Sofia (gripping her staff, her gaze resolute): "Are you ready? Whatever lies ahead, we must face it!"
Caroline (gripping her giant axe tightly, gritting her teeth): "I can't wait any longer! These enemies don't look like much at all."
Just as they were about to make a decision, the enemy forces in the distance gradually became clearer. Leading them was a tall, burly warrior clad in heavy armor, with several followers beside him possessing various magical powers.
**Istra (in a low voice): "Newcomer, go to the rear and observe the enemy's movements. Report back as soon as possible."
**Newcomer** (nods and quickly leaves): "Understood, leave it to me!"
Seeing this, Los sneered and slowly said, "Hmph, it seems you're about to have another uninvited guest. But this time I won't give you another chance."
**Onlooker A** (covering his mouth in horror): "My God... Is this really a force we can fight against? These people are incredibly strong."
**Onlooker B (clenching fists, eyes resolute):** "Don't give up! The heroes will not let us down! As long as we unite, we will definitely win!"
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the wise man suddenly stepped forward and spoke in a gentle yet powerful voice:
**The Wise Elder:** "Children, true power comes not only from the weapons and magic in your hands, but more importantly from the faith and courage in your hearts."
These words seemed to infuse everyone with a powerful force, instantly energizing them.
**Eileen** (smiling at her companions): "That's right, just like the old man said. No matter what awaits us, we must remain steadfast and fight side by side!"
By this time, the enemy forces had already approached the camp. The lead heavily armored warrior stopped, coldly surveyed the entire camp, and finally fixed his gaze on Istra and his group.
**Enemy Leader** (in a deep voice): "The humans here are nothing special, but there seem to be a few interesting ones... especially you, little girl." He pointed at Eileen, "Your strength is quite unique. Surrender, and I can give you more resources to improve yourself."
Caroline (roaring, brandishing her giant axe as she steps forward): "Don't even think about touching her! Anyone who dares to come near me will try my axe!"
**Onlooker C (exclaims in amazement):** "Wow, this girl is really something! She's a total tomboy! So cool!"
**Onlooker Ding (admiringly):** "Yes, their courage is truly commendable. Having such brave warriors fighting for us makes us feel incredibly safe!"
Faced with such provocation, Eileen simply smiled faintly and did not directly respond to the enemy leader's words, but instead looked at her teammates.
**Eileen:** "Are you all ready for the new challenge? Remember, whatever the outcome, believe that we will stand together. Victory will surely be ours."
Having said that, she first spread her hands and drew complex magical symbols in the air. A powerful force then gathered in her hands.
**Enemy Leader** (sneers, draws his longsword): "Since that's the case, let's prove everything with our strength. Prepare to receive my attack!"
As the two armies faced off, the atmosphere in the camp was almost boiling over. Everyone held their breath, silently cheering on these brave young men.
But at that moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky, and everyone involuntarily looked up—only to see a huge meteorite crashing down towards the battlefield…
**Istra** (exclaimed in surprise): "What's going on?! How could a meteorite appear?!"
**Eileen** (gaze sharply fixed on the sky): "This isn't a natural phenomenon... someone must be manipulating it. But why this particular time?"
**The Wise Elder (thinking deeply):** “Sometimes fate presents the cruelest test, but it can also be the best guidance... You must be careful in dealing with it, as the secrets hidden behind it are probably much more complicated than you can imagine.”
As the meteorite drew closer, the entire camp seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow. The villagers scattered and fled, fear etched on every face.
Faced with an impending catastrophe and a powerful enemy still lurking in the shadows, Istra and her companions are filled with an unprecedented and unwavering belief...
Sofia (taking a deep breath, then shouting to the others): "Concentrate! Use all your strength to withstand the impact of this meteorite!"
**Caroline** (loudly echoing): "Listen to her, brothers and sisters, now is not the time to be afraid, let's give it our all!"
Just as everyone was working together to resist the disaster, the figure of the mysterious old man gradually disappeared into the chaos, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips...
What will happen in the future? What is the true intention behind all of this? Only time will tell.
Just as everyone was panicking about the impending meteorite, Sofia's voice, like a steady force, pierced through the chaos.
Sofia (firmly and forcefully): "Listen up, everyone! We need to unite and pool our strength to withstand the impact of the meteorite!"
Upon hearing the command, the entire camp seemed to quickly recover from the brief chaos. Everyone began to assemble as instructed, preparing to deal with this unexpected situation.
**Onlooker E** (with a tense face but a calm voice): "Listen to this young lady! Let's all work together!"
**The onlooker (nodding, his tone tense yet trusting):** "She's right. Only this way do we have a chance to survive..."
Meanwhile, led by Eileen, several mages began their magical preparations. They formed a circle, each chanting their own incantations, attempting to construct a massive protective shield.
**Eileen** (frowning, the light in her hand growing brighter): "In the name of light, construct a defense!"
Caroline (wielding a giant axe and standing guard beside them, muttering to herself): "Come, use all your strength to protect us. I will be your strongest shield."
The enemy troops in the distance, seeing the changes unfolding here, were clearly hesitant. Their leader also seemed to be considering whether to continue the attack.
**Enemy Leader** (narrowing his eyes, speaking in a low voice): "This is a good opportunity... but that meteorite is certainly extraordinary. We'll decide later." He turned and ordered the soldiers behind him, "Get ready, strike at the opportune moment!"
Suddenly, a strange sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, accompanied by an indescribable powerful aura—it turned out that more mysterious reinforcements were approaching the battlefield!
**Newcomer** (runs back quickly to report to Istra): "Captain! I've spotted a group of powerful individuals of unknown identity approaching this area, and their actions seem to be aimed at helping us!"
This news thrilled everyone present.
**The Wise Elder** (reappearing in the crowd, a hint of admiration in his eyes): "It seems you're not fighting alone. Fate always arranges everything so cleverly... but the key lies in how you face the challenge."
At this critical moment, the meteorite crashed into the ground. A massive shockwave instantly spread outwards, but thanks to everyone's combined efforts, the force that would have caused devastating destruction was significantly weakened. As the dust settled, a group of ragged but determined young people stood on the ravaged land, and several new faces were walking towards them…
-**Newcomer A** (wearing exotic clothing, handsome face): "You guys did a great job! But the battle has only just begun."
-**Newcomer B** (Female warrior, tall and agile): "That's right, let the professional team handle the rest."
While the immediate pressure of these "allies" of unknown origin has been temporarily relieved, new questions have arisen: Are they friends or foes? And why did they choose to join the battle at this time?
Sofia (looking warily at the strangers before her, but still maintaining a polite demeanor): "Thank you all very much for your help. May I ask who you are and what your purpose is?"
**Caroline** (staring intently at the group opposite her, gripping her axe, poised to strike): "You're right! You'd better confess honestly, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
**Eileen** (looking at the newcomer with gentle yet resolute eyes): "Regardless, we stand together in facing a formidable enemy. I hope it will continue to be so in the future..."
Just as the atmosphere became tense and uncertain, a change occurred on the enemy's side—more reinforcements were on their way to this land...
To be continued...
