Armor: The opening lane mage saved me

夜晚

The entire Netherworld Legion has been resurrected; all their weapons and equipment have returned, and their energy has been restored.

Everyone knelt on one knee, in perfect unison, their eyes burning with fervor as they looked at one person over there.

It was their leader, Lufa.

"Soldiers, rise!"

Upon hearing the sound, the crowd drew their weapons.

Everyone stood up.

"Warriors, glorious warriors of Ares."

I know you all have questions in your hearts. You must all be wondering where Captain Gray and Captain Dark have gone.

"I can now tell you that Captain Gray has gone to carry out the secret mission I assigned. There are no secrets between us and my glorious Ares warriors." Lufa's impassioned speech still aroused suspicion among his followers.

"General, where did Captain Dark Nether go?"

"Yes, it's been a long time since we've seen Captain Dark Nether."

Those who had met Louis chose to remain silent. For example, Banares, Sharman...

Lufa did not answer them either, until

"I've kept you waiting for a long time."

A voice came from not far away.

Louis walked slowly with steady steps, followed closely by his teammates.

The eyes of everyone in the Netherworld Legion turned to them, their gazes filled with admiration, relief, apprehension, and resentment.

The members of this squad were all covered in black patterns. Their leader, Louis, wore a black cloak that billowed in the wind, making him appear imposing, and the nine Xiangliu heads on his chest added to the intimidating aura.

It exudes a powerful aura.

As Louis and his group drew closer, the entire squad seemed to exude an invisible pressure, like a heavy mountain slowly pressing down upon them.

The team members, including Qiao Shefei, Ku Fens, Shabin, Kula, and Balu, all sensed an aura that was different from before.

This aura is even more noble, and even more oppressive.

The Dark Netherworld members approached Lu Fa, with the captain in front and the team members lined up in a row.

"Greetings, General!" they shouted in unison.

Darkness returns

The news of Darkness's return left Lu Fa's soldiers in a daze. However, before they could fully process the news, Lu Fa dropped another bombshell.

"Soldiers!" Lufa's voice echoed throughout the hall, his gaze sweeping over each person. "From this moment forward, all actions of the legion will be arranged and commanded by Louis. Do you have any opinions or suggestions regarding my decision?"

As soon as Lu Fa finished speaking, a huge uproar ensued. Many soldiers began to discuss among themselves, their faces showing confusion and bewilderment.

"General, what do you mean by this?"

"Do you intend to hand over power to Louis?"

Another person chimed in, "General, we've always followed your orders. Why are you suddenly putting Louis in command?"

Despite the doubts and confusion of the crowd, Lu Fa remained remarkably calm.

......

"What on earth is going on?" Kula patted her captain, she didn't understand why the general would suddenly hand over power to Louis.

Kufens didn't speak, but exchanged a glance with Sabin.

It seems to mean, "It's up to you now."

"Tell me. What exactly happened between my junior brother and the general?"

The hot-tempered Kula held a knife to Sabin's neck, demanding an explanation.

Sabin: Is this how you beg for help?

"Hey, hey, don't rush. Put the knife down first."

Then Sabin told Kula the whole story, and Kula's expression turned strange. She knew Lufa; how could Lufa possibly relinquish power?

His gaze returned to Louis in front of him.

And Louis began to speak.

"Brothers, you have all worked hard over the years."

I will definitely lead you to clear your names of the injustices and grievances we have suffered. Believe me, I will soon bring my brothers home.

Come back home

These words are so simple, yet so heavy.

They fought bravely for their country, but the end result was that they had to leave their homes and families.

How long has it been since they've been home? Everyone in the legion has considered the possibility of dying out there, but no one has ever thought about whether they'll actually be able to go home.

Louis's words undoubtedly resonated with many.

"go home."

"go home."

"go home."

At this moment, they really didn't want to care about anything, nor did they want to fight; all they wanted to do was go home.

Looking at Louis standing in front of her, Kula felt very gratified.

"After all these years, my junior brother has become more mature and composed."

Looking at her junior brother before her, Kula couldn't help but think of 1521 and sighed.

1521 was also their junior brother; in a sense, Louis was 1521's senior brother.

"Junior brother, you're married, and you have a daughter," Shabin whispered in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Kula's face turned cold again, her eyes flashing with anger.

What else are you hiding from me?

"Uh, let my junior brother tell you." With his sword at his side again, Sabin dared not say another word.

The mobilization is over

Apart from the three captains and four vice-captains who stayed behind, everyone else left.

Louis then told everyone present, including Louis, about receiving the message from Ares.

"I never expected Ares to be beset by internal and external troubles," Sabin said gravely, his voice heavy with a hint of helplessness.

He had anticipated that Ares might face some difficulties, but he never expected the situation to be so bad.

Lufa frowned slightly. "Louis is an ambitious fellow. Before he completely fell out with Pierre, I warned him that this man was untrustworthy and should not be kept around."

Lufa originally believed that Pierre was capable of managing the planet, but the facts proved that he had misjudged his abilities.

"It's a pity that Peel didn't heed my advice, which is ridiculous. I overestimated Peel."

Intrigue and scheming alone cannot effectively govern a planet. True leaders need wisdom, courage, and responsibility, qualities that Peer clearly lacks.

"But this is fine too, we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

"Peel is unpopular and will be out of office sooner or later. I heard he has been accumulating wealth and accepting bribes on a large scale."

"Don't forget, everyone, Colt's squad is very likely already on its way."

"We should think about how to deal with them," Cupid reminded him from the side.

Kufens's face showed a hint of disdain, and his eyes revealed contempt: "With just these four squads, you think you can take down our entire legion? You are underestimating us too much!" His contempt for the enemy was evident in his words.

“General, please leave these enemies to me. To think that four squads can defeat us is outrageous!” Kufens volunteered to the general, his voice filled with confidence and determination.

“Captain Ku, although they are outnumbered, we cannot ignore their advantages, such as armor and shuttles. We, on the other hand, have no armor protection and are practically just flesh and blood. What’s more, they also have a Colt.”

Sabin stood up to express his opposition, knowing full well that people from the Crimson Netherworld were impulsive and prone to acting rashly.

You, Kufens, might be able to take on three at once, but your men might not be. Sabin doesn't want to see innocent soldiers die in vain.

"Are you scared? You people of the Gray Nether are so cowardly." Kufens sneered.

Upon hearing this, Sabin's face darkened: "What did you say?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if an invisible gunpowder was emanating between the two, and a fight seemed inevitable.

Just then, Lufa stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "Enough! Private fights are forbidden within the legion!"

His voice carried an unquestionable authority, causing both Kufens and Sabin to temporarily suppress their hostility.

Lufa turned to Louis and said calmly, "Louis, tell me. This Colt is somehow related to you, isn't he?"

The question returned to Louis, and everyone's attention focused on him, waiting for his answer.

Louis remained fearless, coldly replying, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Just hand over this defeated opponent to me."

Faced with absolute power, any schemes and tricks are futile. Louis had complete confidence that he could meet any challenge.
