In the combat simulation, the examinees would act as generals to command the battle.
Here, one’s individual ability would not be displayed. The key was to command the army to fight and defeat the enemy.
It was a little similar to the second assessment, only this time, he was no longer a soldier.
The screen flashed.
Wang Ye raised his head and prepared himself.
[Fourth assessment: Combat simulation.]
[Difficulty: 1]
There were a total of eight battles. Every victory would give 500 points.
According to the video introduction, the first battle would be evenly-matched.
However, it was basically impossible to pass if one had never been a general. The difficulty was even higher than the third assessment.
Difficulty 1 of the individual combat ability assessment eliminated more than 90% of the examinees, but difficulty 1 of the combat simulation would eliminate more than 99% of the examinees!
Less than one in ten thousand could pass difficulty 2 and get 1000 points.
“We’re back in the military camp.” A lot of information flooded Wang Ye’s mind.
He was now the general of a standard 10,000-man team, leading 10 1,000-man teams.
The centurions and chiliarchs were Dark Energy-level warriors while the rest were mostly cosmic-level.
Sir, the demon army is gathering. Should we launch a general attack immediately?” A chiliarch said.
“Sir, once the demon army is fully assembled, their numbers will be more than twice that of ours. We must defeat them as soon as possible!” Another chiliarch said.
“Please give the order, sir!” The chiliarchs were united and their morale was high!
Order my ass. He hadn’t even read the information yet.
“Continue scouting and maintain a defensive position. All troops are on standby.” Wang Ye was straightforward.
Sir, we can’t wait any longer!” A bearded chiliarch’s voice was loud and clear, and his aura as a Dark Energy-level expert’s aura was revealed. “We are already at a disadvantage. Once the demon army gathers, we will no longer have-”
“Am I the general, or are you the general?” Wang Ye roared.
The chiliarch’s face instantly turned red.
“Pass on my order, hold your ground!” Wang Ye’s voice was sonorous and steady, showing the demeanor of a general.
“Yes, General!” The chiliarchs clasped their fists.
Wang Ye watched as the chiliarchs left the tent.
He had learned some information about the combat simulation from videos.
It was no different from a real battle. If a general was indecisive, had no prestige, and could not convince the masses, it would cause a series of follow-up reactions.
For example, if he hadn’t been able to stun the bearded chiliarch just now, the other chiliarchs might have joined forces in forcing him to agree to them.
For many New Star-level examinees who had not experienced great storms, they could not even pass the first threshold.
To him, such an occurrence was actually very normal.
On the Blue Planet, he had commanded countless battles. He had experienced city defense battles, killings, and sweeping. Such experiences could not be obtained in games.
People who had never been on the battlefield would not have that kind of temperament.
As for the aura and pressure of a Dark Energy-level powerhouse, he took no heed.
After all, he was stronger than the big-bearded chiliarch!
Strength was the source of confidence.
“It’s indeed difficult.” Wang Ye nodded.
The matter in the tent just now could eliminate more than 95% of the examinees.
Although he didn’t know how this battle should be fought, he knew that they couldn’t just rush into it.
There was definitely a problem.
Wang Ye quickly checked the information. He roughly understood the combat prowess of the two sides.
The demon army was currently converging. Once they gathered, they would have twice the number of the human troops. At that time, they would be outnumbered.
The chiliarch’s suggestion was not without reason.
“Just defend until the end.” Wang Ye quickly made a decision.
The demon army was obviously trying to lure them out. It was still unknown whether they really had a large army. Even if they did, the humans had a large number of defensive weapons, enough to deal a heavy blow to the demon race.
They would confront change with constancy.
Although the best way was to probe and investigate, then break them apart, he should still be somewhat conservative for the first battle. Before he completely understood the rules of the combat simulation, he had to take things step by step.
Either way, as long as he passed the first stage, he would get 500 points.
It didn’t matter if he did it beautifully or not.
Training soldiers, analyzing intelligence, handling military affairs…
Wang Ye quickly adapted to his new identity and had more insights about his identity as a general.
Compared to being the commander of Blue Planet, he now had to deal with some trivial matters, and training soldiers was the most important thing.
Although Wang Ye hadn’t come into contact with training soldiers before, he knew how to do so from observing how the ten chiliarchs trained their soldiers.
He got along well with the chiliarchs too.
Although they were suppressed by him in the beginning, after a few meetings, the ten chiliarchs were convinced.
Soon, the demons attacked. They didn’t have twice the number of troops, only 20% more than the humans.
With an absolute geographical advantage, Wang Ye defeated the demon army and easily passed the first stage.
Swoosh.
The scene in front of him changed.
[Total score: 3559]
Wang Ye looked at the screen.
He passed.
It was very simple for him.
However, to the other examinees, it would be as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Even if they rejected the proposal of the ten chiliarchs, if they couldn’t convince the ten chiliarchs and establish their prestige, this battle would be very difficult to fight.
Especially since the demons obviously had a trap waiting for them.
After carefully pondering over this matter, Wang Ye completed his review.
He gained a lot.
This battle allowed him to adapt to cosmic-level battles.
He was improving rapidly.
[Rank: 7712]
His ranking had entered the top 10,000!
Many examinees were eliminated here.
War was not a theory.
If this was a sand table simulation, many examinees might be able to advance.
