A little earlier.
While the players were discussing countermeasures, the merchant also secretly conveyed some information to Meng Yuan.
“I’m ready to start reversing this slice of history.
"But there is one thing to be reminded of. The demon this time is different from last time and may be more difficult to deal with.
“Because this slice of history is not limited to a small area, but involves a large range of time and space, the power of the demon must be very strong.
"It is very likely that it will exist independently without being attached to any bandit, and it may also tamper with any character except General Deng. This must be paid special attention to."
Meng Yuan said in his heart: "Understood, you can just reverse the historical slice normally, and leave the rest to me and the players."
Part of the reason why Meng Yuan finally decided to play the emperor was related to the reminder from participating in the business.
None of the other players know this.
Players only know that there are differences in gameplay between ordinary trial illusions and ultimate trials. For example, in ordinary trial illusions, identities are gradually unlocked and talents appear randomly, while in the ultimate trial identities, you can choose your own, and the range of options is larger than that of ordinary trial illusions. The normal trial is much larger, almost all the characters that have appeared are available, and the talents are directly selected from the library.
They didn't know the reason behind this mechanism, they just thought it was some special settings made by the designers to make the game more fun.
But in fact, these are all targeted measures taken to better break the demon's blockade on historical slices.
Demons also have strong and weak abilities. There is no doubt that the demons you encounter become stronger the further you go.
The time and space range of historical slices can also roughly determine the scope of the demon's power.
The copy of "The matter must be settled before the coffin is closed" can basically be regarded as being within a specific range of time and space.
All the plots took place in a small county town, and the time did not exceed one day and one night.
For such a small slice, the demons that invade must be relatively weak, and their abilities may be relatively limited.
But the copy of "The title is not mine" is different.
Its time span is as long as several decades, and it can be said to include the entire process of the southeastern bandits. In terms of spatial span, it also includes places such as the southeastern coast, the capital, and outside the Great Wall of northern Xinjiang.
Although it does not include the entire land of China, but only fragments of regions, this kind of time and space scope cannot be underestimated.
When the scope of time and space reaches this level of historical slicing, the demons that can invade are by no means small shrimps. They will definitely be much stronger than the previous demons.
According to the information provided by the merchants, some of the more powerful demons may not even possess barbarians or bandits.
In other words, it is actually looking down at the entire slice of history from a God's perspective.
The performance of most characters in the historical slice cannot escape his eyes!
This is why the "performance" aspect has been elevated to a very high status in this historical-slicing simulation trial scoring system.
Because only through performance can we be able to confuse this monster!
If all the players don't act, the demon will instantly determine that there is something wrong with these people, and then it will no longer tamper with them, but will tamper with others. In this way, the possibility of failure of the sequencer will be greatly increased.
In other words, the ideal situation of the orderer is to deceive the monster and make the monster think that the orderer is the key aboriginal in the copy. When the monster tamperes with it, the power of the orderer will offset the tampering power, and then Players successfully repeated history and broke the demon blockade in the historical slice.
The more the Orderers are exposed, the more likely they are to arouse the suspicion of the demons. In the most serious case, the Orderers may even have to fight the demons directly without breaking the barrier.
That possibility is very low, but it is still something Meng Yuan and Shenshang must do everything possible to avoid.
…
Ginseng's small body floated in the turbulence of time and space, and began to guide the power of the Orderer.
After absorbing the last slice of history, her power has grown significantly.
The powerful power of the Orderer transcended the layers of time and space turbulence, wrapped up the slice of history layer by layer, and began to reverse it!
Outside the fortress in northern Xinjiang, yellow sand is flying all over the sky.
But in the next moment, Huangsha flew back to the north, and General Deng, who was preparing to go out for battle, also dismounted and retreated to the military camp.
Time quickly reversed, Nanhe City, Buning Port... the characters in each scene were reversed back to their original state, the sacrificed soldiers came back to life, and the invading thieves returned to Buning Port.
Finally, a group of thieves retreated outside General Deng's guardhouse and prepared to attack.
The entire slice of history came to a standstill.
Only this time, the thieves did not emit any black energy, indicating that the demon was not possessing their bodies.
Instead, in the sky, a wisp of black smoke spread, almost undetectable.
…
When Li Hongyun came to his senses, he was already in the battle formation.
He was surrounded by soldiers wearing khaki cloth face armor like him, which was obviously the standard equipment of the soldiers of the Dasheng Imperial Guard.
Everything seemed to be back to the state it was in when he first entered this trial illusion.
But he could clearly feel that this was not the simulation trial he had passed many times, but a completely different place.
As for the legendary 100% pain sensation, he didn't dare to experience it, nor did he want to experience it.
I just want to apply the effects I achieved in the simulation trial here and pass the level as safely as possible.
Don't tell me, I'm a little nervous.
Especially when he thought that his performance would be made into a movie and played in front of countless audiences, Li Hongyun became even more nervous.
Soon, the thieves rushed over shouting!
Of course, Li Hongyun had seen such a scene many times, but the soldiers at the scene still had their legs trembling, and a timid mood naturally spread.
There are even soldiers in the front row who are cowering and retreating. In this state, they are afraid that they will not be able to confront the bandits and will run away.
General Deng was still riding his tall horse, pointed his spear at the bandits, and shouted loudly: "Don't retreat! Come with me and kill them!"
"No retreat!"
However, his stern scolding did not have much effect, and many soldiers began to disperse in unison!
General Deng was so angry that his face was livid. Obviously, he did not have high expectations for these guardsmen, but with such a low psychological bottom line, the performance of these guardsmen still exceeded his expectations. .
Li Hongyun was also a little surprised.
Because judging from the situation he had simulated in the trial illusion before, although the combat effectiveness of these guard soldiers was worrying, at least they only started to flee after fighting against the bandits and finding that they were completely one-sided and had no chance of fighting.
What's the situation now?
They haven't even met yet, and they have already begun to flee!
"Is this the influence of the demon? After multiple players entered, the difficulty of the copy increased?" Li Hongyun couldn't help but make such a guess.
But the current situation is very critical for General Deng.
From the previous "collapse at the first touch" to the current "collapse without fighting", he never expected that these guardsmen would still have room to retreat.
Candidates who have already scored zero points can break through the lower limit and get negative points in the test. How is this possible?
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge towards the bandits single-handedly!
As a general, General Deng definitely cannot take the lead in escaping. In this situation, there is only one option, which is to fight to the death!
The situation was so urgent that General Deng even had the idea of sacrifice for his country.
However, just as General Deng was halfway through the charge, he found that there was someone beside him!
This soldier was clearly charging with only two legs, but he could barely keep up with his horse in a short distance.
Of course, General Deng did not let his horses charge with full force. He could not leave his line too far, but even so, this soldier caught his attention.
Before General Deng had time to think about it, this soldier had already engaged the bandits!
He held the shield high in his left hand and held the spear in his right hand. He did not stupidly raise the spear and stab it at the first time. It would be easy to get out of the way, and once the spear was cut off by the sword, he would be very passive in the follow-up.
He first observed the bandit's movements, waited for the bandit's barbarian sword to strike, and then calmly blocked it with a shield. Then, the spear pierced the bandit's chest at a very tricky angle!
The bandits were all stunned, and so was General Deng.
When did the guardsmen have such warriors? ?
