A group of professional players who followed the airdrop pods raised their large-caliber armor-piercing machine guns and fired at the surrounding secret cyan golems. In the midst of the steel storm, these golems, which were able to withstand the charge of the Knights, were trembling all over, and kept retreating, unable to move forward even one step, and their bodies kept breaking apart.
In the nine months, everyone has experienced dozens of combat hires, and they have already had a wealth of experience in dealing with such magic-side combat puppets.
Melos took out the ship-cutting knife, which could smash a golem with one knife, and the efficiency was extremely fast. The three brothers, Aroxia and Volga, stood beside Han Xiao and did not move.
Han Xiao squinted and watched the audience, standing in the same place, not ready to do it himself, Melos and this group of high-level players are enough to solve the enemy, and his subordinates' business ability is up to standard. He is very comfortable as a hands-off shopkeeper. .
This incident is simply that a villain appeared on a planet who wanted to make trouble, so he invited him to solve it. At least hundreds of similar incidents occur in Broken Starlink every day, and the villain’s goals are also very strange. , I'm used to it, I'm very familiar with the workflow, the orbital airdrop landed, and then began to clear the field, Han Xiao didn't need to command, he was proud!
In the past nine months, he deliberately controlled the scale of Black Star, and he still had the same number of people as before, but with the growth of his resume, he has already gained a good reputation. Cooperative missions, although most of the simple missions just need to be reckless, but when encountering difficulties, they often have reliable performance, and it does not take long to establish the impression of a reliable collaborator. Originally, most large mercenary groups only look at him. On the background of Dragon Calm, he made friends, but slowly recognized the ability of Black Star. When the Colton star cluster needed foreign aid, Han Xiao was often the first option to be considered.
If the credit points of the mercenary group accumulate to a certain level, there will be additional treatment, and they will be included in the list of good reputation teams in the region by the background system, and some emergency hires in the region will be automatically sent to Black Star alone. That's how Twilight Star's support invitation came.
In fact, the day before yesterday, he had just completed an escort employment with the team of the Blade's Edge. According to the habit, he should have rested for a while at the Juberly hub, but when he saw that it was an emergency in the evening star, he decided to cancel the vacation and come to work. This planet is one of the infection targets of the [Alienation Disaster] mission that has not yet been opened, so I just came to take a look.
"The development level of the Twilight Star civilization is a low magic level, and it has not yet reached the level of the magic industry. It pays more attention to personal strength. Although some 'ascenders' who should be B-level level have been sent to Gedora, the society generally understands Interstellar. Limited, not even as good as Seablue Star…”
Han Xiao secretly said that each civilization has a different name for the starry sky. The evening star is called "upper realm" and "ascension", which reflects that their civilization is more inclined to individuals, and most people do not understand the situation of the starry sky, only Knowing that there is a higher-level world, there are also reasons why the kingdom does not popularize this common sense.
Dusky Star also released the Alienization Primarch here. Now that nine months have passed, and the 1.0 version update is almost here, it is time to visit other places where the 2.0 Alienization Disaster occurred, and have a psychological preparation in advance.
"Black Star, I have long admired the name."
Linger came over, his tone was somewhat flattering and awe-inspiring. With people from Black Star participating in the battle, he was not worried about the battle situation at all. He took this opportunity to chat with Han Xiao and get to know him.
"Hello." Han Xiao reached out and shook his hand.
Linger was a little flattered. He thought that such an industry leader would be arrogant, but he didn't expect to be so approachable.
The two were chatting here. On the other side, Rex got up from the ground, picked up his shield and spear, took a breath, had no time to communicate with the reinforcements, and hurriedly joined the battle. His army had a chance to breathe again. Assemble and cooperate with the players to fight.
The golems shattered one after another, with the help of a group of new players from the players, the battle was over soon, and the remaining soldiers hurriedly bandaged the wounds and seized the time to recover their stamina.
