The forest surrounds Rune City. Looking into the distance from the heights of the city, the green green surrounds the white city. However, at this time, a bare road appears in the dense forest, like a man with flowing hair.

But there is a conspicuous bald spot.

Black smoke was rising in the rain, and residents of Rune City could see it from a distance.

"What happened there?"

"There was a faint sound of explosions just now. It couldn't be someone from Steelfire Castle coming over..."

"I got up before dawn to sort out the goods. Do you know what I saw? Groups of rune guards walked into the forest, in the direction of the smoke now."

Looking at the smoke in the distance, the residents of Rune City were filled with doubts and speculations. The ruling class was the first to know the information about the arrival of aliens, and it has not been spread yet.

"It's him... it must be him..." In the crowd, a man as short and skinny as a mouse was horrified. People around him noticed something unusual about him, and their eyes lit up. They guessed that this man might know something about the situation and asked questions one after another.

"That's an alien! He landed outside the city last night. He can speak our language and made a request to Rune City..." This man was the smuggler leader last night. He poured out last night's smuggler like beans from a bamboo tube.

He told all the witnesses, and more and more people were listening around him, all of whom looked in disbelief.

"A battle must have broken out there, which proves that Rune City did not agree to the alien's request." The smuggler leader swallowed, and the crowd was commotion, looking at each other, and you could see the panic in their eyes.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance. A rune guard ran back with all his strength, his face blackened by gunfire. He looked back from time to time, with a look of horror on his face, as if there was a savage beast chasing him behind.

Behind him, more and more embarrassed soldiers fled back.

This scene gave the residents a bad premonition. A middle-aged man discovered that his brother, who was a soldier, had also escaped, so he hurriedly caught him and asked about the situation.

"The people above rejected the aliens' request. They wanted to capture the aliens... The tens of thousands of troops were completely defeated, and the enemy only had one person. Thousands of us died, and even his clothes were gone.

You can't touch it. It's too scary. Everyone else has ran away. That guy is walking towards the city now. You should run away too!" The guard, still frightened, finished speaking in one breath, got rid of the entanglement, and got out of the crowd.

, ran away in a hurry.

Everyone was in an uproar, looking nervous and angry at the same time. They wanted to push the Rune Lord to the ground and kill him. The alien provoked an alien and put them in danger. They wanted to hang the Rune Lord up and beat him - promised to the alien.

What a nice request, to provoke people for no reason and put the whole city in danger, is that mean? Is that mean?!

At this time, a group of soldiers walked out from the direction of the central tower, pushed away the residents, and left the middle of the road empty. The Rune Lord led a group of officials and hurried towards the edge of the city. The guards behind him were holding a strange statue.

The aliens were about to enter the city, and there was no time to escape. The Lord of Runes had no choice but to think of the aliens' demands, so he could only take the statue to beg for mercy. According to the intelligence from the front line, the aliens did not pursue the fleeing army, and

He wasn't injured either. Maybe aliens don't like killing. He did it with a sense of luck, and he didn't have any desire for aliens. Now he just hopes that the aliens will take the things and leave, so that they can be forgiven.

Seeing this, some residents followed, and more and more people joined along the road, forming a torrent and following the Rune Lord's team, wanting to see the situation with their own eyes.

Thousands of people came to the villages on the edge of the city, and countless people looked forward to it and felt nervous.

The Lord of Runes kept wiping his sweat and felt uneasy.

Tap tap tap...

The sound of footsteps trampling on fallen leaves and humus sounded from the depths of the forest, getting closer and closer. As the distance got closer, the faces of the residents and the Rune Lord became more and more uneasy, as if they were approaching the sound of a judgment bell. Not long after,

Han Xiao finally walked out of the forest and came to the edge of Rune City.

As soon as he appeared, countless eyes were focused on him, and everyone was paying attention. His eyes were full of curiosity, fear, worry and other emotions.

He glanced at the huge crowd and a group of guys who were obviously officials. His eyelids twitched. He knew at a glance what the other party was planning and curled his lips.

I feel like I've hit a brick wall and I'm going to take the initiative to offer the statue. Isn't it too late to give in now?

The Lord of Runes took the statue from the guard, hurriedly stepped forward, carefully observed Han Xiao, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this should be what you want..."

Unsure of the aliens' thoughts, the Rune Lord did not dare to say unnecessary words. Although he was a ruler, he had no confidence at all in front of a strong man who could easily destroy tens of thousands of troops.

Although Secret Blue Star does not have systematic knowledge of superpowers, there are also strong people who have discovered the way to superpowers. The War Talisman Sect is a gathering place for practitioners in Rune City and has a transcendent status, but even the founder of the sect,

They could only barely deal with a thousand rune guards, and they would have to fight for at least half a day. The killing efficiency was simply not at the same level as the aliens in front of them. After the battle report came back, the Rune Lord had the last hope to invite the War Talisman Sect.

The warriors stopped the aliens and were rejected directly. The War Talisman Sect that came into contact with the superpower category was very powerful. They knew that they were powerless and did not give the Lord of Runes a chance to speak... even though they had to accept huge amounts of money from him every year.

Appropriation.

Han Xiao reached out and touched the statue. The information on the panel was confirmed to be correct. This was the last lost statue.

When he stretched out his hand, the Rune Lord's body trembled obviously, and he met Han Xiao's gaze. He was frightened and hurriedly lowered his head.

Glancing at the nervous crowd, Han Xiao said calmly: "Don't worry, our mercenaries never kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Hearing this, everyone's anxious hearts suddenly dropped and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, who is the ruler here?"

The residents all pointed at the Rune Lord. Before the Rune Lord could relax, his face tightened and he gave a forced smile.

"You sent troops to sneak attack me?" Han Xiao asked: "Why don't you accept my request?"

The Rune Lord's lips trembled and he did not dare to answer.

"According to the principle of equal exchange among mercenaries, you attacked me. If you want to settle this matter, you must make compensation." Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to exchange for your own life?"

The Rune Lord was sweating coldly, feeling filled with grief and anger. This was the first time he had been threatened. Who would normally dare to speak to him like this?

And you injured so many of us, and you still want us to compensate you?

So overbearing!

"We have many extraterrestrial objects..." The Rune Lord gritted his teeth secretly, and could only bear the heartache, and asked his subordinates to make a list of the treasury and hand it to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao glanced at it briefly and was a little disappointed. The local currency of Secret Blue Star was meaningless to him. The only acceptable things were extraterrestrial objects. However, the inventory of Rune City was really a pile of rubbish. Most of it was waste, and a small part was

They were all products of rune technology. They were almost scrapped and had little value. Rune technology was not in line with his knowledge system. After reading the list from the beginning, he came to the conclusion that looking at this thing was a waste of time.

Help the poor!

Throwing away the list, Han Xiao shook his head, "The things you compensate cannot buy your life. I'm sorry, I can only make you pay for your mistakes."

The Rune Lord's expression changed drastically.
