Armor: I'm in Nava, but I'm Oxer?

Zhang Zhao looked at Ku Fens's determined eyes.

Does he already have a girlfriend, Lili?

Judging from the conversation between Joe Sheffield and Kufens at that time, it seems that if the Ares and Earthlings were to unite, the Ares' long lifespan would cease to exist, and they would be born, grow old, get sick and die, with a lifespan of only a few decades.

"Of course I will agree to your request."

Zhang Zhao agreed to Ku Fens' request.

Shall we have a fight?

It's such a simple thing.

"Then let's go over there..."

After receiving an affirmative answer.

Ku Fens led Zhang Zhao and the others in another direction. He knew the area well, as few people passed by there.

"Please give me your guidance, General!"

Ku Fens bowed to Zhang Zhao.

To show respect.

His behavior was, strictly speaking, somewhat presumptuous.

"what……"

An angry shout.

A monster with two horns on its head appeared.

He hasn't looked like this in a long time.

Ever since his defeat a thousand years ago, he has grown to loathe himself in this state.

But this time it's to protect my own life.

We have to give it our all.

Qiao Shefei and Bayobi watched from the sidelines. To be precise, they hadn't actually witnessed Zhang Zhao's skills yet, and they were still slightly curious about the new commander's abilities.

The commander-in-chief is the master of an army. He commands the generals, leads the soldiers, formulates strategies, and determines victory or defeat.

Strategizing within the command tent, winning battles a thousand miles away.

A commander with wisdom can discern the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, assess the situation and strategize accordingly, ensuring the army's movements are purposeful and battles are well-planned. A commander with courage can intimidate the entire army, remain fearless in the face of danger, lead his troops forward, and break through the enemy's elite forces.

After watching Kufens' transformation.

Zhang Zhao was thinking about what form of attack to use.

Armor or Oukser?

But at this time...

Zhang Zhao no longer concealed his presence.

A white ice storm swept through.

The King of Oxel has appeared.

Such a powerful aura! Bayob and Joe Sheffield felt an innate fear of this power within their blood. This fear was hard to dispel, and their bodies seemed to be out of control, their knees gradually bending, almost to the point of kneeling down.

Ku Fens, standing opposite Zhang Zhao, was under even greater pressure.

Can't beat it.

This was the first thought that came to mind.

We still have to fight.

because……

"Lili..." Kufensi murmured the name in his heart, his eyes revealing endless tenderness and determination.

Lili is like a flower on the Panlam grassland, sacred and pure.

On this blue and white planet, Kufens never imagined he would meet such a wonderful girl.

Her appearance was like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating the once dark world of Kufens.

Lily changed his previous impression of these inferior beings.

The former Kufens, after his defeat a thousand years ago, had always loathed his monstrous appearance.

He wandered the world, lonely and lost. However, Lili's appearance changed everything.

With her kindness, courage, and understanding, she accepted Kufensi, making him feel warmth and care he had never experienced before.

Lili was a major turning point in Kufens's life.

But Lili accepted Kufensi and Qiuqiu.

Instead of the Crimson Captain from Ares's Nether Legion.

He wanted to spend his whole life with Lili, just that short life. Kufens thought the Ares gene code was very romantic; after uniting with the one you love, your long life would end, and you could grow old together.

This will prevent the tragic situation of having to personally send one's loved one to their grave.

That kind of life is so meaningless.

This battle must be won with the general's approval!

Go for it! Go for it!

His girlfriend Lili's voice rang in Kufensi's ears, giving him strength.

what?

With its powerful perception.

Zhang Zhao could sense the fluctuations in Ku Fens's willpower.

A continuous rise.

It's like a righteous protagonist having to face a demon king he's no match for in order to protect his lover.

"Sigh, love-struck..."

Zhang Zhao shook his head.

He truly felt that Lufa's Netherworld Legion's spiritual and cultural development was inadequate.

How can I let a woman affect the speed at which I draw my sword?

"General! Please enlighten me!"

Kufens was at his peak, even though he had not experienced battle for a thousand years.

Qiao Shefei looked at Ku Fens in this state and was somewhat dazed; it was a look he had rarely seen before.

…………

Kufens roared, his figure as swift as a cheetah as he charged straight at Zhang Zhao. His fist was clenched tightly, and red energy continuously gathered on it—the powerful force of the Crimson Nether Demon—the Vajra Fist.

