A cold light flashed!
The number one Assassin in Glory, Scene Killer's Shining Cut, was much faster and fiercer than an unspecialized like Lord Grim. Moreover, Scene Killer's weapons were dual swords. Although their attack speed wasn't as fast as daggers, their attack power and attack range were much higher than daggers. Different weapons would naturally produce different Shining Cut. For daggers, there was only a flash of cold light. For Scene Killer's dual swords, the cold light formed a crisscrossing cross and then scattered to the left and right.
Two arrows of blood flew out from this crisscrossing cross, but at the same time, three explosions rang out. The flames of the explosions directly spread between the two characters.
Su Mucheng's reaction wasn't slow either. She saw the commotion from the corner of her eye and knew that she couldn't dodge the Aerial Cannon. She could only hastily change the direction of her cannon and exchange attacks with her opponent.
The Shining Cut cut into Dancing Rain, but it couldn't stop the Anti-Tank Missile from flying out.
The impact of the explosion immediately knocked Scene Killer to the side. The powerful recoil also reversed the trajectory of Dancing Rain's Aerial Cannon. Scene Killer's attack closed the distance, but he was quickly pushed aside. How could Yang Cong let this opportunity slip by? He adjusted his position and view. As soon as Scene Killer's feet touched the ground, he shot towards Dancing Rain like an arrow.
Dancing Rain raised her cannon and fired. Although it was only a normal attack, with the help of a backwards jump, she bombarded Scene Killer while sending her character backwards, increasing the distance between the two sides.
However, Yang Cong had been prepared for this moment. After all, Su Mucheng was also a skilled and experienced player. It was very likely that he wouldn't be able to close the distance in one move. Yang Cong had prepared a backup plan.
Swift Step!
This skill had a long cooldown, but Yang Cong had prepared it beforehand. It could be seen that in this match, he had truly planned for every step he took.
Swift Step plus Swift Step was the number one movement speed in Glory. Scene Killer's figure was so fast that he was like a blur. When he flitted past Dancing Rain's cannon, it was almost impossible to see his dodging movements.
Heart-Piercing Stab!
Scene Killer instantly caught up to Dancing Rain. His dual swords slashed out, sending out two cold lights.
Boom!
Yang Cong did not expect that Su Mucheng would use the same trick again. After the previous normal attack, she originally had the opportunity to attack again to obstruct him, but she deliberately didn't. Lowering her hand cannon seemed to be a natural movement when retreating, but in reality, she was hiding the muzzle and secretly charging a cannon.
Scene Killer had arrived in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, Yang Cong didn't have time to notice such an unremarkable detail. By the time he neared, his dual swords Dancing Shadows stabbed out, while Dancing Rain's heavy cannon Devouring Sun pressed against Scene Killer's chest like a knife.
Normal attacks?
Of course not.
A Gunner's normal attack would be a Shot. Directly smashing someone with a Gun would require a skill. For example, a Launcher's knock-up skill, Pull, would throw the target into the air. However, Dancing Rain's attack clearly wasn't a knock-up skill. The muzzle of the cannon swallowed inward, and the hand cannon shortened by a section. Only then did Yang Cong realize that this was a charged cannon. At this moment, it was too late for him to dodge. Devouring Sun's muzzle flicked outwards, and the cannon shell flew out, once again unscientifically hitting the target at zero range. The explosion detonated between the two characters. The power of the charged cannon was stronger than the combined power of the three Anti-Tank Missiles. Scene Killer was thrown even further away, and Dancing Rain used the recoil of this attack to continue retreating.
Afterwards, he still couldn't push Dancing Rain away, but Yang Cong was satisfied with the current situation. At the very least, he had managed to delay Su Mucheng. Happy was unable to seize the high ground, so their strategy …
"Enemy encountered!"
Who would have thought that at this moment, a message would suddenly pop up in 301's chat. It was from Paladin player Sun Mingjin.
Yang Cong was startled. He had a general understanding of this map. 301's group had encountered an enemy before they even reached the Paulownia Tower. There was only one possibility: the enemy's target had not been the Paulownia Tower from the start. Instead, they had predicted 301's attack and directly cut in to intercept.
If Team Happy's goal from the start wasn't to seize the high ground, then his attempt to intercept Dancing Rain would have been meaningless.
However, Dancing Rain just had to appear here, as if she wanted to seize the high ground.
This is …
"How many people are on the other side!" Yang Cong hastily asked in the chat.
"4" was a simple number, without any punctuation. This was the rhythm of an intense battle.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain!
Yang Cong's mind was suddenly filled with this phrase.
He had tried to intercept Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain and destroy Happy's plan to seize the high ground.
But what was Happy's goal in seizing the high ground? Clearly, it was to better observe 301 Degrees' tactical movements and discover the Life-Risking Strike tactic that they had been so adept at recently.
Thus, Yang Cong had completed his mission of intercepting Dancing Rain, but at the same time, what about 301's usual tactic? Without his Assassin, how could they have used Life-Risking Strike to kill the opponent's key character?
