Chapter 447 The first confrontation
Seeing Polaris' stunned look, Dongyang and others were a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
Polaris was silent for a few seconds, then took a screenshot of the description of the promotion mission on the panel and sent it to the chat room. When all the team members saw the screenshot, they all showed strange expressions.
"Promotion mission? And this thing?"
The Dragon King was a little puzzled.
Chen Xi explained from the side:
"Some members of our guild have inquired about relevant information. It seems that in the mid-level and above, in addition to the two hard indicators of level and knowledge, the promotion of extraordinary people also requires corresponding rituals... For us players, this should be done. Mission.”
"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 extraordinary people. You don't want the players behind us to catch up easily with the passage of time and version iterations, right?"
Nugget Gold commented.
"That's right..."
The Dragon King shrugged.
After Dongyang and others discussed for a while, he spoke up at the right time:
"Okay, what we have to do now is to help Polaris complete this promotion task..."
"That's right."
Chen Xi nodded in agreement.
Judging from the screenshots, the promotion mission of Polaris is called "Turn the World Around". The rough description means that the fate of the extraordinary person in the mid-sequence is a turning point, and it also means the turning point of fate, which requires the promotee to be in an important "" The reversal was completed in "Battle Show", which was as unexpected as magic.
The mission condition is to defeat or kill the opponent in a one-on-one situation when the health value is less than 10%. The opponent's level must not be lower than yourself and cannot be a player.
"Unfortunately, the mission target cannot be a player, otherwise we can send just one person to help Brother Beizi complete his promotion..."
The Dragon King sighed.
"There are so many loopholes for you to exploit, it's so beautiful..."
Su Keying rolled her eyes at him and continued:
"But this task doesn't seem difficult. The two countries are about to go to war. There are many opportunities to find enemy extraordinary beings in sequence eight on the battlefield. When the time comes, we will use some extraordinary things that deduct health points in advance to make Polaris stuck. 10% of his health, and then help him create a duel environment, which will be much easier.”
"That's a good idea."
Dongyang nodded.
Everyone looked at Polaris and asked for his opinion.
"What do you think?"
"Okay."
Polaris thought for a moment, raised his head, smiled at them, and nodded.
"Thank you."
"Why are you so polite, Brother Beizi!"
Su Keying imitated the Dragon King's tone and patted him on the shoulder.
Polaris shook his head helplessly.

The gate of Bryce Military District.
A group of people walked out slowly, led by a young gentleman wearing a black hat and a silver cane.
"Captain, is the time confirmed?"
Golov lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.
Chen Lun didn't look sideways and hummed softly.
"We have been holding meetings continuously in the past few days, each time lasting seven or eight hours without interruption. An ordinary person would have been paralyzed by exhaustion... The Church of the Seven Gods and the official empire are indeed not of the same mind, and they are not willing to make any noise. Too much effort.”
He shook his head and sighed.
"But the results have finally come out... We will officially gather tomorrow and set off early the day after tomorrow. Our area of responsibility is the southwest, and our target is the Hercule Bridgehead, which can lead directly to the hinterland of the Principality of Yaco, separated by a spacious Benavide Sihe, as long as the bridgehead can be breached, it will be equivalent to opening up a way for the Imperial Army to directly attack the key points of the Yaco Principality. "
"For such an important military fortress, Anlong's side should deploy a large number of troops, right?"
Councilor Frey of the Gold Cup thought for a while and said.
"Inevitable."
Chen Lun nodded.
At this time, everyone had arrived at the carriage. He gestured to talk after getting in the carriage, so the group respectfully let Chen Lun board the carriage first, and then got on one after another.
After everyone was seated, a Silver Cup councilor went to drive the carriage, and Golov participated in the discussion this time.
"Continue what we were talking about."
Chen Lun asked Barton to pour him a glass of ice 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 this...the extraordinary beings stationed inside the bridgehead are our target."
He looked at his subordinates and added:
"This is also our duty when we go out with the army... While guarding against the opponent's various extraordinary methods, it is best to kill all the enemy's extraordinary people."
