My wife is the stand-in.

The heroes blocked the demon's path, assuming the soldiers could only stand by or push them, thus making their retaliation seem like deliberate provocation.

What no one expected was that modern technology has developed to the point where ordinary people cannot understand it.

The soldiers moved with heavy steps but were not slow; on the contrary, they were quite agile. Although they could not twist their bodies, these clumsy fellows still managed to attract the attention of the knights-errant.

As they approached the swordsmen and formed a defensive network, they suddenly took larger strides, using their flexible joints to build up momentum before leaping.

With the help of propulsion equipment and mechanical structures, these battery-powered exoskeleton armors, which recharge every four hours, crossed the human wall and arrived between Amanosaki and the heroes.

The large gun, resembling a nail gun, fired specially designed short-range armor-piercing rounds, blasting the insects with chitinous exoskeletons and the demonic skin covered in thick hair to shreds.

Then insert the chainsaw sword into the wound. No need to stir; the frantically spinning chainsaw will bite into the flesh on its own, dislocating tendons and bones. Then, simply pull it out, and any demon will be in excruciating pain.

All the warriors' moves and tactics were exactly the same, as if they were shadow clones of the same person.

Silent, efficient, and ruthless.

It's like a microcosm of the entire industrial society on the battlefield, carrying a chilling feeling.

There was no noisy competition or clamor among heroes; these soldiers communicated via electronic devices, and it didn't matter who was inside the sealed exoskeleton.

"Damn it!" Li Junzi shuddered at the sight, growing increasingly disgusted with the exoskeleton named Wu Zu.

This didn't match his ideal scenario of dealing with evil spirits and heretics; it wasn't exciting or passionate, just cold-blooded.

Li Junzi tilted his head and thought for a long time. He felt that if slaying demons and eliminating evil was like a love-hate relationship between lovers, then the knight-errant and the evil spirit must be passionately intense.

And these people...

"It feels like fucking a wooden stake, oh, I mean a doll."

Li Junzi clapped his hands suddenly, feeling that he had finally understood everything he had learned from his elder brother all night. He now knew how to use the metaphor of matters between men and women, and he did it quite well.

He couldn't wait to share his thoughts with the other heroes around him, which drew a chorus of exclamations like, "You're kidding me!" and "Wow! You can still think about women at a time like this."

Although everyone criticized Li Junzi, their eyes were more or less strange as they looked at the silent tin cans.

It was both laughable and pitiful.

Moving wooden stakes...hehe!

The soldiers had no idea why, but they noticed that although the knights were eager to kill, they couldn't help but laugh like idiots when they looked at them.

"Hurry up! Otherwise, these bastards will snatch it all!"

Amanosaki urged them on, his weapon never stopping. Seeing this, Number 3 used his gun, loaded with armor-piercing rounds, to smash any blind demons blocking his way. He also wielded his chainsaw more skillfully than the other soldiers.

It's obvious that he has a solid foundation in martial arts.

"Amanosaki! Tell your men to stop!"

Number 3 sounded a bit anxious.

A chivalrous warrior can easily defeat a demon of the same level by relying on special operations experience, while a mere soldier would find it difficult to kill a demon.

However, just as Napoleon meant by comparing Mamluks and French soldiers, the effects of discipline and obedience training on the battlefield are unmatched by individual brute force... well, at least on Earth.

Therefore, the combined strength of 150 elite soldiers gives them an overwhelming advantage over the smaller, weaker enemies.

One hundred and fifty armor-piercing rounds, one hundred and fifty chainsaw swords and steel fists are enough to take care of the remaining demons.

Number 3, a former soldier, clearly didn't know how to chat with people from all walks of life, or rather, from all corners of society; his very first sentence was fatal.

Amanosaki gave number 3 a strange look and tilted his head.

Hinata Hyuga, who had been watching from the cliff, cheered and jumped down, immediately using Gentle Fist. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, crushed the demon like a millstone.

The Spear of Longchinus can damage souls; all it takes is to inflict a wound on the heart of a demon or a fatal spot on a normal creature, and these vile creatures will collapse to the ground, writhing and convulsing as they die.

