Chapter 314 The Villain Lady Arrives 143

"We won!" Alice turned around and looked at the team members behind her. Their faces were filled with the joy of victory. "We have completely wiped out the Dark God Cult's action team!"

The players cheered one after another, knowing that this victory was hard-won. They had gone through countless hardships and obstacles, made great sacrifices and efforts, and finally won this moment of glory and honor.

"But," Alice's voice rang out again, suppressing the cheers of the team members. "We can't let our guard down. Although the Dark Cult has suffered a heavy blow, they are still lurking in the dark and may come back at any time. We must continue to strengthen our vigilance and stay alert until the Dark Cult is completely wiped out."

The team members nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that Alice was right. Although the battle was over, their mission was not yet complete. They would continue to fight for light and justice until the day when darkness completely disappeared.

After the thrilling battle, Alice and her team were immersed in the short-lived joy of victory, but there was still a subtle tension and solemnity in the air. Alice stood on the ruins of the church, looking deep into the distance, as if thinking about the more far-reaching future. At this moment, a familiar figure quietly approached, it was her childhood sweetheart - Tariq.

Tariq was wearing silver armor, and the mottled marks on the armor recorded his bravery and dedication in this battle. There was a complex light in his eyes, with deep affection for Alice and expectations for the future. He slowly walked to Alice's side, stood side by side with her, and looked out at the land that was illuminated by light again.

"Alice, we...finally won." Tariq's voice was low and gentle, with a barely perceptible tremor. His words contained both the joy of victory and the unspoken thoughts of many years.

Alice turned her head to look at Tariq. The eyes that had once chased and played with her and grown up together now looked particularly deep. She smiled slightly, and that smile contained both recognition of her comrades and nostalgia for the good old days. "Yes, Tariq, we won. But the battle is far from over, and the Dark Cult is still lurking in the dark."

Hearing this, Tariq nodded slightly, then took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. "Alice, I have something to say to you." His voice suddenly became firm, and he looked directly into Alice's eyes, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into them.

Alice felt a little surprised, but more curious. She stopped, turned around, and faced Tariq with a serious attitude she had never had before. "Go ahead, Tariq, I'm listening."

Tariq took a deep breath, as if he wanted to gather all his courage in this moment. "Alice, we have been through countless hardships together since we were little. I... I have always liked you, and this feeling has never changed. I know that I have missed many opportunities because of my incompetence, and even watched you get together with the Third Prince and Saint Aidan. But now, they are no longer obstacles. I want to tell you that I am willing to use everything I have to protect you and prove my love for you."

Alice listened to Tariq's confession, and mixed emotions surged in her heart. She had never thought that Tariq would confide in her at this time of war. She looked at Tariq's eyes full of sincerity and desire, and her heart could not help but ripple. However, she also knew clearly that now was not the time to talk about love, not to mention that her own heart was full of uncertainty.

"Tariq..." Alice spoke softly, with a hint of hesitation in her voice, "I appreciate your feelings for me, and I cherish our friendship. However, you have seen the current situation. The Dark Cult may make a comeback at any time. What we need is unity to fight against evil together. As for personal feelings, I... I really can't think about that right now."

Tariq's eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted his mood. "I understand, Alice. I was too impatient. I will put this feeling in my heart for the time being. When everything is settled, it won't be too late for us to talk again." His words were full of understanding and tolerance, which made Alice feel a little warm.

Alice patted Tariq's shoulder gently to comfort him. "Thank you, Tariq. I feel safe with you by my side. Let us work together to fight for light and justice."

Tariq smiled and nodded, and the two stood side by side again, looking firmly into the distance. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but they believed that as long as they had love and faith in their hearts, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

In the following days, Alice worked more closely with Tariq and the entire special operations team. Not only did they continue to investigate the movements of the Dark Cult, but they also strengthened their alliances and cooperation with other forces. Under Alice's leadership, they successfully dismantled several secret bases of the Dark Cult in the kingdom, greatly weakening the opponent's strength.

However, the Dark Cult did not give up resistance. They began to take more cunning and cruel means to retaliate against the Church of Light. Alice and her team faced unprecedented challenges and dangers. But no matter what difficulties and tests they faced, they always maintained firm beliefs and the power of unity.

In a late night raid, Alice and Tariq fought side by side to resist the crazy attack of the dark believers. They stood back to back, and the sword light and magic intertwined into a dazzling spark in the air. Every confrontation was full of life and death tests and emotional interweaving.

"Tariq, be careful!" Alice suddenly shouted, and saw a man in black robe rushing out from the darkness, holding a sharp dagger and running straight towards Tariq. Tariq reacted quickly and dodged the attack by turning sideways. But he also realized that this was just the beginning, and more enemies were approaching them.

"Don't worry, Alice. I won't let you get hurt." Tariq said, swinging the sword in his hand violently, splitting a black-robed man in half. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if he wanted to vent all his anger and strength in this battle.

Alice looked at Tariq's back, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that no matter what kind of danger or difficulty she faced, Tariq would stand in front of her without hesitation. This deep affection and protection made her feel extremely safe and warm.
