After repelling the attack and stopping internal betrayal, Arin's group found a moment to breathe. But the calm was short-lived.
That night, another encrypted message arrived. This time, not from known enemies, but directly from the leader of the secret organization.
Arin read the message carefully:
"You have managed to stop my Shadow Wardens and mercenaries… but the real game has only begun. I see and analyze all your moves. Be prepared."
Lyra asked worriedly,
"So the true leader has now revealed himself… does this mean all previous schemes and attacks were just a prelude?"
Kai gripped his sword tightly,
"If he has predicted everything, then every step we take is under his scrutiny… and one mistake could be our end."
The Silent Sorceress raised her hands to the sky,
"This is the decisive moment. The leader of the organization is an enemy who tests not only your strength but your mind and tactics. To survive, you must anticipate everything beyond what you've thought possible."
Arin looked at the group and said firmly,
"This is no longer just war or betrayal… this is a game of strategy and intelligence. But we are ready. Every step, every move must be precise and united."
That night, the group spent hours analyzing tactics and preparing potential plans against the organization's leader. Now, the true enemy had revealed himself, and the real game had begun.
