The King's ReturnChapter 277

translator: Oyen

Both captains went to the referee to roll the dice, and Qin Mo got the first hand. xzWq9O

In the commentary room, Ye Chao took the initiative to ask. “What mode do the two guests think Qin Mo will choose at home?”

“Is it better for the top student to analyse it?” Liu Chuan looked back at Wu Zewen.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wu Zewen was not polite. He took out his iPad seriously and looked at his statistics, then replied. “According to the statistics of the regular season, the winning rates of Mojue in the escort, secret letter and treasure hunting modes are 60%, 85% and 100% respectively. Of course, this data does not represent everything. After all, Mojue has the largest number of escort modes in the regular season, while treasure hunting and secret letter modes are all below five. With my understanding of Qin Mo, he is likely to choose secret letter mode or treasure hunting mode in this game, and the possibility of secret letter mode is even greater.”

“From the statistics, Mojue’s treasure hunting mode is the most powerful, right?” Ye Chao was a little unconvinced. COrZHx

Wu Zewen replied. “Because the winning rate of Dynasty in treasure hunting mode is also 100%.” He supported his glasses and explained earnestly, “Dynasty has four attackers: Chu Jianxin, Sang Jun, Lin Yao and Wen Hua. With Yan Qing, the healer, Mojue will never win in treasure hunting mode 1v1. However, in secret letter mode if they choose a favourable map, they have a better chance of winning.”

Liu Chuan nodded in agreement. “Zewen was right. Dynasty is strongest at escort mode. Qin Mo will definitely not choose the escort. I also prefer the secret letter mode in the first game.”

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Mo submitted the game mode to show deference—— Secret Letter mode.

As for the game map, he chose the ‘Immortal Beast Maze’ with many obstacles. This was a mechanism array map. There would be five stone mechanisms in the shape of Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger and Qilin. After the players turned two mechanisms one after another, they would form a connection between the two mechanisms.

The audience could clearly see the location of the statue through 3D playback of the map. The shape of this map was very regular square, east and west facing the statue of Vermilion Bird, south and north facing the statue of Azure Dragon, northwest and southeast opposite the White Tiger statue, northeast and southwest opposite the statue of Black Tortoise, and in the middle of the map was the Qilin stone statue, which was also the respawning point of the messenger.

In the live broadcast room, a kind audience immediately posted a top view of the map, marking the location of the statue in detail——

White Tiger [Northwest] Azure Dragon [North] Black Tortoise [Northeast]

Vermillion Bird [West] Qilin [Center] Vermillion Bird [East] f9VIO6

Black Tortoise[Southwest] Azure Dragon [Sout] White Tiger[Southeast]

Seeing this statue map, Wu Zewen commented. “This is a very difficult mechanism map. The commander should not only master the position of all mechanisms on the map and the influence of turning the mechanism, but also make tactical adjustments at any time according to the changes of the mechanism.”

Liu Chuan looked at the map carefully and asked curiously. “From the perspective of God, there will be a connecting line between the statues. What is the function of this connecting line?”

Ye Chao took the initiative to explain. “Once the connecting line between statues is formed, it is equivalent to forming a natural map barrier. The players separated by the connecting line can’t directly cross over. Only by turning one of the connected statue mechanisms can this line be eliminated and crossed to the other side. For example, the Vermillion Bird statues in the east and west are connected to form a red connecting line, and the map is divided into upper and lower half areas, and the players in the upper half area cannot come to the lower half area. The Vermillion Bird in the east is connected to the Azure Dragon in the south, and a diagonal line will be formed in the lower right corner to intercept the player’s way.” bnYtf

Liu Chuan rubbed his temple and replied. “This is a very complicated map.”

With bright eyes, Wu Zewen stared at the map. “But it is also fun.”

Wu Zewen looked at the map and pondered it carefully before replying. “It should be battlefield isolation.” He pointed to all kinds of statues on the map and continued. “When you play a team battle later, Mojue’s players may act separately, and open Immortal Beast statue mechanisms as soon as possible, so that the field can be separated from the connecting line. For example, if Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon are all connected, the site will be divided into a ‘田’ shape. The secret letter is likely to be handed over to Xiao Han. Once the battlefield is separated, it is not so easy for Dynasty to attack to kill the holder of the secret letter.”

Ye Chao nodded in agreement. “Indeed, as long as there is a connecting line on the map, it is a natural barrier, and they can’t pass. The longer the time is delayed, the easier it is for the holder of the secret letter to return it to the mission location and win the game. However, Dynasty side is not stupid. After seeing this map, vice captain Sang should have a strategy to deal with it.”

