Chapter 28: The Trap of Faith
War is no child's play, especially on a large-scale battlefield like a meat grinder, which is far more dangerous than ordinary battles.
The number and uncertainty of the enemy are completely unpredictable on the battlefield, and the role of individual forces is infinitely reduced throughout the campaign.
Whether or not you can survive in such a battlefield for three hours is a big test for the average player.
While the average player shuddered and pondered how to survive three hours on such a fierce battlefield, Riel, a high-level cancer patient, was thinking about how to make the three hours of this tiny dungeon as interesting as possible.
Rookies peck each other often come and go fiercely, and the master's tricks are often just a matter of moments.
Unlike all the soldiers of all races who roared loudly on the battlefield and had exaggerated faces, this man with a rough face had a meticulous and calm appearance that was different from his appearance.
He was always silent, wielding his chainsaw sword with a blank face, slashing at the enemy's neck with great efficiency and ruthlessness.
All kinds of fierce and ferocious enemies were nothing more than a pile of cumbersome and superfluous pieces of flesh in his eyes, plus a neck that was about to be broken.
With every shot, he can always kill with a precise and effective blow and cut off a head.
Relying on the prediction ability of [Extreme Meme], combined with the excess attribute value after entering the dungeon, Riel easily completed dozens of exquisite kills.
In the course of each slash, Rare has developed the basic attack patterns and movement tendencies of various types of enemies.
Although these humanoid monsters generally outperform ordinary humans in terms of basic stats of physique and strength, their combat skills are significantly weaker than those of well-trained warriors in humans due to their low mental attributes and limited intellectual development.
Even if Riel didn't deliberately use [Extreme Meme] to analyze and predict, in his eyes, the enemy's movements were no different from the enemy's preset movements that had been played 10,000 times in a game console that had been played 10,000 times, and how to dodge was almost engraved in his DNA.
Dodge the attack, then slash below the head and above the torso to leave a headless corpse on the battlefield.
Even the most courageous of the minotaurs will not escape a single blow under Rare's chainsaw sword.
While there are plenty of enemies on the battlefield, so are the allies of the Imperial faction.
The difficulty of this battlefield dungeon can be limited to [Normal], in addition to the NPCs played by the player themselves belong to the elite of the Imperial Army, these powerful mechanized comrades are the key.
Even players who are not particularly good at combat can spend a lot of time as long as they keep dodging enemy attacks and pulling into corners where there are many Imperial troops.
By moving back and forth between friend and foe, Riel keeps the fight at a pace where his stamina can be restored.
After all, at all times, physical strength will always be the number one enemy limiting Rare's battles.
If this game didn't have a set of stamina, now Rare would probably be able to perform chainsaw mowing on the battlefield......
It seems that because Riel is using an NPC template at the moment, he can't directly gain experience from various actions.
From here, it can be seen that NPCs and players are completely different species.
This kind of battle, which has no feedback mechanism, quickly makes Rare boring.
This is the first difficulty he encounters in this quest - how to find fun outside of combat.
But the high-play cancer patient quickly found a way to self-medicate.
He began to study the physiology of the various strange races on the battlefield......
After cutting a few laps of various species on the entire battlefield, the minotaur has the highest biological level and the strongest combat effectiveness.
But in terms of intelligence, the brain power of these muscular monsters is the lowest among all races.
Their fighting style is often very crude, with no decent moves at all, and they almost just rely on their strong physique to smash around with heavy weapons.
After physiological anatomical analysis, Riel found that the Minotaur had a very small brain, probably the size of an apple.
And the bigger the physique, the more muscular the minotaur the smaller the brain.
This strange phenomenon caused Riel to speculate.
[What's going on?] This growth pattern is completely inconsistent with traditional physiology, and there is some mechanism that causes the brain to shrink through negative feedback through the growth of physical muscles......]
Just as Riel had this thought, a message popped up in his head.
【Touching the Secret of the World [Faith Trap]]
[Be vigilant, your actions have attracted the attention of a certain being]
Faith traps?
Riel is instantly attracted by the triggered message.
[Interesting, it actually attracted the attention of a certain existence, faith......]
Based on this information, Riel probably understands that the Minotaurs' intelligence is a trick played by some of their beliefs.
This kind of thing can be understood as an equivalent exchange, or it can be seen as a conspiracy by some being to control the source of faith.
Of all the races in the Eastern Wastelands, the Minotaurs are the most devotive to the gods of nature, and in return, they are blessed with the strongest physique and the potential to break through in battle.
Those giant minotaurs four or five meters tall are the minotaur elites who have broken through countless battles to break through the original biological level.
It can be said that the Minotaur is the most special being of this wild race favored by the gods of nature.
Faith is the source of their strength, and at the price, they pay a real IQ tax and can only rely on pure wildness to fight.
And this wildness is exactly what the gods of nature need.
This is a time of gods and faith, a version of the gods who are rampant in the world.
This time, the various creatures scattered in the eastern wilderness in the form of tribes were able to form an army in the form of a coalition army to resist the empire's crusade, and the oracle sent down by the god of nature contributed a lot.
After all, if the Horus Nexun Empire is allowed to successfully open up and occupy a large area of the eastern wasteland, the impact on this god of nature will be immeasurable.
However, judging from the spiritual attribute of the Sledgehammer's positive growth according to the level of the creature, in the current version of the game, the ancient existence has either long since perished or completely declined, and the influence of mana is not as good as before.
This can be regarded as a generational version of a god in the true sense of the word, and in the current version, technology has replaced the gods in the traditional sense and ascended to the throne......
