Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Upon receiving news of the impending return of the dark forces, the entire village seemed shrouded in a thick gloom. The tense atmosphere was like a taut string, ready to snap at any moment. The air seemed to solidify, so heavy that it was almost impossible to breathe.

In the open space in the center of the village, Lin Yu, Lin Feng, Zhao Ling'er, and several other core members sat together. Lin Yu's expression was serious; his tightly furrowed brows looked as if they could trap a fly. His gaze was as firm as iron as he said in a deep voice, "The dark forces have come with overwhelming force this time. We must be fully prepared. This is a life-or-death battle, and there is no room for carelessness." His voice echoed in the silent air, carrying an undeniable authority.

Lin Feng clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, his brows furrowed like deep ravines, and his eyes burning with rage: "Brother Lin Yu, we need to set up more traps around the village so they won't come back alive! This time, we must make them taste our power! I want to avenge our dead fellow villagers!" It was as if a raging fire was burning in his heart, every word filled with anger and determination, wishing he could immediately rush into the enemy ranks and fight them to the death.

Zhao Ling'er nodded slightly, biting her lip, her expression solemn and focused. Her bright eyes shone with intelligence and composure as she slowly said, "The trap is one aspect, but we also need to strengthen our intelligence gathering. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. We cannot blindly engage in battle; we must understand the enemy's troop deployment and operational plans." Her voice was gentle yet firm, like a clear spring in the tense atmosphere, allowing people to calm down and think more clearly.

Lin Yu nodded vigorously, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "Ling'er is right, we need to send out some clever people to investigate. Also, everyone's training cannot be neglected; we must improve our strength in a short time. This is our hope for survival, the last line of defense for our homeland!"

Everyone agreed, their eyes shining with determination, and then they quickly divided up the tasks and got to work.

Lin Yu personally led a group of people to dig traps around the village. Under the blazing sun, sweat poured down their foreheads, dripping onto the ground. Lin Yu swung his shovel tirelessly, sending dirt flying. As he dug with all his might, he shouted encouragement to everyone: "Keep it up, everyone! These traps are our first line of defense! If we do a good enough job, we can corner the enemy!" His voice was slightly hoarse from exhaustion, but it was full of power, inspiring everyone.

Lin Feng then organized the villagers to make simple weapons. He busily moved among the crowd, constantly instructing everyone: "Sharpen these spearheads even more, so that we can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy! We cannot be careless in the slightest; every weapon could determine our life or death!" The villagers focused intently, and their movements became increasingly rapid and powerful.

Zhao Ling'er, leading several agile young people, quietly left the village under the cover of night to investigate the whereabouts of the dark forces. The surroundings were pitch black, with only the faint moonlight illuminating their path. With each step, Zhao Ling'er's heart pounded in her chest. She carefully avoided any sources of noise, silently praying that she would successfully obtain useful information.

Night fell, and the village was brightly lit. On the training ground, shouts of battle echoed. Lin Yu stood to the side, his gaze fixed intently on the trainees, his face serious. Seeing someone slow down slightly due to fatigue, he immediately shouted, "Concentrate! This is no game! The enemy won't give us any respite!"

Meanwhile, Zhao Ling'er and the others cautiously made their way forward in the darkness. Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead.

"Be careful, something might be wrong!" Zhao Ling'er said in a low voice. Her heart raced instantly, and her hand unconsciously tightened around the short sword at her waist.

They crept closer and discovered a small group of the dark forces setting up camp. Zhao Ling'er peered through the gaps in the grass, fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

"It seems they're not far from us." Zhao Ling'er's heart was pounding like a drum; she was so nervous she could almost hear her own heartbeat. "We must go back and report as soon as possible."

When Zhao Ling'er returned to the village with the intelligence, Lin Yu and the others were waiting anxiously.

"How is it?" Lin Yu asked anxiously, his eyes filled with anticipation and worry.

Zhao Ling'er, panting heavily, said quickly, "They are only about a day's journey away from us, and there are many of them. Judging from their equipment, they are all elites this time."

Lin Yu took a deep breath, his eyes hardening with determination: "Then let's prepare for battle! No matter what, we must protect our homeland!"

The entire village was immersed in a tense atmosphere of preparation for war. Everyone knew that a fierce battle was about to begin, and they were ready to fight to the death.
