Dark Sand: My Players Are All Actors-Chapter 562 - 283: The New Dynasty

With the entry of the gigantic players and the heroic spirits into the battlefield, the situation began to change.

The decision of the demons to attack Linyuan City at all costs also began to show significant negative effects. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

While the players were engaged in fierce battle for the purpose of ascending the ranks and growing in size, the tide on all three fronts had turned.

Several times, Linyuan City teetered on the brink of collapse, but the pressure was greatly relieved with the addition of the heroic spirits, and the city managed to hold on.

The two Guard Cities had previously been on the verge of falling, and players had even prepared to abandon them. But when the demons suddenly concentrated their forces to attack Linyuan City, the pressure on the Guard Cities reduced dramatically. Players took the opportunity to support from the bridges, which allowed the two Guard Cities to turn the tide and regain stability.

They were even able to launch counterattacks from the Guard Cities and cut off the demons’ retreat.

As for General Han Fuyue, who stood unshakably at the very center of the battlefield, and the Cavalry and Divine Machine troops who constantly harassed the demon’s flanks, their pressure was greatly reduced.

This army of Cavalry and Divine Machine players, roaming around the battlefield, seemed to enter a land with no resistances, crushing the loosely formed and weak demonic soldiers in direct assaults and then moving on to fight elsewhere; and when faced with a major attack by the demons, they would set down the Divine Machine players to establish the Firearms Formations, dealing widespread damage to them.

The situation for the demons was already not optimistic, and it worsened further after the decision to attack Linyuan City due to their reliance on sheer numbers to gain an upper hand.

In the sky, Xingtian glanced at the gigantic Zhao Haiping and then at Fei Lian.

Looking at Zhao Haiping, then back at Fei Lian.

A deep dissatisfaction filled its gaze.

Clearly, it was highly dissatisfied with Fei Lian’s previous command.

Wasn’t it said that the literati player was surely the Restorer himself?

Not at all!

Instead, this Zhao Haiping, the more one looked, the more he seemed like the Restorer.

Xingtian also believed that the Restorer must have something special, and Zhao Haiping’s performance was certainly eye-catching.

He was the only one among all the original-resident phantoms who had grown large twice.

He had previously broken into the demons’ formation and miraculously rode back to the city alone, and although he seemed exhausted multiple times, he would recover to full state due to the buff of the heroic spirits.

His combat skills were very exquisite; even compared with previous Restorers, they were top-notch.

Moreover, this person seemed to have appeared several times, leaving a certain impression on the demons.

Perhaps...

If one were to think from another’s perspective, could it be that the Restorer was playing a game of "darkness beneath the light"?

First of all, one thing was certain, the Restorers were mostly individuals of remarkable talent. Very smart, and definitely specialized in certain areas.

And to defeat the demons, such an excellent Restorer would certainly want to maximize his combat power.

Since he was the most capable fighter, it naturally made the most sense to keep his power to himself rather than distribute it to others.

Then...

Perhaps the Restorer intentionally created a false impression, leading the demons to believe he was someone unskilled in combat, only adept at solving riddles, hiding in the shadows, and not one to show himself often?

In this case, the demons would scour among the many original-resident phantoms to find him.

However, the Restorer himself turned out to be acting like a brave original-resident phantom, personally fighting on the front lines, which made him even safer...

Thinking of this, the more Xingtian watched Zhao Haiping, the more he resembled the Restorer.

Even to the point where this image perfectly matched that of many past prodigious Restorers!

For a Restorer, intelligence was certainly important, but a strong combat power was also indispensable.

After all, in most historical snapshots, powerful force was needed to break through.

And this person seemed brave and tactful, capable of leading troops into battle, charging into enemy lines alone, and he appeared to be very sharp-witted.

Such a genius, the probability of being the Restorer was very high!

Xingtian couldn’t help but cast a contemptuous glance at Fei Lian.

You thought you had brains, smarter than me.

Now it seems, your cleverness has misled your own wisdom!

The Restorer deliberately disguised himself, and you foolishly fell for it.

But in reality, wasn’t the Restorer right under your nose, wreaking havoc?

Contemplating this, Xingtian could no longer contain itself.

At this moment, there were two great demons on the battlefield, it and Fei Lian, with their Demonic Qi merged together. Technically, any decision Xingtian made should be discussed with Fei Lian first.

But now, Xingtian no longer trusted Fei Lian; it felt Fei Lian’s advice was useless and only hindered more than helped.

Thus, its body instantly plummeted from the rolling dark clouds above like a falling meteor!

...

Gigantic Zhao Haiping was revelling in the heat of battle when he suddenly saw the sky in the distance splitting open.

A huge meteor with a long tail of fire tore through the endless dark clouds, hurtling toward him!

Unlike ordinary meteors, this one, while also emitting faint glimmers of fire, was primarily enveloped by Demonic Qi, with a tail showing deep black color, indicative of the high density of Demonic Qi.

"What’s going on?" exclaimed Zhao Haiping, looking around in bewilderment.

In front of him, the military formations of the heroic spirit General Han Fuyue stood firm like rocks against the sea waves, seemingly perilous yet withstanding the assault of wind and waves, unyielding.

Farther afield, the Cavalry and Divine Machine troops were slaying fiercely within the demons’ midst.

Behind him, Linyuan City was brimming with dense packs of valiantly fighting players.
