Chapter 447 The First Confrontation

Seeing Polaris in a daze, Dongyang and the others were a little puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

Polaris was silent for a few seconds, and sent a screenshot of the description of the promotion task on the panel to the chat room. When all the partners in the team saw the screenshot, they all showed strange expressions.

"Promotion mission? And this thing?"

Dragon King was a little puzzled.

Chen Xi explained from the side:

"Some members of our guild have inquired about the relevant information. It seems that in the middle sequence, the promotion of superhumans requires corresponding rituals in addition to the two hard indicators of level and knowledge... For our players, it should be a task. .”

"It's really troublesome..."

The Dragon King scratched his head complainingly.

"That's good! There is a threshold to highlight the difference of mid-sequence transcendents, and you don't want the players behind us to catch up easily with the passage of time and version iterations?"

Goutoujin made a comment.

"makes sense…"

The Dragon King shrugged.

After discussing for a while, Dongyang and others spoke out at the right time:

"Okay, what we have to do now is to help Polaris complete this promotion task..."

"Well said."

Chen Xi nodded in agreement.

Judging from the screenshots, Polaris' promotion mission is called "Turning the Universe", which roughly describes that it is a turning point in the mid-sequence for the extraordinary person of the destiny system, and it also means the turning point of fate, which requires the promotion person to take part in an important "turning point". The reversal in "Battle Show" is as unexpected as magic.

The task condition is to defeat or kill the opponent in a one-on-one situation when the health value is lower than 10%. The opponent's level must not be lower than your own, and it cannot be a player.

"Unfortunately, the target of the mission can't be a player, otherwise we can send a random person to help Bei Zi complete the promotion..."

The Dragon King sighed.

"There are so many loopholes for you to exploit, the idea is too beautiful..."

Su Keying rolled his eyes at him, and continued:

"However, this task does not seem to be difficult. The two countries are about to go to war. There are many opportunities to find Sequence Eight hostile Transcendents on the battlefield. At that time, let's use some Transcendents that deduct life points in advance to make Polaris stuck in the Ten percent of his health, and then help him create a one-on-one environment, it will be much easier."

"That's a good idea."

Dongyang nodded.

Everyone looked at Polaris and asked for his opinion.

"what do you think?"

"Can."

Polaris thought for a while, raised his head and smiled at them, nodded.

"Thanks."

"Why are you polite, Brother Beizi!"

Su Keying imitated the Dragon King's tone, and even patted him on the shoulder.

Polaris shook his head helplessly.

Bryce Military District gate.

A group of people came out slowly, led by a young gentleman in a black hat and dress, with a silver cane.

"Leader, is the time fixed?"

Golov lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.

Chen Lun did not squint, and hummed lightly.

"There have been meetings these past few days, each time for seven or eight hours without interruption. If you were an ordinary person, you would have been exhausted and paralyzed long ago... The Church of the Seven Gods and the Empire officials are really not of the same mind. They are noisy and unwilling to come out. Too much effort."

He shook his head and sighed.

"However, the results are finally here... We will officially gather tomorrow and set off early the morning after tomorrow. The area we are in charge of is the southwest, and our goal is the Hercule bridgehead, which can directly lead to the hinterland of the Principality of Aco, separated by a spacious Benavides road." River, as long as the bridgehead can be breached, it is equivalent to opening up a road for the imperial army to directly attack the key points of the Principality of Yaco."

"For such an important military fortress, Anlong's side should deploy a large number of troops, right?"

Jinbei Councilor Frey thought for a while and said.

"certain."

Chen Lun nodded.

At this time, everyone had come to the carriage, and he gestured to talk after getting in the carriage, so the group respectfully let Chen Lun board the carriage first, and then went up one after another.

After everyone sat down, a Silver Cup member drove the carriage, and Golov participated in the discussion this time.

"Continue our topic just now."

Chen Lun asked Barton to pour himself a glass of iced milk, and talked while drinking.

"Although the Hercule bridgehead will be heavily guarded, the strength of the imperial army can completely reverse the terrain disadvantage. We don't have to worry too much about it... The extraordinary people sitting inside the bridgehead are our goal."

He looked at his subordinates and added another sentence:

"This is also our duty to go out with the army... While guarding against the opponent's various extraordinary means, it is best to kill all the enemy's extraordinary."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Chen Lun lowered his eyes, thinking of some vague impressions from his previous life.

