Rift: Countdown to Doomsday

Chapter 262: After a storm

Lin Xuan led the team back to the base. After many days of running around, they finally managed to escape from the enemy's pursuit. Everyone's face was full of fatigue, but their eyes still flashed with determination.

"Everyone, take a break first. I have something important to discuss with you." Lin Xuan looked at everyone, his voice low and powerful.

Su Wan'er stepped forward and asked with concern: "Lin Xuan, although the mission was completed this time, we lost a lot of manpower. What should we do next?"

Lin Xuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er is right. Although this operation was successful, we do need to re-evaluate the current situation. First, we need to confirm the safety of everyone, and then make a new plan."

Wang Yang stood aside, frowning: "The enemy seems to have mobilized more forces this time, we must be more cautious."

"Yes." Lin Xuan took a deep breath, "The days ahead will not be easy. We must be fully prepared."

At this moment, Zhao Linger walked in from outside with an anxious look on her face: "I just received news that the enemy seems to be gathering new forces and preparing to launch a larger-scale attack on us."

"What?" Li Hao slammed the table angrily upon hearing the news. "We just caught our breath, and they are going to attack again?"

Lin Xue also seemed a little nervous: "If the enemy really attacks on a large scale, how should we respond?"

A trace of determination flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes: "We must prepare for a rainy day and take defensive measures in advance. At the same time, we must send out a reconnaissance team to find out the enemy's movements as soon as possible."

"I am willing to lead the team to conduct reconnaissance." Wang Yang volunteered, "I am fast and can find out the enemy situation as soon as possible."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Okay, Wang Yang, you take an elite team with you and be careful. In addition, we need to gather all combat forces to strengthen the defense of the base."

"Understood!" Wang Yang responded firmly.

Su Wan'er walked to Lin Xuan and whispered, "Lin Xuan, you must have been very tired during this period. Why don't you take a rest first? Leave the rest to us."

Lin Xuan shook his head: "Now is not the time to rest, I must take charge of the command myself. Wan'er, go and organize everyone to rest and recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

Su Wan'er nodded and turned to arrange rest and supplies for everyone.

As time went by, the defense of the base was gradually improved. Everyone was busy and nervous, preparing for the upcoming battle.

As night fell, Lin Xuan stood on the high platform of the base, overlooking the entire base. Despite the storm, he had a firm belief in his heart.

"No matter how many storms lie ahead, we will get through them," he murmured to himself, with a determined gleam in his eyes.

Suddenly, a hurried sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night. Zhao Linger ran over in a hurry, panting and saying, "Lin Xuan, it's bad. The reconnaissance team sent back a message that the enemy's main force is approaching. We don't have much time!"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately gave the order: "Everyone, prepare to fight! We must not let the enemy break through our defense line so easily!"

Under Lin Xuan's command, the entire base quickly entered combat mode, and everyone picked up their weapons, ready for a fierce battle.

As the enemy approached, the faint sound of footsteps and the noise of battle could be heard outside the base. Lin Xuan drew his sword, stood at the front line, and encouraged morale: "Brothers, today we must defend our homeland with our lives! No matter how powerful the enemy is, we must not retreat!"

"We will defend our homeland to the death!" Everyone shouted in unison, the sound shook the earth, full of strength and determination.

The battle horn sounded, and Lin Xuan rushed out first. Su Wan'er followed closely behind, waving her spear and guarding Lin Xuan. Li Hao, Zhao Ling'er, Wang Yang and others also joined the battle and engaged in a fierce fight with the enemy.

The enemy's offensive was as fierce as a tide, but Lin Xuan and others relied on their solid defense line and tenacious will to block their attack.

"Lin Xuan, be careful!" Su Wan'er suddenly exclaimed, and a cold light came towards Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan reacted quickly, dodged sideways, and at the same time, slashed the sneak attacking enemy with a backhanded sword.

"Thank you, Wan'er." Lin Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to fight bravely.

The battle lasted all night. At dawn, the enemy's offensive finally weakened and began to retreat. Lin Xuan led everyone in pursuit and completely defeated the enemy.

When the last enemy fell, Lin Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back at his companions with a relieved smile on his face: "We won."

Su Wan'er leaned on his shoulder tiredly and said softly: "Yes, we won. But this is just the beginning, there are more storms waiting for us ahead."

Lin Xuan nodded, his eyes full of expectations for the future and firm belief: "No matter how many storms there are ahead, we will go through them together."

On this stormy night, Lin Xuan and his companions used their courage and wisdom to once again protect their homeland and prepare for future battles.
