Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1245 - 327: Prelude to War, No Sense of Accomplishment (4)
Just because the weak can also provide assistance for war, the Mingwu Clan previously adopted a purely war plundering model.
There is no mode of logistical support and upward nourishment. They obtained resources to support the entire clan by continuously waging wars, plundering wherever they went.
Two models exist, Shuyan also occupies one of them, but still at a starting stage.
The Ascension Clan does not occupy any.
Neither the "reverse momentum to cut down the heavens" war system that gathers strength nor a nurturing system where the weak supports the strong.
Only an elite cultivation model, with a shallow understanding of war.
In the Small World, this system is feasible.
But in the Monster World, where there is a very high disparity in power, the weak can only become cannon fodder, without value.
In front of the war machine that is the Mingwu Clan, forged through countless wars, the Ascension Clan is defeated one-sidedly.
Shuyan can at least switch systems and gain a slight structural advantage in war, but the Ascension Clan is at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, war mode, system restraint, and other aspects.
Upon initial confrontation, the Ascension Clan can only dispatch strong members to the forefront.
In this initial contact stage of the war, Qi Sheng can roughly judge the future trajectory.
Only two paths are left for the Ascension Clan.
Abandon their clan land and Breeding Farm world, even the resources stored on the island, and exile to the open sea.
Or march towards Destruction under the tidal wave of Mingwu.
However, Qi Sheng has always considered Shuyan to be a small force with great potential.
From the weaker side of the past, it has now become the dominant force over the Ascension Clan, coupled with having the completion base of the inspiration world system.
Judging from future potential, it may even be stronger than the Mingwu Clan.
Although Shuyan takes a war-driven-by-war route, striving for self-breakthrough in desperate situations, it is not foolish.
After failing to counter the Black Tide back then, it switched to the Ascension Sea to seek development.
Unable to defeat the Mingwu Clan, it's likely that Shuyan will switch Books again, move to a new region for combat.
Back then, choosing the Ascension Clan as the challenge target seemed reckless, but it had already investigated the relevant information about the Ascension Clan, even infiltrated their Breeding Farm world.
It was only upon ensuring that it had confidence, did Shuyan launch a war against the Ascension Clan.
Having not left for now, Shuyan is evidently probing the war potential of the Mingwu Clan, searching for the possibility of having a fight.
As long as Shuyan finds a plan for a protracted war, it will, like when it fought against the Ascension Clan, absorb the Mingwu Clan's nutrients and grow rapidly.
If Shuyan really withstands the pressure, the villain "Ascension Clan" in the Rulebook story will then become the Mingwu Clan.
The news of the three-party war quickly spread to the Player Forum.
Players have three major hobbies: eating melon, picking up leaks, and striking luck.
Faced with such an important event, players from all walks went out to sea, war reporters soon started live commentary mode.
In the eyes of other races, this is a war for the rise and continuity of civilization.
But in the eyes of players, it's a delicious melon, best served bloody.
The more intense the better, never stop.
More players formed battlefield scavenger groups to go out, wanting to take a share in the chaotic situation.
Today's players are no longer the once weak players who could only hide in the Domain's mist watching the Ascension Clan and Shuyan fight, unable to participate.
The first-tier players now have the ability to join the fray.
Though unable to confront the three factions head-on, players never intended to fight directly, picking up leaks is all about benefiting while others struggle.
Finishing off the injured, scavenging the battlefield, chaotic sneakiness... this is the fun of leak-picking players.
The more chaotic, the more profitable.
During this period, the embedding count of the Oath Space surged significantly.
Because this Life Soul is known as the battlefield scavenger's divine artifact.
Numerous assassin stream and competition faction players embed it for use, then head to the battlefield to find injured targets.
Especially assassin stream players, previously when ambushing to decapitate, they had to worry about whether they could kill the target or escape afterward.
But with the Oath Space, this problem is no longer a concern.
With the blessing of the newly launched "Quantification" rule, the injured is clear at a glance.
Just quickly approach, release the Oath Space to forcefully pull injured targets into Independent Space, and then it's harvesting time.
As for whether one might be ambushed and killed afterward, this problem is also not a concern.
In the chaotic battle, each faction's combat units are constantly moving, even if members disappear, it's impossible to camp and wait.
After the battle ends, the assassin stream players only need to activate Dusk Shadow, enter Stealth mode to find the next injured target.
The only headache for players is the main battle line direction, where some Mingwu Warriors share a Life Connection trait, distributing damage among themselves.
This makes it difficult to find injured targets on the main battle line, forcing abandonment of the fiercest main battle line to choose other lines for picking leaks.
Mingwu Warriors, Shuyan Warriors, Ascension Warriors... these are all targets for leak-picking in the eyes of players.
As one forum assassin stream player put it: if they're injured, they're mine to kill!
This is the reason players enjoy chaotic situations.
Apart from injured units, weapons and equipment falling into the sea during wars and floating wreckage of war machinery are also part of the gains.
The arrival of war has shown many players the chance for wealth and prosperity.
…
The great war continues, but victory or defeat is still some time away.
Not focusing much on the three-way mixed sea battle, Qi Sheng's perspective quickly rises, piercing the clouds returning to the map interface.
