Dark Sand: My Players Are All Actors

Chapter 343: Summoning the Heroic Spirits


The gamer-players followed Lord Qin and charged down the hillside, cutting right through the heart of the demon army!

Behead, truncate, sever the center.

They had completed a standard separation procedure.

If it were a normal human army, by this point it would have already utterly collapsed.

But the organization of the demonic forces was indeed too strong, with each demon soldier being fearless of death and not shrinking away due to the situation on the battlefield. Incredibly, they did not fall into chaos like regular soldiers but continued to fight to the death.

However, this did not mean that Lord Qin's tactics were ineffective, because the strike wasn't just against morale, but also against formation.

In the age of cold weapons, formation was key to victory or defeat.

A side with orderly formation fighting against a side with chaotic arrangement could secure a massive advantage; this can be simply understood as the orderly side always fighting in local superiority, defeating enemies one by one.

Imagine two sides' infantry fighting; both armed with long spears. One side forms a long spear formation with strict discipline, while the other is disordered. In that case, the strictly arranged side can simultaneously thrust their spears to impale the scattered enemy soldiers, whereas the scattered soldiers could hardly inflict damage on a complete formation.

So, the gap in formation often becomes a crucial factor contributing to a huge disparity in casualties in the age of cold weapons.

Although the demons could enhance all the demon soldiers' will to fight, making them fearless of death, the disrupted formation could not possibly recover.

Thus, the gamer-players quickly gained the upper hand.

And those following closely behind Lord Qin once again witnessed what it meant to be a human-shaped Gundam.

Before even engaging in battle, Lord Qin had already drawn his oversized great bow, pulling the string taut like a full moon.

"Whoosh!"

The massive arrow flew forth, and a Korean Cavalryman immediately fell at the sound!

Many gamers followed Lord Qin's lead, starting to shoot from horseback, piercing through the heart of the demon force's central ranks with their first cavalry charge.

This was the demons' central command area, with equipment that was not particularly excellent, so they had no good means of resistance against this elite cavalry.

Following this, both sides began to engage at close quarters!

Lord Qin charged to the foremost front, casually drawing out an extended version of the Liang blade from his waist.

With a single swing, it was like slicing through melons and vegetables!

Watching Lord Qin's figure, the gamers couldn't help but exclaim. Now this was what you called a real cheater! No matter how much they trained, gamers probably couldn't achieve such a level.

Actually, the gamers had also seen some top-notch players demonstrate their outrageous performances on the battlefield, like Zhao Haiping and Fan Cun among others. These people's combat skills were indeed exquisite, and if they were in ancient times, they would be considered legendary warriors of their era.

But at best, they were the top talents of their time, while what about Lord Qin? He could be counted as one who stood out amongst all the talents of all eras combined.

Lord Qin in battle could only be described with four words: as if taking a casual stroll.

Actually, many people don't understand why these ferocious, battle-tested warriors, who charge forward ahead of their troops every time, can still survive each battle completely unscathed.

Logically, if you charge alone into an army of tens of thousands, are those tens of thousands all pigs? If one person strikes at you, you would have been done for long ago.

This is obviously a misunderstanding of ordinary people.

In reality, in the eyes of a true warrior, the battlefield looks entirely different from what ordinary people see.

Even in the midst of a chaotic battlefield, with screams and clashing swords and spears, arrows flying everywhere, most of it poses no threat at all.

For instance, a long spear ten meters away, a large saber five meters distant, or an arrow shot from who knows where many meters away… these aren't actually that much of a threat. What you really need to pay attention to is the blade chopping at you or the spear thrusting towards you right in front of you.

So, these fierce fighters only need to keep an eye on the immediate situation and properly take out the enemies that could threaten them.

Continuing this cycle over and over ensures their unbeatable position on the battlefield.

Instead, it's the stray arrows, which are outside their vigilance range, that are more likely to hit them.

And right now, Lord Qin was showcasing his bravery to its fullest extent.

He had two Liang blades strapped to his waist, both tailored for horse combat and extended versions. Of course, he didn't use two blades simultaneously; the reason for having a second was as a precaution.

If one of the blades got a rolled edge, he could then draw the other one to continue chopping.

History records regarding his battle with Song Laoseng stated, "The Emperor was hit by a stray arrow, he pulled it out and resumed fighting. With his hands, he killed dozens of men, both blades broke, blood flowed into his sleeves, yet he shook it off and kept on fighting."

With Lord Qin leading by example, naturally, the gamers were also fired up, repeatedly charging and wreaking havoc within the demon soldiers' central formation!

...

From a high vantage point, several major demons were also watching the battlefield.

At this moment, they each still had plenty of Demonic Qi to invest in the battle, but the problem was that the Organizers had yet to make a move.

And in the first round of confrontation, it was evidently the Organizers who had taken the advantage.

Under Lord Qin's lead, the fresh troops blossomed in the center, stirring the demon soldiers' formation into disarray. And in the front, the demon elite were held back by the Organizers' Mo Blade Team, elite infantry, and Divine Machine troops, unable to make any progress; while at the rear, the gamers' cavalry cut through the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables, pushing forward.

Although the demons outnumbered them, under such circumstances, sheer numbers no longer held decisive power.

"What should we do?"

All three major demons lapsed into silence.

Every time they tried to gain the upper hand in the initial probing, if successful, the Organizers would have to transform their formation, granting them a significant advantage. Yet every attempt ended in failure.
