But there was an additional crystalall-like object with two ways to win.
Occupying more points or destroying the opponent's crystal.
The position of the crystal can be placed by the players in any city.
This round of competition lasted longer, allowing for greater demonstration of the trib's overall strength.
Sushingu dispatched troops to the battlefield to seize points first, then left it at that.
He gathered all the professionals in the tribe and gave them a speech.
This is a once-ina-lifetime opportunity.
During this period, all resources within the tribe are at your disposal to experiment with your bold ideas.
How does one judge a nation's strength? Simply looking at military combat power is not comprehensive.
A nation's strength should encompass multiple fields including military, logistics, technology, etc.
Thus, Sushingu pondered a question.
Since this is a phantom world where warriors do not die, does that mean materials consumed would also regenerate? He then inquired with the system, which confirmed that it could indeed recover.
Under the systems great power, this phantom world is not much different from the real world.
The weapons and equipment you craft cannot be taken out, but the system will not deprive you of the experience gained in the process.
In other words, as long as you successfully craft an item in this world, you can still succeed in crafting it when you return to the real world.
This can be considered a hidden benefit.
Nearly 1,500 days, about 4 years time, if utilized well, could significantly enhance the tribe strength.
While the professionals were experimenting wildly, the battlefield on the other side officially erupted.
Before entering the competition, Sushingu had asked Blackar for information on his opponent.
Although Blackar was not in District 36, he had his own information channels and obtaining a report was not difficult for him.
Moreover, Sushing Yu had also traded his own intelligence with him.
The opposing Ratman player, Star Eater, ranked fifth, was not weak and naturally appeared in this intelligence report.
Star Eater's army composition mainly consisted of Ratman warriors and beast rat hordes with a population exceeding 10 million, a truly terrifying number.
It was said that prior to this, he had relied on rat swarm tactics to break through many players tribes, forcing those players to abandon everything and flee with their remaining soldiers.
I want to see how you claim the top spot.
The Ratman player's divine avatar controlled the trib's army, charging directly into the battlefield with 200 000 beast rats and nearly 100 0000 ratman warriors.
It was a terrifying force from start.
Ignoring the points, Star Eater rushed straight to the border city of the night tribe.
But before the rad army could enter the other half of the battlefield, nearly 50 0000 black armored cavalry charged forward.
Devour them.
Roaring, the beast rat horde surged forward, colliding with the cavalry.
Chaos erupted.
The frontline beast rats nearly 3 m long were sent flying by the charging black armored cavalry.
Some were trampled down by hooves, turning into a puddle of mud.
The warriors on horseback swung their long knives, cleaving the leaping giant rats in half, their stinking blood splattering onto them.
However, gradually, under the fearless obstruction of the rat horde, the cavalry's speed began to slow.
Behind the rat army, the ratman priesthood continuously cast spells, boosting the frontline troops.
One giant rat after another, with blood red eyes fell into a frenzy.
They knew not of pain or fear of death.
Only one simple and straightforward thought to kill the enemy before them and then devour their flesh and blood.
Chirp, chirp, chirp.
Constantly giant rats fell.
But then more giant rats surged to fill the gaps in the line.
Now this is what a battle looks like.
Night battle was immensely excited, casually swinging his blade, and a sixth tier giant rat commander was immediately slain in the flickering light of his sword.
Blood quickly stained the ground and giant rat corpses littered everywhere.
Star Eater paid no heed to the fallen kin.
Let alone that this was just a phantom world.
Even in the real world, he wouldn't care.
The powerful reproductive ability of his kin made him strong, but also brought him considerable distress.
There was simply too many to sustain.
The reason for constantly waging war was precisely because his race needed to engage in warfare to achieve maximum efficiency.
Apart from the elite troops selected from a large number of vassels, he didn't care about the deaths of other warriors no matter how many fell as they could be revived in a few days anyway.
However, seeing the black armored cavalry continuously charging against the formation, Xiing felt quite surprised.
The warriors on the opposite side were a bit strong.
As a player who frequently invaded, Xi Shing had encountered more races than Sush Shing Yu, including quite a few human players.
However, most of these players were not very strong.
Their armies had warriors and magicians, but the result was that they didn't master either, and when faced with the tide tactics of the Ratman army, they basically crumbled during battle.
In contrast, the human players before him gave him a sense of facing a powerful solo player.
No matter how many warriors you have or how fierce they are, I remain unyielding.
If the Ratman army is a tide, then the cavalry on the opposite side is a warship riding the waves, able to continue forward regardless of how many layers of waves lie ahead.
The battle lasted from noon until evening.
The armor on the warriors have been stained a deep red black, covered in blood, both enemy and their own, making them look terrifying, as if they were demonic knights returning from hell, causing fear in those who beheld them.
Seizing the opportunity, Yan led the cavalry to break through from a weak point in the line, trying to escape, Xiing frowned and quickly redirected his available elite legion to the breakthrough point, blocking the cavalry s path.
Then Ejan and the troops behind him erupted instantaneously.
Thousands of blades slashing out, creating a large gap in the newly formed defensive line of the ratman.
Before the ratman could surround the gap, Yan charged out with the cavalry.
Seeing this, Xiing had no choice but to regroup his ratman army, watching the retreating black armored cavalry.
Xiing counted the casualties on both sides, and his expression immediately turned grim.
The Black Armor cavalry had lost nearly a thousand while his side had lost almost 40,000 140.
Even though Xi Shing had mentally prepared himself upon seeing the combat power of the black armored cavalry, this death ratio almost made him curse.
After hundreds of battles, his ratman army had never held an advantage in terms of casualty ratio.
Even against the monstrous armies of the plane fragments, it was roughly one three.
When facing players, this ratio often approached 110.
The most exaggerated instance was against an orc player where was 115 and he lost that battle.
But 140 was just ridiculous.
This ratio meant that in the last battle, if the opponent was willing to bear losses, they could have easily wiped him out.
Headache.
Even though this army didn't contain many elites, the fact that 300,000 warriors couldn't defeat 50,000 on the opposite side made Xi Shing realize the reality.
He probably couldn't win this battle.
Forget it.
Let us finish the fight first.
It can be seen as honing the warrior skills.
Soon, Xi Shing threw his worries aside, instructed his subordinates to clean the battlefield, and then dispersed this army into five strongholds on his side.
At the same time, he began to frantically mobilize troops from the tribe, preparing to take this opportunity to let his warriors see blood.
The results of their training couldn't be taken out, but the experience of battle could be, and the insights gained from breakthroughs could also be carried out.
Even if the ratman's training was completely different from that of normal beings, they still had their own paths.
Taking a few more steps would still be useful.
After this clash, both sides almost abandoned production and began frantically mobilizing troops toward the border.
Until one day, large-scale battles erupted all over the battlefield.
Like a slaughterhouse, thousands of warriors died every day.
Neither side communicated, but they very tacitly chose to divide the battlefield into three levels: low intensity, medium intensity, and high intensity.
The low-intensity battlefield was filled with conscripted militia who had only undergone a short period of barack training before joining the battlefield, resulting in very weak combat power.
The medium-intensity battlefield consisted of veterans who survived for a month in the low-intensity battlefield.
The high-intensity battlefield was a mutual brawl between both sides elites.
In the first two battlefields, Xi Shing had a significant advantage, but it didn't matter.
The decisive factor was the last battlefield where he was at a huge disadvantage.
If it weren't for the opponent holding back, he would have been crushed in that battlefield long ago.
However, Xiing didn't know that at this moment.
Sushing Yu in the Eternal Night City was also somewhat disappointed.