Everyone nodded solemnly.
Chen Lun lowered his eyes, thinking of some vague memories from his past life.
There were many battles in different areas in the Western War, and the slightly famous one included the Battle of Hercule Bridgehead...for no other reason than this was one of the few places where the Imperial Army suffered defeat.
Chen Lun was a little surprised when he was assigned to this area.
However, he quickly took advantage of his prophetic advantage and the full-level [Multi-tasking] to plan his next actions and come up with many countermeasures.
'The imperial army suffered a big loss here in the previous life. Not only did they fail to capture the bridgehead, but they also lost tens of thousands of troops... The discussion on the forum was quite popular at that time. It seemed that Anlong's side had already been at the bridgehead and under the entire bridge. , a considerable amount of explosives were deployed, and finally the Imperial Army and the bridgehead were all blown into ashes. ’
Chen Lun's eyes moved calmly and seemed profound.
Everyone in the carriage looked at the leader's thinking and did not dare to disturb him.
"Well..."
Chen Lun groaned.
Immediately afterwards, he asked Barton aside for a pen and paper, wrote a simple letter on the portable desk at hand, and stamped it with his own seal.
After putting it in the envelope, he took out the golden cup token and knocked it.
bite!
After a while, the faceless waiter escaped from the spirit world and appeared in front of Chen Lun.
"Good day, Sir Jack, how can I serve you?"
The messenger bowed.
Chen Lun placed the envelope and two gold pounds of tips on its tray and said:
"Send the letter back to the headquarters and show it to Speaker Azgierro. I would like to apply to the parliament for the right to use an [A-level artifact]..."
"No problem, Master Jack, leave it to me."
The faceless waiter agreed softly, bowed his head and excused himself with the tray in hand.
After it left, Chen Lun looked back at everyone.
"I have divined some fragments of the future. The Imperial Army is likely to suffer losses at the Hercule Bridgehead. There are many influencing factors..."
The subordinates all showed shocked expressions.
They did not question the accuracy of the leader's divination, but Akbin asked at this time:
"Mr. Jack, do you want to inform the military to take precautions early?"
"No need."
Chen Lun shook his head.
"First of all, the military doesn't trust the Church of the Seven Gods very much. Secondly, relying solely on divination can't influence the military's decision-making."
He also had one more important reason that he didn't say, and that was because he was worried that the news would be leaked, which would lead to a change in the direction of things... By then, all his countermeasures might be ineffective.
Chen Lun is not sure that there are no moles in the military, and many players have joined the military. If these undead strangers know some news, it will spread quickly. After all, the NPCs in this world still lack understanding of the players. .
"I have a plan and I need your help."
Chen Lun said.
"As you wish, Mr. Jack."
The councilors headed by Frey Akbin and the circus officials bowed their heads in response.
Chen Lun nodded and slowly explained 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 were marching in an orderly manner, followed by many horse-drawn carriages equipped with weapons.
Chen Lun and his cadres followed the army and sat in a carriage painted with the emblem of the Generous Parliament. The players walked with the large army and were last.
The only people who followed Chen Lun in this mission were elite players from the circus, numbering around two thousand.
Not long after, a messenger informed Golov, who was driving the carriage, that the supreme commander, General Vance, had ordered that the troops would rest at the mouth of the canyon for a while before setting off.
"Got it."
Golov nodded calmly and immediately conveyed the message to the carriage. After getting permission from Mr. Jack, the following troops stopped in the shade on one side.
Chen Lun got off the carriage, followed closely by Floy and others.
He took off his hat and briefly scanned the environment.
The yellow-brown rocks fill the eye, and some dry plants are rolled into balls, and are danced on the ground by the wind and sand... Further away, the walls of the canyon are uneven, even showing a golden color under the sun's exposure. of brilliance.
Some tough cacti stand on the mountain wall and on the surrounding ground, and 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 Benavides River. Through this canyon, you can reach the Ker Plain..."
Golov replied.
Chen Lun nodded, indicating that he understood.
