After a brief moment of catching his breath, Chen Rui calmly analyzed the current situation, realizing that the Alliance was at its most critical juncture. He understood that the Old Troops' retreat was only temporary, and their next offensive would be even more ferocious.
"We can no longer remain on the defensive; we must take the initiative and strike a decisive blow against the enemy!" Chen Rui proposed decisively, a glint of determination in his eyes.
Eileen and Zhao Yunshan exchanged glances, and after a moment of silence, they both nodded in agreement. The Alliance Warriors quickly assembled, preparing to launch a surprise attack before the enemy could regroup. They set off from the flanks, moving swiftly through the alleys to avoid the enemy's front lines and infiltrate the command center of the Old Troops.
After days of fierce fighting, the Old Troops were exhausted and unprepared for the Alliance's sudden assault. Chen Rui led his squad like ghosts into the enemy camp, swiftly destroying command vehicles and communication equipment. The enemy command fell into chaos, and without leadership, the soldiers gradually lost formation and began to retreat in disorder.
Seizing the opportunity, the Alliance Warriors launched a full-scale attack, plunging the battlefield into chaos. The Old Troops were pushed back relentlessly, gradually losing their fighting spirit. Civilians also joined the Alliance forces, picking up makeshift weapons to support the battle spontaneously. Shouts of defiance echoed through the streets as they bravely charged at the enemy, expressing their yearning for freedom.
The fierce battle continued deep into the night, with the Old Troops nearly being completely routed. The enemy was forced to retreat, and peace gradually returned to the Special Zone. Exhausted warriors collapsed onto the ground, many wounded, yet every face bore a smile of victory.
In the aftermath of their triumph, the Alliance Warriors dragged their weary bodies back to headquarters. Chen Rui and Eileen stood atop a high point in the Special Zone, overlooking the land that had just endured such a brutal ordeal. The night sky sparkled with stars, as if sending rays of hope to this land that had suffered so much.
"We won," Eileen whispered, her tone filled with deep relief and emotion.
Chen Rui nodded; although he knew victory had come at a great cost, many challenges still lay ahead. He understood that rebuilding the Special Zone, resettling its people, and establishing a new order would require relentless effort from the Alliance.
Soon after, news of victory was announced throughout the Special Zone, plunging it into cheers and celebrations. Civilians gathered spontaneously in the streets, lighting simple fireworks to celebrate the end of oppressive rule. As they watched the fireworks burst in the sky, it felt as though they had finally welcomed back long-awaited light and freedom.
However, in a shadowy corner beneath the night sky, a pair of cold eyes watched over the celebrating crowd. It belonged to a surviving high-ranking member of the Old Hand who had witnessed the fall of the Special Zone; anger flickered in his gaze. He turned away and vanished into the darkness.
Though this battle had reached a temporary conclusion, the Alliance knew that countless challenges still awaited them in the Special Zone. Amidst the ruins of war, while shadows may have receded for now, establishing a new order and facing upcoming trials was only just beginning.
