Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1127 - 301: Guild Benefits, Battle Formation Debuts
"So impressive!" Dark Night Will Come couldn't help but exclaim.
The initial pairing test showed the battle formation effects to be truly stunning.
But good looks are useless in Monster World; the most important thing is the combat effectiveness during the battle test.
His consciousness tapped the battle test interface, selected a low-difficulty Ancient Battlefield map, and clicked confirm.
Suddenly, a prompt popped up in his mind:
[Battle test initiated, please select test mode: Spectator Mode/Captain Mode (in Captain Mode, you will lead the battle formation squad into battle).]
After a brief consideration, Dark Night Will Come decided to experience it in Spectator Mode first.
After making the choice, the scenery of the Martial Arts Arena twisted and faded like washed-out ink.
When vision became clear again, a biting north wind mixed with the smell of blood hit his face, and the deafening cries of battle filled the ears like a tide.
The ground was trembling beneath his feet, and looking up, the black mass of enemy formations surged forward like a tide.
An array of thirty thousand Heavy Armor infantry charged, spears like a forest, reflecting cold gleams in the dusk.
The ground shook under the iron boots of the enemy army, and the rising dust blotted out the sky.
In Spectator Mode, there was no need for control, as the ten-member Black Armor squad that followed him into the battle test scene began to act autonomously.
"Enemy attack, form up!"
The captain of the battle formation squad shouted, raising his hand to call forth the Battle Array Mark, instantly forming up the ten members.
Beneath their feet, the Red Gold Spirit Map reappeared, and nine bloodlines connected everyone.
The blood Qi rising from the top of the skull intertwined in midair, and before the Rakshasa silhouette could fully form, a rain of enemy arrows arrived.
"Defend!"
The Rakshasa silhouette instantly enveloped the ten-member squad, arrows striking the Battle Array Dharma form, creating a dense sound like rain hitting plantain leaves.
The Rakshasa silhouette stepped forward, causing the earth to crack, and the red silhouette transformed into a burning illusion wrapped in Ink Flame.
The incoming enemy spears melted upon striking it.
Arrows rained down, turning to dust.
The Dharma form punched, creating an energy shockwave of Ink Flame+Gang Qi+Roar.
The front-line Heavy Armor enemy soldiers disintegrated mid-air before they could even scream.
With a reverse sweep, an arm swept through, cutting down a swath of mounts and warriors, flinging limbs high into the air, only to be incinerated by the burning Ink Flame ripples from the Dharma form.
An enemy commander charged with a roar, swinging a Rune Giant Sword, but the Dharma form controlled by the ten Black Armor warriors casually slapped down.
The enemy commander, with his sword, was smashed into the ground, leaving only a blur of blood and flesh embedded in the cracked earth.
The ten Black Armor warriors began to advance in unison, propelling the enveloping Rakshasa Dharma form forward, scattering the enemy forces wherever it passed.
A warrior attempted to flee, but the Dharma form roared, and the sonic waves flattened them, the fleeing soldiers exploding into blood mist.
With a stomp, the ground rippled like waves, launching hundreds of enemy soldiers into the air, where they were burned to charcoal by the released Ink Flame before they could land.
At the center of the battle array, ten Black Armor warriors maintained the Qi Blood Energy flow, the Dharma form they controlled operating like a seamless life form, with no interruption in movement.
During the spectating, Dark Night Will Come was also recording related information about the Dharma form.
This information would be used in the guide post he planned to release next.
The battle continued, and with a roar, a massive war elephant clad in Mystic Iron Armor crushed the ground as it appeared, charging like a moving mountain.
Three Energy Crossbow Cannons on the elephant's back simultaneously targeted the ten-member squad in formation, as gunners cranked their winches to adjust aim.
The front segments of the crossbows quickly charged.
Facing the incoming giant elephant, the Rakshasa Dharma form controlled by the Black Armor warriors slowly raised a hand, its palm splitting open like an abyssal maw, where endless Ink Flame surged and condensed into a giant fireball.
The chilling color of the Ink Flame seemed to compress the wrath of an entire hell within it.
The Dharma form's five fingers closed, and the fireball suddenly collapsed to an extreme, then shot out as a black rainbow piercing the sky.
Boom!
The war elephant's heavy metal armor was swiftly melted through upon contact with the compressed Ink Flame Fireball, and as the sphere penetrated its cranial cavity, the entire elephant's head exploded into a fiery rain from within.
Burning bone fragments shot out, piercing allied warriors and leaving smoking blood holes.
The headless elephant continued its forward lunge by inertia before crashing to its knees.
Ink Flame spewed from its seven orifices, melting the steel armor like wax, revealing the charred body within.
The three crossbow gunners on the elephant's back couldn't escape in time and were enveloped by the rapidly spreading Ink Flame, screaming briefly before being roasted to charcoal.
The Ink Flame did not extinguish, continuing to burn fiercely on the ground, as the war elephant's remains melted into molten iron, slowly seeping into the earth.
The Rakshasa Dharma form controlled by the ten-member squad withdrew its hand and stood, surrounded by swirling Ink Flame, resembling a Demon God descended.
The battlefield, once attacked by thirty thousand enemy soldiers, was now silent and deathly still.
The battle test concluded, and the battlefield imagery twisted and shattered, returning the scene to the Martial Arts Arena.
Data related to this battle surfaced in Dark Night Will Come's mind, and he recorded all this information in his personal document on the forum.
The spectating revealed that the strength of the Battle Array System was very high.
However, the most important aspect remained unaddressed.
That is, what kind of connection exists between players in the Battle Array System?
Do all players participate, fighting through joint control, or does the captain's will dominate, with other players serving as energy providers?
If similar to the Reverse Tide Army's battle formations, where all warriors are part of a whole, joint control is possible.
This is the reason every warrior in the Reverse Tide Training Camp undergoes continuous battle formation training before graduation, to ensure they won't become a burden to the formation.
But whether the Player System's battle formations are akin to the Reverse Tide Army remains unknown for now.
Held by curiosity, he decided next to personally try Captain Mode in the battle test.
