As time passed, the enemy's casualties continued to mount, and they were on the verge of collapse. Seeing the situation was hopeless, Jiang Yao felt resentful, yet helpless. She glared at Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen with hatred, then, taking advantage of the chaos, fled with a few trusted men.
Shen Qingchen was about to pursue, but Jiang Zhi stopped him. "Don't pursue a desperate enemy. Our top priority is to treat the wounded, reorganize our forces, and guard against a counterattack." Shen Qingchen paused for a moment before nodding. The coalition forces began cleaning up the battlefield, treating the wounded, and collecting the spoils. Jiang Zhi bustled about, constantly busy, while Shen Qingchen coordinated follow-up arrangements. Though the two exchanged no words, their glances revealed a mutual trust and understanding.
After this fierce battle, the manor was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the sight of severed limbs and arms scattered everywhere was horrifying. But the faces of the allied soldiers showed no fear or fatigue, only the joy of victory and unwavering confidence in the future. They knew that this was just a key battle on the road to revenge, and greater challenges lay ahead. But with Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi leading the way, they were fearless.
After everything was settled, Shen Qingchen came to Jiang Zhi, looking at her slightly tired but still strong face, her heart was full of heartache: "Jiang Zhi, you are tired, take a rest first." Jiang Zhi shook her head slightly, her eyes still on the injured soldiers: "I'm fine, they still need me." Shen Qingchen sighed lightly, no longer persuading, but just stood beside her silently, helping to deal with some things within her ability.
At this moment, the dawn broke, a faint light shimmering across the ruins of the manor, gilding the blood-soaked land with a faint golden hue. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen stood side by side, gazing towards the mysterious organization in the distance, the flames of revenge burning ever more fiercely in their hearts. They knew this battle was only the prelude; the true decisive battle was about to begin. Together, they would forge ahead until the mysterious organization was completely destroyed and justice was restored to the world.
For the next few days, the coalition forces seized every moment to rest and recuperate. Jiang Zhi worked tirelessly, using her exceptional medical skills to treat the wounded and restore many who were critically injured and near death. Shen Qingchen, on the other hand, traveled extensively, liaising with various factions to ensure the smooth flow of supplies and intelligence. The child, cared for by a dedicated person in their temporary room, occasionally cried. Jiang Zhi's heart would always well up at the child's cries, but she could only rush over to offer a few words of comfort before returning to her busy schedule.
Shen Qingchen watched Jiang Zhi's busy back, his heart awash with mixed emotions. He was impressed by Jiang Zhi's strength and kindness, yet also felt guilty for the hardships she endured alone. He secretly vowed that once this storm subsided, he would spend the rest of his life making up for all the suffering she had endured and giving her and her child a stable and happy home.
Even amidst her busy schedule, Jiang Zhi occasionally recalls the sweet memories of her past with Shen Qingchen. Those moonlit strolls, warm dinners, and affectionate embraces, long forgotten due to misfortune, now flow back like a warm current, bringing her a sense of comfort amidst this brutal struggle. She knows her feelings for Shen Qingchen have never truly faded, merely buried beneath hatred and responsibility. Now, with Shen Qingchen's return, the love that had been buried so deeply within her heart is beginning to sprout again. However, the road ahead is long, and she wonders if she can walk hand in hand with him to the end.
In this tense yet tender atmosphere, the coalition forces gradually regained their strength and fully prepared for the next battle. They waited, waiting for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow to the mysterious organization, waiting for the moment when justice would triumph over evil. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen would undoubtedly be the twin stars shining brightly in this decisive battle, leading everyone through darkness and toward light.
