Chen Lun stood quietly on the banks of the Benavides River, his eyes reflecting the waves.

He slowly lowered his hand and thought to himself:

'One of the most crucial aspects of the Battle of the Hercule Bridgehead was the explosives planted in advance by the United Kingdom of Anlong...... Sure enough, judging from the feedback of [Corrupt Desire], there were indeed a large number of explosives, but at this moment they were already in a 'decaying state' and could not be detonated. ’

Chen Lun let out a long breath and turned around to leave.

However, at this time, a compassionate thought involuntarily arose in his mind:

'Why do humans kill each other?' Why research various weapons tools for the sake of killing...... Like flintlock pistols, cannons, and explosives buried under a bridgehead, is slaughtering one's own kind the only way for humanity to progress? ’

Chen Lun's silent eyes flashed with sadness.

He then thought of his identity, as a member of the church who accompanied the expedition and would also participate in the fight and battle, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

'It is unforgivable that I should climb to the top of the Council of Generosity for such a foolish purpose, and take part in the war so fanatically......

Chen Lun looked at his hands, as if he saw endless blood and wailing, and he even had a sense of self-destruction, wanting to end his life of sin.

But soon, his high mystical resistance and strong willpower made him realize that something was wrong.

It's a side effect of the trick...... My desires are rotten. ’

Chen Lun flashed a thought, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his gaze lowered.

In the next second, a tyrannical smile bloomed on his face, and the [Balague Necklace] on his chest began to squirm continuously, "growing" wires with rusty spikes, wrapped around his chest and neck.

'Just because you want to corrupt my will and desires?' ’

Chen Lun raised his left hand and sneered at the moldy gloves.

The killing intent in my heart is like the hot lava of a volcanic eruption, which is difficult to suppress.

'I don't care at all about the success or failure of the Battle of Hercule's bridgehead, and I don't care if the Imperial Army will be blown to ashes...... All I want is everything to develop according to my script, no one can stop me from killing, only by killing, can I quickly accumulate experience points, can I meet the conditions for promotion, and can I break through the control of that damn fate! ’

He squeezed his fists violently, the gloves were clenched tightly by him, and even let out a creaking "wail", Chen Lun took out the [sting] again, and suddenly released the vigorous vitality, and the rings of the years climbed up to the [Decadent Desire], and the gloves squirmed even more consciously, as if they were frightened, constantly avoiding the spread of the annual rings.

"Be honest with me, and if you dare to influence me, you will completely rot."

Chen Lun muttered fiercely and withdrew his strength.

This time, the moldy gloves didn't move.

He took it off, tucked it in his pocket, turned and walked away.

Woo –

The horn of the charge sounded over the Benavides River, soaring into the sky.

Rumbling artillery fire and a dense burst of gunfire followed.

"Kill!"

"Charge! Charge! ”

"For the Empire!"

"Long live Trisur!!"

The Imperial Army smashed the blockade of the Hercule Bridge with great speed, knocked down the broken iron fence and various obstacles in an orderly manner, and immediately began to charge on the bridge, aiming at the bridgehead at the end.

Bullets began to rain down from the high walls of the bridgehead, and the evening light had begun to dim, and the light of those gunfire seemed a little harsh, like golden flowers glittering on red satin.

The Imperial Army was suppressed by the first round of fire.

However, as in the previous encounters on the Kerr Plain, the Imperial Army reacted quickly and responded. Chen Lun saw from a distance that the Imperial Army, under the command of the officers, took out the metal cubes in the backpack.

The metal cubes, almost one by one, were manipulated by the soldiers, and between a few breaths, they spread out in pieces of iron to form a rectangular shield half a man high.

The clanging sound was incessant, the bullets landed on the shields, and the Imperial army forced their strafing fire, unabated and selflessly charged.

Phew-

Boom!!

Finally, on the walls of the Hercule bridgehead, those cannons began to fire concentrated shells, and the heavy weapons, which were far more deterrent than bullets, began the second round of suppression.

Accompanied by fire and smoke, rubble and rubble flew everywhere, and some Imperial troops were shattered by shells, leaving charred black pits of flesh and blood on the bridge.

The other side seemed to have no idea whether the Hercule Bridge would collapse in the bombardment, only to maximize the damage to the Imperial army, the artillery fired non-stop, the smoke of gunfire filled the Benavides River, and the sound of guns formed a cruel symphony of war.

Chen Lun slowly came to the entrance of the bridge, found that it had been occupied by the Imperial Army, and built a temporary defense with sandbags, wooden stakes and stones.

The headquarters tent was a little further back, but General Vance sat in a folding chair at the door, keeping an eye on the situation with a telescope. The clergy of the Moon Church and the Hailing Regiment sat down near the general, but there was little communication between them.

At this time, Chen Lun was suddenly stunned.

He found that a prompt box popped up on the panel -

[Circus player "Doghead Gold" kills enemy soldiers, and you gain 50 experience points!] 】

[Circus player "Toyo" kills the enemy player "Long and Thick Radish", and you gain 100 experience points!] 】

[Circus player "Pumpkin" kills enemy soldiers......]

