Chapter 729 - 219: The Battle’s End
Although Earth Thought Evil Spirit is strong, it can only defend the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area and doesn’t have the ability to interfere with the containment of primordial sources in other nodes.
Currently, the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area also has the most significant shortage of Primordial Monsters.
The Earth Thought Bully’s method of killing the primordial is sure to be effective, but it’s not considerable and won’t affect the players’ growth.
The final struggle continues.
The defense line of the Player Corps is about to be breached, and the number of damage-taking stream players is continuously decreasing.
Although support stream players can release Light Shields for defense, they can only defend for a while and are far less important than damage-taking stream players.
At this time, the Star Network adjusted the warfare model to target more Black Tide Soldiers and Insect Warriors.
To maximize the benefits of war.
Among the participants in this battle, the most delighted are undoubtedly the newbie players.
They die batch after batch, and after their resurrection cooldown ends, they will re-enter the battlefield to share in the kill rewards.
This profit is much higher than hunting in other spatial nodes.
The cycle resurrection tactics of newbie players act as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
They attempt to disrupt the combat rhythm of the Black Tide and Insect Tide through collective charges and probe the intentions of these two forces; its combat value is limited, mainly valuable for strategy.
But it is not entirely without combat value.
The abilities released by newbie players are still rule characteristic abilities, and they can cause defense break damage to specific targets.
In the course of the war, the cannon fodder newbies can be described as shit-stirrers on the battlefield.
If unrestricted, newbie players will dare to charge in all directions towards the rear of the Black Tide and Insect Tide, causing endless disruption.
Choosing targeted slaughter would restrain part of the combat power.
This tactic, in the eyes of Earth Thought Evil Spirit and even the Insect Race Mainbrain, only the Player Clan would dare to play like this.
For other forces to rely on cannon fodder combat, the result would be the opposite.
Cannon fodder, this type of digestible nourishment, the cost of constant charging is that they grow stronger the more they fight.
The more of them there are, the more they eat, a continuous delivery of nourishment can be said.
But the Player Clan is different.
Even killing and devouring yield not a tiny bit of energy.
The most excited throughout the entire scene are the newbie players with only two basic instructions given to them.
Gather at the coordinates indicated by the barrage prompts, then scream and make a fearless charge towards another set of coordinates.
Truly having experienced a war thrill only found in the Glory Chronicles.
This experience also exposed many newbie players to the horror of the Newbie Village.
Jokes often pop up on the forums among players, saying: If you’re genuinely badass, go venture in the Newbie Village.
As these types of players have said, the Newbie Village has already become the highest hall of honor in the eyes of the player community.
It’s a peak battlefield that only the top-notch group in the Player Corps is qualified to venture to.
But eventually, the fun comes to an end.
In the three-way melee, the number of player deaths gradually made forming a battle formation impossible.
The frontline formed by damage-bearing stream players was ripped apart by the Black Tide, followed by Plague Series Soldiers and Catastrophe Series Soldiers breaking into the second line.
On the other side, the Insect Race army also tore the left flank line.
With the war reaching this stage, the Star Network continued to command, requesting the remaining players to continually retreat, extending the battle line to allow Black Tide and Insect Tide to intersect.
Gaining more space and benefits through their duel.
...
hours later.
The players on the battlefield were completely swept up, and the players who resurrected and walked out of Imperial Tomb Village saw the war had ended and didn’t rush to the main frontline.
Charging at this time is no different from seeking death.
Some players chose to watch the ongoing engagement between Earth Thought Bully and Insect Race Mainbrain from afar, while others went to other spatial nodes, hoping to grow quickly through hunting and look forward to qualifying for a venture in the Newbie Village in the future.
During this period, a large number of players flocked to the forums to discuss topics related to this battle.
The reappearance of the first Tourist displayed consistent brilliance.
Along with it came the curiosity, just who is this number 1 Tourist?
At this moment, atop the Evil Eye Tower in the Heavenly Abyss Domain Node, Earth Thought Evil Spirit was pondering the same question.
After clearing out all players, it still didn’t find the hidden Mysterious Commander.
"Earth Thought, maybe there’s a possibility that the Mysterious Commander of the Player Clan operates similarly to us, connecting with the Player Clan through spiritual perception and hasn’t appeared in this campaign, remotely commanding the course of the war."
Having said this, Evil Eye made a brief pause, then continued:
"But this guess may not be correct. I have reviewed the battle records and found that the Mysterious Commander actually had vision blind spots in the war, which doesn’t resemble a situation caused by perceptual coverage, leaving me unable to analyze a reasonable explanation."
Hearing this, an idea immediately surfaced in Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s mind.
"Retrieve the battle records."
Upon hearing, Evil Eye immediately input the battle record images into Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s mind.
Perusing the battlefield image information filled with various numerical symbols, Earth Thought Evil Spirit gradually confirmed its hypothesis.
It discovered that every time there were player casualties, the vision blind spot mentioned by Evil Eye would appear.
This then proves that the Mysterious Commander of the Player Clan is piecing together the battlefield picture through the vision of participating players.
"Earth Thought, this might be a flaw that can be exploited in future encounters."
Earth Thought Evil Spirit, upon hearing this, nodded with a smile.
The Mysterious Commander may be formidable, but ultimately, it still managed to find some flaws.
However, the specific answer needs a detailed verification during the next encounter.
Now that the Player Clan has exited, there’s no longer a need to continue the war.
Next, external expansion and resource acquisition become the key.
In an instant, the perception image shows the Black Tide rolling back, choosing to voluntarily retreat from the battlefield.
Countless Evil Spirit Soldiers at this time decompose, retreating along with the Black Tide.
The Insect Warriors, under the control of the mainbrain, immediately launched a pursuit, but after chasing for a certain distance, they also chose to give up, turning into a blood-colored tide returning to the Phantom Swamp area.
The battle in the Newbie Village officially concluded.
In this battle, undoubtedly, the Black Tide controlled by Earth Thought Evil Spirit was the strongest side.
Yet it was also the side with the greatest losses.
The players died without loss, and the Insect Race had rear support supplies; only Earth Thought Evil Spirit was fighting with its hard-earned resources, and a lot was also plucked by players.
With the war ending, Earth Thought Evil Spirit turned its gaze towards the Divine King being bound beside it.
With a wave, the black mist entwining the Divine King dissipated.
Suddenly landing and standing firm, the Divine King raised his right middle finger towards Earth Thought Evil Spirit:
"Grandson, give your grandpa a quick end."
Earth Thought Evil Spirit, hearing this, cracked a sinister smile:
"Quick end?"
"What do you mean, do you plan to torture me further?" The Divine King was also stunned.
"I’m not interested in torturing you; I’m very curious about what your Player Clan’s method of resurrection truly is, but it’s apparent that I can’t know this answer, so what I’m more curious about is, if I imprison you by my side, what method would you use to leave?"
Upon hearing this, the complexion of the Divine King sharply changed.
"Rest assured, during this time, I will maintain your body’s functions and monitor your every move to prevent you from leaving through suicidal means... If you really can’t find a way to leave, prepare to stay here for the rest of your life."
"You mother...."
"Hahaha." Seeing the Divine King’s anger, Earth Thought Evil Spirit couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
