I ruined Tyra.

After the Patriot estimated that the time was almost up, he activated the voice message he had recorded in advance.

"Players, welcome to the Two Armies Competition Trial Field."

Hearing the Patriot's voice, everyone at Black Steel International put away the innocence and nervousness on their faces and listened carefully to the other party's voice.

“The trial venue is chosen by the players, and the available venues include open space, mountains, rainforests, deserts and other terrains.

You can choose the difficulty of this trial, which is normal and difficult. In normal difficulty, you will fight against AI-generated human machines, and in difficult difficulty, you will fight against real patriots.

Note: Different difficulties will provide different rewards.

There are two modes to choose from in this trial, courage and wisdom.

After choosing courage, you will face the attack from the Patriots. Please use the Arknights operators to survive the attack from the Patriots for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, if there are still players surviving on the field, it means victory.

After choosing wisdom, you will have a battlefield game with the Patriots. The Patriots will send a corresponding number of troops depending on the difficulty of the challenge and will not personally participate. Please survive for 10 minutes in the coordinated offensive of the elite troops. After 10 minutes, if there are still players surviving in the field, you will win.

Note that victory will be achieved if the Patriots are defeated within five minutes or all Patriot forces are wiped out.

Now, players have one minute to discuss and one minute to choose, please prepare for the trial."

After hearing the Patriot's voice reminder, the Black Steel Squad began to discuss.

"Razer, what do you think? Should we choose difficulty or normal? Courage or wisdom? Or should we choose the street we are familiar with as the venue?"

Franka asked with some concern. They were the first team to come in and were unfamiliar with everything in the trial field.

I have no idea how big the difference in difficulty is between the two, nor do I know what the deployment effects will be in different venues, not to mention what types of troops there are and how many people there are in the Trial of Wisdom.

"You are the captain, okay? I personally think you should choose Courage. For the mode, it is better to choose Normal for stability. For the venue, choose Street, which we should be more familiar with. If you choose other venues, I am worried that I will not be able to influence Mr. Patriot, who has extremely rich combat experience.

I believe that a mere AI cannot match our rich experience in street fighting."

Razer first complained about Franka, the unreliable captain, and asked her for reference again, and then carefully analyzed the advantages they could gain from their choices.

After obtaining the team's consent, the Black Steel Team started their trial as planned.

After seeing their choice, the Patriot was a little disappointed, but respected their choice. He stood on the high platform, looking at the trial field below, ready to watch the battle.

The entire trial field began to change, and soon, a complex street with the characteristics of a city appeared in front of them, and a generated patriot AI stood at one end of the street waiting.

The platform where the Black Steel Team was located began to descend until it was level with the ground of the trial field, and then a countdown appeared in their game field of vision.

As the countdown ended, all members of the Black Steel Team, except Almond who turned into a Shining, fought in their original form. They had to test the AI's mechanism and values ​​first, and then designate targeted combat strategies. Fighting in their original form was the most comfortable way.

After Captain Franka chose a direction on the side, Razer held up a shield and led the way in front, Jessica and Almond walked in the middle of the team, and Franka was the rear guard.

Vanilla left the team and explored in another direction. As a pioneer, she was responsible for exploring the map and prioritizing the search for the AI's attack direction.

After moving forward quietly for a while, Razer signaled the team to remain on guard, while she lay on the ground and listened to the noise for a while. Then she shook her head regretfully, as she had heard nothing just now.

Franka understood and called Vanilla through the team channel.

"Vanilla, this is Franka. I haven't detected any movement from the Patriots here. Please be careful."

"Got it, Vanilla replied. I didn't detect any movement from the Patriots here. I'm requesting to continue exploring."

"Agreed to explore. The team will temporarily stay on alert at this location. I look forward to hearing good news from you."

Vanilla was just about to reply with a "received" when the sudden sense of crisis made her subconsciously take a few steps back. A halberd appeared at the place where she had just hidden, creating a big hole.

A drop of cold sweat slid down her forehead. Did the conversation just now accidentally expose her location?

This place was no longer safe, so Vanilla immediately moved and requested support.

"Help, help, the Patriot is on my side, and I can't identify his position! It seems that he can switch between the first and second states freely."

"Received. The team will come to support immediately. Please keep in touch."

When Vanilla was attacked, the team had already set out to rush towards Vanilla's direction. The division of troops was only for reconnaissance, but there was no plan to fight now. It would be best to delay it for a while longer.

Soon, they heard the sounds of halberds being thrown and destroyed from time to time in the team channel, and even heard Vanilla disregarding her concealment and starting to run quickly, which meant that the opponent was in danger and seemed to have a way to quickly lock on to their position.

Razer was a little suspicious that the position was provided by the patriot who was supervising the battle on the high platform, and subconsciously looked up.

