Hu Die Lan
Chapter 753 Left Road, Right Road
"Expert?" Zhang Xinjie was startled. There was indeed a group of elite players with decent strength in the opposing team. However, Zhang Xinjie had already taken this into account when arranging the formation. The descending defensive formation he designed shouldn't be broken through so quickly by such a small group of elite players.
He could understand that the right flank had Ye Qiu commanding, making the team's combat effectiveness strong and difficult to resist. But what other expert could there be on the left flank who could instantly break through the defensive formation he had set up?
Zhang Xinjie, who had originally planned to go to the right flank to personally command and fight Ye Qiu, hesitated slightly. In the end, he first sent his Wangshan Yunwu to the left flank.
The defense on the left flank had indeed been broken through. Zhang Xinjie's Wangshan Yunwu took everything into view, and after carefully scanning it, his gaze quickly settled in one direction.
Zhang Xinjie was a little dazed.
Was this an online game or a professional league?
Was he dreaming? What day was it today?
Zhang Xinjie even took a look at the date. From the year, from the month, from the day, he was sure that he was not mistaken. This should definitely not be a day with professional matches, and even if there were, it should definitely not be so familiar.
The two characters flickering before his eyes, their names clearly wrong and their equipment completely different, but their figures constantly overlapped with the image in Zhang Xinjie's mind.
One Autumn Leaf (Yi Ye Zhi Qiu).
Dancing Rain (Mu Yu Cheng Feng).
The most powerful partnership in the Glory Alliance. In four consecutive years, although they had not won the highest honor of the championship, they had always been the undisputed recipients of this award. Many other teams' combinations were also excellent, but they paled in comparison to this pair. In each Best Combination selection, they might have diverted some votes, but they were never a threat. The so-called most powerful competitors, the Li Xuan and Wu Yuce duo from Team Void, only had half of their votes. Even so, they were already the "most powerful" competitors.
Zhang Xinjie's impression of this combination was perhaps deeper than that of any other player.
Because their Team Excellent Era was the absolute mortal enemy of Team Tyranny, which Zhang Xinjie served. In the first three seasons of the Glory Alliance, the two teams met in the playoffs three times in a row. In the second season, it was even a peak showdown in the finals.
Unfortunately, Team Tyranny lost to their opponents three times, while Team Excellent Era laughed last all three times.
Team Tyranny was the most prominent color in the backdrop of Team Excellent Era's three consecutive championships.
In the fourth season, Zhang Xinjie joined Team Tyranny. He quickly accepted Team Tyranny's culture: to move forward bravely, and to defeat Excellent Era, to defeat Ye Qiu.
That year, they finally did it. Team Tyranny defeated Excellent Era in the finals and successfully reached the top. Zhang Xinjie was definitely one of the heroes. But it was also in that year that Excellent Era had a new player, who was later known as the Golden Generation along with Zhang Xinjie. Her name was Su Mucheng. She was a girl, and a very beautiful girl. This was a very beautiful sight in the mostly male world of Glory.
What was even more eye-catching was that this beautiful girl was not just a pretty face. Her cooperation with Excellent Era's god Ye Qiu seemed to have a natural tacit understanding. The championship belonged to Team Tyranny, but no one thought that the Best Combination award did not belong to these two.
As for Team Tyranny, Zhang Xinjie's cooperation with their ace player, captain Han Wenqing, was also very good, but the priest's class was destined to serve the entire team, so if limited to the duo, the wonderful scenes would be a little less.
In the next three years, Zhang Xinjie saw these two win the Best Combination award again and again. Excellent Era and Tyranny had always regarded each other as mortal enemies. Although the two teams had not entered the finals in these three years, the animosity between the two teams would not be reduced in the slightest.
Who would have a deeper impression of the Excellent Era combination than Zhang Xinjie? Even Han Wenqing couldn't, because Han Wenqing had three seasons of dueling with Ye Qiu before, even if Ye Qiu later had such a best partner, the opponent Han Wenqing valued was still biased towards Ye Qiu.
Only Zhang Xinjie, since entering the professional league, this golden partner had been the object he had strived to defeat. Losing to them was even worse for Tyranny than losing ten games.
The impression was too deep, too deep. Zhang Xinjie had studied this combination's playstyle countless times. So even though he only glanced at them, the familiar feeling engulfed him, and in the blink of an eye, One Autumn Leaf and Dancing Rain were automatically substituted in his mind. It wasn't until he quickly realized and saw clearly that the battle mage in front of him was called God Says Let There Be Light, and the gunner was called Cleansing Mist (Zhu Yan Xia).
Cleansing Mist (Zhu Yan Xia).
With the attention caused by Ye Qiu, this name was also frequently exposed to the attention of the major guilds. There had always been controversy over who was behind this gunner, but it was a consensus that they had a close relationship with Ye Qiu.
Who exactly is it?
Zhang Xinjie had such doubts in his mind.
But ten seconds later, he had the answer.
