"Who are you? Why are you helping us?" Wu Junyao asked coldly, still remaining highly alert.

“Help you?” The woman chuckled. “Are you sure this is helping you? Maybe I just think this situation is more interesting.”

"Your attitude will only arouse our fighting spirit." Li Feihong clenched the spear in his hand with a firm expression.

The woman said nothing more, but smiled slightly, then turned and left. Her back looked particularly mysterious in the gradually disappearing smoke.

"Jun Yao, what should we do next?" Jiang Yanwan stepped forward, her tone filled with anxiety.

"Let's stabilize our position first. An Lingxue's situation is still unclear, so we need support as soon as possible." Wu Junyao ordered decisively, "Yan Wan, take some people to support An Lingxue."

"Understood!" Jiang Yanwan nodded and quickly organized the team to march into the woods.

At the same time, in the forest, the battle between An Lingxue and the enemy leader had entered a fierce stage. Both of them exerted their full strength, but the enemy leader's strength was too strong, and An Lingxue gradually showed signs of exhaustion.

"Sister An, be careful!" a soldier shouted when he saw this.

An Lingxue gritted her teeth and refused to give in. She knew that her brothers and sisters were behind her and she had to hold this line of defense. However, the enemy leader suddenly increased his offensive and swept his axe across, bringing with him a gust of wind.

At the critical moment, a silver light suddenly flashed, and that light directly blocked the enemy leader's attack. An Lingxue's heart was shocked, and when she looked closely, it turned out that it was Jiang Yanwan who arrived in time.

"Sister, leave this to me!" Jiang Yanwan waved her sword and joined the battle.

"Yan Wan, you're here!" An Lingxue said gratefully.

"Don't relax, the enemy has not been completely defeated." Jiang Yanwan shouted loudly, commanding the soldiers to continue to resist tenaciously.

Passersby around started talking about it.

"Look, reinforcements are coming! We have hope." Passerby A said excitedly.

"It's really not easy, but this is what makes it interesting!" Passerby B seemed very interested.

"These people are really amazing. They are not afraid of death at all." Passerby C exclaimed.

"Yes, this spirit is indeed worth learning from." Passerby Ding deeply agrees.

With the addition of Jiang Yanwan, the battle situation gradually began to improve. Seeing that the main general could not gain the upper hand, the enemy's morale also seemed a little low. After breaking through the enemy's reinforcements, Wu Junyao and Li Feihong returned to the main battlefield, and their arrival also greatly boosted everyone's confidence.

"Jun Yao, victory is in sight!" Li Feihong's face was full of joy.

"No, we can't let our guard down." Wu Junyao said cautiously, "The enemy won't give in so easily."

Sure enough, at this moment, dense footsteps were heard again in the distance, and more enemy reinforcements were coming in an endless stream. Wu Junyao frowned, knowing that this would be a protracted battle.

"Everyone, get ready to fight!" Wu Junyao ordered loudly.

Just as the battle was about to break out again, the mysterious woman appeared again from a high place, watching everything with cold eyes. Suddenly, she raised her hand and released a bolt of lightning, which directly hit the enemy's central tent. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, and the enemy camp was in chaos.

"She strikes again!" Passerby Wu exclaimed.

"Whether he is an enemy or a friend is hard to tell." The passerby shook his head and sighed.

Wu Junyao did not let down his guard because of the woman's behavior. He said to Li Feihong: "This is a rare opportunity. We must take advantage of it to fight back!"

"Okay!" Li Feihong responded without hesitation and immediately led his troops to charge.

The battle became more and more intense, and the shouts of killing on the battlefield echoed in the sky. The soldiers tried their best and did not dare to slack off. Finally, under the leadership of the commanders, the enemy's defense line gradually collapsed and began to flee in all directions.

"We won!" a soldier cheered.

"Great, it was a tough battle." Another person breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Junyao slowly put down the sword in his hand, looked at the gradually calming battlefield, and said softly: "Everyone has worked hard."

"Jun Yao, you are so awesome!" Jiang Yanwan came over, eyes full of admiration.

"Can we go back and have a drink to celebrate?" Li Feihong smiled and patted Wu Junyao on the shoulder.

However, the mysterious woman stood in the distance, staring at them with deep eyes without saying a word. Her eyes flashed with complex light, as if hiding more secrets.

"What is she thinking about?" Passerby Geng asked puzzledly.

"Maybe she has other plans." Passerby Xin guessed.

At this moment, the mysterious woman finally spoke: "Wu Junyao, you know that your victory today is only temporary."

Wu Junyao was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her: "What do you mean?"

"This battle is just the beginning of a bigger storm. Are you ready?" The woman smiled slightly, as if she had already anticipated Wu Junyao's doubts.

Passersby around were talking about it again.

"What has she done again?" Passerby A looked at the woman, his face full of confusion.

"She speaks so mysteriously. What does she know?" Passerby B frowned and thought.

Wu Junyao responded calmly: "No matter what, we will do our best."

The mysterious woman nodded, then turned and disappeared into the night, leaving behind only an eerie silence. For a moment, everyone's heart was shrouded in a mist.

"Jun Yao, this person is not simple." Li Feihong patted Wu Jun Yao's shoulder, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"We can't take these words lightly." Wu Junyao thought, "Perhaps there is a greater crisis ahead."

In the distance came the sound of soldiers tidying up the battlefield; the atmosphere of victory was mixed with a hint of tension.

"I will investigate thoroughly. Her identity cannot remain a mystery forever." Jiang Yanwan said firmly.

At this moment, a new messenger came running in and panted, "Oh no! There is a disturbance in the city. I heard that the enemy spies have infiltrated!"

"What!" Wu Junyao immediately clenched his fists, "Let's go back quickly!"

The crowd did not dare to delay and quickly formed a team to return to the city. Passersby saw their actions and realized that the matter was not really over.

"Trouble again?" Passerby C looked worried.

"It looks like there's no end to it." Passerby Ding sighed.

As it grew dark, Wu Junyao and his team returned to the city gate. The guards waved in greeting when they saw them return.

"What's the situation?" Wu Junyao asked the captain of the guard.

"Someone spotted some suspicious people entering the market before, but the details are still unclear," the guard captain reported.

"Launch an investigation immediately, strengthen patrols, and don't let them take advantage of any opportunity." Wu Junyao gave the order decisively.

Just as everyone was busy arranging defenses, Li Feihong noticed that in a corner, a suspicious vendor was retreating stealthily.

"There's a problem over there!" Li Feihong gave an order, and several soldiers immediately chased after them. As expected, they found hidden weapons and letters from the vendors.

"What do you want to do!" The vendor struggled but was quickly subdued.

"It seems there really is a spy." Jiang Yanwan said coldly, "Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly."

"Things have finally made some progress." Wu Junyao looked around, and an atmosphere of vigilance permeated the entire city. He took a deep breath and felt the pressure on his shoulders getting heavier.

Just then, several familiar faces appeared. They were all merchants and civilians in the city. They all gathered around.

"General Wu, thank you for protecting our safety." A businessman said gratefully.

"If it weren't for you this time, the consequences would be disastrous." An old lady covered her chest with her hands, looking still in fear.

"Please rest assured, we will definitely protect this city." Wu Junyao solemnly promised.

Although the crisis has been temporarily resolved, everyone knows that a more uncertain future awaits them.

"Let's all go. Everyone is tired today." Li Feihong greeted everyone.

Night fell again, and the city seemed particularly quiet under the moonlight. However, from a window of a tall building, the mysterious woman overlooked the entire city with a meaningful smile on her lips.
