Fantasy: The Counterattack of the Female Sovereign

After the thrilling Night Walker raid, the Alliance's magic core had narrowly escaped destruction. However, Song Yao and Hao Jin knew that this hard-won peace was merely the calm before the storm. Thus, they immediately began planning and implementing a plan to further strengthen the magic core's defenses.

After careful consideration, Song Yao was the first to propose her own idea: "I think we can build a protective shield constructed from the power of the Heart of Light around the core. This way, it will not only effectively withstand physical impact from the outside, but more importantly, it will also have a very good resistance to the terrifying shadow magic." Hao Jin nodded slightly in agreement after hearing this, and then he offered his own opinion: "This alone may not be enough. In my opinion, we should carefully lay a series of exquisite elemental magic traps outside this protective shield. If any uninvited guests dare to trespass into this forbidden area, these traps will instantly sense their presence like sensitive hunting dogs, and then automatically trigger and launch a fierce attack without mercy!"

The two hit it off and immediately set to work. In the days that followed, they worked tirelessly and unitedly to put their plans into action. On the one hand, Song Yao devoted herself to studying and mastering the power of the Heart of Light, doing her utmost to construct an indestructible protective shield. On the other hand, Hao Jin fully utilized his outstanding magical attainments and rich practical experience to skillfully design and personally install those hidden but astonishingly powerful elemental magic traps.

In addition, they jointly made a crucial decision: to select the strongest magicians from the entire alliance and assign them the important task of guarding the core magic area. This arrangement ensured that the core area would always be guarded by top experts at all times, thus maximizing the security and reliability of the overall defense system.

Under the calm and composed command of Song Yao and Hao Jin, the Alliance's numerous magicians sprang into action, engaging in intensive and methodical preparations. They skillfully combined the mystical power of ancient runes with the innovative thinking of modern magic circles, fitting seamlessly like a jigsaw puzzle, to construct a rock-solid, unbreakable defense system.

With waves of dazzling light, the magic core, the linchpin of the entire defense system, was gradually enveloped by layer upon layer of impenetrable protective shields. From afar, the dazzling magic core resembled a rare gem, tightly guarded by countless shields of light, emitting an awe-inspiring radiance.

However, the cunning Shadow Witch refused to give up easily after her previous setback, nor did she choose to rest. Instead, she lurked in the deep, dark shadows like a ghost, meticulously plotting a new, even more sinister scheme. She knew that to avenge her previous defeat and completely defeat Song Yao and her alliance, she had to find a way to destroy that crucial magical core, thereby significantly weakening Song Yao's immense power.

To achieve this goal, the Shadow Witch began to relentlessly search for long-forgotten ancient magic scrolls and taboo books of terrifying spells. She firmly believed that among these little-known and incredibly powerful mysterious magics, there must be a unique method that could penetrate the Alliance's ironclad defenses, allowing her to strike directly at the heart of light, the symbol of justice and hope.

At that moment, the Shadow Witch's already eerie eyes gleamed with an almost insane, fanatical light. To fulfill her twisted obsession with revenge, she would not hesitate to pay any price, no matter how heavy!

Even as she frantically prepared for the defense, Song Yao pondered the origins of her Heart of Light. Sitting quietly in her tent, her eyes slightly closed, her thoughts flooded back to the trials and tribulations she had endured since arriving here.

From the initial trepidation of entering this unfamiliar world to gradually adapting to the environment and bravely facing the difficulties and challenges that followed, every scene flashed clearly in her mind like a movie scene. Whenever she encountered a crisis, a warm and powerful force would always surge from the bottom of her heart, supporting her to move forward courageously and never retreat.

After much reflection, Song Yao finally realized: This heart of light wasn't innate, but rather something she had developed through countless trials and tribulations and bloody battles. It was her unwavering faith and fearless courage that allowed this power to coalesce and ultimately transform into the brilliant light that illuminated her path.

Now that she had grasped the origins of the Heart of Light, Song Yao knew that to effectively utilize it and protect the Alliance, she must delve deeper and more comprehensively into it. Thus, she resolutely chose to practice in seclusion, hoping to uncover the secrets of the power hidden deep within her heart.

Day after day, Song Yao immersed herself in meditation and diligent practice. As time passed, she gradually realized that her Heart of Light held an inexplicable, mysterious connection with the Alliance's magical core. Whenever she fully mobilized the power of light, she could sense a resonating resonance from the core, as if the two were communicating through some hidden channel. This strange connection thrilled Song Yao, and she became increasingly convinced that if she could fully master the secret, she would achieve a quantum leap in her strength, providing the Alliance with the most solid and reliable defense.

After careful consideration, Song Yao and Hao Jin finally reached a consensus - they urgently needed to explore and adopt a new and unique defensive strategy. This strategy could not only rely on traditional physical defense and magic shields, but also rely on Song Yao's heart, which contained the infinite power of light.

So, the two of them carefully planned a grand and significant light ceremony, which aimed to perfectly fuse Song Yao's dazzling heart of light with the power of the mysterious magic core, and then weave a rock-solid, unbreakable protective net.

During the intensive preparations for the ceremony, an unprecedented sense of cohesion permeated the entire alliance. Every member could clearly sense the immense power unleashed by this united effort, as if an invisible bond bound them all together. Everyone placed immense trust and confidence in Song Yao and Hao Jin, confident that under the guidance of these two exceptional leaders, the alliance would be able to successfully withstand any fierce attack the Shadow Witch might unleash.

However, when the entire alliance was immersed in preparing for the grand and solemn ceremony of light, no one noticed that the shadow witch with mysterious whereabouts and evil intentions was busy planning her next sinister move in the darkness.

After much searching and research, the Shadow Witch miraculously discovered a form of shadow magic from ancient times. It was said that this mysterious magic possessed astonishing power—it could allow the user to break free from the constraints of space in a short period of time, freely traveling to shadowy places where even light could barely reach.

The Shadow Witch, secretly delighted, immediately realized that this would undoubtedly be a perfect weapon for her to achieve her ambitions. Thus, a vicious plan gradually took shape in her mind: she intended to skillfully use this miraculous shadow magic to stealthily approach the Alliance's magical core, and when they were caught off guard, suddenly launch a fierce attack that would kill them.

Meanwhile, as the Ceremony of Light draws near, the once relaxed and cheerful atmosphere within the Alliance gradually becomes shrouded in an invisible tension. Song Yao and Hao Jin, both within the Alliance, have a keen intuition that the Shadow Witch's ulterior motive is quietly brewing, but they remain unable to discern the enemy's specific plan.
