Chapter 286: Post-war Restoration and No New Crisis
After escaping from the dangerous cave, Shen Mo and his companions returned to the village exhausted. The sun shone on them, but it could not dispel the remaining haze of the battle.
In the village, villagers gathered around and asked about the battle situation with concern. Su Yao smiled and comforted everyone: "We successfully stopped the ritual of the dark power, but everyone should not take it lightly."
Shen Mo called everyone together to start the post-war summary and rest. The wounded soldiers were arranged in a temporary medical tent, and Su Yao and other medical staff were busy treating their wounds and preparing herbs for them.
"Gently, gently." A soldier grimaced in pain.
Su Yao said softly: "Hold on, it will be fine soon."
Lin Yuwei sat aside, closing her eyes to recover her over-consumed magic power. Her face was pale and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
Qingfeng and the female general began to check the damage of weapons and equipment, and arranged personnel to repair and replenish them.
"We lost a lot of weapons in this battle. We have to build a new batch as soon as possible." Qingfeng said with a frown.
Shen Mo was thinking about his next plan. He knew very well that although he had won this time, the dark forces would never give up.
In the days that followed, the village was busy. The sound of clanging iron could be heard from the blacksmith's shop day and night, carpenters were busy making new fortifications, and women were sewing new clothes for the soldiers.
Shen Mo was not idle either. He discussed tactics with the old man every day and studied how to further enhance the village's defense capabilities.
"Senior, what do you think the dark forces will do next?" Shen Mo asked.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "It's hard to say, but since they suffered a loss this time, their next attack will probably be even more fierce."
Just as everyone was preparing for the future, a scout hurried back to the village.
"Oh no, some suspicious figures were found in the south of the village." The scout said breathlessly.
Shen Mo's heart tightened: "Go check it out immediately."
Qingfeng led a team of soldiers and followed the scouts to run south.
When they arrived, they found a group of mysterious people in black robes, quietly observing the situation in the village.
"Who are you?" Qingfeng shouted loudly.
The mysterious man saw them and turned and ran.
Qingfeng led his men to chase after him, but the mysterious man seemed to be very familiar with the terrain in this area and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it, they ran away." Qingfeng said angrily.
After returning to the village, Qingfeng reported the situation to Shen Mo.
"These mysterious people are most likely scouts sent by dark forces. It seems they are plotting a new conspiracy." Shen Mo said.
The female general said: "We must strengthen patrols and not let them take advantage of the situation."
Lin Yuwei also said: "I will strengthen the magic detection to see if I can find more clues."
Meanwhile, some disturbing rumors began to spread in the village.
"I heard that the dark forces are about to launch a large-scale attack. We will definitely not be able to stop them this time."
"I heard that those mysterious people have very powerful magic. We are no match for them at all."
These rumors made the villagers panic.
When Su Yao heard these rumors, she hurried out to appease everyone: "Don't believe these rumors. We have successfully resisted so many attacks, and we will definitely be able to do it this time."
Shen Mo also stood up and said: "Don't worry, we will protect the village and everyone."
Thanks to the efforts of Shen Mo and others, the villagers' emotions gradually stabilized.
However, new threats were approaching step by step. One night, the village alarm suddenly sounded.
"Oh no, there are enemies!" a soldier shouted.
Shen Mo and the others quickly stood up and rushed to the village entrance. They saw the army of the dark forces coming like a tide. This time, their equipment was better and their momentum was more fierce.
"Get ready for battle!" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
A fierce battle started again...
