Chapter 455: No One Knows Players Better Than I Am
In the next second, there was a sudden change in the city.
Hah-
Roar –
A creepy roar came out, like a beast, but more terrifying than a beast. Immediately after, shriveled and charred figures crawled all over the castle walls......
They retain some of their human features, but their limbs are strangely twisted, their skin is as hideous as if they had been badly burned, and they are covered in cracks, and even a bright red liquid like lava-like blood continues to flow from them.
On that unrecognizable face, there were no facial features to be seen, only the hollow eye holes were deep and dark, as if a terrible hatred and malice were spreading from it, and they wanted to slaughter all living things in the world.
Chen Lun flicked his fingers, his index finger came out of his hand, turned into a little white snake against the blood rain, and flew into the sky out of thin air.
Through its perspective, Chen Lun overlooked the tragic situation in the city.
The people who had turned into a puddle of ashes in the unquenchable fire underwent strange changes after being "watered" by the blood rain, only to see that flesh and blood buds had grown on the powder of their corpses, intertwined and reorganized their bodies, and turned into charcoal-like twisted human bodies.
These dead were not only the defenders, but also countless ordinary residents.
The little white snake that was stagnant in the sky of the blood rain, floating through the mist in its emerald green vertical pupils, Chen Lun used his life to see these distorted information about the human body.
'Ritual of Flesh and Blood? ’
On the ground, Chen Lun frowned slightly.
This ritual-transformed twisted human body is called a 'Fallen Meat Golem', similar to the once depraved Fallen Believers of the Red Plague, but even more powerful...... They are more like the products of research specifically for solar catapults, through high-temperature incineration, flesh and blood recombination, mysterious pollution, and intense reluctance and hatred, and finally entangle the spirituality that is about to dissipate, and turn into this kind of polluting creature. ’
He secretly analyzed, and with his occult attainments, he even saw a trace of the ritual shadow of "blasphemy" Ragnar. Because of this blood rain, it is somewhat similar to the ritual that created the giant monster "Fallen Body" in the first place.
Soon, twisted human monsters leaped from the castle and surged towards the Imperial Army.
The officers of the Imperial Army did not disrupt the rhythm of the offensive by accident, they blew their whistles with unusual calmness and directed the soldiers to shoot.
Braving the rain of blood, the Imperial Army pulled the trigger with a flintlock rifle with a cold face.
Bang bang bang......
Even though the steel helmets and uniforms were corroded by the rain of blood, and severe pain was heard from all over their bodies, their iron will did not waver in the slightest.
Only fire, reload, fire!
The vast array of Fallen Flesh Golems twisted and twisted, swaying from side to side on all fours, or bowing backwards, like spiders crawling.
Agile and difficult to catch trajectories allowed them to dodge a few bullets.
But on the battlefield, tens of thousands of muskets will not be deliberately aimed at all, and when the overwhelming barrage of bullets envelops them, the fallen meat puppets are naturally hit by oncoming bullets.
Unfortunately, they didn't slow down much except for the blood splatters on their bodies.
Soon, except for a small number of degenerate meat golems who were torn apart by the dense bullets, the rest rushed into the camp of the Imperial army and began a bloody massacre.
"Uhh
"Ahh
The soldiers of the Imperial Army were brutally torn off their heads and arms by the monsters, and their muskets and spurs were completely incapable of effectively counterattacking.
Although these soldiers are well-trained and have great willpower, they are still ordinary people...... In the face of this group of polluted creatures transformed by rituals, it seems quite powerless.
The Fallen Flesh Golem still has a high temperature on its body, and even if some soldiers are not killed head-on, they will be burned alive from the blood of the monsters.
For a while, in the open land in front of the castle, there were constant screams and roars. The dense gunfire was incessant, and it seemed that the battle situation was very tragic.
Large rear, on a makeshift lookout.
General Vance, who was silently observing the battle, put down his monoculars and his face was gloomy.
"That's all you want? Would you rather accept Beelzebub's manipulation and become the wild dogs they drive, or bite the empire? Amusing! ”
The two lieutenants, as well as some military chiefs, also stood on the stage, their expressions very solemn, as if the Imperial army's offensive had been seriously hampered, and casualties had begun to rise sharply.
"General, if we continue like this, our soldiers will suffer heavy losses."
The adjutant said in a deep voice.
General Vance thought for a moment and turned his head slightly.
"Let the heads of the Moon Church, the Hailing Order, and the Council of Generosity all come over and ......"
