From the audience's God's-eye view, everything was much clearer than what the players saw.

Originally scattered across the map, the ten characters suddenly converged in a common direction after the gunshot. In the blink of an eye, battles erupted all over the map. It was at this point that the audience suddenly realized that Tyranny's tactical intent did not seem to be focused on attacking Tiny Herb's healer, Dongchongxiacao (winter worm summer grass). Their goal was to cut off Dongchongxiacao's connection with the others. As the fighting broke out across the board, Yuan Boqing was shocked to find that he had nothing to do, because Tyranny had not guided the flames of war in his direction at all.

Which way to go?

In an instant, Yuan Boqing faced such a choice. There were sounds of fighting everywhere; which side should he support?

Fortunately, instructions were quickly given in the team channel. Not only him, but the entire Tiny Herb team was striving to converge in a unified direction. Tyranny had taken the initiative to launch this wave of attacks, and there was no doubt about who would be in control. Tiny Herb clearly didn't want to go to war with Tyranny in this situation; it would only fall into Tyranny's rhythm.

Integrate the whole team first, then counterattack!

Wang Jiexi's judgment was clear and accurate. However, it was not unexpected.

This response was completely within Tyranny's targeted deployment range. On this map with its high and low undulations and numerous line-of-sight obstructions, no one could observe the overall situation at a glance. The only ones who could do this were the off-site viewers with their God's-eye view.

The off-site viewers could see what kind of obstruction Tiny Herb would encounter if they tried to converge. Tyranny was very methodical in isolating Tiny Herb's characters. They didn't choose a primary target to attack at the beginning; they were adjusting according to the specific situation.

Tyranny's actions were fast, and communication in the team channel was also fast. The concise wording could only be instantly understood by the most tacit teammates. The audience, looking at this information which mostly consisted of letters and numbers, had no idea what was being said.

But they could finally see the results that Tyranny had achieved after such communication.

Tiny Herb was ultimately divided. Gao Yingjie's Mu'en and Liu Xiaobie's Flying Sword were cut off and driven towards the position that Tyranny wanted them to go.

"Attack!"

Another command was issued. And this time, it was Tyranny who truly launched a focused attack.

Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' firepower instantly covered this area. Zhang Jiale's attacks were never only aimed at attacking the target. Many times, he was providing cover. The extravagant firepower coverage was all hitting empty ground, but who knew what might suddenly emerge from under the light and shadow? Was it Han Wenqing's Desert Dust? Lin Jingyan's Dark Forest? Or was there nothing at all?

Every type of player needed to be on guard. Zhang Jiale's Hundred Blossoms style was confusing the opponent with this mix of the real and the illusory. And this time, Han Wenqing's Desert Dust suddenly shot out from the coverage of Hundred Blossoms' attack.

Liu Xiaobie reacted extremely quickly, and Flying Sword immediately swung his sword to meet him. Without hesitation, he began to unleash his hand speed from the first second.

Dealing with these veterans who were already at the end of their careers, unleashing hand speed was undoubtedly a smart way to attack the enemy's weakness with one's own strength. Liu Xiaobie knew his current situation, so he didn't stand on ceremony from the start.

The audience let out a burst of exclamations as Liu Xiaobie erupted. The technical statistics given on the electronic screen showed that Liu Xiaobie's APM instantly exceeded 300.

Glory was just a single-player operation game. Each person only controlled one character in their hand, unlike real-time strategy games, which had a lot of room for operation to create a large number of actions.

An APM of 300 was unimaginable to Glory players. For many people, it wasn't that their hand speed couldn't reach that level, but that they didn't know what to do with so many operations. And at this time, Liu Xiaobie's APM of 300 was just a starting point, and it was still rising.

Sword Shadow Steps!

The moment Flying Sword rushed up to meet Desert Dust, he instantly split into seven figures. The increase in the level cap, coupled with Liu Xiaobie's fierce hand speed, made it possible to display this level, which was beyond the reach of ordinary players, with ease. Moreover, each one was controlled so realistically, which one was real? Which one was fake? Even an experienced god like Han Wenqing probably couldn't tell for a moment.

So he simply didn't judge.

Playing rock-paper-scissors with the opponent and changing tactics was not Han Wenqing's style at all. He had always been simple and direct. Seven figures? Desert Dust charged straight over, directly blasting towards Gao Yingjie's Mu'en.

Liu Xiaobie quickly manipulated Flying Sword to turn around, and a sword light chased after him. As a result, the moment he turned around, a brick flew out from the light and shadow of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' attack. The next moment, the Hundred Blossoms style attack was no longer cover, and it instantly swallowed Flying Sword. In that instant, the audience could see Flying Sword's health bar sliding straight down. Liu Xiaobie, who had unleashed his hand speed, was simply outmaneuvered by two seniors.

And he, who was covered by the Hundred Blossoms style, was not only injured, but also felt dizzy in that instant, and Dark Forest's figure also began to become difficult to discern. Just as Liu Xiaobie aimed and prepared to rush up, a ball of white light burned all over his body. It turned out that a Holy Fire had drifted to his feet at some point.

The interference of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' attack must be cut off!