As if sensing Razer's confusion, Patriot shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not provide any help to the AI.

The Patriot's credibility was still very high, and she immediately dispelled Razer's suspicion. She began to concentrate on identifying Vanilla's location and tried to find the AI ​​hiding in the dark.

Fortunately, the venue was not too big, and they quickly reunited with Vanilla. After hiding in a place where they could observe the surrounding environment, the anxious Franka hurriedly asked about the location of the AI, but Vanilla just shook her head, indicating that she was not sure at all.

Razer hurriedly asked where those halberds came from.

After thinking about it seriously, Vanilla said that those halberds were attacks from top to bottom, very similar to the way the patriot threw the halberds in a destructive posture and hit the platform in the tower defense mode.

Razer understood and began to analyze the situation based on the existing information.

The opponent can quickly lock their position, and each time the halberd strikes from top to bottom. The only thing that can do this is... a high platform!

Thinking of this, Razer suddenly realized and quickly looked up to observe the situation on the nearby platform.

Then her eyes were bloodshot because she saw that the other party was standing on a high platform and had already thrown the halberd in his hand.

The goal of the halberd is...

Jessica?!

Razer, who analyzed the opponent's attack target based on the trajectory, quickly pushed away Jessica, who was still holding a small pistol and alert to the surrounding environment, and then fell to the side. The other members also dodged.

The halberd quickly smashed through Jessica's original position, leaving a terrifying deep pit.

Seeing this, Razer felt a sense of fear. They were standing quite close together just now. If they were hit head-on by the halberd, their team would probably lose more than one teammate in advance.

When the AI ​​saw that it had failed again and its position was exposed, it chose to jump down from the platform. It was already extremely heavy, and when it landed, it raised a cloud of dust.

The AI ​​waved its hand lightly, and the halberd that had just pierced the ground just shook a few times, then pierced through the dust and returned to its hand.

But it was no longer there, but was heading straight towards the Black Steel Squad using the cover of smoke and dust.

Faced with the fierce opponent, the Black Steel Team no longer cared about the convenience of the main body combat. At this moment, the stronger the value, the better.

After a flash of white light, Hei used Xingxiong's cover to set up a crossbow, Skadi picked up the greatsword to meet the attack head-on, and Fengpi raised a city-breaking spear to cover Skadi.

The next moment, close combat began.

The AI ​​wielded its halberd and continued to fight against Franka's greatsword, occasionally using its shield or halberd to block a spear that came at it, and then taking advantage of a flaw when it didn't have time to retract the spear.

AI let go of the shield and grabbed the spear just like he grabbed mon3try in the plot. He exerted force with one hand and pulled it hard, pulling Vanilla over before she could let go.

The hand holding the spear loosened again, and this time it grabbed the opponent's throat.

Franka tried to save people in a hurry, but she was too anxious and panicked, and the AI ​​seized the opportunity and knocked her away.

Vanilla, who was lifted up from her original position, tried desperately to grab the other person's hand that was pinching her throat and wanted to let go, but the arm armor on it made her powerless.

Just when Vanilla's life was hanging by a thread, several consecutive armor-piercing crossbow arrows with a dangerous aura shot straight at the AI's eyes.

The opponent's timing of firing was very good, and the continuous firing of crossbow arrows at different positions also blocked all the positions where the AI ​​could dodge.

The AI ​​determined that no matter how he dodged, he would be injured by one of the shots, but he had an excellent shield at hand.

The AI ​​grabbed Vanilla's hand and lifted it forward, and the flesh shield perfectly blocked all the opponent's attacks, but it also blocked part of his vision.

A faint white light suddenly appeared on Vanilla's body, successfully blocking those fatal crossbow arrows for the opponent.

In the team channel, Xingren's cheering voice came: "Fortunately it was blocked! Captain, save him quickly!"

The AI ​​did not hear the sound of the crossbow arrow piercing the human body, but instead heard a few strange tinkling sounds, followed by the sound of the crossbow arrow falling to the ground.

Confused, he was about to take away his physical shield to observe the situation, but he saw a triangular shield spinning at high speed coming diagonally from a gap on one side, and at the same time a greatsword slashing from bottom to top.

Clearly judging that he could not block both attacks at the same time, the AI ​​did not panic. Instead, he exerted force with his left hand and broke the opponent's neck.

Suddenly, a white light gathered around the Patriot who was watching the game, and the terrified Vanilla appeared beside him, covering her throat.

After successfully killing one person, the AI ​​smashed the body in its left hand directly at the high-speed rotating shield, and swung the halberd in its right hand to block the big sword.

Sure enough, the shield hesitated for a moment and then stopped its rotating attack, gently catching the body that was falling towards it.

A sad atmosphere spread among the team. Jessica couldn't help crying, and even the cheerful Almond fell silent.

