"Aze, we need to coordinate well, find the pause when he releases his spell, and then attack together!" Xu Yuehuai said in a low voice.

Qi Guze nodded, and the two began to cooperate more seamlessly. They attacked and dodged at times, gradually figuring out the wizard's attack patterns.

Finally, in a fierce exchange, they found the wizard's weakness. When the wizard unleashed a powerful dark spell, his body trembled slightly, revealing an opening.

Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze immediately seized the opportunity, attacking and defending in perfect coordination as they launched a fierce attack on the wizard. Their attacks were as fierce as a torrential rain, leaving the wizard with no way to dodge.

"Ah—" The wizard screamed as he was struck by the two men's attacks and fell heavily to the ground.

As the wizard fell, the dark magic gradually dissipated. Silence returned to the tower, leaving only the sounds of Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze breathing heavily.

The two men exchanged a glance, both beaming with victorious smiles. They knew that this arduous battle was finally over!

Upon hearing the news, the people of the capital cheered with joy, applauding Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guzhe's bravery and wisdom. Their figures were raised high by the people, as if they had become the guardian deities of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four kingdoms.

Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze stood on the city wall, looking at the cheering crowd, with relieved smiles on their faces. They knew that although the crisis was arduous, they had successfully resolved it with their unwavering faith and unparalleled courage.

"Aze, we did it!" Xu Yuehuai said excitedly, tears glistening in her eyes.

Qi Guze nodded and held Xu Yuehuai's hand tightly: "Yes, all of this has paid off very well."

The two exchanged a smile and agreed to continue leading the allied forces to safeguard the peace and prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four kingdoms.

In the days that followed, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze fought side by side, venturing deep into the mountains and forests, determined to eradicate all the remaining threats left by the sorcerer. They led the allied soldiers through the dense forest, each step fraught with unknowns and dangers.

The morning sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating Xu Yuehuai's resolute face. He was clad in armor, holding a long sword, his gaze sharp and fixed ahead.

Qi Guze stood beside him, dressed in a mage's robe, holding a magic staff in his hand, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

"Aze, do you think this dark magic will be more powerful than the previous ones?" Xu Yuehuai asked in a deep voice, a hint of worry in his tone.

Qi Guze frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "The wizard's methods are unfathomable, and we cannot be careless. But as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat it."

The allied soldiers heard their conversation, and their morale soared instantly. They followed closely behind Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze, preparing for the impending battle.

As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive. A sense of darkness permeated the air, as if countless eyes were lurking in the shadows, watching them. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze's expressions grew ever more grave; they knew the true test was about to begin.

"Aww~!"

Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead, followed by a group of evil beasts rushing out of the forest. Their ferocious faces were filled with a bloodthirsty desire, and their bodies exuded a dark aura.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuehuai immediately drew his sword and charged forward. He moved with agility, his sword flashing, and each swing accurately severed the beast's attacks.

Qi Guze stood to the side, waving his magic staff and unleashing powerful magical attacks to repel the beasts charging at the front.

The allied soldiers launched their own attacks, coordinating seamlessly to defend against the onslaught of the strange beasts. However, these beasts seemed endless, surging in wave after wave, leaving the allied soldiers feeling overwhelmed.

Just then, Xu Yuehuai suddenly discovered the beasts' weakness. He shouted, "Aze, look at the eyes of those beasts! They seem to be controlled by some kind of force!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Guze immediately turned his gaze to the eyes of the strange beasts. He noticed something unusual; the eyes of these beasts flickered with an eerie light, as if they were controlled by some dark force.

“I understand now. These beasts are controlled by the wizard using dark magic,” Qi Guze said. “We must first destroy the source of power that controls them.”

Xu Yuehuai nodded, continuing to wield his longsword and fight fiercely against the beasts. Qi Guze, on the other hand, began to cast powerful spells, attempting to find the source of power controlling the beasts.

After a fierce battle, the allied soldiers finally found a dark altar hidden deep in the forest. This altar exuded a strong dark aura, clearly the source of power controlling the monsters.

Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a smile. They knew that destroying the altar would free them from the control over the alien beast. They launched a fierce attack together, shattering the altar into pieces.

As the altar collapsed, the controlled beasts gradually regained their senses. They ceased their attacks and fled back into the depths of the forest.

The allied soldiers cheered; they had successfully wiped out this wave of dark forces. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze also smiled with relief, knowing that this was just the beginning and many more challenges awaited them.

In the days that followed, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze led the allied soldiers deeper into the mountains to eradicate the dark magic and evil forces left behind by the sorcerer. Every battle was filled with danger and excitement, but with their unwavering faith and formidable strength, they overcame difficulties time and again.

Their tacit understanding deepened, with Xu Yuehuai's bravery and Qi Guze's wisdom and decisiveness complementing each other, making them invincible in battle. The allied soldiers also held them in high esteem and regarded them as heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four kingdoms.

However, the crisis was not entirely over. Although the wizard had been defeated, his dark forces had not completely dissipated. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze knew that they must continue their efforts to completely eradicate the dark forces and protect the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four kingdoms.

Therefore, they began to practice martial arts and magic even more diligently to improve their strength. They led the allied soldiers in continuous combat drills to enhance their fighting capabilities.

Under their leadership, the strength of the allied soldiers continued to increase, and their combat effectiveness grew stronger. They successfully eradicated the dark magic and evil forces left behind by the sorcerers, bringing peace and prosperity to the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four kingdoms.

During a deep expedition into the mountains, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze discovered a hidden, dark cave. The cave exuded a strong aura of darkness, clearly indicating it was an important stronghold left behind by a wizard.
