Soon, Wang Tong realized that his opponent was trying to stall for time. It would be difficult for Wang Tong to attack the radar station since his opponent was playing a tactical game with him. However, Wang Tong knew that Flash's mech was about to collapse under Wang Tong's control, and Wang Tong's mech was still very tenacious.
However, this was Flash's home ground, and his second mech could be replenished in time. On the other hand, the key to the Art of the Soaring Heaven was to destroy the radar station.
Who would have thought that the decisive moment would be the beginning of the battle? Flash was only slightly weaker than Wang Tong in the early stage of the battle. He traded two mechs for one of Wang Tong's. Soon, Wang Tong's second mech arrived. Since Flash's stealth unit was already in the process of building up, he had to destroy the radar station first. Otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage.
Even so, Wang Tong was still confident that he could destroy his opponent's radar station!
As long as the second mech arrived, Flash wouldn't be able to escape for long.
However, Flash did something shocking. His engineers had secretly gone to build a second base. At this time, he had actually delayed the production of troops and made such a bold move. Because each base only had enough resources to build one radar station, Flash knew very well that he would not be able to withstand it. The real Art of the Soaring Heaven was to take it head-on while the other party was still aware of it.
At this moment, Flash had shown his full control of the situation. He had achieved his goal of delaying Wang Tong's attack. Wang Tong's stealth unit wouldn't be able to attack before the radar station was destroyed, otherwise, the whole battle would be in vain. This was no longer the problem of the beginning of the battle, but the key to achieving the goal of the battle.
Just like when he and Wang Tong were fighting for the third base at the beginning, this was the deciding factor.
Now, the focus of the battle was whether the Art of the Soaring Heaven could achieve its goal.
Therefore, Flash had built an empty fortress without a single fighter in it. After trading one and a half damaged mechs for Wang Tong's first mech, he used the resources he had accumulated to build a second base.
It was a sneak attack!
Once Wang Tong found out, he would immediately surrender.
However, Flash had predicted that Wang Tong's mech would be the first to arrive, and his stealth unit would be on standby.
If either of these two conditions were missing, it would lead to a complete failure.
However, Flash's calculations were very accurate. Who would have thought that Flash would use such an ultimate move when speed was the most important thing in the game?
Two minutes later, despite Flash's best efforts, the radar station was still destroyed. The invisible soldiers entered and began to attack the base. Although Flash's defense team had also come out and had the advantage of defense, there was nothing they could do.
Just as the base's defense facilities were about to fail, the radar appeared and the counterattack began.
Wang Tong's invisible soldiers didn't even have time to retreat before they were killed by the Defensive Vigor.
It was another close call.
By the time Wang Tong realized what was happening, it was already too late. He didn't have enough men to fight back, and the Invisible Soldier's technology was much more advanced.
Flash, on the other hand, coordinated with the anti-air and ground forces to defend.
This defense … was really like Wang Tong's wretched style. He did not attack at all, and instead, the two bases were tightly surrounded.
After the defense was stabilized, the next step was to start operating the two bases. However, Wang Tong didn't dare to expand his economy, because if he did, he wouldn't have enough men to guard both bases. If the Art of the Iron Wall was too conservative, then the Art of the Soaring Heaven was too extreme.
Overall, Flash couldn't be considered to have cracked the Art of the Soaring Heaven. However, in reality, there were many factors that could affect the outcome of a battle, and a small ambush could change the outcome of the battle. Flash had taken the risk to the extreme. He knew that Wang Tong would definitely use the Art of the Soaring Heaven, and he also knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand the first radar. The only solution was to use the second base's radar. However, this was impossible in the early stages of the game, because it would take too much damage, and there was no way he could defend against it.
However, since everyone thought that it was impossible, it was an opportunity!
Therefore, Flash had gained a slight advantage, but it was more than enough. The Art of the Soaring Heaven was blocked, and Wang Tong soon arrived at the second base. However, the problem was that Wang Tong's economy wasn't as good as Flash's.
In the middle stages of the game, Flash didn't wait for the third base, but instead, he attacked the second base without any intention of expanding.
In the end, Wang Tong was no longer able to keep up with Flash's pace. Even though Wang Tong had the technology advantage, he still couldn't produce enough troops.
In the end, there was another gap between Wang Tong and Wang Tong.
The flawless commander-in-chief had won the match!
It was a tie, two to two!
The entire audience stood up and cheered. Everyone was boiling with excitement. This wasn't about who won or lost, but rather, they were cheering for a soul-stirring, high-level battle.
