After adding four NPC sword and shield soldiers, the defensive formation of the "Peacock Xiangxiang" mercenary group is as follows:

There are four sword and shield soldiers in the first row, three sword soldiers in the second row, four sword soldiers in the third row, and three sword soldiers in the fourth row plus Chen Xiangxiang, a total of four people; The spacing between the first, second, and third rows is 1 meter, and the spacing between the third and fourth rows is 1.5 meters.

The archers are arranged in a formation of (3+1), 4, and 3, forming the fifth, sixth, and seventh rows of NPC soldiers; Kong Xiuying himself was in the fifth row with three archers, the distance between the fifth and sixth rows and the front row was 1.5 meters, and the distance between the sixth and seventh rows was 1 meter.

The three NPC Soldiers in the second and seventh rows are aligned vertically, and the horizontal spacing between the NPC Soldiers in each row is 1.5 meters.

The four men in the other rows are also aligned vertically, and the horizontal spacing between the NPC soldiers in each row is also 1.5 meters.

The combination of a three-person row of NPC soldiers and a four-person row is staggered by 0.75 meters from each other in the longitudinal direction.

The above formation is the new 'fixed formation' of the 'Peacock Xiangxiang' mercenary group.

However, in this defensive formation, the sword and shield soldiers in the first row are only 2 meters away from the edge of the spiritual force field space in front of them, and their early warning time is relatively less, but fortunately, the sword and shield soldiers have shields as protection; Although the shield of the sword and shield soldier is only a small shield and cannot cover the whole body, there is no problem in protecting the vital parts of the body.

What's more, there are knives in the hands of the sword and shield soldiers, coupled with the real-time image information provided by the holographic recorder, which allows them to clearly grasp the situation on the opposite side of the shield even when the shield is cut off from the line of sight, which makes them better play the role of the shield.

Increases the actual combat effect of sword and shield soldiers, which has been proven to be very effective by actual combat testing.

In these days of bat-to-bat battles, each wave of attacks from the bats will cost the first row of swords and shields an average of 2 HP, the second row of swords lose 5 HP, the other swords lose 2 HP, and the archers will lose an average of 2 HP.

This greatly increased the time for Kong Xiuying and Chen Xiangxiang to practice 'killing multiple birds with one stone'.

After 5 days and 10 plays, both of them successfully mastered the skill of using 'killing six birds with one stone' in an environment where the target object was moving at high speed.

After 8 days and 16 plays, both of them successfully mastered the ability to use 'killing eight birds with one stone' in an environment where the target object was moving at high speed.

During this period, Chen Xiangxiang's spiritual force field value increased from 12 to 13 on January 6, which also increased the warning range of the sword and shield soldiers in the first row by 0.5 meters.

In this part of the practice, during the interval after a wave of bat attacks, she would praise the archers or sword and shield soldiers who had performed well in previous battles, which was also a mature experience she learned from Chen Xiangxiang.

When Chen Xiangxiang used to train sword soldiers, he always gave applause and praise when the sword soldiers performed well; Kong Xiuying needs to use the 'Killing Many Birds with One Stone' skill with all her strength when facing a bat attack, although she is always observing the overall situation in the entire mental force field space, she does not have the time and energy to give applause and praise at that time, so she can only make up for it during the battlefield break, which can be regarded as a way for her to stimulate the self-motivation of NPC soldiers.

As of January 13, Kong Xiuying's rented archers and sword and shield soldiers have been promoted, two archers and one sword and shield soldiers have been promoted to "sergeant major", and other archers and sword and shield soldiers have also been promoted to "special soldiers".

The game's definition of "Special Soldier" is: "Attack accuracy is increased by 100% compared to 'Normal Soldier'"

The game's definition of "Sergeant Major" is: "Attack damage is increased by 100% compared to 'Special Soldier'"

When she first started renting these NPC soldiers, Kong Xiuying didn't think about numbering them, and it wasn't until some soldiers started to advance that Kong Xiuying named the Archer NPCs 'Archer No. 1' to 'Archer No. 10' according to the early and late promotion time, and named the Sword and Shield NPCs 'Sword and Shield No. 1' to 'Sword and Shield No. 4' in turn.

