Chapter 222 The Use of the Support Area

It's difficult for the players on the field to grasp the entire picture of the battle. A significant portion of the situation requires judgment based on their own experience and awareness.

Wu Chen was like this. After discovering that the Xingxin team was leading the situation in a direction they couldn't fully control, his first thought was to quickly switch the healer back in and stop going down this path.

The lack of a healer was a major vulnerability for Team Wuji. They were clear about this themselves, so how could Team Xingxin not be? The attacks they received were enough to reveal what class was on the field. Therefore, switching the healer in was likely an expected move from the opponent, and they might seize this opportunity to make a move.

So, after Wu Chen had He An quickly switch the healer in, his Xiaochang immediately headed towards the location of He An's Renqueye.

Especially when He An issued an encounter notification, Wu Chen further confirmed his guess, so he decisively asked the others to go and provide support. Because he determined that since the opponent would seize on this point, the strength they applied would probably not be small. He An alone probably couldn't hold on. Even with his own support, it might not be a sure thing, so he made a decisive decision to gather here and defeat the opponent to switch in the healer.

Wu Chen's thinking was already quite clear.

But when he saw He An actively calling for help, he immediately realized that the problem was probably more troublesome than he had imagined.

He could be considered to understand He An relatively well. This guy had a high opinion of himself and always felt like he was unappreciated. Later, he was discovered and used by Wuji, and after confirming his talent, he became even more complacent. Given his personality, if he really couldn't resist at all, it would be difficult to make such a life-saving sound.

"How many people?" Wu Chen asked quickly.

"5"

He An could only type a number, not even bothering with punctuation.

Wu Chen was stunned when he received this message. The other party actually attacked over there with their entire team, which was a bit beyond He An's understanding.

They had been besieging their opponents all along, and they weren't completely unaware of the opponent's movements. How could it be that in the blink of an eye, all five characters had rushed over there, while he was only judging based on experience and awareness, without any actual situation in sight?

The other party was prepared!

Based on his own experience, Wu Chen came to this conclusion.

The active situation created by the opponent using the passive situation of being besieged was far more proactive than Wu Chen imagined.

He An's Renqueye was closest to the support area, which was not a coincidence. It was deliberately guided by the other party in the process of turning passivity into initiative. And their next offensive was concentrated in this direction, which was a layout arranged long ago. Team Wuji then directed the person closest to Renqueye to switch to the priest, naturally following the script arranged by Xingxin.

As soon as Renqueye moved to the support area, the entire Xingxin team could complete the interception at a faster speed, thus forming the current situation.

"Hold on!"

He Chen could only encourage He An, and urged everyone to rush to the support area as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Team Wuji's encirclement position was not too spread out, and they were not too far apart from each other. Any one of the five people providing support would not be too late.

He An finally managed to hold on until his own players appeared.

"Steady, don't rush to attack. Find a chance to switch the priest out." Wu Chen was the third to arrive. The first two had already joined up with Renqueye and were fighting with Xingxin, three against five. The situation could only be described as miserable. Wu Chen's Xiaochang arrived and fired two shots, relieving the three of them. The four characters joined forces and launched a counterattack. They were all classes with area-of-effect skills, giving them incomparable advantages in this group fight. When the four of them fired together, the attack swept across the map, and Team Xingxin was immediately pushed back a step by the four of them.

"Beautiful!"

When he didn't have support, He An was in a complete mess. Not to mention fighting back, he was completely being killed and rolling all over the ground! Now, seeing that his teammates had arrived and the opponent could no longer show off, He An's fighting spirit surged, and his hand speed also experienced an outbreak.

Frost, flame, aurora!

Three waves of sword intent, swept out in a triple stack, were the famous skill of the magic swordsman class: "Wave Triple Stack."

The audience channel suddenly burst into cheers, all of them were true fans of Team Wuji cheering for their trump card's performance. However, even the onlookers and face-slappers felt a little excited for a moment because of this beautiful "Wave Triple Stack." Finally, some people couldn't help but start mocking Team Xingxin and urging them to surrender.

He An was a bit embarrassed before, that's right. But one against five, who wouldn't be embarrassed? Now that Team Wuji's personnel are all together, with only four people, they launched a wave of counterattacks and reversed Team Xingxin. What is this? This is the gap in strength! Just four people are enough to defeat your five! When another person comes, how will Xingxin block them?

Since the command channels of both teams were open to the audience, even if the audience couldn't understand the situation, they could guess roughly from the combat commands of both sides. Now, it seems that although Team Xingxin has strategies, they can't succeed! Why? Because Team Wuji's strength is indeed strong enough. A team from a professional background is indeed more coordinated and organized.

