Chapter 321: The Battle for the Nine Palaces

Is it finally getting started?

Midi's heart sank, and she immediately sent the Star Spirit Vault Dweller to investigate.

These level 72 magical lifeforms are completely immune to psychic abilities, cannot be detected by telepathy, and have powerful individual combat abilities without eating or drinking, making them good scouts.

Soon, the surrounding geography after the transformation of the illusion was clearly explored by Midi.

He was shocked to find that the situation was very bleak.

Because the geographical illusion of this second stage of trial is very similar to the environment of Octagonal Island, in other words, the eight small temples are located in the eight corners, and the central temple is located in the center of the entire area, and there are passages between the eight competitors, so to speak, it is completely surrounded by embattled people as soon as they come up.

Although there is a special class of "Star Spirit Vault Dweller" to make up for it, it is obvious that only thirty Star Spirit Vault Dwellers are completely inadequate in this situation.

After finally fighting hard against the two Shadow Kings, he finally entered the central temple, but in the end he dug his own grave, and Midi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

How is this battle going to be fought?

Kill the strongest, most threatening one first.

Soon, Midi came to a conclusion.

As for who the strongest enemy is, it is naturally the one of the Seventh Temple, only half a month after he won the first place, the Seventh Temple has also passed the first stage of the trial, and then undoubtedly has the development time second only to Midi.

Midi must first attack at the speed of thunder and kill the Seventh Temple, so as to deter others, and by the way, give himself an extra stronghold that he can detour.

The scouts immediately began to concentrate on the exploration of the Seventh Temple, and Midi gathered a large army, and when the time was right, he immediately crossed the tunnel and attacked.

It's just that the results of the investigation surprised Midi greatly-

In the Seventh Temple's Mind Flayer army, there are a large number of undead!

You can guess on your knees who the trialist in the Seventh Temple is - Wiseman, the "Hand of Nightmares".

This necromancer, seems to be having a good time.

And most importantly, there is no conflict between his profession and the possessed Mind Flayer.

Like Midi, he can't use any ghost swordsman's skills at all, because there are no ghosts and gods in the body of the Mind Flayer, and his physique, speed, and familiarity with melee white-bladed weapons can't make Midi use any sword weapons at all.

In other words, after being possessed, Midi can be said to have cut off and retrain, and he can only adapt to the skills and strength of the Mind Snatcher without any choice.

But for Wiseman, necromancer itself is a legal profession, and there is no need for special conditions such as ghosts and gods, and he can cast skills if he has magical powers. So obviously, he turned his possessed Mind Flayer mage into a Mind Flayer necromancer.

Not only that, judging from the size of that undead army, the profession of necromancer has probably been promoted by Wiseman in the settlement. As far as the eye can see, there are Mind Flayer Necromancers everywhere, but they are orthodox elemental mages, but there are very few.

Originally, Midi had been wondering in her mind what would happen to a country if a crazy researcher like Wiseman were allowed to rule over it. Now, after seeing the army of skeletons in the Mind Flayer colony, he understands that Wiseman will make others as crazy as he is.

Midi can't afford to mess with a madman like this, especially when there are seven temples behind his ass.

"Make an alliance. "Midi himself came to the border and sent a message with a powerful mental force.

It's just that this request for an alliance has not received any response as if it had sunk into the sea.

Could it be that Wiseman is going to have a good fight with me here?

The corners of Midi's mouth twitched.

This is not impossible, after all, Wiseman's biggest mentality is to explore the unknown, as for the overall situation, what the alliance is, he usually has scruples, but in this kind of trial space that will not cause death, I am afraid that he will not be able to restrain this cynical crazy scholar.

Because Midi is the strongest, he has to challenge Midi and challenge himself, and if such a thought pops up in Wiseman's mind, Midi is not surprised at all.

And just as Midi sighed deeply, a telepathic message was finally delivered.

But this information is unreadable because it is made entirely of noises of unknown significance.

"What's going on?" said Midi, frowning, a vague suspicion in her mind.

Soon, after several tests, this speculation was confirmed.

Between the nine great temples, there is no alliance.

To be more precise, the nine trialists could not communicate with each other, and the words spoken by one person or the psychic information transmitted by them were all distorted into noise in the minds of the others, and it was impossible to have an effective conversation at all.

Not only that, but Midi even found that there seemed to be a deep hatred between these Mind Flayers under his own hands and the Mind Flayers under the other party.

The attitude of the supreme powerhouse who created the labyrinth of the mind was obvious - he didn't want any real-world connections to affect this trial, and he didn't want the trialist's political alliance ability to play a role here.

He was going to choose the one who was the best at fighting, who knew psionic energy the most, and who had the strongest abilities.

That's all.

In the case of such a trialist being directly restricted from communicating, the only thing that can be done is probably to launch an attack with a "heart".

