Chapter 322: Cheating

If the Fourth Temple launches a fierce attack regardless of it, even if the Sixth Temple is destroyed after the last attack, there is still a high possibility that the Sixth Temple will be attacked at the same time and seize Midi's Spiritual Crystal Pool.

It's just that the two sides are not allies after all, they just attack tacitly, and they can't even be separated from each other, they can only be said to take what they need.

Unable to withstand the onslaught from the belly and back, the Fourth Temple had to choose to retreat.

Midi, who returned to the central city, immediately began to defend it strictly, and the sixth temple could not be attacked for a long time, and he was afraid that his lair would be attacked by the adjacent opponent, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

At this point, the first large-scale melee is finally over.

The Fourth and Sixth Temples returned in vain.

The second temple was destroyed, but the Spiritual Crystal Pool was unoccupied, becoming a negative force of freedom.

Although Midi seized the Soul Crystal Pool of the First Temple, the headquarters city was bombarded indiscriminately by the forces of the three sides, and various facilities were seriously damaged, and the number of troops was seriously reduced, and it was also a great loss of vitality, so he could only choose to defend it.

All of a sudden, everyone learned their lesson, and instead of coming up and launching a fierce attack, they mainly tested each other.

And under this kind of temptation, the identities of the triers of the major temples gradually became clear.

The first temple and the second temple are out, and their identities don't matter.

The Third Temple Trialist, Avril Lavigne, is an assassination-focused style.

The Fourth Temple Tribulator, Sandul, is strong and aggressive.

The Fifth Temple Tribulator, Reinhardt, was also a superb commander, but the prince was obviously not very adaptable to the Mind Flayer's military style.

Sixth Temple Trialist, Shelly, Shandur's little junior sister.

The Seventh Temple Trialist, the "Hand of Nightmares" Wiseman, has an extremely distinct style of becoming a sea of undead, and there is no need to doubt it at all.

The Eighth Temple Trialist, Rot, is as steady and steady as ever.

The clarity of identity has gradually formed the vertical and horizontal cooperation between each other. Although the interference of the trial rules made it impossible to form an alliance in the true sense, the major factions showed an extremely obvious tendency in the choice of attack targets.

It stands to reason that Midi's side should have the upper hand, because of the remaining seven temples, four are entirely on their side.

But in the following month or so of mutual testing and scuffle, this advantage did not manifest itself.

Needless to say, Wiseman, the "Hand of Nightmares", was able to become a mind snatcher and explore the mysteries of the mind snatcher society, and this crazy scholar didn't have time to study it, and basically didn't engage in any aggressive behavior, just buried himself in various experiments - including necromantic alchemy experiments, of course. And if he lacks resources, manpower, etc., he will directly find Roth in the Eighth Temple to plunder.

Poor patrol leader, completely suppressed by Wiseman, once he uses psionic energy, he will be confronted by the army of undead, and once he is on the army of servants, he will be suppressed by Wiseman's stronger psionic energy.

To make matters worse, the Eighth Temple was in the corner, and Lot had no room to retreat, and to get out, he had to face Wiseman's Seventh Temple. As a result, Roth's only choice was to shrink his forces and then defend it strictly, and the space and resources that originally belonged to the Eighth Temple were all seized by Wiseman for "research".

However, this situation was also expected by Midi, and at first, he did not expect Wiseman to cooperate well.

But the problem lies with Avril in the Third Temple and Reinhardt in the Fifth Temple.

When Midi resisted the combined attack of the three families, Avril secretly went deep into the second temple, stole the spiritual crystal pool, and became a powerhouse with two major settlements in one fell swoop.

Reinhardt, on the other hand, was the true commander second only to Midi in this trial.

It stands to reason that these two should be able to take the lead in the trial.

But the fact is that they were actually pressed and beaten by the combined forces of the Fourth and Sixth Temples, Marcel's two proud disciples, Sandul and Xie Li, the two senior brothers and sisters!

The three, four, five, and **** temples are like a pair of sharp canine teeth, biting into each other, bursting out of fierce sparks from time to time, but every time, it is Avril and Reinhardt who fall behind.

Even Midi's intervention could not reverse the situation.

After several encounters, Midi finally discovered an extremely shocking fact - Sandour and Shelly had really formed a "coalition".

It is not a "temporary cooperation" formed by tacit understanding under the restrictions of the trial rules, but it really connects the two armies, the two command systems, and even the psychic networks established by the two settlements.

In simple terms, this is an army.

The commander of this army was the aggressive Sandul, and the deputy was the cautious Cherry, although they were not real commanders, but their large forces and unimpeded command transmission gave them a huge advantage.

After all, all Reinhardt and Avril can do is cooperate to the same level of "not attacking each other".