The adjutant immediately understood what the general meant.
Since the other party uses the transcendent means of the mysterious realm on a large scale, then if you want to deal with it well, of course, you must turn to "professionals".
In a few moments, Sister Suha, Priest Kuni, and Chen Lun were invited to the lookout.
General Vance raised his hand and asked his men to hand over three telescopes.
However, the priest of Kuni waved his hand and politely declined the offer.
"General, we already know the details."
General Vance seemed to have expected this, and nodded.
After all, these three people are high-ranking clergy of the church, and most of them have abilities that they don't know about, and they can probe the battlefield without the help of tools.
"In that case, did the three of you see what the kind of monster sent by the other party is?"
General Vance asked.
"It should be a flesh-and-blood evil ritual that can transform ordinary people...... I smell uncomfortable pollution from them, and perhaps in a one-on-one situation, the average low-sequence transcendent would be difficult to compete with. ”
Sister Suha expressed her speculation.
Priest Kuni nodded in agreement.
"Through observation, it can be found that that kind of monster is extremely physical, not afraid of pain, and has no humanity, only a strong desire to kill...... This is no longer the category of transcendent beings or transcendent beings, and should be classified as some kind of ritual product. ”
General Vance and the top brass of the military frowned even more when they heard this.
The general looked at the black-hatted young man on the far right, as if to ask what the latter had to say.
"To be precise, this is a sacrificial ritual improved by the Red Apple Church or the Rose Royals by drawing on the research of 'Blasphemous Prince' Ragnar, the main principle of which is to use heat and blood rain to transform ordinary people into a polluted creature called a 'fallen meat golem'......"
Chen Lun pestle the silver cane and said calmly.
Sister Suha and Priest Kuni looked surprised, they didn't expect this young man to know so much, and even see the details of the other party at a glance.
"High temperature ......?"
General Vance didn't question it, and after hearing Chen Lun's words, he couldn't help but groan. Then he raised his head, glanced at the catapult not far away, and cursed in a low voice:
"Damn Beelzebub, it looks like he's ready for all this."
With a sigh of relief, the general turned around and asked the three if they were sure that they would eliminate all those "degenerate meat puppets".
Sister Suha and Priest Kuni suddenly looked embarrassed.
"General, the strength of that kind of monster is nothing to us, but there are too many of them, and there are thousands of them at the moment...... And the blood rain has not stopped, the castle is constantly transforming, monsters and the Imperial army are handing over, mixed together, even if we attack a wide area, it is easy to cause serious accidental damage. ”
Priest Kuni explained with a sigh.
General Vance's face was gloomy, and he knew that Priest Cooney was not blindly shirking, and what he said was not unreasonable.
Before the war began, the Church of the Seven supported the Western War and was willing to send clergy to accompany the army, but their main duty was only to ensure the personal safety of their commanders.
Support the frontal battlefield, and at most handy.
Just when General Vance was at a loss, the black-hatted young man next to him suddenly spoke:
"General, this matter may be handed over to my army of undead strangers."
"Huh?"
Everyone turned their heads to look.
General Vance still frowned, and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you sure?"
Only to hear Jack chuckle and continue:
"The experience of war during this period has made them improve very quickly...... They are transcendental, and with their immortality, I believe it will be enough to curb the momentum of those 'fallen meat golems'. ”
General Vance listened, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
"In that case, the damned monsters are up to you, Archon Jack."
He took a deep look at Chen Lun and added:
"If things go well, I will personally state your merits to the prince after the war."
"It's just a small contribution to the Empire, General."
Chen Lun smiled slightly, took off his hat and bowed.
Immediately, he took his leave on the pretext of gathering the legions of undead strangers.
Everyone watched his back get off the high platform and gradually move away.
Priest Kuni and Sister Suha looked at each other, they were actually a little puzzled, why those immortal strangers would be so willing to obey Jack's orders?
In fact, the Church of the Seven Gods has studied earlier than any other force, and this group that suddenly came, although they have great potential and have the characteristics of immortality, are extremely uncontrollable, not to mention the word loyalty.
The Church tried so many ways that it failed to effectively control the undead strangers, so much so that they eventually abandoned the group and never considered them their own.
But in Jack's case, things don't seem to be the same at all.
Soha and Kuni had seen the undead strangers flock to Jack so fervently that they affectionately called him "Captain" and shouted that they would die for him.
Among them is also a young girl, who keeps shouting for him to have a baby and other strange words, like those ignorant girls who have been bewitched by a cult.
