Chapter 985 - Tricks
Extra care?
Xiahou Gang's words were meaningful, and no one could hear them except Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan listened, but the person retreated calmly without any response.
The selection meeting involved He Zongyuan, and it was related to whether Qiu'er's whereabouts could be found, and to be honest, Jiang Xuan didn't want to make it variable because of the battle of will.
Xiahou Gang said a few words about the villain's threat, but he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't respond at the moment, hoping that the other party could take care of the overall situation and not affect the outcome of the war because of personal grievances.
If the commander is too piggy, it will affect him.
However, his concession sent a strong wrong signal to Xiahou Gang.
"Hmph, it's quite familiar, and now that I know that the situation is dominated by me, I don't even dare to let a fart go. It's a pity that no matter how much you regret it, it's useless, this level of assessment will definitely make you suffer!"
Xiahou Gang thought darkly in his heart, and then quickly browsed the information of the jade plate in his hand, and then assigned the task.
Although he has a grudge against Jiang Xuan, he will not forget his responsibility.
As a descendant of the Xiahou family, a famous family in the army, this time he and another cousin were tasked with becoming a martial god guard and adding another glorious stroke to the resume of the Xiahou family.
For him, performing well in the selection is the first priority, revenge is the second, and he naturally distinguishes the priority and the second.
According to each person's position and expertise, Xia Hougang began to arrange their own tasks in a limited time.
Jiang Xuan watched him dispatch troops, Rao was hostile between the two sides, and he had to nod secretly.
Although this person is a chicken, after all, he is from the general's family, and he is well versed in the art of war, and everything is in order.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that they still had a chance to win.
An hour soon came, and as soon as the hour came, a huge magic circle appeared on the floor of the room where everyone was.
The jade plaques on everyone's bodies flowed out of white light in unison, quickly enveloping the whole body.
Sou. Sou. Sou.
One after another, the lights lit up, and more than 100 contestants in the room disappeared in place one after another!
Jiang Xuan also disappeared, and after a whirlwind, he found himself in the Demon Wetland.
All around, there are dense woods, and the ground is covered with silt and rotting leaves.
Not far from Jiang Xuan's side, there was a swamp.
Jiang Xuan's body, centered on the jade plate hanging from his waist, at some point, a white protective shield appeared, which was close to his body and did not affect his freedom of movement.
"When the shield is broken, it means out. ”
Jiang Xuan remembered what the goddess Hou had said before, and his divine power flashed with one finger, testing the strength of the protective shield.
"What a brittle shield. ”
After a little temptation, Jiang Xuan was startled, the strength of this protective shield was probably not even able to stop the full force of the gods and spirits.
In other words, even if he cultivates strongly, if he is not careful in battle, he may be killed by an enemy weaker than himself. Especially in the face of group battles, this possibility is greatly increased.
In this setting, it is relatively fair, and the weak contestants also have the opportunity to show their talents.
However, for a master of the third stage of the gods like Jiang Xuan, this was undoubtedly not good news, weakening his advantage.
He tried, and found that the protective light of the Nightmare Ice Silkworm Armor could not cover the protective shield, and he could only rely on the Nine Palaces World and the Immortal Golden Bell Technique to prevent the master from killing him.
"The battle will begin after ten breaths, for a total of half a day. ”
"In the territory of both of your teams, there are ten battle flags on each side, and whichever side has all the battle flags is captured, it means that the territory has fallen, that is, it has failed. In addition, if you can kill the opposing manager, you only need to capture half of the flag. ”
The voice of the goddess Hou from before sounded in the void, and at this moment, she stood outside the battle chessboard with a number of Martial God Guards, including Qu He, who was previously in charge of the first level assessment, watching the battle that was about to start inside.
Hearing her words, many monks in the Demon Barbarian Wetland looked back and found the battle flag at the back of their camp, fluttering in the wind.
The battle flag represents the territory, and if the territory is completely fallen, it is a failure.
"Okay, everyone has heard what the examiner said, and I'm in control of the situation next!"
Xiahou Gang's voice sounded, he was at the back of the territory, and at this moment, through the transmission note issued in advance, the voice sounded in everyone's ears.
The position that everyone is teleported to is arranged according to the position they have drawn, so there is already a prototype of the basic battle formation at the moment.
However, according to the different tactics used by each commander, the tasks of each soldier will be different, and even the royal soldiers will turn to attack the soldiers, which is normal.
At this moment, Xiahou Gang spoke, and everyone mobilized according to the battle formation he had designed in advance.
Not far from Jiang Xuan's side, there were many attackers like him, including Fan Jie, a female monk who was obviously ambiguous with Xiahou Gang before.
Many monks surrounded by white light moved quickly, scouting, defending, and arranging formations around the middle ground.
Although only the loss of territory can be regarded as a failure, everyone knows very well that the battle for the middle ground will greatly determine the outcome of the victory!
The middle zone, which is a three-point area, occupies one-third of the entire Demon Wetland. As long as you occupy this area, you can gain control of this area, greatly increase your strength, and contain the enemy in various ways.
Therefore, whichever side of the army takes this place first will most likely be the winner.
Xiahou Gang's tactics were to advance steadily, strengthen the territorial defenses of the imperial soldiers, set up various magic circle traps, and at the same time, there were multiple scouts to probe forward.
