The carriage drove slowly along the simple stone streets, and the yellow sand fluttered in all directions, and the wheels of the carriage made a rustling sound.

The wind and sand hit the outer wall of the carriage, and the sound of ping-pong can be clearly heard inside. Chen Lun sat inside, and even though there was a soft leather sofa cushion under his buttocks, he could still feel the bumps. Polaris sat across from him, a glass of chilled orange juice in his hand.

"I need you to perform well enough on this mission to be able to do it?"

Chen Lun raised his hand and asked Barton to close the curtains of the car, and then said to Polaris.

"Teacher, you mean for me to kill enough hostile undead strangers?"

Polaris asked, with a thoughtful expression.

Chen Lun chuckled, but shook his head.

"It's not enough to kill, it's better to capture...... Only by putting them in the prison of immortality can the United Kingdom of Anlong be effectively restrained from counterattacking on the battlefield. ”

He lifted his cup, took a sip of iced milk, and held out an index finger.

"In addition to you, I'll be releasing this quest to the rest of the circus' Warriors...... Your merits must be the first among them. ”

Polaris suddenly felt a tremendous amount of pressure.

There are thousands of players in the circus, and all of them are high-level players in the first tier, and even though he is far ahead of the ranks, there are too many uncertainties in the task...... Polaris isn't entirely sure.

But he was unwilling to give up easily, and at the same time he was worried that his cowardice would reduce the teacher's favor, so he stubbornly said:

"No problem, teacher, I'll do my best!"

"Looking forward to your performance, Polaris."

Chen Lun smiled slightly, secretly manipulated the panel, and sent the other party an "extra task". Polaris couldn't help but be stunned, as he found that his "Side Mission: Frontier Raid" had an extra link, requiring him to kill or capture the most hostile players in the previous one.

As for the rewards......

Polaris' eyes widened.

"[Sequence of Destiny VII - Magician] Transcendent Knowledge?!"

He instantly realized that it was because of his close relationship with Jack that he triggered this high-level hidden mission!

Polaris suppressed his excitement and clenched his fists.

"As long as I can complete this hidden mission, then I can become the first mid-sequence transcendent player in the current version, a big cut ahead of the others!"

He thought to himself.

At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped, and Golov's voice came from outside the curtain:

"Mr. Jack, Bryce Military District has arrived."

"Good."

Chen Lun nodded and responded.

He turned to Polaris again and commanded:

"Go ahead, it's only a few days before the start of the war, try to do what I say ...... before then"

"Okay, teacher!"

Polaris took one last look at the panel, closed it, took a deep breath, got up from his chair and saluted, and quickly turned and got out of the carriage.

After he left.

Chen Lun sat on the soft sofa and thought for a moment, and finally said to Floy:

"I want to leave this matter to you to lead, unite the strangers of the circus and the transcendents of the Bloody Hand, and hunt down and capture as many hostile strangers as possible who have infiltrated the borders of the Empire."

Floy hummed, with a quiet smile on her face, brushed her hair and got up from her chair, chucking her head slightly.

Chen Lun said to Morey on the side:

"You're also going along, and you're mainly responsible for helping Polaris in the dark......"

Morey was a little surprised, but didn't ask much, just bowed his head respectfully and agreed.

"Yes, Mr. Jack."

After Chen Lun had given these orders, Morey left with Floy, while he himself leaned back on the couch.

If you can't get the job done, then you can't blame me...... I also want to train you to be an even more dazzling spokesperson, Polaris. ’

He thought to himself with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Bryce Military District.

Originally, it was the location of the Imperial Frontier garrison, and after the Western War was confirmed, it was used as a temporary military camp to receive troops from all over the territory.

The clergy of the Seven Orthodox Churches will also stay here for a short time to participate in some high-level meetings before the war and jointly plan strategic deployments.

Chen Lun asked Golov to show the relevant identification card, passed the three-layer inspection and review, and then entered the military region.

Horse-drawn carriages drove along the wide road, but the carriages behind them were open pallets with crates of weapons and equipment. Some soldiers in dark green uniforms, armed with flintlock rifles, walked by, and stopped to salute when they saw Chen Lun and his party.

On the playground not far away, there were loud shouts, accompanied by some sporadic gunshots, and Chen Lun knew that it was the troops who were exercising and training.

"Mr. Jack, is there a large number of transcendents in the United Kingdom of Anlong?"