Beat them at their own game!
The Glory Textbook, one of the Four Master Tacticians, Ye Xiu's most proficient playstyle. As a Season 3 player, Yang Cong had seen it more than once, or had personally experienced it.
But even now, it was still impossible to guard against.
From the first day Ye Xiu entered the Alliance, it seemed like he had more skill than anyone else, more comprehensive knowledge, and more profound tactical theories. He was like a transmigrator who had never been here before, walking in front of everyone in everything. He created countless playstyles, he designed countless tactics, he came up with countless theories.
Who could beat them at their own game? Who else could master this strategy better than this Glory pioneer?
No one's calculations, no one's awareness, seemed to be able to escape from his grasp. Then, he would lightly and nimbly take one more step than you, walking in front of you. When you realized it, you suddenly realized it. When you thought about it in reverse, you felt like everything was so simple. But what about before? You just couldn't think that far ahead, couldn't think that the opponent would go in such a roundabout way.
301 needed to provide cover for Life-Risking Strike.
So Happy needed to break Life-Risking Strike.
So Happy needed to take the high ground.
So 301, in order to protect their own playstyle, couldn't let Happy take the high ground.
So 301's fastest player, Scene Killer, came here.
And then, Dancing Rain, who was most suited for taking the high ground, also came here.
Scene Killer successfully intercepted Dancing Rain, but at the same time, without Scene Killer, 301's team couldn't use Life-Risking Strike under cover.
301 couldn't use Life-Risking Strike. Was it that important for Happy to take the high ground?
Back and forth, in a big circle, 301 was the one at a disadvantage.
They couldn't use the tactics they were used to in the second half of the season, the tactics that had made many teams suffer.
And Happy's theory for breaking it was so simple.
If the person who used Life-Risking Strike wasn't there, then of course they couldn't use Life-Risking Strike. It was a simple logic that even a child would understand, but 301 just had to fall for it. Yang Cong had rushed into this trap.
Scene Killer turned around and wanted to leave, but this time, it was Dancing Rain who wouldn't let him go.
It was very painful for a melee fighter to be chased by a ranged fighter.
Because you could only desperately run and dodge until you escaped from the opponent's attack range. You couldn't counterattack. If you counterattacked, you had to close in. Close in and escape, these were clearly opposites.
For many years, Yang Cong's Assassin image had been a warrior charging on the battlefield. This season, he had changed into a Deathsworn who would sacrifice his life for the sake of his goal. Yang Cong wasn't particularly good at running away. No matter how he fought, his Assassin was always hot-blooded. Playing dirty was a common style of Nightwalker classes, but it wasn't reflected in him much.
The gunfire chased after Scene Killer's footsteps. Yang Cong was having a hard time escaping.
He had already given up on completely escaping from Dancing Rain's gunfire. He just ran like this and quickly met up with his team, so that he could integrate with their playstyle.
Under the constant attacks, even Scene Killer, whose movement speed was top notch, was slowed down by a lot. Finally, a group of figures appeared in his field of view. There were his brothers from 301, as well as Happy's group of opponents.
I'm almost there!
Yang Cong's heart was filled with consolation, but soon, when he saw the large shadow in his field of view, he suddenly couldn't smile.
Yang Cong raised his head and looked behind him.
This was the shadow of the Paulownia Tower cast by the sun. It lay horizontally on the ground, and not far in front of it was the battlefield between the two teams.
He could have Scene Killer rush over and meet up with his teammates, but then what? Then, he believed that Su Mucheng, who had been chasing after him, would definitely let him go, because she would have Dancing Rain climb up the Paulownia Tower and observe 301's tactical changes from a vantage point.
He had worked so hard to run all the way back, only to encounter such an awkward situation? Had the opponent already planned for this?
So from the very beginning, from the moment he had the idea of intercepting Su Mucheng, he had only one choice.
Kill Su Mucheng!
Only then could he avoid this awkward situation. Only then would he be able to smoothly meet up with his team and smoothly execute the playstyle they were good at.
Apart from this, there was no other choice!
Yang Cong had already made up his mind, but Scene Killer still rushed towards the battlefield, as if he hadn't realized this point.
Sure enough, Su Mucheng did as he expected. She quickly gave up on chasing after him and entered the Paulownia Tower to reach the top.
Yang Cong intentionally slowed down Scene Killer's movements. After estimating Dancing Rain's climbing speed, he decisively turned around and attacked!
He wanted to block Dancing Rain inside the tower. Otherwise, if he directly chased after her like before, who knew where Su Mucheng's kite would drag him.
But just as Scene Killer was about to reach the Paulownia Tower, Yang Cong suddenly froze. He realized that this time, he really had made a mistake that he shouldn't have.
If he caught up from here, would he be able to block Dancing Rain inside the tower? When she reached the top, she would directly jump down …
What a laughable running around in circles!
