SWNOVELXO Chapter 449 Why
Hearing Chen Lun's brief and calm words, several military leaders behind General Vance, as well as some weakened nuns of the Moon Church, appeared very surprised.
"This is indeed the simplest and most effective method, but who will go?"
General Vance glanced at the four bodyguards lying on the ground, now turned into marble statues, his expression solemn.
"Sister Suha said that the one who made the move just now was an Incarnation of the Saint..."
As he spoke, he subtly glanced at the shadow under his feet, and through the slight tremor attaching to his sole from the shadow, he received a negative response.
"Even the 'Royal Shadow Guard' is not sure?"
General Vance thought, his brow slightly furrowed.
The battle was still ongoing, the Imperial Army had gradually gained the upper hand, breaking through the Great Gate of the Bridgehead Fortress and was now storming inside... but as the highest commander, he was being closely watched by the opponent's powerful transcendent Combat Power, the situation was extremely delicate.
If he, the commander stationed at the rear, encountered any mishaps, no matter how much advantage the Imperial Army had, it would vanish in an instant, resulting in complete defeat.
At that moment, Chen Lun spoke again, answering the general:
"General, let me do it."
The military leaders immediately cast admiring glances at him, while all of the clergy of the Moon Church, including Sister Suha, silently focused their eyes on him.
These people had heard some about Jack, the Governing Officer of the Generous Council, the rumors that he had more than once slain an Incarnation of the Saint... Now, judging by this man's confidence, even if the rumors were exaggerated, they weren't far off.
"Since that's the case, that powerful transcendent Combat Power of the enemy will be handled by you, Governing Officer Jack..."
General Vance looked deeply at Chen Lun.
Chen Lun, supporting the brim of his hat, slightly nodded in acknowledgment, and then, leaning on his Silver Staff, his figure disappeared from the spot, none of those present noticed how he left.
People of the Moon Church couldn't help but express astonishment in their eyes.

The Great Gate of the Hercules Bridgehead Fortress had been blown open by the Imperial Army, a numerous force stormed in, followed closely by the players from the Circus.
Once inside the fortress, these players, like starved wolves, looked at the enemy soldiers with "green light" in their eyes, moving more decisively and ruthlessly than the Imperial Army, even snatching away the kills of those enemy soldiers that had already lost their combat capability from the hands of the Imperial Army.
This abnormal phenomenon caught the attention of the Imperial Army, many officers even communicated via walkie-talkies, but in the end, they reached a conclusion… the Undead Foreigners under Jack, the Governing Officer, had a violent combat style, probably already trained into a "bloodthirsty legion" by him!
Fortunate they were allies, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to deal with them.
"It hurts like hell! Damn it!"
A two-meter-tall Minotaur was rampaging through the corridor on the high walls of the interior of the fortress, bullets firing at him in rapid succession, splattering blood everywhere, inciting his roars.
"Doghead Gold, move aside!"
A shrill rebuke followed from behind him.
The Minotaur moved aside in response, and instantly, several arrows shot swiftly from behind him, whizzing past and striking straight the Anlong soldiers on the stairway above.
With a few "thuds," those soldiers' heads were pierced through, collapsing instantly, their metal helmets useless as crumpled paper.
Doghead Gold looked back, seeing Honey Pomelo flash a radiant smile, holding a longbow and giving him a thumbs up.
"Damn it, stealing my kills again!"
His bull face twisted into a scowl, snorting out a puff of white air.
The next second, a cloud of dark green "Acid Cloud" drifted overhead, falling towards the remaining Anlong soldiers, the chilling sizzling sound, accompanied by screams, indicated that Chenxi had released a Magic Scroll.
"You two really treat me like a tool, huh?!"
He glared with bulging eyes, and immediately leaped to another location.
Dongyang, Horseman, and Kuang Benkuang were nearby under a high wall, fighting Anlong soldiers, their hands emitting scorching golden light, dodging bullets adeptly and engaging in close combat, punching soldiers to death with a single blow.
Every time that golden fist struck, it produced a muffled boom, and some enemy soldiers were hit so hard that their bodies deformed, the high temperature even igniting their clothing, making them appear like grotesque torches, a horrifying sight.
Dragon King, Tutu, and Kuchan Nana were fighting opposing players, discovering that they belonged to three different guilds, "Miracle," "Elysium Rock," and "White Horse" respectively.
Though the opposing numbers swarmed into the hundreds, their own Circus had quite a number of high-level players too, hence, the main thoroughfare near the interior of the fortress became quite fiercely contested… the ordinary soldiers being "courteous" enough to avoid this battlefield to not get caught by various supernatural powers.
The soldiers were brave and fearless, but these Undead Foreigners simply wouldn't die!
Nobody wanted to become a casualty during these "madmen's" clash.
"—Guys, we've found a Sequence Eight transcendent NPC!"
Su Keying suddenly spoke in the high-level players' private channel.
"—Where are you?"
Dongyang asked.
"—Roughly north of the fortress, go straight after entering the Great Gate, and you'll see a spacious open area, with some warehouses on both sides... The exact coordinates are sent to the channel, you can check there."
