Chapter 456 No one understands players better than me
The next second, a sudden change occurred in the city.
Ha——
Roar——
There were bursts of blood-curdling roars, like wild beasts, but more terrifying than wild beasts. Immediately afterwards, twisted figures that were as dry as coke climbed all over the walls of the castle...
They retain some human characteristics, but their limbs are weirdly twisted, and their skin is as hideous as if it has been severely burned, and is covered with cracks, and even a bright red liquid that looks like lava and blood is constantly flowing out of it.
No facial features could be seen on the unrecognizable face, only the empty eye holes were deep and dark, as if terrifying hatred and malice were spreading inside, wanting to kill all living creatures in the world.
Chen Lun flicked his fingers, and his index finger came out of his hand, turning into a small white snake that flew against the rain of blood and flew into the sky out of thin air.
Through its perspective, Chen Lun overlooked the tragic situation in the city.
The people who were originally reduced to a puddle of ashes in the eternal fire underwent strange changes after being "watered" by the blood rain. Their corpses were covered in powder, and flesh and blood sprouts sprouted, intertwining and reorganizing their bodies. , turned into twisted human bodies like charcoal.
These dead were not only the defenders, but also countless ordinary residents.
The little white snake stagnated high in the blood rain, mist drifted through the emerald vertical pupils. Chen Lun used his life-seeing method to see these distorted information about the human body.
‘Flesh and blood sin punishment ritual? ’
On the ground, Chen Lun frowned slightly.
'This kind of twisted human body transformed by rituals is called 'fallen flesh puppet'. It is similar to the fallen believers who once ravaged the red disaster, but it is more powerful... They are more like products specially developed for the sun catapult. Through high temperature burning, flesh and blood Reorganization, mysterious pollution, and strong unwillingness and hatred finally entangled the spirituality that was about to dissipate and turned into a monster like this polluted creature. ’
He secretly analyzed it, and with his own mystical attainments, he even saw a trace of the ritual shadow of the "blasphemous Lord" Ragnar. Because this rain of blood is somewhat similar to the ritual that created the giant monster "Fallen Body".
Soon, twisted human monsters jumped down from the castle and rushed towards the imperial army.
The officers of the Imperial Army did not disrupt the rhythm of the attack due to the accident. They blew their whistles unusually calmly and directed the soldiers to shoot.
Braving the rain of blood, the Imperial Army picked up the flintlock rifle with a cold face and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang…
Even though their helmets and uniforms were corroded by the rain of blood and severe pain spread throughout their bodies, their iron will did not waver at all.
Just fire, reload, fire!
A large number of corrupted flesh puppets are constantly twisting their bodies, swinging from side to side with all fours on the ground, or hunched over, and charging in a weird posture like a spider crawling.
Their flexible and elusive trajectories allow them to dodge some bullets.
But on the battlefield, tens of thousands of muskets would not deliberately aim at all. When the overwhelming barrage enveloped them, the fallen flesh puppets were naturally hit by the bullets fired in their direction.
It's a pity that apart from spraying blood flowers on their bodies, they didn't slow down much.
Soon, except for a small number of fallen flesh puppets who were torn apart by dense bullets, the rest rushed into the imperial army's camp and began a bloody massacre.
"Uh-huh!"
"Ah!!"
The soldiers of the Imperial Army were brutally torn off their heads and arms by the monsters, and the muskets in their hands and the military spurs they carried were completely unable to carry out an effective counterattack.
Although these soldiers are well-trained and have extremely strong willpower, they are still just ordinary people... facing this group of polluted creatures transformed by rituals, they appear quite powerless.
The body of the fallen flesh puppet still retains high temperature. Even if some soldiers are not killed directly, they will be burned alive after being contaminated with the monster's blood.
For a time, screams and roars continued to be heard in the open land in front of the castle. Intensive gunshots could be heard all the time, making the battle situation very tragic.
In the rear, a makeshift observation deck.
General Vance, who was silently observing the battle situation, put down his monocular and looked gloomy.
"Is this all you expected? Would you rather accept Beelzebub's manipulation and turn into a wild dog driven by them, but also want to take a bite of the empire? Ridiculous!"
Two adjutants and some military leaders also stood on the stage. Their expressions were very solemn. It seemed that the imperial army's attack had encountered serious obstacles and the casualties began to rise sharply.
"General, if this continues, our soldiers will suffer heavy losses."
The adjutant said solemnly.
General Vance thought for a moment and turned his head slightly.
"Let the leaders of the Moon Church, Hailing Regiment and Generous Council come over..."
The adjutant immediately understood what the general meant.
