The strategy of judging the course of the war by sensing emotions had failed completely.
Realizing that the Mysterious Commander was also controlling the emotional changes of the Player Race's public-facing commander, Di Nian Evil Spirit abandoned this tactic entirely.
This meant that changes in emotion did not necessarily reflect the truth; they could also be a deceptive tactic.
Just like that joy a moment ago.
The sudden joy had made him think he had fallen into a Player Race ambush, prompting him to withdraw decisively.
Instead, he discovered that the Player Race's damage-soaking troop types had swiftly filled the gap and rebuilt their defensive line.
The mistaken decision sent Di Nian Evil Spirit into a fury.
With a passing thought, he sealed Divine King's still-muttering mouth with black fog and turned his gaze toward the battlefield.
Of the Three Factions, the Dark Tide under his control was undoubtedly the strongest in combat power.
The Player Race had the weakest combat power, yet was also the most troublesome.
In particular, the hidden Mysterious Commander was no less capable than Evil Eye.
In fact, this commander surpassed Evil Eye in war experience.
While fighting this opponent, he was also learning their methods of commanding a war.
The earlier deceptive tactics, for instance, had taught him how to intersperse effective and ineffective orders to trap the enemy commander into excessive simulation.
Even as he felt furious over being deceived, a trace of admiration rose within him.
An opponent like this was both a formidable enemy and a teacher.
"Di Nian, try changing your command habits. You can insert incorrect orders."
Evil Eye's reminder sounded in his mind, and Di Nian Evil Spirit nodded.
He then followed Evil Eye's instructions and changed his command habits to prevent a data model from being built
