After this battle, the friendship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four kingdoms deepened, and their determination to jointly resist foreign enemies became even stronger.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze continue to protect this land and safeguard the peace and happiness of its people.
Their legendary stories will live on forever, inspiring future generations to bravely face challenges and protect their homes and beliefs.
At the edge of the wilderness, they gazed into the distance, knowing full well that many unknown dangers and challenges still lay hidden in this world, waiting for them to explore and face them.
Therefore, they always maintain a high degree of vigilance, constantly honing their skills and enhancing their wisdom in preparation for any eventuality.
Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye. The relationship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four kingdoms has become increasingly close, with them jointly agreeing on defense strategies and strengthening cooperation and communication.
Throughout this period, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze steadfastly upheld their responsibilities, protecting this land and the people who live on it.
On this day, the sun shone brightly over the capital, making everything radiant. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze walked side by side on the city wall, gazing into the distance. Their faces were filled with determination and resolve, as if no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, they would move forward without fear.
"Yuehuai, look at this capital city, so prosperous and beautiful, where people live in peace and contentment," Qi Guze said, pointing to the street below.
Xu Yuehua nodded and smiled slightly, "Yes, this is the result of our hard work. However, we cannot relax because of this; we must always remain vigilant."
Qi Guze agreed, "You're right. This world is full of unknowns, and we must be fully prepared."
As the two were talking, a series of hurried footsteps approached. A soldier rushed in, his face filled with panic, and reported, "Generals, something terrible has happened! A strange plague has broken out in the capital, and the people are suffering terribly!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze's expressions immediately turned serious. They exchanged a glance, a resolute glint in their eyes.
"Let's go take a look!" Xu Yuehuai said, and then headed to the epidemic area with Qi Guze.
Within the epidemic zone, desolation reigned. The once bustling streets were now deserted, save for the occasional groans of pain. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze walked along the street, their hearts filled with sorrow as they looked at the people lying on the ground.
“This plague seems unusual,” Qi Guze said, frowning.
Xu Yuehua nodded and pondered, "That's true. Ordinary medicines are unlikely to be effective. We must find the source of the plague in order to completely solve the problem."
After a brief discussion, the two decided to personally venture deep into the epidemic area to uncover the truth. They donned their armor, took up their swords, and embarked on this journey filled with unknowns and dangers.
Deep within the epidemic zone lay desolate. A chilling wind howled, as if countless ghosts were wandering about. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze advanced cautiously, constantly alert to their surroundings.
Suddenly, a strange laugh rang out. The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a mysterious old man dressed in a black robe standing before them. The old man's eyes gleamed with a profound light, as if he could see through all the illusions of the world.
"Generals, how have you been?" the old man said slowly, his voice deep and weathered.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance, secretly on guard. They bowed and said, "Senior, we have come to investigate the source of the plague. Do you know anything about it?"
The old man smiled slightly and said, "This plague is caused by a dark spell cast by an evil wizard. To cure the plague, you must find this wizard and break his dark spell."
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were shocked upon hearing this. They hadn't expected the plague to be caused by dark magic. They exchanged a glance, a resolute glint in their eyes.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Xu Yuehuai said, then bid farewell to the old man with Qi Guze and embarked on the arduous journey to find the wizard.
After a difficult search, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze finally found the wizard's hiding place—a dark tower standing atop a mountain.
The tower stood alone in the night, surrounded by a thick aura of darkness, as if even the moonlight could not penetrate that heavy darkness.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze stood at the foot of the tower, looking up. The tower seemed to reach straight to the sky, its body shrouded in darkness, with only its spire faintly visible in the night sky. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a resolute expression.
"Gu Ze, it seems we're really in trouble this time," Xu Yuehuai said in a deep voice, gripping his longsword tightly, as if he could feel the chill emanating from the blade.
Qi Guze nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yue Huai, now that we have found the wizard's hiding place, we cannot back down. No matter what, we must eradicate the wizard for the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the four kingdoms."
Without another word, the two charged toward the tower. Their figures vanished swiftly into the night, leaving only the clanging of swords carried on the wind.
Inside the tower, it was dark and damp. The wizard stood atop the tower, a chilling smile on his face. He wore a long black robe and a hideous mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with arrogance and disdain.
Seeing Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze rushing towards him, the wizard sneered, "You two actually dare to come looking for me? You're really overestimating yourselves!"
As he spoke, he waved his magic staff, unleashing powerful dark magic. Instantly, the tower was filled with a dark aura, as if it would devour the two of them.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze showed no fear, slashing their swords at the dark magic. In an instant, magic and martial arts intertwined, bursting forth with dazzling light. Their figures weaved through the light, like two bolts of lightning flashing through the darkness.
"Aze, watch out!" Xu Yuehua shouted as a dark spell hurtled towards Qi Guze. Qi Guze reacted quickly, dodging the spell with a sidestep.
"Ah Yue, you too!" Qi Guze replied, simultaneously swinging his sword at the wizard. The wizard sneered, easily dodging Qi Guze's attack.
Although their attacks were fierce, they didn't seem to pose much of a threat to the wizard. The wizard stood atop the tower, like a king who controlled the darkness, coldly watching the two.
"You two are quite strong, but you're still a long way from defeating me!" the wizard mocked.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing a defiant spirit. They knew that to defeat the wizard, they had to find his weakness.
So the two began to observe the wizard's attack methods more carefully. They discovered that although the wizard was powerful, there was a brief pause after each spell. This pause, though only for a moment, was the key to defeating the wizard.
