Hu Die Lan
Chapter 574 Naval Warfare? I Know a Little
With a quick Taunt, the summoned monsters that had just appeared didn't even have time to attack Invincible Most Handsome before one was dragged away. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th tanks dared not neglect their duties. Although Invincible Most Handsome had switched to Seven Blossom Leaves' equipment, Seven Blossom Leaves' equipment wasn't strong enough in this area to ignore the siege of the group of monsters and calmly persevere to the end, so everyone's cooperation was still needed.
The knights pulled the small monsters while the damage dealers frantically attacked, and the healers nervously watched the health of several knights.
When Seven Blossom Leaves was the main tank, they usually fought like this, and now there was no pressure. Now that it had been replaced by Invincible Most Handsome, it was much the same. However, because of the matter of Invincible Most Handsome borrowing equipment, everyone was considering: If Invincible Most Handsome was using that low-level equipment, could everyone's cooperation help him?
The answer was rather embarrassing, because it seemed they couldn't.
First of all, the cooperation between the knights wasn't very good. Seven Blossom Leaves reacted the fastest, but the other knights were either too early or too late, and two of them didn't attack in the first instance, allowing the small monsters to attack Seven Blossom Leaves.
However, at least the division of labor was clear, and there was no incident of two people Taunting the same monster.
After that, the damage dealers' attacks were chaotic. Everyone just found a small monster nearby and used their big moves, without any clear cooperation. But the knights were also somewhat responsible for this situation. They dragged out the summoned monsters, but they couldn't make the small monsters line up in the most suitable position for the damage dealers to use their skills. By the time some melee damage dealers managed to squeeze next to their target, the Taunt duration had already passed...
As soon as the Taunt skill ended, the small monsters immediately turned around and attacked Invincible Most Handsome.
The knights were once again in a flurry, yelling one after another, but the order was clear, and there were no collisions.
Invincible Most Handsome, who had been guarding the Boss, finally commented on the scene, "It's chaotic enough."
Everyone was ashamed!
They continued the frantic mess from the time they couldn't beat this place. Later, because of the improvement of equipment, they could muddle through, so there was no change in technical cooperation. The knights just slightly understood the division of labor and order. When the small monsters came out, everyone was busy, the damage dealers freely played, and anyway, they just got through it, so what was there to be particular about?
As a result, being commented by a master as "chaotic enough", everyone felt disgraced.
But at least passing the level was still not a problem. When the first wave of summoned monsters was cleared, it was chaotic, but at least nothing went wrong. However, a fact was verified: If Invincible Most Handsome didn't change equipment here, he would definitely be courting death...
Apart from this sentence "chaotic enough", Invincible Most Handsome didn't say anything else. The players then wanted not to be chaotic, but when the summoned monsters came out, that habitual chaos came up again. After being said by Invincible Most Handsome, everyone observed from this perspective, and after watching, they all nodded: It was chaotic enough.
Everyone wanted to play in an organized way, but until the fourth Boss fell, they couldn't play any beautiful order.
As long as they can pass!
Everyone had to silently comfort themselves.
"It's fine as long as we can pass." As a result, Invincible Most Handsome said it directly. Hearing this, everyone immediately felt that it was not comfort, but satire.
Everyone really wanted another chance to perform well, but unfortunately, such an opportunity could only happen once a week.
After defeating the fourth Boss, they continued to advance. The next fifth Boss was also one for whom Invincible Most Handsome requested equipment. However, everyone was not very clear about why this one needed equipment.
It wasn't until the battle began and they fought for a while that everyone realized it from actual combat.
The battle with the fifth Boss took place on several towering stone pillars in mid-air. With such limited space, Invincible Most Handsome's style of tanking, which required frequent movement to dodge attacks, was greatly affected. More importantly, this Boss could teleport freely between several stone pillars, and during this teleportation, the Boss ignored aggro and attacked freely.
This was another extremely severe test for the team.
Those who weren't standing on the same stone pillar as the Boss were naturally the healers and ranged classes. Suddenly teleporting to their side and attacking them was simply the system ignoring the rules and forcing an OT (over-taunt) for the players to deal with.
The Happy Sheep guild's approach was to have knights stationed on the scattered stone pillars. When the Boss teleported out, the knights would immediately go up to protect them. Taunts and roars were used to try to survive this shameless period of OT that ignored aggro.
And what about the current Invincible Most Handsome? He would chase the Boss and teleport with him. Moreover, his speed wasn't much slower than the Boss's. Then, he took on the responsibility that was originally shared by other knights.
But during this OT period, the Boss attacked without thinking. Unless a skill like Taunt was used, no one knew who the Boss would suddenly attack. So what the knights could do during this period was to be meat shields. Seeing that the Boss was going to attack someone, they would rush in front of them to help them block.
This task was very difficult for the other knights.
