Chapter 131 Cover Strategy
Boneyard could be considered fairly spacious and empty. Looking at the map: gravestones, coffins, and withered trees were the three most prominent scenery.
As pro-players, Tiny Herbs four players werent scared. Seeing that their opponents had chased them, they immediately began seizing the strategic high grounds. Right now, the four were together. But if they still ran away, then itd be quite difficult to explain.
The four characters each held their own positions. From an overall perspective, their coordination wasnt bad.
Ye Xiu saw this and immediately blocked Steamed Bun Invasion from advancing: Dont rush.
My Brick has already been waiting impatiently for too long. Steamed Bun Invasion said.
This is a real team battle. Ye Xiu said, Have you watched any of the Pro Alliances matches?
Steamed Bun Invasion obviously said that he hadnt. Seven Fields said he did. Sleeping Moon said obviously. Tang Rou didnt say anything. She had watched a total of one, so she didnt know if that counted as having watched them or not.
Remember their positions well. Well attack them one by one. Ye Xiu said.
Brother expert, you should set it up! Seven Fields made a fist.
Cross Formation. Steamed Bun Invasion at the front. Seven Fields on the left. Little Moon Moon in the middle. Tang Rou at the back. Myself at the right. Everyone follow me while staying in formation. Dont break order. Ye Xiu said.
Sleeping Moon heard Little Moon Moon! He didnt want to cooperate, but he was at the middle. The others all depended on him as the center. The four instantly moved to their front, back, left, right position and he had no choice but to cooperate.
Lord Grim moved and the four immediately followed.
Liu Feis Fallen Angel was currently hiding behind a coffin. With regards to Gunners, those types of long-ranged classes, using a cover when fighting with an opponent was a common strategy. But using a shield had its advantages and disadvantages. When they hid, the cover blocked not only the enemys field of view, but also their own. So they had no way of knowing the entire situation.
However, in a team, this flaw was covered. Team members could communicate with each other to understand the parts they couldnt see.
White Night Black Day and Ashen Moon werent considered long-ranged classes, but they still found a place to hide. With their overlapping views, they could understand the field clearly. In the end, pro-players were still pro-players. This type of defense for attack strategy was quite simple for them.
The other side is in a Cross Formation. The Brawler at the front, Striker on the left, Blade Master in the middle, Battle Mage in the back, Lord Grim on the right. White Night Black Day informed everyone of their opponents positioning.
Theyre advancing towards Yifan. Gao Yingjie said.
Ah...... Qiao Yifan tensed up.
Fei Fei get their attention! Zhou Yebai said. At this moment, Xiao Yun wasnt there yet, so he acted as the temporarily leader for now.
Okay! Liu Fei answered. She suddenly moved. Fallen Angel rolled out from a coffin, crouched, c*cked her gun, and fired.
Peng! A gun sound rang out and blood blossomed out from Fallen Angels forehead.
Liu Fei was extremely astonished. She didnt think that she would be the first one to be hit by a shot. On the opponents side, smoke slowly drifted out from the tip of Lord Grims umbrella-like thing.
Bullets affected the characters positioning. Hand cannons had the largest push back and had the highest attack. Next was the rifle and last was the handgun.
The Thousand Chance Umbrellas bullets belonged to the Rifle type. Its firing rate wasnt as fast as the revolver or handgun, but it had a higher impact.
Fallen Angel staggered back after being hit by the bullet. Liu Feis intended surprise attack flew off.
But as a pro-player, she obviously possessed the ability to adapt. Liu Fei controlled Fallen Angel to run back to position, while continuing to fire back.
Peng! A second shot rang out and more blood blossomed from Fallen Angels body. Her body was hit askew and her counterfire missed again.
Liu Fei was even more astonished.
Her opponents timing was too perfect, just happening to hit the instant she fired.
If she had been hit slightly earlier, then Liu Fei would have had time to adjust her shot, so it wouldnt go crooked. If she had been hit slightly later, then obviously, Falling Angels bullet would have already flew out and both of them would be hit.
In the end, her opponents bullet had hit her twice in the instant her Fallen Angel had fired, making Liu Fei unable to adjust in time.
As a Gunner, Liu Fei knew how difficult it was to pull off such precise timing. She had always thought that that type of legend that could only be done in theory, yet she had just been hit twice like that just now.
The opponents Cross Formation had already adjusted towards a new target. They were now rushing towards her. No matter what had happened, on a whole, she had grabbed the enemys attention.
Liu Fei didnt dare remain out in the open. She hastily ran towards another hiding place.
Peng Peng!
Two shots in a row hit the tombstone she was hiding behind, stone broke off swirling in the air. Afterwards, she heard a muffled sound as if something had smashed into the tombstone. It didnt seem like a bullet. Liu Fei was very curious, but she didnt dare expose her head.
No, no. The angle wasnt good. It was a bit under. Ye Xiu was still leisurely instructing Steamed Bun Invasion, telling him that the angle the Brick he had just thrown was off.
It looks like the distance between us is a bit too far? Steamed Bun Invasion asked.
You can jump up to make the Brick fly farther! Ye Xiu said.
Oh right! Steamed Bun Invasion exclaimed.
