Quadruple split.

Chapter 2318 Lucy's Solution

What wall are you climbing?

Where to go?

Who are you fighting with?

The giant dragon slowly turned its head, staring at the man who was waving his staff to drive the flames and knock down the assassins who kept pouring onto the city walls with his eyes without blinking. His close friend had a calm expression and seemed a little confused by the latter's proposal.

According to Xiao Xiaobai, the contestant Christina was probably dissatisfied with her teammate's wording. She thought that with her overwhelming strength, there was no need to use the word "fight" in the battle between her and those weak mortals. "Bullying" might be more appropriate.

Lucy's next words directly proved this point. The de facto supreme ruler of Black Onyx City shook his head, sighed, and said seriously: "Don't underestimate your opponent, Nana. Even those mortals who you have always regarded as bugs and scum can still accomplish the feat of slaying the dragon when their numbers accumulate to a certain level."

The gentle voice was amplified and reached the ears of everyone nearby. As a result, no matter whether it was the assassins under King Wuye or the defenders of Black Onyx City, they all looked at the motionless dragon with fear in their eyes. But then, the defenders realized that they belonged to the same camp as the dragon and began to fight more bravely. Although they were still no match for the assassins who were able to suppress them after the decline of the opponent's strength, they swept away their previous dejection and continued to resist bravely.

“Hoo-! (I don’t want to be slaughtered!)”

Christina's eyes widened and she protested angrily.

"No, no matter how much you want to crush those low-level creatures in your eyes, you must focus on disrupting and protecting yourself in the next half hour."

Lucy's face immediately turned serious, and she sternly refused: "Remember, focus on interference and self-protection! I don't need you to kill many enemies. The most urgent task now is to disrupt them! Block the offensive!"

"Roar (Xiao Qian is a bully!)!"

Upon hearing this, the dragon let out an unwilling roar, but still took a deep breath, spread its wings that covered the sky, and after pushing away a large number of enemy troops around it, it gritted its teeth and rushed down the city wall, breaking away from the protection of [Black Onyx City]. At the same time, it lost its [Defender] status, and nearly one million extra health points disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, just because you are willing to fight for me, I will do my best to help you pass the Level 6 exam as you wish."

Lucia, who got what she wanted, smiled faintly, then dispelled the [Amplification Spell] and continued to walk around the east city wall like a leisurely stroll, driving the scorching magic full of explosive power to drive away the enemy. Although the sound and light effects were very gorgeous, in a war of this scale, if there were not several system cameras locked on the players of both sides during the live broadcast, its presence would probably be so thin that it is infinitely close to zero.

Thanks to the [King of No Night] who was far behind the enemy camp, the battle situation at this moment could no longer be described with the word "tragic". After the original exploratory offensive suddenly turned into the final battle without any warning, those assassins who knew they were doomed to die but still rushed forward like a tide were completely using their lives to clear the way for their comrades. With the cooperation of the spellcasters behind them, they kept repeating the cycle of attacking the city wall → being killed or shot down → attacking the city wall → being killed or shot down, like moths to a flame, without reservation and ready to die.

Someone died every second. This almost crazy attitude seemed to indicate that the perpetrator had only one goal, which was to consume all the troops in his hands on the walls of [Black Agate City] within three hours.

This is almost an impossible task. You must know that the capital that enables King Wuye to launch a siege is that the number of troops under his command is at least five times that of the defenders under the operation of the Violet Family. Putting aside the issue of whether or not they can break through the [Black Onyx City], which has been proven by history, it is impossible for a force of this size to be completely exhausted within three hours even if they fight randomly.

Moreover, in Lucy's opinion, Black Brahma would not attack randomly. The reason why she did not intend to study the tactics adopted by the opponent was that such behavior would not only fail to solve the problem, but would make the situation more passive.

The reason was very simple. Although she was described by Mo Tan as having "thin humanity", Lucia was better than most people in the excellent virtue of "self-knowledge". Because of this, she knew very well that no matter how knowledgeable and quick-thinking she was, she could not match the opposite side of Hei Fan on the tactical level. She also knew that in the special field of "war", when the levels of the commanders of both sides were not at the same level, the worse side would often be killed by the stronger side.

So, just as Mo Tan decided to conduct "macro-control" immediately after the start of the game and find out his level in this aspect in this game, Lucy also made up her mind after clarifying the background of the final and resolutely refused to interact with the opponent at any tactical level.

Of course, the so-called "non-interaction" does not mean that Mo Tan sends troops to attack the city walls while Lucy pretends nothing has happened and allows herself to be slaughtered. Instead, it means that she will resolutely not make any on-the-spot judgments based on the other party's behavior and will take extremely harsh preset responses.

To elaborate, if the opponent takes action A, I will definitely respond with solution α; if the opponent takes action B, I will definitely respond with solution β, and so on. No matter whether the enemy is Black Brahma or Black Monkey, I will fight the way I should fight, and resolutely not make any on-the-spot or impromptu judgments. Forget about intuition, even my own thoughts must be discarded, and I will completely transform myself into a calculator, giving specific answers under specific conditions.

There are two difficulties in this approach. One is that it looks simple, but is extremely difficult to put into practice. The other is that it must be both "fixed" and "individual".

The former is because if you want to use this method, you must have a huge "solution library". To put it simply, you must prepare enough "answers" to support the core logic of "non-interaction". Otherwise, when the other party takes actions A, B, and C in succession, and you only have two answers, α and β, in your hand, when facing action C, you can only choose between "doing nothing and waiting for death" and "finding a temporary solution".

Sitting still and waiting for death will surely lead to death, while thinking of temporary solutions means interaction, which will lead to being led by the nose, snowballing, and finding weaknesses when your strategic level is not as good as that of the opponent, and you will still not escape the fate of defeat in the end.