Since the other party is using extraordinary means in the mysterious field on a large scale, if we want to deal with it well, we must of course turn to "professionals" for help.
After a while, Sister Suha, Priest Kuni and Chen Lun were invited to the observation deck.
General Vance raised his hand and asked his subordinates to hand over three monocular binoculars.
However, Priest Kuni waved his hand and declined the kindness.
"General, we already know the specific situation."
General Vance seemed to have expected this and nodded.
After all, these three people are senior clergy of the church. They probably have abilities they don't understand and can explore the battlefield without using tools.
"In this case, have you three seen what the monster sent by the other party is?"
General Vance asked.
"It should be an evil ritual of flesh and blood that can transform ordinary people... I smell unpleasant pollution from them. Perhaps in a one-on-one situation, ordinary low-sequence extraordinary beings, It’s hard to compete with it.”
Sister Suha expressed her speculation.
Priest Kuni nodded in agreement.
"Through observation, it can be found that the monster is extremely physically strong, not afraid of pain, and has no humanity. It only has a strong desire to kill... This is no longer the category of extraordinary beings or extraordinary creatures, and should be classified as a product of some kind of ritual. ”
General Vance and the top military officials frowned even more after hearing this.
The general looked at the young man in black hat on the far right, as if asking the latter for his opinion.
"To be precise, this is a sacrificial ritual improved by the Red Apple Church or the Rose Royal Family by drawing on the research of Ragnar, the Blasphemous Duke. The main principle is to use high temperature and blood rain to transform ordinary people into a A polluted creature named 'Fallen Flesh Puppet'..."
Chen Lun held his silver cane and said calmly.
Sister Suha and Priest Kuni looked surprised. They did not expect that this young man knew so much and could even see the other person's details at a glance.
"High temperature...?"
General Vance did not question it. After hearing Chen Lun's words, he couldn't help but ponder. Then he raised his head, glanced at the catapult not far away, and cursed in a low voice:
"Damn Beelzebub, it seems that all this has been prepared."
Heaving a sigh of relief, the general turned around and asked the three of them if they were sure to eliminate all those "degenerate flesh puppets".
Sister Suha and Priest Kuni suddenly looked embarrassed.
"General, the strength of those monsters is nothing to us, but there are too many of them. It is estimated that there are thousands at the moment... and the blood rain has not stopped yet, and transformations are being continuously carried out in the castle. The monsters and the Imperial Army are in close combat and mixed together. Even if we launch a large-scale attack, it is easy to cause serious accidental injuries.”
Priest Kuni sighed and explained.
General Vance's face was gloomy. He knew that Priest Cuni was not just trying to shirk the situation, and what he said was quite reasonable.
Before the war began, although the Church of the Seven Gods supported the Western War and was willing to send clergy to accompany the army, their main responsibility was only to ensure the personal safety of the commanders.
To support the frontal battlefield, it is most convenient.
Just when General Vance was at a loss what to do, the young man in black hat next to him suddenly spoke:
"General, perhaps this matter can be left to my army of undead strangers to try."
"Huh?"
Everyone turned their heads to look.
General Vance still frowned and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you sure?"
Just listen to Jack chuckle and continue:
"The war experience during this period has allowed them to make rapid progress... They are originally extraordinary people, and coupled with their immortality, I believe they are enough to curb the momentum of those 'fallen flesh puppets'."
After hearing this, General Vance pondered for a moment and then nodded.
"In that case, those damn monsters are left to you, Archon Jack."
He took a deep look at Chen Lun and added:
"If things go well, I will personally state your achievements to the prince after the war."
"It's just a small contribution to the empire, general."
Chen Lun smiled slightly, took off his hat and bowed.
Immediately, he said goodbye and left on the pretext of gathering an army of undead strangers.
Everyone watched his back as he got off the high platform and gradually moved away.
Priest Kuni and Sister Suha looked at each other. They were actually a little puzzled. Why would those immortal strangers obey Jack's orders so willingly?
In fact, the Church of the Seven Gods has studied this sudden group earlier than any other force. Although they have great potential and possess the characteristics of immortality, they are extremely uncontrollable, let alone loyal.
The church tried many methods, but none of them could effectively control the immortal strangers, so that they finally gave up on this group and never regarded them as their own.
But here with Jack, the situation seemed completely different.
Suha and Cooney had witnessed with their own eyes that the immortal strangers surrounded Jack very enthusiastically, even affectionately calling him "leader" and shouting that they were willing to die for him.
Among them was a young-looking girl who kept shouting weird words such as wanting to have a child for him, just like those ignorant girls who were bewitched by cults.
At that moment, Sister Suha even felt a tinge of pity.