A series of prompts made Chen Lun dizzy.

'I was able to share the kill rewards of my players?! ’

He was pleasantly surprised.

Although these experience points are not much, they can't resist its high frequency!

More than 2,000 circus players, even if they put aside some bastards who are fishing, there are several dozen hints appearing almost every second, and on Chen Lun's panel, the experience points are beating rapidly.

But he looked at the panel and quickly became confused.

'Why hasn't this happened before?' ’

Whether it was the bloody battle at the end of the last version, or the Wasteland Vulture City some time ago, they had Polaris and their pursuit of enemy players harassing the border, but this time it was different.

'Could it be that the 2.0 update has secretly changed some of the panels' mechanics?' ’

Chen Lun had a whim.

He shook his head, thinking unlikely.

Anyway, it's a great thing for me, and I'll figure out how it works when I have time...... What we need to do now is to spur them on. ’

Chen Lun's eyes flashed, and after thinking about it, he quietly operated on the panel and issued another task to the players under his command.

[Side Quest: Western War/Battle of Hercule's Bridgehead/Heroic Killing!] 】

Description: Circus Master Jakespeter is watching from the front lines, and is so pleased with your performance that he will give an extra bonus to the undead strangers for their bravery!

Objective: Kill as many enemies as you can! The top 10 points will receive special rewards! (1 point for killing an enemy soldier, 2 points for killing an enemy officer, 3 points for killing an enemy player, 5 points for killing an enemy Sequence 9 player, 10 points for killing an enemy Sequence 8 player)

Task rewards: 4th to 10th place, one Sequence 8 Extraordinary Knowledge (any way); third place, the above reward and a C-level trick; 2nd place, the above reward and a letter of support from the circus cadres (random); First place, the above reward and the opportunity to teach Jack's skills once (precious).

When Chen Lun released the task.

The players who were fighting under the bridgehead were in an uproar.

"it!"

"And there's an extra bonus!"

"Take Sequence Eight Transcendent Knowledge for free? There are also C-class tricks! Is there a big talk about what a letter of support is? ”

"You can summon circus officials to help...... Anyway, that's the reward for the second place, don't worry about it, it's not your share! ”

"The first place can actually learn Jack's exclusive skills?! What the hell is so against the sky?! ”

"Kill, blanch, don't you overturn this broken bridgehead?!"

In the nearby channels and power channels, all kinds of exchanges flew by, filled with the excited words of the players.

And the most significant thing is that the prompt box that Chen Lun received popped up several times faster than before...... This filled his mind with tinkling sounds, and he had no choice but to quickly set it to "Do Not Disturb Mode".

After doing this, Chen Lun moved a chair and sat at the back of the headquarters, with a smile on his face.

'Very good, fight, warriors of a foreign land......

He clapped his hands and cheered on the players in the distance.

General Vance, the military hierarchy, and the clergy of the Moon Church Hailing Regiment on the side couldn't help but turn their heads to look at it, mistakenly thinking that he was amazed by the fearless charge of the Imperial Army.

"The soldiers of Trasur are never afraid of death, even if there is hell ahead, they will charge bravely...... This is also the reason why our empire is able to overwhelm the continent. ”

General Vance said with a smile.

Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but he didn't explain, but nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, General."

Looking at the experience points that had skyrocketed by tens of thousands in just a few minutes, Chen Lun was quite satisfied and relieved, and couldn't help but say a few more words:

"But the defense of the Hercule bridgehead is a little strange, since they don't care about the integrity of the bridge and bomb it wantonly, why don't they blow it up and evacuate it in advance?"

When General Vance heard him say this, he was not surprised, but said lightly:

"Naturally, they wanted to use the bridgehead as a bait to lure the Imperial army into the fortress...... The other party knows the strategic significance of this military fortress better than us, and knows that we will not give up easily, so most of them have set traps inside, intending to come out of an ambush. ”

The general chuckled and shook his head.

"But Anlong has no idea how powerful their enemies are."

He seemed to be prepared, and his face was full of confidence.

Chen Lun sighed secretly.

He guessed that in his previous life, a considerable part of the reason why the Imperial Army suffered here came from this "self-confidence".

'This is not a trap at all, but a big explosion of a strong man who broke his wrist and turned into ......ashes along with the fortress and the Imperial army'

At this moment, several scouts descended from the makeshift wooden tower, trotted to the headquarters, and stopped beside General Vance.

"General, the enemy seems to be carrying a large number of barrels of explosives!"

"Huh?"

General Vance got up from his chair, picked up the monoculars on his desk and looked in the direction of the bridgehead.

Soon, he frowned.

"Would you rather blow up the bridgehead than give it to us?"

General Vance snorted coldly.

He immediately ordered the army to use "alchemical stimulants" to increase the speed of the attack, and also had the "mechanical falcon" team shoot the enemy troops carrying powder kegs from the air.