Then, after preparing enough 'answers', the second problem will come, which is that the so-called 'formula' must be abandoned.

This may seem contradictory at first glance, because as mentioned before, the basis of "non-interaction" is that the solution is fixed and inflexible, which happens to be the content that can be best represented by "formula", just like the solution of 1+1 must be 2.

But here we really can't use 2 to solve it.

The reason is very simple. If you use 2 to solve 1+1 in front of 'Black Brahma', you will die, and die miserably, because 1+1=2 is too easy to guess. In such a situation where it is so easy to guess, the more solutions you have, the faster you will die.

So what to do?

In order to save space, we will directly take out Lucy's solution here -

According to what was said before, if Heifan issued the A command with the content of '1+1', then Lucy would never be able to use the α command with the content of '2' to counter the move, but would instead use the ┌ command with the content of 'King' (1+1 viewed horizontally).

The instructions ┌, ┬, ┐, ├ are very Lucia-style solutions that can simultaneously meet the conditions of fixed, personalized, logical, and non-interactive. It is also one of the only optimal means to avoid being led away by the opponent when the strategic strength is weak.

Unfortunately, just by looking at it, you can tell that the threshold for this method is actually not much easier than learning to become a tactician who can compete with the "Black Brahma Priest". It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire scope of the Innocence Realm, even if NPCs and players are counted, there are definitely no more than ten people who can use this trick, and Lucy happens to be one of them. Not only that, the cost-effectiveness of this trick is actually very low, because the objective condition is "lack of hard power", so the first thing that can be determined is that this trick cannot win. In other words, although it can delay time a little and will not be beaten by the opponent, it cannot fundamentally change the outcome of being defeated by the opponent head-on.

Fortunately, Lucy did not need to consider the follow-up issues, because she was sure that with the passage of time, the situation would improve, forcing the [Haunted Church] to become the weaker party in an objective sense.

and so--

“Whether the result is a win or a loss, the process is easy enough.”

Lucy said this casually, and then, through the Bloodseeker's ability [Bloodseeker Emblem], she began to issue orders to the [Blood Servants] limited to the competition, that is, the former elite scouts whose abilities had been greatly improved by the ancestor in Black Onyx City. Then she said to Kasena, who was already covered in blood not far away: "Brother, I just prepared some people, how about taking them to the quarry in the west?"

"Sure, you want me to take some people and take that damn place back, right?"

The tall and heroic Berserker caught a soldier who had just rushed to the top of the city wall, threw him down, and then turned to Lucy and grinned: "When, now?"

The latter nodded slightly, raised his staff and tapped the bricks and stones under his feet, directly summoning three rounds of blood-red flames that swirled and spread outward, instantly killing more than a dozen warriors under King Wuye. He said in a calm tone: "That's right, go now. We can't afford the cost of letting the quarry fall. Not only will we lose hundreds of thousands of city defense points, but the materials used by the casters to repair and reinforce the city walls will also be used up in a short time. Although it can still be repaired, the consumption will be very high."

"understood."

Kasena carried the two-handed warhammer [Overlord's Roar], which was completely soaked in blood, on his shoulders, then slapped his forehead and asked, "What about the moat being cut off? Who should go?"

"It's still you, big brother."

Lucia calmly answered, waving several sparks to evaporate all the stains on Kasena's body, and said: "In this situation, even if there is a moat, it will not be able to stop the opponent's attack, so this is not a top priority. If you can successfully take over the quarry, just go upstream."

Seeing Lucy start to instruct her, Kasena nodded immediately and said, "Got it. Anything else?"

"If you encounter Winter and the enemy's elite troops, you can lead your men to fight them. If the situation is not good, cross the Samler River and come back. Anyway, the river has been cut off there, and the current is too slow."

Lucy said quickly while drawing answers from her own 'solutions': "But be careful, if you see Gu Xiaole, don't hesitate, retreat immediately. There is no health bonus from the city defense value outside, so it is too dangerous for you to face her alone. But if you rely on your skills and talents to hold on, you should be able to survive being killed instantly, right?"

"no problem."

Kasena patted his chest confidently and said seriously: "Even if I can't win, I can run back."

"That's fine. After all, before the city is breached, as long as we are still in [Black Onyx City], we are basically immortal. So even if you are not here, Mimi and I will be fine."

Lucy said this without any surprise, and then cast a few buff spells on the other party and asked, "Is there anything else you need to know? I have already gathered the people, and you have at most two minutes to waste."

"Have."

Kasena didn't hesitate and asked immediately, "Hasn't Nana left the Black Onyx City? Are you sure nothing will happen to her after she loses the Defender?"

"Probably. After all, she was killed in a fatal blow. The quarry and the Samler River were also taken by the enemy. There are basically no enemies that can directly threaten Nana now. Even if there is a highly targeted attack, she will not even have a chance to escape."

Lucy shook her head and reminded, "Compared to the risk you are going to take, Nana is much safer."

"Understood. Wait for my good news."

Cassena laughed, then turned and walked to the inside of the city wall. Without looking back, he left these words and jumped back into the Black Onyx City. Led by two Bloodseeker scouts, he walked towards the military camp at high speed.

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stay on the east wall, guarding the wall obediently until the situation reached the next stage where she needed to provide a 'solution' herself.

The catapults were useless after the enemy brought the war to the top of the city, but the city defense value was declining faster and faster, which was enough to show that even in the world of swords and magic, it was difficult to complete the project without sufficient resources.

So regardless of the Samler River being blocked by the dam, the quarry located west of Black Onyx City must be obtained.

Kasena and several scout teams that were personally covered in blood by the "ancestor" are the best candidates to carry out this mission.

Then--