Rex came to Han Xiao and Linger with a solemn face and no politeness, and said: "Destroy these golems, the door to the altar will be opened, Rezal's order will gather there, and more The enemy is waiting for us, we have no time to delay, please follow us and act immediately."
When Rex saw Linger's awe of Han Xiao during the battle, he knew that this new group of reinforcements had a lot of background, and his tone was respectful and alert. The visitors from the upper realm were always mysterious in his eyes.
He involuntarily glanced at the airdrop capsule, secretly guessing how the people from the upper realms came down with this thing, and he didn't know the reason.
"Okay, this is the end of the chat, let's work." Han Xiao nodded, since it was the employer's request, let's work first.
After a brief rest, the coalition troops hurriedly entered the ruins to find a passage, and soon found the entrance to the underground altar.
This is an abandoned dungeon, which was transformed into a secret base by Rezal and used in secret for many years. Everyone filed in and followed the corridor all the way. The dungeon is not big and the passage is narrow. Rex's troops are numerous and only Can leave some people on the ground as sentries.
Han Xiao and others followed behind, straying from the army alone. Things were very serious in Rex's eyes, but for him, the situation was very simple. Find the target boss, kill it directly, and the world will be clean.
…
At the underground altar in the deepest part of the dungeon, the mirror showed the scene of the army entering, and the expressions of hundreds of believers changed.
"Damn, why are there another group of warriors from the upper realm, our plan was destroyed, the golem didn't kill enough people, and the blood was not enough to activate the altar! It's over!" The senior cultivator panicked.
Rezal was no longer calm, his face became solemn, staring at Han Xiao and others in the mirror, a touch of envy, yearning and jealousy rose in his eyes.
These people are all from the upper world...
soon, soon
I'm also about to become a person from the upper world.
Rezal always believed that the people trapped on the planet were pathetic. The believers thought Rezal carried out this plan to become the "strongest mage". , Sitting in the well and watching the sky, narrow-minded, pathetic!
Maybe in the eyes of interstellar citizens, the sea of stars is the same thing, but for those who look up at the stars and can only use their imagination to describe the cosmic society, being able to go to the stars is a huge attraction, and he also knows for sure There are other civilizations and other races in the sea of stars, and the thirst for knowledge and curiosity is as fiery as a burning flame, and it cannot be suppressed.
This is the exploratory instinct of intelligent creatures. If you want to make progress, you will stand on the peak yourself and see the desired scenery. When you don’t have it, you are often very eager.
Rezal's goal from beginning to end was only to go to the upper realm, so he could do whatever he could, regardless of the consequences, but the sudden arrival of the upper realm mercenaries made his painstakingly prepared plan change.
Without these people, my plan would definitely succeed.
There was a deep madness in his eyes.
"Teacher, what should we do?!" The senior priest said eagerly.
Rezal lowered his head to look at the commotion under the altar, this was the group he had spent decades forming, a look of sternness appeared on his old face, and he slowly said, "Lend me your flesh and blood... "
His staff glowed a bewitching red light, the stone pillars of the altar were flooded with a bright red halo, and the ground showed a complex array of shimmering light. It was blue and purple, as if suffocating. He frantically grabbed his throat, but his hands and feet twitched uncontrollably.
The senior cleric looked in pain and his eyes were full of disbelief. He climbed up the altar with difficulty along the steps. His trembling hands tried to grab the hem of Rezal's robe, but his hands were only halfway there, and his eyes slammed. It exploded, and blood spurted out, dripping on the ground, turning into slender blood lines, like red long earthworms, automatically "climbing" to the base of the altar and infiltrating it.
Hundreds of believers died collectively, and the blood in their bodies was drained by the magic circle, turning into mummified corpses with open mouths, sunken facial features, and skin and bones, and the altar that absorbed the blood became extra smooth, like gray. Common jade.
The scene that was noisy just now, is already dead silent.
Blood, finally enough.
rumbling...
The altar hummed and the ceremony began.
The majestic mana containing the bloody smell builds up a special magic circle.