"Priest Cooney, can you mobilize the waters of the Benavides River and storm those powder kegs on the high walls of the bridgehead?"

General Vance turned his head to look at the clergy of the Hailing Regiment, and this was the first time he had asked for help.

Chen Lun could see that the general was a little anxious, if it weren't for that, with the other party's character, he would never easily ask them for help from these clergymen.

"Hmm...... All right. ”

Priest Kuni thought for a moment, and finally nodded calmly in agreement.

He and the people of the Hailing Regiment around him stood up, without wasting time, they left the headquarters directly and went to the entrance of the bridge, and a group of deep-sea transcendents of the fifth sequence used the sequence ability of the [Deep Diver] to directly evoke waves of more than ten meters.

Thundered......

Even the clouds in the sky couldn't help but get a little deeper.

Chen Lun watched this scene silently, remembering what he had encountered on the Pearl Bamogo, those deep-sea transcendents of the "Hand of Berry" seemed to have triggered the weather, thus causing the ship to encounter a storm.

However, Sequence 5 alone should not be able to directly create a storm, and most of it is to catalyze it according to the situation...... The current weather doesn't seem to be raining, and these people from the Hailing Regiment are afraid that they still need some help from foreign objects. ’

Sure enough.

I saw that the priest of Cooney and the others took out a palm-sized fish skull, and after activating it, the high waves around it began to rotate on their own, and huge whirlpools appeared on the surface of the Benavides River, where the water was fast.

Whew!

The wind came out of thin air, and the waterspouts rolled higher and higher, even connecting to the sky.

With a boom, the clouds flashed with lightning.

Such a vision attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, whether it was the Anlong army on the bridgehead or the Imperial soldiers, who saw that the environment became darker.

But compared to the indifference of the imperial army, An Long's side became a little flustered.

"It seems that they also realized that the plan was going to go bankrupt......"

General Vance looked through the monoculars and laughed twice.

Suddenly, in the next second, a strange stream of shimmering starlight shone from the top of the bridgehead, like a pillar of light from a lighthouse, and struck straight towards the location of General Vance.

General Vance was stunned for a moment, and his face changed slightly in the next second.

"It's the enemy's transcendent!"

"Protect the General!"

With a few loud shouts, the tall guards trained by the military immediately protected the general, but the dazzling streamer penetrated the bodies of several people, causing them to freeze in place, like sculptures.

The middle-aged nun of the Moon Church had a cold face, got up directly, and raised her hand to see a black circle of light, blocking in front of the streamer.

Airplanes!!

The invisible contest lasted only a moment, and the next moment, the middle-aged nun fell to the ground with her head in her hands and wailing.

In the end, she only had time to scream:

"Sage Incarnation!!"

The black circle of light quietly shattered, and the streamer was about to fall on General Vance's body immediately.

At this critical moment, everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them.

General Vance disappeared, and the streamer only shone on the empty chair, and the illuminated metal folding chair was unexpectedly deformed, and in just a few breaths, it became a marble chair covered with lines, like a work of art.

Chen Lun grabbed General Vance's arm with one hand and led him to appear in the open space more than ten meters away, and the latter let out a long breath and softly thanked Chen Lun.

After a brief silence, General Vance said in a deep voice:

"Hmph...... They couldn't help but dispatch the transcendent to attack the headquarters, and it seemed that they had poked the other party's pain! Herald, keep urging! Speed up the attack! ”

However, Chen Lun quietly glanced at the general's shadow.

In the moments before he came to the rescue of General Vance, he noticed that the latter's shadow moved slightly, as if there was something hidden in it.

It seems that the upper echelons of the Imperial military are not only protective on the surface...... Maybe even if I didn't save him just now, he wouldn't have had an accident easily. ’

At the same time, heavy rain had begun to fall from the sky, enveloping the entire battlefield.

However, the area a kilometer away is still dry, and it seems that the Hailing Regiment's cast range has an upper limit.

Chen Lun glanced at the bridgehead from afar, and with his powerful eyesight, he saw that at the top of the high wall, a short-haired woman in a military uniform was looking indifferently.

The moment their eyes met, both sides seemed to have insight into each other's identities.

"Archon Jack, do you have a good response to the attack just now?"

General Vance turned his head to look at Chen Lun and asked solemnly.

Chen Lun glanced at him and nodded slightly.

"Just kill her."

The general couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Fans said that they were deeply inspired by the book of radish, and they also wrote a book of the same type, and those who are interested can support it~

Title of the book "Raiders say, I seem to be the master of villains"

……

Li En knew that the original owner he had crossed over was the ultimate villain, but that was the first week, what was the matter with the second week?

You must believe me, evil and chaos have nothing to do with me, although I love to make trouble, but I am a good person-

You say the group of players who are following me?

They get along very well, as long as you give me the money, I won't let them bite you.

To sum up, this is a timid and humble NPC that leads those disappointed NPCs and players to sprinkle warmth on the Steam Continent.
