Time passed by minute by minute, and the surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the restored leaves. Yan Hao and the other two looked around vigilantly, and from time to time they looked at the sky in the distance.

A few hours later, just as everyone was getting anxious, there was a sudden roar in the sky. Then, several fighter jets escorted two transport planes across the sky like lightning and landed steadily on the ground. The hatch opened and dozens of soldiers filed out.

Among these people, there were the Elf Special Forces team led by Jiang Ying and him, as well as a team from the Third Elf Special Forces led by Ye Zihui. They were all in high spirits, with determination and excitement in their eyes.

Seeing Yan Hao, Jiang Ying immediately ran over, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Brother Hao, you are amazing! You actually found Xerneas to help us, that's amazing!"

Yan Hao smiled slightly and replied modestly: "Haha, luck, just good luck."

"However, now that you are here, I will withdraw first. I don't like dealing with people in officialdom. A free and easy life suits me better." Yan Hao lowered his voice and whispered to Jiang Ying.

After hearing this, Jiang Ying showed a trace of regret on his face, but still nodded in understanding: "Okay, then you should be careful. But to be honest, I think the people in the officialdom are not as you think. There are many excellent talents among them, and after the success of this operation, you will definitely be highly commended. Do you want to consider joining our Elf Special Forces?"

Yan Hao shook his head and said firmly: "Thank them for their kindness on my behalf, but I prefer a free and easy life. Just like the lyrics say, 'Forgive me for my unruly and indulgent love of freedom'. After traveling for this period of time, I understand that this is what I pursue. Please help me deal with this commendation. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he waved to Jiang Ying, then summoned a night owl, sat on it, and flew away. Looking at Yan Hao's departing back, Jiang Ying smiled helplessly.

"Ah..." Jiang Ying sighed in his heart: It is true. He couldn't help but feel puzzled and regretful: Why are the brothers unwilling to join the army? Is military life really that unattractive to them?

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a warm hand patting his shoulder gently.

"What's wrong? The guy just now must be Yan Hao, right? He's really young and promising! This time it was all thanks to him that General Li and the others were rescued. After I go back, I will apply to my higher-ups to give this guy a big commendation." Ye Zihui said with emotion, his tone revealing his admiration and praise for Yan Hao.

"Oh, nothing. He is indeed Yan Hao. This time it was really all thanks to him that we found Xerneas. But he doesn't like these troublesome things, so forget about the praise, General Ye." Jiang Ying waved his hand gently and explained.

"Oh, that's fine. The country will definitely give some rewards anyway. Since he doesn't want to show up in public, it will be given directly to you. You can pass it on to him." Ye Zihui nodded in understanding, indicating that he understood Jiang Ying's meaning and proposed a solution.

"Well, OK." Jiang Ying nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Ye Zihui's proposal. After all, this was also a reasonable arrangement that would allow Yan Hao to get the recognition and rewards he deserved, while also respecting his casual personality.

Afterwards, everyone started to get busy, carefully carrying everyone on the ground onto the plane. With the roar of the engine, the plane slowly took off and embarked on the journey back to Dragon Country.

After returning to Dragon Country, Li Jianye and his companions were immediately sent to the military's healing center to replenish their lost energy. Li Jianye and his companions' lives were now completely dependent on Xerneas's life energy. If they could not replenish their energy immediately, it might take a long time for them to regain consciousness with Xerneas's life energy.

At the same time, Ye Zihui and Jiang Ying were sitting in a conference room, discussing the next plan.

"Since General Li has been successfully rescued, can we start dealing with Cao Yu?" Ye Zihui asked.

Jiang Ying shook her head and said, "It's not appropriate at the moment. We have to wait for General Li to wake up before we can act together. We have Cao Yu from the special forces as a witness, as well as important evidence such as laboratory data. When General Li wakes up, General Ye can go with him to report Major General Cao Yu."

Ye Zihui thought about it and realized that it was true. They had not reported Major General Cao Yu because they were worried that the person behind him was too powerful. If only the two of them reported, it might not succeed, but would bring disaster to themselves. But if they could wait for General Li to come together, and the two experienced generals reported together, the person behind him would not dare to show up easily.

Ye Zihui agreed with Jiang Ying's idea and nodded in agreement, then asked when General Li would wake up. Because Li Jianye and others were currently in a vegetative state, although their body functions were normal, they had not woken up.

Jiang Ying replied that she didn't know, but she thought it wouldn't take too long. Since Xerneas had rescued them, it was possible that they still had some death energy left in their bodies from Yveltal's petrification, and it would only take some time for them to recover.

During the days of waiting, Jiang Ying went to the training ground every day to train the elves, and time passed unnoticed. Finally, two days later, Jiang Ying received the news that Li Jianye had woken up. He immediately took back the elves and rushed to the healing center.

After arriving at Li Jianye's ward and pushing open the door, Jiang Ying saw Li Jianye leaning back and chatting with the doctor who cured him. There was also a doll next to the doctor watching them.

"General, you're awake!" Jiang Ying hurried forward.

"Haha, yes Jiang Ying! I really survived a disaster!" Li Jianye laughed when he saw the person coming.

"General, are you okay? How do you feel now?" Jiang Ying asked with concern.

"Haha, it's okay. Doctor Zhang said that my physical condition is now completely normal. I'm doing very well." Li Jianye said to the doctor next to him.

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, "That's true. General Li's body has now fully recovered to the level of a normal person, and there is a special energy in his body that nourishes his body. This energy can not only quickly restore his previous physical fitness, but may even make him stronger."
