Grade C superhumans represent the pinnacle of combat power on Planet Aquamarine. They possess exceptional physical resilience and destructive strength. Even in the cosmos, Grade C is considered a watershed moment for basic strength, often referred to as the "basic standard for planetary exploration warriors."

Reaching level 60 does not guarantee a Grade C position. It depends on skills, specializations, and attributes. Most level 60 characters on Planet Aquamarine are only D+, while those like Bennett are Grade C. There are only about twenty Grade C individuals on the entire Planet Aquamarine.

Han Xiao has risen to the top ranks.

Their confidence is stronger.

Since you've decided to go to the battlefield, thorough preparation is essential.

After changing his job to [Magnetic Ring Mechanic], Han Xiao's mechanical skills improved significantly. He spent several days upgrading his existing equipment and creating some new machines that might be useful.

However, he didn't waste too much time. After all, the situation of Germinal was deteriorating, and they might turn Aurora into a potion at any time. He had to hurry to save people.

Once everything was ready, that evening, Han Xiao called Huang Yu over and instructed him, "I will be leaving for a while, about half a month if nothing unexpected happens. During this time, you will manage the daily affairs of the Sanctuary."

"It's my responsibility to manage this..." Huang Yu refrained from saying this aloud, and instead asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Han Xiao shouldered his equipment bag, making a move to leave, and finally said, "The Sanctuary construction is on track. Don't cause any trouble, or you'll have to consider the consequences."

Huang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly agreed.

Han Xiao walked out of the room and headed to the helipad, where the helicopter was already waiting.

On the way, he observed the current state of the Sanctuary. Players came and went in an endless stream, making it very lively. In addition to construction, the newly joined wandering residents also frequently hired players to do some simple work. It was already taking shape as the player's main city he envisioned.

For this rescue mission, Han Xiao plans to act alone.

The Six Nations have blockaded the Andia battlefield. If one approaches as a third party, one will be treated as an enemy and shot down. Getting to the battlefield is not an easy task. Han Xiao can no longer approach by plane as before. He must enter the battlefield through official channels.

At Stardragon Port Base in the Southern Continent, three heavy transport planes are undergoing pre-flight checks. They are tasked with transporting important supplies across the ocean. In the small square next to the planes, hundreds of people dressed in various ways are either sitting or standing. They are not wearing Stardragon military uniforms, but they all have one thing in common: they exude an aura that is not to be trifled with. Their positions are clearly divided into groups of varying sizes, and they are sizing each other up.

These people are mercenaries belonging to different organizations. Such a large-scale war is inseparable from the presence of mercenaries, and the Six Nations do not reject the use of mercenaries.

Mercenaries are like hyenas searching for blood, rushing to various wars to earn rewards. The world is bustling with people coming and going for profit. Even some contract assassins from the Blood Pact Union want to get involved. Most contract assassins are merely affiliated with the Dark Net and, strictly speaking, are not formal subordinates and are not under the command of the Dark Net.

Many of the mercenaries are superhumans, a force that the Six Nations desperately need; there can never be too many superhumans. The side with the advantage in a war will receive assistance from all sides, and by making good use of this assistance, they can expand their advantage. Currently, the ground war between the Six Nations and Germinal is at a stalemate. The large number of super soldiers developed by the Germinal has caused considerable trouble for the ground forces of the Six Nations, and they are in dire need of manpower.

In Andia, there are thousands of battlefields of varying sizes where mercenaries play a role in small-scale skirmishes and tactical missions; quality is more important than quantity.

The mercenaries, who were about to travel to the Andia Continent by transport plane, were chatting amongst themselves. Most of them were rude men, undisciplined, and extremely loud. The Stardragon soldiers standing guard nearby with their guns at the ready were annoyed by what they heard, but due to orders from their superiors, they could not reprimand the mercenaries.

Surrounded by a noisy environment, Qin Yuan crossed his arms, scanned his surroundings, and spoke with a playful tone: https://m. hetushu. com. com.

"Blade Mercenary Group, Ram Mercenary Group, Ice Sculpture Mercenary Group... Tsk tsk, quite a few people have come, all hoping to profit from the war. Assassins have also come to join the fun, including Kroll of Venomous Bee and the Blood Pact Ghost Class assassin ' Shattered Shadow.' Among the assassins, those two have the biggest names."

Qin Yuan was a well-known mercenary, and his mercenary group was considered top-tier among this group, frequently attracting attention and scrutiny. Several others received similar treatment, including Kroll and Shattered Shadow of the Venomous Bee, both assassins with impressive combat records proving their strength.

