gained new insights during their training, further enhancing their strength. Elder Zhao used this time to combine ancient formations with cultivation techniques to create a new defense system, greatly improving the camp's defensive capabilities.

Under Song Yao's leadership, the morale of the forces is unprecedentedly high. Everyone is working hard for the upcoming battle. They believe that under Song Yao's leadership, they will be able to defeat the comprehensive attack of the Custer family.

However, unexpectedly, just as this powerful force was growing stronger and reaching its peak, a sinister and terrifying dark force, like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, was quietly approaching them. This dark force seemed to possess endless mystery and evil, leaving people shuddering.

Meanwhile, the powerful and far-sighted head of the Custer family, somehow or other, had become acutely aware of Song Yao's covert actions. He knew that if Song Yao's power grew, it would pose an unprecedented threat to his family. Without hesitation, he mobilized the vast forces at his disposal, meticulously planning and preparing a comprehensive and ferocious attack against Song Yao and his forces. This impending storm was destined to unleash turbulent waves and alter the course of the entire situation.

Song Yao stood at the edge of the training ground, gazing at the starry sky in deep thought. She knew the true storm was coming, and she must be prepared. She clutched the Crystal of Wisdom tightly, sensing the power within. This power would be the key to facing the storm. Song Yao took a deep breath, ready. She would lead her forces to meet the coming storm. Her courage and wisdom would lead her to a new future, and her forces would be her strongest support. No matter how fierce the storm, she would face it bravely.
