Chapter 13 Turning Point

William Davis patiently waited for the Earth Defense Alliance's final decision. He stood quietly on the observation deck of the base, looking into the distance with deep eyes, and his mind was full of thoughts. He knew that his plan was too bold, even a little crazy, and would inevitably cause huge controversy. It was a gamble, a gamble on the future of the earth and the lives of countless people.

Three days later, General Matthew Cooper finally brought the news. He walked with heavy steps, his face was tired, and every wrinkle seemed to tell the great pressure he had been under in the past few days.

"The High Command agreed to your plan," General Matthew Cooper said with a hint of fatigue in his tone, "but they also put forward a condition that you must gain the support of the resistance forces and provide more intelligence about the defense of the Star Alliance's home planet."

"This is impossible!" Before William Davis could say anything, the officer in charge of contacting the resistance forces shouted. His face was full of shock and anger, as if he had heard an absurd joke. "The resistance forces have been hiding and their whereabouts are uncertain. It is impossible to reach an agreement with them!"

"No, it's not impossible." Emily Wilson, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Her eyes flashed with wisdom, as if she saw a glimmer of hope. "I have a way to contact them, but it requires a little risk."

Under Emily Wilson's arrangement, William Davis and David Clark secretly sneaked into an abandoned underground city. This city was once a prosperous city, but now only ruins remain, filled with a decaying atmosphere. They carefully shuttled through the dark passages, and every step was full of danger.

After a series of thrilling twists and turns, they finally met the leader of the resistance - a one-eyed old man named Eric. Eric sat on a worn-out chair, his eyes revealing the vicissitudes of life and firm beliefs. His one eye flashed with a sharp light, as if he could see through everything.

After listening to William Davis' plan, Eric was silent for a long time. The whole room was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if time had frozen. Finally, he slowly said: "Your plan is crazy, but it is not impossible. We can provide detailed information about the home planet of the Interstellar Alliance, and even a secret passage that can directly reach their core area. However, we need your promise that once successful, you must guarantee the freedom and independence of the Earth, and give the resistance forces the respect and status they deserve."

William Davis agreed to Eric's terms without hesitation. He knew that this was their only chance. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if assuring Eric that he would protect this promise with his life.

After returning to the base, Emily Wilson began to work out a more detailed battle plan based on the intelligence provided by Eric. Her fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, her eyes full of concentration and seriousness. Every detail was carefully considered, and every step was full of risks and challenges.

David Clark volunteered to lead an elite team to investigate the secret passage leading to the home planet of the Interstellar Alliance. His eyes were full of courage and determination, as if announcing to everyone that he would not let them down.

However, David Clark's team never returned, and there was no news. The base was filled with tension and worry, and everyone silently prayed for their safe return.

"How could this happen?" William Davis paced back and forth anxiously, his heart full of anxiety. His steps were heavy and rapid, as if telling of his inner anxiety. "What on earth did David Clark and the others encounter?"

Just when everyone was at a loss, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the base.

"David Clark?!" William Davis rushed to the door and held David Clark's shaky body. His heart was filled with surprise and worry, as if he had experienced two extremes in an instant. David Clark was wounded in many places, and his clothes were tattered, as if he had been through a fierce battle. Every wound seemed to tell of his bravery and tenacity.

"How are you? How are the others?" Emily Wilson asked anxiously while checking David Clark's injuries. Her eyes were full of concern and heartache, as if she was taking care of her own relatives.

David Clark took a deep breath and tried to calm his breathing. His breathing was rapid and heavy, as if every breath required great effort. He spoke incoherently: "We found the secret passage, but... we were ambushed. The enemy was well prepared, and the other brothers... all died..."

At this point, David Clark's eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails dug deep into his flesh. His heart was filled with pain and anger, as if he was blaming himself for the sacrifice of his brothers. William Davis patted his shoulder without saying anything, but his eyes were full of sadness and anger. He knew that this was the cruelty of war, and every step forward would cost blood.

