Chapter 385: Rest and Visit
Chen Lun's "Yanbang No. 2" theater of operations.
Of the three main city areas, two have been breached, and the last one is Firehead City, along with the nineteen cities it belongs to, which is being conquered by Floy.
Of these 19 cities, eight have been red-affected. As the defender, the Red Apple Church cannot concentrate its forces in one point, they need to rely on the captured cities they occupy and fight a war of attrition with the attackers.
Use the local converted "fallen believers" to delay Floy and others as much as possible. Otherwise, it would be difficult to compete with the transcendent priests and a few high-level combat forces alone.
However, the only "Abomination Fortress" in the war zone has been destroyed, and with the men and horses in the fight, Floy's side has a clear advantage.
Even if Chen Lun was not present, Floy also relied on the [Secluded Oath] and [Back Sun Bonsai] two [A-level tricks] to raise her strength to the fifth level of the top sequence, and it was not a problem at all to sit in the overall situation.
With the continuous addition of players, the total number of "undead strangers" has exceeded 100,000.
Armed with a Connie II flintlock rifle, these mortal warriors were invincible, and the fallen believers, low-ranking clerics, and hostile players were no match for them.
Floy's team was overwhelmed.
She adheres to the strategy used by Master Jack before, dividing her forces into three ways and clearing the area of Firehead City at the same time. The speed of the advance was very fast, and it only took a week to completely break through the last of the main city......
During this week, Chen Lun did not return to take over the battle, but gave full authority to Floy.
He used this time to recuperate for a while, and then went to several other war zones, personally visiting the consuls of his own camp, such as Mulenga, Peggy, and Ginsburg, and briefly revealed to them how he and the Speaker had ambushed and killed Rafah.
The reason for explaining the situation is very simple, one is to explain why he would trespass into the war zone in charge of Mulenga and Houston without saying hello, and the other is to let "his own people" understand in advance that the next is the perfect opportunity to attack the "base fortress" in the area of Gem State!
The most important "Crimson Ceremony" ritual of the Red Apple Church is precisely these three "base fortresses", and if you can take the lead in destroying them, it will definitely be a great achievement!
Of course, Chen Lun prefers to let "his own people" take this credit.
After confirming the news, the five consuls also accepted his favor, and the relationship between the two sides was one step closer.

After completing the task of clearing his own war zone.
Chen Lun led the exhausted circus crowd back to the Peacock City Winery to rest, while his councillors such as Frey and Akbin returned to the headquarters of the Generous Council to resume their lives.
After this period of fierce fighting, Chen Lun was pleased to find that Floy had successfully completed the promotion ceremony on the battlefield and became a [Sequence 6 - Night Watchman]!
Also completed the promotion, and the three Golovs.
Their mysterious accumulation was long enough, and after gaining extraordinary knowledge from Chen Lun on New Year's Eve, they had read it several times, and finally, in this bloody battle, they were promoted to [Sequence 7 - Assassin] one after another!
So far, with the exception of Connie, Alex and Antonio, the circus cadres have all reached the middle sequence level, and the overall strength has been improved.
The atmosphere within the team was cheerful and lively, except for Noah and Maggie, who were a little sullen.
"Don't worry, you're almost done with mysteries...... The bloody battle will continue for some time, and you can take advantage of this opportunity to complete the promotion ceremony on the battlefield, just like Floy and Golov."
Chen Lun comforted.
"Yes, Mr. Jack, I'll try."
Noah flexed his glasses and smiled as if he had regained his confidence.
And Maggie, who was sitting on the sofa eating beef jerky, sighed.
"However, according to Mr. Akbin, the ritual of the [Pox Man] is not just for twenty-seven at the same time
The goal is to bury extraordinary diseases, and you must also make your own body full of disease factors...... I've had enough mysteries, but my research has hit a plateau, and the extraordinary diseases I've created have never met the requirements of the ritual."
"You can talk to Akbin when you have time, as someone who has come over, he should be able to give you some guidance and inspiration."
Chen Lun took the tea brought by Floy, thanked him, and spoke.
Floy smiled, placed the tray containing the teacups on the coffee table, and sat quietly beside him, her purple eyes sweeping over the crowd, motioning for everyone to take it themselves.
"Thank you, Miss Floy."
The rest of the cadres immediately cast respectful and friendly glances at her, and bowed their heads slightly.
