At dawn, Leia, Sylas, Aiven, and Minah returned to the camp, their figures appearing particularly mysterious in the morning mist. The four of them sat around the campfire, their faces showing signs of exhaustion from a night of battle, but their eyes gleaming with determination.
Leia tightened her cloak and broke the silence: "We must find a way to expose Darien's conspiracy and reveal his true face to everyone."
Sylas nodded in agreement, his voice deep and powerful: "Indeed, with just the four of us, it's difficult to eliminate the threat of Darien. We need a plan, one that can expose his scheme and win the support of the people."
Evan tightened his grip on the sword hilt, his gaze determined: "We should bring Darien to justice with irrefutable evidence."
Minah gently twirled the wand in her hand, pondering, "We need a suitable occasion, one that will allow our voices to reach every corner."
Leia's eyes lit up, "Soon, there will be a grand gathering of all the tribes, which will be an excellent opportunity. There, we can expose Darien's crimes to everyone."
Sylas Slightly furrowing his brow, he revealed a hint of scheming in his eyes: "This idea is good, but we need solid evidence and a carefully planned statement. Any mistake could lead to the failure of the plan."
Evan patted his chest confidently: "As long as there is solid evidence, I believe that justice will ultimately prevail over evil."
Minah is even more cautious: "We still need to consider Darien's possible counterattack. He will never sit idly by."
Leia stood up, her eyes burning with passionate fire: "Then let's start taking action! We will gather evidence, plan our statements, and prepare for any possible actions from Darien."
Sylas also stood up, his figure appearing particularly tall in the morning light: "I will contact the allies within the dragon clan to seek more support. We need all possible strength."
In the following days, the four of them acted separately, each taking on different tasks in the plan. Leia and Aiven went deep into various places to gather evidence of Darien's crimes, while Minah was responsible for researching and preparing the content for the public statement. Sylas flew over the mountains to communicate closely with the old allies in the dragon clan, seeking their support at the gathering.
On that overcast afternoon, Leia and Evan walked through the narrow alleys of the small town. Their destination was a little-known shop that dealt in various ancient items and rare herbs. According to their information, the shop's owner, a weathered merchant, might hold the secret of Darien.
As they stepped into the shop filled with all sorts of antiques, a strong scent of spices filled the air. The old merchant was sitting behind the counter, gently flipping through a yellowed book with his calloused fingers.
Leia didn't beat around the bush: "Old man, we've heard that you might know something about Darien. We need your help."
The old merchant looked up and scrutinized Leia and Aven with his eyes full of wrinkles, seemingly assessing their credibility. Aven stood behind Leia, his gaze calm and determined, showing his readiness to protect Leia at any moment.
After a moment of silence, the old merchant finally spoke: "The things I know might bring me trouble. Can you guarantee my safety?"
Evan replied softly, "We will protect you. No threat will come near you."
Being moved by Evan's assurance and Leia's sincerity, the old merchant took out a tattered document from a worn-out wooden box and handed it to Leia. "This is the evidence that Darien used to blackmail me years ago. He used dark magic to control my will and forced me to do things for him."
Leia took the document, a flash of anger in her eyes. She held the document tightly and said firmly, "We will use this document to expose Darien's crimes and will never let him escape justice."
Just as they were about to leave, there was suddenly a commotion outside the shop, and several people in black rushed in, obviously sent by Darien.
Evan quickly stood in front of Leia and the old merchant, drawing his twin swords. Leia also tightened her grip on her long sword, ready to fight.
The battle was about to begin, and Evan's swordsmanship was solid and efficient, hitting the target precisely with every swing. Leia, on the other hand, maneuvered swiftly and agilely among the enemies, her sword tip acting like the reaper of death, swiftly dispatching one opponent after another.
Under Leia and Evan's outstanding combat skills, the black-clothed men were quickly defeated. The old merchant witnessed it all, his eyes filled with admiration.
Leia turned to the old merchant and said with a smile, "Now you can rest assured, Darien's men have been taken care of by us."
