Chapter 335: The War Ends, Charlotte Lingling Escapes

Kuzan took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart.

Kaido's power left a deep impression on him, but Jin An in front of him ended the battle with even more absolute power.

He looked at Jin An's back, his heart filled with complex emotions, including admiration and a hint of inferiority.

The sailors looked at the bottomless abyss, and the fear in their hearts was gradually replaced by an invisible awe.

Jin'an's strength was far beyond their imagination, and the outcome of this battle was also beyond their expectations.

The fall of Kaido means that the war is gradually coming to an end, and Jin'an's strength points them in the direction of the future.

In this silent battlefield, Jinan's figure stands in everyone's heart like an insurmountable mountain.

The sea breeze was still blowing, blowing up the remaining smoke and dust on the battlefield, as if drawing the curtain to this epic battle.

And Jinan's name will be forever engraved in everyone's memory with this battle.

The navy were just rejoicing over Kaido's fall.

Then he was interrupted by a sigh.

That sigh seemed to carry a heavy sense of time, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Alas, I am useless when I am old."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zefa landing lightly beside Jin'an with moon steps.

Although his figure is no longer as tall and straight as when he was young, he still exudes majesty and power that cannot be ignored.

His military uniform looked somewhat damaged, and even had several cuts on the shoulders, but these marks did not conceal his calm and steady demeanor at all. Instead, they highlighted his tenacity and perseverance after going through countless battles.

"Teacher Zefa!"

The sailors stood at attention and saluted in unison, their voices full of respect and admiration.

When Zefa saw this scene, a gentle smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand, with a hint of care from an elder to a younger generation in his tone:

"On the battlefield, we are all marines, there is no such thing as a teacher or not."

"It's a pity that Charlotte Lingling just took advantage of the chaos to escape..."

"You all performed very well in this battle. I am proud of you all."

His words were like a warm breeze, blowing through the hearts of every naval soldier, and the tension just now was diluted by the warmth of this moment.

But Zefa's gaze quickly turned to Kaido, who was already unconscious on the sea. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, including the joy of finally catching the other party, as well as emotion about the scene before him.

"This guy has a very thick skin."

Zefa clicked his tongue in amazement, his tone full of admiration.

He looked at Jin An beside him, with a hint of admiration and satisfaction in his eyes.

"Your strength has surpassed an old man like me. It makes me happy."

Jin An shook his head slightly, without much pride on his face.

Suddenly, his body trembled, his palm pressed hard on his chest, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, the expressions of Zefa and the other navy officers suddenly became tense. All the cheers and joy seemed to be frozen in an instant, and an uneasy atmosphere filled the air.

"Were you injured in the fight with Kaido?"

There was obvious concern in Zefa's voice, and his eyes were like a hawk, staring at Jin'an's face closely, afraid to miss any abnormality.

However, Jin An just slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and spoke calmly as usual:

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Although his words were simple, they revealed an unshakable confidence.

Seeing this, Zefa's brows relaxed slightly, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.

He knew that Jin An would not show weakness easily, but as his teacher, he knew even more clearly that Jin An would not show such weakness for no reason.

"I am an old man who has seen a lot, so don't force yourself."

Zephyr said in that hoarse but powerful voice.

Jin An smiled slightly and said nothing more. He knew Zefa's concern, but he also knew that he had to show the demeanor of a strong man at this moment, especially on the battlefield, where his every move would affect morale.

As he looked up into the distance, his gaze passed over the abyss above the sea and fixed on the sky. The unfinished battle was still burning the entire battlefield, and he, as the center of this war, had to stand firm as always.

After confirming that Jinan was in good health.

Kuzan walked forward and gave him one last worried look.

He then squatted down and put the seastone handcuffs on Kaido's wrists.

The giant hands that once frightened countless people have now lost their former deterrent power and are ruthlessly bound in cold shackles.

As the lock closed with a click, Kaido's body shook slightly, and the fierce light that once flashed in his eyes dimmed.

He, one of the strongest creatures on land, sea and air, is now a loser.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to say anything more, just looked at each other, and then followed Jin An, exhausted, and set out on the road back to the G5 branch.

Along the way, the naval soldiers cast admiring glances at them, those glances were filled with deep respect and excitement, as if they were watching an impossible miracle.

Every pair of eyes tells of the pride and gratitude in their hearts.

Some cheered softly, some saluted silently, and some couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, Jinan, who was walking in the front, did not feel relieved at all.

His eyes were as calm as water, but there was a deep pain hidden in them.

Every step he took on the ground felt like he was stepping on the blood of countless soldiers.

Although they had won the battle, the heavy price still lingered in his mind.

Jin'an glanced around and the dilapidated G5 branch came into view. Those once sturdy buildings were now in ruins, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

The soldiers' cheers and laughter seemed somewhat out of place amid the devastation, as if they were celebrating a tragic victory rather than a war full of tragedy and sacrifice.

Jin An tightened his fingers slightly, and the wound hurt slightly, but the pain was far less than the heaviness in his heart.

Along the way, the eyes of the navy soldiers seemed to be shining, but Jinan knew that behind this light was the blood of countless comrades, those comrades who would never return.

"They all fought for justice," Jin An said silently in his heart, and his fists clenched involuntarily, "But is such a victory really worth it?"

But war is not something he can decide alone.

Fortunately for him, one of the culprits who started the war has been caught by them.
