"Teacher, thank you for teaching, I will try to practice them."

Polaris recovered from his excitement and said in a deep voice.

Syllable!

All they heard was a snap of their fingers.

Jack's hand flew out of thin air, as if by magic, and in a continuous uproar, dozens of cards flipped and spun, catapulted into the air of the tent, and began to fly around him again.

Eventually, the cards rolled up neatly like a bird returning to their nests and stopped in Jack's palm.

"The war in the west will continue for some time, and you can use this opportunity to hone your fighting skills and gradually become familiar with the abilities of [magician]......"

Chen Lun put the deck of poker in his palm into Polaris' hand.

"Next, I'm looking forward to your performance."

"Yes, Teacher."

Polaris clenched the poker tightly and said solemnly.

Although he knew that it was just an ordinary deck of cards, it contained the teacher's expectations for him.

Polaris takes this expectation very seriously.

At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, more than a dozen short figures walked in from outside.

They are black cats that walk upright, wearing leather armor, carrying a string of tactical pouches around their waists, and even carrying swords that clearly don't fit their size.

The player couldn't resist the curiosity and lost the probe, but instead of a series of horizontal lines unknown, only the bright red name indicated that they were not easy to mess with. The leader was a black cat with a brown leather blindpatch in its left eye and a giant axe on its back, with a name hanging on its head—

【Captain of the Circus Black Cat Samurai Team - Nada】

The black cats ignored everyone and went straight to Jack's table, and the black cats saluted the head of the regiment as if they were humans, and said:

"Mr. Jack, Miss Floy, they've completed their mission, let's get back to you first."

"Well done."

Chen Lun nodded and praised it.

Na Da briefly stated what happened, how the circus cadres bypassed the defense of the bridgehead according to the plan, found the underground passage prompted by the regiment commander in advance, and lurked there to wait, and finally intercepted the defeated army of Anlong.

There were a few surprises along the way, but Floi was quick enough to get out of the way easily.

As Na Da spoke, a smile appeared on Chen Lun's face.

Although he had already secretly observed this through the [Pale Mark], it was a completely different feeling to listen to the process from the mouths of his subordinates.

At the same time, the players in the tent showed surprise after hearing these contents. They didn't expect that the reason why the enemy was so completely defeated in this battle was because Mr. Jack had already arranged it.

"- No wonder I didn't see the cadres of the circus before, it turned out that they had long been hiding in the bridgehead."

"——I'll just say that it was too much of a coincidence at the time, Anlong's army had just shown a tendency to retreat, and we received the task of going to the underground passage to surround the enemy army."

"-Worthy of Jack's boss, I'm afraid he has already divined all this, or is it 'the guidance of fate'? Hahaha......"

Dongyang and others were communicating in the channel, and Su Keying spoke at this time:

By the way, did you read the game forums, there are some posts from players of the Wonder Guild sharing their faction's quests...... One of the things has caused a lot of discussion that a large amount of explosives were actually buried under the bridgehead, and the Anlong army was originally going to detonate them at the same time as they were evacuating, but I don't know why they couldn't light the fuse, and even burning gunpowder with an open flame at close range didn't work. ”

"—huh? And there's such a thing?! ”

"-According to this, in fact, An Longfang still kept a hand, fortunately the explosives did not explode, otherwise the imperial army might have suffered heavy losses...... We're probably going to have to die in the explosion once too. ”

"-Those turtle grandsons of Anlong are really ruthless......"

"—Hey, since Jack knew where the enemy was retreating, it was impossible not to know about the explosives...... Did he do it when the gunpowder could not be detonated? ”

"- Eh! Reasonable! Brother Beizi, you are Jack's student, open your mouth and ask, maybe you can trigger some more tasks......"

Polaris glanced at the statements in the channel, thoughtful.

There are also a lot of explosives under the bridgehead ?!

Does the Imperial Military know about this?

So......

What about teachers?

He was silent for a few seconds, and finally planned to ask out loud, and if the teacher didn't know, it could be regarded as a reminder.

"Teacher, I have something I want to report to you."

Polaris said like a student asking a question in class.

Chen Lun sat on the chair, turned his gaze to look at him, and then smiled:

"Say it."

