Chapter 56

After Xu Tiancai and his companions successfully controlled the dark energy of the Crystal Ball, they returned to the Allied Camp, exhausted but relieved. Their heroic deeds once again spread throughout the Allied forces, and they became heroes in the eyes of all. However, they did not bask in the joy of victory for long, for they knew that the threat of the Dark Alliance remained and that world peace still faced enormous challenges. At the Allied Camp, Xu Tiancai, Zhang Jie, and Mila met with other commanders to discuss the next plan of action. After this fierce engagement with the Dark Alliance, they deeply realized that relying solely on the victory of a single battle was far from enough. They had to fundamentally weaken the Dark Alliance’s forces to ensure lasting peace for the world. They decided that the Allied forces would divide into several small groups to launch attacks on various Dark Alliance strongholds, gradually dismantling their power. Xu Tiancai, Zhang Jie, and Mila volunteered to lead a team to a location that intelligence reports identified as a vital supply depot for the Dark Alliance. The site was located in a remote, mountainous area with treacherous terrain and tight defenses, but if successfully captured, it would deal a major blow to the Dark Alliance.