Dynasty games had always been under vice captain Sang Jun’s command, which was no longer unfamiliar to the netizens who paid attention to the league. 0KxkOb

Seeing Qin Mo choose the map, Dynasty’s fans in the live broadcast room were also cheering Sang Jun: “Sangsang fighting!”

“Such a complicated map feels dizzy by various connecting lines!”

“Meng Xin asked, can penetration skills pass through the connecting line?”

“No, the powerful thing about this map is that all the skills of penetrating obstacles can’t be used here, because the line barrier is not an obstacle, but a kind of… boundary?” 3gAZkp

A line divides the map into two halves, which clearly showed that the opponent was close at hand, but couldn’t attack him and couldn’t reach his side. This kind of connecting line was not so much an obstacle, as it was a kind of transparent boundary. Only by closing the corresponding mechanism at the middle of the Qilin statue according to the map setting could this kind of connection boundary be eliminated.

Netizens entered a heated discussion, and the appearance of ancient immortal beast statues in the map also made the game more interesting.

In contrast to the restlessness of his fans, Sang Jun appeared to be very calm, and then he banned the secret book. Secret letter mode control field secret books were relatively high priority, so Sang Jun’s secret book banning was also very clear, the most powerful group fear control field secret book ‘Bodhi Mantra’ and the single sleep control for 5 seconds of ‘Reminiscence’ was banned, and then he banned ‘Shadowless Scroll’.

Many netizens didn’t understand this point. Wu Zewen took the initiative to explain. “This is a ban against Xiao Han. Sang Jun may have guessed that this Mojue’s game will definitely take advantage of Xiao Han’s great mobility and make detours around mechanism maps to disrupt Dynasty’s cooperation. The existence of a secret book of invisibility is indeed even more powerful for Xiao Han.” PX4IL

“That’s right,” Ye Chao agreed. “As the connection boundary cannot be broken through with skills, all the secret books of teleportation and qinggong in this game have become of little value, and both sides should directly abandon it, then the rest are defense, control, and attack.”

Liu Chuan smiled. “If I was Sang Jun, I would be the first to grab ‘Clear Heart Mantra’, a release control secret book, that can stand up to countless group controls. It is never wrong to cope with shifting events by sticking to a fundamental principle.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sang Jun also chose the first secret book to save face—— it was really ‘Clear Heart Mantra’.

Ye Chao couldn’t help sighing. “Today, both of the guest commentators haven’t been slapped in the face once!” Why couldn’t he guess every time he explained? hm xcU

Liu Chuan beamed a smile. “Because my face is thick, the hands will be hurt to slap.”

Audience: “……”

You really know yourself!

Both commanders had clear ideas, and they didn’t waste time in the secret books’ selection stage. They split up the secret books in the library very quickly.

Next was the lineup, the lineup sent by Dynasty: In addition to the four outputs, namely, Chu Jianxin, Sang Jun, Lin Yao and Wen Hua, there was also an output named Duan Xiaobo. However, he played Luoying Valley’s jade flute flow, the long-range player with the most field control skills.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

This player’s performance in this regular season was remarkable. Sang Jun had taken him on the field many times, obviously focusing on training.

In this way, Dynasty’s lineup had become a counterattack type meat shield + double assassins + poison master + musician lineup. What shocked the audience was that, in addition to Chu Jianxin bringing ‘Clear Heart Mantra’ to release control, the other four unexpectedly brought output secret books! JIsRi3

Seeing this, Ye Chao couldn’t help but exclaim. “Dynasty’s output lineup is too strong, everyone can output, and there are also the master T who pulls players and the musician who controls the players. Later, when the team fights, Chu Jianxin first pulls the players over and controls them for a short while, leaving the two assassins and a poison master to directly attack to kill in seconds.”

Wu Zewen pushed his glasses and replied seriously. “Sang Jun really considered it very comprehensively. He should have guessed Qin Mo’s layout, so he should strike first and get the first hand in the team battle.”

“Has Qin Mo’s lineup not been submitted yet? Is he still thinking about it?” Liu Chuan asked.

The lineup submitted by the commanders, the audience and the commentators were from God’s perspective so they could be seen in advance, but both commanders couldn’t see each other’s lineup. Only when the game map was loaded could they see each other’s lineup and secret books on each other’s screens. q8BjaK

Qin Mo didn’t know how Sang Jun would respond at this time. After thinking for a while, he quickly submitted the list.