Those in the industry know that the Venomous Bee Organization and the Blood Pact Union are rivals and enemies, so these two assassins have received the most attention. Many mercenaries are waiting to see what happens, but the two are standing in a corner, and for the time being, they are at peace.

Shattered Shadow occasionally glanced at Kroll, its eyes filled with apprehension. Kroll had a more prestigious reputation, and Shattered Shadow was wary that Kroll might pose a threat to it.

In contrast, Kroll's demeanor was relaxed and casual. He closed his eyes to rest, his face indifferent, not even glancing at the crowd, appearing very confident and high-class. He ignored the gaze of the Shattered Shadow, his mindset somewhat detached.

Qin Yuan glanced at the scene with interest for a few moments, and then suddenly saw the Stardragon soldiers in the distance part to make way for someone to walk in.

"Another newcomer." Qin Yuan looked over, his playful gaze suddenly freezing, quickly turning into shock. He opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word for a moment.

The others followed his gaze, and the previously noisy scene instantly froze into silence, astonishment creeping onto everyone's faces.

A figure in black slowly approached, trailing at the edge of the group, attracting everyone's attention and prompting whispers of surprise and uncertainty from the crowd.

"Why would someone like him come?!"

"Black Phantom, he can represent the Dark Net, doesn't that mean the Dark Net is no longer neutral...?"

Han Xiao remained unmoved, standing quietly without saying a word.

Black Phantom's name was legendary on the Dark Net, and he immediately stole the spotlight. No one expected that someone of his caliber would be working with them.

They were not even in the same league. Han Xiao's mere presence silenced the group of mercenaries who had been so noisy just moments before. The Stardragon soldiers nearby watched in amazement, finally feeling a relief for their tormented ears, and looked at the once arrogant mercenaries with a mocking gaze.

Hey, you guys got all cocky, huh? Now you're all deflated.

Qin Yuan suddenly realized something and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Shattered Shadow. Everyone else, seeing this, also looked over.

Black Phantom is also a member of the Blood Pact Union.

Shattered Shadow hadn't expected to meet a legend from the same organization here. He wanted to go up and talk to him, but he was afraid that he wasn't good enough to catch Han Xiao's eye. His eyes were filled with admiration and hesitation. However, Han Xiao's arrival was like a shot in the arm, giving him confidence. Shattered Shadow glared at Kroll, eager to cause trouble.

"Damn it, why is he here too?" Kroll's back was already soaked with cold sweat, and his previous composure had vanished. When he saw the provocative gaze of the Shattered Shadow, he quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet it, and walked into the crowd, choosing to be an ostrich.

Shattered Shadow felt a sense of relief, her body and mind refreshed. For the first time, she experienced how wonderful it felt to be a fox borrowing the tiger's power.

The atmosphere was strange, and everyone felt like time was dragging on forever. Finally, the plane was ready, and the Stardragon soldiers announced that boarding was about to begin. As if they had planned it in advance, the mercenaries made way for each other, and at the end of the way stood a completely bewildered Han Xiao.

"You... cough, you go first." Qin Yuan coughed lightly, his tone filled with reverence.

Wow, this is pretty good treatment. Am I that scary? Han Xiao was both amused and exasperated. He shook his head, picked up his equipment bag, and was the first to board the plane under everyone's watchful eyes. He casually found a seat and sat down. The others breathed a sigh of relief and boarded the plane one after another.

rumble--

After a period of shaking, the plane took off.

The official way for Han Xiao to go to Andia was to become a mercenary for Stardragon. This was the simplest method. The reason he used the identity of Black Phantom instead of changing his face was that although the Six Nations accepted mercenaries to participate in the war, they would also look at their resumes and exclude those who were not trustworthy.

His identity Black Phantom not only stemmed from his past experience working together to combat Germinal, but he was also a powerful figure on the Dark Net, making him very reliable, and the approval process went smoothly. Of course, using the identity of Black Phantom would have a negative impact on the Dark Net, which has always maintained a neutral stance, but in Master Han's view, these were minor issues.

He actually had another option: to have his face replaced to impersonate another mercenary and board the plane quietly. However, he felt that if he could go through legitimate channels, he shouldn't cause too much trouble.

Just one word: kiss!

Han Xiao's phone vibrated in his pocket. He opened it and saw that it was Bennett calling.

The moment the call connected, Bennett's roar shook his eardrums.

"You come back here!"
