I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 523 - 370: The Blood War!
Chapter 523: Chapter 370: The Blood War!
Time flew; five days later.
Rock State’s Scale Wall City.
This was one of the three main Red Calamity cities within the “Second Combat Zone” that Chen Lun was responsible for.
At this moment, he stood suspended in mid-air, his face calm as he gazed out over the cityscape ahead. Beside him were three Golden Cup council members, including Frey, all controlling shadows that formed cloaks, floating in the air just like the esteemed Governing Officer Jack.
Behind him, on the ground, was a dense crowd of people.
In the front row stood ten Silver Cup council members and more than twenty regular council members followed by high-level player teams like Dongyang Chenxi and Polaris, as well as Circus players… And at the very back were over ten thousand ordinary players.
The players held exquisitely crafted long-barreled flintlock guns in their hands, had a spare blunderbuss slung at their waists, and some wore mechanical gloves. At the same time, nearly every player carried bombs resembling ink bottles in varying quantities.
Their expressions were eager, filled with anticipation and excitement.
The people present were the main force following Chen Lun, tasked with clearing out the main city… while the rest were divided into two groups and launching attacks on other Red Calamity cities within the jurisdiction of Scale Wall City simultaneously.
Chen Lun designated Floey, Maggie, and Golov to lead one group; Noah and Antonio to lead the other. He allocated fifteen Black Crystal puppets and two Golden Cup council members to both groups, while dividing the remaining council members and tens of thousands of players equally between them, moving as teams.
In this way, Chen Lun led the sharp edge, striking directly at the heart. Floey and Noah’s groups maneuvered along the flanks, aiding in the eradication of Red Calamity cities in that main urban area.
Although the tactic wasn’t clever, it was highly efficient.
Even one could say it was simple and brute force.
His confidence lay in these tens of thousands of players!
Each one was fully-armed and capable of resurrection—”Dead Soldiers”!
The vast territory of the combat zone, the Red Apple Church had countless Fallen Believers and lower-ranked priests, and only by relying on the player community could they clean up the fallen Red Calamity area in the shortest time possible.
Chen Lun had already been a week late in taking action; the other nine Governing Officers were making steady progress with their achievements, while he had none. Voices of opposition were growing within the Generous Council, with some members becoming increasingly agitated.
However, Chen Lun didn’t care.
Because he knew that most of those jeering and shouting were from the people under Governing Officers like Houston’s Randa, and internal discourse within the council was largely stirred up and guided by them deliberately.
The Speaker hadn’t taken a stand, but Governing Officers who supported him, like Kingsberg, had sent words of encouragement and support the day before yesterday, telling him not to rush and to proceed with his own plan.
What Chen Lun needed to do now was to lead the players to win this battle.
And, incidentally, to slap those people’s faces hard!

The Circus members had the “Pale Mark” on them, and Chen Lun’s real body was hidden in the Spirit World, only his Deception Incarnation leading the team physically. This way, he could use Cloud Leap to intervene whenever necessary.
At this very moment.
The Incarnation looked back at the crowd, took a deep breath, and shouted in a deep voice:
“The action details have been explained by the various Silver Cup council groups, but I will repeat it one more time! First, upon encountering any personnel from the Red Apple Church, no need for words, just kill them directly, but do not slaughter surviving residents arbitrarily. Violators will be severely punished!”
His face remained impassive as he continued:
“Second, if you encounter combat power above the Mid Sequence from the Red Apple Church, don’t panic. The Silver Cup council members in each group will respond promptly. Even if they are temporarily held up, myself and three Golden Cup council members will step in to resolve the issue!”
The gloomy sky started to drizzle with light snow at that moment.
The gray robe on Chen Lun was lifted by the wind, rustling loudly, revealing the shining armor underneath.
“Third, team members should prioritize the group and follow the commands of the Silver Cup council members. Do not act rashly or leave the team on your own… If personal actions cause chaos and loss, I will personally settle accounts afterward!”
“Fourth…”
He went on to state eight rules in succession, his voice solemn and firm, colder than the biting wind itself!
“Yes, Governing Officer, sir!”

Shouts from tens of thousands echoed through the heavens.
Chen Lun raised his arm and called out.
“Action!!”
With a thunderous roar…
The crowd surged into the entrance of the main city, causing the ground to tremble beneath them.
They spread out like ink droplets in water, breaking into groups of dozens to fight separately. It wasn’t long before the bang of gunfire was heard, followed by the fierce clatter and shouting that came as they encountered Fallen Believers wandering among the buildings and streets.
Chen Lun, accompanied by three Golden Cup council members, flew over the cityscape, heading straight for the deep interior where the Red Apple Church was located. The plan was a decapitation strike, concentrating their strongest members to eliminate the opponent’s high-end combat power.
As they flew, he surveyed the battle situations below and nodded to himself in approval.
Although the players weren’t of high levels, groups of them armed with equipment produced by the Circus managed to hunt down those not-so-intelligent Fallen Believers quite effectively.
So far, there were virtually no casualties.
Unfortunately, some groups did encounter Transcendent priests from the Red Apple Church, but with the support of the council members, they quickly surrounded these monks, tackling them without much risk.
‘Connie’s flintlock rifles are really good. When loaded with Black Crystal Ammunition, even the typical Low Sequence Transcendents can get knocked down after a few shots,’ thought Chen Lun, the corner of his mouth curving up.
‘At a price of 60 Silver Ducats each, the rifles are extremely affordable for the players, who also know that they might not be able to buy them again after this large-scale mission event, so nearly everyone has one… but the ammunition isn’t cheap; a box of Black Crystal Bullets costs 5 Silver Ducats.’