Behind the altar is a source water vein, the slowly flowing underground source water suddenly boils, and tiny light spots like fireflies float on the water surface. Zal's facial features were madly absorbed by him.
Five minutes later, Rex led the troops to come here, and saw the altar and the mummified corpse in the distance. When he saw clearly that Rezal was absorbing the magic power of the source water, his face was like an enemy.
"Oops, the ceremony has begun! Stop them now!"
Rex was about to greet the troops and was about to rush over. At this moment, a magic buzzing sounded around the altar, and defensive circles appeared on the walls. Colorful rays of light enveloped the altar, and thousands of defensive magics were superimposed. Solid, and the ground rumbling, twenty new golems crawled out of the ground and stopped by the altar.
Rex's expression changed drastically.
With so many defensive magics and golems, he couldn't rush through in a short time. He thought he could stop the ceremony after finding Rezal, but he was stopped outside at this time.
Rezal had planned for so long, and there was no room for failure. Naturally, he arranged a lot of defensive measures. As long as he resisted the enemy for a while, he could complete the ritual of absorbing magic power.
Thousands of kilometers of source water contains majestic magic power. This ritual was inherited in ancient times. Only by building a source of magic power in the body can it contain so much magic power and break through the limit of strength.
"If you let him complete the ceremony, the Southern Territory will be finished. Hurry up and break these defensive magics and rush with me..." Rex's tone was anxious. Before he could finish, someone suddenly held his shoulders and interrupted the conversation.
Rex turned back and saw Han Xiao passed him and walked in front of the team.
"You are too slow, let me come."
There is no doubt in Han Xiao's tone, with the confidence of a professional, unlike the anxious Twilight Star soldier, he always has a calm face, and does not take these protective measures in his eyes at all.
Kerala
The next moment, compressed balls flew out and quickly unfolded. Hundreds of various artillery turrets surrounded Han Xiao. Magic is as fragile as paper!
In nine months, although Han Xiao did not change the combat system, he strengthened it, increased the number of various machines, and made it more powerful. In less than ten seconds, twenty golems were torn to shreds.
The intertwined firelight made the dungeon bright as day, and the terrifying power of his sudden burst made these soldiers extremely horrified. Rex was shocked and murmured: "What a terrible attack, stronger than the legendary Ascender. , even the protector of the country does not have such strength, is this the strength of the upper realm warrior..."
He had heard secrets from the Protectorate Mage Corps. The warriors in the upper realms were completely different from the warriors who only used magic power. They possessed all kinds of strange abilities. This time it was finally an eye-opener.
The artillery fire easily shattered the defensive magic, shattered the altar, and the ceremony was interrupted immediately.
Rezal fell to the ground, full of anger and disbelief. He didn't expect that the defensive measures he had arranged for many years would be completely torn apart in just a short while. The strength of this upper realm mercenary far exceeded his imagination. .
However, the next moment, Rezal's expression changed, he felt the surging magic power in his body, and suddenly broke through the shackles, and a new force was born in the body.
He widened his eyes, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Success... I succeeded..."
Although the ceremony was interrupted not long after the start, part of the magic power he absorbed had helped him break through the bottleneck and finally reached the standard set by Gedora, and he could go to the upper realm that he yearned for so much.
The increase in strength made Rezal delusional, as if he could defeat all the enemies with a wave of his hand, but he didn't want to fight, so he turned his head to start the blasting rune, causing the dungeon to collapse, and then he left along the secret passage. Full of excitement, a long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled.
However, plans are often the opposite of reality.
Sensing the sharply rising energy response, Han Xiao raised his brows.
"Yo, temporarily broke through to B-level."
"but… "
The next second, the Void Dragon mecha instantly possessed itself, Han Xiao came to Rezal like a teleport, held down his head, and slammed down.
boom! !
Before Rezale could react, he stuck his head in the ground, let go of his staff, and fell far away. The strength he had just improved didn't work at all. The powerful feeling only lasted for a few seconds, and then he was hit. Scatter!
"is that useful?"
