The Speaker's Vintage Knight Armor and Grey Robe are transcendental, with the former having some defensive abilities and the latter keeping people awake at all times and increasing the speed at which sanity regenerates.

But they are more symbolic than practical.

This is the signature attire of the Governing Council of Generous Parliament.

After Chen Lun finished putting on the knight's armor, he put on a gray robe outside, and the two adjusted themselves according to his body type. His appearance suddenly changed from an upper-class gentleman to a solemn commander.

The ring is also a status symbol, with a dark gray and simple carved appearance.

Chen Lun put it on his right index finger.

As for the metal plates, they resemble the tokens given to him by consuls such as Mulunga and Peggy. However, this blank rectangular piece of metal is his own.

Chen Lun understood how to use it according to the tips on the panel. So I sketched a pattern in my mind, and in the next second, a shadow rose on the blank metal sheet, and a flower-like "J" letter appeared in the center, surrounded by a very beautiful python.

From now on, this pattern will symbolize "Archon Jakespet", and the metal piece can be split and reproduced to give to others.

Chen Lun touched his chest with his right hand and bowed to the speaker and the consuls.

Immediately, he walked across the marble round table and took down the tenth seat that had been vacant.

"You're welcome, Jack."

Ginsburg's seat was next to him, and he patted Chen Lun on the shoulder very enthusiastically.

Mulunga, Peggy, Yasmin and Bindu gave them kind glances and smiled in congratulations.

The other four consuls, on the other hand, were less enthusiastic, and although they applauded, they only superficially coped with the Speaker's presence.

If it weren't for that, they probably wouldn't have said anything.

Chen Lun didn't care.

At this time, the male consul named Houston spoke calmly:

"In the process of preparing for the Archon Examination, the three Golden Cup Councillors, Gervas, Ryan, and Tapia, teamed up to devise a brilliant plan to attract the Light Split of Terrence of the Church of the Sun and muddy the situation......

He glanced at Chen Lun, who was sitting at the end of the seat.

"Although it is a means of competition, it is understandable, but after all, it is not conducive to the harmonious coexistence of internal members......

Hearing the Houston Archon's words, the three Kvasss immediately got up from the auditorium.

They faced Chen Lun with a worried expression, and bowed respectfully.

"We're so sorry for that, Lord Archon Jack."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Lun smiled faintly under the gaze of the consuls.

He waved his hand and continued:

"As the Houston Archon said, this is all a competitive tactic, and you can use the intelligence to lure it in through Terrence's personal vendetta against me, which is also your ability."

Seeing that he didn't blame, the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They wiped their cold sweat and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Lord Jack, for your forgiveness."

Chen Lun just nodded calmly, glanced at them, and said no more.

In fact, he knew very well that with his current status, if he really wanted to hold the three people responsible, he would definitely be able to make them unable to eat and walk around, and even the other party's consul boss would not be able to say anything.

But he didn't.

He has just entered the Senate and is still young, even if Ginsburg and others support him, there is no need to exacerbate the conflict between the two consul camps because of these three guys.

It's better to be lenient and leave the matter open for now.

In this way, for the next period of time, the four consuls, including Houston and Landa, will not be able to do anything against themselves as a "newcomer". Compared with the small stumbling blocks of the three Kvass, Chen Lun was more worried about the methods of the four consuls of the Senate.

"Since Archon Jack won't pursue it, then go down."

Houston's expression didn't change, he just said lightly to the three Kvass.

"Yes! Your Excellency Houston!"

The three of them replied, and then turned and walked away quickly.

Wait for this little episode to pass.

Speaker Azgiirro then spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to announcing the new consuls of the Senate, there is another matter of great importance in today's secret meeting."

When the consuls heard this, they seemed to have guessed something, and their expressions couldn't help but become serious.

Although Chen Lun was puzzled, he didn't rush to ask, just sat silently in his seat and continued to listen.

"The Imperial Red Plague has intensified once again, and it's time for us to intervene."

The Speaker said softly.

He sighed and waved his hand.

Shadows rise and sway in the center of the round table, forming a map of the empire.

In addition to the tourmaline royal city in the center, the petal-shaped area of the six states is spread with many red spots, and even piled up into a red area, just like the sore spots on the body of a patient with advanced skin disease.

"Despite the initial establishment of the Council of Generosity, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be completed...... But the Sun King has personally given the order, and we have to be fully involved in the war against the Red Plague. There are gains and losses, and since you are in the position of the Orthodox Church, it is not easy to shirk this matter."

The Speaker said, swiping his fingers.

Of the six plates on the map, two plates belonging to the gem state and the rock state are highlighted and enlarged.

