Arad's Sword

Chapter 318 Cheaters

If the fourth temple launches a fierce attack regardless, even if it is finally wiped out, the sixth temple that attacks at the same time is still very likely to capture Midi's soul crystal pool.

It's just that the two sides are not allies after all, they just attack tacitly.

Unable to withstand the onslaught from the back, the Fourth Temple had no choice but to retreat.

Midi, who returned to the central city, immediately began to guard against it. The Sixth Temple could not be attacked for a long time. He was afraid that his lair would be attacked by neighboring opponents, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

At this point, the first large-scale melee was finally over.

The fourth temple and the sixth temple returned without success.

The second temple was destroyed, but no one occupied the soul crystal pool, becoming a negative force of freedom.

Although Midi seized the mind crystal pool of the First Temple, the main city was bombarded by the three forces, various facilities were seriously damaged, the number of troops was severely reduced, and the vitality was also seriously injured, so he had to choose to defend.

All of a sudden, everyone learned a lesson, and no longer launched a fierce attack when they came up, but mainly tried to test each other.

Under this kind of temptation, the identities of the testers of the major temples gradually became clear.

The first temple and the second temple have been eliminated, and the status does not matter.

The third temple tester, Avril Lavigne, has a style of assassination.

The fourth temple tester, Shandur, is powerful and extremely aggressive.

The fifth temple tester, Reinhardt, is also a superb commander, but this prince is obviously not very suitable for the mind flayer's army style.

The sixth temple tester, Xie Li, Shandur's junior sister.

The trainee of the Seventh Temple, "Nightmare Hand" Wiseman, has a very distinctive style of undead becoming a sea, so there is no need to doubt it.

The eighth temple tester, Rotor, played steadily and steadily as always.

The clarification of identities has gradually formed a vertical and horizontal relationship with each other.Although the interference of the trial rules made it impossible to form an alliance in the true sense, the major camps have shown a very obvious tendency in the selection of attack targets.

It stands to reason that Midi's side should have the upper hand, because out of the remaining seven temples, four of them belong to their side.

But in the next month or so of mutual testing and melee, this advantage was not shown.

Needless to say, "Nightmare Hand" Wiseman can become a mind flayer. To explore the mysteries of the mind flayer society, this crazy scholar has no time to study. Experiments - of course including necromancy experiments.And if there is a lack of resources, manpower, etc., he will go directly to Rotor of the Eighth Temple to plunder.

Poor patrol captain, he was completely suppressed by Wiseman. Once he uses psychic power, he will be confronted by the army of undead, and once he joins the army of servants, he will be suppressed by Wiseman's stronger psychic power .

To make matters worse, the Eighth Temple is located in the corner, and Rott has no room to retreat at all. To go out, he must face Wiseman's Seventh Temple.As a result, Rott's only choice was to shrink his troops and guard against them. All the space and resources that originally belonged to the Eighth Temple were seized by Wiseman for "research".

However, this situation was also expected by Midi. At the beginning, he didn't expect Wiseman to cooperate well.

But the problem is Avril from the third temple and Reinhardt from the fifth temple.

When Midi resisted the joint attack of the three families, Avril secretly went deep into the second temple, stole the soul crystal pool, and became a strong man with two settlements in one fell swoop.

And Reinhardt is the real commander in this trial, second only to Midi.

Logically speaking, these two people should be able to take the lead in the trial.

But the fact is that they were suppressed and beaten by the coalition forces of the Fourth Temple and the Sixth Temple, Marcel's two proud disciples, brothers and sisters Sandur and Xie Li!
The three, four, five, and six temples are like a pair of sharp canine teeth, biting each other, bursting out fierce collision sparks from time to time, but every time, Avril and Reinhardt are the ones who lose the wind.

Even Midi's intervention could not reverse this situation.

After several confrontations, Midi finally discovered an extremely shocking fact—Sandur and Shelly actually formed a "coalition".

It is not the kind of "temporary cooperation" formed by tacit understanding under the restrictions of the trial rules, but the real integration of the two armies, the integration of the two command systems, and even the separation of the hearts of the two settlements. The spiritual networks established by the demons are all connected together.

Simply put, this is an army.

The commander of this army is the aggressive Shandur, and the deputy is the cautious Shelley. Although they are not real commanders, the huge force and unimpeded transmission of orders have made them gain Huge advantage.

After all, what Reinhardt and Avril Lavigne can achieve is only the level of cooperation of "not attacking each other".

And Midi's vitality has not yet recovered, and the few times he participated in the battle were also harassed by a small group of troops.

