Chapter 446 First
Anlong United Kingdom.
The Principality of Yako, the main city is Raou.
In a large and spacious apartment, the top executives of the Miracle Guild were having a heated discussion in the living room. The vice president "Lightning Pinecone" frowned and reported the situation to the president in charge:
"The situation is a bit bad, President. After the last time the team of 'You Stir-fried Legs' were captured in the Empire's Undead Prison, 'Crazy Fan' and their team were also captured, and this time they were directly identified at the border checkpoint. Arrested on the spot..."
"In addition to these two teams, there are currently many members who have sneaked into the border cities of the empire and have been intensively attacked... A small number of them have been killed too many and have entered the resurrection cooling period. Most of them have been targeted and arrested. Capture.”
Another guild executive said in a deep voice.
President "Mortal Red Dream" was a little annoyed and gently rubbed his cheeks with his palms. After a long silence, he said:
"Is this an official action from the empire?"
"That's right..."
The vice president hesitated.
The president raised his head with dissatisfaction on his face.
"What do you mean?"
"Well... the specific situation is a bit complicated, because the players involved in the pursuit and capture are all players from the empire camp, and they are all famous high-level players on the rankings, including 'Polaris', 'Dongyang' and 'Chen Xi'em."
The vice president said quickly.
"The 'Polaris' at the top of the list?!"
The president looked a little surprised, and immediately leaned on the sofa again, pressing his temples.
"Ying Ling Pavilion, Shen Ai and Chu Xi... there are two of the three major guilds, and there are some first-class guilds. I know that these people all belong to an extraordinary force called the 'Circus'."
"Yes, President...the leader of the circus, the NPC named Jack is also a senior member of the Empire's Seven Orthodox Churches, and is also a member of the Empire's Judgment Panel. It is precisely because of his order that he was attracted to Thousands of high-ranking players hunted and arrested our people... With the cooperation of the imperial military and the church, our people had no way of hiding.”
The deputy explained.
The president sighed and patted the table with his hand.
Bang!
Everyone present was silent and the atmosphere was very solemn.
"Even if you die, so many people have been arrested. These are all elite players cultivated by the guild... half of them have been promoted to extraordinary, and the rest have accounts of more than 20 levels. Now All destroyed!”
The president angrily yelled.
He was breathing heavily, feeling that the loss was too huge, and he didn't know how to deal with the consortium behind him.
"President...what should we do now? The follow-up team has been prepared, do we still need to send it out?"
a senior executive asked cautiously.
The president glared at him.
"Don't you think the loss is big enough? The empire has taken such a big move. It's already a serious move. If you send people there again, you'll be sending them away! Cancel them all! By the way, let those members who are still operating on the border of the empire find a way to come back as soon as possible to stop the losses. How much is how much..."
"Yes, President, I understand."
The senior executive responded quickly.
Everyone present was a little downcast, because they knew that not only would they lose the accounts of many members this time, but they would also ruin the team's hard-earned version of the "Royal NPC Network."
In the last version, the guild leader met the royal prince of Yaco Principality due to an accident, and spent a lot of resources of the guild to increase his favorability. Now he finally triggered the large-scale serial mission of "Border Raid", but it seems that at present , I can only give up...
"President, would you like to remind the two guilds, 'Bliss Rock' and 'White Horse', that they have also participated in some related tasks..."
The vice president said softly.
"No need."
The president waved his hands decisively and immediately showed a vicious expression.
"It was originally a task that we finally received, but they intervened and got some benefits... Our family cannot be in bad luck."
He raised his head and warned the senior officials.
"Although we suffered heavy losses in this mission, the subsequent war between the two countries is the highlight! There are only three first-class guilds in the Anlong United Kingdom, and we must take advantage of this opportunity to make up for all the losses. If possible, it is best to let They're out!"
"Yes, President..."

Deserted Vulture City.
In a block near the north, a violent explosion suddenly sounded.
Boom!
An explosion occurred in an abandoned warehouse. Fire and thick smoke rose into the sky, and countless gravel and rubble flew across the sky.
"Run! Don't get caught by them!"
A player covered in dust and dirt shouted at the top of his lungs. He rushed out of the ruins and turned to flee towards the north.
