Dark Sand: My Players Are All Actors-Chapter 560 - 282 Who is the Regulator?_2
...
Earlier on.
Ranger was on top of the city wall, exuding moral integrity.
"Martial men bear courage and resolve, reining horses in the Central Plains. Arms and armor thick as forests, Longswords thrust with no restraint!"
As he chanted, the soldiers who were player characters felt as if a powerful force surged within them, erasing all hesitation and fear and replacing them with calm and perseverance.
Moreover, their swords and spears seemed to have gained an enhancement, glinting sharply. Under the influence of moral integrity, they more easily pierced through the armor of demons and monsters.
But... A scholar player who suddenly grew to several meters tall still seemed a bit too conspicuous on the city wall.
The moment Ranger grew to enormous size, Feilian, who had been observing from the shadows, became excited.
"It’s him! It’s definitely him!
"He is very likely the Reclaimer!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Feilian’s excitement was precisely because Ranger perfectly matched his speculation about the mysterious Reclaimer.
This Reclaimer showed immense intelligence in the instance of the Great Sheng Dynasty, rapidly solving all the puzzles and misdirections that it had laid out.
This Reclaimer likely wasn’t skilled in combat himself but excelled at enhancing other natives, most often using moral integrity to achieve this.
In any case, Ranger’s image perfectly aligned with that of the Reclaimer.
Especially his commanding and composed demeanor on the ramparts was identical to that of past Reclaimers.
Another point was that Feilian vaguely felt he recognized this person, who must have participated in many battles before.
Feilian had already realized that if the battle continued in this way, with steady attrition, it would most likely be the demons and monsters who would lose.
But if they could just expose and kill the Reclaimer, then the situation might instantly reverse!
Of course, there was still a significant doubt.
Why were the natives weakened at first only to have a new group of natives enhanced?
Wasn’t it better to keep enhancing that highly capable soldier in the shadows?
However, after some thought, Feilian guessed that it might be because the Reclaimer could maximize the strength of his men by utilizing moral integrity since he was most adept at it.
Enhancing others was merely to create a misleading effect, and by enhancing himself now, he aimed to covertly inflict more damage on the demons.
The Reclaimer was betting that the demons wouldn’t dare to charge fiercely, while the demons were gambling that he was indeed the Reclaimer!
Xingtian could no longer hold back; it also felt humiliated by the one-sided beating, so the moment Feilian proposed the idea, Xingtian immediately agreed.
All the demon soldiers, as if driven mad, pounced towards Ranger on the city wall!
Ranger himself was shocked.
"What’s going on? Does a scholar enhanced with power come with a taunt effect?"
When Zhao Haiping was enhanced, the monsters had been quite normal. Why did they go berserk now, as if they were on drugs, desperate to attack even though they had to scale the city walls?
But after a brief moment of astonishment, Ranger actually laughed, "Focus fire!
"Let the White Feather Arrows fly before the cannons, as Jin armors shine bright like the morning sun!"
The sky seemed to sprinkle down the radiance of the early sun over a vast area on the city wall, enveloping all the players within it.
With the more abundant blessing of moral integrity, the players’ arrows, cannons, and armor were all enhanced!
Most of the soldiers on the ramparts had chosen bows and arrows as their weapons, in addition to many Ranger and assassin players operating crossbows and Divine Arm Bows on the city walls, not to mention the Divine Machine players’ cannons.
The frenzied siege of the monsters was exactly what they had hoped for, as arrows and cannonballs fell like rain!
But then, several massive demon soldiers appeared one after another, and although they were shot down by falling cannonballs and arrows, they bought time for the other demons.
Amid the insane assault of the monsters, the situation atop the city walls became perilous once again!
"Hold the line!"
Many players quickly put down their bows and picked up Longspears, engaging in close combat with the assaulting demon soldiers.
Just as numerous demons surged towards Ranger, suddenly, a brilliant light burst overhead, and a golden beam of moral integrity descended from the sky!
And within this beam of moral integrity, a figure appeared.
He was tall and held a Longsword. Though his gaze still held some confusion, his overwhelming presence was unmistakable.
Yu Jiaxuan!
Hero summoning!
He pointed his Longsword diagonally upward and recited loudly, "A steed fleet as Lu, the bowstring thrums like thunderous fright!"
In that instant, all Cavalry players felt a surge of powerful moral integrity fill them, and their steeds instantly became invigorated!
Their speed, impact force, defense, and more, all greatly enhanced!
And those players using bows, including those with the Divine Arm Bow, were also significantly strengthened.
The players quickly realized that Yu Jiaxuan was not only a warrior capable of solo raids into enemy camp but also a literary figure renowned through the ages!
This poetry was already known for its fitting meaning, and it greatly amplified the players’ abilities when used with moral integrity.
And now, with the original author himself reciting it, the effect had increased manifold!
On the battlefields outside the city, the Cavalry players became invincible, rampaging through the enemy ranks like tigers among sheep.
And atop the ramparts, countless players armed themselves with various bows and arrows, releasing a torrent of them upon the demons below.
The "thwack" and "thud" of arrows were unending, these enhanced arrows easily piercing the Demonic Qi that protected the monsters, and through their armor.
