The victory against the dark forces brought a fleeting moment of respite to the resistance. Yet, amid the relief, the council knew that their work was far from complete. The threat of darkness loomed large, casting a shadow over their hard-earned triumph. As they gathered in the war room, their expressions reflected a blend of determination and resolve.
Elara began the meeting, her voice steady and commanding. "We've achieved a significant victory, but we must remain vigilant. Our enemies will not rest, and neither can we. We need to fortify our defenses and prepare for any future threats."
Aiden nodded in agreement. "We should focus on gathering intelligence and strengthening our alliances. We've seen the power of the dark forces, and we need all the support we can get."
Roderic added, "We should also reach out to the neighboring kingdoms and secure their assistance. A united front is our best chance of standing against the darkness."