The unknown and puzzlement seemed to have turned into a cloak made of mist, covering the tall and straight back, making it appear even more mysterious.

After Chen Lun returned to his temporary tent, he immediately opened the panel and prepared the latest side mission for his players——
[Side mission: Western War/Battle of Nabil Forest Castle/Rain of blood in the city! 】
He very "intimately" explained the information and origin of the "Corrupted Flesh Puppet" to the players in the mission description, described the various cruel details in the blood rain ceremony in great detail, and rendered the players into fighting against the pollution monsters. A hero is the savior of the empire, a fearless warrior from a foreign land.
It sounds ridiculous, but this can give players a greater sense of immersion, and they will also have a greater sense of accomplishment when killing pollution monsters with a knife in hand.
He understands how to increase gaming experience and create gaming pleasure.
'No one understands players better than me...'
Chen Lun was lying on an easy chair, holding a glass of ice milk and shaking his head.
‘You guys must learn to be grateful. This is the mission I worked so hard to win for you... If you don’t kill a few more pollution monsters, how can you be worthy of me? ’
Like an old man enjoying the shade under a tree, he gently rocked his chair, and with a slight creaking sound, he finalized the task and sent it out.
It didn't take long.
The military personnel in the rear camp, as well as the church clergy, heard the noisy movement. The two thousand immortal strangers who were originally on standby were seen taking action, leaving the camp in a swarm and rushing towards the castle in the distance.
The mouths of those immortal strangers were still shouting words that were incomprehensible:
“Let’s do it, let’s do it!”
"What the hell, the mission is finally here! It makes me anxious to death!"
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."
"In the last version of Scarlet Battle, I was bullied by this thing a lot. Now let's see if I can kill those 'degenerate meat puppets'!"
"You are mistaken. The one in the previous version is called 'Fallen Believer', which is not a monster at all..."
"Whatever, it's all a thing cooked up by the Rotten Apple Church to harm people! Who are we? We are warriors from a foreign land, specializing in all kinds of evil ways!"
"Wow! My fire fist is so thirsty!"
"And my magic scroll, I'm going to kill too!!"
This group of people was a mass of people, without any discipline at all, and ran towards the battlefield yelling, but the military and church personnel observing them couldn't help but feel a subtle power.
After all, these are two thousand extraordinary beings. Even though they are still at a low level, when they are mobilized together, their power cannot be underestimated!
Soon, the Imperial Army, which was forced to retreat after being attacked by the fallen flesh puppets, was supported by the Undead Stranger Legion.
As for the players' support, it was quite direct and rough. There was no leader to give unified command, but several people working in groups of more than a dozen, fighting individually.
They first took out the "Connie No. 2" flintlock rifles with "various skins" in a tacit understanding, and kept pulling the trigger, firing dense black-red electro-optical ballistics, suppressing the corrupted flesh puppets in the chaotic battlefield.
Bang bang bang…
Black crystal bullets made of Longli Stone as raw materials contain the power of annihilating activity, and they seem to be the nemesis of these corrupt flesh puppets... After they are shot, their wounds continue to wither, gradually affecting their mobility.
Subsequently, the players threw "red and blue ink" bombs into the area where the corrupted flesh puppets were densely packed, causing waves of roars.
When the distance between the two sides was close, the players each used their own sequential abilities. Huge and strong men charged forward, holding various heavy cold weapons, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the fallen flesh puppets, which was quite bloody.
Among them, the most eye-catching ones are the dozens of tauren headed by the nugget gold. They spurted white air from their nostrils and collided with the twisted and polluted human body at extremely fast speeds, causing the shattered flesh and blood to fly across the air.
Countless sharp arrows screamed across, piercing the body of the twisted monster.
Rounds of red or blue mysterious symbols appeared in the sky. They were players of the magic system, providing various BUFFs to their companions. There were also pieces of acid clouds floating by, dropping long dark green linear arrows, attacking monsters. They cause mass destruction.
However, the corrupted meat puppets are not weak targets. They can be ravaged by players. With their dexterous and cunning postures and sharp claws, they have torn the bodies of many players into pieces.
White lights also lit up on the battlefield one after another...
Sitting on the easy chair in the camp behind, Chen Lun looked at the panel calmly. Prompt boxes kept popping up, and the experience value column increased at a rapid rate.
[Circus player "Chen Xi" killed the fallen meat puppet, and you gained 300 experience points! 】
[Circus player "Polaris" killed the fallen flesh puppet, and you gained 300 experience points! 】
[Circus player "Invincible Charizard" killed...]
He smiled slowly. (End of chapter)