There were many battles in different regions in the Western War, and the slightly famous one included the Battle of Hercule Bridgehead... There is no other reason, this is one of the few places where the Imperial Army suffered.

When he was assigned to this area, Chen Lun was a little surprised.

However, he quickly took advantage of his prophetic advantage and the full-level [multitasking] to plan for the next action and came up with many countermeasures.

"In the previous life, the imperial army suffered a big loss here. Not only did they fail to capture the bridgehead, but they also lost tens of thousands of troops... At that time, the discussion on the forum was quite heated. It seems that Anlong's party was already under the bridgehead and the entire bridge. A considerable amount of explosives was arranged, and finally the imperial army and the bridgehead were all blown into fly ash. '

Chen Lun's eyes moved quietly, looking deep.

Everyone in the carriage saw how the leader was thinking, and didn't dare to disturb him.

"Um…"

Chen Lun groaned.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Barton on the side for a pen and paper, wrote a simple letter on the portable desk at hand, and stamped his exclusive seal.

After loading the envelope, he took out the gold cup token and rang it.

Ding!

Not long after, the faceless attendant escaped from the spirit world and appeared in front of Chen Lun.

"Good day, Master Jack, what can I do for you?"

The messenger bowed and saluted.

Chen Lun put the envelope and two gold pound tips on its tray, and ordered:

"Send the letter back to the headquarters and show it to Chairman Azgielo. I want to apply to the council for the right to use an [A-level creepy thing]..."

"No problem, Master Jack, leave it to me."

The faceless waiter agreed softly, bowed his head while holding the tray and took his leave.

After it left, Chen Lun looked back at everyone.

"I have divined some fragments of the future. The Imperial Army is likely to suffer at the Hercules bridgehead. There are many influencing factors..."

The subordinates all showed shock.

They did not question the accuracy of the group leader's divination, but Akbin asked at this time:

"Mr. Jack, do you want to inform the military and take precautions?"

"No need."

Chen Lun shook his head.

"First, the military doesn't trust the Church of the Seven Gods very much. Second, relying solely on divination rhetoric can't influence the military's decision-making at all."

There is another most important reason he didn't say, and that is that he is worried that the news will leak, which will lead to a change in the direction of the matter... At that time, his countermeasures may be ineffective.

Chen Lun is not sure that there are no ghosts in the military, and many players have joined the military. If this group of undead strangers know some news, it will spread quickly. After all, NPCs in this world still lack understanding of players .

"I have a plan and need your help."

Chen Lun said.

"As you please, Mr. Jack."

The councilors headed by Frey Akbin and the circus cadres all bowed their heads in response.

Chen Lun nodded, and slowly revealed his arrangement.

After a while.

Everyone looked thoughtful.

"We understand, Mr. Jack."

Three days later.

In a canyon in the desert, tens of thousands of imperial troops are marching in an orderly manner, followed by many carriages with equipped weapons.

Chen Lun and the cadres under his command traveled with the army, all sitting in a carriage painted with the sign of a generous parliament. The players walked with the main force and fell to the end.

The only ones who participated in this mission with Chen Lun were the elite players of the circus, and the number was around 2,000.

Not long after, a messenger informed Golov, who was driving the carriage, that the supreme commander, General Vance, had an order that the troops would rest at the mouth of the canyon for a while before setting off.

"knew."

Golov nodded calmly, and immediately conveyed the message to the carriage. After getting Mr. Jack's permission, he followed the troops and stopped in the shade on one side.

Chen Lun got out of the carriage, followed by Floyd and others.

He took off his hat and briefly scanned the environment.

The yellow-brown rock features are full of eyes, and some dry plants are rolled into balls, and they are bound by the wind and sand to dance on the ground...Further away, the mountain walls of the canyon are uneven, and even under the sun, they present a golden color. brilliant.

Some cacti with tenacious vitality stand on the mountain wall and the surrounding ground, and the traces of creatures such as scorpions and lizards are fleeting in sight.

"Where are you?"

Chen Lun asked softly.

"It's not far from the Benavidez River, through this canyon, you can reach the Kerr Plain..."

Golov replied.

Chen Lun nodded to show he understood.

He glanced at the temporarily erected barracks tents around him. Some imperial soldiers were eating canned food on a simple dining table, or checking their flintlock guns and sabers.

There are also some soldiers, carrying some sealed wooden boxes.

Chen Lun knew what it was.

Inflatable kayaks.

