The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 770 - 452 A Good Method

Half Moon Bay.

After several meetings recently, they finally established their choice of attack.

At present, they have engaged in many offensive and defensive battles with the lines of defense of the rats.

Frontline Floating Tower.

A defensive tower from the Floating City that Calvin brought.

Now hovering slightly back from the frontline, conducting reconnaissance from the high sky and serving as the frontline Command Camp.

Inside the tower at the moment.

The Combat Master in charge of this area angrily slammed his hand on the table.

"These insects, even at this time, are still thinking of being perfunctory!"

Calvin looked at the frontline battle report on the table, his expression also very unpleasant.

Although the attack has already begun, the intensity is like a leisurely outing.

It's basically just throwing fireballs from a distance and firing a few Crossbow Arrows before running away. It's euphemistically called a skirmish, claiming the enemy's numbers are too vast, making temporary retreat unavoidable.

In reality, it's entirely due to a fear of sacrifice, a fear of genuine combat.

Of course, not all units are like this; these are just private forces from various noble factions.

But the problem is that too many of the city's defense force were sacrificed in the previous defensive battle.

While those remaining are still Warriors, you must admit that more are just cowards.

Under such circumstances, their attack situation is far from perfect.

It hasn't even exerted much pressure on the frontline rats. If they can't pressure the rats to dispatch more defenders, their attacks will be meaningless.

"It seems we can only resort to some foolish methods."

The Combat Master frowned and said it involuntarily.

"What method?" Calvin had no good ideas regarding the current situation.

After all, Half Moon Harbor indeed held out previously, and with the rats' deliberate blockade, the pressure wasn't too overwhelming.

In such a situation, neither the Night Watcher nor his arrival could establish greater authority.

Their influence was indeed insufficient.

Even if they were angry about the situation now, it was of no avail.

They were outsiders, after all.

Giving them command over city defense forces was already showing enough respect.

It's impossible to let them fully command the private forces of others.

"You ought to have some understanding of the Night Watcher hierarchy, don't you?" the Combat Master asked.

Although they'd been working together for a while, the two sides mostly focused on warfare exchanges, and combined with coordinating various forces, their mutual understanding wasn't deep.

Calvin nodded; he understood this aspect.

"You're talking about positions like Captain, Combat Master?"

The Combat Master nodded.

For normal Night Watchers, the highest position they can usually achieve is Combat Master.

As long as they're willing to learn and participate in battles, reaching the level of Combat Master isn't too difficult over years of practice.

But rising further becomes very hard.

Tactical Masters need to possess Combat Master's abilities and also have a strategic perspective, command capabilities, and tactical skills.

The Night Watchers comprehensively review all Combat Masters internally.

For example, if one's strength is merely purely strong, their rank basically gets fixed at the Combat Master level.

The usual direction for endeavors is to become a Soul Guardian and establish their own squad.

Generally, Combat Masters commanding their own 5-member squad are mostly no problem.

Even Raelia can do this very perfectly.

Of course, the real commander in Raelia's team might be her sister. Abis is already a Tactical Master.

Those with higher command abilities and potential are only sent to key positions to assume commands during their period as a Combat Master.

Like the Combat Master responsible for Half Moon Bay and those for the Green Land Kingdom.

As long as they deliver appropriate achievements in these aspects, they would be promoted to actual Tactical Masters.

The Night Watcher lacks enough Tactical Masters overall in this regard.

The Combat Master in front reported some of his operational ideas upward and soon received approval for 6 slots.

"There are actually 6 slots? Isn't that quite a lot?"

The Combat Master felt a bit puzzled.

"What?" Calvin was somewhat confused. Although he did join the Night Watcher, he joined remotely, never actually visiting the Eastern Wilderness, nor truly immersing into the Night Watcher system.

He knew very little about the entire Night Watcher system.

Hearing this, the Combat Master shared his thoughts.

"Those rats can provide Experience. Since these nobles think they can control these forces.

Then I must tell them properly; they might not have this capability."

The Master hoped to attract some officers stationed in key positions and actually fighting on the frontline into the Night Watcher system.

Within the Night Watcher's Blessing, the most appealing aspect is undoubtedly the Level system that allows growth disregarding innate talents.

Most of these officers are stuck at Levels 5~6, and have been here for a long time, with foreseeable difficulty in further breakthroughs.

Thus, the Combat Master wanted to use the Night Watcher's slots to leverage these critical officers. So even without much intervention from Night Watchers, these officers will genuinely start leading their troops to fight.

Without slaughtering enough rats, it's impossible to gain sufficient Experience for upgrading.

Even if officers in these forces are under the jurisdiction of some nobles, how to fight the frontline is no longer his call.

Moreover, the Combat Master can later perform more detailed operations to relieve these people's worries and dedicate themselves fully to combat.

Having Night Watcher's logistical support gives him great confidence in this regard.

"Can it be used this way? Hearing you say it like this, the feasibility seems indeed high."

After hearing the Combat Master's plan, Calvin couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Though he himself might not experience such a Level upgrade for a long observable period, he indeed understood the temptation this ability held for Night Watchers.

"It's just strange; I clearly only applied for three slots, yet it doubled."

The Combat Master knew that recently, Night Watchers' recruitment slots seemed to become scarce, with the normal process and other aspects becoming stricter.

This time, it was unexpectedly generous.

Soon they started taking action.

Regarding the proposal to join the Night Watchers, realistically speaking, most officers chosen by the Combat Master nearly had little resistance.

At least from their understanding, from what they saw, the welfare and various conditions provided by Night Watchers seemed very good.

As for the vow to protect the world.

For people like them, aside from resisting, there seemingly wasn't another choice.