And the vitality of Midi's side has not yet recovered, and the several times he has participated in the war, it has been harassed by small forces.

The three of them must not let the troops touch each other, otherwise the troops under their command will fight themselves.

On the one hand, it is the intimate cooperation between the two people, and on the other side, it is a temporary alliance that has been reluctantly put together, and it is self-evident which side can gain the advantage.

At this point, Midi can be sure that these two protégés of "Inquisitor" Marcel must have some cheating tricks, and more likely, this cheating trick seems to be provided to them by Marcel, so they can overcome the rules of trials and form a unified alliance.

However, Midi was not angry because of this, after all, the bloody purification has been rooted in this starry ocean for thousands of years, and he naturally has a deep study of the spiritual labyrinth, and being able to come up with a way to cheat is a skill in itself.

In this world, there can be no real fairness in the first place, let alone this kind of competition that requires unscrupulous means.

After confirming this, the only conclusion that Midi could deduce was that Avril and Reinhardt would eventually be out, because the power of the four temples was intertwined, and they could not stay out of the situation like a bystander like Midi, and could only be tired of dealing with the continuous attacks from the Sandul brothers and sisters, and eventually, the battle line would inevitably collapse.

And just as Midi expected, halfway through the third month, Reinhardt's Fifth Temple was finally conquered.

"Hmph, with the spiritual double ring given by the teacher, Shelly and I are like one person in this trial, our hearts can be connected, and who can resist it?" Sandul let out a smug laugh as he trampled the corpse of the Mind Flayer possessed by Reinhardt under his feet.

In fact, not only this spiritual double ring, as a trialist who has also experienced the test of the spiritual labyrinth, Marcel also consciously taught a lot of command knowledge to the two brothers and sisters in these years, and even did not hesitate to consume resources to let them conduct one exercise after another, all for this trial.

Therefore, even in the face of Reinhardt, a clever commander, the Sandur brothers and sisters will not show any flaws, and the rest is to rely on close cooperation and superior forces to crush them.

And on the third day after Reinhardt's collapse, Avril was out.

Even if Avril had two settlements at hand, after all, she was only an assassin and was not good at taking the position of leader.

Of course, Midi didn't do nothing during this time, instead, he opted for a frantic attack.

This attack caused heavy losses to the Sandur siblings, but in the end, it was not able to prevent Reinhardt and Avril from going out.

At the end of the third month, the tide of the war had finally changed radically.

All the "not strong enough" have been cleared out, and there are only three major forces left.

Midi, based on the central shrine, radiates the first and second shrines. Among them, the second temple was snatched back by Midi when Avril was out.

Wiseman, sensing the change in the situation on the main battlefield, destroyed Roth, used the seventh temple as a stronghold, and controlled the eighth temple at the same time, as if he was the master of a corner.

Sandul and Shelly, the two brothers and sisters occupy the third to the **** temples, and it can be said that they control half of the entire trial land, and since they have two people, they can take turns to govern, so that the four settlements continue to develop, unlike Midi and Wiseman, who still need to have time to rest.

The fourth month came quietly.

The three major forces have reached the peak of development, and the surrounding atmosphere is tense, and it is obviously about to enter the moment of the final battle.

So, who are you going to attack?

In everyone's mind, such a question arises.

Logically speaking, it is the most reasonable choice to unite with Wiseman and attack the Sandul brothers and sisters. But Midi knew that if he did, he would be able to repeat the tragedy of Reinhardt and Avril.

If the two forces that are unable to communicate and even hate each other in the army are reluctantly united, it is very likely that they will not be able to exert their true strength because of mutual scruples.

As long as cutting tactics are used on the battlefield, the final result is still broken one by one.

Even if Midi's central temple had the most elite troops, it would be difficult to reverse this strategic disadvantage.

Besides, Wiseman wasn't a commander, but a mad scholar, and if he used some unbelievable tactics on the battlefield, Midi might be dragged into the water.

So, do you want to ignore Wiseman and attack the Sandul siblings directly?

Midi calculated silently in her mind.

If he did this, he estimated that he had about a sixty percent chance of winning, after all, as a genius commander and with the elite troops of the Central Temple, it would not be so difficult to defeat the opponent's four temples.

However, the opponent may not only have this hole card.

Since they were able to blind the trial once, maybe they could blind it a second time, and if it was at a critical moment, Sandor used some special cheating method, it was difficult for Midi to say that he could immediately see through and resolve it.

Since the top mechanizer is determined to win, Midi must adopt a way with a higher chance of victory to prepare for this final battle.

"It seems that the best way to deal with Wiseman is to deal with Wiseman first!" Midi whispered to herself, and a light full of wisdom flashed in her star-black eyes.
