The formation module allowed Ma Lu to quickly understand the three witches in his team, but compared to the Meat Pigeon mode of the previous realm, this at best could be considered a convenience feature.
Ma Lu's eyes shifted to the last available diamond-shaped module—combat.
If there were any features that could greatly enhance combat capabilities in this cheat, they would likely be found within the upgrade and combat systems.
Given that upgrades were not currently an option, the combat system was the most likely to be of immediate use.
As he opened the combat module, a chessboard unfolded on the circular screen in front of him the next moment.
——Lines intersecting horizontally and vertically created a grid, upon which were shadows of hills, forests, streams...
Ma Lu even located the abandoned warehouse right in front of them on the chessboard, and although it was just a network of lines, the representation was very accurate.
Moreover, Ma Lu found that he could zoom in on any area of the chessboard, adjust the perspective, and even enter the interiors of buildings.
For example, the warehouse in front of them—although he still couldn't see specific details—the internal structure of the building, including the layout of the rooms and the hallway outside, was clearly presented.
Ma Lu noticed that inside one of the second-floor rooms there was 1 small blue dot tangled with 2 small red dots, while 4 more small red dots were quickly approaching the door down the hall.
Next, Ma Lu clicked on the Hellhound's avatar above the blue dot, and three options popped up: establish communication, unlock weapon, and self-destruct; he chose the first.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me talking?"
"Knight?!!!"
A surprised voice came from the Hellhound on the other end, but she quickly caught on, "No, the Knight is already dead, who are you?!"
"No time to explain, you're about to be surrounded. Leave that room quickly while you still have time," said Ma Lu.
"Why should I trust some shady guy?" retorted the Hellhound, wary.
Meanwhile, Ma Lu heard the sound of fighting from the other side, and the Hellhound's HP dropped by 4 points to 37.
But that didn't stop her. The Hellhound kicked up a foot, breaking open the decayed door, and rushed in without hesitation.
After scanning the surroundings, she spotted a large hole in the floor, and a smug smile spread across the purple-haired girl's face; this time, she didn't need Ma Lu to command her to know what to do.
The Hellhound leaped, jumping through the hole.
"Keep going straight!" the voice rang in her ears after landing.
The emergence from a desperate situation made the purple-haired girl's heart suddenly see the light, and even the voice in her ear didn't sound as annoying anymore. She also finally managed to spare some brainpower for matters other than escape, identifying the owner of the voice behind it.
"It's you!" the Hellhound exclaimed, running as she spoke, "Why are you wearing knight's armor?"
"Wasn't it you who wanted me to become your knight?" Ma Lu retorted.
"Hah, you just got lucky and guessed right," the Hellhound paused, then asked, "Have you entered the warehouse too?"
"No, but Yun Que and I are close, just hang in there a bit longer."
The Hellhound hesitated, "If you're not here, how did you know I was being attacked? And about that escape route, have you been here before? No, even if you had been here, there's no way you'd know where those annoying bastards would come from."
"This is the art of command, you wouldn't understand," Ma Lu said, "Just do as I say, I'll help you plan a route to get out."
But this time, it was the Hellhound's turn to refuse, "No, I must get that silver box, I already know where it is!"
"Don't overdo it, you're already hurt."
"It's just a minor injury, it doesn't matter," the Hellhound said, "If it weren't for you refusing to unlock my weapons, I would have killed all those in my way!"
"No, you need to conserve your magic power for something more important,"
While Ma Lu responded offhand, he continued to study the chessboard in front of him, which held more information than he had expected.
Not only did it show the terrain and the number of friends and foes, but it also displayed their HP, and even the enemies' names and weaknesses were all marked.
This truly was a classic version of Battle Flag II.
When Ma Lu's gaze fell on the names of those red dots, he couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
