Lying in the tent, the night gradually deepened and the dim light illuminated the tent where Yang Yu was.
Looking at the back of his hand which was slightly raised to block his vision, Yang Yu seemed to have a bright flame in front of his eyes.
The flames enveloped the entire Benliang City, burning everything he had ever seen and reducing them to ashes.
When I close my eyes, everything becomes so real.
Even lying on the comfortable bed pulled out from the system, Yang Yu did not feel sleepy at all.
I originally thought that after the fire, I would still be able to organize the team as usual, implement my plan step by step, and ultimately achieve my goal.
However.
"It's unexpectedly heavy, or rather, too heavy."
Yang Yu muttered to himself, wondering when did he come up with such a devilish idea
The Cerrovo Gate Plains prevent fire magic from producing flames, but there is no limit to actual fire.
In war games, it is not uncommon to use fire attacks.
In history... I can’t say in history, well, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are also many examples of using fire attacks.
Fire attack seems to have become a standard for some people who want to do big things.
Zhou Yu burned hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's troops in one breath, and Zhuge Liang also used the characteristics of rattan armor to burn a large number of southern barbarian soldiers.
I don’t know what kind of mood they were in when they came up with those strategies.
Perhaps, it was not them who were carrying out the order, but the entire army, so there was no psychological burden.
This is a magical world where the existence of outstanding individuals will be infinitely magnified.
In the world where Yang Yu originally lived, it was almost impossible to fight one against a hundred or one against a thousand.
But in this world, such a situation is not uncommon.
Therefore, the dragons made such rules to limit the personnel participating in the war and some of their skills to prevent the war from being too brutal.
As a result, the situation that the dragons least wanted to see happened.
I thought that the fire caused by that method was a variant of super-large fire magic, but when it was used, it was far more tragic than I had imagined.
Yang Yu has not heard how many survivors there are in Benliang City.
Many survivors probably hate him to the core...
There is no way around this either.
Despite comforting himself over and over again, the heaviness in Yang Yu's heart still lingered.
Suddenly, Yang Yu's tent was opened.
Her golden hair was messy, and her bangs, which had been cut short before, had grown long and covered half of her face. She held a smooth magic wand in her hand.
The person who came was none other than Bai Jin.
"That. General"
Although he was the one who came up with the idea, it was Bai Jin who released the magic and ultimately caused the fire.
Even though she said that she would take all the responsibility, after seeing that scene, Bai Jin must have felt very uneasy.
As a team leader, why am I so depressed
After wiping his face, Yang Yu sat up from the bed and asked:
"What's up, Hibiscus?"
Being looked at seriously by Yang Yu, Bai Jin felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start.
Yang Yu asked, "Is this really what happened today?"
Bai Jin nodded, used magic to confirm that there was no one nearby, and then she bravely took a few steps towards Yang Yu.
Before officially speaking, Bai Jin took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"General, please, please cheer up."
Although Bai Jin had thought again and again about how to start the conversation with Yang Yu and soothe Yang Yu's heart before entering his tent, when she stood in front of Yang Yu, Bai Jin's mind went blank, and she forgot everything she had prepared. In the end, she only squeezed out a few words stiffly.
Before coming to Benliang City, Bai Jin had never seen Yang Yu show that kind of expression.
In the light of the fire, Yang Yu seemed to have lost his usual composure, and his cheeks looked a little pale.
After the dragon extinguished the flames, when Yang Yu was confronting the dragon, Bai Jin could also sense Yang Yu's impatience. It seemed that Yang Yu was just reciting the lines he had prepared in advance.
If it were the Yang Yu of the past, he might have stepped directly on the flames that had not yet been extinguished, loudly publicizing the legitimacy of his actions, and then exaggeratedly accused the dragons of inaction, trying to extract some useful information from the dragons' mouths, and then used the attitude of "If the dragons don't want to take care of it, just stand by and watch", forcing the dragons to provide him with some insignificant "services".
Yang Yu should have been confident and calm from beginning to end to end this war.
Bai Jin also had complaints.
Since joining the army, Yang Yu has deliberately kept a distance from them out of necessity. Although there were people who wanted Yang Yu to be promoted so that they could spend more time together, Yang Yu always shirked the responsibility by saying, "It's not the right time yet" or "There are some magic that you need to learn and prepare. You don't need to waste time on complicated military affairs."
Hearing Bai Jin's words, Yang Yu looked a little surprised: "Am I listless?"
"Yeah. That. This"
Bai Jin nodded vigorously and wanted to say some more encouraging words, but she was afraid that the gloomy self from the past would come out and turn the words of encouragement into a bunch of curses, adding insult to injury. While she was trying her best to endure, she also tried hard to squeeze out encouraging words from her mouth.
Seeing Bai Jin like this, Yang Yu couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Hey, Bai Jin."
While calling Bai Jin, Yang Yu stretched out his hand towards Bai Jin's cheek, supported Bai Jin's face, and couldn't help asking:
"Are you alive?"
Feeling the coolness on Yang Yu's palm, Bai Jin widened her eyes slightly, and then her gaze hidden behind her bangs became gentle, and all the nervousness just now was swept away.
She raised her hands, held Yang Yu's hand that was touching her cheek, smiled, and then pressed her entire slightly hot cheek against Yang Yu's hand.
“That’s right.
I'm alive.
Now, I am alive here.
I didn't go anywhere, and it wasn't an illusion. There are still many interesting things in this world. It would be a waste to die like this.
So, you will take me to see this beautiful world again, right
At that time, you said that you wanted to have an unprecedented adventure, and I have been looking forward to it.
so
I won’t say that you should go back to being the heartless person you used to be, the one who would even keep a smirk on your face when facing a strong enemy.
Because the one in front of me right now might be the real you.
”
Bai Jin's gentle words were like an arrow that pierced Yang Yu's heart.
Yang Yu instantly figured out what he hadn't figured out just now.
