Armor: The opening lane mage saved me

Lufa acquires its 13000th energy crystal

50% of the target of 26001 satellites has been achieved.

Jim Star Outer Space

The Afars emerged from the wormhole.

Afars, Command Room

"Louis, Anmicius, George Sheffield, Cousinus"

Louis and others are ready to give orders at any time.

“Louis, Joe Sheffield, and Kufens are to take down the Energy Crystal within 100 hours.”

"Yes"

"You've done well these past few years. In just 450 years, we've acquired 13000 energy crystals, and that tyrant Peer was completely unaware. I think it won't be long before this callous fellow is ousted from power," Lufa said.

Qiao Shefei scoffed, "I really don't know what those armored troops are doing now. I think it's because they don't have a general to lead them. I guess all they do now is eat, drink, and have fun. Otherwise, why wouldn't they react at all?"

"When we get back, we must retrain them properly. They've completely destroyed the prestige of Ares' armored army," Kufens said angrily.

"Well, the legacy of our excellent armor is now in your hands. During this transition period, no soldier should slacken their efforts."

"Yes"

The Afar spacecraft arrives in space around Gimstar.

“Gilabu, the commander of the guards on Planet Jim, is a ruthless character. Bring him back alive. I need to retrain some of the demoralized men and rekindle their fighting spirit,” Lufa said.

Louis and the others all looked at Anmicius, clearly referring to his son.

"An Miu Xiu, you don't need to go this time."

Ninety hours after the Netherworld Legion launched its attack

Lu Fa walked from the main seat to An Miu Xiu's side.

"Are you still thinking about why you're fighting?"

An Miu Xiu respectfully replied, "I wouldn't dare. I understand the General's good intentions. The only way for the General to bring us back to Ares with dignity is to do so."

Lufa shook his head. "Is that all you understand? That's far from enough. No wonder you have pity for the enemy."

"Subordinates dare not"

"In the previous battles, you revealed our plans to those who deserved to die, allowing them to escape the planet. Did you think I didn't know?" Lufa's eyes flashed coldly.

An Miu Xiu's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly knelt down, "This subordinate knows his crime, please punish me, General."

Lu Fa beckoned him to get up. "Get up. The key to military strategy lies in knowing people and assigning them to suitable positions. Your weakness is your indecisiveness, so I have laid ambushes for you every time you go on a campaign."

On their escape route, I had Louis and his men eliminate them one by one.

Louis did this better than you; he was ruthless. You didn't actually rebel, and they couldn't escape their fate of destruction.

An Miu said, “General, I have no pity for the enemy, but the life on these planets was living in peace and happiness before we came. They were not our enemies. I originally thought we came here because we had to take their energy crystals.”

"Isn't this exactly what we need?"

An Miu closed his eyes, unable to bear it, and said, "Planetary energy crystals are the essence of a planet used to create magnetic fields, gravity, oxygen, and other life-giving forces. Losing energy crystals is equivalent to ending the future, that is, the life of the next generation. But we are not enough. We have to cruelly destroy even the happiness in front of them."

Lufa said cruelly, "This is a last resort. In order to reclaim everything that belongs to us, those who sacrificed themselves can only be said to have had their fate."

An Miu Xiu retorted, "General, we are an army of justice. Since our formation, we have been fighting for justice and peace in the galaxy. Your brothers are willing to join you in declaring war on the enemy for the humiliation and injustice you have suffered this time."

For the general, we would die without regret, without hesitation, just as George Sheffield said, we are willing to fight our way back to Ares for the general, and I will certainly be the first to charge. But now, to sacrifice so many innocent lives, I am truly perplexed.”

Lu Fa retorted angrily, "You bastard, what do you know? Let me tell you what justice is. I have fought for justice for thousands of years, but in the end, I am like a stray dog, leaving behind my family and land. Who has stood up for me? Who has spoken up for me and said a word of justice?"

What is justice? Justice is just the high-sounding nonsense spouted by the winners. If you're a loser, there's no justice for you.

Since you are willing to risk unforgivable crimes to follow me, I have a responsibility to lead you back to Ares with unparalleled glory, no matter how many lives are sacrificed along the way, no matter how many bullshit principles are violated; to me, this is merely a process.

An Miu Xiu was puzzled: "Incredibly glorious? Is it really glorious to have blood on your hands? We have many blood debts that are deeply etched on our bodies."

"I have only one goal: whoever owes me, I will make them pay double; as for that tyrant, I will take his dog's life."

"Didn't they say before that they wanted to remove him from office?"

Lufa's eyes hardened: "Didn't you say that our hands are already stained with blood? The debts I owe have changed my mind. I will put all these debts on his head until the moment I end his life. Only then can he repay the debts he owes me and soothe the grievances I have suffered over the years."

Our current situation is all thanks to him. Everything we do now is due to his coercion.

An Miu looked at Lu Fa in disbelief. The general had become a stranger, bloodthirsty and cruel. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Yes, I understand."

"Reporting to the general, Jilab has been detained by our army in a zero-gravity cell awaiting trial."

Lu Fa looked at An Miu Xiu, "If you really understand, then go and help me remove this thorn in my flesh."

"Yes"

On the way there, Anmishiu encountered Louis.

He paused, then said to Louis, "Brother, why can't we give those innocent people a way to live?"

Louis looked at him, "Brother Anne."

Louis, of course, understood what Anmicius meant.

"Ares warriors don't kill civilians who can't fight," Anmishiu looked at Louis with confusion.

Louis didn't know how to answer him. After a long pause, he said, "A soldier's duty is to obey orders."

Louis knew in his heart that the civilians were innocent, but the invaders would not let them go. Just like the humiliating history of his homeland before he traveled back in time, a kind nation was bullied by a hateful little country, and even more hateful was the use of these civilian prisoners of war for inhumane live experiments. History must not be forgotten.

The suffering brought about by war is borne by ordinary people. How unjust!

Louis sighed as he watched Anmicius's retreating figure.

But the thought of going back to see Earth soon is something to cherish.

In the prison

Afterwards, Anmishiu and Jirabu

You slash me with a knife, I swat you with a stick; Lu Fa curses in front of the screen.

Anmishiu wanted to let Jilab go, so he deliberately allowed himself to be taken hostage. Then Lufa appeared, gave his old friend a quick death, and taught Anmishiu a severe lesson.

Dark Squad Cabin

"team leader"

"team leader"

Upon seeing their captain arrive, they all stood up to greet him.

"Everyone has worked hard. Please sit down and rest," Louis said softly.

Cupid walked over. "Captain, the three suits of armor we smuggled from Ares can't be mass-produced on the warships right now."

It's not that the existing equipment is ineffective.

However, Louis made the decision to acquire these three sets of armor on his own, hoping they would be useful when he returned to Earth. Lufa and the others were unaware of this.

"Keep it for now. There will be opportunities later."

Louis didn't explain much.