This battle made them love Miss Floy even more. Enjoying the food she cooked by herself, and witnessing her strength far beyond everyone on the battlefield, Miss Floy is now back to light, and everyone is happy for her.
"Mr. Akbin said he couldn't help me with this...... Unless I want to follow his old path, only the extraordinary diseases I have researched can make the system unique in its own way."
Maggie rubbed her fluffy hair in anguish.
Chen Lun glanced at her and shook his head secretly.
There was nothing he could do to help with this, only Maggie herself, but as the leader of the team, he decided to encourage:
"I'm sure you can, Maggie, and while the Cult of Nature labels you a heretic, I consider you a unique genius in this regard...... Even Akbin has often complimented me on your talent."
"Huh? It turns out that the head of the regiment and the teacher think I am a genius? Hey, hey!"
Maggie was stunned at first, then burst out laughing, dancing without figuratively.
She seemed to be energetic again, and after eating several pieces of dried meat, she suddenly got up and ran upstairs, leaving everyone confused.
"I've got a good idea! You don't have to call me for dinner!"
Maggie's voice came from the stairs, and her tone was excited.
Everyone looked at each other, and then smiled.
After dinner.
Chen Lun and Floy take a walk in the back garden.
"It's been a hard time for you, Floy."
He whispered.
Floy shook her head slowly.
"As long as I can share your worries, it's nothing."
As she spoke, she paused and pulled out a bullet with a blue lens.
"This is the ammunition you made for the 'Chalcene Stone' you gave me last time, and I took the time to complete it two days ago...... But because there were too few samples of the material, after the final wear and tear, only this finished product remained."
"Thank you."
Chen Lun took the blue crystal bullet, took her hand and kissed it on her fingertips.
Floy's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked good in the moonlight.
Through the description of the panel, Chen Lun learned that this bullet contained magical powers, and it belonged to the same category of transcendent things as the black crystal bullet...... However, unlike the Sombra Bullet, which has the effect of killing flesh activity, the Crystal Bullet will explode violently with the collider after being fired.
Chen Lun summoned the reactivated "Fraud Incarnate", and then flicked his fingers and shot at it.
Boom!
A gunshot rang out between his fingers, and a blue streamer struck straight at the avatar.
The avatar lowers the brim of his hat and manipulates the storm of cards as a barrier in front of him.
Rumble!
The violent explosion swept away the high-speed spinning cards for a moment, and then the overflowing light blue energy wave was wrapped and closed by countless cards, saving the flowers and plants around them from being in trouble.
"It's quite powerful, it's the equivalent of a weakened version of a grenade...... But this is not fatal for a mid-series transcendent unless he is held in place and subjected to a dense stream of blue crystal bullets."
Chen Lun received the feeling from the incarnation, and analyzed it silently in his heart.
"And although this kind of chalkite is also taken from the fairyland, it does not have a stable output like Longli stone...... If you take it to forge ammunition
, the cost performance is too low, maybe there is a better way to use it, and then slowly study it."
"Are you not satisfied with the results?"
Floy asked in a whisper.
Chen Lun nodded lightly and sighed:
"There are relatively few ways to obtain azorite, so it is much more precious than Longli stone, if only this power ......
He shook his head and said no more.
"Am I not doing well enough to make it work?"
Floy's purple eyes stared at Chen Lun, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
Chen Lun chuckled lightly and said soothingly:
"It's not you, Floy, you've done a great job, it's just that I'm probably too narrow-minded...... Chalkite may not be suitable for being simply made into bullets like Longli Stone, and it should have a better use."
"Well, whatever you need, you can always ask me to try."
Floy nodded obediently.
She immediately took Chen Lun's hand and walked to the swing under the tree and sat down.
"I'd like to see the moon with you, okay?"
Floy asked softly.
Chen Lun had no reason to refuse, he smiled and sat quietly on the swing with her, looking up at the night sky together.
I thought to myself, maybe Floy will be gazing at the moon these nights like she is now, after regaining her vision.
Unlike the moon in the previous life, the purple moon in this world is even larger, even larger than the sun during the day...... The faint purple glow is full of mystery and magnificent beauty.
In this way, Floy's breath became long, and she fell into a deep sleep in his arms.
It stands to reason that she usually has the most energy at night, and only during the day will she rest to avoid the sun...... And Floy herself doesn't know why, every time she snuggles in Lord Jack's arms, she feels extremely reassured, warm and comfortable.
