Hu Die Lan
Chapter 220 Screen Cannon
Flame Impact!
Jiang You was the only one of the five who hadn't been attacked by Lord Grim. Seeing that the next attack was about to come at him, he quickly made an operation. The mage iLovetoJoininTheFun cast a Flame Impact that was both offensive and defensive, rising up one position in front of Lord Grim.
"Damn!" Jiang You was frustrated. Lord Grim didn't actually charge over? Then he heard a whooshing sound getting closer and closer. Jiang You was shocked and realized that a large group of black smoke was surrounding iLovetoJoininTheFun. Then he was sent flying. It was the Launcher who had suddenly attacked him at this time.
Quick Recover!
Jiang You certainly didn't want to be blasted to the ground by this. Just as he was performing a Quick Recover, he heard someone say, "Long time no see." Jiang You quickly raised his perspective and saw only a white light from a battle lance being raised. His iLovetoJoininTheFun had already been launched into the air.
*Clang* A sound rang out and a cold light flashed.
Jiang You felt like he had only just been launched into the air when Lord Grim had already slashed a Draw Sword at him. It was unbelievably fast, so fast that it felt like it was a coordinated attack between two people.
iLovetoJoininTheFun was sent flying by this slash. The Swordsman who had fallen face-first on the ground had just gotten up when the guild leader's heroic figure flew in front of him. Unable to dodge, the two collided tightly and rolled on the ground together.
How miserable!
Jiang You and the other five were also well-known figures in the online game. Their main accounts were just as famous as Chun Yi Lao and Lanqiao Chunfeng in the Heavenly Domain.
In PvP, no one dared to say that they were invincible. However, with Jiang You's level of skill, being toyed with and beaten to a pulp on the ground was truly a first for them.
More importantly, there were five of them! The strongest five people, while their opponent was only one person.
When Jiang You and the Swordsman climbed up from the ground, they saw that their two teammates, a Sharpshooter and a Striker, had already been beaten to the ground again. Their Cleric, on the other hand, was standing on the side, completely at a loss, seemingly not knowing what to do.
"Steady!" Jiang You could see that everyone was a little flustered. Logically speaking, their strength shouldn't be like this. They weren't ordinary players. Jiang You, with his status, had even been in contact with pro players. They had played with the pro players of Tyrannical Ambition before, but they shouldn't be beaten so miserably.
In the end, it was their mentality that was the problem. Lord Grim's strength was beyond their expectations, so much so that they were caught off guard from the start. They lost their rhythm and couldn't find it again for the time being.
"Just hold him back!" At this time, Jiang You immediately lowered the requirements for everyone and sent a message in the team channel.
Then he heard a teammate shout, "Careful!" Jiang You didn't bother to ask any questions and rolled to the side. Then he saw a laser cannon graze past his body. He reacted quickly. The Swordsman who was originally with him, was he stunned by falling face first? He didn't realize that the warning was for the two of them. It was too late when he reacted, and he was sent flying by the laser cannon.
Insidious!
Jiang You suddenly discovered Lord Grim's insidiousness in the details.
After this guy charged over, he fought with each of them and then moved, shifting each of their positions. When they fought with Lord Grim, their perspectives were all facing towards Lord Grim. As a result, the Launcher was left behind them, launching attacks from behind them again and again.
Jiang You had already been hit by an Anti-Tank Missile once. If it weren't for someone glancing at the laser cannon in the heat of battle and warning him, it would have been difficult to say whether he could have dodged it.
Jiang You turned his perspective. Su Mucheng's Launcher Wind Following the Stream wasn't targeting them at this time, but was attacking Tang Rou and Qiao Yifan's opponents. Jiang You suddenly realized that Lord Grim and the others seemed to be fighting their own battles, but with the Launcher in the center, responding to all sides, they were still connected as a whole.
This kind of play... Jiang You suddenly felt that it was a bit familiar. Then he heard a teammate shout, "Careful!" Jiang You spat out blood. Why was there a situation every time his perspective wasn't there? Without thinking, Jiang You dodged. But not dodging would have been better. This dodge to the side caused him to collide with someone else.
"Ah..." The player who issued the warning was also stunned. It turned out that the human bomb that Lord Grim threw out wouldn't have hit iLovetoJoininTheFun, but with his warning, iLovetoJoininTheFun would have dodged left or right. Lord Grim had a 50% chance of throwing accurately, and Jiang You's iLovetoJoininTheFun was bombed by a human bomb again.
Could it be a blind spot tactic…
Jiang You, who was knocked over again, finally thought of this tactical term.
This kind of play, as the name suggests, uses the blind spots in the character's line of sight to arrange positions, so that one's own side can always attack from the opponent's blind spots.