Of course, the supporters of Wang Tong couldn't help but be serious, because the final match was about to be decided.
"This is the most exciting match I've ever seen since I became a commentator. Unbelievable!" The veteran commentator, who was also the vice-director of Starlight Academy's Tactical Research Institute, sighed.
"Indeed, the standards of these two students are higher than their peers!"
There was no need for compliments, as both of them had used everything they could to their fullest potential.
However, in this match, Flash's comeback seemed to be a simple fluke, but in fact, every step of his was calculated and precise. Flash was the only one in this world who was capable of grasping Wang Tong's mentality, controlling the situation, and even the timing at the end.
The other contestants would definitely feel pressured after watching such a match.
The question was, what would happen to Wang Tong after his Art of the Soaring Heaven was nullified?
Just like the first match, Wang Tong defeated Flash with an airdrop, and this time, Flash defeated Wang Tong by stealing a base. The same strategy wouldn't work this time.
However, no one knew what would happen on the battlefield.
Strategies were dead, but people were alive. Some strategies were powerful not only because of the strategy itself, but also because of the controller.
That was the key.
On the screen, Wang Tong seemed to be deep in thought. His defeat shouldn't be a big deal, but he was worried about his mentality.
"Haha, I bet Wang Tong was thinking about how to thank Wang Tong for his success, but he was defeated by Boss. Good, once he loses his mentality, he'll be full of openings!" Kal applauded.
Both of them were risking their lives, and one wrong move would be the end of the match.
"Very good, you're indeed a flawless commander-in-chief. Wang Tong's mentality is messed up, and it won't be easy for him to adjust his mentality!" Bisu clenched his fist.
Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Kal had said, Wang Tong was overconfident and thought that his Art of the Soaring Heaven would definitely win this match. His defeat would definitely cause him to lose his mentality.
Battlecraft Combat was different from METAL Combat. In METAL Combat, ninety percent of the battle was decided by one's true strength, but in Battlecraft Combat, it was only sixty percent. The rest depended on one's performance, especially when both sides were on the same level. In METAL Combat, both sides would be heavily injured, but in Battlecraft Combat, it all depended on one's performance, and the one who performed better would have the overall advantage.
This was another psychological battle.
Unfortunately, Flash had the upper hand in the final match.
Ma Xiaoru started to get nervous. She was confident in Wang Tong, but she couldn't believe that Flash was able to find a way to counter Art of the Soaring Heaven.
What would Wang Tong use next?
To be honest, it didn't matter what strategy he used, but he couldn't afford to hesitate, or else he would have to admit defeat.
Li Ruo-Er didn't know how to feel when she saw Ma Xiaoru's anxious expression. She felt helpless, because this match had nothing to do with her. Although she had practiced Tactics of the Enchantress, she was still a normal girl. She used to think that Tactics of the Enchantress were silly and naive, but now she was envious of them.
Everyone was staring at Wang Tong, because something was wrong with him.
Li Shiming finally smiled. Although this was only a Battlecraft Combat tournament, if he were to fall here, it would definitely affect his performance in the METAL Combat later on. Psychological barriers were much harder to overcome than martial arts bottlenecks.
Flash had done a good job.
Wang Tong had grown up in the Battlecraft Combat, so he wouldn't be able to handle the ups and downs.
Glory was right in front of them, but in the blink of an eye, it was all gone. This kind of ups and downs wasn't something you could calm down just because you wanted to.
Flash was going to win the fifth match!
If he really was the successor of another Ace, it would be the end of the match.
"Mr. Wang Tong, Mr. Wang Tong, the match is about to begin."
The judge asked. Wang Tong was still motionless, as if he was resting with his eyes closed. However, the match was about to begin, and Wang Tong didn't have much time to rest.
"Mr. Wang Tong, there are only two minutes left. Please get ready, or else you will be disqualified."
Flash didn't rush Wang Tong, instead, he waited patiently. To be honest, Wang Tong was his most respected opponent, and it was a pleasure to fight against him. Only an opponent like Wang Tong was able to improve his strength and reach his current level. However, it was a one-log bridge, and only one person could cross it.
If it were KKK, he would have tried to mess up Wang Tong by pressuring the judge, but Flash didn't do that. He even asked the judge to wait until the last second.
Wang Tong finally opened his eyes and nodded at the judge when the match was about to begin.
The fifth match was about to begin!
As soon as the match began, the audience burst into wild screams and cheers. Would this final showdown be a one-sided victory or a fierce battle?
On the screen, Wang Tong activated Art of the Soaring Heaven!
Flash activated Art of the Soaring Heaven!
