For the next few days, Xu Yuehuai investigated the situation around the mine, often hiding in the shadows at the edge of the mine.
Her gaze, however, was exceptionally bright, capable of piercing through layers of darkness to see those hidden details.
On this day, she saw a person dressed in very fine clothes appear at the edge of the mine. The captains of the alien races called him "High Priest".
It seems that he is the mastermind behind the fate of the people in the Dark Moon Kingdom!
This alien high priest possesses special powers, allowing him to manipulate people's hearts using precious stones.
"The Kingdom of Dark Moon must not allow such a treacherous villain to run rampant here!" Xu Yuehuai clenched his fists at his sides.
It would indeed be difficult for her to shake that vast dark empire on her own; she needed to unite with the righteous people around her and advance and retreat together.
After learning who was behind it all, Xu Yuehuai secretly contacted righteous men and warriors in the streets and alleys.
Before long, everyone gathered in a simple miner's hut.
Xu Yuehuai said to everyone, "I came to tell you that the nearby mines are man-eating monsters!"
"That's a conspiracy by the high priest of the alien race. He wants to seize special power to control more people for his own use. In that case, everyone in the four kingdoms could become their pawns!"
"Only by uniting can we save the innocent miners, rescue our own families, give ourselves a chance to survive, and strive for a better future for future generations!"
After his initial surprise, Old Li immediately exclaimed indignantly, "You're absolutely right, young lady! We not only have to secure our own lives, but also think about our descendants! I'm willing to follow you, young lady!"
"I'd love to!"
"Girl, just tell us what you want us to do! I'll do whatever you say!"
Those present responded enthusiastically; many of them were chivalrous heroes with a sense of justice, while a small number were local officials.
Xu Yuehuai was surprised that these people accepted his proposal and were willing to follow him. This was a small but tenacious force!
She must make good use of this power, making it even greater, enough to break the shackles of darkness!
Xu Yuehuai looked around at everyone and said, "Those enemies are powerful and cunning. We can only defeat them by using unconventional methods—"
A man stood up, head held high, and said in a deep voice, "I am strong and can be the vanguard. Even if I am crushed to pieces, I will charge forward!"
“Me too!” A woman from the martial arts world stepped forward. “I long to change this unjust situation and let those who are trapped be free.”
Xu Yuehuai clapped approvingly, her smile deepening.
“Very good, I have seen everyone’s courage and determination.”
"We are no match for them in terms of force alone, and we may not be able to compete with them in terms of wisdom and strategy either."
"But if we go deep into the people, awaken their consciousness, and get them to join our side, and then together uncover the spies of the foreigners in various places, break their bottom-level chains, and attack them step by step upwards, it might be feasible."
After listening to Xu Yuehuai's analysis, the members of the resistance organization understood the problem and realized that they now had to operate in the shadows.
So they all went their separate ways, some going deep into the mines to awaken the miners' consciousness.
Some infiltrated the city to expose the corrupt practices of the officials.
Others secretly spread rumors among the common people about the foreign high priests' plot to occupy the Dark Moon Kingdom.
After some time, the people of the border city of the Dark Moon Kingdom understood what the foreigners had done on their own land, and their anger simmered like a volcano.
Finally, the time to launch a counterattack arrived, and Xu Yuehuai led his men toward the location of the alien high priest.
However, someone risked their life to deliver a message.
"The alien high priest... he already knows about our plan!"
"He secretly dispatched his strongest elite force, which had already..."
The man died before he could finish speaking.
Xu Yuehuai tried to suspension the man with acupuncture to keep him alive, but it was to no avail.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very oppressive, and everyone remained silent.
Xu Yuehuai understood that if this atmosphere continued to spread, they would probably be defeated without a fight.
"Summon all those in charge; let's start an emergency meeting."
The resistance members immediately summoned the management, and everyone gathered in the small room again.
"There's really no need to panic!"
"I had already prepared a countermeasure."
"I had already set up some traps and ambush points nearby. When the real battle begins, I'm sure I can give them a good beating!"
Xu Yuehuai's words reassured them somewhat, but some people were still reluctant to believe it.
"So what do we need to do?"
"Just distract the enemy."
Xu Yuehuai assigned each of them some tasks, and everyone went off to get busy after the meeting.
Xu Yuehuai, meanwhile, was keeping watch among the crowd, checking the situation of the traps and ambush points.
This battle is of paramount importance, concerning the lives of thousands present and the future peace of the Dark Moon Kingdom; it must be fought without fail.
Fifteen minutes later, the elite troops of the alien race indeed gradually tightened their encirclement.
Xu Yuehuai's eyelids twitched, and she said calmly, "They're here."
"Prepare to attack!"
At a command, Xu Yuehuai's men launched the first attack.
Activate all ambush points and launch a counterattack!
"Boom! Bang! Bang! Swish! Swish!"
Although their weapons are relatively outdated, they have a large quantity of them!
Tens of thousands of bamboo arrows were launched in an instant. Combined with boulders, fire tubes, hunting nets, and other weapons, the enemy was trapped in no time.
A fierce battle broke out, and the enemy was only scattered for a moment before they quickly attacked them again.
Xu Yuehuai took the lead, her sword dancing like a dragon, extremely fierce, and her attacks posed a great threat to the enemy.
With her leadership, the resistance members quickly gained the upper hand, and they fought with increasing ferocity.
The elite troops sent by the alien high priest were utterly unworthy of their title. Under the repeated attacks of Xu Yuehuai and his men, they were reduced to groans and were quickly routed.
Xu Yuehuai stood on the edge of the battlefield amidst the smoke of gunpowder, looking at the enemy corpses scattered all over the ground. She felt that this was too surreal, as if everything was progressing too smoothly.
However, after examining the bodies, no signs of a conspiracy were detected.
Could it be that the enemy was careless this time, which led to their victory?
The resistance members didn't think too much about it; instead, they actively dealt with the post-war situation.
All the surrounding mine shafts were blown up, and the miners were rescued and sent back to their homes.
The resistance members were overjoyed and held a bonfire celebration that night.