Su Mucheng, it must be Su Mucheng.
And that God Says Let There Be Light must be Ye Qiu.
The performance of the two in ten seconds was enough for Zhang Xinjie to draw such a conclusion. Don't forget, these two were the best partners for four consecutive years, far ahead of the so-called "most powerful competitors." If they were not unique, why would this award be given to them every year?
Their cooperation is irreplaceable.
Although One Autumn Leaf was still in Excellent Era, and Sun Xiang, the new controller of One Autumn Leaf, was definitely a top-notch god-level player, the demeanor of the best partner was not even one ten-thousandth of what it was.
The reappearance of ten seconds had already made Zhang Xinjie conclude that this must be Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng, and there could be no other answer.
The battle mage's mighty charge and the gunner's powerful support, the cooperation between these two was the same as it was half a year ago. No matter how Excellent Era's results were, the tacit understanding between these two was always the same. Even though Ye Qiu had been away from the professional circle for seven months, now that the two of them appeared together, Zhang Xinjie felt as if nothing had changed. This was the real reason why he had to take a look at the date.
"Mobile team, to the left!" Zhang Xinjie decisively revised his previous instructions.
Ye Qiu was on this side, and Ye Qiu with Su Mucheng's assistance was on this side. In any case, this side should be the focus of defense. As for what was going on on the right flank? Perhaps Ye Qiu had predicted his possible deployment in advance, so he had arranged targeted responses in advance, wanting to take advantage of his short-term judgment deviation to determine the overall situation?
But there was still time for the current deployment.
Zhang Xinjie was full of confidence. First, he was now leading the elite team, and their tacit understanding and strength were stronger than the temporary team he had led in the previous battle. Secondly, he had carefully explained how to switch support. He believed that these quality online game players would only be a little slower in rhythm at most, and shouldn't make any mistakes.
"Retreat backward." Zhang Xinjie continued to instruct.
Although he had found the focus of the defense, he couldn't ignore the right flank! To what extent had Ye Qiu made preparations in advance? Zhang Xinjie couldn't test it in actual combat. He decided to shrink both defensive positions so that he could see both sides clearly and command them simultaneously.
"Priests concentrate, knights go up, use taunts and roars to constantly harass that God Says Let There Be Light and Cleansing Mist, the team weaves and moves between the two to attack, trying to cut off their connection as much as possible. Focus the attack on Cleansing Mist first, and qi masters use Grasping Cloud Hand when they have the opportunity." Zhang Xinjie issued a series of instructions in one breath, but they were only aimed at two people. The best combination was certainly terrible, but Zhang Xinjie believed that he might be the enemy who understood this combination the most, and he could deal with them with ease. If the other party hadn't also brought a team, if it was just the two of them, Zhang Xinjie wouldn't think there was much of a threat even if they were the best combination.
"The right side continues to shrink, shrink a little more. Mobile teams one and two, go over and support this side, harassing and attacking from the side." After Zhang Xinjie finished paying attention to the left side, he stared at the right side again.
Mobile teams one and two faithfully carried out his instructions, cutting in from the flank. As expected, the effect was outstanding. The other side was torn open at once, and it looked like it was about to break. The two team leaders were happy and led their men to take the opportunity to kill in, preparing to completely disrupt the other side. But Zhang Xinjie took a look at the other side's movement after the break and suddenly felt a jump in his heart.
"Teams one and two, retreat, don't charge!!" Zhang Xinjie hurriedly shouted.
But it was too late. The two team leaders were impatient, and the team had already entered. At this time, they received Zhang Xinjie's message, but they didn't dare to question it, and hurriedly led the team to retreat. But the other side's panicked and broken formation suddenly acted like pliers, clamping the two teams in at once. The attacks made by the players who had been scattered were extremely uncomfortable for the two teams.
Fortunately, with Zhang Xinjie's reminder, the two teams had turned to charge outwards. If they had killed any deeper, they would definitely have been wiped out. But even so, the two teams still neatly sacrificed six people, and one team was already crippled.
"How could this happen?" Zhang Xinjie was shocked in his heart while giving instructions.
Sideways harassment was a temporary adjustment he made based on the situation. No matter how amazing Ye Qiu was, it was impossible for him to predict the changes in battle in such detail. But the other side just happened to make a tactical instruction to lure the enemy in. This was a quick-reacting command, and it didn't seem like it came from the hands of some online game player.
Online game players might also respond according to his deployment, but to be able to eliminate and attack at the same time in an instant, this skilled awareness had a bit of the demeanor of a professional.
At this moment, Zhang Xinjie glanced at the formation of the two guilds on this side. A mechanic player, his equipment was broken, but his skills were all kinds of skilled, allowing people with skill to see the outstanding him in the team at a glance. And this person was not just attacking blindly. He would stop and walk a bit from time to time while fighting, and the positions he walked to were all several viewing points for observing the battle situation.
"Mechanic... Wouldn't it be?" Zhang Xinjie suddenly felt a little dizzy.
