Kerala--

Each compressed sphere, trailing a flash of electricity, rapidly spread across a radius of 100 meters. Amidst the creaking of mechanical components, artillery emplacements suddenly appeared, opening fire directly on the troops in all directions.

In an instant, men and horses were thrown into chaos!

"Hide!" Bakzas roared, hiding behind a tree, thinking he could block the bullets.

However, the next moment, several large-caliber incendiary armor-piercing rounds blasted the tree in half, and Bakzas's armor was riddled with holes, blood spurting out. He screamed in agony, fell to the ground, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Fire!"

Collapse!

Thousands of rune-enhanced crossbow bolts were fired at the same target, their runes adding a dazzling glow. The sheer number of arrows was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Faced with the overwhelming barrage of crossbow bolts, Han Xiao slightly raised his finger, and twelve Sonic Attack Sphere flew out, circling around him. At the same time, they spewed out sonic waves, turning into a hurricane that swept away all the crossbow bolts, leaving them crookedly stuck all over the ground, but not a single one hit Han Xiao.

Han Xiao strode towards Rune City, the first advance force being overwhelmed by endless artillery fire, some dead, some wounded.

Among them are gunpowder turrets and electromagnetic kinetic energy turrets. The ammunition carried by the gunpowder turrets are all special types of bullets, such as incendiary bullets, penetrating bullets, high-explosive bullets, and poison gas bullets. There are also enchanted bullets from the Volga Brothers, such as frost bullets and oil bullets, which, when combined, create various negative status effects.

Bang bang bang!

The forest was broken and felled by the crossfire, clearing a wide road. Tree debris was everywhere, and flames were still burning.

The light rain was swallowed by the flames, turning into a misty vapor that obscured visibility. The arriving main force could only see a single figure slowly advancing through the mist.

Judging from the direction the fallen trees were lying in the distance, one could tell Han Xiao's location, like a giant python moving through the grass.

The main force finally arrived, and tens of thousands of rune guards rushed forward under the command of other officers. However, the area within 500 meters of Han Xiao was almost a death zone. No matter how many people were there, once they got close, their tough armor would shatter instantly, bullets would pierce their bodies, and they would fall down like weeds being cut down. No one could stand up.

Severely wounded soldiers lay scattered on the ground behind Han Xiao, their screams almost drowning out the sound of artillery fire.

Han Xiao wasn't bloodthirsty. These ordinary soldiers were far too low in rank to him, and since they only had 1 experience point each, he didn't bother finishing them off. If someone was unlucky enough to get hit in a vital spot, they could only accept their bad luck. Although Han Xiao wasn't bloodthirsty, he didn't feel any pressure about it either.

Killing a few people is nothing out of the ordinary, back when I infiltrated the Germinal...

Forget it, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories.

Finally, the soldiers hesitated, their faces filled with horror, and dared not approach any further. Going forward like this would be tantamount to suicide, a meaningless sacrifice. They were afraid.

At this moment, three hundred special soldiers stepped forward. They wore black armor with runes ten times more complex than usual, and their eyes were bloodshot, as if bearing an immense burden. These were the strongest warriors of Rune City — the Black Armor Guards. These rune sets were the highest level of equipment, only wielded by trained elite warriors, and would cause irreversible damage to the body. Only one Black Armor Guards could be selected from fifty elite warriors, and their combat power was enough to take on a hundred men.

Ding ding ding...

The Black Armor Guards charged into the hail of bullets, their top-tier armor finally stopping the barrage, instantly igniting hope in the Rune City army.

Enduring the pain, the three hundred men drew their rune swords and charged towards Han Xiao, exuding a chilling and ruthless aura of elite warriors.

Han Xiao remained calm. With a snap of his fingers, dozens of mechanical beasts surged forth, restraining the elite group. He then switched the electromagnetic turrets to his own control mode, focusing fire on each one. The armor-piercing performance of the electromagnetic kinetic energy was several times higher, easily taking down the Black Armor Guards one by one.

Han Xiao's "migrant worker quality" unit is invincible in dealing with group fights, as long as it doesn't encounter opponents of the same level. The key is that it's cheap to build and cost-effective.

The ace warriors of Rune City, the powerful figures on whom the army placed its hopes, were eliminated one after another before they could even make a ripple. Watching this scene, Bakzas's heart sank to the bottom.

The aliens' power exceeded expectations!

A deep sense of regret lingered in my heart, but it was too late. Only by suffering heavy losses could I have realized my own overestimation of my abilities.