For example, when the Seventh Temple attacked a certain place, the Eighth Temple also joined in and attacked the place from another direction. This kind of cooperation can only be achieved in the simplest and understandable at a glance.

And without a doubt, the easiest goal to achieve this kind of cooperation is the central shrine.

No matter who attacked the central temple, the other temples around it would be able to quickly detect the situation.

In addition, there are eight tunnels around the central temple, and other temples can attack from different directions without interfering with each other.

The geographical environment that was originally vulnerable to siege, and now the rules of the trial have prompted others to tend to besiege the central temple, and Midi's situation has further deteriorated.

No matter how well it develops, if it is attacked by the eight major temples at the same time, Midi will be out immediately.

Can't sit still!

Midi made a decision immediately.

Of course, he didn't plan to gnaw on a hard bone like Wiseman, but the opponents of the other temples, Midi had no scruples.

Leaving two deep sword marks in the tunnel leading to the Seventh Temple, Midi retreated, leaving a part of his army to defend the city, gathering three hundred Heartsnatchers and fifteen hundred high-ranking minions, and thirty Star Spirit Vault Dwellers hiding on the periphery before heading straight for the First Temple.

The opponent in this battle is not strong, and he has no characteristics, so he cannot be identified at all.

Moreover, judging from the extent of the damage to the settlement, Midi was very skeptical that the opponent of the First Temple was the last guy to pass the first stage of the trial.

Because, there are many injuries in the settlement, and he doesn't even have time to repair them, and he looks like he has just gone through a big battle.

However, even in the face of such an opponent, Midi did not relax in the slightest, because he was not just facing the threat of one or two temples, but the pressure of all the trialists.

Under this pressure, Midi used all her skills as soon as she came up, and launched a battle that was as fast as a flood.

Under the orders of this genius commander, the elite army crushed the opponents of the First Temple almost in a single face, and even destroyed the city gates and defenses in just half an hour, and drove all the way in.

The trialists of the First Temple had already fled in a panic, but there was no need for Midi to pursue them. After personally assimilating the Mind Crystal Pool, the Mind Flayer of the First Temple immediately switched sides and threw themselves into the command of Midi, and at the same time, the ancient voice sounded again.

"The Psychic Crystal Pool of the First Temple has been transformed, and the Trialist is out. ”

With this sound, there was a scream somewhere in the field, and the trialist who had managed to escape from the battlefield with great difficulty immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared, and the Mind Flayer Demon he possessed also turned into a corpse on the spot.

Midi's strength was immediately strengthened again, and although the strength of the First Temple was already weak, and there was not much left after the First World War, at least, it was a good thing that a threat was removed.

However, Midi did not feel any joy in his first victory, on the contrary, he knew that now was the real beginning.

Sure enough, after the notice of the destruction of the first temple was issued, there was a certain reaction from the second temple to the eighth temple.

To be precise, the initial tentative phase has passed, and the attacks on Midi have begun.

The second, fourth, and fifth temples attacked at the same time, attacking the central temple from three different directions.

In the face of the attack of the three major temples, Midi did not withdraw his troops to defend. In other words, at this time, there is no point in defending, just to delay the time of destruction.

He ordered the defenders to defend the city at all costs, while he himself led the main force and swooped down on the Second Temple.

In this fight, Midi immediately deduced the identity of the other party.

The man with the scar in the execution team faction is the trialist of the Second Temple, because his offensive style is extremely distinct, and his attainments in the offensive array are also quite remarkable.

It's a pity that as the leader of the bloody purification execution team, he has not experienced a large-scale battle in the true sense, and in the face of a genius commander like Midi, he is not good at defense in the first place, and he is full of loopholes.

Midi first launched a feint attack on the empty Second Temple settlement.

As soon as the news broke, the Scar Man immediately gave up his attack on the Central Temple, and anxiously returned to his lair with his troops to support.

It's a pity that he was ambushed by Midi on the way, and most of his troops were wiped out, and then he was chased and killed by Midi all the way, and was finally annihilated directly under his own city gate.

"The host of the second temple is dead, and the trialist is out. ”

Ancient voices sounded again.

However, this time, since the second temple's psychic crystal pool had not yet been transformed, the Mind Flayer in the settlement did not belong to Midi, but formed a "natural force" to resist all foreign invasions.

As the situation in the central temple was getting worse and worse, Midi had no time to continue the attack, so he had to abandon the second temple that had become a wild faction and return to the central temple.

At this time, the benefits are manifested, although the central temple is easily besieged, but it is precisely because of its central location that his transportation is also the most convenient.

Midi doesn't have to take any detours, and can quickly return to the center.

As soon as he entered the battlefield, he didn't care about the damage to his own city, but murderously outflanked the army of the Fourth Temple directly from the back, looking like he was going to eat the other party in turn.
