Chapter 2785 - 1319: Orthodoxy and Innovation

As time passes, both red and blue sides continue to deploy one unit after another onto the battlefield, and the battle gradually turns into a fuel-addition mode. The smoke of the fierce battle almost spreads to every corner of the contested area. To an outsider, this confrontation has almost evolved from a tactical game into a chaotic fight. Whether it’s the Black Vatican Priest commanding the blue side or Foster commanding the red side, they both seem to be relentlessly increasing manpower at the front lines, trying to crush the opponent by sheer numbers.

But this is only the surface. To the insiders, this seemingly reckless fighting style is the true essence of this simulation. Besides people like Ramollok, Richard, and Andre who can easily keep up with the pace, almost everyone, from Richard and Bati to Black and the sisters La Ersi and Lei Er Si in the commentary booth, have been left in a state of ’watching for a while and then resting for a while’. The reason is simple: the open and covert games between the two sides are too intense and dazzling.

Before reaching a certain threshold of proficiency, the more an expert one is, the harder it is to endure this insane confrontation, because they possess the talent and foundation to analyze all kinds of situations on the battlefield, yet they cannot adapt to the rhythm that has almost been stretched to the limits by both sides.

The God’s Eye View has already become a pressure. When trying to place oneself on either side, one will be overwhelmed by the calculations, and receiving twice the amount of information is simply an enormous burden.

That’s why it happens that someone like Lainan, who isn’t particularly skilled, can watch with great interest and excitement, while Bati, who has a strong strategic talent, has already run to the restroom to vomit for the third time.

Can’t keep up...

Really can’t keep up!

It’s like a second-year middle school student facing countless exam questions from the same year passing rapidly before his eyes. He might be able to answer any single one of them, but when 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 questions come at him at once, the child trying to solve them by force will most likely be mentally overwhelmed, causing severe psychological and physical discomfort.

Yes, very severe discomfort!

But even so, many people still grit their teeth and focus on the match despite the discomfort, like Bati, who shakily returns from the restroom and still forces himself to look up at the big screen, his face quickly changing from pale to green. The reason is simple, such an opportunity is extremely rare.

After all, insiders look at the essentials, and ’essentials’ can be used for reference and learning.

So, even if it’s uncomfortable, you have to watch! Even if it means vomiting bile, you have to watch!

"Lei Er Si Lei Er Si..."

Raising her right hand to cover her eyes, La Ersi struggled to raise her head and said in a trembling voice to her sister: "This can’t go on."

Lei Er Si, who was already curled up in a ball on her chair, clutching her collar and taking deep breaths, shivered. She looked at the battlefield overhead view, which was nearly breaking her nerves, through the gap of her left hand fingers, and nodded stiffly, her voice hoarse: "But sister... I already..."

"From now on, you only watch the main perspective of the Black Vatican Priest on the blue side."

La Ersi took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: "And I will only watch Foster’s main perspective on the red side. This is the only way we can barely continue to commentate, for everything we miss... let’s review it later."

Lei Er Si was initially confused, but then quickly realized, and her eyes shot from the main screen to the left towards the blue side perspective, nodding vigorously: "Got it! Sister!"

"Then, the match continues... no, we continue."

La Ersi also shifted her gaze away from the main screen, focusing only on the red side’s main perspective. Her expression looked a bit better, and she said in her crisp voice that wasn’t enthusiastic but not at all unappealing: "It’s clear, if nothing unexpected happens, the main tone of this simulation has been completely set."

"That’s right, the key is whoever can gain an absolute advantage in the central battle zone and then convert it into victory will win this match."

Lei Er Si, who had also recovered somewhat, added immediately and solemnly: "So, if nothing unexpected happens, this match shouldn’t last as long as we initially anticipated."

La Ersi nodded while watching the red side troop dancing under Teresa’s baton: "If I’m not mistaken, this should be a mutual understanding reached by both sides’ players at the beginning of the match. They probably both believe that, compared to conducting a more extensive and comprehensive confrontation, this method of always playing in the same battle zone is more appropriate."

"Ah! The blue side achieved another decisive breakthrough, leaping out of the red side’s encirclement, and immediately resonated with the outer troops, a very beautiful mirror image tactic!"

Lei Er Si exclaimed softly, marking a point on the map, then continued the previous topic: "However, I still don’t quite understand. Given the skill levels of both players, they should be capable of using this highly comprehensive map more fully to play out many beautiful tactics. Why insist on this war of attrition, rather than developing a few more lines of battle?"

"Although having taken some damage, the red side quickly filled the gap, Foster pinned down the terrain, everyone can pay attention to this area I’ve marked, the blue side troops that originally relied on three positions for joint defense have been isolated! The entire group army of the red side has been split into two routes to go around them, they’re not planning to bite hard on these few positions, but want to bypass them directly, further increasing their control area!"