"Fortunately... I completed the mission..." David Clark took out a metal box from his arms and handed it to William Davis carefully. His eyes were full of expectation and hope, as if he was conveying a kind of power to William Davis. "This is... This is something I snatched from the enemy, a piece of equipment that can enhance superpowers, which should be helpful to your plan..."

William Davis took the box, and the heavy weight warmed his heart. He knew that this was the hope bought with the lives of his comrades, and he was more determined to complete the mission. He held the box tightly, as if holding everyone's hope.

"You take a good rest first, and leave the rest to us." William Davis handed David Clark to the medical staff and called all the people involved in this mission. In the spacious conference room, the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone's face was full of determination. William Davis looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I know this mission is very dangerous, but it is our only hope. We must succeed for the earth and for all the people who are still alive!"

"I have re-formulated the battle plan based on the intelligence David Clark brought back. We will divide the troops into two groups. One group will be led by me, responsible for attracting the enemy's attention and buying time for the main force; the other group will be commanded by Emily Wilson, sneaking into the home planet of the Interstellar Alliance and destroying their defense system." William Davis paused, and looked at everyone with a firm gaze, "I know you are all the best fighters. I believe in you, and I believe that we can achieve the final victory!"

"For the Earth!"

"For freedom!"

A deafening roar rang out in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were burning with fire. It was an indomitable spirit and a determination to fight for justice.

In the next few days, William Davis personally selected an elite force, including Alliance members and volunteers from the resistance. They are all battle-hardened elites with strong strength and firm beliefs. Each of them has undergone rigorous training and screening. They are the guardians of the earth and the hope of mankind.

On the eve of departure, all members gathered in the square, waiting for the final order. William Davis stood on the high platform, looking at the determined faces in front of him, and a surge of ambition surged in his heart. He knew that success or failure depended on this one move, and he had to lead this team to create a miracle!

He took a deep breath and prepared to speak... William Davis took a deep breath, his eyes swept across the determined faces in the square, and a surge of ambition surged in his heart. He knew that success or failure depended on this one move, and he had to lead this team to create a miracle!

"Friends!" William Davis' voice resounded throughout the square like a loud bell. "We are all warriors. To protect our homeland and the future of mankind, we stand here without hesitation! We were once confused and desperate, but we never gave up hope! Today, we have finally waited for this opportunity, an opportunity to change our destiny!"

"The tyranny of the Interstellar Alliance and the greed of the alien invaders have caused us to lose our homes and loved ones, but they can never take away our will, our courage, and our desire for freedom!" William Davis clenched his fists and raised them above his head, "We are the last hope of the earth. We carry the expectations of everyone. We cannot fail and we will never fail!"

"We will use our blood and lives to fight for freedom, fight for the future, and fight for humanity!" William Davis' voice became louder and louder, like a flash of lightning that pierced the gloomy sky, igniting the fire of hope in everyone's heart.

"For the future!"

"For humanity!"

A deafening roar rang out in the square, and everyone's blood was boiling and their fighting spirit was high. They knew that this was a battle with no way out, but they were fearless because they were full of the belief that they would win!

As night fell and the stars dimmed, William Davis led the team to the entrance of the secret passage. This passage was opened by the rebels at the risk of their lives. It connects the Earth and the home planet of the Interstellar Alliance and is their only hope. The passage is filled with a mysterious atmosphere, as if telling countless stories.

"Let's go!" William Davis gave the order, and the team filed in and disappeared into the darkness. In the passage, the atmosphere was oppressive, and everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound. They knew that if they were not careful, they would expose their target and all their efforts would be wasted. In the darkness, only a faint light flickered, as if guiding them in the direction of progress.

After a long sneak, William Davis and others finally reached the exit of the passage. The exit was located in an abandoned factory. It was quiet all around, with only a few dim street lamps emitting a faint light. The light seemed to tell the story of the past glory and the present desolation.