Crash! Another thing directly hit the tombstone. That sound resounded in her ears and she heard it too vividly. Liu Fei jumped up in fright.
What was that? Liu Fei asked her teammates.
Brick...... The people who had saw couldnt help but answer.
Brick?
Hes practicing what angle he needed to throw the Brick and one just happened to smash into the tombstone you were hiding behind. Zhou Yebai said.
Prac......practice? Liu Fei was speechless. What exactly were they doing?
Crash! Another Brick came over, making the tombstone tremble as if it were going to break.
One Brick after the other. They werent too frequent. After all, Brick wasnt a normal attack, but a skill with a cooldown. She obviously knew what the cooldown was for Brick. She had originally calculated the time and braced for the impact. But the fourth one didnt arrive. Liu Fei made Fallen Angel sneak a peek. In the end, just as half her head extended out, Crash! A Brick smashed into her forehead and she began seeing stars. She had actually been Dizzied by it.
Soon after, two Peng Peng sounds rang out. She had been hit twice by Lord Grim again. Liu Fei wanted to dodge, but had no way of doing so. Fallen Angel was still Dizzy. Half of her head was still exposed to the outside.
Did it hit? Was I hit?
Clearly, the five players had closed in, close enough that Liu Fei could hear her opponents voices.
No. She exposed her head, which was why you were able to hit her. If not, then it would have went over. Ye Xiu said.
Why did that idiot expose her head? Steamed Bun Invasion said.
You acted too slowly, so she probably did it because she was anxious! Ye Xiu said.
Ha ha ha, shes fallen in love with my Brick. Steamed Bun Invasion said delightedly.
You just watch!!! Liu Fei was extremely furious. She was even too angry to type it out and directly roared it out.
Ha ha, were coming. Steamed Bun Invasion unexpectedly answered back. Liu Fei almost collapsed from anger. Her roar obviously wasnt directed at these five players. It was only because she was too angry to type it out. Even though, she may have been too far away in game for her teammates to hear. Dont forget that her teammates were all sitting together. Liu Feis roar had directly penetrated her teammates headphones. The three suddenly shivered. Yet in the end, Steamed Bun Invasion answered back.
Dont panic...... Zhou Yebai said in a low voice. Liu Feis role was to attract the enemys attention. Even though she had suffered a bit, her original aim had been reached. The five players were currently headed towards their trap.
Little Jie, get ready. Zhou Yebai reminded Gao Yingjie.
Okay...... Gao Yingjie said.
Qiao Yifan was extremely lonely. He was also a part of the team, but......he wasnt a part of the strategy. He didnt know if it was on purpose or not. But in brief, he had been forgotten. Ashen Moon was hiding behind a tombstone, staring at this ice-cold tombstone that represented the dead. Qiao Yifan didnt know what to do. But he was already used to this sort of feeling.
Move out! Zhou Yebai suddenly ordered. His White Night Black Day and Gao Yingjies Weeping Crow flashed out from the left and right. Weeping Crow shook his sleeves, preparing to use a Shadow Cloak to Bind the five players. On the side, Zhou Yebai was waiting for Weeping Crows Cloak. Afterwards, he would summon a Phantom Ghost and then follow up with a Ghost Slash.
According to Glorys explanation, Ghostblades set up fields with special effects and summoned Ghosts to assist them. This ability was named Phantom Ghost. Whether it was for an individual or a team, it was extremely useful as a support. White Night Black Day was a Level 26 Ghostblade and could summon the first Ghost Sword Soul. After a Sword Soul appeared, all teammates inside its boundary would have their Strength and Intelligence attributes raised. Of course, this was only limited to inside the boundary. There wouldnt be any effects outside of the boundary. If the Ghosts power could be applied whenever, Ghostblades would be unrivalled.
Once the Witchs Shadow Cloak bound the enemies, he would use this interval to summon a Phantom Ghost and then kill or heavily injure the enemies within the boundary. This was Zhou Yebais plan. At this moment, he was waiting for Weeping Crows Shadow Cloak to bind the enemies.
Who knew that just as Weeping Crow threw out his skill, a sword light flashed over. No one knew who had acted first. With Gao Yingjies reaction speed and skill, he didnt think that he would lost to anyone when fighting for time. But this time, his opponents skill had unexpectedly arrived first. Sword Draws sword light arrived, making Gao Yingjie feel extremely astonished. He could only helplessly choose to dodge it. Even if he directly took on the attack, there was no way his Shadow Cloak would hit. Just like this, he and Zhou Yebais plans had been easily crushed.
The player who had sent out the attack wasnt Lord Grim and was impressively Sleeping Moon. Though it was true that this attack had been made on Ye Xius orders.
When Ye Xiu yelled out for him to attack, he hadnt even seen the target yet. His attack wasnt any different than sending it out with his eyes closed. In the end, just after his attack was sent out, he saw Weeping Crow jump out.
Let alone Gao Yingjie, even Sleeping Moon, who had sent out the attack, was extremely astonished. In Sleeping Moons eyes, his attack hadnt hit because of himself, but rather because someone had stupidly jumped out towards the attack.
Cover Strategys Flaw: Even if they could mutually communicate their field of view, they could only use it to report to each other and reduce the dangers. In regards to their understanding of the situation at a moments notice, it was still somewhat lacking.
