"Take him down!" With Tang Hao's final shout, Wind Howl's players weren't completely united, but from a certain perspective, their low morale was reignited.
"Wind Howl seems to be very lively?" On Happy's side, the players preparing for the team competition were discussing their final strategy. Chen Guo liked to listen, but the more she listened, the more dizzy she got. If she was distracted, it would be difficult for her to keep up with everyone's discussion. Poor Boss Chen could only look around. Suddenly, she saw that Wind Howl's side seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They were cheering excitedly.
Happy's players had actually been attracted by the cheering from that side. When they looked over, their gazes met with Wind Howl's. Compared to Happy's carefree attitude, Wind Howl's gazes seemed to be directed at a specific person.
"Yes, it looks like our last minute changes are necessary," Ye Xiu said.
Everyone else's gazes turned to Fang Rui. Happy's last minute adjustments for this team competition depended on Fang Rui. He had become the main character today.
"No problem." Fang Rui gave everyone two thumbs up to show his approval.
"Then … let's get ready!" Ye Xiu finally nodded his head.
After the last few minutes of the break, the referee called for the two teams participating in the team competition to head onstage.
Team Happy: Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, Qiao Yifan, An Wenyi, and their sixth player, Baozi.
Team Wind Howl: Tang Hao, Liu Hao, Zhao Yuzhe, Lin Feng, Ruan Yongbin, and their sixth player, Guo Yang.
Team Wind Howl's roster had undergone a transformation in the past two years. Aside from Ruan Yongbin, everyone else had been with the team for less than three years. Zhao Yuzhe was actually one of the most experienced players in Wind Howl. Tang Hao and Guo Yang had been in the team for less than two years, while Liu Hao and Lin Feng had just joined the team last summer. They would only be in the team after this season.
A completely new player lineup had changed Wind Howl's old tactical style, and even their class composition had changed. The Brawler and Thief classes were still there, but the Paladin position, which had been firmly established in the team for many years, was gradually being relegated to the second string this season. Liu Hao's Spellblade was a new class, and Guo Yang's Qi Master had joined the team last season. His position hadn't been stable, but this season, he had finally become a part of the main lineup. It looked like Guo Yang's decision to reject Ye Xiu's invitation to stay in the team wasn't a bad one. At least he finally had a stable position in Team Wind Howl.
There were two teams of twelve people, and there were three pairs of duplicate professions.
Tang Hao and Baozi were Brawlers; Fang Rui and Guo Yang were Qi Masters; An Wenyi and Ruan Yongbin were Priests.
However, because both Baozi and Guo Yang were the sixth player, the starting lineup only consisted of Clerics. As a healer, this wasn't a rare sight.
The players of the two teams went on stage and greeted each other before the match. The players of Wind Howl who had been defeated in the individual competition were clearly in the mood for revenge. The smell of gunpowder was quite thick. The referee stared at the players of the two teams. After confirming that neither side had any excessive verbal or physical contact, he indicated for the players to enter their player booths. The team competition was about to begin.
The die-hard fans of Wind Howl, who had originally been a bit sad and disappointed, suddenly became excited again when they noticed that their team seemed to have cheered up. Wind Howl's team flag began to flutter in the air in Xiaoshan Stadium. Sometimes, what fans wanted was quite simple. They didn't need to see any special results. Just an attitude was enough to make them feel that their support hadn't been in vain.
The countdown began. Several seconds later, the map was loaded, and the two teams began the team competition.
Map, Perry Town Market.
Perry Town was a small town that existed on the Glory continent, and this market had been taken from this small town to be used as a map. In reality, about ninety percent of the maps in Glory were taken from parts of the Glory continent. This kind of connection design was present from the very beginning. Therefore, these capture maps were built with this kind of usage in mind.
Perry Town Market was a town map. The streets, the buildings of different heights, the indoor and outdoor scenes were all very common in this type of map. The market in Perry Town had relatively fewer indoor and outdoor scenes. The large market square alone took up almost half of the map's area. And this square wasn't a large empty space. The market naturally had all sorts of stalls and piles of goods. However, these things had relatively low durability and sturdiness. The entire market could be seen as a scene that could be destroyed.
The starting five characters of the two teams spawned at the two opposite corners of the map.
Happy Unspecialized Lord Grim, Launcher Dancing Rain, Qi Master Hai Wuliang, Ghostblade One Inch Ash, Cleric Little Cold Hands.
Wind Howl's Brawler Demon Subduer, Spellblade Absent Sun, Elementalist Beautiful Light, Thief Doubtful Demon, and Cleric Soul Healer.
Team Wind Howl displayed the morale they had recovered during the halftime break. The entire team got into formation and immediately charged towards the center of the map.
The current Wind Howl fans weren't surprised by this scene, but back when the Criminal Duo was still in charge, Team Wind Howl rarely took on this sort of direct confrontation. But the current Wind Howl, no matter who their opponent was, had the aura of wanting to crush them.