During the meeting, regarding the strategic deployment of the southwest region, one of them was about how to capture the bridgehead of Hercule. General Vance proposed that at the Benavides River, 30 kilometers away from the bridgehead, there is a straight line Shorter corners, maybe consider sneaking some troops in from there, detour ahead of time, and try to attack from the rear of the bridgehead.

But Chen Lun also knew that this basically wouldn't work.

The importance of the Hercule bridgehead, the Anlong United Kingdom is more aware than the Trisur Empire, and the other party even used the Transcendents of their galaxies to arrange a fairly meticulous protection and early warning along the Benavidez River.

The moment the imperial army even entered the Kerr Plain, they would be discovered.

But Chen Lun did not try to persuade them. After all, the military is responsible for these strategic plans and decisions... To put it simply, it has nothing to do with him.

Chen Lun observed the environment quietly, and suddenly felt a slight warning from his spiritual intuition. He pondered for a while, then bent down and grabbed a handful of clay on the ground, and found that it was a little dark red like blood.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Lun whistled again.

Phew!

Not far from under a thick cactus, a palm-sized lizard crawled over and jumped straight into Chen Lun's palm.

Chen Lun used [animal language] to communicate with him briefly and asked about some situations.

A long while.

He bent down and let the lizard go.

‘There is probably an ambush…’

Chen Lun thought to himself and sighed secretly.

'This kind of thing still needs to be reminded, after all, it involves the extraordinary power of the other party...'

He ordered his subordinates to stand by on the spot, and immediately strode towards a large tent in the center of the army. When the guard at the gate saw him, he saluted immediately.

Chen Lun nodded, opened the curtain and went in.

Inside the tent, a burly bearded man was sitting on a folding chair, wearing a general's uniform, and beside him were some high-ranking military officials. Opposite them, there were a few middle-aged men and women, wearing moon church and Clothing for the priests of the Hailing Regiment.

"Huh? Jack Consul, you are here."

General Vance glanced at the door, then took a sip from his coffee cup indifferently.

"Are you also here to remind me that there is an ambush by Anlong's side in the canyon?"

Chen Lun was a little surprised, and immediately looked at the members of the Moon Church and the Hailing Regiment, guessing that they might have realized something was wrong, and reminded General Vance in advance.

"Yes, General, I have found some clues. The canyon may be dangerous. It is best to let the army bypass it."

Chen Lun nodded and said.

General Vance chuckled.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but the scouts and mechanical falcons have already surveyed the entire canyon ahead of time, and they haven't found any trace of the enemy at all... Although the detour is safe, it will delay the fighter plane and slow down the progress of the entire battlefield."

"General, the enemy is most likely using extraordinary means to hide. Priest Kuni and I have noticed an abnormal mysterious aura... It seems that Jack Consul also feels the same way. Just to be cautious, please think more about it." .”

A senior female priest of the Moon Church said in a deep voice.

General Vance and the senior military officers beside him whispered a few words, then thought for a while, and said to Chen Lun:

"Well, I see."

Afterwards, the clergy from the Moon Church and the Hailing Mission stopped talking and got up and left the tent. They have done their duty in reminding them. As for what to do, it still depends on General Vance.

Seeing this, Chen Lun knew that it was pointless to stay any longer, so he turned around and turned back.

But he shook his head secretly, because he saw that General Vance obviously didn't take their words to heart.

‘The imperial military doesn’t even care much about the jury and the asylum, let alone the Church of the Seven Gods... Forget it, the situation of the battle has nothing to do with me, as long as I can get enough experience points smoothly. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

Half an hour later.

After the army was packed, they continued to march, but the direction of travel was still in the canyon.

Chen Lun sat in the carriage, opened the curtains to watch this scene, turned his head to his subordinates with a sullen face and said:

"If you encounter an emergency later, pay attention to General Vance's carriage and try to save his life... Other than that, there is no need to pay attention."

The subordinates were very surprised, but they didn't ask too many questions, they just answered solemnly:

"Yes, Mr. Jack."

Soon, when all the troops entered the canyon, there was a sudden noise above their heads.

Crackling!

On the mountain walls on both sides, those standing cacti suddenly burst into giant "meat blankets" that were brilliant like flowers!

Dense human bodies crawled out of it. They were naked and covered in mucus. At the same time, they threw the explosives in their hands with a ferocious and ferocious face.

"For the kingdom! Kill the invaders!"

"Long live Anlong!"

Boom!

For a while, the inside of the canyon shook.