Zhu Qingyue, Qin Mo, Xiao Han, Shen He and Pei Yu, they brought out three control secret books and two output secret books.

Without Xiao He and Muran, the defensive ability of this lineup was not high. Without Liu Hong, the output was not the strongest. However, Shen He’s pets had high flexibility, Pei Yu had many field control skills, and Qingyue was the first auxiliary, so the thinking of Qin Mo was very clear—— control opponents, and then use map characteristics to find opportunities.

After seeing this, Liu Chuan who was puzzled before immediately said. “It is really a very smart approach. Dynasty’s lineup is strong in the ability to focus attack and kill in seconds, and Mojue’s lineup is strong in flexibility and mobility.  It seems that Qin Mo is going to fight guerrilla warfare in this game.” PrHMch

Ye Chao replied. “Dynasty obviously wants to take the lead. If Mojue can’t take the lead, he has to kill the other party and get the secret letter. But Dynasty has the first main T Chu Jianxin, it is not so easy to intercept his teammates. Moreover, there is a great probability that the secret letter will be put on Sang Jun.”

Liu Chuan smiled. “Qin Mo will definitely find a way, let’s continue to watch!”

The competition soon began, and the two players refreshed next to the White Tiger statues in the northwest and southeast corners. Qin Mo and Sang Jun turned the white tiger statue mechanism at the same time, which seemed to be an experiment, so the northwest and southeast corners were connected into a white straight line, and the map was divided into two areas on the upper right and the lower left.

Dynasty went to the upper right area, and Mojue just went to the lower left area. When they reached the middle of the map, although they could see each other, they could not attack each other because of the boundary. qr6mSR

But the scope of the Qilin statue in the center of the map was not limited by the boundary, and the messenger was respawned here.

As soon as Dynasty’s players saw the messenger, they threw themselves at it without hesitation. Chu Jianxin seized the messenger. Sang Jun, Wen Hua and Lin Yao broke out to attack, and Xiao Duan in the back row also assisted the attack. In a twinkling of an eye, the messenger’s health was emptied.

They hit the messenger with astonishing speed, and in just a minute, the messenger was killed!

—— Dynasty team has killed ‘The Messenger’. YAgvoS

A notice appeared on the screen. Sang Jun was the one who made the last hit.

“Withdraw!” Sang Jun gave a command.

Almost at the same time, Qin Mo also gave a command. “Disperse!”

Therefore, the audience saw that the four Dynasty’s players protected Sang Jun and quickly retreated to the southeast base camp. However, because Sang Jun could not use qigong with a secret letter, the movement speed of all players would naturally slow down. 0KnowT

On Mojue’s side, there was no restriction on qinggong, and everyone drove it to disperse quickly in all directions.

Sang Jun was surprised. He thought Xiao Han and Qin Mo would catch up with him to intercept the secret letter as quickly as possible, but… Mojue never chased them, instead, they were dispersed?

The audience was puzzled about this too until the next moment——

In front of the three players in the Dynasty team’s front row, a red line suddenly appeared, blocking their way. dN8B1D

Turning around, a blue connecting line appeared behind him, separating the two long-ranges outside and blocking the retreat of melee combat.

Two proper diagonal lines forced the Dynasty team to be divided into groups.

Sang Jun’s heart was cold, and he instantly realized that Qin Mo connected the statues in the South and West, and at the same time connected the statues in the South and Southeast, forming two diagonal lines on the map, which separated the five members of Dynasty team. At the same time, he also sandwiched Sang Jun who carried the secret letter, Wen Hua and Chu Jianxin, who were melees, in the middle.

The comments started to flood in the live broadcast room: “It is also can be operated like this!” Z69jE

“God Mo is really 66666!”

“God Mo’s skill points for exploring new maps are definitely full!”

“There is an underwater lurking battle in the semifinals, this time the finals played the mechanism map connecting line to separate into groups. How did he think of it? I look at them all in a daze!”

The audience did look a little confused, but Qin Mo used two connections at the most appropriate time to get the Dynasty team stuck in place. N0dmoS

Then, the audience saw that Qin Mo, Xiao Han and Zhu Qingyue appeared in the corner area between the lines, just facing Chu Jianxin, Sang Jun and Wen Hua.

3V3.

Such 3Vs… Mojue’s chance of winning was not small!

5s sleep control is ‘Song of Everlasting Regret’, maybe the author got confuse.
