Chapter 1552: 397: Strange Tactics, Creating Miracles

Imperial Tomb Village Library. While discussions about the Civilization Space Dungeon were raging on the forums, Ding Qi was in the library’s reading room consulting materials.

On the large desk in front of him were stacks of various books he had just taken from the shelves.

All were about content related to "weak defeating strong."

He had a thorough understanding of this Civilization Space Dungeon.

But what truly captivated him was the top-tier hunting ground, Reversing Tide Battlefield, connected by a teleportation array set up by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.

The intensity there was simply not something players at this stage could tread upon.

All three forces were divine-level entities, and the aftermath of their chaotic battles alone could easily wipe out the players.

But he did not care about the risk; he just wanted to know how to survive there and how to profit from the battlefield.

He rapidly skimmed materials about the Reverse Tide Army structure, traits of Black Tide Demonic Spirits, the Soul Returning Clan’s war strategies, with his brain working at full speed, trying to piece together a feasible entry strategy from the sea of fragmented information.

In terms of war intensity, there were quite a few demigod-level powerhouses on this battlefield.

Apart from the commander of Reverse Tide, there was also the battle formation constructed by Reverse Tide warriors.

It’s the Ant to Dragon Power, which can push combined strength to its limits, matching a demigod with ease.

The specific strength depends on the scale of the battle formation.

Through the training camp perspective of the Liver Emperor Group, it can be inferred that the Reverse Tide Army can even generate divine-level formations.

Under such formations, individual Reverse Tide warriors become insignificant, like cells in the blood of a Battle Array God.

And this level of power exists in all three factions.

The Black Tide Army was already well familiar to them.

Referring to Earth Thought Bully, it can decompose a group of evil spirits at any time, then fuse into a stronger one.

As long as there’s sufficient Black Tide Energy, theoretically, the power of this fusion can rise infinitely.

The same logic applies to the Soul Returning Clan.

The powerful plasticity of soul beasts makes them the optimal choice for a controllable pet in the eyes of the forum players.

And this plasticity can also become a quick assist to forming strong individual units on the Reversing Tide Battlefield.

For instance, devouring and merging among soul beasts, or a connection method named "Soul Return."

Although the mode of increasing combat power completely differs from the Reverse Tide Army’s battle array system, it’s a comparable way of accumulating power.

Players entering the Reversing Tide Battlefield, when encountering such fused power units, would only be instantly killed.

The only feasible path is west of the teleportation array, an edge battlefield zone with relatively lower war intensity.

It’s primarily where Soul Returning Clan and Reverse Tide Army hone their skills, though occasionally infiltrated by Black Tide forces.

Small battle formations, small-scale fusion soul beasts, Black Tide bursting soldiers, are the mainstream combat modes on the edge battlefield.

There’s an unspoken understanding in training; generally, no demigods intervene.

But occasionally, forces that disrupt the balance appear.

For example, Commander Floating Tomb, who appeared early on in the Liver Emperor Group’s livestream, once intervened aggressively because the Soul Returning Clan was the first to break the rules.

But such interventions are more a symbolic warning, with everyone getting the hint and continuing to follow the rules.

The mutual farm here mainly refers to the Reverse Tide Army and the Soul Returning Clan.

The Soul Returning Clan needs top warriors with firm willpower and comprehensive battle experience from the Reverse Tide Army, who serve as reserve war power after being parasitically possessed.

The Reverse Tide Army needs war, as only sustained war can infinitely yield War Power derived from the rules.

Being a training ground, the edge battlefield benefits both the Soul Returning Clan and Reverse Tide Army.

But to set foot on that edge battlefield, players at least need base combat power equivalent to Hunting Level 240.

This is merely the minimum cannon-fodder-level benchmark; even if successfully entering, the most likely outcome is instant evaporation by unnoticed energy splash or area attack, not even knowing how they died.

Ding Qi’s fingers placed on the book, following the text with his sight.

From the analysis over these days, what could be confirmed is.

Forcing one’s way onto the battlefield is meaningless.

The player’s resurrection mechanism might become a torment on the Reversing Tide Battlefield.

Getting instant-killed upon entering, reviving to fight again after the Little Black House cooldown ends, there’s no experience to be had, let alone profit.

The only proven viable method is the "attached" combat mode.

The Liver Emperor Group is an example; they have already become part of the Reverse Tide Army’s external warfare.

But to be accepted by the Reverse Tide Army, to become part of this efficient war machine, one must meet extremely rigorous conditions and gain recognition through numerous challenges.

The Liver Emperor Group took two and a half years to reach this point.

Meanwhile, the guild warband he formed had grown to 6838 members, making it impossible for everyone to be selected by the Reverse Tide Army as trainees.

The trainee slots offered by Reverse Tide to the Player Clan are akin to a drop in the ocean given the growing player base.

This path is evidently unworkable.

There is, however, a way to narrow the combat power gap.

That is by constructing a ten-thousand-man-level battle formation, allowing all warband members to combine their strengths, generating a Battle Array Dharma Form to participate in battle.

Yet, the combat power of this Battle Array Dharma Form would still be categorized at cannon-fodder level.

Reflecting on this, he thought to gain footing on the battlefield, the attribute configuration of the battle formation would need to follow an assassin style stealth approach, searching for vulnerable targets on the battlefield.

But the problem is, how to stealthily approach.

The Black Tide has Assistant Eyes that can discern the entire field, and the Soul Returning Clan has similar abilities.
