Looking at Polaris' stunned appearance, Dongyang and the others were a little puzzled.

"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 the teammates saw the screenshot, they all showed strange expressions.

"Promotion mission? And this thing? ”

The Dragon King was a little puzzled.

Chenxi explained on the side:

"The members of our guild have inquired about the relevant information, and it seems that in the middle of the order, in addition to the two hard indicators of rank and knowledge, the promotion of transcendents also requires corresponding rituals...... For us players, it's all about doing the mission. ”

"It's really troublesome......"

The dragon king scratched his head grumblingly.

"That's good! There is a threshold to highlight the difference of the transcendents in the middle sequence, and you don't want to be able to easily catch up with those players behind our ass as time goes by, and the iteration of the version, right? ”

Kotou Jin commented.

"That's what I said......"

The Dragon King shrugged.

After Dongyang and the others discussed for a while, they said in a timely voice:

"Okay, what we have to do now is to help Polaris complete this promotion task......"

"That's a good point."

Chenxi nodded in agreement.

Judging from the screenshots, Polaris' promotion mission is called "Turning the Tide", which roughly means that the fate of the transcendent in the middle sequence is a turning point, and it also means the turning point of fate, which requires the promoter to complete the reversal in an important "battle performance", which is as unexpected as magic.

The mission condition is to defeat or kill an opponent in a one-on-one situation with less than 10% health, and the opponent must not be lower than the player's level.

"It's a pity, the mission target can't be a player, otherwise we can send someone to help Brother Beizi complete the promotion ......"

The Dragon King sighed.

"How can there be so many loopholes for you to drill, it's so beautiful......"

Su Keying glanced at him and continued:

"But this task doesn't seem to be difficult, the two countries are about to go to war, and there are more opportunities on the battlefield to find the hostile transcendents of Sequence Eight, when the time comes, let's use some transcendent things that deduct health in advance, so that Polaris is stuck at ten percent of health, and then help him create a heads-up environment, so it's much easier."

"That's a good idea."

Dongyang nodded.

The crowd looked at Polaris and asked for his opinion.

"What do you think?"

"Yes."

Polaris thought for a moment, looked up at them, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Thank you."

"What's polite, Brother Beizi!"

Su Keying learned the tone of the Dragon King, and patted him on the shoulder.

Polaris shook his head helplessly.

Bryce Military District gates.

The group walked out slowly, led by a young gentleman in a black hat dress and a silver cane.

"Commander, is the time decided?"

Golov lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.

Chen Lun didn't squint and hummed softly.

"In the past few days, I have held meetings repeatedly, each time for seven or eight hours without interruption, and if I am an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will be tired and paralyzed a long time ago...... The Church of the Seven Gods and the Imperial officials are really not of the same mind, and they are noisy and clamoring, and they are not willing to exert too much effort. ”

He shook his head and sighed.

"But it's finally coming out...... Tomorrow we will assemble and set off early the day after tomorrow, and our area of responsibility will be southwest, and the target will be the Hercule bridgehead, which can lead directly to the hinterland of the Principality of Asiaco, separated by a wide Benavides River, as long as we can break through that bridgehead, it will be equivalent to opening a way for the Imperial Army to directly attack the Principality of Asia. ”

"With such an important military fortress, Anlong's side should deploy a large number of troops, right?"

Goldcup Councillor Frey thought for a moment and said.

"Inevitably."

Chen Lun nodded.

At this time, everyone had already come to the side of the carriage, he made a gesture, signaling to get on the carriage and talk again, so the group respectfully let Chen Lun board the carriage first, and then went up one after another.

Once everyone was seated, a silver-cup councillor drove the carriage, and Golov took part in the discussion.

"Continuing with what we just said."

Chen Lun asked Barton to pour himself a glass of cold milk, and said as he drank it.

"Although the Hercule bridgehead will be heavily guarded, the strength of the Imperial army can completely reverse the terrain disadvantage, and we don't have to worry too much about this...... The transcendent who sits inside the bridgehead is our goal. ”

He looked at his subordinates and added:

"That's what we do when we go with the army...... While guarding against the opponent's various transcendent methods, it is best to strangle all the enemy's transcendentals. ”

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Chen Lun's eyes lowered, thinking of some vague impressions of his previous life.

There were many battles in different areas of the Western War, but the most famous of them was the Battle of the Hercule Bridgehead...... For no other reason, this is one of the few places where the Imperial Army is deflated.