There is a drainage channel over there. As long as you enter the sewer that has been arranged in advance, you can escape from Vulture City, and then find a way to leave the border and return to the base camp of the United Kingdom of Anlong.
There were several players who acted in concert with him, and the others scattered and fled, as if they had a way out.
However, when the player ran into an alley, a slender shadow suddenly spread out from the shadows of several trash cans and wrapped directly around his feet.
This directly caused him to fall over and cry out in pain.
The next second, an arm emerged from the shadow, holding a dagger in its palm. There were just a few puffs, and the blade pierced the player's lower back, thigh and calf.
Blood flowed out and the player screamed in pain.
At the same time, he also heard the screams of his companions, who seemed to have experienced the same thing as him.
Looking up, I saw a man wearing a black bowler hat slowly standing up from the shadows on the ground and walking toward them with the light behind him.
After a quick inspection, all the horizontal lines were unknown, and only the crimson dangerous name "Morey, the man behind the circus" was shining.
"What kind of bad luck is this?! I met Jack's famous elite!"
The player suddenly felt like crying.
He turned to look at his companions. Several of them had also lost their mobility and were slumped on the ground, their faces full of grievance.
Everyone knows that the reason why the other party doesn't kill you immediately is because they want to capture them alive and put them in an immortal prison... In that case, the version of the account that I have worked so hard to play will be immediately declared scrapped!
But they did not dare to commit suicide on the spot, because the resurrection point had already been surrounded by Imperial players and troops, and they would be arrested on the spot once they were revived.
From the beginning, the opponent had been prepared to use intensive strafing and bombing to put them into a fighting state, unable to get out... Everything was like an airtight net, trying to trap them, the members of the Anlong United Kingdom, Kill all the players.
Several players were filled with strong unwillingness and struggled to crawl slowly on the ground with their hands, trying to stay away from the approaching red NPC.
Pat, pat...
The leather heels collided with the ground, making a crisp sound, ringing in their ears like a bell of despair.
The strong "desire to survive" urged several players to crawl harder and escape towards the alley ahead.
But then, several players suddenly discovered that the footsteps behind them disappeared.
"?!"
When they looked back, the red-named elite NPC had disappeared inexplicably.
"Huh?! Where did he go?!"
"No...I don't know."
Several people were a little happy. Although they didn't know what happened, they seemed to have escaped by chance.
"Don't worry about it, leave the alley and hide in the sewer in front!"
Someone shouted quickly.
So several players crawled hard and dragged out several long blood trails.
But when they came to the entrance of the alley, they found that an Empire player happened to be passing by. Several pairs of eyes met him instantly, and everyone on both sides was stunned.
"Huh? Again... four this time?"
Polaris murmured in surprise.
He made a prompt decision and directly took out the rope he carried with him, tightly restrained the four Miracle Guild players on the ground, and then took out his walkie-talkie to notify the nearby imperial troops to come.
"Brother, don't be like this, let us go... How about I give you credits to buy your life?"
The players of the Miracle Guild were struggling and begging for mercy.
But Polaris remained unmoved.
He indifferently tied a few people to the guardrail on one side, and then silently waited for the official personnel to arrive.
But my heart became more and more doubtful.
When hunting enemy players in the past two days, there will always be some "surprise" unexpected situations. Like now, people can be easily caught.
At first he thought it was a coincidence, but as the number of times increased, Polaris became suspicious.
"Is someone secretly helping me...?"
He couldn't help but think to himself.
"Who could it be? It shouldn't be a player...but which NPC would help me for no reason..."
Polaris suddenly realized something, and a figure flashed in his mind.
teacher!
He thought of Jack's meaningful look at him in the carriage, and he suddenly understood at this moment.
"The teacher wanted me to get first place in the task, so he probably sent circus officials to help me secretly!"
For some reason, Polaris suddenly felt like he was being favored by his elders.
This feeling was very subtle, and it also touched him deeply.
Even though he knew that this was just a game and Mr. Jack was just a fictional character, Polaris was moved indescribably.
"I can't let him down..."
Polaris took a deep breath and looked down at the enemy player who was still begging for mercy and trying to "bribe" him with real-life credits, his eyes becoming more determined.
"I will definitely become the first mid-sequence extraordinary player in the new version!"

The old warehouse area looked like ruins, and the smoke and dust around it had not completely dispersed.
