"elder brother..."
Seeing that no one was around, Xiao Linlin came to Su Lin's side.
She always disappears when Su Lin is busy, but reappears when she's free; she's very well-behaved.
"He's a bit strange."
Su Lin pointed at Jia Zhengyi, then at the martial arts manual in his hand: "It seems like not being able to learn this thing is a big blow to him."
"Oh dear, that's how it is for people who want to switch fields; they always end up getting badly hurt."
Xiao Linlin stuck out her little tongue and shook her head indifferently.
"That's true."
Su Lin nodded, then suddenly handed the manual to Xiao Linlin: "Girl, why don't you take a look? You're so smart, you'll definitely learn faster than Lao Jia."
Su Lin's eyes shone with fervor; he eagerly anticipated nurturing Xiao Linlin into a well-rounded young woman skilled in both literature and martial arts—a prospect that would surely bring him a great sense of accomplishment.
But to everyone's surprise, when Xiao Linlin saw the manual in her hand, she jumped away as if she had been stabbed, and hurriedly refused: "Brother, no, no! My area of expertise is not fighting and killing, I'd rather not learn it!"
"Let me teach you. It's not difficult, it's really simple."
Su Lin tried to sell it: "Even if you only master a little bit, consider it as strengthening your body. I didn't expect you to become a master."
"No, no, no, I can't learn it, I can't learn it."
Xiao Linlin shook her head repeatedly: "I have already read my brother's secret manuals. If I could understand them, I would have started learning them long ago."
"You don't understand? You're so smart!"
Su Lin was surprised. Xiao Linlin sighed and said, "Actually, I can understand some of it, but I know I don't have the talent to learn this. I'm just wasting my time."
"I need to stay on the right path so that I can grow quickly with maximum efficiency and save resources, and better help my brother."
Xiao Linlin saw things clearly, and her intelligence was evident in this: knowing something is impossible, she didn't do it.
"All right."
Su Lin stopped making things difficult for his followers. If they didn't want to learn, then they didn't have to. He could learn by himself.
As for my great talent in martial arts and such... Su Lin raised an eyebrow slightly when he thought of this, but his expression remained unchanged, neither happy nor sad.
Su Lin knew this; he had always known he was very talented, but he would never admit it.
Talk less, and show off less.
Learn more and do more.
This is Su Lin's requirement for himself, and it is also the foundation for his steady growth.
The forest returned to calm, and everyone continued to stand guard at their posts. About an hour later, Jia Zhengyi's voice suddenly came through the earpiece: "Boss, the fish is about to take the bait."
Su Lin put away the martial arts manual, adjusted his headset, and asked, "They're here?"
"They're here, just outside the forest, I wonder what they're messing around with."
Jia Zhengyi nodded and was about to describe the scene when Su Lin ordered, "Go find Ellie immediately and tell her everything about the investigation. Don't miss a single detail!"
"In this match, the main command is in the hands of Linlin and Ellie, and secondarily in Lyanna. Don't waste time talking to me about this, get to work!"
Su Lin's tone was very serious. He had been on the battlefield and deeply understood that war was a highly specialized matter.
The team structure on the battlefield must be clearly defined, specifying who does what.
If someone tries to meddle in everything just because they're the boss, the harsh reality will slap them in the face.
Even though Su Lin had some war experience and some command skills, he still dared not be careless and entrusted the entire operation to Eller and Xiao Linlin.
After all, one of them is more familiar with localized combat than he is, and the other is smarter than him; they are sure to achieve excellent combat results.
"Yes, boss!"
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Jia Zhengyi immediately sought out Ellie beside him to communicate, using his supernatural abilities to continuously describe the enemy's current movements and all the details.
Xiao Linlin also arrived at the side, and the three of them communicated closely. Before long, Elrei began to command the elves to actively approach the enemy in an encirclement posture.
Lyanna stood beside Sulin, not going far, always keeping her duty of protection in mind, and of course no one dared to order her around.
"elder brother!"
Soon, Xiao Linlin's voice came through the earpiece: "Would you like to warm up?"
"I would be delighted."
Su Lin's tone was calm, even somewhat serious: "Just tell me what you want me to do. You have absolute command authority, so don't be too reserved."
“My brother keeps emphasizing these things to me, and I’m starting to think about letting you take risks.”
Xiao Linlin said with a smile, "Brother, take Sister Lyanna outside the forest. Remember to bring the magic stone."
"Follow my instructions. Brother, just take out the magic stone when the time is right. Of course... we might encounter a concentrated attack from the enemy, so be careful. If we are outmatched, we must retreat."
"I see."
Su Lin nodded, stood up to prepare for battle, and glanced at Lyanna: "Let's go, let's get to work."
"Um."
Lyanna nodded silently and followed suit.
Before long, the two followed the path and, along with many elves, quickly approached the edge of the forest.
Through the dense forest cover, Su Lin could see a group of orc shamans pacing back and forth not far outside the forest, seemingly casting spells to scout ahead.
However, the forest elves provided Nature with even more powerful magical energy, so not only could these ordinary shamans not detect anything, but even a great shaman himself could not.
Beside this group of about a hundred shamans stood more than three hundred bear shield soldiers guarding them, and further behind them was an entire orc army, numerous in number, stretching to the horizon.
