“Where are we?” Su Muxue asked curiously when she saw the arena around them.
“We’ve been teleported here! This arena must have been prepared for team battles,” Singer Qiqi conjectured.
At this moment, Cloth Bag looked around and realized that this arena was not like a boxing ring. Instead, it was a battlefield where the two armies could fight.
He saw the imperial guards of the royal family standing in the distance. The wind swept up the sand on the ground.
Just by looking at this scene, it was as if two armies were about to face each other head on.
“The imperial guards are all at level 65. The gap between our levels and theirs is too big!” Singer Qiqi said with a worried look on her face.
“Yeah!”
Su Muxue also wanted to bring up this concern just now.
How could it be called a test when there was such a huge gap between their levels?
At this moment, Jiang Bai raised his hand indifferently and pointed into the distance. He said, “Look again. Their levels have changed.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Muxue and the other three immediately looked over.
“As expected, their levels match ours! How did they do that?”
When Cloth Bag saw that the guards were either level 25 or 26, he could not help but feel surprised.
Jiang Bai stepped forward and explained, “Actually, we are in a huge spell formation. It’s like a game here. As the people who created this arena, they can freely change their levels. The surrounding scenery can also change at any time.”
As he spoke, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky. A sense of oppression followed the darkness and pressed down on them.
Seeing this scene, Cloth Bag and the other three were shocked.
They thought that they had been teleported to a different place, but it turned out that they were inside a spell formation.
“Maise the God, you are really knowledgeable.”
“Then, how are we going to pass this test?” Cloth Bag asked as he sighed.
He believed that Maise the God definitely had a plan.
Jiang Bai smiled and patted Cloth Bag on his shoulder.
He then explained, “In a team battle, the most important thing is tactics. The number of imperial guards match our numbers. Only five of them are Ieft in the arena. What we need to know next are their classes and their positions.”
When Cloth Bag heard this, he immediately looked at the imperial guards.
Among the five of them, the one at the front was a tank warrior. He was like a great wall of steel. He was three meters tall and stood guard in front of the others.
Obviously, this tank warrior was a meat shield. He specialized in absorbing damage and providing space for the mages at the back to deal damage.
At the back, there was a Chaos Mage, a summoner, an assassin, and an occult wizard.
When Cloth Bag saw this, he had some doubts.
Firstly, he didn’t know much about these classes.
Secondly, he didn’t know what special arrangements these four guards had.
The people beside him had the same doubts.
They all looked at Jiang Bai and asked, “Maise the God, what class is a Chaos Mage? It seems like Chaos Mage is the second transition from an occult wizard?”
“We’re also not too sure about the other classes. Maise the God, can you introduce them to us?”
“Last but not least, what are the advantages of the four guards standing at the back like this?”
Jiang Bai listened to their questions and answered them one by one.
“Chaos Mages are the class with the strongest explosive damage among mages.”
“Summoners are similar to Beastmasters, but they can summon anything they have contracts with. They can form contracts with anything, such as robots, corpses, red dragons etc.”
“As for assassins and occult wizards, these two classes are easy to understand. One is in charge of ambushing the opponent’s rear and the other is in charge of buffing the entire team, as well as providing individual buffs.”
“As for their positions, this formation has been tested countless times in team battles and has become a standard formation. As long as their tank warrior doesn’t fall, then the Chaos Mage and summoner at the back have enough space to deal damage as they are long-ranged attackers.”
“When the situation gets chaotic, the assassin will start moving, cutting into the back row of the opponent’s lineup!”
“Once the main damage output of the opponent’s back row falls, then it will be a one-sided suppression!”
The rest were speechless.
With Jiang Bai’s explanation, Cloth Bag and the others felt that their confusion was cleared up.
The Chaos Mage was a high damage mage.
The Summoner was also a long-range attacker.
This formation had been tested in many actual battles.
After a while, Cloth Bag sighed and said, “Maise the God, if only we could be like you and know so many things!”
Hearing this, Jiang Bai smiled indifferently.
After all, in his previous life, he had spent a lot of time studying team battles.
If Cloth Bag wanted to master such things, it would take him at least a few years.
“There is no rush.”
Jiang Bai patted Cloth Bag’s shoulder lightly.
Then, he began to arrange the formation for his team.
Now that their classes had been decided, the only problem left was their formation.
Jiang Bai fumbled around in his mind and thought of a powerful vanguard formation.
This vanguard formation was developed by experts in his previous life in order to deal with their opponent’s standard formation.
The existence of this vanguard formation inspired many people to abandon the standard formation and focus on researching all sorts of unique formations.
In the end, there were more and more diverse formations.
“This is what we’re going to do next!” Jiang Bai suddenly spoke. He placed a hand on Cloth Bag’s shoulder and took a step forward.
He commanded, “Cloth Bag will take center position. You will deal with the tank warrior!”
“Singer Qiqi will follow behind Cloth Bag. After the two of you get close to the tank warrior, Singer Qiqi should take advantage of his build and occupy the space above him. Then, release a demonic tune and stun the main attackers at the rear!”
“Finally, Infinite Sin, follow behind Singer Qiqi and release demon power to attack the main attackers at the rear!”
Under Jiang Bai’s instructions, Cloth Bag, Singer Qiqi and Infinite Sin would charge in a straight line.
When they charged, there was a sequence to their movements.
Cloth Bag, who led the charge, had the main task of engaging the tank warrior.
Behind him, Singer Qiqi was responsible for stunning the attackers at the rear while Infinite Sin was responsible for dealing damage to them.
Under normal circumstances, the vanguard formation was perfect.
As long as the players had enough dexterity, they could completely destroy the opponent’s standard formation with just three people.
Jiang Bai definitely wouldn’t be satisfied with just this.
Not only did he wish to execute it well, but he also had to do it perfectly.
He continued, “Soft Snow, follow behind me and release your buffs.”
“We will assault the opponent’s back row from the get-go.”
Enthralled by his idea, his team members listened to him attentively.
Soon, they established a perfect vanguard formation.
Cloth Bag, Singer Qiqi and Infinite Sin all stood in a single line.
As for Jiang Bai and Su Muxue, they were standing on the side. They were going to dodge the opponent’s attacks while cutting into their rear.
As soon as the team battle began, they would attack from both sides and completely shatter the opponent’s standard formation.
“Great adventurers, preparation time is over. The test is about to begin!” an imperial guard announced solemnly.
“Bring it on!” Jiang Bai said while smiling faintly.
Cloth Bag, Singer Qiqi and Infinite Sin wore grim expressions.
When the test officially began, their bodies tensed up and they felt extremely nervous.
This was the first time the three of them engaged in a proper team battle.
That was why they had such a reaction.
Jiang Bai stood at the side and reminded them softly, “Relax. Just maintain your previous pace. With our formation, we can break through them perfectly and threaten the mage, wizard, and summoner in the back row!”
Upon listening to his advice, Cloth Bag and the other two took deep breaths.
They tried to relax.
Then, for some reason, they felt very confident.
“Since Maise the God said so, it means that the battle is half won.”
“Bring it on!” Cloth Bag said excitedly.
…
Just as Jiang Bai was having a team battle, there was a sudden announcement.
The world channel was flooded with notifications.