Unfortunately, through the simulation of the human virtual cosmic, everything would become extremely difficult.
[Difficulty: 2]
Wang Ye entered the battlefield again.
His identity changed again.
This time, he was a major general under the Left General. Although he still commanded an army of ten thousand men, his status was completely different from before.
The scale of the battle was also much larger than the first battle.
He had some influence, but that was all.
He did his job.
Wang Ye used the soldier-training methods he learned from his first battle and integrated them into the camp.
When training the soldiers, he must first train the heart!
He led by example and lived a collective life.
With the experience of the first battle, he quickly adapted.
He led his brothers to engage in a life-and-death battle with the devil race’s army.
After the first confrontation, he more or less understood the difficulty of the second stage.
They had to win and he had to protect himself and his team!
Because the left flank was the vanguard, the battle was particularly intense.
It was difficult to win the war, but it was even more difficult to protect the team.
After several fierce battles, he gradually gained the trust of the Left General.
He listened to his suggestion and defeated the enemy in batches, gradually gaining the upper hand. They wiped out the enemy’s army in an ambush and he successfully passed.
[Total score: 4.059]
1000 points!
Wang Ye didn’t think it was because he was talented, but more so of his adaptability and experience.
His experience as a commander on the Blue Planet had given him a lot of help.
The first two battles weren’t difficult since both parties were evenly matched.
The difference was that the second battle was more dangerous and the situation was difficult to control.
However, the third and fourth battles were different.
The humans were at a disadvantage!
In the third battle, Wang Ye played a different role.
He was in charge of reinforcements!
He completed the mission without any mishaps.
[Rank: 499]
“There are still three more stages.” Wang Ye fought steadily.
He knew very well that the battles would become more and more difficult, but at the same time, he could also learn a lot.
He was improving with every battle!
[Difficulty: 4]
This time, he led three armies, a total of 30,000 people.
They were no longer defending but attacking. A head-on confrontation!
His ability to lead troops in the first three battles was undoubtedly evident in this battle.
Wang Ye gradually got better at being a general, cleverly setting traps to disperse the enemy forces and nibbling away at them step by step.
After several cosmic days of intense battle, they defeated the enemy by a close victory.
[Rank: 158]
His score had broken through 5000 points and there were only 157 people left in front of him.
However, the ranking was not important. The score was the truth.
Once he reached 6000 points, even if he wasn’t ranked first, he could still get into the Military Strategy Department!
[Difficulty: 5]
A three-party chaotic battle!
Demons and devils appeared at the same time.
Wang Ye led an army of 100,000 people and fought for a seven-star life planet.
A battle of wits and courage!
To him, this was actually easier than the fourth stage.
He cleverly used the conflict between the devils and the demons to deal with them.
The humans feigned weakness, and after a “defeat”, the conflict between the demons and the devils erupted as expected, and they fought and killed each other.
The demons were slightly weaker, and their vitality was greatly damaged. They were exterminated by Wang Ye, who in the end focused the army’s strength on dealing with the devil race.
He won a difficult victory.
[Rank: 11]
The higher the score, the fewer candidates.
After passing the fifth stage, Wang Ye had obtained 5559 points.
There were only ten examinees in front of him.
However, these ten examinees might not have a chance to break through the 6000 mark. Rather, they might have already left after the previous battle.
“The last round!” Wang Ye was full of fighting spirit.
Although the combat simulation had a total of eight stages, difficulties 7 and 8 were known as impossible battles.
The examinees who passed difficulty 8 did not need any other results to be directly promoted to the highest-grade Class IV Supreme Human Academy. The difficulty could be imagined.
Difficulty 6 was also purgatory-level hard.
He had to lead a hundred thousand lone soldiers to guard an eight-star life planet!
They faced an endless army of demons and devils, numbering in the millions.
There was no chance of survival.
Wang Ye did everything he could think of, but the enemy was still as solid as a steel board.
He didn’t know how to get through this.
Should he escape from the eight-star life planet and seek help?
Or should he defend the planet and wait for reinforcements?
If he chose the former, it would end in an ambush from all sides where danger lurked everywhere.
The latter was equally hopeless.
In the end, he chose to hold on. Compared to the former, the latter had a higher chance.
Together with the powers on the eight-star life planet itself, he recruited warriors, constantly harassed the demon and devil armies, sent smoke bombs, delayed the battle, and rationally used the defense facilities. Wang Ye held on.
It felt as if he was in the Three Kingdoms guarding Luoyang.
It was extremely tragic.
Wave after wave of demons and devils charged forward. It was difficult to resist.
In the end, Wang Ye didn’t receive any reinforcements.
After running out of tricks, he fought until the last moment and displayed his tenacious fighting strength.
It had nothing to do with the score. This was the real him.
He was still the same as he was on the Blue Planet.
The scene in front of him changed, and he returned to the virtual assessment point.
It’s finally over.” Even though he failed at the last step, Wang Ye didn’t regret it.
This battle, or more accurately, the simulation of the six battles, had left a deep impression on him and allowed him to learn many things.
He now had a better understanding of the military camp and cosmic war.
That was enough.
Although he failed this time, three years later… He would definitely be able to get in!
Wang Ye raised his head and calmly looked at the final score on the screen.
His pupils abruptly constricted, revealing a look of surprise.
[Total score: 6006]
