Chapter 596 Prepare for the worst
At this moment, Whitebeard rushed in from the other side of the battlefield, and his shock wave blew away a large number of enemies.
He turned his head and glanced at Jin An, seeming to sense his solemnity.
Whitebeard grinned, walked closer with his long sword, and said:
"Hey, Jinan, you don't look very happy. This is not like you."
Jin An did not respond immediately, but pointed his knife at the depths of Pangu City and said coldly:
"Imu never shows up. Don't you find it strange?"
Whitebeard raised his head and squinted his eyes to look in the direction of Pangu City. Although his expression was relaxed, there was also a hint of caution in his eyes.
He snorted and said:
“Something is definitely wrong.
But it doesn't matter, no matter what tricks she plays, when she shows up, I can kill her with this one strike."
Whitebeard's words were full of confidence, but Jinan did not let his guard down.
He knew that this battle would not end with one or two victories.
Im's power cannot be solved by brute force alone.
Not far away, Loki's dragon roar sounded again, and his voice shook the entire battlefield like thunder:
"No matter who she is, when she comes out, I will burn her to death!"
Loki's arrogance eased the atmosphere on the battlefield a little, but Jin'an was still in a heavy mood.
He whispered:
"You may be right to be optimistic, but if she has already made all the necessary preparations, we won't even have a chance to strike."
Upon hearing this, Whitebeard laughed out loud and swung his sword violently, shattering a genetic weapon that was rushing towards him into pieces.
He turned around and looked at Jin An, his tone becoming more heroic:
“Jin’an, don’t think too much.
Fighting is all about the ups and downs of swords.
No matter how strong the opponent is, he is still just a human being with flesh and blood!"
Jin An glanced at the white-bearded man, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but that smile did not make him feel relaxed.
He whispered:
"hope so."
Amid the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, there was still deathly silence deep in Pangu City.
The area seemed to be frozen in time. There was no sound and not a single wave.
Yim's figure disappeared into the shadows, and her eyes looked through the mirror, coldly observing everything on the battlefield.
"You didn't notice me?"
She laughed softly, with a hint of amusement in her voice.
"Jin'an, it seems that you are not qualified enough to sense my existence."
She slowly turned around and walked towards a door emitting a dark red light.
Behind the door, those ultimate "chips" have begun to wake up, and the smile on her lips has become deeper.
"But it's okay... by the time you see me, everything will be over."
......
On the battlefield of Elbaf, the flames of war are still spreading.
The roar of artillery fire and the sound of metal colliding echoed across the vast land. The giant warriors fought side by side with the new navy. Their tall figures were like an unshakable fortress, firmly guarding the defense line of this land.
Even though the enemy attacked wave after wave, the battle line here always stood firm.
However, in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere on the battlefield, the giants' reception room was peaceful.
The walls of this spacious room were covered with the traditional battle flags of the giants, and the air was filled with a faint scent of tea, which formed a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
A specially made giant table occupied the center of the room, the desktop was filled with snacks and tea sets, and at this moment, Zhan Guo was leisurely holding a cup of tea and taking a sip.
There was a faint smile on his wrinkled face, as if the war in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"The giants' tea really has a unique flavor."
Zhan Guo put down his teacup, reached out to pick up a piece of dessert, and savored it carefully.
His usually serious expression now seemed extremely relaxed, even revealing a hint of enjoyment.
Granny Crane, who was sitting next to him, was cutting a giant cake with a fork and nodded slightly:
“Well, the snacks here are also very good.
It is so rare that we have the opportunity to enjoy these things in such an occasion. "
Sitting across from them were Big Bear and Kuzan.
Big Bear's expression was as calm as ever. He held the teacup and seemed to be staring at the leaves floating on the tea in a trance.
His tall figure seemed exceptionally calm, as if the battle outside could not disturb him at all.
As for Kuzan, he leaned lazily on the back of his chair, holding a cup of tea in one hand and picking up a piece of dessert with the other, taking a bite casually.
His expression was like that of a leisurely traveler on vacation, forming a strange contrast with his usual cold temperament.
"Ah, it's so peaceful."
Kuzan yawned and said lazily,
"I thought Elbaf would be a hell, but it looks like this."
Granny He glanced at him and said in a light tone:
“It’s true that the battlefield is very intense, but you should understand the situation here.
Elbaf's warriors and the new navy are working hard to hold up the front. We are sitting here not to "enjoy ourselves", but to wait for the right opportunity."
Kuzan raised the corner of his mouth and shrugged:
“Of course, of course, I didn’t say we were really laid back.
But sometimes, it's nice to have a cup of tea and relax."
Big Bear listened to their conversation but never said a word.
He just drank his tea in silence, occasionally looking up at the faint smoke of the battlefield coming from outside the window.
His eyes were deep and calm, as if he was thinking about something, or rather, his thoughts had already drifted to a more distant place.
Zhan Guo seemed to see what was on his mind, put down the teacup in his hand, and said:
"Big Bear, are you worried about Marijoa's condition?"
Big Bear was slightly stunned, then nodded:
“Well… the enemies over there in Jin’an are more difficult than we expected.
Although I believe they are capable, Yim will not let us succeed so easily."
Zhan Guo pondered for a moment and sighed:
“That’s right, that guy Yimu hid it too deeply.
Even us old guys never really knew what she was up to.”
Granny Crane replied calmly:
“But that’s why we need to split our forces.
Elbaf is our last barrier. If we lose it, then no matter what Jinan and the others do in Marijoa, it will be meaningless."
Kuzan stretched and said lazily:
“That’s true.
But I still envy them - Jin An has been fighting on the front line, while we can only wait for news in the rear, which is really boring."
Zhan Guo smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said:
“Kuzan, it’s not that we are waiting for news, but they need someone to stabilize the situation in the rear.
If we join in the fun, that would be real trouble.”
Kuzan shrugged.
“Okay, okay, you old guys are right.
However, I still hope that the tea can be a little cooler, so that it will be more suitable for my taste. "
Big Bear listened to their conversation, and after a moment's silence, he spoke:
"Whatever the outcome, we must prepare for the worst."
Zhan Guo looked at him, his eyes revealing a bit of complexity:
"Big Bear, I know your determination.
You have sacrificed so much, and after this war, whatever the outcome, I want you to be free."
A complex emotion flashed across Big Bear's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He nodded slightly, without saying anything more, just picked up the teacup and took a sip.