This kind of play is very effective in actual combat, but it has low entertainment value. Especially when watching from a God's perspective in a replay video, one would find that the person being surrounded and attacked by the blind spot tactic looks like an idiot, always failing to dodge some very obvious attacks. In fact, when in the God's perspective, it is impossible to understand the ignorance of the blind spot from the perspective of someone in the battle.
At this time, Lord Grim and the Launcher Wind Following the Stream seemed to be using this tactic. When he turned his back to Wind Following the Stream, she would attack; and when he turned his back to Lord Grim, this guy would attack.
To break the blind spot combat, either guard 360 degrees with one's own positioning, or use the terrain to cover one's own blind spots.
"Everyone…" Jiang You had just shouted these four words when he was shocked to discover that the four members of their team were now charging in front of Lord Grim. They were facing away from him, which meant that they were also facing away from the Launcher behind him.
"Be careful!!" Jiang You changed his words and shouted loudly. He turned his perspective to take a look, and sure enough, the Launcher had seized this opportunity again. Three Anti-Tank Missiles had already whistled over, one of which was for him.
Jiang You's iLovetoJoininTheFun was already dodging when he called out. He dodged, but the four members of his guild were standing in a row, making it inconvenient to dodge left or right. The cannonball that Jiang You dodged wasn't wasted either, and it exploded on this row of people.
"That's right, it's the blind spot tactic!" Jiang You was sure. This cooperation between the two was not a coincidence, nor was it simple insidiousness. This was a tactical application. Lord Grim was deliberately controlling the field to create this situation.
In addition to this style of play, Jiang You also remembered the combat method of the Launcher who was coordinating in the middle. This style of play is called the "screen cannon tactic" in Glory. It is a coordinated combat method in which ranged classes coordinate in the middle. Because the Launcher has the longest attack range, its coordination range is the largest and its coordination ability is the strongest. Eventually, it gradually became named after the cannon, calling this tactic the "screen cannon."
After realizing these two points, Jiang You could at least know that Lord Grim's team was probably not just a group of ordinary players. Only those who truly understand Glory would use reasonable tactics at reasonable times.
Jiang You also understood Glory. In fact, many people were mainly lacking in the practical skills compared to professional players. There were many people who could talk about theory fluently. Jiang You had been in Glory for many years and served as the guild leader of Tyrannical Ambition. He was a true professional player who treated the game as a career. Being able to see the doorway between Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's cooperation showed that he truly understood it to a certain extent.
Blind spot tactics, plus the screen cannon. To break this tactic, of course, one must attack the Launcher.
Jiang You instantly clarified his thoughts. He no longer participated in the entanglement between the others and Lord Grim. He turned his head and rushed towards Su Mucheng's Wind Following the Stream.
Flame Burst!
Frost Snowball!
Jiang You quickly operated. iLovetoJoininTheFun cast two spells in a row. Flame Burst directly attacked, and Frost Snowball was a predicted attack. As expected, Wind Following the Stream had to deal with him as well. She dodged the Flame Burst and then accurately blasted the Frost Snowball with a cannon shot.
Precise operations…
Jiang You was secretly shocked. However, his follow-up moves were already prepared. Flame Impact was about to finish chanting and was about to explode. The attack position was also calculated very accurately. This time, it would definitely hit.
*Boom boom boom!*
Jiang You heard three explosions in a row in his ears. He saw that iLovetoJoininTheFun's chant was interrupted and black smoke from the explosion filled the air around him. His feet were uncontrollably staggering...
"How could this be?" Jiang You was at a loss. His spell was about to finish chanting. How could Wind Following the Stream have arrived before him?
When he raised his perspective, he was met with the muzzle of Wind Following the Stream's cannon. It didn't have gunpowder smoke, but it was gathering power for a Cannonball.
*Boom!*
The Cannonball's energy shell hit iLovetoJoininTheFun at close range, blasting him away. In the uncontrollable spinning perspective, Jiang You saw Lord Grim grab a player and throw him like in a comic book, using him to smash into other people.
Damn it!!
Jiang You finally reacted.
The Anti-Tank Missile he had just been hit with wasn't from Wind Following the Stream, but from Lord Grim. That guy was an Unspecialized, so he could attack from a very long distance like a Launcher…
This "screen cannon" tactic could have two coordinating centers.
iLovetoJoininTheFun flipped in the air before falling to the ground. The difficulty of the Quick Recover operation varied depending on the way it fell. This time, iLovetoJoininTheFun spun in the air like a top, making it too difficult to land with a Quick Recover. Jiang You's operation failed. After the character landed, he rolled around again.
"Oh dear! I just killed one and another one came along. Our cooperation is so exquisite!!" Jiang You heard someone mutter in his ear, and then he couldn't see anything anymore.
"Damn it! Too shameless! I'm still lying on the ground and you're already using Sand Toss on me!" The pitch-black screen almost made Jiang You faint.
