The first explosion rang out behind Lu Ping’an, but he had no intention of looking back.
The silver-armored knight charged forward at full speed like a galloping horse, undoubtedly becoming the first target to attract firepower.
He was fast, but not fast enough.
He dashed straight ahead, too lazy to dodge.
This time, after the targeting was completed, there was no reason for the Aus people’s guns to miss.
Each blooming spark brought tremendous physical pressure to the heavily armoredcharger while it was in bloom.
The explosion was right on his face and chest.
The nitrogen acceleration of Lu Ping’an’s Heavenly Boots and his own wave-stacking ability were stopped by the gunfire.
Sparks exploded on his armor, and Lu Ping’an could not advance, so he had to raise his shield to resist.
The wooden shield instantly shattered into splinters.
At this moment, Lu Ping’an felt surprised, as he had already increased the power of these firearms several times, he didn’t expect the transformation from handheld firearms to ground artillery to be so powerful.
"How is it?"
"...Very strong, but not mysterious enough..."
As Zhi Xi’s words still rang in his ears, Lu Ping’an gave himself another layer of Turning Stone into Iron.
Lu Ping’an’s armor, along with the symbiotic Demon Plant, was frighteningly heavy, but now it was hit hard by the powerful physical explosion, causing him to retreat constantly.
However, his armor was not ordinary, with at least four layers of mystery on it, greatly enhancing its solidity... Without corresponding mysterious weapons, you can use physical strength to break its hardness protection, but you can’t quickly tear the multiple layers of mystery on it easily.
As long as the mystery is not broken, its hardness is extremely considerable. From the results, Lu Ping’an, as a target, was shot back constantly, but his defense was never broken.
This is also the fundamental reason why ordinary military equipment is basically useless for high-level professionals. Even if their physical strength is not high enough, they often prepare some specialized armor and abilities that are very effective against ordinary firearms.
Lu Ping’an tries to continue moving forward, using his strongest arm as a support for defense.
His arm was forcibly blown apart, and another round of gunfire hit his face, causing the armored man to lean back... He shook his head and stood back up.
"I need a more useful shield..."
At this moment, the most surprised was Lu Ping’an himself.
His current basic Physique had reached Brass Upper, and with this armor and the symbiotic Demon Plant as "artificial muscle," his physical strength had definitely exceeded Silver-tier and may have even reached Silver Mid-position.
Now, however, he was hit by the gunfire, losing his balance and constantly retreating.
That is to say, the barbarian-type, heavy-armored battle-professions of the fourth-fifth tier might also be knocked down by this concentrated fire, and it’s possible that they would be wiped out in a flash if their defensive gear was not strong enough.
"This power..."
Lu Ping’an shook his head and got up again.
Although the explosive force of this stuff was indeed strong, as long as it could not penetrate his "composite armor," it could not kill him... Then, his task was completed.
"Ignore him!"
Finally, someone reacted.
They quickly turned their guns, but it was a bit too late.
When Lu Ping’an led the way (as a target), the following professionals made sure that he was not easily crushed and naturally followed up.
As long as the risk is reduced to an acceptable range, these old stagers of the battlefield won’t miss a good opportunity.
Lu Ping’an’s "tenacity" completely exceeded the expectations of both sides in the battle. Both sides knew the power of these firearms, but they didn’t know the absurd hardness of the Silver-tier Demonized Armor+ Symbiotic Demon Plant+ 2-tier Heavy Armor Warrior after repeated stacking.
The strength of this whole defense system was far beyond his normal professional level.
At present, in the tactical system, the only one who can easily break through Lu Ping’an’s defense is his "master," that powerful battle-profession who stepped into the Rule-level.
The Undead armor seemed to have gotten used to the baptism of gunfire, swaying and standing up again slowly and firmly moving forward.
But this time, the gunfire aimed at him was much less... They had to pay attention to the other attackers.
Lu Ping’an forcibly moved forward under the fire net, shocking both sides of the battle while also independently opening up a path, a straight path to crush the opponent’s defensive line.
The other attackers, the "smart" ones, hid behind Lu Ping’an, forming a core to advance.
This was like an ancient and effective infantry-tank joint tactic, as long as the "tank" doesn’t collapse, it would just roll over, and the line would not be able to withstand it.
The "tank" doesn’t need to do much, just serve as a barrier and target walking through, leaving the actual killing work to the "infantry" behind them.

With the confident high-speed professionals also advancing rapidly, they intentionally or unintentionally shared the pressure on Lu Ping’an.
When Lu Ping’an was about a hundred meters away from the front, the Aus gunmen could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, and more gunfire focused on Lu Ping’an.
But at this distance, everything was actually over...
When the professionals entered the firing range, they either used their Runner Ability to accelerate running, or teleported forward, or counterattacked with gunfire... The fixed defensive line’s firing advantage was leveled, the powerful artillery was blocked by this door of the "Great Wall," and what was left was a head-to-head competition between the two sides.
Explosions, screams, and the shouts of killing were endless. At such a close distance, the low walls could not withstand a single attack from the professionals.
When many enemy assault troops appeared inside the heavily fortified bunkers and trenches, even the most powerful defense line lost its meaning.
When the first ordinary defectors appeared, more and more gunfire was forced inward, and even backward.
Lu Ping’an fulfilled the missions of a "troop carrier" and a "tank" and did not stop.
He directly demolished the surrounding walls and stepped into the trenches.
This time, when he caught the gunfire in front of him barehanded, the Aus gunman who fired the shot was completely dumbfounded.
He remained calm, not saying a word from beginning to end, simply lowering his head, using his huge arm to pull and tear through the enemy ranks.
A rain of blood announced the arrival of the Silver Death God.
"... This is ’safe passage?’ This is the so-called ’safe passage?’"
The traces of gunfire were all over the front of his armor, while the back was still spotless. The path he walked was straight forward.
At the same time, it was the cleanest, most "peaceful" path on the battlefield full of craters.
When the battlefield’s Death God broke through the defensive line, when the red glow of his eyes shone through the armor, the Aus people completely lost their courage to resist.
Lu Ping’an directly crushed the still firing high tower turret, and the falling building shattered the city wall, announcing the victor of this battle.
