The Dragon Sword Heir
Episode 04: Investigating the enemy headquarters.

After the first victory, the fighting spirit of Li Tian's army was flaring up even more. They felt confident and confident that they could defend this village from enemy attacks.

Li Tian gathered his entire army at the center of the village to plan his next move. He realized that the enemy would definitely not just stand still after their first attack failed. They will definitely return with greater strength.

Li Tian decided to strengthen the defense of the village by building an even sturdier defensive wall. He ordered his troops to work hard to build the wall, while the villagers helped by providing them with their materials and energy.

In addition to strengthening the defensive walls, Li Tian also formed a night guard force consisting of selected fighters. Their job is to guard the village from enemy attacks at night, when other troops are resting.

For several weeks, this nameless village was busy with defense preparations. Li Tian's forces trained their defensive strength, honing their fighting skills and improving discipline.

Finally, the day the enemy troops returned to attack had arrived. However, among the enemy soldiers there was a giant human leading them.

Li Tian felt challenged by the courage and strength of the giant human. He then orders his soldiers to withstand enemy attacks, while he tries to fight the giant humans themselves.

The fight between Li Tian and the giant man was fierce. Li Tian's strength was indeed quite strong, but the giant human was bigger, stronger and fiercer. Li Tian was forced to use his mainstay moves to avoid the dangerous attacks of the giant humans.

However, after a while of fighting, Li Tian began to lose strength and stamina. In fact, he was almost overwhelmed by the backlash from those giant humans.

Li Tian faced the giant human himself to simply test the results of his training all along. However, Li Tian started to get cornered and finally decided to use something the Dragon had given him just in case of this kind of situation.

Li Tian took out the silver mask the Dragon gave him and immediately put on it. The mask gave him incredible strength and courage. In an instant, Li Tian turned into someone different, perhaps even stronger than that giant human.

With great confidence, Li Tian leaped into the air and banged his fist at full force towards the giant human. After a few blows, the giant human finally fell down.

Li Tian was both pleased and proud of his victory. He then took off his silver mask and returned to being his usual self.

Then, the remaining enemy troops immediately withdrew to retreat and fled. It seemed like this giant human was the strongest in their group. After the strongest one lost, the other members instantly collapsed their guts and chose to flee.

“Don't let them escape!" shouted a village youth named Zhang Zhen Wei.

“No, just let them go. We've already got some people here," Li Tian said.

Li Tian managed to capture some people from the enemy side and intended to interrogate them to obtain information. The rest, Li Tian requested that his troops improve, inspect the injured, and other things.

After ordering his troops to take care of his wounded comrades, Li Tian began interrogating the bandits he had captured. He uses various ways to get accurate information, but not all of them are willing to provide the information needed. Li Tian then took decisive action to those who were unwilling to provide information. Some of them Li Tian threatened to be given painful torture until they might be be begging to just end his life.

Shortly after, Li Tian obtained information on the location of the headquarters of the rebel forces disguised as bandits with his allies.

“Alright, it looks like we should check if this information is correct or not," Li Tian told his people.

Strenuously, Li Tian and his group of warriors trekked through the forest towards the hidden base of the rebel forces. They had to be careful not to be detected by those guarding around the headquarters.

After several hours of walking, they finally arrived at a camp made of supine tents and broken military equipment. Li Tian and his group carefully observed the surrounding situation, figuring out how to get inside the headquarters undetected.

After making observations, they found several small holes in the wooden fence surrounding the headquarters. His feelings said that something was not right and there was a possibility that the leader of the rebel forces already knew their plan.

"So you tried to infiltrate our headquarters,” said the man in a low but powerful voice.

Li Tian stared at the man sharply, unaffected by the tense circumstances around him. "We just want truth and justice,” he replied calmly.

The man in all-black clothes immediately ordered his men to finish off Li Tian and his group.

His five men, immediately stepped forward each armed with a knife. They stood in front of Li Tian and his group with hateful gazes and killing intent.

Li Tian looked at the black-clothed man with a sharp look. Despite being surrounded he did not look nervous or frightened. He rushed to gather the energy in his body and prepare himself to deal with the impending attack.

Without giving any pause, the black-clothed man immediately gestured to his men. With agile movements they shot towards Li Tian and his group at a shocking speed.

However, Li Tian was not intimidated. In an instant, his hand stretched out and grabbed the knife used by one of the men in black. With great strength, he twisted his body and threw the men towards his other companions.

This incident made the men dressed in black surprised. They did not realize how powerful Li Tian was. However, they knew they could not stay stuck in this state for too long. With a swift movement they again attacked Li Tian.

However, Li Tian had the advantage in strength and speed. With every attack made by the black-clothed men's men, Li Tian skillfully dodged and gave a deadly counterattack. He used a reliable martial technique, destroying the defense and breaking the bones of the enemy with a single blow.

A fierce fight took place with Li Tian and his group slowly gaining the upper hand. Nothing could stop Li Tian's strength and toughness. Every move and attack he made was full of deadly advantages.

After a few minutes, only two of the black-clothed men remained. Seeing the defeat of their friends, they went more and more berserk and attacked Li Tian more ferociously. However, Li Tian was not affected. He calmly dodged every attack and waited for an opportunity to fight back.

Finally with a single crushing attack carried out by Li Tian, the two black-clothed men fell helplessly to the ground. Fights ended.

Li Tian sighed in relief as the fight ended. He looked around him full of men lying on the ground. His face was still calm despite looking tired after the intense fight.

The man dressed in all black was shocked to see Li Tian's prowess. He sensed the strength and intelligence behind Li Tian's every move. However, he was a brave and fearless leader. In an instant, he drew his sword and slid forward to fight directly with Li Tian.

Their sword dance was fast, with every move dangerous and precise. Both of them were great swordsmen, they attacked each other and defended each other with incredible abilities. Sparks and sparks were seen all around them as their swords collided in a thrilling clash.

However, even though the all-black man displayed impressive abilities, Li Tian still had control over the battle. He was able to anticipate the man's every move and quickly found a gap in his defense.

Finally with a sharp and swift movement, Li Tian floated his sword with full force aiming right at the throat of the all-black man. The man managed to dodge the attack with an inch, but it gave Li Tian the opportunity to attack again.

Quickly, Li Tian charged forward and perfectly landed his final attack, finishing the battle with a stunning victory. The all-black man fell to the floor with blood gushing from his wound.

Li Tian walked forward and knelt beside the man's body looking at him sharply. "Now tell us the truth,” he said in a cold voice but full of justice.

The all-black man let out his last breath knowing that he had finally been defeated. With little strength left he said "You must learn for yourself that the world is full of lies and injustice."

Finally, Li Tian had no other information other than having to head for the next enemy base.

Seriate.
