Encircling and attacking was a common tactic used by mindless monsters with low AI in various games when they had the advantage in numbers.
Although the game was a holographic simulation, the monsters without AI could not escape from this tactic.
This tactic was like a snake with its head and tail connected, which was why the players called it the "One Line Snake Formation".
The One Line Snake Formation was one of the ancient Chinese formations that used numbers to attack the enemy. It focused on using ten times the number of enemies to encircle and annihilate the enemy. It was a clean and efficient method.
Of course, as long as it was an array, there would naturally be variations. However, the monsters in the game only instinctively understood the simple and crude word "surround". This way, Wuji found an opening.
One had to know that in the mission of guarding the encampment, the number of monsters was forty times that of the players. Ten times the number of enemies was enough to encircle the encampment, let alone forty times the number of enemies.
Although the snake monsters were small, there were more than thirty thousand of them. It was more than enough to encircle the encampment a few times. However, no matter how many circles they encircled, the snake monsters' only effective target was the encampment's gate.
The guild encampment was a square structure with a total of four gates. The walls on both sides of the four gates were all areas where attacks were ineffective. There were a total of four areas where attacks were ineffective.
Just as To Place One's Pride said, if the encampment was based on the mountain terrain, the snake monsters' encirclement would only be a semicircle. The monsters would encircle three gates and the encirclement would be 180 degrees around the encampment, passing through two areas where attacks were ineffective. If four gates were left, the encirclement would double and there would be four areas where attacks were ineffective.
This way, not only would the density of the monsters be reduced, but the encirclement would also be weaker than the encirclement on three sides. The players would be defending on four sides and they would only be missing one target, but the pressure would be reduced by more than double.
Blood Alliance was such a big guild and there were smart people in the guild. For example, when Blood Wind Whisper suggested setting up the encampment in the middle of the valley, he quickly understood what Wuji meant.
Blood Red War Flag was not smart. The only good thing about it was that it listened to others. After listening to Wuji's arrangement, it did not say anything and directly set up the encampment in the middle of the Venomous Snake Valley.
After the encampment was set up, the system prompted the ten minute countdown.
Wuji admired the Blood Red War Flag's decisiveness. After all, he had stayed in the impure environment of the Quan Zhen Sect for a long time. Seeing such an honest guy, Wuji couldn't help but feel that this guy was a little silly and cute.
Seeing that Blood Red War Flag trusted him so much, Wuji did not hide anything. He ordered the players to be split into eight groups and guard the four gates.
With Wuji's personality, the eight groups of Blood Alliance players obviously wouldn't be in a normal formation with a tank at the front and a healer at the back.
Although the Blood Alliance members were not happy with Wuji, he was the commander in chief. Not giving him face was the same as not giving Blood Red War Flag face. Helpless, they could only obey.
Under Wuji's command, every two groups guarded one gate. Their formation was arranged in a conical shape, and they needed to form a large letter to block the entrance of the encampment.
Apart from the 240 archers that were chosen by Wuji, the other classes were evenly distributed.
Due to their experience in dungeons, Blood Red War Flag chose the classes that were beneficial for this dungeon.
For example, the Retribution Paladins behind the shield warriors. This was a strategy that Blood Red War Flag had learned from Wuji. It maximized the skill of Paladins that were usually useless in team battles.
That was why the outermost layer of the "V" formation was a circle of shield-bearers. Further in were the spear wielding Punishment Paladins. Further back were the damage dealers and healers. At the very back, a large number of archers occupied the main damage output.
The technical content of the formation was much better than a square formation. When they were arranged, it was inevitable that they would be a bit messy.
The Blood Alliance players did not like Wuji. Now that Wuji's actions were like a demon, everyone started to mock and look down on him.
With Wuji's temper, he naturally couldn't be bothered to explain anything. The bunch of losers from the Quan Zhen Sect had always been despised by Wuji. At this moment, they were happy to watch others speak ill of Wuji. All of them crossed their arms and looked like they were watching a show.
Only Blood Alliance's core members, such as Blood Red War Flag and Blood Windwhisper, who had fought with Wuji in the past, stood out to comfort the Blood Alliance members. After all, the strength of Wuji's formation was something that ordinary players might not know, but they had personally witnessed.
"Boss Wuji, your formation is quite interesting. What is it called?" Blood Red War Flag asked curiously.
"Eight Gate Formation." Wuji said calmly.
"So strong!" Blood Red War Flag praised.
"Oh? You can tell how strong this formation is?" Wuji asked Blood Red War Flag with some surprise.
Hearing Wuji's question, Blood Red War Flag's face turned red all the way to his neck. "I can't tell, but the name sounds awesome."
"Sigh." Wuji sighed, a lonely look on his face.
Wuji thought that Blood Red War Flag could understand his formation, but who knew that this guy could not even be considered an amateur. At most, he was just here to watch the show.
"How is this strong? This Eight Gate Formation is just the name of a formation created by our predecessors. At most, it can be used as a defensive formation. The real Eight Gate Formation is divided into eight directions. Even if there were twice as many monsters, it would be able to trap them. I won't be able to understand the essence of the ancients." Wuji shook his head and said regretfully.
When Blood Red War Flag heard this, he was completely confused. However, he could tell that there was a formation that was even stronger than Wuji's. It was just that Wuji could not understand it.
This made Blood Red War Flag even more surprised. It turned out that there was such a profound thing in the world. Playing a game required so much knowledge. It seemed like he had played all those games for nothing.
Under the comforting and guidance of Blood Red War Flag and the others, the formation was finally completed. Wuji specially placed Blood Red War Flag, Blood Red War Flag, and Blood Red Wind Whisper into the various teams to act as commanders. These core players had all stood in the Cone Formation before, so they were very familiar with it.
The Blood Alliance players looked at each other and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They still did not understand what was the point of standing like this.
After standing in the formation, there were still three minutes until the guards' countdown ended.
When the Blood Alliance players saw that not only did Quanzhen's group not stand in the formation, but they were also at the back of the team, they started to become unhappy. They all asked Wuji, "We're standing in the formation, are you just going to watch from the back?"
The Blood Alliance players all knew that Wuji was hired by Blood Red War Flag. No one was willing to spend money for nothing.
Wuji calmly replied, "Just stand in your position. We naturally have our own mission."