"In today's situation, the Red Apple Church has suddenly abandoned many strongholds, highly concentrated its combat power, and the Scarlet Monastery's ten cores have frequently dispatched incarnations to walk everywhere, so that the Imperial Asylum is unable to support itself."

The Speaker said in a deep voice.

"Of the Seven Orthodox Churches, only the Sun Church and the Moon Church actively participated in the suppression, the Star Sect and the Mad Sect remained neutral, and the History and Ritual Society and the Hailing Regiment responded passively...... So there's going to be a lot of pressure on us to be in charge of the two regions, Gem State and Rock State."

Immediately afterwards, the two states were divided into ten parts.

The Speaker's voice continued:

"The ten consuls of the Senate need to be in charge of one of the war zones to completely eliminate the Red Plague!"

"Yes, Sir."

The consuls agreed.

Chen Lun also echoed.

But his heart was a little solemn.

The main story has sped up again...... The main line, which was originally opened months in advance, has now directly crossed more than half a year and entered the final decisive stage. ，

Chen Lun knew that this was because of the butterfly effect caused by his own crossing, which gradually expanded the influence of the world line, which eventually led to the current situation.

For example, in the previous life, there was no "Council of Generosity" at all, and the impact of this extra Orthodox Church on the Red Plague must have been huge...... Maybe the sudden change in the Red Apple Church has something to do with it!

Fortunately, everything that is happening is the same as it is remembered, which means that some vital information is still valuable.

The next meeting began to discuss the distribution of the theater of operations.

The speaker and the other consuls did not discriminate because Chen Lun had just taken office, and the command and resource scheduling power that he should have were not less, and similarly, the difficulty of the assigned war zone would not be weaker than others.

"Jack, Iwabang No. 2 War Zone will be handed over to you, is there a problem?"

The Speaker said with a smile on his face.

Chen Lun glanced at the icon in the center of the round table and shook his head.

"I'm fine, Sir."

The war zone assigned to him contains three main urban areas, a total of seventy-six cities and hundreds of small towns and villages, including a "fortress of abomination" highlighted by the speaker. It's some kind of transcendent spectacle that the Red Apple Church has recently built, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has some unknown mystical means.

"Hmm

In that case, the consuls need to lead their councilors and start acting today...... Here is the specific list, which you will keep for yourself, and you will not be allowed to leak it."

The Speaker nodded, tapping his fingers on the metal armrest.

Immediately, a black roster appeared in front of each of the consuls.

Chen Lun opened it and glanced at it briefly.

There are seven Jindai councillors, 24 silver cup councillors, and 80 ordinary councillors under his command. It was no small force, and it was now under his full command.

At the same time, there are also seventeen [A-class tricks] and dozens of [B-class monsters] sealed within the Generous Council, which can be applied for by convening an extraordinary meeting of the Senate according to the specific situation, or directly reported to the speaker, as long as it can be approved, it can be transferred and borrowed.

"There is no limit to the fact that you can selectively recruit the Alien and the Extraordinary Forces during your operation, but you will have to bear all the expenses yourself...... The council has only one request, and that is to successfully complete the task and clear the war zone in charge."

The Speaker said lightly.

"Yes, Sir."

The consuls answered again.

[Trigger A-rank mission: Scarlet War!] (Note: This quest deeply affects the mainline process in version 1.0!) ）】

Mission Description: As the new Righteous God Church's generous council, at the request of the Sun King Andrei, participate in the war against the Red Plague. And you, as a reserve consul, will inevitably go to the front. (Note: Declining the task will have serious consequences!) Please decide carefully! ）

Mission Requirements: Command the team to clear the "Iwabang II" war zone and completely eliminate the forces belonging to the Red Apple Church.

Rewards: 30 XP, 5 Gold Pounds, 20 Attribute Points, 5 Special Attribute Points, and 10 Regional Popularity. (The contribution of the corresponding main line will be recorded according to the final result)

Chen Lun took a deep breath and took the task.

Looking at the changed mission description on the panel, a progress bar for "Iwabang No. 2 War Zone" appeared, which is currently 0 percent.

'The Great War is on the verge of breaking out......

There was a little heaviness in his heart.

I didn't expect it to be late in the version so soon, and it's only been in open beta for half a year...... The strength of the players has generally not reached the upper limit and does not have a decisive impact on the overall situation. ，

Chen Lun recalled his previous life, at the end of the version, during the Scarlet War stage, most of the players had reached the full level of 30 at the upper limit of the version. Although it is difficult to come out of the transcendent, even if you focus on the entire player group according to the standard of one in a million, relying on a huge base, there are still forty or fifty thousand sequence 9s.