"Use the rune ballistae!" Bakzas cried out in anguish as he was rescued, clutching his pierced legs.

Four massive, cannon-like engineering weapons were dragged out and aimed at Han Xiao from a distance. These were Rune City's trump card weapons, derived from a nearly destroyed advanced civilization's rune technology weapon. Rune City had not yet fully mastered the technology, and the imitation only possessed one percent of its power, but it was enough to become their most formidable weapon. The entire Rune City only had ten of these, and bringing out four at once was a trump card specifically to deal with the aliens.

This was a last resort, because the power was too great and they were worried it would kill the aliens. But they couldn't worry about that now. If they still held onto the idea of capturing the aliens alive, Bakzas could already see the end of their entire army being wiped out.

Buzz!

Four ballistae fired massive energy bolts with a piercing whistle, carrying the last hope.

"This thing does have some power."

Han Xiao glanced sideways, then suddenly clasped his hands together, unleashing a surge of Mechanical Force. A bubble-like energy shield covered a three-meter radius, slippery to the touch and multicolored.

The energy crossbow bolts struck the bubble, but instead of delivering the expected Heavy Strike, they grazed the bubble and flew away, blasting a hole several meters wide in the ground hundreds of meters away.

[Deflection Energy Field Generator] is an equipment that Han Xiao fused with [Advanced Energy Theory]. It can deflect pure energy attacks to a certain extent. He also learned this knowledge during his nine months of mercenary service.

"These four cannons are a bit of a threat to me. Each shot should take away about two hundred of my health." Han Xiao estimated that the rune crossbow cannons were a bit far away, exceeding the range of the turret. He nodded, and a set of specific compressed balls flew out, transforming into mechanical parts in mid-air.

These mechanical parts combined with each other, and soon, a medium-sized electromagnetic railgun landed beside them with a bang, standing more than two people tall.

Han Xiao sat on the control panel, quickly locked onto the target, and began charging up energy. Blinding electrical energy surged wildly through the cannon barrel.

Buzz!!

A bolt of blue lightning traveled over a thousand meters, instantly piercing through three rune-inlaid crossbows and melting away all obstacles in its path.

This is a long-range heavy artillery build that Han Xiao rarely uses; it's usually equipment for gunners, specifically designed for high damage output. This medium-sized electromagnetic railgun is incredibly powerful, and it took him quite a while to assemble it. It's used to deal with single targets, and each shot costs tens of Enas. It's specifically designed to work with [Willpower Burning] to deal astronomical damage. Once, during a mercenary mission, he was fighting a Void Wanderer monster with over 50,000 HP for a local faction. Han Xiao defied the odds, unleashing five times the damage and triggering the true damage of [One Shot, One Kill], dealing a single shot that dealt 14,885 damage—a personal damage record that remains unbroken to this day.

"What kind of power is this...?" Bakzas's lips turned pale, his face filled with fear.

The aliens possess such power that all those improvised tactics from last night were completely useless, like a joke, mere empty talk.

This shot was the straw that broke the camel's back. The army of Rune City finally broke down, abandoning their armor and weapons and fleeing in all directions. Some people sat on the ground, looking bewildered, their minds blank, forgetting even how to escape.

You single-handedly defeated an enemy force ten thousand times your size.

[You have gained the [Ten Thousand Cannot Break Through] achievement feat]

[[Ten Thousand Cannot Break Through]: When entering combat, if you are alone, you gain an 11% overall bonus.]

"A pretty good achievement feat." Han Xiao nodded. Some feats can be obtained by completing certain hidden challenges, also known as achievement feats, and most of them have pretty good effects.

[Ten Thousand Cannot Break Through] is clearly a suitable skill for Lone Wolf, and it's very useful for players. As long as you have this skill, you can get attribute bonuses for free in one-on-one PvP. However, the acquisition method is not very friendly to players. Players who want to fight against ten thousand enemies are not as easy as Han Xiao.

Watching the defeated enemy, Han Xiao sheathed his weapon and continued walking towards Rune City without stopping.

He believed this battle would be enough for Rune City to realize the gap between the two sides (https://m. hetushu. com. com).

The Runemaster didn't sleep a wink all night, anxiously awaiting the battle report.

Only half an hour had passed since the agreed-upon time for the attack when the battle report came back from the front. The Rune Master was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

One person against tens of thousands of troops.

The army suffered a complete defeat!

The target was completely unharmed!

All the officials present paled, their faces contorted with fear.