When he was assigned to this area, Chen Lun was still a little surprised.

However, he quickly used his prophetic advantage and the full-level [Multi-Purpose] to plan for the next action and come up with a lot of countermeasures.

'In the previous life, the imperial army suffered a great loss here, not only did not capture the bridgehead, but also lost tens of thousands of troops...... At that time, the discussion on the forum was quite hot, and it seemed that the Anlong side had already placed a lot of explosives under the bridgehead and the entire bridge, and finally blew up the Imperial Army and the bridgehead into flying ashes. ’

Chen Lun's eyes flowed quietly, looking profound.

Everyone in the carriage looked at the thinking appearance of the regiment leader, and they didn't dare to disturb it.

"Hmmm......"

Chen Lun groaned.

Immediately afterward, he asked Barton 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 rang it.

Bite!

After a while, the faceless attendant escaped from the spirit realm and appeared in front of Chen Lun.

"Good day, Lord Jack, what can I do for you?"

The messenger bowed.

Chen Lun put the envelope and two gold pounds of tips on its tray and instructed:

"Send the letter back to HQ and show it to Speaker Azgirro, I would like to request access to a [Class A-class artifact] from the council......"

"No problem, Master Jack, leave it to me."

The faceless waiter whispered in agreement, holding the tray and bowing his head to leave.

After it left, Chen Lun looked back at everyone.

"I've figured out a little bit of the future, the Imperial army is likely to suffer at the Hercule bridgehead, and there are many ...... of influencing factors."

The subordinates showed surprise one after another.

They did not question the accuracy of the commander's divination, but Akbin asked:

"Mr. Jack, do you want to inform the military and take precautions early?"

"There's no need."

Chen Lun shook his head.

"First, the military doesn't trust the Church of the Seven Gods very much, and second, relying only on divination rhetoric can't influence the military's decision-making at all."

There is one more important reason he did not say, and that is that he is worried that the news will leak and cause things to change...... At that time, their countermeasures may not be effective.

Chen Lun is not sure that there are no internal ghosts in the military, and many players have joined the military, if this group of undead strangers knows some news, it will spread soon, and the NPCs in this world still lack understanding of players after all.

"I have a plan and need your help."

Chen Lun opened his mouth and said.

"Command as much as you want, Mr. Jack."

The parliamentarians, led by Frey Arkbin, and the circus cadres bowed their heads in response.

Chen Lun nodded and slowly said his arrangement.

A moment later.

Everyone looked thoughtful.

"We see, Mr. Jack."

Three days later.

In a canyon in the middle of the desert, tens of thousands of Imperial troops were marching in an orderly manner, followed by a number of wagons with weapons in tow.

Chen Lun and his cadres marched with the army, and they all sat in the carriage painted with the emblem of the Council of Generosity. Players walk with a large army and end last.

The only people who followed Chen Lun to participate in this mission were the elite players of the circus, and the number was around two thousand.

Not long after, a herald informed Golov, who was driving the carriage, that the Supreme Commander, General Vance, had ordered the troops to rest at the mouth of the gorge before setting off.

"Got it."

Golov nodded calmly and quickly relayed the message to the carriage. With Mr. Jack's permission, he followed the troops to a halt in the shade on one side.

Chen Lun got out of the carriage, and Floy and the others followed.

He took off his hat and took a brief scan of the environment.

The yellow-brown rocks are in full view, and some of the dried plants are rolled into balls, which are carried by the wind and sand and dance on the ground...... Farther away, the canyon's walls are uneven, even in the sun's rays, showing a golden glow.

Resilient cacti stand tall on the mountain walls and on the ground around them, and creatures such as scorpions and lizards flash in sight.

"Where?"

Chen Lun asked softly.

"Not far from the Benavides River, through this gorge you can reach the Kerr plain......"

Golov replied.

Chen Lun nodded, indicating that he understood.

He glanced around at the makeshift barracks tents, where some Imperial soldiers were eating canned food at improvised tables or checking flintlock pistols and sabers.

There are also some soldiers, carrying some sealed wooden boxes.

Chen Lun knew what it was.

Inflatable kayaks.

At the time of the meeting, regarding the strategic deployment of the south-west region, one of which was about how to capture the Hercule bridgehead, General Vance proposed that there was a short corner in a straight line at a point in the Benavides River, thirty kilometers away from the bridgehead, and perhaps some troops could be considered smuggling some troops from there, making a detour in advance, and trying to attack from behind the bridgehead.