Between the three of them, the troops should not be allowed to touch each other, otherwise the troops under their command would fight by themselves.

One side is an intimate two-in-one cooperation, and the other side is a temporary alliance made up of each other. It is self-evident which side can gain the upper hand.

At this point, Midi can be sure that these two proud students of "Judger" Marcel must have some cheating tricks, and it is more likely that this cheating trick seems to be provided by Marcel, so they can overcome The rules of the trial form a unified alliance.

However, Midi didn't feel angry because of this. After all, the bloody purification has taken root in this star ocean for thousands of years, and there is naturally a deep research on the maze of the mind. Being able to think of ways to cheat is a skill in itself.

In this world, there is no real fairness in the first place, let alone this kind of competition that requires unscrupulous means.

After confirming this point, the only conclusion that Midi can infer is that Avril and Reinhardt will eventually be out, because the forces of the four temples are intertwined, and they cannot stay out of the matter like a bystander like Midi. Tired of dealing with the continuous attacks from the Sandur brothers and sisters, in the end, the battle line is bound to collapse.

And just as Midi expected, at halfway through the third month, Reinhardt's Fifth Temple was finally conquered.

"Hmph, with the double spiritual rings given by the teacher, Xie Li and I are like one person in this trial. Our hearts can communicate, and who can resist it?" Sandur let out a smug laugh as the mind flayer's corpse stepped under his feet.

In fact, not only the dual rings of the mind, as a tester who also experienced the test of the maze of the mind, Marcel also consciously imparted a lot of command knowledge to the brothers and sisters in the past few years, even at the expense of Resources, let them carry out exercises and actual combats one after another, all for this trial.

Therefore, even when facing the brilliant commander Reinhardt, the Sandur brothers and sisters would not reveal any flaws, and the rest would be crushed by close cooperation and superior forces.

And after the third day of Reinhardt's collapse, Avril Lavigne followed suit.

Even if Avril has two settlements, after all, she is just an assassin, and she is not good at coordinating the overall situation from the position of leader.

Of course, Midi didn't do nothing during this time, on the contrary, he chose to attack crazily.

This kind of attack caused heavy losses to the Sandur brothers and sisters, but it still failed to prevent Reinhardt and Avril from being eliminated.

At the end of the third month, the battle situation finally changed fundamentally.

All the "not strong enough" were eliminated, and there were only three major forces left in total.

Midi, based on the central temple, radiates the first and second temples.Among them, the second temple was taken back by Midi when Avril Lavigne was out.

Wiseman, aware of the changes in the situation on the main battlefield, eliminated Root, took the Seventh Temple as his base, and controlled the Eighth Temple at the same time, as if he was the master of the corner.

Shandur and Xie Li, this pair of brothers and sisters occupy the third to sixth four temples, it can be said that they control half of the entire Trial Land, and, because there are two of them, they can take turns ruling, making the four The settlement continues to develop, unlike Midi and Wiseman, who need a rest period.

The fourth month came quietly.

The three major forces have reached the peak of development, and the surrounding atmosphere is tense, and it is obviously time to enter the final decisive battle.

So, who to attack?

In everyone's mind, such a question popped up.

From a common sense, it is the most reasonable choice to join Wiseman and attack the Sandur brothers and sisters.But Midi knew that if he really did this, his side would probably repeat the tragedy of Reinhardt and Avril.

If the two forces, unable to communicate or even hostile to each other, are forced to unite, they may not be able to exert their true strength due to mutual scruples.

As long as cutting tactics are used on the battlefield, the final result will still be broken one by one.

Even if Midi's central temple has the most elite troops, it will be difficult to reverse this strategic disadvantage.

Besides, Wiseman is not a commander, but a crazy scholar. Once some unbelievable tactics are used on the battlefield, Midi may be dragged into the water instead.

So, should we ignore Wiseman and directly attack the Sandur brothers and sisters?
Midi silently calculated in her heart.

If he did this, he estimated that he had more than [-]% chance of winning. After all, as a genius commander with an elite army from the central temple, it would not be that difficult to defeat the opponent's four temples.

It's just that the opponent may not only have this hole card.

Since they were able to deceive the trial once, they might be able to deceive the second time. If Sandur used some special cheating method at a critical moment, it would be difficult for Midi to see through and resolve it immediately.

Since the top mind catcher is determined to win, Midi must adopt a method with a higher chance of winning to prepare for the final battle.

"It seems that the best way is to deal with Wiseman first!" Midi murmured to herself in a low voice, and a light of wisdom flashed in her star-black eyes.

　It’s the beginning of the month, please ask for a monthly pass, if you add more, ahem... I will add more next Monday!