After the standard equipment of the Vajra Armor.

He also mastered the Vajra Fighting Technique.

With unstoppable momentum, Ku Fens threw a punch at Zhang Zhao. The wind from the punch howled, as if it could tear the air apart.

Zhang Zhao remained calm, simply shifting his body slightly to easily dodge the fierce attack.

Then, with a gentle flick of his hand, Kufens was forced to retreat repeatedly by the powerful force.

Kufens felt as if his chest had been frozen.

It's awful, so painful!

But Ku Fens did not back down, which was what a warrior had to do. He steadied himself, gathered his strength again, and his fist smashed towards Zhang Zhao like a meteor.

Zhang Zhao calmly raised one hand and gently blocked, thus neutralizing Ku Fens's attack.

Ku Fens gritted his teeth and unleashed a barrage of Vajra Fist punches, the shadowy fists raining down on Zhang Zhao like a storm. However, Zhang Zhao remained unfazed, accurately blocking each of Ku Fens' attacks.

Zhang Zhao's counterattacks, however, always resulted in Ku Fens falling to the ground.

The difference in strength alone cannot be overcome by skill.

Ku Fens was anxious, knowing that his attacks would have almost no effect on Zhang Zhao.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and prepared to unleash the Vajra Mountain and Sea Fist.

This is what he realized...

He closed his eyes, sensing the energy around him, and slowly gathered power in his fist. A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful shockwave shot out from his fist, heading straight for Zhang Zhao.

The shockwave rushed straight towards Zhang Zhao, but the bone armor on his back provided natural defense.

It blocked the attack directly.

Ku Fens stood up again, his eyes burning with an indomitable flame. He roared and unleashed his Wrathful Charge, charging towards Zhang Zhao like a burning meteor.

"Boom..."

Zhang Zhao opened up an ice wall.

Kufens rammed into it hard.

The enormous impact did not shatter the solid ice.

Instead, he was the one who got bounced away.

He then opened his mouth and unleashed a raging breath, the flames rushing towards Zhang Zhao like a giant dragon.

Zhang Zhao remained calm. With a gentle wave of his hand, an even thicker ice wall rose from the ground. The raging flames crashed against the ice wall, making a "sizzling" sound. The flames gradually died down, but the ice wall only melted a little.

No matter what tricks Ku Fens used, Zhang Zhao was able to catch them with ease.

Zhang Zhao watched as Ku Fensi fought desperately.

But he didn't hold back. After blocking Kufens who was wielding a weapon once again, he swung his palm again, sending Kufens flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Kufens lay on the ground, covered in wounds, feeling that he had no strength left.

He looked at Zhang Zhao, his eyes filled with helplessness and despair. He knew that he was no match for Zhang Zhao no matter what.

But the flame of protection ignited in Kufens' eyes.

Burn away the helplessness and despair.

They charged forward again.

……

Repeatedly.

After the battle had lasted for ten minutes.

He completely lost his strength.

fell to the ground.

It transformed back into its original form as a Netherworld Demon.

Kufens lay on the ground, panting heavily, his injuries making every movement incredibly difficult.

But the belief in protecting what he had was burning like a flame, driving him to try to stand up again.

He gritted his teeth, braced himself with his hands on the ground, and tried his best to lift himself up.

However, just as he managed to prop himself up a little, his arm trembled, and he fell heavily back down. A look of pain crossed Kufens's face.

He tried again, this time pushing himself against the ground even harder and straining his legs as well.

Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body trembled slightly from the exertion.

Finally, he managed to sit up, but before he could regain his balance, a wave of dizziness hit him, and he almost collapsed again.

Qiao Shefei rushed to help him up.

"Did I succeed, General?"

Ku Fens immediately inquired with Zhang Zhao.

"Hahaha……"

"I admire your fighting spirit, but I don't like that you've gone to this lengths for a woman..."

Upon hearing the first half of Zhang Zhao's sentence.

Kufensi was delighted.

The second half of what he said chilled him to the bone.

The general did see through it after all...

Ku Fens had silently acknowledged Zhang Zhao as a general, not a novice. Zhang Zhao's fighting prowess had completely won him over, and he couldn't see where Zhang Zhao's bottom line lay at all.

Zhang Zhao slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly mocking smile. A sly glint flashed in his deep eyes, as if everything was under his control.