Golov asked in a sudden whisper.

Chen Lun walked forward without squinting, and only replied lightly after hearing the inquiry:

"Not much...... Compared to the empire, it is far behind, and even the three major dependent kingdoms are far behind. ”

"Then if we allow the transcendents to participate in the battlefield in large numbers, can we resolve the war as soon as possible?"

Golov continued.

"Too idealistic, Golov."

Chen Lun shook his head.

"In the mysterious realm, low-level transcendents occupy the vast majority, and on the battlefield, their survival rate is actually no different from that of ordinary people...... Even a mid-level transcendent is facing weapons of mass destruction, which is also life-threatening, and it is difficult to influence the situation of a battle with millions of people like this if the number is small. ”

He stopped and looked back at his men.

"Only those in high positions can play a key role, but obviously the empire will not send too many sages......"

"Why?"

Golov looked puzzled.

"Doesn't Prince Dazlet want to win this battle as soon as possible?"

"It's just internal and external troubles."

Chen Lun straightened his hat and continued to walk forward, and said softly without looking back:

"The location of the United Kingdom of Anlong happens to be stuck between the Empire and the Kingdom of Beelzebub, and they have actually been infiltrated by the Rose Royal Family for a long time...... The Empire dispatches too many Sages, which will cause conflicts of higher intensity, and there is no harmony between the Church of the Seven Gods, once the high-level combat power of the Sun Church and the Empire's official is seriously damaged, then it will cause even more terrible things. ”

Everyone immediately realized what the "more terrible thing" was in the mouth of the regiment commander.

That is the rule of the Trisur Empire, which may be unstable, which is something that the Sun Royal Family absolutely cannot tolerate...... Therefore, the high-level combat power of the empire will definitely not be used easily.

"The high-level combat power is not out, and the number of mid- and low-level transcendents is not enough to influence the battle situation...... So what is the purpose of our visit? ”

Barton wondered.

"Just in case."

Chen Lun said succinctly.

"In order to prevent the enemy from carrying out decapitation operations, or using some special sequence abilities, infiltrate and manipulate the leaders of our troops...... When it comes to fighting, the vast majority of transcendents are actually not good at it, and they specialize in art, and those military leaders are much better than us in this regard. ”

He sighed.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

By this time, the group had come to a three-story building with a gray-black façade, where several troops armed to the teeth were tightly guarded in the open and covert, and even the cannons and large-caliber repeating muskets were fixed to the cement base around it.

This is where the pre-war conference room was located.

"Let's go, let's go inside."

Chen Lun spoke, and then led everyone to strode to the gate.

*

Ten kilometers west of the city of Wasteland Vultures, in the desert beyond the borders of the Empire, a group of people were hurrying on horseback.

"Captain, I heard that the number of border guards has increased again, and several entrances are strictly guarded, we have suffered a late loss, and it is too difficult to enter now...... A lot of people in the guild have gone crazy in Vulture City, it's really enviable......"

A masked man on horseback spoke.

The man in the lead also covered his mouth and nose with a special cloth and wore a pair of windproof glasses. After hearing the complaints of his teammates, he shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"There's no way, although our 'Miracle' guild is also a first-class guild, but due to the fact that the Anlong United Kingdom is too closed and backward, many resources can't be communicated...... The guild's arrangement naturally makes sense, as long as you can get benefits, don't worry too much. ”

The captain pointed ahead, but his vision was a blur of wind and sand.

"There are still about ten kilometers to the border checkpoint of the Trisur Empire, but don't worry, there are our people there, and you can easily blend in...... Don't forget our mission, this time it's to attack the settlements, go to the local 'Bloody Hand' industry and destroy it at will, check the ammunition, bombs and fuel, don't drop the chain when the time comes. ”

"Got it, Captain!"

More than two dozen people hurriedly shouted.

Their expressions hidden under their face toils were tinged with anticipation and excitement, as if they couldn't wait to start wreaking havoc...... This kind of quest has become something that everyone in the guild wants to participate in, and there are even special strategies that tell members in detail how to cause maximum chaos while delaying the pursuit of local guards.

This is a series of missions, thanks to the leader of the "Miracle" guild, who has a very high opinion with a certain high-ranking in the United Kingdom of Anlong, so he has received a large-scale mission to attack the border.

Forget the rewards, but also satisfy the desire of players like them, to burn and loot while the "enemy country" wantonly burns and loots, but also can do some things that they want to do in reality but dare not do.

