Chapter 362: Respite and Vigilance after the War
The noise of the battle gradually subsided, and the battlefield was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder. The soldiers of the Alliance and the friendly forces sat on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory. Shen Mo looked at the devastated land, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Clean up the battlefield immediately and rescue the wounded." Shen Mo's voice was tired but still firm and powerful.
The soldiers struggled to get up and began to follow orders. Su Yao led the medical team to quickly shuttle between the wounded. Her hands were stained with blood, but her eyes were focused and gentle.
"Be gentle and carry him over here." Su Yao directed her assistants, not daring to stop for a moment.
Qingfeng and the female general organized the soldiers to collect the spoils and count the casualties.
"We suffered heavy losses this time, but at least we repelled the enemy." Qingfeng frowned as he looked at the casualty list in his hand.
The female general patted his shoulder and said, "As long as we are still here, there is hope."
Lin Yuwei and other magicians sat aside, recovering their over-consumed magic power.
"This battle was really difficult, but we survived." A smile appeared on Lin Yuwei's pale face.
In a corner of the battlefield, the friendly general found Shen Mo.
"Thank you for your support. If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous." Shen Mo said sincerely.
The friendly general waved his hand and said, "We all share the same hatred and the same enemy. It is our common responsibility to fight against the forces of darkness."
In the following days, the Alliance camp was busy. The wounded were properly treated, the bodies of the fallen soldiers were solemnly buried, and people began to repair the damaged fortifications and replenish weapons and supplies.
Shen Mo would hold meetings with the generals every day to discuss the next plan.
"Although we won this time, the dark forces will not give up. We must be fully prepared." Shen Mo said.
Qingfeng nodded in agreement, "Yes, we must strengthen our training and improve our combat effectiveness."
The female general suggested, “Perhaps we can establish a closer connection with our friendly forces and defend together.”
Lin Yuwei said, "The magicians and I will continue to study magic and look for more powerful forces to fight against darkness."
During the reconstruction process, the Alliance also welcomed some civilians to join. After hearing about the heroic deeds of the Alliance, they expressed their willingness to contribute their own strength to defend their homeland.
"Although we don't have the ability to fight, we can help with cooking, washing clothes and do other things within our ability," said an old man.
Shen Mo looked at them gratefully, "Every bit of strength is precious, and you are welcome to join us."
However, under the seemingly calm surface, the crisis was quietly lurking. One night, the soldiers on patrol discovered some abnormal signs.
"Chief, there are some strange footprints around the camp. They don't seem to be left by our people." The patrol soldier reported.
Shen Mo's heart tightened, "Strengthen patrols and keep a close eye on them."
At the same time, in the shadow of darkness, a new conspiracy is brewing.
"This failure is only temporary. We will make the Alliance pay a heavier price!" said a dark wizard viciously.
"We are training a stronger army and preparing to launch a new round of attacks." said another leader of the dark forces.
The Alliance knows nothing about this. They are still preparing for future battles and are wary of the dark forces coming again...