With a flash of light, Zhang Zhao deactivated his transformation.

"I mean, what if I found the person you love and captured them? As long as you fight well, I'll let you see each other once a day. Just like you did just now, what do you think? That way, you can be with the person you love, and I'll get a fearless, reckless fighter..."

"Kufens, think about it carefully."

Zhang Zhao's voice was deep and magnetic, carrying a hint of threat. "I can give you what you want, but you must also give me something in return. It's a fair trade, isn't it?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Kufens, awaiting his answer.

…………

It felt like a thorn in my back, a fishbone stuck in my throat, or sitting on pins and needles.

Kufensi's feelings were indescribable.

It seems like I simply can't refuse.

This is a conspiracy.

He couldn't refuse this open conspiracy.

But it was so vicious.

…………

"The one you love? Who?"

Even with Qiao Shefei's sharp mind, he was confused by the latter part of Zhang Zhao and Ku Fens's words.

This person is real and exists.

Judging from Akku's behavior, it seems that there really is such a person.

But who did he fall in love with?

The entire Netherworld Legion only has one Kula.

Captain and vice-captain?

It is not impossible.

bless……

No, that's not right...

Qiao Shefei still couldn't understand it.

…………

Ku Fensi's eyes widened in anger, his heart filled with resentment, wishing he could curse Zhang Zhao to the point of tearing him apart.

He gritted his teeth and thought, "You general, you are utterly treacherous and fickle! You promised to settle things with me in one battle, but now you're resorting to such despicable tactics, using your beloved as leverage. You are shameless and unscrupulous!"

However, Kufensi swallowed the words back down.

He suddenly realized that from beginning to end, he had allowed Zhang Zhao to set the rules, and that he had chosen to trust this new general. He was filled with remorse, but had no one to blame but himself, so he could only swallow his bitterness and remain silent.

If I spread those insults, I might lose even my own people...

He felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his suffering. At that moment, he was filled with helplessness and confusion, unsure how to cope with this sudden predicament.

"General, could you please stop making things difficult for Kufens?"

Joe Sheffield wanted to plead for Kufrens.

"It's a dilemma, but isn't this a win-win solution?"

Zhang Zhao raised his eyebrows.

I didn't go to see them.

Kufens and Qiao Shefei both fell silent. They had to admit that Zhang Zhao's words did indeed make some sense. To some extent, it really did seem like a win-win solution.

But this life is just too turbulent.

why why……

Why is this new general so ruthless?

Kufensi wanted to cry but had no tears.

Meanwhile, Bayob could only stand by, trembling with fear.

I can't get involved.

Zhang Zhao found the miserable expressions on the faces of Ku Fens, Qiao Shefei, and Bayobi quite amusing. Their helpless, conflicted, or terrified looks were like a vivid painting unfolding before him.

As time ticked by, their hearts grew heavier, unsure of what decision Zhang Zhao would make next.

However, just when they were almost suffocating from the oppressive atmosphere, Zhang Zhao suddenly burst into laughter.

His hearty laughter echoed through the air, leaving Fen Si and the others stunned. They stared at Zhang Zhao in astonishment, their hearts filled with doubt and unease.

This general was not only ruthless, but also extremely mentally unstable!

They all thought the same thing in their hearts.

Just moments ago, they were using their beloved to blackmail Kufens, but now he's inexplicably laughing, leaving them completely baffled.

Ku Fens frowned, a strong sense of unease rising within him. He didn't know what Zhang Zhao's laughter meant—was it mocking their weakness, or was there some other conspiracy?

Qiao Shefei also looked at Zhang Zhao nervously, trying to find a clue from his expression.

Bayob was even more frightened. He huddled to one side, trembling, afraid that Zhang Zhao's emotional changes would bring him disaster.

Zhang Zhao laughed for a while before gradually stopping.

"Just because I said it doesn't mean I will do it."

"The people you love will eventually become a burden to you. If I don't do this, won't other enemies do the same? Until the problem is solved, none of you can be ordinary people..."

Helping people achieve enlightenment is also one of Zhang Zhao's pleasures.

Otherwise, forcing these people to change their roles would be possible, but that would defeat the purpose of being a commander.

A mechanical Kufens and a Kufens that just went into overdrive are obviously more powerful. Zhang Zhao firmly believes that the subjective initiative of intelligent beings can enhance human combat power.

Don't you see, the finale is a matter of mind...
