Clank!
Dragging a trail of electric sparks, the compressed orbs quickly rolled out on the ground in a hundred-meter radius . With the sound of mechanical gears moving, artilleries appeared instantly and started firing at the army in all directions .
Countless troops fell in an instant!
"Hide!" Backzas yelled . He hid behind a tree, thinking that it could block the bullets .
However, the next moment, a few high-caliber Blazing Armor Penetrating Bullets blasted this tree into bits and shattered Backzas' armor . He spat out blood from his mouth and screamed in agony before falling to the ground . Clenching his teeth, he growled, "Fire!"
Pow!
A thousand glowing rune arrows were shot at a single target .
Facing the countless arrows, Han Xiao slightly raised his finger . Twelve Sonic Spheres flew out and surround him, emitting sonic waves that turned into impact waves, deflecting all the arrows onto the ground .
Han Xiao took a step forward and headed toward the City of Runes . The first group of troops was buried by the infinite bullets and cannons .
There were both Gunpowder Artilleries and Electromagnetic Artilleries . The bullets used by the Gunpowder Artilleries were all special bullets such as Incendiary Bullets, Penetrating Bullets, grenades, gas bombs, and so on . There were also bullets enchanted by the Volga brothers such as Frozen Bullets, Oil Bullets, and others that caused all sorts of debuffs .
Boom boom boom!
The trees fell under the crossfire, opening up a path covered in the remains of the trees that were still burning .

The light rain was devoured by the flames and turned into a fog, making the field of sight unclear . The troops could only see the shadow of a person slowly walking forward in the mist .
The direction of the fallen trees showed Han Xiao's location . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
The large army finally arrived, and tens of thousands of Rune Guards charged forward under command . However, the area with a five hundred-meter radius of Han Xiao was almost a death zone, and anyone that got close would have their armor shattered and their body penetrated by bullets, no matter how many there were . No one could remain standing in that area .
Heavily injured soldiers filled up the path behind Han Xiao . Their wails were almost louder than the sound of cannons firing .
Han Xiao was not bloodthirsty . The level difference between him and these normal soldiers was too huge . They each only gave him one experience point anyway, so Han Xiao was too lazy to kill them all . For those who got hit in their vital spots, they were just unlucky . Although killing was not a hobby of his, Han Xiao did not feel pressurized by it at all .
Killing some people is normal . Back then when I infiltrated the Germinal Organization…
Never mind, a real mind does not mention his past glory days .
Finally, those soldiers hesitated and did not dare get too close . It was a completely meaningless sacrifice . They were afraid .
This time, three hundred special soldiers stepped out of the crowd . They were wearing black armor that had ten times more complicated rune engravings . All of their eyes were filled with veins like they were enduring enormous pain . They were the strongest warriors of the City of Runes—Black Armor Guards . Their rune armor was the highest level equipment; only trained ace warriors could use it, yet it would still cause irreversible damage to their body . Only one in fifty elite warriors would be selected as a Black Armor Guard . One Black Armor Guard could fight one hundred enemies .
Clank!
The Black Armor Guards charged into the rain of bullets . The highest-level armor finally stopped the bullets . The City of Runes army saw hope again .
Enduring the pain, the three hundred of them unsheathed their rune swords and charged toward Han Xiao fiercely .

