During this time, I repeatedly inquired about the progress of the war.
In response, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit solemnly stated that the Player Clan's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, and with each soldier generated, a portion of the resources was stolen.
As the war was about to end, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit began to consider how to retreat.
Although it could directly throw the mess at the Blue-Skinned Evil Eye and let it fend for itself, there's no guarantee that the Blue-Skinned Evil Eye wouldn't review the war logs after reconnecting with the Tower.
This part, the Evil Eye following him has already modified.
But there is still potential for exposure.
It would be better to simply kill off the Blue-Skinned Evil Eye before leaving to eliminate future troubles.
"Evil Eye, what do you think?" the Earth Thought Evil Spirit asked at this moment.
"I agree with your decision, but it's best if our projections die together, not returning early, proving that we fought to the end."
"Alright."
The view now switches to the front battlefields.
Realizing that the Evil Eye Domain is about to be breached, more and more players have entered the Evil Moon Domain in the past two days.
With a fleeting thought, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit began generating Surge and Death Disaster Series soldiers, kicking off another round of fierce confrontation.
During this process, the Evil Eye collected player information for him in real time.
"Evil Eye, have you noticed a problem? While creating the Black Tide·Player, we collected a lot of player facial feature information, and found that many players' appearances are very similar, even identical..."
Facing the inquiry, the Evil Eye nodded calmly:
"Indeed, there are many similar appearances, but their abilities and life strengths are not the same."
Saying so, the Evil Eye input a large amount of information into the Earth Thought Evil Spirit's mind.
The information records are feature comparisons of players with the same appearance on the battlefield.
For example, a player in blue clothing who appeared several times in the Evil Moon Domain.
But apart from the same appearance, other characteristics changed immensely.
The first appearance was in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, where this player's ability was to shoot lightning orbs, with a Qi-Blood strength of 23.7 and spiritual strength of 82.82.
The second appearance was in the Bright Star Sea Area's Evil Moon Domain, where this player used a dagger to roam and kill Black Tide Demonic Spirits, with both Qi-Blood and spiritual strength values exceeding 100.
Many subsequent appearances were in the Evil Moon Domain below, where this player had the characteristic ability similar to the Black Tide Disaster Series soldiers' damage-taking ability, responsible for securing output space for other players.
One can see significant changes in both combat style and life strength.
The only unchanged aspect is the player's appearance.
"It can be confirmed that some players only have the same appearance, but their other features differ, though there is also a batch with the same abilities but significant differences in life strength," the Evil Eye explained at this point.
After listening to the Evil Eye's explanation, the Earth Thought nodded in understanding.
He was merely curious about the high similarity rate of players' appearances and didn't care about why this happened.
Either way, the players are opponents in his eyes.
This similar appearance information can't provide any help in defeating the players, it's just adding another piece to the "Player Information Library" established for them, perhaps useful in the future.
After unraveling this puzzle, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit continued to control the Black Tide to fight against the players.
During this, it once again deployed mental interference tactics and Treasure Box Strategy.
Field-tested, these two strategies can have significant impacts on players.
Firstly, the mental interference tactic, in the face of his taunting lines, the players' attacking methods become aggressively rash, and irrational in battle, allowing him to easily manipulate the players' emotions.
Secondly, every use of the Treasure Box Strategy can disrupt player formations, causing internal chaos.
These are in his view the two major weaknesses of the Player Clan.
It even made him think that the Player Corps didn't have strict and effective discipline management.
In contrast, although Insect Race soldiers lack intelligence, under the main brain's control, they don't succumb to emotional influence or external interference.
Yet, this unorganized, undisciplined, belligerent and reckless force holds the perfect counter to the Black Tide's decomposition ability.
And also possesses a series of difficult-to-counter rules system capabilities.
Giving him the feeling of a group of fools wielding high-end combat technology.
As if they're the natural nemesis of the Black Tide, truly causing him a headache.
Now he only hopes that after the Evil Moon Domain war ends, the Player Clan's target won't return to the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.
If they actually do return, he can only once again activate the Catastrophe Series soldiers tactics to minimize attrition losses.
The Player Clan members enjoy fighting, he won't let the Player Clan have their way.
However worse it goes, however disgusted they become, make the Player Clan willingly abandon the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.
If it really doesn't work, the horizontal expansion plan will be activated.
Although this will lose the territory's strategic depth, it at least allows development resources instead of solely relying on resources produced by Domain Nodes.
The resource income from this is barely enough to maintain the scale.
If they continue with this attrition with Player Clan and Combat Insect Clan, completely mired in the war, it won't be long until they can't handle the consumption, and the controlled Black Tide will weaken.
This is also the most frustrating to it.
As a Black Tide Commander, to suffer defeat in an attrition war is an absolute disgrace.
"Earth Thought, no need to be upset, you're just an insignificant commanding warrior in the Black Tide, but you're facing the Player Corps with endless support power, opposing a force mastering various rule powers, your performance has already been very good."
"Thanks." the Earth Thought Evil Spirit responded irritably.
"You're welcome, soothing your emotions is my duty. If saying so can make you feel happy, I can say a few more things, maybe even some fabricated encouragement that might be more effective." The Evil Eye's projection blinked then continued:
"Actually, you're the best Evil Spirit Warrior I've ever seen, always strategizing in every war, your insight is unparalleled, always capturing key moments on the ever-changing battlefield, your wisdom sends shivers down the Player Clan's spine, able to build perfectly countering Evil Spirit armies and tactics based on the Player Clan's characteristics, truly deserving the title of Potential Warrior from the Abyss."
After praising, the Evil Eye appeared somewhat curious:
"Earth Thought, do you feel a wave of pleasant emotion swirling inside?"
After hearing the praise, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was dumbfounded, realizing it underestimated the Evil Eye.
Compared to the Player Clan's taunts towards him, this one beside him is the real master of mockery, especially with that innocent look...his emotions stirred.
"Earth Thought, you haven't told me...."
"Shut up, you idiot."
"'Idiot' is a common insult term used by the Player Clan, you've been using it too frequently lately, possibly influenced by the Player Clan, and I don't recommend continuing to use it, this might be an unknown mental pollution, subtly changing your cognition and habits."
"Idiot Evil Eye, you're an idiot!"
"Alright, I'll be the idiot from now on, you can call me that, my mother didn't give me a name, I appreciate your naming."
Earth Thought:...
