Lin Zhan watched as Rommel rode out alone on Xiao Bao and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, hey you foxy scoundrel, your knife isn't sharp and your horse is skinny. What are you going to fight me with? I thought you were a woman, but you're a man! This is boring. Should I kill you or capture you alive?"
Rommel stared intently at Lin Zhan, and Lin Zhan returned the gaze. "Human boy, you are indeed very powerful, even more troublesome than that old fellow Jiang Zhongtian. But your greatest weakness is your strength. A mere early-stage Gold dares to lead troops to chase me. If you have guts, let's duel, general against general, king against king."
"Holy crap, you're shameless! A Platinum-level opponent challenging me, an early-stage Gold? With that ugly face, how can your thoughts be so beautiful?" Lin Dashao cursed him indignantly.
Then, seeing Rommel's disdainful gaze, Lin Zhan turned to the commanders of the three great knight orders and asked, "Uncles, do we have such rules with the ten thousand races?"
The commanders of the three great knight orders nodded with grim expressions, but then added, "Young Master, it's fine, no one saw anyway. If we kill all these brats, no one will know."
Lin Zhan heard this and thought, "That won't do! I originally wanted to show off. Otherwise, how can I win over these arrogant and proud generals?"
He then said, "Uncles, don't worry. I can defeat him as easily as chopping weeds. He's just a stepping stone. Why should we tarnish the reputation of our human race?"
Lin Zhan rode his bear forward and shouted at Rommel, "Foxy scoundrel, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you win, I'll let you and your ragtag bunch go. If you lose... there will be no more 'you'."
"Young Master, no!"
"Yes, Young Master, we can't let Rommel go."
Lin Zhan shook his head and said, "It's alright."
Then he pointed at Rommel and roared, "Come and fight!"
Rommel was not a race that excelled at combat. However, thinking that he was more than one level higher than Lin Zhan, how could he lose? He rode his mount, held a treasure sword, and unleashed his mid-stage Platinum might towards Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan slowly gathered his aura, concentrating his martial essence onto his Chengying saber. Seeing Rommel getting closer, Lin Zhan moved. Xiao Bao charged forward, and with a single saber strike, he sent Rommel's sword flying. Then, with a wave of his paw, he knocked Rommel unconscious.
Xiao Bao also erupted in ferocity, standing on its hind legs and pounding Rommel's mount with its claws. With a squelch, Xiao Bao directly blew up the head of Rommel's mount, which died beside Rommel.
Lin Zhan looked at the remaining ten thousand races' knights and said to Lin Yi and Lin Er, "Kill them all."
Lin Yi, Lin Er, and the generals of the knight orders attacked, and without much effort, they beheaded all the remaining ten thousand races' knights.
Lin Zhan waved his hand and said, "Take this foxy scoundrel with us. We're returning to camp."
"Young Master, aren't we going to the great camp of the ten thousand races' coalition?" the generals asked Lin Zhan.
"There's no need to go. Reinforcements will come later. We might as well go back and rest," Lin Zhan shook his head.
Upon returning to the great camp, the war had already ended, and the ten thousand races' coalition had all been slaughtered, leaving no survivors.
Ouyang Chengshan, Jiang Zhongtian, Zhang Zhen, and Lin Shanhe rushed out upon hearing the news of Lin Zhan's return. They saw Lin Zhan and said, "Zhan'er, are you injured? Have you captured Rommel?"
"Generals, Zhan'er is amazing. Look who it is!" The commander of the Thunder Guard Knight Order held up Rommel and showed him to them.
"Hahaha, Zhan'er, you're amazing! Rommel would never have dreamed that he'd be captured alive by humans. Good, Zhan'er, why are you keeping him? Kill him and offer him as a sacrifice!" Jiang Zhongtian laughed heartily.
"Grandpa Jiang, please don't. I have great use for him. I'll show everyone another good show later."
Lin Zhan looked at the unconscious Rommel and said to the human knight beside him, "Pour water on him to wake him up. I have another good show to let him see later."
Rommel shook his head and slowly regained consciousness. He said to Lin Zhan, "I never imagined that I, Rommel the cunning fox, would be defeated by a fledgling kid like you. But you are indeed good. You're much better than those two old guys sitting up there and those two mindless brutes who only know how to kill."
Lin Zhan chuckled and said, "Actually, I'm much better at killing than leading troops. You, who are a level higher than me, only lasted two moves in my hands. What right do you have to brag here? I gave you a chance, but you were useless, utterly useless."
Towards the end, Lin Zhan gritted his teeth, displaying a look of disappointment. He poked Rommel's head and continued, "And one of those two old guys you mentioned, Ouyang Chengshan, is my maternal grandfather. Those two brutes are my father and my father-in-law. What else do you have to be unhappy about? I'm not looking down on you, but if you brought your entire fox tribe of old geezers here, I could still trick them into selling their children and daughters, believe it or not."
Seeing Rommel's defiant expression, Lin Zhan continued to strike, "Why are you still unconvinced? Are you waiting for reinforcements from your ten thousand races to arrive and catch me off guard?"
"You... How did you know?" Rommel asked in shock.
"Does this even need thinking about? Anyone with a brain knows what tactics you're planning. I'll tell you, I've already played these games. And I'll tell you something else: I haven't even touched your great camp of the ten thousand races' coalition. I'm saving it for your reinforcements. How about that, are you stunned? Are you sad? Are you confused? Come on, faint for me." Who was Lin Zhan? He was someone who could squeeze urine out of a toad. How could he let Rommel off so easily?
Rommel looked at Lin Zhan before him and felt that this person was too terrifying, his plans meticulous. Listening to Lin Zhan's taunts, he couldn't catch his breath and fainted again with a "ga."
In the great camp, everyone stared at Rommel, who had been scolded unconscious by Lin Zhan, in surprise. Only Lin Zhan calmly said to the nearby orderly, "He fainted again. Get some water and wake him up. In this territory, no one gets to faint without my permission."
The high-ranking military leaders above were even more bewildered as they looked at Lin Zhan, thinking, "Can this wicked kid be considered human? He's already playing with this fool of a fox and still won't let him go. What kind of character does it take to do something like this? It would be better to just chop him with a knife, but watching it is quite satisfying, really cool."
Rommel was once again awakened by cold water and looked at Lin Zhan resentfully. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Zhan retorted.
Lin Zhan continued his tirade, "Foxy scoundrel, can you be more polite? Someone is speaking here, and you're pretending to faint. Who taught you to do that? Did your parents teach you that when you were little?"
"It's also thanks to my magnanimity that I'm not bothered by you."
