Chapter 397: Justification and Reinforcements

James's face was extremely ugly, and his chest was violent.

Of course, he could hear the ** "naked" ridicule in Lin An's words, since he was a child, except for a few times, he had never been scolded in person like this - what Lin An said sounded more vicious to him than the vulgar swear words of market slang in the years when I was a teacher!

Lin An smiled, "Your Excellency James, I don't have anything I can help with here, so let's go back and meditate first." ”

After that, it's time to leave.

"Wait!"

James finally reluctantly suppressed his emotion, and forcibly suppressed his trembling body, but his face was red, fortunately no one around them noticed this scene at this time, and everyone focused on the rescue of the wounded.

Lin An didn't look back and continued to walk forward.

A rush of footsteps came from behind, and James grabbed Lin An's hand from behind and strode forward, pulling her away from the crowd.

Someone next to him finally noticed that something was wrong with the two of them, and looked surprised.

After all, a man's strength has an advantage, Lin An's wrist was clenched painfully, and he couldn't get out of it after struggling twice, and he noticed the eyes of others, and thought that it was not good to show the topic of her and James's argument in front of others, so he gave up the struggle and let James pull her to a corner with fewer people.

"Please let go, Lord James!"

Walking to no one's place, Lin An shook off James's hand, and his white wrist had already given birth to a circle of purple and red marks like a bracelet, but because of the strength of her physique, Lin An didn't care too much about it, just "rubbed" her wrist hard-

This action fell into James's eyes, as if Lin An didn't want to touch him, worried about something dirty on his wrist.

"Listen, woman!"

James looked around and saw that there was no one, so he whispered in a suppressed voice, "I don't know where your accusations come from. But ......"

"Does it make sense to argue now? Your expression just now has been explained! Lin An snorted slightly, and his deep eyes looked at James coldly.

To be honest, at first, Lin An just planned to use that topic to test James to see if he knew anything, but later on James's expression, it was difficult to convince Lin An not to believe his earlier suspicions about him.

"Hell, I just couldn't react for a while!" James said irritably, with an inexplicable look of indignation.

Because of his trust in his own perception, Lin An knew that this resentment was not a disguise. It's just that when he talked about Dudley before, how can he explain James's lack of heart?

"Then how do you explain that after the team was pulled, you not only pushed off the position of team leader, but also hid in the carriage uncharacteristically and did not see anyone?" Lin An's tone eased slightly. At least James was given a chance to explain.

James felt a little better:

Even if he is not interested in female sex, his pursuit of beauty runs through the blood of every blue lion, and it is a very uncomfortable thing for him to be misunderstood by a beautiful and well-established person like Lin An.

And. Lin An's accusations were too strict, and James felt that his personal dignity was slandered by Yan!

"That's just a hunchβ€”Master Elim, your wisdom, can't you also anticipate the unrest on the way home?"

Lin An's eyes flashed.

She did have a hunch that this return trip would not be smooth.

After all, the other two countries may not dare to attack blatantly, but they will never sit idly by and watch Merlin's smooth sailing morale, increase the centripetal force of their armies with this meritorious deed, and once again show off their force in front of the whole continent - a confrontation at the national level. There was never mercy to speak of, and for the other two countries, Merlin had better be dragged into the mire by this war. Even with the demons, it is best to be picked up by them, which is the most ideal future.

For this goal, the two countries may have sent a lot of spy killers into the country, and they may even have planted the inner line of the Void Wheel a long time agoRead the full text.

But Merlin wasn't a vegetarian either. has been battling wits and courage against these stumbling blocks - there are many tricks in this, and Lin An only relies on the small amount of Komert's memories that he has absorbed before. You can get a glimpse or two.

James took a deep breath to calm himself down and explained:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Admittedly, I had been warned before I set off, so I was unusually low-key. But this avalanche was not what I and the people who warned me were expecting!

To be precise, I don't know exactly what day, where, or what's going to happen, just like you. Otherwise, even if I am mad, I will not risk the lives of so many people, not to mention that this disaster is so strict, even if I can make up for it afterwards because of the organization of rescue, it will not be good for me! ”

After James finished speaking, he closed his eyes suddenly, and his teeth were full of resentment, "I always thought that there would be no 'accident' until at least after Gaunt City.

Unexpectedly, their hands stretched out so long, and those wolf dogs in the military intelligence department usually bark fiercely, but at critical times, they are useless at all! ”

He punched the snow wall, and the surface of his fist was stained with bright red blood.

"Do you have acquaintances who haven't been rescued yet?"

"Who doesn't have a few friends? Master Lynn couldn't help but think of me a little too coldly! James sneered coldly, "Your knight, hasn't you been digging in the snow like crazy?" ”

The corners of James's eyes were slightly red, Lin An already knew that he was wrong to blame him before, and he didn't refute it when he laughed at him at this time, but just said calmly:

"I solemnly apologize to you again for the previous misunderstanding, and if you have any requests, you can ask me."