Hinata's approach was even simpler and more direct. She found the center of energy circulation, smashed it down in a circle, and poured chakra into it. The small fry, not knowing how to control their power, were quickly killed by their own abilities or energy.

Some died from freezing, some were burned to a crisp by the flames inside their bellies, and some were corroded by the runaway acid until their intestines were ruptured.

Number 3 felt heartbroken watching this; for the first time, he so desperately wished there were more and more evil spirits.

Seeing that Amanosaki showed no sign of stopping, he rushed forward, grabbed Amanosaki's shoulder, and said sternly, "Knight Amanosaki! Tell your men to stop immediately! This is a military order!"

Amanosaki gripped the heavy sheet metal pressing on his shoulder, and under Number 3's somewhat apprehensive gaze, he calmly pried open the claw that could crush a steel pipe with brute force.

“My lord,” Amanosaki said, making no attempt to hide his sarcastic tone, “first of all, I am grateful that you all think highly of me and are willing to help me. But in terms of rank, I am on the same level as you all and cannot command you. You will have to find the leader of the subjugation team for this matter.”

"Where is the person in charge!" Number 3 was both angry and anxious. Every second that passed meant one less evil spirit on their side, while the other competing teams had one more chance.

Amanosaki laughed: "I'm curious too. Can you guess where she went?"

Stop beating around the bush! Tell me! Who's in charge?

"Who is Zheng Lun?" Amanosaki asked with a smile.

"...Why are you asking this?"

"Because this matter is related to him, our person in charge was invited by him for tea."

Number 3's expression softened slightly, and he withdrew his hand. "That's easy. I'll contact the army group headquarters right away and ask Major General Zheng Lun to tell you to stop."

Unexpectedly, while his expression relaxed, Amanosaki's face darkened, his gaze shifting as he looked the soldier's exoskeleton up and down, a cold look that sent chills down Number 3's spine.

"What mischief are you up to now!"

"This leads to the second thing."

Amanosaki moved closer, his face close to Number 3's armored head, his voice as cold as ice:

"Your boss stole my girlfriend and now he wants to pursue her."

“This is between me and that guy surnamed Zheng, I advise you not to interfere.”

Number 3 wanted to speak, but Amanosaki wrapped his arms around his neck. Even through the armor, he could feel Amanosaki's muscular strength, which caused a yellow alert to pop up on the control panel.

"Otherwise, you'd probably have to be prepared to retire and spend the rest of your life in the hospital."

Chapter 200: Internal Strife and Conflict

Even though Number 3 was well-trained, he still shuddered at Amanosaki's fierce and malevolent gaze.

This is the look of someone who has truly fought his way to victory. Since becoming a knight-errant, Amanosaki has slaughtered no fewer than a thousand lives. He has experienced far more bloodshed than most soldiers.

Moreover, he was facing a wicked and ruthless demon who would devour people without spitting out the bones. When he got serious, the smell of blood on his body seemed to seep through his mask and into Number 3's nose.

This was the first time he had felt stuffy and nauseous, like he was motion sickness, inside an exoskeleton with an air circulation system.

But Amanosaki's words made him forget the strange feeling he was experiencing.

'Zheng, the boss, stole his girlfriend? Wasn't his girlfriend beating him up right there?'

'And the leader of the punitive expedition has been captured, is that all the fuss about? ...Holy crap! Could it be...?'

That person in charge is his girlfriend? He has two?!

What kind of world is this?! This bastard looks decent enough, has superpowers, is famous, and now has more partners than the average person?!

Is there any king law?Are there any laws?

Number 3 felt a pang of jealousy and momentarily forgot to ask the swordsman to show mercy.

Seeing that he was standing there dumbfounded, Amanosaki thought that the other party understood that he wanted to cause trouble for that damn Zheng Lun, so he nodded in satisfaction, picked up his gun, and started killing again.

