"I think you need me more than the witch."
"Look, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you're already challenging a great person. You're really a worry."
"So you'll help me, right?" Jiang Kehan said matter-of-factly, smiling like a spoiled child.
Li Hui sighed helplessly, pinched her little face, and then spoke casually.
"Are you still asking?"
Then, the two of them chuckled.
Ms. Watanabe, standing to the side, couldn't help but look up, wondering if she was really getting old and had lost her sense of romance.
Nova, on the other hand, appeared calm, but in reality, she was about to break Angelie's terminal, relentlessly harassing her.
This wasn't just about her home being raided; she genuinely couldn't understand why Angela would risk her life to raid Li Hui's home!
It couldn't possibly be because of Jiang Kehan, could it?
However, after laughing, Li Hui became somewhat serious.
"Based on your own, unless you break through in the heat of battle, even with the spells you just used, it will be difficult to defeat Eva Carson."
"After all, the gap between the Great Witch and the End Realm is bigger than you think."
"Moreover, the other party is a great being who stands at the pinnacle of the end and begins to explore a higher path."
Jiang Kehan nodded and also became serious.
“I know, that’s why I don’t intend to confront Eva head-on. Even the fact that I need your help this time is to buy me as much time as possible.”
"To try to ascend to the hall of the end, and thus obtain that slim chance."
"I need you, Li Hui."
"I've always been so sure of it, and this time it's just that I'm being more direct."
Li Hui smacked his lips, and finally just gently tapped Jiang Kehan's head before speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Then leave it to me, Kehan."
"I haven't let you down, have I?"
"Besides... who said that this time I'm only representing myself?"
She smiled and gazed intently at her lover.
"Kehan, just go ahead and do it boldly. We, the people you protect, have never thought of leaving."
"Redemption is never a one-person affair, and neither is protection."
Unofficial tactic? Yi Lin started digging, seemingly feeding on a soothing, sulfurous Yueyi.
Jiang Kehan doesn't need this kind of thing.
Because the witches she protects will stand by her side countless times with the utmost steadfastness.
She herself is the biggest exception, a tactic powerful enough to destroy any conspiracy.
Moreover, Jiang Kehan herself is not someone to be underestimated.
Perhaps Eva knew this from the moment she issued the challenge, which is why she treated this enemy with such seriousness.
In this way, he understood what Jiang Kehan herself had overlooked.
Chapter 506 Even if the war is fake, that sense of despair is not.
Li Hui also brought goodwill from other witches this time.
The group of Fran witches saved by Jiang Kehan all volunteered to participate in this war and contribute to Jiang Kehan's cause.
Yes, it wasn't for the British Empire, or for the current Franco, but simply for Jiang Kehan.
Although on the surface they were saying strange things like testing the current level of the Fran Witch, the atmosphere inside and outside the Meowball Tavern was filled with joy.
But their laughter was so pure and beautiful.
Wu Yuhan and the other witches lent their alien army to Jiang Kehan, many of whom were elite soldiers.
Well, although it wasn't very useful to Jiang Kehan, it was enough to make her eyes sparkle.
Even Qingxue, whom Jiang Kehan hadn't seen in a long time and was reportedly busy graduating, sent her a potion she had personally concocted, reminding Jiang Kehan not to forget to rest no matter how busy she was.
"Honestly, how come they're all so cunning?" Jiang Kehan wiped the "sweat" from the corner of her eyes, pouted, and complained in a cute way.
However, there was not a trace of complaint in her words; instead, there was only gratitude.
The people around Jiang Kehan couldn't help but laugh out loud at her arrogant demeanor, creating a very joyful atmosphere.
After laughing enough, Li Hui pulled the group down to sit, then, with a serious expression, propped his chin up and asked.
"By the way, Kehan, have you decided on the specific tactics?"
The key to defeating Eva is to find a way to gain development time while she is away, so as to successfully achieve the final victory.
As usual, the witches outside the battlefield could use their terminals to monitor the situation, giving Jiang Kehan a chance to prove herself.
However, proving it requires strategy.
"Yes, I've made up my mind." Jiang Kehan nodded vigorously, her eyes shining.
"Just do what you do best!"
