After the first wave of probing attacks ended, the five noble NPC forces no longer seemed to be in a hurry. Although it wasn't clear whether they would launch such a wave of attacks at the beginning of every attack, no matter how one looked at it, it felt a little too routine.
If this was the only attack that the five Noble NPC forces on Golden Cauldron Island did not know how to make use of the NPC's flexibility, they would not have any advantage. It was no wonder that they had never succeeded in attacking the Golden Cauldron Mountain.
After a fruitless attack, the five Marquis NPC forces stopped making any moves after setting up their respective camps. There was still half a day left, yet the stalemate continued. Inside Sky City, Yang Rui and the others clearly hadn't expected such an outcome.
These NPC forces that came from afar did not seem to have much momentum!
The only thing worth praising was that the camps set up by the NPC forces were very good at defense. Gao Shun, Guo Jia, Xu You, and the others all agreed that it was one of the most classic camps — the Qianji Black Armored Camp!
The Qianji Black Armored Camp was one of the few famous camps that had been recorded. However, more than half of the specific way to set up a camp had been lost. They did not expect to see it in a place like Golden Cauldron Mountain.
Yang Rui's few historical generals and famous scholars who were familiar with battle tactics carefully observed the way the NPC camps were set up. They seemed to have learned a lot. Yang Rui wondered if they could recreate this camp in the future.
It was undeniable that the Qianji Black Armored Camp was very suitable for the Golden Cauldron Mountain. The NPC forces attacking the mountain did not have any terrain advantage. This high defense camp could greatly reduce the impact from the Native monsters on the mountain.
At this moment, the five Noble NPC forces attacking the mountain. All of them used the same layout of the Qianji Black Armored Camp.
Seeing that the NPC forces and the Native monsters did not make any moves, Gao Shun, Xu You, and Xu You, began to talk. Gao Shun, Guo Jia, Xu You, Yu Jin, and the others began to discuss the layout of the Qianji Black Armored Camp. When they got excited, they even simulated the layout of the camp in Sky Castle.
Among the few historical generals and famous scholars present, except for Dian Wei, the rest were all generals who were well-versed in battle tactics. Now that there was a ready-made object under Sky Castle for them to refer to, they were able to roughly set up the camp according to the drawing.
However, the Qianji Black Armored Battalion could not be completely imitated. It also involved the concealment of some specific barracks and formation flags. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, it was impossible to replicate.
Even Guo Jia, who had a deep understanding of formations, only had a rough understanding of the Qianji Black Armored Battalion. Yang Rui, who was watching from the side, immediately paid attention to it. He wanted to know how to get the formation method of the Qianji Black Armored Battalion from the five marquises …
...
The gaming day passed quickly. On the second day after the five major NPC noble forces set up camp, Yang Rui was prepared to watch a fierce battle between two powerful NPCs. However, things developed beyond Yang Rui's expectations once again.
Early in the morning, the five major NPC forces had indeed sent out a small group of soldiers to conduct a probing attack. However, judging by the ranks and numbers of these soldiers, it was obvious that they were nothing more than cannon fodder. As expected, they were quickly wiped out by the native monsters hiding in the dense forest. There were very few soldiers who could be recovered.
Next, Yang Rui felt that the five major NPC forces were going to be serious. When they sent out their elite soldiers to attack, the NPC forces seemed to be prepared to exhaust their resources and did not continue to attack.
This situation continued for another gaming day!
Yang Rui was anxious for them. He did not know what the five major NPC forces were planning. At least until now, Yang Rui and the others, including Guo Jia, Xu You, and the other historical generals and famous scholars, could not figure out what the people below were planning.
The most puzzling thing was that on the third day of the game, the same situation actually repeated itself. It was still a probing attack in the morning, followed by nothing happening for the rest of the day!
Maybe …
Maybe … the five major NPC forces came to attack the Golden Cauldron Mountain because of a mission? And there are disputes between the various NPC forces, so they are unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices. So, they have tacitly agreed to this fruitless attack?
"Now that the Prefecture Overseer has said so, I feel that it's very possible. I don't know if you've noticed, but not only have the five noble forces not made much of a move, but even the native monsters that were attacked have not reacted much either.
Usually, under such circumstances, the native monsters would seize every opportunity to cause some damage to the five major NPC forces. At least with the geographical advantage, they should be able to take the initiative to attack.
However, these monsters seem to have learned their lesson. Other than dealing with a probing attack every day, they have no intention of taking the initiative to attack. There are only two possibilities for this situation. One, the monsters have been defeated by the Qianji Black Armored Battalion before, so they do not dare to act recklessly.
The other possibility is that the native monsters are very clear about the outcome of the confrontation. They know that the people who came to attack are just a show and will not really cause any real threat to the Golden Cauldron Mountain.
Moreover, it is very likely that these two factors are well known to the native monsters, which led to the current situation without any follow-up action …
...”
Yang Rui was the first to think of a possibility, which seemed to have opened Guo Jia's mind.
Just as Guo Jia had said, everyone had actually neglected the native monsters. At this time, everyone realized that these monsters seemed to be calmer than the five major NPC forces in dealing with the invaders. How could this be a normal reaction of the monsters under normal circumstances?
The more Yang Rui thought about it, the more convinced he was. In the end, he basically concluded that this was the reason.
In the current situation where the two sides were in a stalemate, it was very difficult for them to come to an end. Therefore, both sides did not put in any effort, and were in a state where they did not help Yang Rui complete his mission at all.
Therefore, Yang Rui felt that he had to think of a way to make the two sides really fight. Only when the water was mixed up would he have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!