The four fought side by side, and the offensive came in waves. Before long, Team Wuji's fifth person also arrived. At this time, the emotions of the true fans of Wuji watching the face-slapping had been mobilized, and they all felt that this frontal conflict between the two sides would determine the victory. So, cheering, mocking, and celebrating victory, it seemed that it could all begin at this moment.

But what about the players on the field?

Wu Chen's heart was still not at ease at this time. Perhaps because he had always played for weak teams, frequent defeats gave Wu Chen a keen sense of crisis. In the current situation, he began to feel that there was something wrong again.

"Don't just focus on fighting, break through and switch the priest up first!" He An said in the channel at this time, and Wu Chen nodded when he saw it.

That's probably it, right? Wu Chen thought. Although they had the upper hand in terms of offense, without a healing class, the margin for error was low, and a mistake could cause irreparable losses. Renqueye's current health was not high, and it was possible that he could be taken down by the other party in a wave of chaos. It was still safer to switch the priest up to raise the health bar.

"Press, press over!" He An now considered it to be an outlet for the embarrassment just now. Without a healer, five output classes with area-of-effect skills were really fierce and domineering when bombing the map. At this time, any opponent would not want to rely on the priest to resist, unless they were sure to disrupt the opponent's offensive in an instant. Otherwise, with the area attacks of five characters, everyone's health would drop, and it would be difficult for one healer to maintain it. Even if the technology was sufficient, the consumption would be too great, and it would definitely not be cost-effective.

Under Team Wuji's map bombardment, Xingxin fought and retreated. Before long, they were the first to step into the support area.

And so, at this moment, Wu Chen's sense of crisis, which would jump out from time to time, completely erupted once again. Suddenly, he realized the problem.

"Withdraw!" Wu Chen shouted urgently in the channel. And this time, the audience was also completely confused for a moment. The players of Team Wuji were also very dazed, and even two people asked together: "What?"

"It's the assistance tactic! Retreat quickly!" Wu Chen shouted.

Assistance tactic?

Players with enough Glory knowledge, upon hearing this term and seeing the situation in front of them, immediately understood a bit. However, the real assistance tactic could not be used under the current conditions. However, if Team Wuji did not retreat and continued to attack Team Xingxin here, it would be like sending themselves to the door for Team Xingxin to use the assistance tactic.

Even many viewers understood it. Even if the players of Team Wuji had less professional experience, they shouldn't be so slow to react.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat! Retreat quickly!" He An also shouted in the channel.

As a result, it was as if Team Xingxin had also seen these words. In the public channel, a sentence from Lord Grim of Team Xingxin suddenly popped up: "It's a little late to retreat now, isn't it?"

"Come, let this old man open a door for you!"

Following Lord Grim's words was Wind Following Array. Originally, he was the sixth player of Team Xingxin, but at this time, he was called onto the field through the assistance area. Team Xingxin's priest, Little Cold Hands, was switched out.

This was the assistance battle.

By frequently switching the healing class and the sixth person through the assistance area, and mastering the rhythm, the attack power could be greatly increased without delaying healing, as if six people were fighting.

However, because this tactic inevitably required the assistance area, it naturally had great limitations. If one side was standing in the assistance area, you would be helpless if the other side didn't come over. Therefore, the assistance tactic was a controlling existence in most maps. Only in a small number of maps, due to the characteristics of the location of the assistance area, was it possible to trap the opposing team in the corner and use the assistance battle to ravage them.

The current Spring Flame Flag Sea map did not have these characteristics. If Team Wuji had thought of this earlier, there would be no threat if they didn't follow. As a result, they were more anxious than Team Xingxin to switch the priest onto the field and rush to the assistance area, completely ignoring this tactic. When they realized it at this time, Team Xingxin had already occupied the geographical advantage, and they were too excited and rushed too hard. If they retreated again, they would probably suffer a loss.

While Wind Following Array was speaking, his staff had already been raised, and wisps of black energy began to surround it. Wu Chen was shocked when he saw it, and quickly directed Xiaochang to turn around and fire a shot, while calling out to everyone, "It's the Gate of Death, interrupt it!"

A laser cannon was fired from Xiaochang's muzzle, but Lord Grim, who was beside Wind Following Array, stepped up and opened the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella with a swish.

The laser cannon originally had a knockback effect, but in front of the shield, all such effects would be discounted. When Wu Chen saw that the other party had shield protection, he quickly controlled Xiaochang to point the muzzle towards the sky, wanting to launch a Stinger, but he didn't expect that with a flash of light in front of him, the laser cannon he fired actually reflected straight back...
