The wind didn't slow down and the sand danced in the air.
Han Wenqing's 1v3 wasn't just because of his courage. Tyranny had specifically chosen this terrain to be his home, and he was perfectly utilizing it. On top of the moving sand dunes, Desert Dust's movements were clearly faster and more nimble than Happy's group. His attacks would occasionally create waves of sand, creating a moving body of sand. This was a huge problem for Happy's group.
Fang Rui and Su Mucheng relied on their experience to adapt to the current rhythm of the sand dunes. However, they couldn't handle Han Wenqing's constant changes. They had to focus a lot of their energy on the sand dunes. As for Tang Rou, she was having an even harder time. She lacked experience in Glory. She relied more on her reaction speed and hand speed to deal with the situation. The amount of energy she had to split was frightening.
As a result, Han Wenqing was able to withstand the attacks of the three of them by himself!
He didn't need to defeat his opponents. He just needed to stop the three of them. Once Tyranny killed Happy's Little Cold Hands, the situation would be set.
Happy's group obviously understood this crucial point. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim chased after Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock, leaving this area to them. As long as they could break through and protect the healer, the healer would be able to do his job. As a result, it would become a 4v4. One side had a healer and the other didn't. What was even more fatal was that Ye Xiu was in a 1v1 with Tyranny's healer …
It looked like he had no other choice after being hit by Sacred Fire. His helplessness in chasing after Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock had become an incomparably crucial piece on the chessboard. However, he needed Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, and Tang Rou to open up the situation for this piece to shine brightly.
Three against one, breakthrough …
The mission given to them couldn't be said to be difficult. Those who understood the tactical intent were all amazed by Ye Xiu's Lord Grim decisively chasing after Immovable Rock. They all felt that this was the key to a godly turn of events.
But who would have thought that even with three against one, they still couldn't break through!
The three of them were to be blamed for not putting in enough effort. They really couldn't be said to have dropped the ball. Every expert watching the match put themselves in Lone Desert Smoke's shoes. None of them felt that they could easily break through this blockade.
It always takes some getting used to.
Everyone watched as the wind picked up speed. Under Desert Dust's constant punches and kicks, the rhythm of the battle kept changing. They were all wondering what they would do if they were in his position.
This was a habit that pro players had of constantly strengthening themselves. Only in very harsh situations would they make such a serious consideration of themselves.
Time passed.
Even though Dancing Rain could occasionally send out a few long-range attacks, they weren't enough to affect Tyranny's three long-range attacks. Happy and the other two didn't take much damage, but An Wenyi was having a hard time. He was being bombarded by two Gunners and an Elementalist, two of whom were AoE killers. He suddenly felt like there was no way out.
"I don't believe it!!" Fang Rui's message jumped in the chat. Hai Wuliang suddenly retreated. Su Mucheng saw this and Dancing Rain also retreated.
Yes yes yes …
The experts watching the match nodded their heads. This was taking advantage of the Striker's short attack range and small area of effect. Retreating and circling around might be a bit too far, but compared to a frontal assault, it would solve the problem.
Hai Wuliang and Dancing Rain not only retreated, but also went left and right, trying to keep Han Wenqing busy.
Who would have thought that Han Wenqing didn't seem to be troubled at all. He didn't even look at the two characters, as if he already knew that the other side would respond like this. At this moment, he was giving all of Desert Dust's attacks to Tang Rou's Han Yanrou.
In the group arena, the two faced each other. After an intense battle, Tang Rou relied on her character's health advantage to defeat Han Wenqing.
But now, in the team arena, once again, Tang Rou was at a complete disadvantage.
The map's influence was too great. In this environment, Tang Rou couldn't focus on her attacks. In just a few exchanges, Desert Dust used Emperor's Fist, sending Han Yanrou flying back ten steps.
Turn around, charge!
Desert Dust actually rushed towards Little Cold Hands before Dancing Rain and Hai Wuliang did.
Kill!
His intentions were too clear.
Dancing Rain and Hai Wuliang chased after him. Suddenly, a dense barrage of attacks flew towards the two characters.
Attack swap!
Team Tyranny actually made a swap at this moment. Han Wenqing's Desert Dust attacked Little Cold Hands, and the three long-ranged attackers suddenly fired at Dancing Rain and Hai Wuliang.
Hundred Blossoms, the AoE attack of an Elementalist, instantly covered a large area. Even if Hai Wuliang activated Qi Wave Shield, there was no way he could completely protect the two characters. Dancing Rain didn't even need to be mentioned. Launchers didn't have this type of defensive skill.
Charging head-on wasn't a wise move. Su Mucheng could only have Dancing Rain counterattack and see if she could create an opening.
"If this situation can be maintained, it's not too bad for Happy." In the broadcast, guest Li Yibo was analyzing the changes that had just occurred.
