Chapter 317 The Villain Lady Arrives 146
On the eve of a major battle, everyone stood side by side on the city wall, looking at the approaching storm in the distance. Alice held the staff tightly in her hand, with a firm light in her eyes: "No matter how many difficulties and challenges there are ahead, as long as we are united in heart, nothing can stop us from moving forward.
Just as Alice's words echoed on the city wall, inspiring everyone's heart, a sudden cloud covered the starry sky, as if even the sky had changed color. Everyone looked up at the gradually approaching darkness, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts. However, at this critical moment, their attention was still occupied by reconciliation and unity among each other, and they did not expect that a crisis was quietly approaching.
Alice sensed a subtle change in the air, but she thought it was just a precursor to the coming storm, so she continued firmly, "We have faced countless difficulties together before, and this time will be no exception. Let us join hands to protect this land and the people we love."
Tariq clenched his fists and looked at Alice firmly, as if conveying silent support and trust with his eyes. He turned to his confidantes and said, "No matter what happens, we must stay calm and support each other. Alice is right. As long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats approached from afar, breaking the tranquility of the night. A messenger covered in dust and panting rushed to the city wall, shouting: "Urgent information! The small country under the protection of the Church of Light was attacked by an evil dragon, and the princess was abducted. The evil dragon left a message, demanding a huge amount of gold coins to redeem the princess!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the city wall was shocked, and they all cast shocked and worried eyes. Alice frowned, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She knew very well that the appearance of the evil dragon was not only a threat to that small country, but also a test for the stability of the entire alliance.
"We must act immediately!" Alice made a decisive decision. She looked at Tariq with determination in her eyes. "Tariq, lead some elite soldiers to rescue the princess and make sure she is safe. At the same time, I will contact the Church of Light and ask them to send reinforcements. We will be able to resolve this crisis by working on both fronts."
Tariq did not hesitate at all. He knew that he had a great responsibility, so he quickly organized a team of elite soldiers and prepared to set off. Before leaving, he looked at Alice deeply. The eyes of the two were full of tacit understanding and trust that did not require any words.
"Don't worry, Alice. I will bring the princess back safely." Tariq's words were brief and powerful, and then he led the team and disappeared into the night.
Alice immediately contacted the Church of Light. She used her deep relationship with the church's top leaders to quickly convey the news and request the church to send a powerful group of paladins to assist in the rescue. While waiting for a reply, she was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, but she knew that she had to stay calm and be fully prepared for the next action.
At the same time, the confidantes also organized themselves spontaneously. Although they could not directly participate in the battle, they used their expertise to provide various support for the rescue operation. Leah was responsible for collecting supplies and ensuring the logistics supply of the rescue team; Martha was responsible for intelligence collection and kept an eye on the movements of the evil dragon; and other confidantes mobilized their own networks to get more help for the rescue operation.
As time went by, Alice finally received a reply from the Church of Light. The church said it would send an elite force led by the leader of the Paladin Order to provide support, and promised to do its best to assist in the rescue operation. This news made Alice feel relieved, and she immediately told everyone the good news.
"We have the support of the Church of Light, and the balance of victory has tilted towards us!" Alice's words were full of confidence and encouragement. "Now, all we have to do is wait for good news from Tariq, and at the same time make all preparations to meet the challenge of the evil dragon!"
However, just as everyone was preparing for the decisive battle, an unexpected message came again. A spy came in a hurry and brought a shocking news: the dragon did not wait for the rescue team at the scheduled location as expected, but suddenly changed direction and flew towards an important city under the protection of the Church of Light!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone fell into panic. Alice was even more anxious, because she knew that if the dragon successfully attacked the city, it would cause immeasurable losses and disasters.
"We must change the plan immediately!" Alice made a decisive decision, "Everyone, get ready, we will set off to that city immediately and stop the dragon before it arrives!"
Following an order, Alice led her confidantes and a group of volunteers to quickly gather and rush towards the city. Their hearts were filled with fear of the unknown and desire for victory, but more importantly, they trusted and relied on each other.
On the way to the city, Alice kept in touch with the Church of Light to ensure that they could provide timely support. At the same time, she also used her magical power to conduct long-range reconnaissance, trying to find the trace of the evil dragon and formulate corresponding countermeasures.
After a difficult journey and intense battle preparations, Alice and her group finally arrived at the city. However, when they stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, they found that the evil dragon had already approached the city. Its huge body blocked out the sky, and its huge wings flapped the air with a deafening sound.
Facing such a powerful enemy, Alice knew that she could not fight it with her own strength alone, so she quickly convened an emergency meeting of the warriors and magicians in the city to discuss countermeasures.
"We must use the city's defense facilities to resist the dragon's attack." Alice analyzed calmly, "At the same time, we must also try to distract the dragon's attention to buy time to rescue the princess."
After intense discussions and preparations, Alice worked out a detailed battle plan. She personally led a commando team of elite warriors and magicians to fight the dragon outside the city, while others were responsible for holding on to the city walls and ready to provide support at any time.
When Alice and her group appeared in front of the dragon, the dragon didn't seem to take them seriously. It roared to the sky and pounced on Alice and her group with its huge body. However, Alice was prepared. She quickly cast a powerful magic shield to protect everyone and commanded the warriors to launch a fierce attack.