"Captain, we have arrived at the designated location. Shall we start the operation?" Emily Wilson's voice reached William Davis through the communicator. Her voice was full of tension and anticipation, as if she was waiting for an important decision.

"Action!" William Davis gave the order decisively. His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if announcing to everyone that the battle had begun.

The next moment, the silence of the night sky was broken, and deafening explosions and gunshots resounded through the sky. William Davis led the first echelon, stabbing into the heart of the enemy like a sharp knife, and quickly occupied the commanding heights of the factory, opening a breakthrough for the follow-up troops. Flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and everyone was fighting for victory.

Fierce fighting broke out instantly. Although the defenders of the Interstellar Alliance were well prepared, they were still caught off guard by the sudden attack of William Davis and others. William Davis's fire ability was like a roaring fire dragon, and wherever he went, the enemies were reduced to ashes. The flames seemed to be angry gods, punishing the invaders. David Clark held an alloy sword, like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and every swing took away several lives. His eyes were full of anger and determination, as if he was avenging his brothers.

"Charge! For the Earth!" The resistance fighters were in high spirits and fought bravely. They knew victory was just around the corner. Their shouts were like surging waves, impacting the enemy's defense line.

However, the resistance of the Interstellar Alliance was also extremely tenacious. Relying on solid fortifications and advanced weapons and equipment, they fought a desperate battle with William Davis and others. The battle was extremely tragic, and both sides suffered huge casualties. Every life lost seemed to tell the cruelty of war.

"Captain, the enemy's firepower is too strong, we can't hold on any longer!" Anxious shouts came from the communicator. Their voices were full of fatigue and despair, as if they were waiting for a miracle to happen.

William Davis frowned, he knew that they were already in a tough fight, but they could not retreat at this moment, otherwise all their efforts would be in vain. He looked around and found a tall tower not far away. If they could occupy it, they could suppress the enemy's firepower from a high position.

"David Clark, follow me!" William Davis shouted to David Clark beside him, and then led the charge towards the tower... "Captain, be careful!" David Clark roared, swinging his knife to block a beam of energy coming from the side. The beam was like lightning, instantly piercing the night sky. William Davis reacted very quickly, and blasted the attacker away with a fireball. Their figures flickered in the firelight, like fearless warriors.

The two fought and retreated, and finally climbed up the tower. Looking down from above, William Davis immediately ordered to concentrate firepower to suppress the enemy's firepower points and cover the follow-up troops' advance. Their eyes were full of determination and resolution, as if they were fighting for victory.

The rebels had a chance to catch their breath, and with the support of the new weapons brought by Morse White, they gradually turned the situation around. They smiled with triumph, as if they saw the dawn of hope. William Davis looked at the retreating Interstellar Alliance army, but he did not dare to relax at all. He knew that this was only the first line of defense, and the real test was still to come.

"William Davis, the Star Alliance's defense system has been breached, and our people have successfully infiltrated the control center." Emily Wilson's voice came from the communicator, with a hint of joy. Her voice was like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating everyone's hope.

William Davis cheered up, "Okay! Let's get there right away!" His eyes were full of anticipation and determination, as if he was fighting for the final victory.

They fought their way through the barriers and finally approached the core control area of the Interstellar Alliance. However, just when they thought victory was in sight, a figure in a black robe quietly appeared in front of them.

"Phantom Shadow?!" William Davis and Emily Wilson exclaimed in unison. Their eyes were filled with shock and fear, as if they had seen the coming of a demon.

"Long time no see, William Davis, Emily Wilson." Phantom Shadow's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of teasing. His voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, making people shudder.

"How come you are here? You are from the Interstellar Alliance?!" Emily Wilson looked at the man who had helped them in disbelief. Her eyes were full of confusion and anger, as if she was questioning a traitor.

Phantom Shadow sneered, "I have never been a member of the Interstellar Alliance. I am just using them." He raised his head and glanced at everyone present. "You stupid rebels, do you really think you can change this? You are nothing but pawns, pawns that can be manipulated by others!"