Chen Xiangxiang's 'Sword Soldier No. 1' also successfully got promoted again through this period of commanding the operations of NPC soldiers of various arms, and was promoted from 'Sword Soldier General' to 'Commander'.

The 'Commander''s peak HP has reached 200, which is 50 higher than the 'General''s peak HP of 150.

The system's evaluation of the 'command envoy' is: "It has the initial ability to command multi-arms operations." ”

As for the new 'Knife Commander', the message sent by the game system to the public is: "Due to the player's contribution, the NPC soldiers assigned to the system have six levels: 'Commander', 'General', 'Captain', 'Sergeant Major', 'Special Soldier', and 'Ordinary Soldier'; ”

For this new contribution, the reward given by the system to Chen Xiangxiang is: "Four-star Bronze Star" honor value.

So far, Chen Xiangxiang's cumulative honor value has reached: "one-star silver star" honor value + "eight-star bronze star" honor value.

In the experience of Kong Xiuying's 'Bat Cave' mission, there is another change that makes her very happy, that is, she has been unchanged before, and after every 6 days and 12 dream game activities, she will increase her mental power by one point, and when she experiences the 'Bat Cave' mission, she will be adjusted to experience every 5 days and 10 dream game activities, and she will be increased by one mental power value.

This time cycle of 5 days and 10 times is the speed maintained by Chen Xiangxiang's current mental power growth, which at least makes the gap between Kong Xiuying's mental power and Chen Xiangxiang's spiritual power not getting bigger and bigger; For this reason, Kong Xiuying, who was originally superior to Chen Xiangxiang in terms of spiritual strength, did feel very aggrieved.

This also prompted Kong Xiuying to encourage Chen Xiangxiang to continue to experience this 'bat cave' task after she mastered the 'Eight Birds with One Stone' skill, and if this skill is successfully developed, it will be a scientific and technological innovation.

During the training of the 'Bat Cave' mission, they also discovered a phenomenon, that is, "The species and number of bats under the jurisdiction of the 'Bat Cave' can be regenerated without restrictions. ”

Originally, the two of them were still a little worried that if the number of bats in the bat cave was limited, then after their continuous consumption in waves, it would inevitably be exhausted in the end; If so, it will affect the intensity of their workouts.

However, it turned out that they were overly worried, and these days, no matter how hard they tried, as long as they kept their position from the mouth of the bat cave unchanged, each wave of bats they encountered did not change in number and size; The setting of the batswarm here, like the arrows in the NPC archer quiver, is also inexhaustible.

The A trainee, who was selected by the National Security Bureau as an outstanding talent and sent to the sheep herding base for training, was able to try to practice directing the four sheep operation on January 8 after being able to skillfully command the three sheep operation.

Li Xin, who heard this information, hurriedly rushed over and asked her to test her own sheep herding ability without wearing a jade bracelet; It has been proved in practice that when she is not wearing a jade bracelet, she can flexibly command two sheep to act, but she is unable to command three sheep to act according to orders.

This shows that Student A's current mental power value has reached 8, and he can no longer practice spiritual power without having to pass the jade bracelet; This can basically be guessed that the initial value of student A's mental power when he entered the sheep herding base was 7.

For the jade bracelet that was liberated, the National Security Bureau sent another female student D on January 10.

For Student A to get rid of the dependence on the jade bracelet so quickly, the National Security Bureau specially gave Student A a meritorious service praise and bonus reward, commending her hard work and achievements in order to quickly improve her mental strength.

From the perspective of the National Security Bureau, what I hope to see most is that every selected student can quickly get rid of the dependence on the jade bracelet, so that more potential talents can use the help of the jade bracelet to improve their mental power one day earlier; At the same time, I also hope that every student who gets rid of the dependence on the jade bracelet can make persistent efforts to quickly improve the spiritual power and grow into the pillars of the country as soon as possible.
