Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

"You have grown into an outstanding warrior, Fike." Su Ye smiled, and her heart lamp seemed to flicker more brightly with her mood. "We have been through so much together, and we have seen your changes."

"Yes, from strangers to teammates fighting side by side, and then to indispensable parts of each other's lives." Aiden nodded in agreement, with the sword beside him. At this moment, he was less sharp and more gentle. "This journey has taught us a lot, especially the power of unity."

Chaos' flute sounded again, this time it was no longer a passionate battle song, but a gentle and melodious tune, which seemed to be telling every bit of their journey. The melody was full of memories and hope.

Just as they were immersed in this rare tranquility, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted the peace. A ragged messenger ran up to them breathlessly, and when he looked up and saw the four heroes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Please, great explorers! Our village is being attacked by unknown creatures. Those creatures come from the dark land and our warriors can't resist them. Please help us!" The messenger's voice trembled and his eyes were full of pleading.

The four of them looked at each other and had already made the decision without saying anything.

"Lead the way, we will do our best to help you." Aiden stood up, sword in hand, ready to fight at any time.

"It seems that the rest time will have to be postponed." Chaos put away the flute and a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"No matter when or where, as long as there is light, we are there." The light of Su Ye's heart lamp became brighter, illuminating the road on which he was about to embark.

The new traveler Fike stood up. The new strength he gained made him full of confidence. "Yes, we are the messengers of light. The darkness cannot stop us."

"Let's go. Time waits for no one. Every moment of delay may mean the loss of more innocent lives." Aiden strode forward. His determination not only inspired the messenger, but also invigorated the air around him.

The messenger led them through the dense forest. The trees along the way seemed to be whispering about their arrival. The wind blew through the treetops, bringing encouragement from nature. The villagers they occasionally met on the road all looked at the foursome with surprise and hope.

"It's them! I heard that they uncovered the secrets of the world and gained mysterious powers!" A child pointed at them, his eyes wide open and his face full of admiration.

"I can't believe that the legendary hero appeared at the entrance of our village!" The auntie next to her covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief.

As they approached the village, the air began to fill with tension and fear. Not far away, thick smoke billowed, and from time to time, the roar of battle and desperate cries for help penetrated the noise and struck people's hearts.

"Look! They are dark creatures, their number is beyond imagination!" Chaos pointed forward, frowning. A group of distorted, dark-skinned monsters were besieging the village's defenses. Although the villagers fought bravely, they were clearly at a disadvantage.

The new traveler Fike observed the battle situation solemnly, and suddenly he had an idea, "We need to distract their attention and divert some of them to reduce the pressure on the defense line. Aiden, your swordsmanship is most suitable for head-on confrontation; Suye, your heart lamp can guide and protect the retreating villagers; Chaos, use your music to boost morale, and I will plan the action."

"Good plan, Fike, you are becoming more and more like a leader." Aiden nodded appreciatively.

They acted separately according to the plan. Aiden rushed into the battlefield, the sword light swept like a tornado, and the dark creatures fell one after another wherever he went. His bravery won waves of admiration.

"Look, that warrior, his sword is like the light of justice, how amazing!" a child hiding in the corner said excitedly.

Su Ye shuttled among the panicked crowd. The soft light emitted by her heart lamp provided a safe shelter for the fleeing villagers. Her figure became tall and warm in the eyes of everyone.

"It's that sister. The lamp in her heart is more beautiful than the brightest star in the night sky!" A little girl held her mother's hand, her eyes full of longing.

Chaos stood on the high ground, and the sound of the flute rang out again, this time it was a passionate melody, like a war song, inspiring every tired warrior to regain the will to fight, and even the most timid hearts were ignited.

"Listen! That's the battle horn, a sign of our victory!" An elderly soldier wiped the blood off his face and his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

The new traveler Fike cleverly used the hidden terrain to set traps and guide some dark creatures into the predetermined ambush area. His wit and calmness gradually turned the seemingly one-sided battle around.

After a fierce battle, as the last wailing sound disappeared, the village returned to a brief tranquility. The four men reunited, their clothes covered in dust, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory.

"You...you are really our guardian angels!" The messenger ran over, almost bursting into tears. The villagers also began to gather around, and their grateful eyes overwhelmed them like a tide.

"No, we just did what we should do. Remember, light is in everyone's heart. As long as you believe firmly, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome." The words of the new traveler Fick were like warm sunshine, shining into everyone's heart.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, and a faint voice seemed to be heard in the air: "The real challenge has just begun, guardians of light, get ready to face a more difficult mission."

Everyone looked at each other, nervous about the unknown future, but also full of anticipation for the unknown adventure. Aiden clapped his hands and said firmly: "No matter what the future holds, as long as the four of us are here, the light will never go out."

"That's right, let us move forward hand in hand until the end of time." Chaos, Su Ye and the new traveler Fike responded one after another, with the same determination and courage flashing in their eyes.

As the sun sets, their shadows are stretched out and they set off on the journey to their next destination. All around them is a rekindled light of hope and countless expectant and blessing eyes.

"Hey, have you heard? Those travelers have done something big again!" In the village tavern, two farmers raised their glasses and talked.

"Yeah, I heard that even the monsters in the dark land were dealt with by them. It's simply a miracle!" Another one put down the beer in his hand, his eyes flashing with longing.

"What's a miracle? That's our patron saint! A warrior with a sword, a healer with a bright heart, and a flute player who can inspire people with music. Plus the new guy, who is said to be very smart, they work together perfectly!" The third person interrupted, full of pride. "The new guy, I think his name is Fike, right? I heard he was an ordinary person before, but now he's a completely different person. Destiny is really magical." The first person exclaimed.