"It's about the Hercule bridgehead...... Through some special channels, we learned some information from other undead strangers, and someone found a large amount of buried explosives under the bridgehead. ”

The players watched Jack's expression, trying to find some clues, but to their surprise, Jack just nodded lightly.

In the next second, the other party's eyes swept over everyone, and the pupils seemed to bloom with radioactive patterns, which was intoxicating.

The players present received prompts from the panel-

[You are affected by Jakespeter's abilities!] 】

In an instant, the scene inside the tent in the player's eyes changed to a terrifying scene...... In the dim and reddened sunset, the bridgehead that stood on the other side of the Benavides River exploded in the gloomy environment, and countless soldiers were torn to pieces by the flames in an instant before they could even scream.

Several deafening loud bangs rang out one after another, and the bridgehead was shrouded in smoke and explosions, turning into a terrifying sea of fire ruins!

Immediately.

Everyone came back from their trance and found themselves still in the tent, and Jack's voice came unhurriedly:

"Well, according to the original line of fate, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army will disappear along with the Hercule Bridgehead and be destroyed in a terrifying explosion......"

The players looked up with a shocked look on their faces and saw Jack's calm face.

"But fate has changed."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, more than a dozen players had already heard the subtext from the words......

"-Is it really Jack?! He was the one who put the explosion out of the way! ”

—it...... It turns out that there is such a hidden plot, if Su Keying didn't talk about the forum post, we wouldn't know about it. ”

"—Do you think there are still many major events in these two versions that have been changed by Jack a long time ago, but we don't know? Or other fateful bigwigs hiding in the shadows? ”

"-Hey, it's scary to think about it......"

"-Brother Beizi, can you help me ask, Jack still doesn't accept students, I can reopen an account to practice the fate department...... Just the thought of being able to reverse the world line like Jack in the future makes me feel so cool! ”

"-Yes, yes, this ability is really a tyrant! I also want to change jobs to play Destiny! ”

Polaris just rolled his eyes at this, as if he hadn't seen it.

It didn't take long for Jack to say to the players:

"Well, the battle for the bridgehead has just ended, and I'm also a little tired and want to rest."

Everyone heard the subtext, and after looking at each other, they got up and retreated.

After the players left, Chen Lun ordered some trivial things to the black cats, and Na Lun took the lead in meowing twice and replied respectfully.

Until only Chen Lun himself was left in the tent.

"Hoo ......"

He let out a breath, leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

The first battle of the Western War finally ended perfectly, and I reaped a lot of benefits from it through early preparations...... Chief among them is experience.

Chen Lun opened the panel to check it, and immediately smiled.

[Experience: 214W/45W]

During this time, through the accumulation of reading books and the kill rewards in the Battle of Hercule's Bridgehead, I have accumulated more than two million experience points...... A lot of this comes from the efforts of the players, who can also share a little experience with me. ’

He didn't hesitate, and directly added the experience points to the main class [Juggler LV40], which was raised by four levels. The remaining 200,000 experience points were no longer enough to continue to improve, so Chen Lun had no choice but to give up.

[The main class level increases, and you feel that your body has been strengthened, with the upper limit of health +200, the upper limit of physical strength +200, the upper limit of sanity +2, the strength +2, the stamina +2, the dexterity +4, and the intelligence +4!] 】

[You have gained 4 skill points and 4 attribute points!] 】

Chen Lun looked at the panel and sighed secretly that it was getting more and more difficult to upgrade.

'I hope that through the next battle, I can increase both the [Juggler] and the [Engraver]...... Only then can the trigger conditions for the promotion task be met. ’

He shook his head.

The next few days.

Chen Lun led his subordinates and stayed in the Hercule bridgehead. It has been cleaned up, swept and repaired by the Imperial Army, and has gradually become a new look.

Perhaps the rear received the good news from General Vance, and began to send advance supply troops from the cities on the border of the empire.

Chen Lun secretly guessed that perhaps in the future, as General Vance said, the Imperial Army would continue to send troops through the Hercule bridgehead to the hinterland of the Principality of Yako, thus greatly affecting the frontal battlefield.

On this day, he was chatting with Floy and other subordinates in his temporary residence, when he suddenly received a prompt from the panel-

[Because of your actions in the "Battle of Hercule Bridgehead", your deeds are spread in the 14th Army of the Western Expeditionary Force of the Empire......]

