Chapter 264 Take the initiative
After a fierce battle, the town temporarily returned to peace, but the air was still filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood. Although Li Yunfei and others successfully repelled this wave of attacks by the Dark Cult, everyone was seriously injured and exhausted.
Li Yunfei sat at a corner of the city wall, his clothes were tattered and the wounds on his body were still bleeding. He looked into the distance, his eyes revealing a trace of worry. The breeze blew, lifting his messy hair, which made his vicissitudes and determination more obvious.
Lin Yue leaned against him, her face as pale as paper, and her staff almost slipped from her weak hands. She panted lightly, and every breath seemed so difficult, but her eyes remained firm, as if she was thinking about how to recover from everyone's injuries in order to prepare for the next battle.
Zhang Hao was lying not far away, his spear slanted into the ground, his hands hanging limply. His chest was heaving violently, and the wounds on his body made him feel extremely painful even when he moved, but he was still mumbling: "Next time, I will definitely beat them to a pulp."
Feng Yu sat on the city wall, her legs curled up, her hands on her knees. Her hair was a little messy, and her face was stained with blood and dust. She looked at the sunset in the sky, her eyes showing both fatigue from the battle and confusion about the future.
Mo Ying stood alone in the shadows, his short blade was broken, and his black clothes were torn in many places. His eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked around silently, as if he was guarding against the enemy's attack again.
As night falls, the lights in the town light up one after another. However, this weak light seems so small and fragile in the darkness.
Li Yunfei struggled to stand up, "Everyone, we can't fall down like this. We must recover as soon as possible and prepare for the next battle." His voice was weak but full of strength.
Lin Yue forced herself to sit up straight, "I will try my best to prepare more healing potions."
Everyone supported each other and returned to their residence, where they began the difficult recovery process.
For the next few days, the town was silent, with only the sound of Lin Yue preparing the potion and the occasional coughing of people.
Li Yunfei lay in bed, the pain from his wounds making it hard for him to fall asleep. He recalled every moment of the battle, thinking about his own shortcomings, and silently praying in his heart that his companions would recover as soon as possible.
In his dream, Zhang Hao was still waving his spear and shouting battle slogans loudly.
Feng Yu sat in front of the window, looking at the starry sky outside, his heart filled with desire for peace.
Mo Ying practiced alone in the dark, trying to improve his strength.
Finally, with Lin Yue's efforts and everyone's strong will, their injuries gradually improved and their physical strength slowly recovered.
One morning, the sun shone on the streets of the town, bringing a touch of warmth and hope.
Li Yunfei gathered everyone together, "Friends, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to disrupt the deployment of the Dark Cult."
Everyone nodded, the flames of fighting burning in their eyes.
They began to make detailed plans for a raid on an important stronghold of the Dark Order.
During the preparation process, they carefully selected weapons and trained tactical coordination.
On the day of departure, Li Yunfei and others wore black night clothes and set off quietly under the cover of night.
Along the way, they carefully avoided enemy patrols and crossed dense forests and treacherous valleys.
Lin Yue used magic to sense the surrounding environment and guide everyone to a safe path.
Zhang Hao walked in front, with the spear in his hand ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
The flame in Feng Yu's hand is ready to ignite at any time to illuminate the way forward.
Mo Ying patrolled the surroundings silently like a shadow, making sure no enemies were following them.
Finally, they arrived outside the Dark Cult's base.
The stronghold is heavily guarded, and the high walls and watchtowers are intimidating.
Li Yunfei observed for a while and said, "We will climb over the wall from the back. Lin Yue, you and Feng Yu will be responsible for dealing with the enemies on the watchtower. Zhang Hao and Mo Ying, rush in with me."
Everyone acted according to the plan. Lin Yue and Feng Yu quietly approached the watchtower and cast spells to silently eliminate the enemies on it.
Li Yunfei and others quickly climbed over the wall and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy in the stronghold.
Li Yunfei's sword flashed coldly in the darkness, and every swing took the life of an enemy.
Zhang Hao's spear was like a dragon, and enemies fell to the ground wherever it went.
Feng Yu's flames spread throughout the stronghold, causing the enemy to panic.
Mo Ying relied on his agility to shuttle between enemies and deal fatal blows to them.
After a fierce battle, they successfully captured the stronghold and obtained important intelligence and supplies.
However, during their retreat, they were discovered by the Dark Order and pursued.
"Everyone speed up!" Li Yunfei shouted.
Lin Yue continued to cast spells from behind to block the enemy's pursuit.
Zhang Hao and Mo Ying were responsible for covering their retreat and engaging in a desperate battle with the pursuing enemies.
Feng Yu ran while turning back to release flames, trying to slow down the enemy.
Li Yunfei and his companions tried their best to run forward, but the dark cult behind them was chasing them closely. Just when they were about to be caught up, a wide and turbulent river suddenly appeared in front of them. The river water rushed down, splashing everywhere, like a ferocious beast, blocking their way.
"There is no way back, let's cross the river!" Li Yunfei shouted without hesitation, and then jumped into the river. In an instant, his body was submerged by the cold river water, and the water flow hit his body, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. But he gritted his teeth, tried to keep his balance, and swam desperately to the other side.
Seeing Li Yunfei's decisiveness, everyone followed suit and jumped into the river one after another. They struggled in the water, trying to fight against the strong current. Some people seemed to have a hard time because they were not good at swimming, but they still persevered and moved towards the other side.
The members of the Dark Cult chased to the riverside, watching Li Yunfei and the others gradually disappearing into the distance, and roared angrily. They tried to catch up, but faced with the turbulent river, they had to stop.
"Damn it! Let them get away!" the leading dark cultist roared in frustration.
"Don't worry, boss. This river will block their way and they can't escape." Another believer comforted.
"Hmph! We will continue chasing them after they come ashore. This time we must catch them all in one fell swoop!" said the leader viciously.
Li Yunfei and his companions finally swam to the other side and climbed up the shore exhausted. They were panting, soaking wet, and in a mess. But they knew that this was only a temporary respite, and there would be more challenges waiting for them.
Li Yunfei and others finally got rid of the enemy's pursuit and returned to the town.