To be honest, at first, the fans liked this aura. Who wouldn't like being able to directly crush their opponents? In the first five rounds of the season, Wind Howl's Devour the Mountains and Rivers truly had the aura of an overlord, crushing their opponents one after another. However, in these five rounds, their opponents were Conquering Clouds, Radiant, Lightly, Bright Green, Miracle … None of them could be considered a strong team. Wind Howl's beautiful opening seemed to owe a bit to the tournament format.
And so, in Round 6, Wind Howl met Samsara, their Devour the Mountains and Rivers met their Waterloo.
And then, in Round 7, their team was annihilated by Tyranny.
Round 8, their team was annihilated by Blue Rain.
Round 9, their team was annihilated by 301 Degrees.
Round 10, Seaside. Wind Howl's spirits rose, their Devour the Mountains and Rivers.
After these ten rounds, Wind Howl was immediately labeled as a fake strong team. They had won against all the weak teams, but when they met a slightly strong team, they immediately fell …
Fortunately, in the next eleven and twelve rounds, Wind Howl won against Misty Rain and Void, viciously proving themselves. But in Round 13, they were wiped out by Hundred Blossoms. In Round 14, they were trampled by Thunder. In Round 15, they lost awkwardly to Royal Style. It wasn't until Round 16 and Round 17, when they met Heavenly Swords and Parade, that Wind Howl suddenly stood up again.
Wind Howl was able to stand in the top eight because they were still very strong against weaker opponents, not losing too many points that they shouldn't have. However, when they met a slightly strong team, their team was instantly defeated. Fake strong team? This label was taken off Wind Howl. Now, players called them soft-footed shrimps, cowards who went soft when they met a strong team.
In this round, after bullying two weak teams, they met a strong team. It was another chance to prove that they weren't soft-footed shrimps. But now, they had been completely wiped out in the individual competition. If they lost in the team competition, they would directly lose zero points. They couldn't be any softer.
But even so, Team Wind Howl still brought out the domineering aura of a king. The five characters, in an extremely standard offensive formation, rushed to the center of the map: Perry Town's market.
The market, which took up half of the map's area, was cut into pieces by all sorts of stalls and goods. Even the players' perspectives were distorted.
Zhao Yuzhe received the signal and immediately had his Beautiful Light jump onto a nearby pile of sacks. After a few jumps, he reached the top. Before he could stabilize his view and take a closer look, a gunshot rang out.
Judging the location of the gunshot, Wind Howl's team instantly found the general direction. They didn't hesitate to advance in that direction. Even Beautiful Light, who had jumped onto the sack pile, was attacked.
Zhao Yuzhe's offense was unbelievably strong. When the gunshot rang out, he quickly adjusted his character's direction and teleported Beautiful Light away with a Teleport. As he dodged and pressed forward, he, who had been attacked, had instead become the one leading the offense.
At this moment, the master of playing dirty, Fang Rui's trash talk mysteriously appeared in the chat: "How fierce!"
Wind Howl's offensive formation had obviously taken care of everything. Seeing this sudden trash talk, the five characters divided up their roles and carefully monitored their surroundings, trying to determine the position of Fang Rui's character.
But, there was no one … the only person they could see was Ye Xiu's Lord Grim.
An ambush!
Even a player would have thought of this situation. Lord Grim was just bait. Happy's other characters had probably already set up an ambush in this chaotic scene.
But Wind Howl didn't retreat. They continued to charge!
To be able to set up an ambush so quickly meant one thing: they didn't bring a healer.
It was a very logical conclusion. Wind Howl's charge was already fast and fierce enough, but if Happy was still able to calmly set up an ambush before them, then there was only one possibility. They had left behind their long-legged healer, who would slow down the entire team.
A team without a healer, an ambush? What's so scary about that!
Wind Howl's captain, Tang Hao, thought this way, so his charge didn't slow down. Liu Hao had his doubts. He wanted to be a bit slower and more cautious, but seeing Tang Hao's determination, he immediately stopped thinking about it and resolutely followed his captain's rhythm. But at this moment, a flame spun in the air and fell towards Wind Howl's formation.
Heat-Seeking Missile!
"Dodge!" Liu Hao subconsciously typed out a warning. His Absent Sun was already desperately trying to send himself out of the Heat-Seeking Missile's attack range. But Tang Hao's Demon Subduer swung his arm and a Brick flew out. In terms of size, the Brick's lighter was much weaker. With the Brick's size, hitting a target was clearly easier than hitting a bullet. The Heat-Seeking Missile's lighter was immediately blocked by the Brick.
Wind Howl's four characters didn't move. Only Liu Hao's Absent Sun sped up a few steps. When he saw this, his cheeks burned, but he didn't forget to immediately shout in the chat: "Captain is mighty."
"If you have the time to shout this kind of nonsense, why don't you control your character a bit?" But this praise in the public chat was met with a taunt from Ye Xiu. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