Han Xiao's face was calm . He snapped his fingers, and tens of mechanical beasts stampeded forward and restrained these elite warriors . Then, Han Xiao switched the Electromagnetic Artilleries to manual control, multiplying their power . He focused on the Black Armor Guards and defeated them one after another with ease .
Han Xiao's combat style at the moment was almost invincible when facing a large number of enemies unless they were at the same grade as him . The most important thing was that they were cheap .
The ace warriors of City of Runes, the fighters that had high hopes of the army on their shoulders, were defeated without making any impact . Backzas' heart sank when he saw this .
The power of the alien was beyond their expectations!
A deep sense of regret appeared in their hearts, but it was more than too late . They would not know how much they overestimated themselves till they faced such a tragic defeat .
Backzas was held onto his pierced legs and yelled, "Activate the Rune Catapults!"
Four weapons that looked like huge cannons were dragged out and aimed at Han Xiao from afar . These were the trump card of the City of Runes . The design originated from an almost completely broken weapon from an advanced rune civilization . The City of Runes had yet to gain its full technology, and the replica that they had made only had a hundredth of its power, but it was more than enough to be their strongest weapon . The entire City of Runes only had ten of them, and they had taken out four to use as the trump card against the alien .
This was their final resort; they were worried that they might kill the alien due to how strong those weapons were, but they could not be bothered about that anymore . If they still had the mindset of wanting to capture the alien alive, Backzas could already see their ending of being completely defeated .
Hum!
The four catapults shot out enormous energy arrows with a high pitch sound, carrying their last hope .
"These things are not too bad . "
Han Xiao pressed his hands together . Mechanical Force gushed out, and a colorful, bubble-like energy shield appeared, covering an area of three meters around him .
The energy arrows hit the bubble, but there were no explosions; they slid on the surface of the bubble and flew away, blasting ten-meter-wide pits on the ground hundreds of meters away .

[Skewed Energy Field Generator] . This was the equipment that Han Xiao had created using [Advanced Energy Theory] . It could skew energy attacks to a certain extent . He had purchased this knowledge during the nine months of doing hiring missions .
"These four cannons are a little bit threatening to me . One shot would probably cost me about 200 health . " Han Xiao looked at these catapults . They were quite far away and exceeded the shooting range of his artilleries . Han Xiao nodded . A specially made set of compressed orbs flew out and turned into machinery parts midair .
These parts combined and connected with each other . Very soon, a medium-sized Electromagnetic Rail Cannon landed beside him . It was almost two men tall .
Han Xiao sat in the control seat, quickly locked onto the target, and started charging . The blinding electric currents gathered in the cannon's barrel .
Hum!
A blue electric beam crossed a thousand meters and penetrated three Rune Catapults instantly; everything in its path was melted .
This was the Giant War Cannon Style that Han Xiao rarely used . It was usually Cannon Master equipment specifically used to deal damage . This medium-sized Electromagnetic Rail Cannon was very powerful, and he spent quite some time to build it . It was used to deal single target damage, and every shot cost tens of Enas . It was equipment that he had specifically made to deal huge damage together with [Flaming Will] . In one hiring mission in the past, the local organizations had to fight against a space monster that had more than 50,000 health . Han Xiao had gotten lucky with [Flaming Will] and dealt five times the usual damage . At the same time, he had triggered True Damage from [Lethal Shot], dealing 14,885 damage in one shot . It was still his highest single damage record .
"What power is this?" Backzas' lips were pale, and his face was filled with horror .
The alien was outrageously powerful; the tactics that they had discussed the night before all became jokes .
This shot was the last straw that shattered their hopes . The City of Runes army finally collapsed; they threw away their armor and escaped in all directions . Some even sat frozen on the ground with a blank mind, even forgetting to run away .

You have defeated enemies outnumbering you more than 10,000 to 1 alone .
You have received [One Against the World] Achievement Ability .
[One Against the World]: When in battle, if you're alone, you will receive an 11% increase in all attributes .
_____________________
"A rather good Achievement Ability . " Han Xiao nodded . Some abilities could be obtained through hidden challenges—they were called Achievement Abilities . Most of them had quite good effects .
[One Against the World] was obviously an ability suited for lone wolves, and it was very useful to players . As long as they had this ability, they would receive free attribute boosts when hunting other players . The only problem was that the method of getting it was not so player-friendly . For the players to face 10,000 enemies alone, it was not as easy as it was for Han Xiao .
Seeing the defeated and escaping enemies, Han Xiao collected his weapons and continued walking toward the City of Runes .
He believed that this battle was more than enough for the City of Runes to realize the difference in their strength .
…
The Lord of Runes did not sleep that night; he was anxiously waiting for the battle report .
Only half an hour had passed after the decided time of starting the battle, and the battle report came from the frontlines . The Lord of Runes fell onto the ground and sat there in terror .
One man against an army of tens of thousands of soldiers .
The army was overwhelmingly defeated!
The target was completely unharmed!
The face of all the officials present changed dramatically . Horror had crept onto their faces .
