Chapter 726 - 218: Counteracting Fraud (Monthly Ticket Bonus)
While commanding the battle, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was also observing the expression changes of the Player Clan’s commander in the open.
But having learned from past experiences, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit did not choose to directly capture the Player Clan’s commander in the open.
Element Perception, environment observation, expression observation... even whether there was a gaze directed at the Player Clan’s open commander was important information in perceptual observation.
The players have mastered a teleportation ability.
Last time it attempted to capture, it was dealt a severe blow.
This time, it learned its lesson and began to investigate the possibility of swapping positions.
Through multiple encounters, it discovered an obvious flaw in this teleportation ability.
It must involve a rule swap with a target through direct eye contact, which is also why both the front-line Player Clan units and Insect Race units need to turn around when swapping places.
Theoretically, there is a possibility that a member of the Player Clan is secretly protecting the open commander of the Player Clan.
As soon as he activates the Void Instant Flash, it will trigger a trap, where the open commander and a Player Clan member carrying explosive weapons swap places, ultimately sent by the Void Instant Flash to the Evil Eye Tower.
Therefore, all potential factors must be eliminated, including the wandering direction of the Player Clan’s open commander’s gaze.
After repeated verification by the Evil Eye, confirming there were no issues, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit took action.
It decided to first capture the open commander of the Player Clan.
This commander possesses a battlefield control ability similar to that of a Lord, making it a very troublesome combat unit.
Decapitating it also meets the needs of war.
Without much hesitation, while frequently commanding the war, the Black Fog beside the Earth Thought Evil Spirit gathered to generate a Void Instant Flash.
In an instant, the Void Instant Flash disappeared and positioned the Divine King behind it.
This was to reduce the Divine King’s reaction time.
The tendrils of the Void Instant Flash extended forward, landing on the shoulder of the Divine King, who was shocked and wanted to release Star Shifting but was too late.
In fact, he had always been guarding against the decapitation action of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.
But the Earth Thought Evil Spirit never took such action.
It even made him feel like the Earth Thought Evil Spirit probably had no designs on him.
Most importantly, the arrival of the Void Instant Flash was hard to defend against.
Originally he had devised a way to deal with it.
That is, to have a player with the Star Shifting Soul by his side, always guarding him, waiting for the arrival of the Void Instant Flash, and then activate Star Shifting to swap positions with him.
But this time, the command was handed over to No. 1 Traveler, and no deployment was made in this regard.
With a sensation of weightlessness coming over him, the Divine King reappeared on the tower platform.
Seeing the Earth Thought Evil Spirit with a grim smile, a look of having eaten shit appeared on the Divine King’s face.
"Is it necessary? You know I am not the commander of this war."
"It is very necessary, you have a tiny bit of value in my eyes."
Upon hearing this, the Divine King decisively raised his middle finger.
Fortunately, his death will not affect the course of the war.
The command perspective of No. 1 Traveler is pieced together from the live feeds of all the players, death is no big deal.
But just when he thought the Earth Thought Evil Spirit would strike to kill him, he saw the black fog surrounding the tower platform turn into tendrils, binding him and fixing him in the air.
"What does this mean?"
"It means nothing, just want you to see how I win."
"Are you stupid...?" The Divine King hadn’t finished cursing, when a tendril from the Evil Eye interfaced with his body, causing his body to shudder violently, as the battlefield scene appeared in his mind.
The war continued.
But throughout this process, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was constantly observing the expressions of the Divine King.
It was certain that this open commander was very familiar with the player’s groupings and even the player’s abilities.
The information database already established a simulated data image of this Player Clan commander.
Every glance, facial expression, change in facial expression, and even emotional fluctuations are used by the Evil Eye to simulate several conjectures.
Catching him but not killing him was naturally not for a quirky pleasure.
It was to have him present to provide real-time feedback of intelligence information.
As proved by facts, this step was very effective.
In the subsequent battle, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit adjusted the expansion and contraction of the battlefield perceptual scenes, continually focusing on local skirmishes.
The captured Player Clan commander indeed showed obvious emotional fluctuations and changes in expression.
Repeatedly predicting the mysterious commander’s decisions through expression capture, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
At this point, the Divine King had already realized something was amiss.
He also discovered where the problem lay.
It seemed that the Earth Thought Bully was observing his subtle expressions and emotional fluctuations, and then judging the tactical deployment of the Player Clan, even foreseeing the instructions of No. 1 Traveler.
Recalling that No. 1 Traveler once said that the Earth Thought Evil Spirit should have established his data image in its database.
All his expressions, movements, and emotions would become reference indicators for the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s next actions.
At this point, all he could do was curse angrily.
Even if he closed his eyes, the perceptual scenes of the battlefield would still appear in his mind and he couldn’t shut them off completely.
More importantly, he couldn’t control the subtle changes in his expressions or even the changes in his emotions.
Just like watching a horror movie, even if knowing the content is fake, fear and emotional changes are unavoidable and undefendable.
At this moment on the battlefield.
With the advantage expanding continuously, the Black Tide Demonic Spirits had already breached the defenses of the player’s right-wing battle-line, and the Frenzy Assassin Series units were about to cut into the player’s third line.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Divine King anxiously sought help from No. 1 Traveler.
"No. 1, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit is judging the course of the war through me, what should I do?"
Just as he posed the question, a golden barrage flashed across his mind:
"Don’t worry, the calculations of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit are within my expectations, victory is assured."
As soon as the barrage passed, a sense of joy he couldn’t suppress arose in the Divine King’s heart.
The Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s expression suddenly froze, and in an instant, it manipulated the assassin system units aimed at the magic players to retreat rapidly.
But just as the assassin system units retreated, the Player Clan’s damage-taking units quickly plugged the breach in the battle-line that had been hard to open.
Realizing something was amiss, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit suddenly turned to look at the Divine King.
He realized he had been deceived by the joy that surged in this guy’s heart.
The mysterious commander of the Player Clan obviously knew that he was judging the trend of the situation through this open commander’s emotions and subtle expressions.
So the other party also used this point, influencing his judgment by manipulating the emotions of the open commander of the Player Clan in reverse.
The originally favorable opportunity to penetrate deep behind enemy lines was wasted by his voluntary withdrawal.
Seeing the smile on the Divine King’s face, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s countenance turned icy.
"Oh dear, you saw through it all, brilliant." The Divine King, not afraid of making things worse, grinned.
Upon hearing these words, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was instantly enraged:
"You son of a *****."