The attacking troops, including the main battle force and the forward troops, each occupied a favorable position first.
In the middle zone, at this moment, the purple miasma is swirling, covering the sky and the sun, like a wall, so that the two warring sides are completely unable to sense each other's existence.
Jiang Xuan squatted on a tree according to the battle array, looking far ahead, even if he used his purple compound eyes, the visibility was still terrifyingly low.
In the middle of the ground, where miasma is poisonous, monsters are rampant, and enemies lurk, scouts are especially important.
In any army, scouts are often the eyes of the army commander, without them, the commander is like a blind man, and the whole army will be in chaos.
As the Assassin Alliance's God of Killing, Jiang Xuan considered himself suitable to act as a scout.
However, if the coach was Xiahou Gang, it would be useless for him to recommend himself, so at the moment, he just watched a few scouts from his own side quickly move towards the middle ground.
The first few scouts sent by Xiahou Gang were fast and agile in the swamp. However, in terms of concealment skills, in Jiang Xuan's opinion, it was a little worse, and it was easy to attract the attention of the enemy.
Several scouts quickly plunged into the vast purple miasma, and no trace was to be seen.
The entire army did not move, and Xiahou Gang, as the master commander's dominant eye, appeared in the void.
In the one-third area controlled by the White Army, he can arbitrarily mobilize various traps and even manipulate the weather.
This is about the same as the control of the general war chessboard, the biggest difference is that the general war chessboard, he can control even the soldiers to a large extent, but in the selection, this is impossible.
The purpose of selection is to see the performance of each contestant in their respective positions, and it is naturally impossible to let the manager control the overall situation.
This has increased the variables of the war situation and made the direction of the war even more confusing.
Soon after the scouts stepped into the middle ground, one of them screamed, and then everyone sensed that one of them had broken his shield!
Out!
As soon as he entered the middle ground, one of the scouts was eliminated by an unknown danger, and he was teleported out of the battle board on the spot, and he didn't even have time to send back the information!
This made many monks frown, which was not a good thing.
Xiahou Gang was very calm, and immediately asked about the movements of the scouts on the other roads, but fortunately, someone soon rushed back from the purple miasma.
"Tell the boss, a swampy lake in front of you occupies a vast area, and there are a huge number of 'ghost-faced mosquitoes' living in the lake!"
The scout reported truthfully, and when many monks heard this, their faces changed slightly.
The ghost-faced mosquito is a very ferocious demon insect, and the number usually appears in units of 100,000.
No wonder there were scouts who hung up so quickly before, if they accidentally alarmed the ghost face pattern, in terms of the thin protective shield on everyone's body, it was not broken in the blink of an eye.
"Is the area covered by the ghost-faced mosquitoes wide, and how long does it take to get around the swampy lake?"
Xia Hougang asked when he heard this.
"The ghost-faced mosquitoes inhabit the water, and with the low visibility ahead, I can't be sure how far they cover. If we were to go around the swampy lake, not to mention whether there was danger in other directions, it would have been delayed for a long time. ”
The scout hesitated and replied.
Both armies must want to capture the middle ground first, so bypassing the swamp lake is not a wise choice and will most likely delay the first opportunity.
"In that case, send someone to explore the way and quickly clear a way!"
Xia Hougang's eyes burst with essence.
Hearing his words, the faces of many monks in front of the battle formation changed.
The person who is exploring the way ahead is definitely a cannon fodder-like existence, and it can be said that he uses his own corpse to open the way.
This is indeed the most convenient and effective way, but those who are selected to walk in front will inevitably face a large number of ghost-faced mosquitoes, both dead and alive.
As soon as he started the game, he died tragically under the ghost-faced mosquito, how could he leave an impression on the examiner?
Therefore, for a while, everyone secretly prayed that they would not be picked on this suicidal task.
"The attacking soldiers Wu Liangyou, Jiang Xuan, Wei Rong, and Shen Gongquan all obey the order, and you take the lead to open the way!"
Xiahou Gang's voice quickly spread throughout the army, and Jiang Xuan's name was prominently listed.
For a while, those who were not selected were very happy, and the few who were unfortunately selected were smiling bitterly at each other.
"I'm going to be cannon fodder now. ”
Wei Rong reluctantly walked out of the team, and the other three, including Jiang Xuan, also walked out.
After Xiahou Gang finished clicking his name, his eyes looked at Jiang Xuan in the jungle, and he was secretly proud in his heart.
No one can criticize his current strategy, and Jiang Xuan is not the only one who has been picked, who can say that he is a communiqué personal vendetta?
Except for Jiang Xuan himself, no one would be able to see his small means at all.
Thinking that the guy who had humiliated himself was about to become cannon fodder at the beginning of the battle, Xia Hougang couldn't help but stare at him carefully, hoping to see the embarrassed expression on his face.
However, unexpectedly, among the four people who came out of the crowd, he suddenly found that Jiang Xuan was the most calm one.
"Hmph, I'm pretty good at pretending. ”
He was a little disappointed when he didn't see the imaginary expression, but he couldn't help but look forward to the pitiful appearance of the person who was out when Jiang Xuan was wiped out by the ghost-faced mosquito.