He glanced at the temporary military camp tents surrounding him. Some imperial soldiers were eating canned food on a simple dining table, or checking their flintlocks and sabers.
There were also some soldiers carrying some sealed wooden boxes.
Chen Lun knew what it was.
Inflatable kayak.
During the meeting, regarding the strategic deployment in the southwest region, one of them was about how to capture the Hercule bridgehead. General Vance proposed that there is a straight line on the Benavides River thirty kilometers away from the bridgehead. For a short corner, you might consider sneaking some troops there, making a detour in advance, and trying to attack from behind the bridgehead.
But Chen Lun also knew that this was basically unworkable.
The Anlon United Kingdom is more aware of the importance of the Hercule bridgehead than the Trisur Empire. The other party even used the extraordinary beings from their galaxy to lay out quite rigorous protective warnings along the Benavidez River.
The moment the Imperial Army even enters the Kerr Plain, they will be discovered.
But Chen Lun didn't try to dissuade him. After all, the military was responsible for these strategic plans and decisions... To put it simply, it had nothing to do with him.
Chen Lun quietly observed the environment, and suddenly felt a slight warning from his spiritual intuition. He pondered for a moment, then bent down and grabbed a handful of clay on the ground, and found something dark red like blood.
After looking at it for a moment, Chen Lun whistled again.
call out!
A palm-sized lizard crawled under a thick cactus not far away and jumped directly into Chen Lun's palm.
Chen Lun used [Beast Language] to simply communicate with him and asked about some situations.
A long while.
He bent down and released the lizard.
‘There’s 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 other party’s extraordinary power...’
He ordered his men to stay put and immediately strode towards a large tent in the center of the army. When the guard at the door saw him, he immediately saluted.
Chen Lun nodded, opened the curtain and went in.
In the tent, a sturdy bearded man was sitting on a folding chair, wearing a general's uniform, flanked by some senior military officials. Opposite them, there were several middle-aged men and women sitting, respectively wearing Moon Church and The clothing of the clergy of the Hailing Regiment.
"Huh? Consul Jack, you are here."
General Vance glanced at the door, picked up his coffee cup and took a sip indifferently.
"Are you also here to remind me that there is an ambush on Anlong's side in the canyon?"
Chen Lun was a little surprised. He immediately looked at the people from the Moon Church and the Hailing Regiment, and speculated that they might have realized something was wrong and warned General Vance in advance.
"Yes, General, I have found some clues. The canyon may be dangerous. It is best for the army to avoid this place."
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 detected the entire canyon in advance, and have not 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... Archon Jack seems to have the same feeling. For the sake of caution, please add more Consider.”
A senior female clergy member of the Moon Church said solemnly.
General Vance and the military leaders beside him whispered a few words, then thought about it and said to Chen Lun:
"Well, I understand."
Afterwards, the clergy of the Moon Church and the Hailing Regiment stopped talking, stood up and left the tent. They have done their duty by making reminders. As for what to do, it still depends on General Vance's wishes.
When Chen Lun saw this, he also knew that there was no point in staying, so he turned around and turned back.
But he shook his head secretly, because he saw that General Vance obviously did not take their words to heart.
‘The Imperial Military doesn’t even think highly of the Tribunal and the Asylum, let alone the Church of the Seven Gods… Forget it, it has nothing to do with me as to how the battle goes, as long as I can gain enough experience points smoothly. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Half an hour later.
The army finished packing and continued to move forward, but the direction of travel was still into the canyon.
Chen Lun sat in the carriage, opened the curtains and looked at this scene. He turned to his subordinates with a sullen face and said:
"If there is 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 any more questions, they just replied solemnly:
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Soon, when all the troops entered the canyon, there was a sudden strange sound above their heads.
Crackling!
On the mountain walls on both sides, those standing cacti suddenly exploded into giant "carpets" that were as bright as flowers!
Densely packed 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 ferocious and ferocious faces.
"For the kingdom! Kill all the invaders!"
"Long live Anlong!!"
Boom! !
For a moment, the ground inside the canyon shook. (End of chapter)