Ms. Watanabe raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile playing on her lips, and asked, "So, what you excel at is... combat?"
"No, fighting is just a means to move forward. What I'm really good at is saving people."
Jiang Kehan cupped her cheek and smiled as she spoke.
In fact, the kindness and gifts from others proved that she did a good job in this regard.
"Moreover, in war, besides those invincible madmen, the most eye-catching people are the saviors who reach out to them in their despair."
"On the one hand, it's somewhat unrealistic to expect to be invincible, especially with Eva's strategic planning."
"It's easy for the opponent to pull their hand away, cutting off my development time."
"To put it more maliciously, Eva may have already set up a trap in a key location, just waiting for me to fall into it."
Jiang Kehan sighed softly, feeling immense pressure.
"But becoming a firefighter on the battlefield is different, especially if the goal is not to change the course of the battle, but simply to save those witches who are in a losing situation."
"In this way, even Eva would have difficulty predicting my whereabouts, since even I don't know where I'm going next."
Although it is a simulated war, and the main force is alien races, it does not mean that the witch who acts as the leader will not participate.
In fact, the battles between witches can be much more intense at times.
They are capable of converting their achievements into substantial tangible benefits, and the government is never stingy with such contributions.
Moreover, each witch has only one life in the battlefield within a year; once used, she cannot enter again.
“Miss Kehan, there’s something I don’t understand,” Nova suddenly spoke up, asking earnestly.
"Life on the battlefield is more like a consumable for a witch. Why would you think this is an opportunity?"
"They probably won't be too moved."
In Nova's view, this behavior was actually somewhat thankless and exhausting.
Witches are always willing to accept defeat; if they lose, they lose, and they can always win it back next time. With this attitude, how much gratitude can they possibly feel even if they are saved?
As for the witch watching the live stream outside, it didn't matter at all.
What they wanted to see more was victory gradually tilting towards the British Empire, rather than who was being saved again.
But when they heard the question, both Ms. Watanabe and Li Hui laughed.
Jiang Kehan was also somewhat helpless, but looking at Nova, this doll who didn't understand human nature, she still kindly explained.
"Because even a simulated war is still a war."
"No matter what the witch is dealing with, she always goes all out, which also means that the despair that should exist in war also exists in simulated war."
"When the moment of death arrives, it means that the witch has exhausted all her means and can only helplessly look up at the dust rushing towards her."
"With a hint of regret and despair, I wait for the other party to strike with deadly force."
"Although the war was fake, the emotions at that moment were real."
"That yearning for hope and redemption is also real."
She spoke softly, as if she saw herself in the portal of time and space, gazing at the heavens in despair. If it weren't for Li Hui, she would have buried her head in tears countless times.
"Therefore, my actions were by no means worthless."
"On the contrary, that moment of emotion is enough to be remembered by the other person for a lifetime."
"After all, witches are beings of the mind; we are still vulnerable, even if we never show it."
"And the moment we reveal it, it means that there is no hope left, and we are only one step away from losing control."
Nova lowered her brow and whispered, "Is that so?"
“Of course it’s not just that.” Jiang Kehan raised her head with some pride, staring intently at Nova, and said.
"If I only saved one witch, perhaps viewers outside the war wouldn't care, but what if that number expanded to a thousand, or even ten thousand?"
"As long as I keep going, one day I will see the dawn."
"And...it is precisely because of the initial foolishness that when it truly changes everything, it becomes so awe-inspiring."
"After all, even they themselves don't care about their lives in simulated warfare, but some people do."
"If this person really changes everything, wouldn't that be enough to shut them up and make them realize that someone actually cares about them?"
Jiang Kehan's voice was like clear spring water, producing a crisp echo.
Nova, who was oblivious to human nature, was somewhat dazed, and Angela, who had been standing outside the door for a long time and had quietly listened to Jiang Kehan's words, applauded.
"The things you don't care about, someone else cares about for you."
"What a wonderful love confession! I don't think any witch could remain unmoved by it."
"However, only you would have the courage to say something like that, Kehan."
Her eyes held a strange look. Even though her path was built on a deep love for all witches, she had never imagined such a brilliant yet foolish deed.