"What do you want to do?" William Davis asked coldly. His eyes were full of vigilance and anger, as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

"What do I want to do? It's simple. I want to re-establish a new order, an order dominated by me!" Phantom Shadow laughed arrogantly. His laughter was like the roar of a devil, making people feel desperate.

"Wishful thinking!" William Davis was furious, with a ball of fire burning in his hand. The fire seemed like an angry god, ready to punish this arrogant enemy.

"You ants dare to stop me?" Phantom Shadow snorted disdainfully, and the space around him began to twist violently. The powerful energy fluctuations made people palpitate. The energy seemed to be the power from hell, making people feel desperate.

William Davis and others suddenly felt trapped in a quagmire, and their movements became extremely slow. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair, as if they were facing an invincible enemy.

"Oh no! He set a trap!" Emily Wilson's face changed drastically and she shouted anxiously. Her voice was full of fear and despair, as if she was worried about everyone's fate.

William Davis knew something was wrong, but it was too late. The space around them suddenly collapsed, swallowing them all...

William Davis and others fell into a dark void, with an unsettling buzzing sound in their ears. The sound seemed to be a call from hell, making people feel desperate. He tried to steady himself, but found himself like he was in quicksand, sinking uncontrollably.

"Yaoyao! David Clark!" William Davis anxiously called out his companion's name, but he only heard his voice echoing in the empty darkness without any response. Fear was like a cold vine, tightly wrapped around his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Is this what death feels like?

No! I can't just give up!

William Davis gritted his teeth, suppressed the fear in his heart, and concentrated his mind to mobilize the fire power in his body. A ball of blazing flame ignited in his palm, dispelling the darkness around him and illuminating a small space. The flame seemed to be a beacon of hope, guiding him in the direction of progress.

"William Davis, where are you?" Emily Wilson's voice came from not far away, with a hint of weakness. Her voice was like a ray of light in the darkness, which made William Davis happy.

"Yaoyao! I'm here!" William Davis looked in the direction of the voice and saw Emily Wilson and David Clark trapped in a translucent energy ball. Their faces were pale and they had obviously consumed a lot of their superpowers. Their eyes were full of fatigue and despair, as if they were waiting for a miracle to happen.

"Damn it! What the hell is this place?" David Clark swung his sword vigorously, but he couldn't shake the energy ball at all. His eyes were full of anger and despair, as if he was facing an invincible enemy.

"This is a trap set by Phantom Shadow using the space confinement technology of the Interstellar Alliance, specifically designed to deal with people with special abilities." Emily Wilson explained, trying to hold back a headache. Her voice was filled with exhaustion and despair, as if she was worried about everyone's fate. "The space here is distorted, and our special abilities have been suppressed to the limit. We can't break through by force at all."

"Then what should we do?" David Clark asked in despair. His eyes were full of helplessness and despair, as if he was waiting for an answer.

Emily Wilson did not answer, but cast her eyes on William Davis, her eyes full of worry and expectation. She knew that everyone's hope now rested on William Davis.

William Davis took a deep breath. He knew that everyone's hope was now pinned on him. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in the surrounding space, trying to find a chance for a breakthrough. It was a silent battle, a contest with fate.

As time passed, beads of sweat oozed out of William Davis' forehead, but he never gave up hope. Suddenly, he felt a faint spatial fluctuation, like a ray of starlight in the dark night, which brought him hope.

"Found it!" William Davis suddenly opened his eyes, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, "Yaoyao, connect your mental power with mine, I will guide you!" His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if bringing hope to everyone.

Emily Wilson extended her spiritual power without hesitation, interweaving it with William Davis's. Their spiritual powers were like two rivers, converging together to form a powerful force. William Davis guided Emily Wilson's spiritual power, following the weak spatial fluctuations, tearing open a crack little by little. It was a silent battle, a contest with fate.