Their conversation was overheard by a traveling merchant not far away. He came over with great interest and said, "Hey, fellows, you are chatting so animatedly. Are you talking about the four heroes who have become famous recently? I came from the south and have heard many stories about them. It is said that they spread light and fought against evil in various towns, and have become legends in many people's hearts."

“Legend? More than that, he’s simply a mythical being! Our village is blessed in our past life to have such a guardian.” The farmer waved the cup in his hand excitedly, almost spilling the wine.

The merchant showed a thoughtful expression on his face. "Interesting, very interesting. If they are really as powerful as the legend says, perhaps... they can solve the problem that has troubled our caravan for a long time."

"Problem? What kind of problem?" the curious farmers immediately asked.

The merchant lowered his voice, as if sharing a great secret: "You may not know that deep in the Mist Forest in the north, there is an ancient secret. It is said that there is a door leading to endless treasures, but it is also the lair of evil forces. Over the years, countless people have tried to explore, but no one has come back alive. If we can get the help of those heroes..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the tavern was gently pushed open, and a cool breeze blew in, interrupting everyone's conversation. Four familiar faces appeared at the door, and the conversation in the tavern died down instantly, and all eyes were focused on them.

Aiden smiled slightly, looked around, and then walked straight to the table where the businessman was sitting. "It seems that we have come at the right time. I think you heard an interesting story just now? Tell me, what problem do you need our help with?"

The merchant was stunned at first, but then his eyes lit up. He quickly stood up, invited them to sit down at the table, and began to describe in detail the legend of the Mist Forest in the north and the difficulties faced by their caravan.

"Victory in the Dark Land is just the beginning. If what you said is true, then fighting against the evil forces in the north will be our next step." Chaos' eyes revealed excitement and anticipation. Obviously, the new challenge made him eager to try.

Su Ye gently stroked the heart lamp, which emitted a warm and peaceful light at this moment: "No matter how far the road is, as long as it is for the light, we will move forward."

The new traveler Fike looked around at the expectant faces around him and said firmly: "Let's go, not only to solve your problems, but also to uncover the truth behind the ancient secret."

"Yes, there is more light waiting for us to illuminate." Aiden raised his fist, and the other three bumped fists one by one. The tacit understanding and strength among the team were undoubtedly demonstrated in this simple action.

The businessman was excited by their decision. "That's great! With your help, I believe we can succeed this time. Without further ado, we can prepare to set off immediately."

"But before we set off, we need more intelligence," Chaos reminded, his flute tapping lightly on the table, making a crisp sound. "We need to know more about the secrets and dangers of the Mist Forest, so as not to act blindly."

"I'll arrange it." The merchant nodded, and then asked the waiter to fetch some parchment and pen and ink, and quickly drew a rough map, marking the forest information they knew so far and the key locations in the legend. "From what I know, there is an ancient and secret river hidden in the forest, which is the key to the treasure, but the riverbank is full of illusions and traps, and countless people have lost themselves in it."

"Illusions and traps?" Su Ye chuckled, the heart lamp spinning in his palm, as if thinking about how to use light to break the fog of darkness, "This sounds like our specialty."

"Besides, we also have the wisdom of new members. Fike, what do you think?" Aiden turned his eyes to the new travelers with full trust.

Fike pondered for a moment, a cunning light flashing in his eyes: "Since there is a river, there must be a pattern to follow. What we have to do is to find that pattern, or create one."

"Ha, I just like this way of solving problems!" Chaos clapped his hands in approval, and then played a short and powerful melody, as if warming up for the upcoming adventure.

The people in the tavern were in an uproar again. They talked a lot and were full of expectations and fantasies about the new journey of these four heroes.

"They are going to fight against the real darkness!" one of the farmers whispered in awe.

"If the door to the treasure can really be opened, our village will also benefit from it, right?" another asked hopefully.

The businessman smiled mysteriously: "Of course, wherever the messenger of light goes, there is hope. However, what is more important is their belief in protecting the light."

Amid the discussion, Aiden stood up and patted the merchant on the shoulder: "Get your caravan ready. We will meet at the old post in the north in three days. Before that, we have some personal matters to deal with."

"Don't worry, everything will be ready." The merchant assured, watching the four people leave the tavern. Their backs were stretched out in the setting sun, as if foreshadowing that a long and glorious journey was about to begin.

Outside the door, a cool breeze blew, bringing the whispers of the distant forest. The new traveler Fike stopped and looked back at the people in the tavern. The eagerness and trust in their eyes were like burning fire, inspiring him.

"We are not only fighting for ourselves, but also for those eyes that are looking forward to light." He whispered, his tone full of desire and responsibility for future challenges.

"That's right," Aiden echoed, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as there are people who need light, we will not stop."

Su Ye and Chaos smiled at each other. The heart lamp and the sound of the flute seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding in silence. They are the lighthouses of the team. No matter how long the night is, it cannot stop the progress of light.

"Let's go, friends. We still have a lot of preparation to do." Aiden led the way out of the tavern, followed by the other three. Their steps were firm and powerful, and every step seemed to announce to the world: the guardian of light is ready to meet all challenges.

On the path in the village, several children were chasing and playing. When they saw them coming, they immediately gathered around them, their eyes full of admiration: "Warriors, are you really going to defeat the monster and bring us the treasure?" (End of this chapter)
