Han Xiao felt that it was alright. In the face of practicality, he did not care much about appearance. Although being handsome was something that could last forever, he chose to be strong.
Other than the belt and accessories, he could also store quite a number of compressed orbs in his clothes.
In his normal state, he would look like this. Once he entered a battle, he would summon his mechanical suit. He had added ejection tubes to store and release compressed orbs in the structure of the mechanical suit. As long as the mechanical suit was equipped, a special magnetic link would be able to absorb the compressed orbs on his body. Just like loading bullets, the compressed orbs would enter different parts of the mechanical suit and be ejected at any time.
There were hundreds of compressed orbs, and some of them were backup machines.
After sorting out the results, Han Xiao pushed open the door and walked out of the machinery modification room. Herlous was waiting at the door. Seeing him come out, he walked forward and said, "Captain, Lerden and the others arrived at Juberly Hub two days ago. They're waiting to see you."
"Lead the way."
Han Xiao adjusted his clothes.
The two of them left the base, sat on the floating vehicle in the Hub Hall, and merged into the large group that was shuttling in the air. After a while, they landed in the middle floor of a building at the edge of the hall. This floor was filled with temporary rest rooms, and there was a small temporary base that the Sunil mercenaries had rented. The location was remote and the space was narrow, so it was the cheapest rest room. They were as frugal as usual.
Ding dong.
They pressed the doorbell, and the silver alloy door slid open. The two of them walked in. More than fifty people were squeezed in the narrow room. It was very cramped and crowded. This was half of the total number of people. The other half stayed in the rest room next door and rushed over when they heard the news. Han Xiao saw that it was really too crowded, so he asked everyone to go to the public rooftop outside to talk. The public rooftop also functioned as a parking area for flying vehicles. It was like a mini port, and behind it was the city-like Hub Hall. There were many tall buildings, and flying vehicles were flying in the sky, taking off and landing on each floor. The wind blew past the rooftop, messing up one's hair and bringing a hint of heat. The wind blown by the vehicles was hot.
"Black Star." "Captain."
The Sunil mercenaries nodded and greeted him. Lerden was chosen as the representative to express their gratitude.
Han Xiao sized up this group of people. Most of the Sunil mercenaries were disabled and had put on mechanical prosthetics. He had seen the mercenaries' resumes before, and more than half of them were Grade C Supers, with a small portion being Grade D Supers. Logically speaking, Grade D Supers were not suitable to be mercenaries, as it was too dangerous. However, Sunil was in a difficult situation, and no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. He could only let the stronger mercenaries lead the weaker members.
"How about this? I'll choose a mission that suits you, and you can decide if you want to accept it or not. Since you've joined me, you have to listen to my orders. I'll say the ugly words first. You can object to my orders, and we can discuss it, but if you disobey my orders behind my back, I'll immediately terminate the cooperation. Of course, I don't want such a situation to happen. I understand your difficult situation. After all, I've been hired by the Sunil Catastrophe before, so you don't have to worry that I'll force you to do missions that you can't complete."
Since he was the leader of the faction, he had to ensure that he was the absolute leader. Although the Sunil mercenaries were talents to him, Han Xiao would not completely give in to them because of that.
The Sunil mercenaries nodded and had no objections. In their eyes, Han Xiao being willing to let them share his influence was already helping them in their hour of need.
Han Xiao opened the mercenary interface, selected a few missions, and let everyone choose. These missions were not public missions that the Alliance had given out to everyone but private requests from other partners. The benefits were very good. The difference was that when normal mercenaries applied for missions, they were the ones being selected. However, these private missions that Han Xiao had received were people coming to him and inviting him to work together. The two were fundamentally different. This was the benefit of the Black Star Mercenary's fame. The partners were all large mercenary groups and did not necessarily need help. However, they were willing to share the benefits in order to build a good relationship with him, mainly because of his identity as Floating Dragon.
Most of the Sunil mercenaries worked alone, risking their lives for a meager reward. They had never seen a mission with such good rewards and safety. They were overjoyed. Although they only had a few choices, they still fell into a dilemma. After discussing for a while, they chose to accept the cooperation request from the Sky Ring Army and escort a resource exploration team to the North Garton Star System to develop an uninhabited planet.
While everyone was choosing, Han Xiao did not say anything. He leaned against the transparent glass railing of the rooftop and played with a compressed orb with his head down. After they finished choosing, he said, "Although this mission is quite simple, I need to test your combat strength first, just in case. Let's go to the combat simulation room."