At that moment, Sister Suha even felt a hint of pity.
The unknown and the incomprehensible seem to have turned into a cloak made of mist, covering the tall and straight back, which looks even more mysterious.

After Chen Lun returned to his temporary tent, he immediately opened the panel and prepared a new side quest for the players under his command-
[Side Mission: Western War/Battle of Nabil Forest Castle/Blood Rain in the City!] 】
In the mission description, he explained the information and origin of the "Fallen Meat Golem" to the player, described the various cruel details of the Blood Rain Ritual in great detail, and rendered the players as heroes fighting against polluted monsters, saviors of the Empire, and fearless warriors from a foreign land.
It's ridiculous, but this can make players feel more immersed, and when they kill polluted monsters, they will also have a greater sense of accomplishment.
He understands how to increase the game experience and create joy in playing.
'No one understands players better than I do......'
Chen Lun lay back in an easy chair, holding a glass of cold milk, and shook his head.
You have to learn to be grateful, for this is the task I have worked so hard for you...... If you don't kill a few more polluting monsters, how can you be worthy of me? ’
Like an old man enjoying the shade under a tree, he gently shook his chair, and with a small creaking sound, he finalized the task and sent it out.
It didn't take long.
The military personnel in the camp in the rear, as well as the clergy of the church, heard the noise. I saw that the two thousand immortal strangers who were originally on standby took action one after another, leaving the camp in a swarm and rushing towards the castle in the distance.
In the mouths of those immortal strangers, they also shouted words that people couldn't understand:
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Damn, it's finally time for the mission! But Lao Tzu is in a hurry! ”
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
"In the last version of the Scarlet Battle, I was bullied by this thing, and now I see if Lao Tzu can kill those 'degenerate meat puppets'!"
"You're mistaken, the last version was called 'Fallen Believers', and it's not a strange ...... at all."
"What he cares about is the stuff that the Rotten Apple Church has made up and is a scourge! Who are we? We are warriors in a foreign land, specializing in all kinds of evil ways! ”
"Wow quack! My Fire Fist is already hungry! ”
"And my magic scroll, I'm going to kill too!!"
The group rushed to the battlefield with no discipline to speak of, but observing their military and church personnel, they could not help but feel a subtle power.
After all, these are two thousand transcendentals, even if they are still in the low rank, but when they are dispatched together, their power should not be underestimated!
Soon, the Imperial Army, which was forced to retreat due to the onslaught of the Fallen Meat Golems, was supported by the Legion of Undead Outlanders.
And the players support, quite direct and rude, there is no unified command of the leader, but a few people in a group of more than a dozen people, each fighting for itself.
They first tacitly took out the [Connie No. 2] flintlock rifle with "various skins", and kept pulling the trigger, shooting out dense black-red electric ballistics, suppressing the degenerate meat puppets in the chaotic battlefield.
Bang bang bang......
The Black Crystal Bullet, made from Longli Stone, contains the power of annihilating activity, as if it is the nemesis of these fallen meat golems...... After they are shot, their wounds continue to wither, gradually affecting their mobility.
Later, the players threw "Red and Blue Ink" bombs at the area densely populated by the Fallen Meat Golems, causing a roar.
When the distance between the two sides is close, the players will each show their own sequence abilities, and one by one huge strong men will charge forward, holding various heavy cold weapons, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the fallen meat golems, which is quite bloody.
Among them, the most eye-catching are the dozens of minotaurs led by Kotou Jin. White gas erupted from their nostrils, colliding with the twisted polluted human body at an extremely fast speed, and the shattered flesh flew sideways.
Countless sharp arrows screeched through the twisted monster's body.
A round of red or blue arcane symbols appeared in the sky, which were magic players, providing various buffs to their companions, and patches of acid clouds drifted by, raining down dark green linear arrows to inflict mass damage on monsters.
However, the Fallen Meat Golems are no weak target, and they are at the mercy of players, tearing apart many players' bodies with their dexterous and treacherous posture and sharp claws.
White lights also lit up on the battlefield one after another......
On the easy chair in the camp at the back, Chen Lun calmly looked at the panel, and prompt boxes kept popping up, and the experience value column was growing at a rapid rate.
[Circus player "Morning and Evening" kills the Fallen Meat Golem, and you gain 300 XP points!] 】
[Circus player "Polaris" kills the Fallen Meat Golem, and you gain 300 experience points!] 】
[Circus player "Invincible Charizard" kills ......]
He smiled slowly.