"War in the West...... The guild said that it was difficult to fight, and it was even likely to lose. ”

Someone started talking about another topic.

The captain listened and nodded in agreement.

"That's true, but who would have thought that the United Kingdom of Anlong would go to war with the Trisul Empire...... Fortunately, the guild has found a way out, and now it just needs to take advantage of the main story in the early stage of version 2.0, and where to go in the future. ”

As he spoke, he solemnly instructed his teammates:

"In addition, don't be long-winded, I'll say it again, it doesn't matter if you die this time, but don't be like the guys who are 'oily legs', and go directly to the immortal prison of the Trasur Empire......"

"Poof!"

The teammates couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm sorry Captain, it's so funny...... Now that their accounts are invalid, they have been crying in the guild group and calling their mothers, and everyone knows that they provoked Jack when they were doing tasks...... I don't have any eyesight, that's a well-known imperial NPC, dare to dangle in front of him, who will you catch if you don't catch them? ”

"Hahaha......"

The group rode horses, laughed and laughed at the front of a continuous high city wall, not far away was a wide road that led to a gate.

It was flanked by several sentry posts, and heavily armed with firearms.

Through the metal fence, the group saw sporadic caravans being inspected...... Because of the tension of wartime, there are very few people doing business across borders, and they have to go through very strict audits.

The group of players on horseback was quickly targeted by two teams of Imperial guards, and a civilian-looking soldier approached with a booklet and pen in his hand, motioning for them to dismount and be examined.

"No problem, sir."

The captain chuckled and calmly turned over and dismounted.

The team members behind them did the same, and in an instant, the horses were taken away by the border guards, and their group was also asked to line up and walk to an open field, passing through the window of the guard box in order.

Taking advantage of the gap between the approaching civilian officers, the captain player quietly whispered:

"From early morning till dusk, blood and wine reflect the fall of the sun......"

The words he uttered were inexplicable, but they were from a famous poem in the United Kingdom of Anlong, "The Rose and the Goldfinch", and it was also a code.

Unexpectedly, the civilian officer's face changed slightly, and his eyes immediately froze.

The player captain visibly noticed that the other man took a deep breath and then led the way ahead as if he were not listening, without giving him any response.

Just when the player was in doubt, he realized that he had followed the other party to the first sentry post, and he was stunned when he glanced up at the window.

I saw that in addition to the two censors sitting inside, there were more than a dozen people standing behind them...... The temperament of these people is obviously different, and there are still excited or mocking smiles on their faces, and the young people at the head have meaningful eyes.

Who are they?

The captain of the Miracle Guild suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he threw out the probe tentatively, and the next second, his hair stood on end.

North...... Polaris?!

The casual player who is the number one on the leaderboard?!

How did you meet him here...... Wrong! They are here to ambush us!

Scald!

A feeling of extreme panic arose.

Immediately afterward, he heard Polaris standing in the sentry post and whispering:

"These guys are all undead strangers from enemy countries."

The more than twenty players of the Miracle Guild were stunned for a moment, and before they could react to what was happening, they saw dozens or hundreds of soldiers surrounded them with flintlock rifles.

Heavy firearms also turned their guns in an instant, aiming at them.

In addition, more than a dozen high-ranking players from Polaris, plus a few black-robed clergy from the Moon Church, stood aside and looked at them coldly.

Finished!

All the players of the Miracle Guild had such an idea.

"Kill yourself!!"

The captain immediately made a decision and roared angrily.

While he reminded his teammates, he had already taken out the bomb and was about to detonate it.

But he soon saw in despair that a dark and cold light was shining from the sky, and his soul was "numb", and his body was paralyzed to the ground uncontrollably, as did more than 20 players on his side.

When his consciousness was gradually blurred, he only heard the clergy of the Moon Church say indifferently:

"Put them all in the border immortal prison ......"

“？！”

The captain of the Miracle Guild was shocked.

All the team members had an idea born -

Finished......

It's completely over......

We're out of the picture!

How the hell is this?!

That's not how the script works!!

Finally, the voice of the man was faintly heard:

"Thank you for your help, circus strangers...... Thank you on my behalf, your commander, Mr. Jakespet, if it weren't for you, these damn guys would have been wreaking havoc in Vulture City......"

Jack......

How...... How is he?!

I was laughing at others before, but now it's my turn. An absurd and angry mood grew in their hearts.
