He swung his longsword fiercely, and golden sword energy ripped through the night sky like lightning, knocking away all the enemies blocking his way.

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived! Kill them!" Ning Yu shouted, his voice filled with boundless fighting spirit and killing intent.

Ning Yu's soldiers, already inspired by his valiant leadership, were now even more energized by the prospect of victory, unleashing astonishing fighting power. They charged ahead, their weapons flashing like streaks of light, reaping the lives of their enemies.

The soldiers of the new force were already demoralized due to the fire at their own rear. Now, seeing Ning Yu's troops rushing in like tigers descending the mountain, their morale plummeted, and they lost all fighting spirit, only able to retreat in defeat.

"Hold on! Hold on, all of you!" the new leader roared hoarsely, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the deafening battle cries, sounding utterly powerless.

“Chief, we…we should retreat…” A soldier covered in blood stumbled up to the chief, his voice filled with fear and despair.

"Retreat? Where can we retreat to?!" The leader closed his eyes in despair. He knew they had lost the battle... The desperate cries of the new faction's leader echoed across the empty battlefield, but could not reverse the defeat. Ning Yu's soldiers surged in like a tide, completely overwhelming the remaining enemy.

"Take a good rest now, there are more important things to do next." Ning Yu said, gazing into the distance, a strange light gleaming in his eyes.

This victory not only crushed the new forces, but more importantly, it greatly boosted the morale of Ning Yu's faction, giving everyone hope and a future. With his exceptional strategy and courage, Ning Yu once again proved his leadership abilities, winning everyone's respect and support.

A few days later, Ning Yu's forces were immersed in the joy of defeating the new force. The soldiers celebrated their victory with one another, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

"Report—" A scout rushed into the command post, knelt on one knee, and said urgently, "Reporting, leader, we've discovered something to the south..."

The scout paused abruptly, as if considering something. After a moment, he looked up, his eyes gleaming with disbelief, his voice trembling slightly:

"There...there seems to be a..."
