08 chose the Soviets, and their Soviet air defense vehicles bypassed all reinforcements and sentry towers, rushing to the main base to drop off engineers. The engineers entered, killed all the occupants, and occupied the main base.
In the Realism mode, the speed of the Engineer's capture is accelerated, giving the player the feeling of capturing the base in seconds. In fact, if the Realism version is on, the occupation time becomes extremely long, and the commander himself can even rush in and shoot the invading engineers. But the computer doesn't operate that way on Realism Difficulty.
08, Moon 3, and 829 knew from the building placements that Kisara was a newbie, so the three teamed up. Within the first five minutes, Kisara's side had just built a Grizzly tank when the main base, barracks, and vehicle factory were all captured.
Kisara's mind became blank as she developed a questioning look, hopeless to do anything but watch the battle unfold.
The pressure then shifted to Liu Yuan, who didn't panic and focused on building sentry towers and cannons. He constructed a deep vertical cannon formation and built Grizzly tanks. The computer, showing its human-like behavior, sent 08's Rhino tank to attack. Liu Yuan waited for it in his cannon array.
Then, the same number of 08 tanks rushed in, pinching his tanks and artillery array. His side couldn't maneuver the tanks and cannons quickly enough, and within ten seconds, all twenty tanks were gone while 08 still had 15 left.
Kisara could only feel the pain as she saw them invade Liu Yuan's base.
"Cheating! Definitely cheating!"
At this point, Liu Yuan took off his glasses, looking like a monk who had achieved enlightenment. "It's not cheating. The computer's resources are the same as ours, but it perfectly simulates the logic of these three people's thinking. It's like playing against real people."
Of course, if you can defeat these AI, you'll unlock a higher difficulty level. For example, fully AI-manipulated troops combined with top commander's command awareness, computing power at the quantum level, and all buildings constructed simultaneously and instantly.
The difficulty is progressive, with something for every player level. The game difficulty is designed to help players learn the main combat units and quickly understand the game, laying the foundation for the plot mode and the realism difficulty, which is the core of this series.
They lost this match, but Kisara was determined and started another game. This time, she chose to play 2v1.
However, this time, Kisara chose a light blue color, as if she was unsure, and Liu Yuan forgot the significance of this color. The chosen opponent was neither strong nor weak, precisely the middle-strength 08 of the three computers.
Kisara was taught a hard lesson. An engineer hidden in a cinderblock car touched the base in front of her three bunkers and then touched the vehicle factory she was constructing. A Rhino tank instantly emerged from the vehicle factory, crushed the engineer she had just built, and blocked her mine with the tank, which was then taken out by her own bunkers.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
Namikaze Minato had just entered the door when he heard Kisara's scream. "What's wrong, Ms. Kisara? Did you get scared playing Resident Evil?"
Noticing that it was already opening time, Liu Yuan directly quit the game and explained, "A new game, war-themed. You all can play it."
"War-themed?"
Namikaze Minato was interested. Since he managed to finish off Radahn and gained an attribute bonus, Namikaze Minato and the ashes he summoned became stronger and stronger. They had successfully completed the snowball mode.
Now half of the bosses in the Elden Ring had been successfully defeated by him. According to Hashirama, "Minato, your chakra has already exceeded mine at my peak. You will definitely become the strongest Hokage."
The two old-timers saw his progress with their own eyes. Not to mention the Flying Thunder God, but the sealing techniques and firearms that Minato used were effective at harvesting low-ranked ninjas in pieces.
If you include the Flying Thunder God technique and their collaboration in developing ninjutsus in the Elden Ring, it's not an exaggeration to say he's invincible in the ninja world.
Right now, Namikaze Minato was feeling slightly overconfident, even fantasizing about that he could stop the Tailed Beasts if they invaded one day.
However, according to Tobirama, "Big brother's strength is now close to you what it was back then, and even if all nine Tailed Beasts are present, brother's not afraid of them."
Kushina gently knocked her lover's head. "You! Finish the task at hand first before getting ahead of yourself."
"That's true."
Liu Yuan then addressed Namikaze Minato's idea, "It doesn't really matter. This game is very quick. Anyway, Minato, you often restart after dying, so taking a break to have fun is no problem."
As long as you don't start on the highest difficulty AI, you can easily beat easy and medium AIs with some strategy. If not, you can just build soldiers and tanks for a ten-minute fun game.
"Then I'll buy a copy to try."
At this moment, Nyaruko walked in. "Yay~ Did the boss get a new game today?"
"That's right, Red Alert. Want to try it out?"
"What type?"
"Real-time strategy!"
Everyone who arrived had heard about the new game. More importantly, it didn't take as much time compared to other games. After seeing Namikaze Minato play it himself, everyone felt it was a simple game, perfect for relaxing a bit when they were tired.
"Right! First, buy three dogs to scout the way and attack his dogs."
"Right, order your tank driver to run over the minions. You can hear the crunching."
"Deploy a flying soldier to harass him."
"That pale-colored computer is quite arrogant. Minato! Crush it!"
Liu Yuan, disguised as a spring water commander, used Minato as an example to teach everyone how to play the game.
"You all are still new to this game, but you can try playing online."
"It can be played online? Against each other?"
"Want to give it a try? I have faith in Red Alert." Subaru Natsuki, who had played Red Alert before, got excited when he realized there was a game called Red Alert.
Combat-wise, he admitted he had no talent, but he had been studying hard after clearing the Elden Ring and following Melina to Royal Capital. However, even Tina, who looked like a junior high school student, was better than him.
Now that he heard about a real-time strategy game, how could he not play?
Nyaruko didn't come, Ganyu refused due to work, and Zhongli was very interested and came to try it with everyone. The rest were in a similar situation. They were quite tired, and a game that ended in ten minutes without Kisarach physical effort felt pleasant.
But when they opened the game and saw the fancy maps, even Nayuki Subaru, who had played before, had a bit of trouble choosing.
"If you guys don't know what to choose, I'll recommend a small piece of land. This map will help you fit in quickly."
Under Liu Yuan's guidance, they found the map of a small piece of land. As the name suggests, the map had eight small plots of land. Because they were one person short, the group felt that adding a computer would enhance the gaming experience.
Nayuki Subaru thought that the computer couldn't be too weak. The intermediate and advanced ones sounded weak at first glance, and the ones with names seemed to be strong.
So, after some discussion, they felt that Moon 3 should be very weak. Moon 3 in the center of the seven to fight one couldn't result in a loss, right?