Liu Xiaobie was still clear-headed. This was a strong enemy they had already fought twice in the playoffs, and they had mostly seen each other's methods. The Hundred Blossoms style had to be nipped in the bud, otherwise they could only suffer this endless interference. Don't imagine that the light and shadow would also be a cover for you. That kind of Hundred Blossoms style was only half-baked. The Hundred Blossoms style from Zhang Jiale was absolutely targeted. It wasn't just releasing skills one by one according to the output cycle to create this piece of splendor. Where each attack hit and what it blocked were all carefully considered. So the only one truly locked down by the Hundred Blossoms style was Liu Xiaobie himself. The Tyranny players, or the audience, could clearly see the situation when the Hundred Blossoms style was truly deployed.

Liu Xiaobie determined the position of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. Ignoring the fact that his skills were sealed, he rushed up. Zhang Jiale naturally wouldn't let him get close so easily. He fought and retreated, maintaining the distance between the two sides. Soon, a few seconds passed, and Flying Sword's skill seal was automatically解除(jiechu -解除: lifted/removed), and Liu Xiaobie quickly operated. Flying Sword swung his sword with a Three-Stage Cut, and the sword light flashed into a line. Then he saw a handful of sand being thrown at his face.

Liu Xiaobie's hand speed was really fast. In that critical moment, he even managed to deflect Flying Sword's view slightly. As a result, he was hit by another brick on the back of his head.

Liu Xiaobie was about to cry. This Lin Jingyan wasn't so despicable when he was in Hundred Blossoms. His style had really changed a lot after arriving at Tyranny.

What good could come of Flying Sword being stunned? Naturally, it was another wave of focused attacks. On the other side, Gao Yingjie had long seen that the situation was not good and had been trying to rescue him, but it was not something that could be done by simply riding a broom to get rid of Han Wenqing's close-quarters combat.

The other three members of Tiny Herb had now successfully joined forces. As a result, they immediately received news that Liu Xiaobie and Gao Yingjie were trapped. At this time, gunshots were still ringing non-stop around them. Tyranny's fifth player, Qin Muyun's sharpshooter, had very deceptively misled Tiny Herb's judgment. Now that they reacted, the team had been divided into two parts.

The three of them rushed to the rescue. Qin Muyun alone couldn't stop them, of course, but he just made some slight restraints. When the three of them arrived to rescue him, Liu Xiaobie's Flying Sword was already on the verge of death. Yuan Boqing quickly manipulated Dongchongxiacao to rush up to save him, but Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' attack instantly enveloped them. Yuan Boqing's vision was blocked, and he couldn't find Flying Sword's location at all.

On the other hand, Liu Xiaobie's vision suddenly cleared, and he was immediately invigorated. Although his life was not much, he still actively found Zhang Xinjie's healer, Stone Not Turning, and rushed up without hesitation.

Bang!

A gunshot.

The three members of Tiny Herb arrived, and Qin Muyun from Tyranny had naturally withdrawn. As soon as he returned to the team, he found an attack entry point and fired a Barrett Sniper, accurately hitting Flying Sword's head. Barrett Sniper's hidden effect: hitting the head will cause double damage. In an instant, Flying Sword's head turned into a cloud of blood mist. This attack looked like it had really blown his head off. Flying Sword fell like this. In the team competition, Tyranny took the first point.

Killing Flying Sword helped Tyranny gain a brief advantage with more players than the opponent. They didn't waste it and instantly launched a wave of focused attacks.

The advantage had been established, and the veterans would never allow such an advantage to slip from their hands. At this moment, they all forgot their age and, like Liu Xiaobie, unleashed their hand speed regardless of the cost. In the technical statistics on the electronic screen, the APM of the two teams rose one wave after another. The intensity of the battle could be imagined just by looking at the data. Tiny Herb's captain, Wang Jiexi, even broke through 350 and moved towards 400 in this wave. His Magician style was also very consuming of operations.

Tiny Herb finally managed to hold out until their sixth player entered the arena, but "complete" was only in terms of numbers. Tyranny's offensive ultimately caused a lot of damage to them. Tyranny's veterans were too good at using the advantage in numbers. Although they couldn't pull away another member of Tiny Herb, the advantage was further amplified.

Five against five, Tyranny instantly slowed down the pace. After all, fighting with operations was not their strength. It was okay to have a wave at the right time, but to keep unleashing hand speed so excitedly would be the death of the veterans.

Seeing that the advantage had been established, Tyranny not only did not press forward, but instead slowed down the pace and started a war of attrition with Tiny Herb. In the back-and-forth exchanges, many viewers noticed that Qin Muyun, from Tyranny, received very little healing, as if he was deliberately being released.

Such a mistake could not happen to Zhang Xinjie, of course. This was a tactical choice. Anyone with some Glory knowledge could judge that Tyranny was seeking to actively change players. Although Tyranny slowed down the pace, they were controlling the initiative on the field with all their might.

Under steady and solid play, Qin Muyun successfully exchanged with the sixth player, Bai Yanfei. And the medical treatment saved by sacrificing Qin Muyun was effectively distributed to the other players, and their conditions were very good. At this time, the sixth player, full of health and mana, replaced the sharpshooter Zero Degrees Celsius with his remaining health, and the advantage on the field was further amplified.

In the end, Tyranny did not let such an advantage slip from their hands. In the team competition, Tyranny defeated Tiny Herb 6 to 3, and finally won the semi-finals with a total score of 10 to 8, and successfully advanced to the finals as they wished.
