His voice grew weaker and weaker, as if he might breathe his last at any moment. Lu Mingfei's heart tightened suddenly. He recalled the sense of powerlessness he had experienced in this war, and the young cadet in front of him reminded him of himself.

"Don't give up, we'll take you back!" Lu Mingfei held the student's hand tightly, trying to give him one last bit of courage.

Tian crouched down, calmly observing the trainees. "How far can you go? We need to evacuate as soon as possible."

The trainee's eyes were glazed over, as if he had given up hope. "I...I can't go on...but...please...take our intelligence back with you..."

Lu Mingfei's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Intelligence? What intelligence?"

The student struggled to raise his hand, pulled a blood-soaked file from his robes, and trembled as he handed it to Tian. "This is... what we discovered... the key to the resurgence of the dragon race's power... Please... bring this back to the academy..."

Tian quickly took the file bag, his gaze cold and resolute. "Don't worry, we will definitely bring it back."

"You...you must stop them..." The student's voice gradually lowered, his eyes flashing with a final plea, "We...sacrificed everyone to stop the dragons' resurgence...please...don't let them die in vain..."

The student's eyes gradually dimmed, his hands fell limply to his sides, and his breathing gradually stopped.

Lu Mingfei witnessed all of this, and a strong emotion welled up in his heart. His hand was still tightly holding the student's cold fingers, and his eyes were filled with pain and helplessness.

"He...he's still so young..."

Caesar sighed softly, his smile fading as he stood up. "War never distinguishes between the young and the old, Mingfei. The dead never choose their age."

A trace of sorrow flashed in Chu Zihang's eyes, but his tone remained calm, "We must move forward; his sacrifice cannot be in vain."

Tian stood up, gripping the file folder tightly, his eyes cold. "With his beliefs, we will continue to fight. The dragons will not stop easily; they will continue to rise until they destroy everything... but we will never stop either."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, stood up, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Although his heart was filled with pain and self-blame, he knew that he could not stop. "Let's go and continue the fight."

The aircraft engine roared to life again, and the four-person team, with heavy hearts and carrying the last wishes of the cadet, returned to the battlefield.

As the aircraft gradually ascended, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and distant mountains were faintly visible, their snow-capped peaks seemingly foreshadowing an even greater crisis to come.

"The power of the dragons is still stirring, and our battle is far from over," Tian said coldly, his gaze still fixed on the horizon ahead. "Every sealing point could be the starting point of the next war."

Caesar chuckled, his relaxed expression returning. "No matter how many enemies we face next, we're used to it. Let's keep fighting."

Chu Zihang silently gripped the knife in his hand, his eyes still cold. "We have no choice. The Dragon Clan's revival plan must be completely destroyed."

As Lu Mingfei watched the snow rushing past the window, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him; the face of that young student remained vivid in his mind.

He knew that every battle to come would be filled with sacrifice, and he had to become stronger to protect more people and prevent any more innocent people from dying.

The aircraft pierced through the wind and snow, gradually disappearing into the distant horizon. The battle of the four-person team was not over; their fate had long been sealed, destined to continue entangled with the power of the dragons.

In the command center of Kassel College, the professors were already preparing for the next operation. The flashing red dots on the screens indicated that more crises were approaching, and their only hope lay with these indomitable warriors.

Lu Mingfei, Tian, ​​Chu Zihang, and Caesar will continue to fight to the very last moment for the future of humanity and for the academy's beliefs.

The aircraft traversed the darkness, the distant clouds still heavy, as if about to engulf the world. The four-person team sat inside the cabin, a tense atmosphere filling the air. Although they had successfully completed their mission at the northern sealing point, everyone knew in their hearts that the battle was far from over.

Lu Mingfei leaned back in his chair, his gaze somewhat vacant as he stared out the window, the young cadet's dying words still echoing in his mind. The cadet's eyes, his helplessness, his sacrifice… all of this resonated deeply within Lu Mingfei. He clenched his fists tightly, a surge of indescribable oppression and anger welling up inside him.

"Are you alright?" Tian suddenly asked, looking calmly at Lu Mingfei, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he had already seen through his thoughts.

Lu Mingfei didn't answer immediately. He knew that Tian Yi was always cold, yet he could always see through other people's emotions at a glance. He took a deep breath and forced a smile, "It's nothing, it's just... I feel a little powerless."

Tian didn't say much, calmly looking at him. "We've gotten used to loss, but every battle is worthwhile. That student fought to protect the academy and the future of humanity, and our mission is the same."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "I know... but sometimes I really wonder if all these sacrifices are worth it."

“There’s no question of whether it’s worth it or not, only that we have to do it,” Chu Zihang said coldly, his hand still gripping the knife tightly, his eyes filled with determination. “Everyone has the right to choose, but in this war, we chose to fight. There’s no turning back on this path.”

Caesar's smile remained flippant, but his tone was unusually serious. "This is our fate, Lu Mingfei. You can choose to complain, but complaining won't change anything. You can only keep moving forward until the battle is over."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then finally raised his head, took a deep breath, and said, "You're right, we must continue fighting." He knew he couldn't back down, especially not at a time like this.

As the aircraft drew closer to Kassel College, the faint rumble of thunder in the sky seemed to foreshadow an even greater storm to come.

"We're home," Tian said in a low voice, a sharp light flashing in his golden eyes. "But we don't have much time to rest; the next battle is approaching."

A few minutes later, the aircraft landed smoothly on the academy's helipad. The four-person team quickly disembarked and stepped onto the academy grounds. Although they were back in a relatively safe place, everyone knew in their hearts that this was only a temporary respite.

“We need to see the dean and professors and give them the intelligence,” Tian said calmly, clutching the file bag the student had desperately handed them. “This intelligence might be the key to breaking the Dragon Clan’s revival plan.”

Lu Mingfei nodded silently. Although he still felt exhausted, he knew that things were not over yet, and there were more tasks waiting for them.

The command center at Kassel College remained brightly lit, with professors intensely discussing their next course of action. Flashing red dots on the screens indicated that more crises were approaching.

The academy's sealing system has been severely impacted, with varying degrees of anomalies observed at sealing points around the world, while the dragon race's revival plan continues.

“The power of the dragons is more complex than we anticipated.” The academy head stood in front of the screen, his brows furrowed and his gaze grave. “Although you have successfully destroyed the core of the northern seal point, the situation at the other seal points is even more dire, especially the southern and eastern seals, which have reached a critical point.”

Tian stepped forward and handed the file bag to the academy headmaster. "This is intelligence we found at the northern sealing point, from a student in the support team."

His voice remained calm, but a hint of heaviness flickered in his eyes, clearly indicating that the student's death had had some impact on him.

The dean took the file bag, quickly opened it, and flipped through the intelligence contents, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"This intelligence indicates that the Hermes family is not only plotting the resurgence of the dragons, but they have also successfully grasped the energy flow patterns between the sealing points and are using these patterns to gradually weaken all the seals." The academy head's voice was low and serious. "We must take immediate action, or all the sealing points may collapse completely."