"David Clark, prepare to break out!" William Davis yelled, concentrating all his powers on Emily Wilson. His eyes were full of determination and resolve, as if bringing hope to everyone.

Emily Wilson received the support of William Davis's supernatural power, and her mental strength surged, instantly tearing the space crack open a bigger hole. The hole seemed to be a door of hope, and light penetrated through the crack, illuminating their originally dim world.

"Charge!" David Clark roared, wielding his sword, and rushed out of the energy ball with Emily Wilson. They ran towards the light like wild horses.

William Davis was about to rush out, but suddenly he felt a powerful pressure coming from above his head, pinning him down in place.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Phantom Shadow's cold voice sounded in William Davis' ears, like the whisper of a devil from the depths of hell.

William Davis looked up, only to see that Phantom Shadow had appeared above their heads at some point, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes and a terrifying ball of energy condensed in his hand, facing him.

"William Davis!" Emily Wilson and David Clark shouted in horror and tried to rush back to save him, but were forced back by Phantom Shadow's pressure.

William Davis was trapped in place, unable to move, and could only watch the terrifying energy ball attacking him. A sense of despair surged in his heart, but was instantly replaced by determination. He couldn't just give up like this, he still had a mission to complete, and countless people were waiting for him.

Just as the energy ball was about to hit William Davis, he burst out all his superpowers, and the fire power formed a fiery shield around him. The energy ball collided with the shield, making a deafening sound, and the strong impact made William Davis feel as if his body was about to be torn apart.

But he gritted his teeth and held on, not letting himself fall. He stared at Phantom Shadow with a determined heart.

"Hmph, you're pretty tenacious." Phantom Shadow snorted coldly and increased his energy output again. William Davis' shield began to crack and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

However, William Davis did not back down. He thought of his homeland and the people who sacrificed their lives to resist the invasion, and endless anger burned in his heart.

"Phantom Shadow, you won't succeed!" William Davis roared, exerting his powers to the fullest. His body seemed to be burning, and flames gushed out of his body and rushed towards Phantom Shadow.

Phantom Shadow was slightly startled and dodged quickly, but the flames seemed to have life and kept chasing him.

"Damn it!" Phantom Shadow cursed, and once again condensed an energy ball in his hand to fight against William Davis's flames.

In this fierce battle, William Davis gradually found Phantom Shadow's weakness. He seized the opportunity and suddenly burst out with a powerful force, breaking through Phantom Shadow's pressure and rushing towards him.

Phantom Shadow didn't have time to react and was knocked back by William Davis. William Davis took the opportunity to launch a series of attacks, and flames fell on Phantom Shadow like a storm.

Phantom Shadow fought back desperately, but he could see that William Davis was already at the end of his strength.

"William Davis, do you think you can defeat me like this?" Phantom Shadow sneered, "You are too naive."

As he spoke, he suddenly released a powerful dark force that enveloped William Davis. William Davis felt his strength rapidly draining away, and his body became weaker and weaker.

But he still didn't give up, he kept telling himself in his heart that he must persevere. Just when he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly felt a warm power surge from the bottom of his heart.

That was the faith of his companions, their trust and expectation in him. William Davis opened his eyes, and the fighting spirit was rekindled in them.

He used up his last bit of strength to break free from the shackles of the dark power. Then, he concentrated all his supernatural powers and delivered a final blow to Phantom Shadow.

This attack was like a meteor across the night sky, with immense power and determination. Phantom Shadow looked at the attack in horror and tried to dodge but it was too late.

"boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, and Phantom Shadow was hit and flew backwards. He fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth.

William Davis also fell to the ground due to exhaustion, but a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

Emily Wilson and David Clark rushed over and helped William Davis up.

"You did it, William Davis," Emily Wilson enthused.

"We won." David Clark also shouted excitedly.

William Davis smiled weakly and looked off into the distance. He knew that although the battle was won, their mission was not over yet. They still had to continue fighting for the future of the Earth.
