There were countless variations in a team battle, but no matter how many variations there were, they were still the same. All sorts of variations would ultimately create a situation where the strong were fighting against the weak.
When Xiao Shiqin saw Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei's coordinates in the chat, he was no longer nervous. Instead, he felt a chill.
The two sides were quite far from each other. How had this distance been created? Xiao Shiqin's group of three chased after Happy's group of four, while Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei chased after Ye Xiu alone.
That's right, it was created while chasing after Happy.
This was the Challenger League's finals, not the in-game Arena where ten random players could play a 5v5. Running while being chased had to be done strategically. It wasn't just blindly running in whichever direction was more convenient. If Happy's escape had a plan, then it meant that the separation between the two teams in Excellent Era was intentional. Then, Ye Xiu easily broke away from Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei's pursuit. If Xiao Shiqin still hadn't realized something, then his tactical acumen would be too lacking. He wouldn't deserve to be called one of the Four Master Tacticians.
"Rendezvous!" After Xiao Shiqin pointed out the coordinates, the three characters on his side completely ignored Happy's group and turned to leave. Happy's group of four, who had just been chased into a sorry state, began to counterattack energetically. They chased after the three and took advantage of the situation. Their attacks were skillful, and it was obvious that they had been trained. Xiao Shiqin's heart sank even more.
Before the three of them could get very far, a figure flashed in front of them.
There were only so many characters on the field. Who could it be that suddenly appeared? Lord Grim!
As expected!
Xiao Shiqin knew that his guess was correct. They had once again fallen into Happy's trap. The previous wave of attacks did not achieve a satisfactory result, but Happy's actions did not stop there. They had long since prepared for the next wave of attacks. Once the two sides of Excellent Era started coordinating with each other, Ye Xiu shook off his opponent and regrouped with them first. Once again, it was a situation where they outnumbered Ye Xiu.
After the coordinates were clearly reported, Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei would also quickly arrive, but before that, Xiao Shiqin and the other two would have to face the combined attacks of the other five. It sounded like five people was only one more than four people, but the problem was that this one person was Ye Xiu, the Happy Happy in Excellent Era, the Ye Xiu who was less of a threat than anyone else.
A pincer attack.
"Charge!" Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher was the first to attack. Shen Jian's Striker, Lian Jin, swung his fists and charged forward. Zhang Jiaxing's Cleric, Woven Shadow, wasn't idle either. He used all sorts of Clerics to harass Lord Grim.
Ye Xiu was scary, but he couldn't possibly block them all by himself, right?
Excellent Era had pursuers behind them, but they were still confident in facing Ye Xiu. The three of them charged forward.
As expected, even Ye Xiu didn't have the ability to block all three of them. These were all pro players, not in-game players. Not only was he unable to block them, but Lord Grim had also taken quite a bit of damage from the combined attacks of the three.
Charge over, meet up with Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei, and then kill Happy. Xiao Shiqin calculated. In the end, he looked left and right. Shen Jian's Lian Jin had come over, but where was Zhang Jiaxing's Cleric, Woven Shadow?
Xiao Shiqin hurriedly had Life Extinguisher turn around to take a look. Tears immediately streamed down his face.
As expected, Ye Xiu didn't have the ability to block all three of them at once, so he hadn't even thought of doing so. He had only wanted to block one of them. Life Extinguisher and Lian Jin had come over, but Zhang Jiaxing's Woven Shadow had been stopped by Lord Grim in the end. He hadn't taken so much damage in vain.
Dragon's Teeth, Sky Strike, Falling Flower Palm.
Turning around, Xiao Shiqin saw Lord Grim skillfully use three low-level Battle Mage combos. After Woven Shadow was hit by Falling Flower Palm, he was immediately sent flying. Happy's group of four had already caught up. Han Yanrou jumped up and caught Woven Shadow in mid-air with a Circle Swing. She swung him around in a big circle and then threw him to the ground.
On the ground, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had already set up several Ghost Boundaries. They were like giant cauldrons, emitting the aura of the Ghost God. They were waiting for the ingredients to enter the cauldron!
Zhang Jiaxing's Woven Shadow was undoubtedly the ingredient. After being thrown into the cauldron by Han Yanrou with a Circle Swing, he immediately began to cook. Little Cold Hands' Holy Commandment Light sprinkled down as seasoning. Dawn Rifle's heavy firepower bombarded him. He was about to start a fire!
Woven Shadow was instantly cooked. In this situation, the Cleric had a hard time saving himself. Because as a Mage class, most of his skills required a cast time. Now that he was under continuous attacks, how could he have time to cast? All he could do was look up to outside help.
Xiao Shiqin was annoyed at his own carelessness. Even though it was a bit difficult to fight against so many, the Cleric had to be saved. Life Extinguisher and Lian Jin turned around to attack, but they were blocked by Lord Grim.