It is unrealistic to rely on them to deal with the mid-level and high-level of the Red Apple Church, but they are the main force against the depraved believers and the low-level transcendent monks.

The situation is different now.

Players are missing more than half a year of development time and can only be forced to act as cannon fodder. Only a few high-end players can slightly affect the progress of the main story.

What Chen Lun wants to do is to recruit players as much as possible, in addition to releasing tasks for the circus's internal high-level games, he will also cast a wide net and gather a large number of players in the name of a generous council.

And then......

Play to their strengths.

An immortal stranger is naturally good at not being afraid of death.

As long as Chen Lun's equipment production speed can keep up, then players don't need to worry about the output, since the level is not enough, then bomb incendiary bottles and a series of equipment props to make up!

Whether it is an extraordinary person or not, Chen Lun doesn't care.

As long as there are enough of them, Chen Lun is sure to conquer the war zone he is responsible for as soon as possible.

Depart from the headquarters of the Council of Generosity.

Chen Lun returned to the winery and informed the team members of the matter as soon as possible, so that they could start preparing for the "vacation" and embark on the hunt again.

The crowd didn't have any opinions, but some were eager to try.

After all, this time the circus is no longer appearing as an extraordinary force in the opposition, but on behalf of the righteous gods

The Church, as a direct cadre of Archon Jack, participates in great events that affect the fate of the Empire!

Subsequently.

Chen Lun opened the panel again and released a task to all the masters.

The number of players belonging to the circus, after such a long period of development, has reached more than two hundred, all of whom are transcendental, and the level is generally around level 25, all of them are elites from various guilds.

Even if it is a casual player, it is a high-level game like Polaris and Su Keying.

None of them.

Dongyang Chenxi and others, who were in the middle of the fairyland, suddenly received a task prompt.

They were stunned for a moment, and then they all showed shocked expressions.

"A-Class Mission?!"

"Did you get a hint too?"

"Rogered!"

The dog-headed gold on the side had an exaggerated expression and said loudly:

"Good fellow! How did Boss Jack of our circus become the top of the Orthodox Church?! What kind of 'bloody battle' are you going to take us to now?"

The rest of the high-level players were also surprised.

Although they knew that a new Orthodox Church had recently been launched, called the Council of Generosity, they did not expect that the leader of their own forces would be one of the ten consuls of this Orthodox Church!

Moreover, the sudden high-level mission also indicates a drastic change in the main line.

Polaris frowned, and he said in a deep voice:

"I don't know if you've noticed the description in this A-class mission...... It involves key processes in the main story, so it is likely to be a decisive battle. It's only been half a year since the open beta started, and it's only been a few months since the main story opened, so it stands to reason that it's impossible to do it so soon."

The high-level leaders of the two great guilds, Dongyang and Chenxi, were the first to understand.

Their expressions were also solemn.

"So something is wrong, our main story feels like it has been emasculated out of thin air, and it has jumped a lot......

Dongyang analyzed.

He thought for a moment and continued:

"Is it possible that we leveled up faster than most players and reached some kind of hidden threshold, which is why this quest was triggered......

"You can't hold your name."

Chenxi on the side shook his head.

She posted a few screenshots of her chat to the team channel.

"All circus players have received this task, which means that it is purely because the supernatural forces we are in are too high-end...... In other words, it was Mr. Jack who caused the incident."

"Yes, Sister Chenxi is right."

Bald said hurriedly.

"I just looked through the game forums, and I haven't found any other players receiving similar quests yet, so we should be the first ones!"

The rest of the players couldn't help but take a deep breath.

They can't remember how many times this is, the circus is a force that is always surprising, with many advantages and benefits that the official powers do not have.

Right now, it's the best proof of that!

"I've taken over the mission, have a good rest tonight, keep the characters in the best condition, go to the lake hut on time tomorrow to gather, and then follow the mission guide to participate in this battle!"

Dongyang greeted everyone.

The rest nodded their heads.

After Chen Lun finished issuing the task, he used the token to summon the messenger of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce and handed it a letter of entrustment.

This is in the name of the generous council "Archon Jakespet", he entrusted the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce to send an invitation to all the immortal strangers in the entire Iwabang.

In fact, it is a means to cast a wide net.

The cost of recruiting players is low or even non-existent.

Chen Lun relies on the popularity and fame accumulated in the past, as well as the name of the "Orthodox Church" he has at this stage, and using such a big event task as bait can completely attract a large number of players to come.

"When the time comes, the battle led by me will surely be exciting......

Chen Lun smiled slightly.

And as the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce tried its best to issue recruitment notices in various parts of Yanbang according to his commission, it caused a sensation in the player circle!