But Chen Lun also knows that this basically does not work.

The importance of the Hercule bridgehead was well known to the United Kingdom of Anlon than the Trisur Empire, and the other side even used the transcendents of their galaxy to set up a rather meticulous protective warning along the Benavides River.

The Imperial Army will be spotted even the moment it enters the Kerr Plains.

But Chen Lun did not admonish, after all, these strategic plans and decisions are the responsibility of the military...... To put it in layman's terms, it has nothing to do with him.

Chen Lun quietly observed the environment, and suddenly felt a slight warning from his spiritual intuition, he groaned slightly, and then bent down and grabbed a handful of clay on the ground, and found that it was a little crimson like blood.

After looking at it for a moment, Chen Lun whistled again.

Shout!

Not far away, under a thick cactus, a palm-sized lizard crawled over and jumped straight to Chen Lun's palm.

Chen Lun used [Beast Language] to communicate with him briefly and asked about some information.

Half a day.

He bent down to let the lizard go.

'Most likely there is an ambush ......'

Chen Lun thought to himself and sighed secretly.

'This kind of thing still needs to be reminded, after all, it involves the extraordinary power of the other party......

He ordered his men to stand by and strode to a large tent in the center of the army. When the guard at the gate saw him, he immediately saluted.

Chen Lun nodded, lifted the curtain and went in.

Inside the tent, a stout bearded man was sitting on a folding chair, wearing a general's uniform, flanked by some high-ranking military officials, and across from them, several middle-aged men and women, dressed in the clergy of the Moon Church and the Hailing Regiment.

"Huh? Archon Jack, you're here. ”

General Vance glanced at the doorway, indifferently took a sip of his coffee cup.

"You're also here to remind me that there is an ambush on Anlong's side in the canyon?"

Chen Lun was a little surprised, and immediately looked at the few people from the Moon Church and the Hailing Regiment, and speculated that they might also realize that something was wrong, and alerted General Vance in advance.

"Yes, General, I've found some clues, the canyon may be a little dangerous, it's best to let the army get around here."

Chen Lun nodded and said.

General Vance chuckled.

"I don't disbelieve you, but the Scout and the Mechanical Falcon have already surveyed the canyon in advance, and they haven't found any enemy troops at all...... Although the detour is safe, it will delay the fighter planes and slow down the progress of the entire battlefield. ”

"General, it is very likely that the enemy is using supernatural means to hide, and Priest Kuni and I have detected an abnormal mysterious aura...... Archon Jack seems to feel the same way, and for the sake of caution, please consider it. ”

A female clergyman of the Moon Church said in a deep voice.

General Vance whispered a few words to the military senior next to him, then thought about it and said to Chen Lun:

"yes, I see."

Afterwards, the clergy of the Moon Church and the Hailing Regiment did not say anything more, and got up and left the tent. They have done their due diligence in reminding them, and it is up to General Vance to decide what to do.

Seeing this, Chen Lun also knew that there was no point in staying, so he turned around and turned back.

But he shook his head to himself, for he could see that General Vance had clearly not taken their words to heart.

The Imperial military doesn't even think much of the Inquisition and the Asylum Chamber, let alone the Church of the Seven...... Forget it, it doesn't matter to me how the battle goes, as long as I can successfully accumulate enough experience points. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

Half an hour later.

The army was packed up and continued to move, but the direction of travel was still in the canyon.

Chen Lun sat in the carriage, lifted the curtains to watch this scene, turned his head to his subordinates with a calm face and said:

"Later, if there is an emergency, keep an eye on General Vance's carriage and save his life as much as possible...... Other than that, there's no need to pay attention. ”

The subordinates were very surprised, but they didn't ask much, just solemnly replied:

"Yes, Mr. Jack."

Soon, when all the troops entered the canyon, there was a sudden noise overhead.

Cracking sound!

On the mountain walls on both sides, those standing cacti suddenly burst into giant "meat blankets" that were as brilliant as flowers!

Dense human bodies crawled out of it, naked, covered in slime, and at the same time, with hideous and ferocious faces, they threw out the explosives in their hands.

"For the kingdom! Kill all the invaders! ”

"Long live Anlong!!"

Thundered!!

For a time, the interior of the canyon shook the mountains.
