Chapter 154 Fame
At dusk, the lights come on, and the bustling streets seem shrouded in a shimmering veil. Streets and alleys are lined with shops, each ablaze with lights. The luminous lights, combined with the vibrant sunset glow, create a dreamlike atmosphere. The aroma of food permeates the air, while the sounds of laughter, shouts, and bargaining blend together to create a symphony imbued with the essence of life.
In a bustling tavern, a variety of diners sat around several tables, some of them were travelers on the go, some were local regulars, all immersed in the relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
"I heard that the women's advance team has achieved great success again, killing countless enemies on the battlefield. Women are truly as brave as men!" A young scholar put down his wine glass, his eyes gleaming with admiration, and said excitedly. His face flushed slightly with excitement, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
"Yes, they are truly heroes of our country!" An old man nearby stroked his beard and nodded frequently. His weather-beaten face was full of traces of time, but at this moment, a smile of satisfaction and pride filled his face.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly rang out. "Hmph, what heroes! I think they're just women who rely on luck and trickery to gain fame." A man in fancy clothes but with a gloomy look sitting in the corner laughed coldly. His voice was quiet, but it carried a disgusting sharpness.
"Don't talk nonsense like that! The achievements of the women's advance team are obvious to all." The scholar turned his head angrily and looked directly at the man, his brows furrowed and his eyes burning with anger.
"That's right. They fought bravely on the battlefield and defended our homeland. How can you slander them like this!" The old man also stood up excitedly, pointing at the man with trembling fingers, his voice becoming a little hoarse with anger.
The man, however, didn't take it seriously. He raised his head, a sneer of disdain playing on his lips, and continued to speak wildly, "Perhaps they are exaggerating to win credit. Besides, it's against the rules for women to go to the battlefield. Since ancient times, how could women lead the charge? They are just trying to be different and attract attention."
His words were like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. The people around him turned their heads, their eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
"You are talking nonsense! The heroic performance of the women's advance team on the battlefield is real. They fought for their country and the people regardless of their lives. How can you slander them like this?" A burly man shouted loudly, his fists clenched tightly, as if he would swing at the man at any time.
"That's right, you're just jealous of their achievements!" A young woman also stood up, her face full of anger. "The sisters of the Women's Advance Team have proven their worth with their actions. They are our pride!"
The man showed no sign of restraining himself, instead spreading rumors even more recklessly: "I heard they were so frightened on the battlefield that their legs went limp. If it weren't for the male soldiers' support, they would have been defeated by the enemy long ago."
These rumors quickly spread through the streets, spreading like a plague. Some people, unaware of the truth, began to doubt and misunderstand the women's advance team. Their once admiring gazes were now filled with a hint of doubt and hesitation.
At this time, the women's advance team received a new and difficult task. It turned out that a group of vicious bandits were burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities in the nearby villages, and the people were living in dire straits.
The atmosphere in the women's advance team's camp was tense and serious. Team leader A Yao stood at the front of the team, her gaze firm and sharp, her voice steady and powerful: "Sisters, we have a new mission. Those bandits are killing our people. We must act immediately, bring them to justice, and protect our compatriots!"
The team members responded in unison, their voices full of determination and courage.
Xiaofang gripped the spear tightly in her hand, her eyes burning with anger: "This time we must let those bandits know how powerful we are!"
Xiao Min arranged her bow and arrow, gritting her teeth and saying, "We must not let them go!"
The advance team rushed to the front without hesitation. Along the way, the team members were extremely anxious, and they couldn't wait to fly to the village and wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop.
When they arrived at the village, the scene before them was shocking: houses were burned, smoke billowing, villagers were fleeing in all directions, crying and shouting, and bandits were rampaging, their weapons stained with blood.
"Sisters, follow me!" A-Yao shouted, charging at the bandits first. With a longsword in hand, she darted through the enemy group like a flash of lightning. In the blink of an eye, the enemies fell one after another.
Although Xiaofang's injuries had not yet healed, she still gritted her teeth and fought bravely. Her spear was like a dragon, and every thrust brought immense power, making the enemy tremble in fear.
Xiao Min, relying on her excellent archery skills, stood at a distance and accurately shot down the bandits one by one. Her eyes were focused and calm, and the bowstring in her hand trembled constantly, and her arrows never missed their targets.
In the fierce battle, the members of the advance team showed no fear and displayed unparalleled bravery and tenacity. They worked closely together and supported each other, as if they were an inseparable whole.
A robber took advantage of the chaos and rushed towards A Yao, trying to attack him by surprise. At this critical moment, Xiao Fang arrived in time and shot the robber away.
"Be careful!" Xiao Min reminded her teammates loudly, and at the same time shot another arrow, hitting an enemy who was about to attack Xiaofang.
After a desperate fight, the women's advance team finally repelled the robbers and rescued many kidnapped civilians.
The villagers gathered around, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
"Thank you, you are our saviors!" An old man burst into tears and his hand trembled as he held A Yao's hand.
"If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do." A young mother hugged her child and burst into tears.
When they returned to the streets with the news of their victory, people cheered and the streets were crowded with people waving flowers and colorful flags to pay tribute to the women's advance team.
Those who had believed the rumors now lowered their heads in shame.
"It turns out we misunderstood them. They are the real heroes!" someone shouted, his voice full of regret and self-blame.
"Yes, they proved their bravery and loyalty with their actions!" Everyone echoed, and the applause and cheers were thunderous.
From then on, the Women's Advance Team's fame spread far and wide, becoming idols and role models. Wherever they went, they were admired and loved by the people. Their stories were passed down, inspiring generations to fight for justice and dignity.