By the time Thor wanted to rotate Prajna again, it was too late. After the AI ​​repelled the greatsword attack again, it picked up its shield again.

The Patriot standing on the high platform shook his head. There was no need to watch any more. The Film sniper operator and the medical operator had too little combat experience. When their side lost one man first, they panicked and failed to provide the necessary support.

Even the Vaifan vanguard did not have much combat experience, otherwise he would not have held on to his weapon so tightly that he was caught, leading to a series of defeats.

One minute later, the Black Steel Squad was completely wiped out.

Razer and Franka, who fell last, appeared beside the other three with unwilling looks on their faces.

After giving them some pointers based on their performance on the battlefield, the Patriot sent them away in the form of white light.

Because there was little warm-up, the Patriots did not rest, but instead started the challenge of the next team.

This team is very interesting, it is called Deep Sea Hunters.

Sure enough, the familiar Skadi and Ghost Shark appeared on the platform at the other end, followed by two Agor men with the same white hair.

After getting familiar with the rules, they chose the difficulty mode, courage, and surface combat venue.

The patriot naturally wanted it more than ever. He picked up his shield and halberd and jumped down from the platform, splashing a large amount of water on the water.

The water sprayed down, and the patriots were already in a marching posture.

He raised the halberd in his hand and pointed at the four deep-sea hunters.

"Deep Sea Hunter, I will, march!"

As for the Deep Sea Hunter Team, there was no wasting time, and Ulpian and Gloria transformed directly.

As the two white lights faded away, three Skadi operators and one Ghost Shark operator grabbed their deadly weapons and rode the waves towards the Patriot.

(I suddenly ran out of inspiration. I wrote the battle scene many times but was never satisfied and deleted it.

I've been writing until the deadline and still haven't finished writing something I'm satisfied with, so I'll hand it in first.)

Chapter 241 Patriot's Trial Field, Wisdom Mode (Subscription Not Recommended)

When Kresten led the team out of the Patriot Trial Field, he affirmed to the people waiting in the game hall:

"Confirmed, the Patriot's Trial should be difficult. This is a choice trap.

If the Patriot takes action personally, it might be possible to let the enemy win, but the AI ​​in normal situations really only aims to kill the target as quickly as possible, without any mercy.

If it weren't for Saria, I'm afraid we would have failed in this challenge."

The thought of this made Kresten feel terrified.

The team she formed with Saria, Muirseth, Ferdinand and Magellan was already luxurious enough, but the other four only lasted less than 4 minutes in the face of the extremely terrifying AI, and the remaining 6 minutes were all led by Saria alone.

With only a pair of calcified iron fists and the Rhine shield, Saria fought the AI ​​program and almost wiped out the whole road, which also earned her high praise from the patriots.

After confirming the best options for both normal and difficult modes, the doctor, who had been dozing off with his chin propped up with both hands, concluded:

"From the perspective of site selection, the simpler and less likely to block vision, the better. The Patriots have too much combat experience, enough to ignore the adverse factors brought by the site.

Fortunately, we have good news. According to Ulpian, the only thing the Patriot is not good at is the surface field, which seems to be related to the fact that he has been fighting in Ursus for many years.

But we absolutely cannot choose the tundra site. Mr. Patriot is very comfortable in the tundra site. But he is right. After all, he has been living in the tundra of northwest Ursus with the guerrillas for more than ten years and is familiar with the environment there.

If it weren't for the close cooperation between Mace, SilverAsh, and Gnosis, who were also familiar with tundra combat, I'm afraid the Kjerag Raiders would have been defeated."

The operator in charge of summarizing and organizing the data collected all the information summarized by the major strategy teams and said to the doctor:

"Doctor, now the only thing left to be concluded is the Trial of Wisdom."

After hearing the news, the doctor who had been sleepy opened her lazy eyes and looked around at the leaders of the major strategy teams in the hall. Her calm eyes seemed to see through their purpose.

"Tsk, it seems that you think that the test of wisdom and command against the Patriots must be me?"

No one present felt guilty enough to lower their heads, because they really thought so. The doctor's command level was recognized as the strongest among them.

The doctor yawned, stood up, stretched comfortably, and waved to the attacking team he brought with him.

The four people she brought with her this time were Huang, Shining, Scout, and ACE. They can be said to be the strongest group of people in Rhodes Island in all aspects at this stage.

After confirming that the team was assembled, the Doctor sent a request for the challenge.

"Well, then I'll give it a try with Mr. Bozhukas."

Since the Doctor had already released an announcement through the forum before the trial, publicly stating that all major strategy groups would unite and explore a strategy for all Terra players to pass the Patriot Trial with 100% certainty.

So at this time there was no other team competing with them for the team priority order, and the doctor's challenge request was quickly approved.
