Chapter 248: Saving the Common People
"Everyone, pay attention! The enemy is about to break through the defense line!" Lin Xuan stood on the observation tower of the base, and his voice was loud and firm throughout the camp. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at the enemy in the distance. The enemy's black flag fluttered in the wind, like a sign of death.
"Lin Xuan, how long can our defense hold out?" Su Wan'er stepped forward eagerly, her brows furrowed. Her hands tightly grasped the long sword, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"Half an hour at most." Lin Xuan whispered, with a hint of heaviness in his voice. "We must find a breakthrough as soon as possible, otherwise the entire base will be in crisis."
"I will lead a team to attack from the flank and attract the enemy's attention." Li Hao said as he checked his equipment with a determined look on his face.
"No, it's too dangerous." Lin Xuan shook his head, "You are our core combat force, we can't take this risk."
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Linger asked anxiously, her wand flickering as if waiting for orders.
"We need more time," said Zhang Lao, the mentor. His voice was not loud but full of authority. "The enemy is numerous. We must outsmart them instead of outfighting them."
"Mr. Zhang, do you have any good ideas?" Lin Xuan turned around and asked, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"We can use the terrain to ambush them." Zhang Lao pointed to a narrow valley on the map. "This is the only way the enemy can pass through. We can set a trap here."
"Good idea!" Li Hao's eyes lit up, "I will lead a team of elites to ambush here."
"I'll go too." Su Wan'er said without hesitation.
"No, neither of you can go." Elder Zhang shook his head. "Your mission is to hold the front line of the base and delay the enemy's attack. I will personally lead the team to set up an ambush in the valley."
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's decided. Mr. Zhang, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, I've lived for so long and I'm not dead yet." Old Zhang smiled, patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder, and then led a team of elite warriors to leave quickly and head towards the valley.
Lin Xuan watched Zhang Lao's back disappear into the night, then turned to face the other soldiers, "Everyone, this battle concerns the life and death of all of us, please be sure to go all out!"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded in unison, eager to fight.
As time passed, the enemy's offensive became more and more fierce. Lin Xuan and Su Wan'er fought side by side, swords flashing, magic flying, and tenaciously resisted the enemy's attack.
"Lin Xuan, how long will it take for the reinforcements from the rear to arrive?" Su Wan'er asked, panting heavily, her forehead already covered with sweat.
"There are still ten minutes left," Lin Xuan waved his sword to fend off an enemy soldier, "We must hold on!"
At this moment, a loud noise was heard in the distance, followed by a series of explosions. Lin Xuan was delighted, this was a signal from Mr. Zhang!
"Everyone hold on, the ambush has already begun!" Lin Xuan shouted loudly to cheer up the soldiers.
Sure enough, with the sound of explosions in the valley, the enemy's offensive weakened significantly and they were disrupted by the sudden attack.
"Li Hao, lead your men to counterattack!" Lin Xuan gave an order, and Li Hao immediately led a team of soldiers to rush out from the flank and fiercely attacked the enemy's flank.
"Fight for the base! Fight for our home!" Zhao Linger raised her magic wand and summoned a shining barrier to provide cover for the soldiers on the front line.
Under the double attack of the base defense line and the valley ambush, the enemy troops gradually collapsed. Their command system was disrupted, morale was low, and they began to flee in all directions.
Lin Xuan cut off the head of the last enemy with one sword, let out a long sigh, looked around, and the battlefield gradually returned to calm.
"We won." Su Wan'er walked to Lin Xuan, with a hint of excitement and fatigue in her voice.
"Yes, we won." Lin Xuan nodded with a smile, but he knew in his heart that this was only a temporary victory and the real challenge was still ahead.
Zhang Lao returned with his ambush troops, a triumphant smile on his face, "Well done, Lin Xuan."
"Mr. Zhang, thanks to your advice, otherwise we might not be able to hold on." Lin Xuan said gratefully.
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Zhang Lao waved his hand and said seriously, "However, the enemy's main force has not moved yet. This is just their advance team. We must be more fully prepared."
Lin Xuan nodded. "I will reorganize the troops and replenish supplies as soon as possible. Next time, we will be stronger."
"I'll contact external reinforcements." Li Hao volunteered, "We can't fight alone, we need more allies."
"Go ahead, and be careful." Lin Xuan patted Li Hao on the shoulder.
"Su Wan'er, Zhao Ling'er, you should also go and take a rest and recharge your energy." Old Zhang said with concern.
"No, Mr. Zhang, we still have a lot to do." Su Wan'er shook her head and said firmly.
"Yes, we must seize the opportunity to pursue the victory." Zhao Linger nodded in agreement.
Lin Xuan looked at their determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, "Okay, let's work together to save this world!"
In this battle, Lin Xuan and his companions not only won the victory, but also won hope and trust. They know that the road ahead is still full of difficulties, but as long as they unite, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and welcome a bright tomorrow. "