"This way, the healers on both sides will be dealing 1v1 damage. In the end, it's very likely that they'll have to force a swap," he said.
"Oh …" Pan Lin understood. At this moment, the broadcast shifted the focus to Ye Xiu and Zhang Xinjie.
This season's strongest unspecialized versus the weakest Cleric, there was no suspense as to who would die. The question was how long it would take.
Lord Grim had already unsealed his Sacred Fire. With a few quick moves, he easily caught up to Immovable Rock. The two characters were a bit far from each other. They were no longer on the sand dune.
Ye Xiu didn't hold back. Zhang Xinjie stubbornly persisted.
The two Master Tacticians obviously knew what the key point of the battle was. It could even be said that this key point was formed by the clash of their tactics.
However, the two didn't care about the key point of the battle, not even a glance.
Even though he was only facing a Cleric, Ye Xiu didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Because from the direction Immovable Rock was running towards, he could see another layer of Zhang Xinjie's intentions.
Not far ahead, there was a player exchange area!
Swapping was a system decision. It couldn't be interrupted by any attacks. Once he got there, Zhang Xinjie could switch with Tyranny's sixth player, Lin Jingyan, at any time.
Of course, there was a time limit for swapping. The two of them couldn't risk their lives by swapping in the support zone. However, as long as this swap succeeded, Tyranny's incredibly important healer would be saved. As for the other side, Tyranny had the initiative. Happy's healer couldn't save him. Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock was able to escape. The situation couldn't be worse than this.
Little Cold Hands was saved in the end. For Tyranny, he wouldn't be able to hold them back. They would definitely retreat first and then switch with Zhang Xinjie.
Both inside and outside, Tyranny was worthy of their reputation. Zhang Xinjie liked to play this type of safe and sound plan.
Ye Xiu obviously wouldn't let him succeed. Lord Grim stubbornly clung onto Immovable Rock, not giving him another chance to advance.
Zhang Xinjie obviously wouldn't pray for Ye Xiu to make a mistake. He would never place his hopes on luck. He was persevering, but at the same time, he was waiting. He was waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity when his opponent's attacks would give him a slight opening.
It's here!
Zhang Xinjie was steady and cautious. This type of personality easily gave people the impression that his hand speed wasn't too high and that he was playing with efficiency. However, according to the Alliance's average hand speed rankings, ever since Zhang Xinjie had joined the Glory Alliance, he had never fallen out of the top ten!
Glory's number one healer's reaction speed and hand speed were among the top even in the high-end pro scene.
Charge!
The priest in a long robe suddenly used such a bold knight skill.
However, for those who were familiar with the Glory pro scene, this wasn't anything new. Pro characters were born for PvP. As a result, their choice of skills was very different from in-game players, who also had to take care of dungeon quests or simply focused on dungeon quests.
For a healer who only served PvP, learning a low-level Charge from a Priest class Knight wasn't strange at all. When an opponent closed in, it would increase movement speed and escape. It was very useful.
Immovable Rock had used Charge at the start of his escape, but in the end, his movement speed couldn't compare to an unspecialized. He was quickly caught. Zhang Xinjie wasn't in a hurry to use Charge. He wouldn't underestimate Ye Xiu.
Even if it was an instant skill, it still needed time.
He finally realized that this mismatch was exactly what he needed. Thus, in an instant, he rushed out like a warrior without hesitation.
Hua!
As soon as Immovable Rock moved, his view was blocked.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield had been opened. In the end, Ye Xiu reacted. The umbrella's area was large, so it blocked the Charge at the edge.
It had to be said that a Cleric's Charge was very beautiful. Their weapon was usually a cross. When they charged, the cross would float in front of them, emitting a holy white light, as if it was guiding them towards the light. But now, the light met the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield.
However, a Charge couldn't be blocked by a shield. Moreover, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield was large, but its quality was low. In terms of priority, it was a relatively weak shield. Even if a Cleric's Charge wasn't as strong as a Knight's, it couldn't be blocked completely.
Immovable Rock's Silver weapon, Backlight's cross, shone with white light, guiding Immovable Rock forward.
Lord Grim twisted his body, adjusting his center of gravity a bit, and slid backwards in front of Immovable Rock.
The distance he slid out was unexpected. Terrain. Too many people were surprised by the terrain. The two characters were still in the desert. The sand beneath their feet was slippery. As they slid backwards, the sand opened up a path for them. The friction wasn't as good as on flat ground. By the time their feet sank into the sand and formed an effective resistance, the skill's Charge was almost there.
It was farther than anyone had expected, but it wasn't enough to enter the support zone. But at this moment, a ray of light exploded from the Backlight's cross, forming a circle. It looked very powerful, but the sand was calm and unaffected. On the other hand, Lord Grim, even with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield, was forced back several steps by the light.
Paladin skill: Angel's Might!
