The Dragon Sword Heir
Episode 03: Guiding the Villagers.

After confirming everything with the villagers, Li Tian went to the misty forest alone. He walked through the lush trees and thick fog. During the trip, he pondered, trying to understand what was happening to him.

The dragon cave was located in the middle of a thick forest and a thick fog enveloped every corner of it. Li Tian explored the forest carefully, following the directions given by the locals.

After walking for several hours, Li Tian finally found the entrance to the dragon cave. His cave was hidden behind lush trees and raindrops falling from the sky like dew.

Li Tian stepped in carefully, feeling the tension and nervousness welling up inside him. The rumbling sound from within the cave reminded him of the great power possessed by the dragon he was looking for.

“You came too, Li Tian?" said the Dragon.

Li Tian gulped his saliva as he looked at the dragon lying within the cave. This large, green creature had golden scales that shone under the moonlight, which penetrated through the cracks of cave rock.

“Yes I came to see you," Li Tian replied in a slightly trembling voice. “I came to ask for your help again.”

The dragon nodded slowly. "What can I do for you, man?"

“Do you know why I can cross into this world?" asked Li Tian.

The dragon gave a small snort implying his skepticism. "Not all excuses are revealed easily to man. However, I do believe that everything has its right time. Why are you asking this?"

Li Tian smiled a little nervously. "I heard that you have vast wisdom and knowledge. I'm hoping you can give me a clue or a deeper understanding of why I crossed over into this world."

The dragon pondered for a moment as if pondering at Li Tian's request. "You have to learn about patience, man. The world has many secrets that cannot be revealed quickly. You must learn to value time, process, and perseverance. Your ability to be patient and not give up is the key to finding the answer."

“Then can you help me learn about this world or just train me to get used to this body?" asked Li Tian.

“Alright,” replied The Dragon understood.

Over the course of several days, Li Tian finally learned about the energy in his body and strengthened it through meditation and special movements. The Dragon also taught Li Tian powerful martial techniques, including punches and kicks that utilized the Qi power accumulated in the body.

Li Tian was very excited in this learning process. Every day he practiced vigorously repeating the movements taught by the Dragon and trying to improve the quality of his Qi. He felt the energy in his body getting stronger and more restrained and his physical strength increased significantly.

But during this time, the Dragon also taught Li Tian about the importance of maintaining a balance between strength and wisdom. He reminds her not to use her powers recklessly or for evil purposes. "Great power must also be accompanied by great understanding,” said the Dragon. "Use your strength wisely and for the good of others."

Li Tian responded seriously. He feels responsible for the power he has developed and he is increasingly inspired to become someone who can protect others and destroy evil in this world.

After training for a few days with the Dragon, Li Tian decided to return to the nameless village.

“Alright, Dragon God, it looks like I should return to the village soon because the enemy side will definitely be on the move,” Li Tian said.

The Dragon God nodded understandingly. "Come up, Li Tian. I hope that your courage and strength will help the villagers face the dangers that lie there. Remember they need you."

After thanking the Dragon God, Li Tian continued on his way home to the nameless village. He ran at high speed using his ability to reach the village as quickly as possible. Each step was filled with courage and determination, given the important mission he had to undertake.

The villagers happily listened to Li Tian. They repaired the village fence and built higher and stronger walls.

“Everything is easier when working together,” said the village head named Li Yun Xin.

Furthermore, not only did Li Tian build up physical defenses, he also taught the villagers to improve their fighting abilities. He asked the farmers and merchants to form small groups and practice their fighting skills.

Together, Li Tian and the nameless villagers continued their fight. They trained themselves more vigorously, improved the defense of the village and worked together to deal with enemy attacks.

Li Tian became a source of inspiration for the villagers with his never giving up attitude. He taught them about fortitude and courage and raised their fighting spirit. Every morning, Li Tian led physical and martial training sessions to strengthen their unity.

They also use the village resources wisely. Practical materials such as wood, stone, and earth were used to strengthen their defensive fortifications. They arranged traps and barriers cleverly around the village to block the enemy. Li Tian showed his strategic skills and guided the villagers in planning an effective defense.

Not only, it was Li Tian also teaching the villagers about more advanced fighting tactics. He shared the knowledge of the martial techniques he learned from the Dragon and they diligently honed their skills in combat. Li Tian helped the villagers find the power and potential hidden within themselves.

“They're coming, Li Tian!” said one of his soldiers.

Enemy troops from other kingdoms who joined the imperial rebel group, again attacked the nameless village.

“Do not be afraid, we are ready to face it!” li Tian said.

Hearing the motivation and courage emanated from Li Tian's voice, the troops and the villagers felt their spirits burning again. They are aware that they are not alone in this battle and must work together to fight the rebel forces.

With his newfound spirit, Li Tian and his troops began to set up a strategy. They devised a plan to attack rebel forces from different sides in hopes of dividing the enemy forces. Li Tian assured them that with the right tactics and good cooperation, they would definitely succeed in expelling the rebel forces from their village.

The troops carried out intensive training and preparation before the inevitable battle. Li Tian led them with an example showing the superior combat skills he possessed. He provoked a fighting spirit in every member of his army and showed that nothing is impossible if they are united.

When the day of the battle arrived, the atmosphere in the village was tense. Rebel forces began to approach with a desire to capture the village and control the area. However, they did not realize that they would face a formidable and courageous resistance.

Li Tian with his head held high led his troops forward towards the enemy. They gradually managed to narrow the distance with the enemy, in order to provide a deadly counterattack. The relentless assault from Li Tian's forces left the rebel forces shocked and confused.

The villagers who were initially triggered to feel fear, regained their lost spirit. They joined the battle using all their abilities, to fight the rebel forces. The village was filled with an unstoppable spirit of struggle.

Seeing the formidable resistance of Li Tian's forces and the villagers, the rebel forces began to lose control. Those who were originally confident began to panic and were dissolved in chaos. Due to the confusion, the rebel forces began to retreat quickly.

The first battle ended in victory for Li Tian and his troops. The troops and villagers celebrating their victory expressed gratitude to Li Tian who had led them wisely. However, all of this was not over because the enemy would definitely come again.

Previously, they had delayed their plan to attack this nameless village thanks to his fear of the Dragon. However, seeing them start to attack again, they must have been prepared with all the risks and risked it all.

Seriate.