Aiven quietly sheathed his sword, his expression still calm, but from their brief eye contact, Leia could feel his trust and support for her.
After the unexpected battle, Leia and Evan left the town with important documents and began their journey back to the camp.
Meanwhile, Minah discovered an ancient magic during her research, which could present memories in the form of light and shadow. She believed that presenting the collected evidence in this way at the gathering would have an unparalleled impact.
Sylas's journey is full of challenges. Not only does he have to persuade his old friends in the Dragon clan, but he also has to be wary of Darien's spies. But with his wisdom, Sylas ultimately wins the support of many Dragon clan leaders, who promise to stand on the side of justice at the gathering.
When everything is ready, Leia, Sylas, Aven, and Minah finalize the ultimate plan at a secret meeting in the camp. This will be a battle for the future, and every detail must be flawless.
The core of the plan is to publicly expose Darien's crimes at the gathering and call on leaders and people of all ethnic groups to stand together against this dark threat. In order to achieve maximum impact, they have decided to use the magic discovered by Minah to present the collected evidence in the most straightforward way to everyone.
As the gathering day approaches, the four people's feelings become increasingly tense.
On the day of the assembly, representatives from various places gathered on a wide square that had already been decorated extravagantly. Every person who arrived could feel the importance of this gathering.
Leia, Sylas, Evan, and Minah stood in the crowd, their eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, searching for the figure of Darien. They knew that this cunning enemy would definitely try to sabotage their plans.
As the assembly began, leaders of various ethnic groups took turns to deliver speeches, expressing their desire for peace and their hopes for the future. The crises hidden behind these speeches are far more serious than they appear on the surface.
Finally, it was Leia and Sylas's turn to speak. Leia took the stage first, her voice resounding and powerful, every word filled with determination: "Today, we stand here not only to celebrate peace, but also to expose a conspiracy, a threat to all of us."
As Leia's voice fell, Minah began to cast her magic, and one by one, images appeared in the air vividly depicting Darien's crimes. People looked on in astonishment as the evidence unfolded, many showing expressions of anger and disbelief.
Sylas stepped forward, his voice calm and resolute: "These are irrefutable evidence showing Darien's greed and destruction upon this land. We cannot stand idly by; we must unite and fight against this evil force together."
Just as Leia and Sylas's speeches reached a climax, a discordant voice suddenly cut in: "This is all a slander!" Darien's figure suddenly appeared in the crowd, a cold smile on his face and a challenging look in his eyes.
Sylas and Leia exchanged a glance, and almost simultaneously, they quickly rushed towards Darien, ready to capture him on the spot. But Darien clearly had been prepared, and his henchmen immediately launched a counterattack, sparking a melee at the gathering.
Evan and Minah quickly joined the battle, fighting alongside Leia and Sylas against Darien's henchmen. In the midst of the battle, each of them displayed extraordinary courage and strength, but they knew that the key was to capture Darien and put an end to all this evil.
Just as the battle reached its climax, Leia saw an opportunity and charged towards Darien with all her might, wielding her longsword. Sylas also noticed this opportunity and unleashed powerful magic to help Leia open the path to Darien.
In front of everyone's eyes, Leia's sword finally reached Darien, but at that moment, a powerful surge of dark energy erupted from Darien, forming a massive energy vortex that swallowed Leia and Sylas.
A gasp erupted from the crowd as Aiden and Minah rushed towards the energy vortex, attempting to rescue Leia and Sylas. However, the vortex's power was too overwhelming, and they could barely get close.
At this critical moment, a golden light descended from the sky and shot straight into the energy vortex. The powerful force brought by this light instantly dispersed the darkness, rescuing Leia and Sylas from the vortex.
As everything settled down, people were astonished to discover that the ones who rescued Leia and Sylas were the elders of the dragon clan. They arrived just in time, unleashed powerful magic, and saved Leia and Sylas's lives. Meanwhile, Darien took the opportunity to escape and is currently nowhere to be found.
After the gathering ended, people gradually left. Leia, Sylas, Aven, and Minah also understood that although this battle had ended, the mission to protect this land had just begun.
