Chapter 449 Why_2
Su Keying continued to reply.
"Come quickly, there are four or five of them, all Low Sequence Transcendents, and Wei Yin and I can't handle them."
"Okay, wait for us."
Dongyang said.
"Roger that! We'll be there soon!"
The Dragon King immediately responded.
The others quickly replied, while also tagging Polaris, signalling him to hurry to the scene... After all, this was a Promotion Ceremony prepared for him; the protagonist certainly couldn't be absent.
"Alright, I see the coordinates, I'm not far away, I'll be there in two minutes."
Polaris spoke.
Without a moment's delay.
The high-level gamer squad met up in a gray-black simple warehouse, and Su Keying, pointing at another warehouse across the street, whispered:
"I saw clearly just now, there are six people inside, all Sequence Eight Transcendents, a bit higher in Level than us, and from a very mixed faction..."
Dongyang thought for a moment, then turned to Polaris and said:
"We'll go first in a moment, try to leave one for you to create an opportunity for a one-on-one fight... The Transcendent object for bleeding should be ready for use at any time, we'll notify you on the channel then."
"Fine."
Polaris nodded.
After exchanging a few more words, they were about to start their action.
At this time, a thunderous boom suddenly came from overhead, accompanied by violent tremors.
"What happened?"
Doghead Gold asked in surprise and concern.
"I don't know, it seems to be noise from above the high wall."
"Let's go, out to have a look."
Dongyang called out to everyone, and promptly led the way out of the warehouse.
The team looked towards the road they had come from, shock evident on each person's face. They saw that on the high wall of the Bridgehead Fortress not far away, huge and ancient Stone Pillars seemed to have grown out at an angle!
Those Stone Pillars were covered with strange and mystical symbols, and many thick iron chains connected them to one another, forming an irregular circle at first glance!
"There seem to be two people up there?!"
The Horseman pointed and said, looking at the high wall.
Dongyang and the others frowned, gazing intently into the distance, with Polaris being the first to see the scene clearly, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.
"It's Mr. Jack... he seems to be confronting a female officer."
"It really is him!"
Wei Yin exclaimed with delight.
The huge disturbance on the high wall attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield. Soldiers from both sides were shocked by this strange change, while the players on the Anlong side were considerably tense, having also spotted Jack's figure.
Now in version 2.0, "Jack" was still quite famous among the players, and these Anlong players were quite worried, fearing this NPC would once again show his divine might and crush their faction's high-end force.
On the other hand, the Circus players' morale soared.
With their top dog arriving personally, they naturally wanted to perform well. Therefore, their attacks on the enemy were even more ferocious.

Atop the high walls of the Hercules Bridgehead Fortress.
Chen Lun, holding the Silver Staff, stood before the short-haired female officer like a Gentleman taking a leisurely stroll, looking completely at ease. He had already learned some information about the woman through "Peek Life" ahead of time. Her name was Ibrayin, a high-ranking Sequence Four from the Constellation, but what stood before him was just one of her Incarnations.
Her identity was also quite unique, a "Honorary General" hired by the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Anlong from the Duchy of Yake, mainly responsible for defending the Royal Family and handling some supernatural affairs.
"I know you, Jack Spett, one of the Governing Officers of the Generous Council."
The short-haired woman had a rather charming appearance, and she smiled faintly, her eyes seemingly swirling with stars.
"Delighted to meet you, Ibrayin Your Majesty."
Chen Lun took off his hat and gave a slight Gentleman's bow.
"We don't know each other, but simply stand on opposing sides due to differing stances... There's no need for pleasantries, they're too hypocritical, and I'm someone who particularly dislikes that."
Ibrayin spoke softly.
Chen Lun nodded and put his hat back on.
"Well then..."
He changed the subject and raised his Silver Staff, pointing at the soldiers below the high wall who were busily transporting barrels of gunpowder.
At that moment, daylight had faded, and under the casting of Hailing Group, the rain grew heavier, shrouding the entire Bridgehead Fortress in cold and dampness.
"Your feigned attempt to blow up the Bridgehead Fortress is actually to provoke the Imperial Army to attack more hurriedly..."
Chen Lun stretched out his hand and caught some of the falling rainwater.
Amid the gentle rain, his voice emerged from beneath his hat:
"As for whether this heavy rain will wet the gunpowder, you actually don't care... because it is merely a pretense on the surface. In reality, before the Imperial Army arrived, you had already buried enough gunpowder, ready to Detonate at any time. Is that correct?"
Ibrayin's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You're very clever, but it seems that the Commander of the Imperial Army does not trust you, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen for it so easily... What you are saying now is meaningless because most of the Imperial Army has already entered, and they will soon become ashes along with this Bridgehead Fortress."
Then, She looked around at those huge Stone Pillars that had risen abruptly from both sides of the high wall.
"It seems you've already considered me 'prey'? To use a Mysterious Object of such Level to seal the area... Although I'm not confident I can break through it, what makes you think you can deal with me?"
"Hmm..."
Chen Lun pondered.
He slowly raised his head, smiling, but the corners of his mouth revealed a murderous intent that he'd long suppressed.