Groups of uniformed imperial troops shuttled inside, either searching for or escorting bound undead strangers.
In a spacious open space, Floy was standing quietly, with some imperial officers and clergymen of the Church of the Moon standing behind him.
Polar Star, Dongyang, Chen Xi and others, as well as hundreds of circus players, gathered in front of Floy.
Everyone looked at the captured players with different expressions, but most of them looked gloating.
"How dare you... You actually came here to cause trouble before the war. This is not how you look for excitement. It's okay now, just switch to version 9.0."
The Dragon King taunted in a low voice.
Dongyang and others couldn't help but shake their heads, while several female players laughed.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. In these operations, we have killed tens of thousands of undead stranger thugs in total, and the cumulative number of arrests is also thousands... Although we have not completely eliminated the enemy undead that have infiltrated the border, the current effect is remarkable. .”
Floy was wearing an exquisite black and purple dress, with a small sloping hat on her head, and a purple chrysanthemum on the brim. She looked like an aristocratic lady.
Her ethereal voice came out from under the black gauze, and the surroundings couldn't help but become a little quiet.
"I have just received the news from Lord Jack. The war may gradually begin in the next two days, and your mission has come to an end for the time being..."
The next second.
All players received a prompt box indicating that the task was completed, and everyone's face showed a look of joy.
Although everyone receives different rewards due to their achievements, the experience points accumulated during this period can be upgraded several levels.
Among them, Polaris was slightly stunned. Dongyang Chenxi and others around him all looked at him, their expectant eyes focused on him.
"How's it going, Brother Beizi? Did you get first place?"
The Dragon King asked cautiously with a dog-legged look on his face.
Several others were also curious.
After receiving the "extra task" from the teacher, Polaris did not keep it secret this time, but told his companions, not only because the offline gathering made their relationship closer, but also because Polaris clearly knew that alone You can't get first place on your own.
So he needs help from these partners.
Fortunately, Dongyang and others did not disappoint him. Although they said words of envy or jealousy, they still deliberately gave him "a head" in action, and sent the players they captured to Polaris, hoping to fulfill his wish. .
This is not a bad thing, because Dongyang and others also know that once Polaris can complete this "extra task" and obtain the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence Seven, then...
The first mid-level transcendent player in the entire server will be born from their team!
This will not only benefit the next team operations, but also indirectly increase one's own visibility. Of course, the most important thing is that they all regard Polaris as a deep friend.
Polaris took a deep breath, nodded heavily to his friends around him, and smiled:
"Got it!"
He looked at the "Achievements: Killed 741 enemy players, captured 340 enemy players, ranked 01" displayed on the panel, and felt infinite joy and emotion in his heart.
Polaris has a thousand words, and he wanted to say them to his team mates and his NPC teacher Jack, but in the end he only said a solemn sentence:
"Thank you guys."
Dongyang patted his shoulder, smiled and shook his head.
The Dragon King and Nana were bald, showing expressions of admiration.
"Brother Beizi, hurry up and collect your rewards. Once you are promoted to the middle rank, you will be able to protect us!"
"What's so great is that I can get promoted earlier..."
Goutou Jin said something sour, but was "mercilessly slapped" by his good friend Wang Wuji.
Polaris glanced at them, smiled and accepted the reward.
A deck of playing cards suddenly appeared in his hand, and everyone looked at it in surprise and confusion... because in their understanding, extraordinary knowledge was recorded in books or paper.
"Is this a deck of cards?"
the centaur said in surprise.
"It should be..."
Polaris is also a bit unclear, so turn it over to see.
Each poker card was engraved with words that shimmered in light blue, like delicate patterns that decorated ordinary poker cards into works of art.
What they didn't know was that this was extraordinary knowledge copied by Chen Lun using his new sub-professional [Inscription Master]. In order to enhance the compatibility of the sequence knowledge, he chose playing cards as the inscription carrier and medium.
However, because the level of [Inscriber] is still LV1, it took a lot of effort.
As his eyes swept over the rays of light on the playing cards, Polaris felt a torrent of knowledge pouring into his mind. Not long after, the prompt popped up again on the panel——
[You discovered the extraordinary knowledge of "Fate Sequence Seven-Magician"! 】
[The promotion conditions have been met and the promotion task has been triggered! 】(End of this chapter)