It seems that no matter what time of day, as long as you rely on him, you can easily fall asleep.
"I'm tired of this time......
Chen Lun looked down at the girl, gently pulled the placket of the windbreaker, and covered her shoulders.
Subsequently, the game forum was silently opened.
He wanted to use the forum to get a general idea of how the players are doing.
The first time he clicked in, he noticed that the top of the popularity list was a video.
The title is "Inventory of the Top Ten Famous Scenes of the Scarlet Battle!" NO.1 Jack's Nun! The cover is a picture of Floy taken by an unknown player in Fire City, and she was facing away from the picture at the time, turning her head slightly, with a calm expression on her delicate side face.
With a big black scythe in her hand and her long pale blonde hair blown up by the wind, the huge wolf squatting beside her raised her head and screamed.
The timing is just right, giving an atmosphere of extreme beauty and mysterious power.
"Huh?"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
He glanced at the maker's ID again, and it was surprisingly not Su Keying, but the ordinary operator of the "Appraisal Boss".
"Oh, that's kind of interesting."
Chen Lun then clicked on the video, wanting to see what fun things this guy had come up with, and the popularity was so high.
The beginning of the video is the first perspective of the producer, who is one of the 100,000 players that Jack has recruited, and is nervously preparing for the battle...... That is, the process of signing up for the army, participating in the assessment, and purchasing equipment.
The narrator is the voice of a young man:
"As an important plot of the current 1.0 version of "Crimson Rite", the Scarlet Campaign is very crucial to the promotion of the main story...... As far as I know, in the entire territory of the Trasur Empire, Jaxpet's team, which is the "Red Plague Expeditionary Army" to which I belong, was the first to complete the mission! First pass! I don't need to say more, do I? Brothers, play the cards on the public screen!"
The first view of an ordinary operator is buying a [Connie II] flint with the "Temporary Quartermaster" of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce
Rifles, it seems that they are also bargaining for two boxes of Sombra bullets.
At this point, a row of "cards!" crossed the screen and "Jack Cowpie!" and other barrages.
"And in such an important battle plot, of course, there are indispensable famous scenes that we are shocked and admired, I am not a professional video producer, but in the end I couldn't help but make this inventory video, hoping that the brothers who participated in the battle can reminisce...... It can also make friends who were not able to participate in the battle feel a little involved."
The video then shows a series of player IDs with the caption "Special Thanks to you! Material Provider......".
"Of course, there are other brothers in the war zone who have also submitted articles to me, and after some selection, based on personal preferences and analysis, I have listed the top 10 famous scenes...... If there is any controversy, then I sincerely apologize to you and say that I am the main one, what can you do with me?"
The ordinary operator smiled disdainfully, and then said:
"So, let's start our video content now!"
Rumble!
The screen went black, and then lit up again.
"NO.10, Jack's 'action' made my blood boil!"
This time he jumped directly onto the battlefield, and Chen Lun recognized that this was the point in time when he first mobilized in Scales City. However, the perspective is on the player's side, which makes him feel novel.
I saw that under the heavy snow, the first perspective was surrounded by players who were under pressure.
With the sound of ordinary operators and the white mist exhaled, people watching the video can feel how cold it was at that time.
Not far ahead, a tall figure stood in the air.
He was dressed in a retro knight's armor and a gold-patterned gray robe, and the corners of his clothes hunted in the ice and snow.
In the sunlight, that handsome face looked holy.
"When encountering all the personnel of the Red Apple Church, there is no need to say a word, kill them directly...... If you encounter the battle power above the sequence in the Red Apple Church, don't panic, each group of Silver Cup Councilors will respond in time. Even if they are temporarily held back, I and the three Gold Cup Councillors will solve it!"
Chen Lun "looked up" at himself through the screen of the video, and secretly smashed his mouth.
"Indeed handsome......
Then, Master Jack in the video raises his right arm and waves it violently.
"Action!"
The players shouted one after another, and there was a huge roar.
"Yes! Master Jack!"
With the bloody BGM of the video playback, the barrage has crossed "Yes! Master Jack!" This sentence, as if every viewer, is infected.
Thundered!
Countless players followed Jack's flight and rushed forward.
It seems that everyone is a dreadnought charging on the battlefield!