The Sunil mercenaries felt helpless and felt that it was unnecessary, but they could only follow their captain's orders. The group set off and went to the combat simulation room.
Han Xiao rented a large room. After walking in, he stood in front of everyone, facing them.
The Sunil mercenaries looked at each other. Lerden coughed, stepped forward, and said, "Then I'll be the first to test."
"No need. You guys come together to save time."
Han Xiao curled his finger.
Everyone was shocked. We have more than a hundred people here. Even if you're a Grade B Super, you're too arrogant to ask us to attack together.
Anger rose from the bottom of their hearts. They felt that they were being underestimated. Although they were here to rely on you, you'll regret it if you underestimate us.
With anger on their faces, the Sunil mercenaries spread out, took out their weapons, and got ready for battle.
The team of more than a hundred people bent slightly and got ready to charge. The aura they gathered was like a lion that was about to pounce on its prey, and there was only Han Xiao on the other side.
Only when they were valued would they receive better treatment. Everyone decided to go all out and show their full strength. Since you want to be beaten up, we'll let you have a good time.
Herlous activated the simulation room. The white room turned into a flat gray rock surface. It was very vast. He looked at the warriors of his race who were ready for battle and shook his head.
In the past few days, he had been called by Han Xiao occasionally to test the power of his weapons. He had a deep understanding of Han Xiao's combat ability. At this time, he only hoped that these people of his race would not be beaten too badly.
Han Xiao moved his shoulders and touched the compressed orbs in his belt. At this moment, he suddenly felt like time had reversed. It was as if he had returned to the past, when he first used the Mechanic class to shine, beating up all the little kids in the arena. From then on, he had walked the path of being a booster player, never to return.
At this time, he was not only testing the Sunil mercenaries but also testing his own combat ability and establishing his authority.
The Sunil mercenaries had joined for his influence and did not think much of his strength. Now, most of the mercenaries looked at the Black Star Mercenary this way. Many of them were jealous and felt that Black Star was purely lucky to have the Dragon Emperor. Otherwise, it would have been a third-rate team. They would have done the same.
This was the drawback of becoming famous quickly — it made people doubt his strength. Han Xiao had known this for a long time. However, after weighing the pros and cons, it was definitely more profitable to borrow the power of others. It was normal for there to be some side effects. Mercenaries had always respected the strong. He was doing this to convince this group of people and establish his authority.
The corners of his mouth curled up, showing a hint of fighting spirit.
"Come."
Bang bang bang
As soon as he said that, the Sunil mercenaries immediately moved and charged forward. The long-range soldiers shot cannons and lasers, closing in quickly.
Han Xiao stood still, and a flash of lightning flashed on his body. The two compressed orbs that were acting as earrings flew into the air and quickly turned into two sets of floating shuttles, forming two blue-purple shields above his head and in front of his body. All the long-range attacks exploded on the thin energy shield, and the mirror-like shield rippled with energy.
Buzz buzz buzz
The sound of electric current continued. Immediately after, compressed orbs flew out of his belt one after another, floating around him.
The lightning-like magnetic energy was directly activated, and these compressed orbs were scattered by the magnetic force. They were as fast as bullets, dragging long and thin lightning trails behind them. With a clang, they hit the ground and spread out.
This scene was like a fairy scattering flowers, and soldiers formed from beans.
Instantly spread out.
The next second, twenty-two ground turrets and fourteen floating turrets appeared on the field, firing at the hundreds of enemies in unison.
Tut tut tut tut
The flames at the muzzles were more than a meter long. Some of them were large-caliber cannon turrets that used special ammunition, and some were electromagnetic cannon turrets. The firepower of thirty-six cannon turrets covered no blind spots. The formation of the Sunil mercenaries was instantly messed up. Their speed decreased, and they had difficulty dodging the rain of bullets.
The turrets were located beside or behind Han Xiao, and the surrounding area of a hundred meters was filled with mechanical traps that restricted movement and prevented the enemy from advancing. Each trap was one to two meters in size, and the trigger range was larger than the size of the traps. They flickered with dangerous electricity and sparks, making people not want to try stepping on them.
In the twinkling of an eye, a position spread out around him.
The Sunil mercenaries immediately found it difficult to move forward. They were surrounded by danger, and they instantly fell into a passive position.