[Regional Singing Degree increased by 3 points!] It's currently 140 points! (Another: Epic Singing Degree 4 points)]

"What's wrong?"

Floy asked suspiciously, filling him with black tea.

Chen Lun came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and shook his head.

"Nothing ......"

But in my heart I secretly said:

'It's not far from the 5 epic popularity required for promotion......

*

*

The smoke of the war in the west continues to permeate.

Although residents in the cities of the empire's interior could not see the exact process, many dedicated war correspondents accompanied the army and recorded many details on the front lines.

After being checked by the military's auditing department, the stories were printed from factories and sold to every household through the operations of media companies.

"Victory of the Empire!"

"The sun's rays shine all over the continent!"

"Rebellious children will eventually return to their fathers!"

"Three hundred and twenty years, the lost territory is back!"

A variety of uplifting headlines fill the daily news of various newspapers. Countless nobles and wealthy merchants of high society talked about war in public, and no one would be disgusted by it, on the contrary, a sense of pride and superiority permeated the hearts of every citizen of the empire.

Time turned, and nearly a month had passed since Chen Lun's expedition with the army.

The Imperial Army was divided into several army groups, and the United Kingdom of Anlong was under full pressure.

Chen Lun's 14th Army, relying on the Hercule bridgehead, constantly compressed the scope of activities of the Principality of Yako, occupying one town after another.

In this way, he was also able to spy on the leopard and speculate on the rest of the battlefield...... The situation in the United Kingdom of Anlong has probably reached a precarious point.

Maybe in less than half a month, the other side will be defeated and surrendered.

This was not a fair duel in the first place, looking at the entire continent, even the three kingdoms of Beelzebub, Byron and Shuoli were only vassals of the Trisur Empire, not to mention Anlong, a united kingdom that survived in the cracks.

The Trisur Empire is considered to be the most powerful nation, having almost unified the continent four thousand years ago. Anlong was able to support it for more than a month, which is already very surprising.

On this day, Chen Lun followed the imperial army, which had increased to more than 50,000 troops, to a forest like a primeval land.

This territory is already the hinterland of the Principality of Yaco, and sixty kilometers further on you will reach the Castle of the Forest of Nabil, the largest city outside of the capital of the Principality of Yaco.

"Commander, we have received news from the military that the capital of the Principality of Cherol was breached by the Imperial Army yesterday evening, and the surrender was announced overnight...... The Principality of Zbreba is being surrounded by four regimental groups, and I am afraid it will not last long. In addition, those small countries were easily swept away by the Imperial Army a long time ago, and now as long as our side wins, the war should be almost over, right? ”

Councilor Frey raised his glass in the carriage and took a sip and asked respectfully at Chen Lun.

"Hmm...... If nothing else, most likely so. ”

Chen Lun bowed slightly.

He turned his head to look out the window, and although this was a forest, the trees were not luxuriant, but rather short and sparse...... I don't know if it's because of the breed or the geographical environment.

The dense crowd of soldiers marched silently in sight, countless huge carriages followed, and the animals in the forest seemed to sense the danger, and they did not dare to make any calls, and there was silence all around.

Recalling the experience during this time, Chen Lun drank milk a little bored.

He led his team and participated in several large and small battles with the army, but nothing special happened, mainly because of the tailwind battle, and there was not much he could do.

At most, the player will continue to post some kill missions through the panel to motivate them to earn experience points for themselves. The harvest is good, and millions of experience points have come in.

Chen Lun poked his head out of the car window and looked ahead.

Passing past the trooping figures of the troops, all you could see was trees blocking the view, and some crooked sand and gravel dirt roads.

It's mid-to-late June, the temperature is gradually rising, and the environment is full of muggy.

Through the forest, Chen Lun seemed to see the castle in the distance, and secretly said in his heart:

'This should be the last battle I can fight, but it's probably not that simple......

The reason why he had this idea came from the reminder of his spiritual intuition and the foreshadowing of the divination of the previous night's dream.

In the dream, the forest castle was full of roses, and the corpses of countless soldiers also bloomed bright red flowers, which was beautiful.

Behind the United Kingdom of Anlong is the support of the Kingdom of Beelzebub...... The Rose Royals will not sit back and watch them defeat easily. ’

Chen Lun's eyes were deep.
