Chapter 370 Accepting the Offer
"Captain?" Yuqian was the first to reply in the team channel. She still addressed Bai Lin as "Captain," and Bai Lin could almost see Yuqian crying with joy just from that short word. "At the habitat? I'm coming right away!"
"That's great! A lot has happened in the last two months..." Qiqi then said, seemingly having matured considerably in just a few months.
"Ah! It was my suggestion that they send the wounded to the habitat... You should agree with that, right..." Hagrid said. Bai Lin shrugged. Brother, could you explain the situation a little more first?
"The situation is not good. I need to reassess your current strength. Can you describe it in detail?" Lulu sent the last message. She was as calm as ever. It was clear that Bai Lin's sudden disappearance for two months had caused her a lot of trouble. She was in urgent need of a strong helper, so she asked Bai Lin to describe his current strength as soon as possible.
Bai Lin thought for a moment and said, "Below the gods, there are no rivals." He didn't know what level his abilities had reached, but he believed that he could crush anyone except the gods.
"..." Lulu was probably speechless after reading it. His words were really arrogant, but Lulu still chose to believe him: "Yuxi will explain the recent events to you. I hope you can enter the decision-making level of the Eastern Mage Legion as soon as possible."
Bai Lin had just closed the system channel when he saw a portal open not far away, and Youxi and Qiqi teleported over one after the other.
Bai Lin didn't hold back his longing for their reunion, giving the two a big hug. You Qian was dressed in an Eastern mage-style battle robe, with short, neat hair, looking travel-worn, as if she had just returned from the front lines of war. Qi Qi was dressed entirely in black field uniform, her face painted, but she wasn't carrying any weapons, presumably having used a teleportation item to return to her habitat, since rune equipment couldn't be used for teleportation.
Youxi led Bailin to the command center of the habitat, a stone house next to the elemental tower. Along the way, many wounded soldiers and medical staff nodded to her. It was clear that in Bailin's absence, Youxi had become the big sister of the habitat. The little girl had finally grown up.
"It's a long story..." Yuxi sighed softly.
It turned out that shortly after Bai Lin left, the international situation underwent some dramatic changes. The Western magic department framed the Eastern Magic Management Committee for the recent zombie outbreak without any evidence.
In just a few weeks, under the manipulation of the Western Ministry of Magic, many magical forces put pressure on the East, which caused the already weakened Eastern magic community to fall into chaos without a fight. Subsequently, the US Ministry of Magic made an extremely shameless request—to send magic observers to the East, ostensibly to thoroughly investigate whether the Eastern Magic Management Committee was the instigator of the zombie incident, but in reality to dismantle the Eastern magic community.
This naturally met with strong opposition from all sectors of the East. However, the US Ministry of Magic then dispatched a special operations squadron to raid the headquarters of the Eastern Magic Management Committee under the pretext of investigating the case.
"Outrageous! They really dare?!" Bai Lin almost jumped up in anger.
"Their intelligence system is too powerful, their grasp of information about the Eastern magic world is extremely accurate, it has definitely been planned for many years..." Yuxi paused and said, "Most importantly, their special forces broke through from underground, bypassing many of the magical defenses of the Eastern headquarters!"
"Ogres!" Bai Lin blurted out. Only the ogres living in the underground world could possibly travel thousands of miles underground to attack the Eastern headquarters from underground.
"Yes! They used dozens of trolls as the vanguard and employed a lot of unprecedented magic. The Eastern headquarters suffered heavy losses and was almost reduced to ruins..." Yuxi paused again and said, "Fortunately, they managed to assemble their newly formed combat team in time. Since Sister Yan hadn't returned yet, Qiqi and I led the team here, and we managed to cover the Supreme Council's evacuation."
Yuxi made it sound so easy, but Bai Lin could imagine the tension and helplessness they felt when they were given this critical mission. He also thought that the Eastern Magic Supreme Committee actually needed Yuxi and Qiqi's help to evacuate, which was truly embarrassing.
Qiqi, who had matured considerably, introduced the situation of the two combat teams. Yan Nishuang's team currently has 120 combat personnel, with 45 recently injured and recuperating in their habitat, which is why so many tents have been set up here. There are also 75 people divided into a magic team and a firearms team, led by Youxi and Qiqi respectively, to help the executive departments of the southern provinces deal with the possibility of surprise attacks by the US special forces at any time.
The other combat squad consisted of elites from an ancient Eastern magic sect. Having learned from the lessons of the last naval battle, they brought many magical artifacts that could be considered forbidden spells to assist the executive departments in the northern provinces.
"What kind of logic is this, guarding against thieves the other day!" Bai Lin gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could single-handedly raze the U.S. Ministry of Magic to the ground.

"Miss Lulu suspects that behind this are not only the US Ministry of Magic, but also the shadows of Fujiwara Ichiura's Ship of Light and the Church of Hastur..." Yuxi said.
"Hmph! Three dens of wolves have mingled together, do you think I can't lift a knife?" Bai Lin said fiercely.
"Captain, the Supreme Council hopes that you can meet with them after you return," Yuxi said.
"Ha, only when in dire straits do they think of recruiting talents without being bound by convention..." Bai Lin felt somewhat ironic. With his strength, apart from Yan Nishuang, no one in the Eastern magic world would pay attention to him after he returned to the East. Now that he can't beat them, they want to give him a few treats to trick him into fighting them to the death?
Bai Lin grew angrier the more he thought about it. If it were up to his nature, he would never have paid any attention to those high and mighty officials. He even wanted to persuade Yan Nishuang to leave the executive department and wander the world with him.
But when he thought about what he had seen and heard in the fragments of history, his worldview had changed a lot. In the eyes of the gods, what are humans? They are just upright primates living on an ordinary planet. Monsters eat people, but the gods don't care. In order to get rid of the Yamata no Orochi, Orisaga can destroy the entire area within hundreds of miles without hesitation, leaving no one alive.
But he is not a god; he has emotions and compassion. Bai Lin's "I" is no longer the "self" in the biological sense, but has extended to relatives, friends... and even a larger scope, such as the nation and country. Although he has not yet reached the level of the "superego," the consciousness of the "id" has awakened. He feels that he has power, and therefore he has the responsibility to protect the East.
"Take me there... If those demons and monsters dare to come, let them stay..." Bai Lin said coldly.