It was only then that Number 3 recovered from his jealousy and guessed that it was only natural for a knight-errant like Amanosaki, who wielded the power to kill, to be unable to resist the behavior of poaching and attempting to cuckold someone—Number 3 himself couldn't stand it!

Number 3 had no interest in his boss's romantic entanglements with others, but his own and his brothers' future depended on these evil forces. No matter what, he couldn't let the heroes get rid of them all!

"Squads 1, 4, and 5, continue to eliminate the evil forces; Squads 2 and 3, change to tranquilizer grenades!"

Gritting his teeth, Number 3, driven by malice, began to order his soldiers to prepare non-lethal ammunition.

One person's reloading action is easy to conceal, but a group of people performing the same action do not think they can hide it from Hinata's Byakugan!

Thanks to the shared vision of "as if I were there in person", Amanosaki immediately noticed their movements.

"The military is about to use force! Everyone be careful!"

Amanosaki reacted quickly and preemptively threw mud at the enemy.

Hinata Hyuga flashed and appeared beside Number 3 like a ghost. Using her Byakugan, she saw through the connection of the soldier's exoskeleton, raised her hand and unleashed a few Bagua Palm punches. Chakra penetrated the armor and surged wildly across the sensors and circuit boards.

The sensitive electronic components were no match for chakra, and even the mechanical structure within them could not withstand the force, cracks appearing one after another.

So, amidst the cameras of a group of reporters, the Wuzu armor, meticulously developed by a scientific team and spearheaded by a skilled metallurgist, was lightly touched by Hinata Hyuga, a girl with a gentle appearance and graceful demeanor.

The infantry, like a tower of building blocks that had been pushed, collapsed into a mess.

"Ah, sorry."

Hinata Hyuga said sorry, her blinking eyes full of innocence, showing no remorse at all. Instead, she looked at the internal structure of the infantry with great interest.

These fully encased exoskeleton machines appeared to her as naked as a beautiful woman who had taken off her clothes.

The various conversions of electrical and potential energy during the process left her amazed.

Amanosaki shouted first, and Hinata Hyuga smashed the exoskeleton of number 3. In an instant, the standoff between humans and demons in the valley turned into a three-way standoff between demons, knights, and soldiers.

Unfortunately, the exoskeleton of No. 3 detected damage to itself, putting the user in danger. The machine gun on its shoulder automatically activated and entered guard mode, locking onto Hinata and judging her offensive behavior as an outsider firing!

*Clatter-clatter—click!* The machine gun fired twice before Hinata kicked it in two pieces.

Although it did not harm her, the other heroes and soldiers could see it clearly!

"Damn it, those bastards are really up to no good! Let's get them!" Li Junzi couldn't contain his anger when he saw his sister-in-law almost get shot.

They stole our chivalrous job, bullied Miss Lin, and now they even shot at my sister-in-law!

If we don't show you guys what we've got, you'll think our Yushan branch is made of clay!

He immediately turned ruthless, his hands transforming into two bone spurs that shimmered with silver light and were covered in evil runes. With two sharp sounds of piercing paper, the two bone spurs pierced through the soldiers around him.

"Old Li! What are you doing!" Zeng Aman exclaimed in shock.

While he and the other branch leaders were cursing and insulting the women in Li Junzi's family tree, their fighting skills were quite impressive, each taking down the surrounding soldiers with their own moves.

Seeing their own leader take action, the heroes, who had been holding back their anger, followed suit. Led by Amanosaki and Hinata Hyuga, they fought fiercely against the heretics and warriors. To the astonishment of the reporters, the heroes had defeated two groups of people in just over ten minutes.

While the discipline and equipment of the soldiers allowed them to unleash power far exceeding that of 150 men fighting alone, the knights were no pushovers either. With Amanosaki and Hinata by their side, defeating them was not difficult. However, a few of them had inhaled anesthetic smoke and were now lying on the ground snoring loudly.

"This..." The leading reporter pushed up his glasses, looked at the blood-covered, murderous-looking knights, and tried to leave, but his legs were too weak to move.

He wanted to urge the other reporters to leave, but when he opened his mouth, he felt his mouth was dry and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
