Chapter 342: Tidying up the endgame

Soon, after the retreat of the general Baili, the army of the highlands quickly disappeared into the plain. Layla quickly regrouped her troops, and the night returned to its usual quietness.

On the plain, the fog in the misty forest began to gather again, but the devastation after the war still left traces on the plain, and even the fog could not completely hide the wounds left by the war.

Although in terms of results, the Land of Celestial Radiance successfully resisted the invasion of the Highlands this time, in fact, the large number of casualties was a rather tragic lesson for the Celestial Country!

At the same time, after such a battle, the problems existing in the Land of Celestial Radiance were finally completely exposed, the natural disadvantages of the terrain, and the weak professional mages...... The situation seems to be even less optimistic than An An had previously anticipated. Until now, An An didn't dare to think about what the situation would be now if Lin hadn't appeared in time?

At this time, Lin Ye finally came to the foot of the mountain. The breeze blew his already crumbled hair, and the moonlight was peaceful, but it still couldn't hide the strangeness and loneliness in his right eye. The lonely figure of the young man came slowly from a distance, and his expressionless face revealed a little fierceness and arrogance, which made people feel that this was a lonely and indifferent person.

Lin glanced at An An and said lightly, "I'm here." When he said this, Lin's voice and tone were relatively gentle, so those who saw him for the first time couldn't believe it: they didn't expect this clean and weak young man to be the sharp mage who almost controlled the overall situation of the battlefield before!

Nina's body finally eased up a little, and with the support of Xiaoxin and Nick, she came to Lin's face, a little incredulous: "Why did you come here? Also, how do you ...... your eyes?" Done?"

Lin raised his hand and stroked the hair on his forehead, and then replied lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the lesion has faded, and it's not a big deal." As he spoke, he glanced at Charlene again and asked with some confusion, "Charlene, why are you here?"

Charlene smiled and said a little helplessly: "This matter is a matter of words, I will explain it to you slowly in the future!"

Soon, the army of the Celestial Radiant Country had already cleaned up the mess, and Layla ordered the large army to return to the barracks to reorganize and rest. She herself stayed with Berg and joined the conversation.

Layla looked at Charlene, and then at Lin, obviously very interested in these two strange young men, and Berg's eyes widened even more, his eyes kept glancing at Lin's body, obviously still shocked by Lin's previous crushing strength!

But it's no wonder, because let alone Berg, even Nina and Charlene, who have known Lin for a long time, and even An An, are quite surprised after seeing Lin Ru Yun's free and skillful manipulation of giant spells!

Because Lin usually gives people the feeling that Wenwen is weak and has no sense of existence, and his ability is not outstanding in the impression of everyone, his performance this time really subverts everyone's existing impression! Everyone didn't expect that there was such a talented master hidden among his classmates!

So Nina and Charlene suddenly had a little more appreciation in their eyes when they looked at Lin, and they instantly understood An An's intention to find Lin: to have him alone on the battlefield is enough to reach thousands of troops!

Of course, although Lin has a crushing talent, in a one-on-one battle, due to the large spell range is too large and easy to hurt himself, coupled with the fact that he is born with a weak body, Lin actually can't have any advantage, so when he is still in the War Academy, his performance can only be regarded as average at best. But the war occasions where the target is massed on a large scale seem to be tailor-made for him, and it is just right to give full play to his talents.

The mist in the Misty Forest was facing them, gradually flooding the area where everyone was, and it was already late at night when the silver moon was in the sky. Everyone decided to go back to the camp for a good rest, and everyone was already very tired after such a battle.

In the process of everyone walking back, Charlene noticed that the two boys, Xiaoxin and Nick, were a little depressed, so she stopped and asked gently, "What's wrong with you two, were you scared when the highlands invaded just now?"

Neither of them spoke, but the expressions on their faces became a little tangled.

Charlene thought it was strange and asked again.

At this time, Nick said with some hesitation: "No, I'm not afraid......! I'm sorry! I wasn't so complacent!"

Charlene was stunned, she obviously didn't expect that Nick, a stubborn little ghost, would apologize to herself, but she quickly understood, and at the same time showed a relieved smile.

Along the way with these children, Charlene is also witnessing their growth. Charlene knew that although she had often warned these children not to be complacent, due to the restrictions of their growth environment, the children's vision was limited to the small group of Lin witches, or the same people as them. So they are often complacent about their progress, and they often disagree with Charlene's words.

But today, after these children have experienced the war and seen so many different people, they finally have a first-hand understanding of what it means to be powerful. At this moment, they truly realized how small they were, and they were finally able to let go of those self-righteousness in their hearts and begin to re-examine themselves.

So Charlene just smiled and said, "It's good to know, I forgive you! It's not too early now, you should go back quickly!"

Nick nodded, then turned around to return to the camp where the Wood Witches were stationed. However, he only walked a few steps before stopping again, because he found that Xiaoxin had been standing still and had not moved.

Xiaoxin glanced at Nick and said, "You go back first! I still have some ......."

Seeing this, Nick turned around and left alone.

Therefore, now only Xiaoxin and Charlene are left walking side by side under the moonlight.

The night wind was cold and cold, and it was a little biting on his body, but Xiaoxin was always silent, and his eyes flickered.

Finally, Charlene stopped and asked kindly, "What, what do you want to say to me?"

Xiao Xin also stopped, showing a tangled expression, and after a while, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "You...... Why did you choose me in the first place, why did you choose me as a good-for-nothing person......

Charlene was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood. Xiaoxin's child is introverted, and his ability has never been outstanding, so Xiaoxin has always felt quite uneasy about Charlene's preference. He didn't understand why Charlene chose him, was it just a whim, and he was worried that one day he would be replaced by someone else, so he always felt honestly afraid. After seeing how powerful and outstanding Charlene's friends are today, Xiaoxin's feeling became even stronger, he really couldn't understand why Charlene appreciated herself who was completely different from them and quite cowardly?

Xia Lin thought about it seriously, then looked at Xiao Xin's eyes, and said sincerely: "Xiao Xin, it is true that as you said, your physical fitness may not be as good as others, your body is not so powerful, and your reaction is not the fastest." But I've always believed that the criterion for judging whether a person is strong or not should not be only strength. In fact, even you have discovered how powerful you really are. ”

Xiao Xin was stunned, and his eyes flickered a little.

Charlene smiled and continued, "It's true that everyone wishes they could have the power to crush everything, but in fact, most of us are just ordinary people. Therefore, for most of us, careful thinking and calm character are the most important qualities to make a living in this troubled world. Especially for forest witches like us, who have been displaced all year round, and the environment in which they live is already dangerous, so it is most important to protect everyone and protect themselves at the same time. And young people, although they are strong-blooded, are also the least desirable. From the very beginning, I felt that you were thoughtful and calm enough, so I chose you, not because of a whim. And you've been doing exactly what I expected, proving that I'm not wrong. ”

After listening to Charlene's words, Xiaoxin didn't speak for a long time, but he felt warm in his heart because of Charlene's approval. At the same time, his will slowly became firmer, and he was no longer as confused as before.