From James's explanation, Lin An already knew that he was excusable, but as a member of the hidden family, she felt a little uncomfortable after all - if it wasn't for Sarin reminding her, her carriage might still be in the middle of the line, that is, the closest place to the time of the incident, and it was difficult to say what the consequences would be.

And although the military knew the possibility of "accidents", in the end, because of their carelessness, so many people were buried in this canyon from then on, including the few personal guards who had fought side by side with Lin An.

So she has nothing to comfort James for showing his pain, and now that she has figured out the truth and knows that this team of people is a victim of the Terran infighting, Lin An knows that when she rises to this level, James does have a reasonable reason that cannot be said, but he is a victim. There are still people around him whose whereabouts are unknown, and Lin An is really in no mood to understand anything-

I only hope that the things I gave to those guards in advance can support them until they are rescued.

……

"Found it!"

John's eyes, which were already red, pounced on him, and the rescued person who was wrapped in a layer of ice and snow could no longer recognize his face, but he recognized from the appearance and clothing of the other party that these people were the brothers he had been with day and night, and his face suddenly "revealed" a look of ecstasy, and then suddenly stood unsteadily, and fell headlong.

Sidney, who was next to him, held him up and handed it to the man next to him. Then he said to John, who had suffocated his last sanity: "Leave the rest to me, and I will do my best." ”

After John was sent down, the first guard who was dug up woke up on his own. As soon as I saw Lin An, who had come in a hurry, he looked stern, although he couldn't speak, his eyes filled with ice and snow were slightly grateful, and he looked a little excited.

Then several guards who were dug out also appeared one after another in a similar situation of automatic awakening.

"Seems to be sane. You can also express your feelings! The mage who participated in the rescue on the side said excitedly, "This is the best group of people, their physique is really strong - many people who were rescued earlier than them, and their condition after being rescued is not better than them!" ”

"I also saw that knight just now, he and these soldiers seem to be the eagle head of the long-tailed green eagle legion, pure-blooded temptation! Sure enough, it's the elite! ”

A few people whispered. Their men were guarded in the first aid, but they didn't seem to have lost their hearing and heard them clearly. There was a smug look in his eyes.

Seeing them so energetic, Lin An also breathed a sigh of relief.

What she left for a few of her guards was some healing potions in the silver drops that had been soaked in the power of nature, and it was only because of Salin's reminder that she knew that she was followed by a group of people. Thinking that in the event of an unexpected battle, it would be dangerous to engage the guards in close quarters. The "medicine" can save their "life" as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, what happened to him was an avalanche, and the "medicine" she gave to the guards saved their lives by mistake.

It's just that since Titi left, these "medicines" that have been soaked in the power of nature have been very small, and Lin An and Sidney basically can't use them, and the rest are divided equally among the guards, and they have been basically exhausted, even if Lin An wants to use them in the rescue later, there is no way to make them - after all, the key to this "medicine" is the power of nature, not the therapeutic "medicine" as the base "liquid".

After completing another batch of first aid, everyone showed fatigue on their faces and slowly walked towards the fire with each other's support.

One of the mages said tiredly: "Even when I was on the front line, I didn't overdraw my magic so often, but I didn't expect to have an experience on the way back." ”

"It's better to save people now than to be saved...... Now that I think about it, I'm really glad that I have persevered and not given up halfway," another mage said with emotion, "The power of a mage can only be highlighted when it encounters a crisis!" ”

"yes, I thought so too!"

"Me too, I feel like my willpower has improved a lot recently!"

Several people were talking in unison, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious, as if because of the same boat in this disaster, everyone's relationship was invisibly closer.

Lin An thought that even if only one-third of their group of people could go back alive, with the emotional foundation laid in this death, their future influence would not be lower than that of the latecomers.

There was a sudden cacophony in the distance, and someone hurried by, running all the way through several places where people had gathered.

"Excellencies, reinforcements from nearby fortresses are here!"

The crowd, who were still tired and unconscious just now, stood up at once, "What! Reinforcements coming? How many people and how many supplies were brought? ……”

A mage asked aloud and eagerly, and at the same time, people came out of the convalescent tents and first-aid tents, as well as several nearby rescue sites that were being excavated, asking questions with concern.

When they heard that the first batch of reinforcements had brought half of the garrison of the fortress, and that it was the highest commander of the fortress who had brought a large number of warm and first-aid supplies, everyone cheered or hugged each other with red eyes.

"It's finally here!"

Lin An leaned back tiredly, and an extreme sleepiness also surged up from his heart.

It's going to be fine!

Lin An thought in his heart, the cheers of everyone rang in his ears, but somehow there was a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, thinking of Salin's warning and the feeling of being watched before, there was a vague feeling of being targeted.

(To be continued)

ps:

This chapter is a little bland transition, slightly boring, let's just take a look at it and write this plot, on the one hand, the arrangement of the follow-up plot, on the other hand, is also when reviewing the previous plot, I found that I had too much ink on the level of struggle, but in the human "nature" brilliance that appeared in the war, it seems to be a little lame, so I added a little similar scene Well, this is also because I wrote about a large-scale war for the first time, there is always a little imbalance, and the grasp is not comprehensive enough, I hope you can understand.