Because this was different from the usual main tanking. Usually, the monster clearly attacked the knight, and even if the knight didn't do any operations, it was still considered tanking. But now, they didn't know where the Boss was going to attack, and they had to observe the Boss's actions to make a judgment and then protect them. So far, the Happy Sheep had never cleared this part of the fifth Boss without any losses. This level might not be the one where they suffered the greatest losses, but it was definitely a level where they would suffer losses. No matter how perfect the previous four levels were, with zero losses, the 100-man team always had less than 100 people after passing the fifth level.
But with Invincible Most Handsome, everything was immediately different.
Invincible Most Handsome closely followed the Boss's pace, and his judgment was accurate, and his interception was accurate. The vast majority of the Boss's mindless attacks still landed on Invincible Most Handsome, and he had voluntarily delivered them all.
With such a way of being a meat shield, his low-level defensive equipment was of course not good enough. With that equipment, he had to dodge part of the Boss's attacks to reduce the damage, but now, he needed to actively crash into the Boss's attacks to intercept the damage. Even with Seven Blossom Leaves' equipment, the healers felt great pressure.
Usually, no one would concentrate on blocking the Boss's attacks in this part. Once the Boss entered the teleportation OT period and determined the teleportation pillar, all the knights would come over to be meat shields together. I block, you block, everyone blocks, so the healers' healing was very scattered.
But now, Invincible Most Handsome blocked everyone's work alone, and he did it even better than everyone working together. He blocked so thoroughly that one or two healers on one stone pillar were simply not enough!
Fortunately, Happy Sheep made timely adjustments, and their healer group also began to follow Invincible Most Handsome closely, and everyone locked Invincible Most Handsome in their healing range at all times.
When the fifth Boss fell, Happy Sheep suddenly discovered that the team had made a new breakthrough. They finally passed this level without any losses. None of the 100 team members died at the fifth Boss.
Was it the team's efforts to achieve this? Happy Sheep was really a little embarrassed. Their team had always worked hard on this level, but they had never achieved this. It was because of the appearance of Invincible Most Handsome, his excellent judgment and protection awareness, that he snatched many roles that might have already died in the hands of the Boss on this level.
"Beautiful!" Happy Sheep solemnly gave Invincible Most Handsome a commendation.
"It's a must." Invincible Most Handsome said.
The knights were extremely ashamed. What they used to do together as four people was not as good as what Invincible Most Handsome did alone.
The team that created history was in high spirits, and they broke through the sixth, seventh, and eighth Bosses with irresistible force.
There were still no losses. Invincible Most Handsome pulled the monsters extremely steadily, and in any emergencies, his judgment was accurate, and his protection was timely. With such a main tank sitting in command, it was really not easy to die. A great sense of happiness gradually enveloped the entire team. Finally, the team killed the ninth Boss, the last guarding mechanism Boss, and also the limit of the Happy Sheep team in the Aerial Mausoleum. So far, they have not been able to break through this level.
And this time, they actually stood in front of the ninth mechanism with a full staff and no losses, and there was also such a powerful main tank as Invincible Most Handsome.
"How do we fight?" Here, Happy Sheep finally didn't make arrangements easily, but ran to solicit Invincible Most Handsome's opinion before the battle. Having been wiped out countless times here, Happy Sheep had long lost confidence in the team's tactics.
"How do we fight?" Invincible Most Handsome questioned in a rhetorical tone as if he had heard a question that shouldn't be asked. Then, after thinking for a while, he said, "I tank the monsters, the damage dealers deal damage, and the healers heal."
The long-awaited tactics were actually like this, and everyone burst into tears. Is this the highest state of staying true to the original purpose despite all changes? In other words, as long as there is a network game with a trinity cooperation model, killing monsters and destroying Bosses is done in this way, right?
Guild leader Happy Sheep hummed and hawed for a long time, but he couldn't get a word in.
"Are you all ready? I'm going to start?" Invincible Most Handsome said.
"Wait, wait." Happy Sheep hurriedly stopped him.
"Hmm?"
"We've been wiped out here many times." Happy Sheep said.
"Oh?"
"Our team's progress is currently up to here." Happy Sheep said.
"Congratulations!" Invincible Most Handsome said, "Today you will have a breakthrough."
"..."
"I'm going to start?"
"Wait, wait!" Happy Sheep hadn't figured out what this guy's plan was, and he really didn't have any confidence in his heart. It was rare to reach the ninth Boss with a full staff today, and this opportunity had to be seized!
"What's wrong?"
"How are you going to tank the monsters?" Happy Sheep asked.
"You couldn't tank the monsters before, right?" Invincible Most Handsome's gaze fell on Seven Blossom Leaves and the others.
The knights had to admit this cruel fact.
"The damage is very high, and the healing can't keep up." Happy Sheep said, "Maybe the equipment is not enough."
"The equipment is enough." Invincible Most Handsome said, "It's just that the skills are a bit lacking. This is a water battle, and if you rely on skills, the difficulty is indeed a bit high."
"You also know about water battles?" Happy Sheep found the source of Invincible Most Handsome's confidence.
"I know a little." Invincible Most Handsome seemed to be humble, but why did it still sound so annoying?