Xiao Shiqin didn't have time to deal with Ye Xiu. Life Extinguisher's long-range attacks were all directed at Woven Shadow. However, Happy's group ignored him and continued to attack.
As for Shen Jian's Lian Jin, he needed to be close to attack. Now that he was blocked by Lord Grim, he couldn't rush over. However, under his obstruction, Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher was able to get a bit closer. But what was the difference between getting close and not getting close? Most of his attacks didn't need to be close. If he used them, the other side would just ignore him. He would rather take more damage to kill Woven Shadow.
Xiao Shiqin knew that this exchange was definitely worth it for the other side. Ignoring the fact that he couldn't kill the target with his own firepower while the other side had a Cleric, even if he could kill the target, he would still be able to earn a Cleric.
The other side didn't care about his firepower. Should he go up and disrupt their attacks? No matter how weak the other side was, there were still four of them. Mechanics weren't a class that could charge around recklessly. With Xiao Shiqin's tactical intelligence, he obviously wouldn't use such a ridiculous method.
Life Extinguisher activated his camera, but his firepower was focused on Little Cold Hands, Team Happy's Cleric.
As expected of a Master Tactician. Helpless, he came up with a plan. How could Team Happy just ignore their own Cleric being attacked?
Team Happy really did ignore him and continued to attack Woven Shadow. Xiao Shiqin wanted to cry. Was there really no way to save Woven Shadow? Kill the other side's Cleric in exchange? The problem was that Woven Shadow was being attacked by three people. He couldn't do anything about it. As for his side? His Life Extinguisher was the only one attacking Little Cold Hands. Even if his skills were so good that Little Cold Hands couldn't struggle, how could his firepower compare to the three of them? Moreover, he had acted a bit too late. If the other side killed Woven Shadow first and came over to help Little Cold Hands, wouldn't his efforts have been for nothing?
At this crucial moment, Xiao Shiqin's decision was still very quick. Life Extinguisher turned his firepower and suddenly attacked Lord Grim.
This move confused everyone. Pan Lin and guest Li Yibo interpreted it as killing Lord Grim in exchange for killing Team Happy's trump card.
The two of them were full of questions. Was Ye Xiu someone who could be killed so easily? Under the combined attacks of Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei, he was able to play hide and seek and escape. It could be seen that even if he was outnumbered, he was still very good at protecting himself. Killing Lord Grim wasn't as realistic as killing Little Cold Hands, right?
But soon, Xiao Shiqin's true intentions were revealed. He gathered firepower and attacked Lord Grim fiercely, freeing Shen Jian. Lian Jin recklessly circled around Lord Grim and rushed towards the other side.
Xiao Shiqin didn't waste any time and turned his firepower towards Han Yanrou and the others. This time, with the help of Shen Jian's Striker, Tang Rou and the others finally had an opening.
Zhang Jiaxing was an experienced pro player. He wasn't like those healers in the game who just needed to be taken care of. Since his teammates had succeeded in breaking the formation, he quickly seized the opportunity and slipped out of the gap with a big stride. Xiao Shiqin was overjoyed and immediately gave him support. Woven Shadow was like a lost lamb that had found its home, tumbling and crawling as he ran over.
The two met up and immediately turned around to leave. After taking two steps, Xiao Shiqin suddenly realized that something was missing. He turned around and cried. Zhang Jiaxing's Cleric, Woven Shadow, had been saved, but Shen Jian's Striker, Lian Jin, had been trapped again.
The audience was stunned.
This was Xiao Shiqin! Because of his existence, Thunderclap, a team that wasn't particularly outstanding, had become a regular in the playoffs. His team had repeatedly caused trouble for the strong teams. He was one of the players that would cause headaches for any team in the Alliance.
But now, his team was actually so careless. They had just lost their Cleric, and now that they had gotten their Cleric back, they had lost their Striker.
Normal characters weren't as precious as healers, but they couldn't just ignore them, right? Both sides had a total of six people in the team competition. Losing one meant that one side's fighting strength was weakened. Many team competitions ended when one side lost their first player and couldn't keep up.
Xiao Shiqin helplessly had Life Extinguisher return. Zhang Jiaxing couldn't just sit by and watch. He was there to play a role, not to be rescued like a princess.
Saving Shen Jian's Striker was relatively easier than saving a healer. The key was that Strikers were strong fighters. With support from the outside, it was easy to find an opening.
With the help of Zhang Jiaxing's Cleric, Woven Shadow, and Sacred Fire, Lian Jin finally rushed out. Just like Woven Shadow, he rushed into the embrace of his team.
"Careful!!" Xiao Shiqin hastily typed out a message, but it wasn't enough to help Shen Jian. Lord Grim suddenly charged out from the side. With a shake of his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, a Circle Swing hit Lian Jin. He ran and swung, catching Lian Jin just like that.
After going in such a big circle, would the first character to die in the team competition still be Lian Jin?
"Heal!!" Xiao Shiqin was like a player in a dungeon, wildly shouting for the healer to heal.
