Countless bullets surrounded Xia Yan from all angles. It was more like a tsunami than a downpour.
The relentless and fierce firepower, without any gaps, seemed to be a wall of bullets being blasted at Xia Yan from all directions.
Before they could even get close, Xia Yan's black phantom blocked them.
Swarms of drones attempting suicide attacks can be detonated prematurely by long-range attacks such as feathers and bullets fired from an unknown source the moment they fly over.
"Wow, drones must be expensive. No wonder they're the country with the highest military spending in the world, they really know how to spend money..."
A dense swarm of drones transformed into clusters of fireworks in mid-air.
Its only function is to produce a sound.
Even so, these self-destructing drones show no signs of stopping.
Xia Yan couldn't help but marvel at the US military's wealth and power.
It's worth noting that a military drone costs at least $100,000.
This estimate is based on the lowest possible price of 12.
A drone swarm typically consists of around fifty drones.
The battle has now lasted for more than twenty minutes.
The number of drones destroyed alone is more than a dozen.
The Black Ghosts that were sent out have been almost completely wiped out.
The re-formed black phantom was unable to break through the enemy's encirclement under the powerful suppression of firepower.
They also separated a dozen or so to surround Xia Yan, so that the main body would not lose consciousness from the attack.
Seemingly having learned their lesson, the American soldiers were all kept at a distance from magical attacks.
Furthermore, they are all equipped with infrared imaging instruments, so they will not be misled by the illusions created by the fog of "justice".
Meanwhile, the mechanical legions that had been held back by the Black Ghost began to advance towards Xia Yan's location after breaking free of their restraints.
Once they arrive on the battlefield, their firepower will increase several times over in an instant.
It seems to be just as the US military commanders had anticipated.
Everything seemed to be developing in a way that was unfavorable to Xia Yan.
Just then, the mechanized forces that had been held back by the Black Ghost arrived at the battlefield one after another.
For Xia Yan, who already had no way to launch an effective attack, this was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
Under the overwhelming firepower of the mechanized forces, Xia Yan had to divert more Black Ghosts to defend against the damage, making his hopes of breaking through the defenses even slimmer.
As more and more US reinforcements arrived, Xia Yan's defense became increasingly difficult.
It's like a vicious cycle.
In the end, he even struggled to defend himself.
Although he appeared to be completely unharmed.
However, the shockwave from the explosion and the dust it kicked up had already begun to reach and cling to Xia Yan's clothes.
"Great! That evil demi-human is about to give up!"
The person who was most excited upon seeing this scene was undoubtedly the Prime Minister of the island nation, who was watching the live broadcast from Xia Yan's first-person perspective.
At this moment, the corners of his mouth were uncontrollably turned up in a wild smile.
He has completely lost the strong ability to control his facial expressions that he had developed over many years of political life.
He laughed like an Akita dog that had been dragged along its reins.
However, the ministers watching the live broadcast with him did not pay attention to the prime minister's expression.
They are even more pathetic than the prime minister at this point.
The champagne had already been opened, and the celebration had begun.
"As expected of the US military! They are truly powerful!"
"Is this the end of it? What a magnificent farce! As expected, demi-humans are economic animals that must be controlled!"
"But the urban area has also been extensively damaged, and with the situation escalating to this extent, our public support rate is likely to be quite low!"
"Let's take this opportunity to apply for a batch of low-interest loans from the United States. As long as we improve the treatment of those lowly people a little, they will obediently listen to us."
The Prime Minister smiled with satisfaction as he watched the ministers begin discussing the aftermath of the war.
At first, he was worried about how he would escape if the American forces were also defeated.
After all, Xia Yan had made it clear that he wanted all the high-ranking officials who had visited him to commit seppuku.
Obviously, this includes himself, the prime minister.
He had even planned to flee to the United States if things went wrong.
Considering his unwavering loyalty and years of service to the United States, they should accept him.
Now that the Prime Minister sees that Xia Yan has been completely suppressed, just as the US military commander had predicted, he can finally relax.
Now I shouldn't have to run away anymore.
He can continue to serve as the prime minister of his island nation.
But why do I have this vague, ominous feeling...?
It must be an illusion.
After all, I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past two days, so it's normal to have some heart palpitations at my age.
With that in mind, the island nation's prime minister stopped worrying about Xia Yan's matter.
"Prime Minister! You haven't had a good rest these past few days, have you? Let Taeko help you relax."
Upon hearing the minister's call, the prime minister turned around.
The Finance Minister, all smiles, led a girl who looked to be just a middle school student, timidly over.
Watching the ministers not only open champagne in their offices, but also openly invite a group of female secretaries to throw lavish parties.
"Ah, I really should relax."
The Prime Minister loosened his tie, a lewd smile spreading across his face, and turned off the live stream to join in.
……
Unlike the island nation's prime minister, who believed his fate was sealed and had begun indulging in pleasure.
At this moment, the US commander sitting in the command center of the armored vehicle was intently watching the situation on the battlefield.
Although he believed the battle was almost won, he wouldn't let his guard down until the very last moment.
Looking at Xia Yan, who was already covered in dust and grime on the screen, the US military commander couldn't help but reveal a confident smile.
Are you already overpowering me?
How to lose?
What to lose?
"Still not giving up? Demi-human Natsuhiko, you should know you have no chance of winning, right!?"
The commander spoke into the microphone in front of him, uttering words that sounded like a victory declaration.
Meanwhile, the message was relayed via radio from a drone hovering in the air above the battlefield.
On another screen, Xia Yan's first-person perspective live stream showed that he could clearly hear his own words, proving that he could hear them perfectly well as well.

"interesting……"
"You're telling me to give up? Do you think you've already got the victory in the bag?"
Hearing Xia Yan's words, the commander smiled and said:
"That's obvious, isn't it!?"
"There's an old saying in the East: ...Wei Junjie is a traitor. Surrender, Xia Yan! It's not shameful for the world to know you surrendered to the US military."
It seems that because he knew Xia Yan's ancestral home was in the East, the US military commander even showed off a sentence in Chinese.
However, due to his overly awkward accent, he actually sounded like a colonel.
"I hope you will cooperate with us. As long as you reveal the source of your power, we will not treat you unfairly."
Upon hearing the American commander's offer of surrender, Xia Yan remained silent for a moment, then laughed.
It was a condescending smile.
It's like the smile a human makes when they look down on two ants fighting over a grain of sugar and find it amusing.
A smile that is extremely annoying.
"Really? You're very confident..."
"Do you believe I'll shove your head up your ass in a minute?"
Although Xia Yan's tone was very casual when he said this, his eyes were extremely serious.
Obviously,
He was really prepared to shove the commander's head into his own ass.
"Foolish demi-human! What's the point of gaining such verbal advantage at this point? If you offend me, you'll regret it when you get to America!"
"I'll have a hundred ways to get you to talk!"
Looking at the mocking smile on the screen, the commander's voice involuntarily turned cold.
He didn't understand why Xia Yan could still wear such a haughty smile even though he looked disheveled.
Do you think I'm bluffing?
Knowing that the other party was watching his live stream, Xia Yan simply took off the live streaming device that was clipped to his ear and pointed it at his face.
His eyes were full of mockery.
