In the heart of Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands, a battle between reason and emotions took place. Finally, recalling the previous encounter where they were trapped in the rune area, unable to respond to the calls of heaven or receive any earthly support, he compromised, “No problem, helping with a heal on the fly is no big deal.”
Jiang Shi modestly smiled, “Then let me thank God Spring in advance.”
Afterwards, he turned to his teammates, “I said there’s no need to worry about healing in this round. Look, isn’t it as stable as it gets?”
Gentleman Fan responded with a mocking smile, leaving him to interpret it himself.
Watching the interaction, Han Yuze couldn’t help but laugh, then turned toReturn to Spring’s Skillful Hands, “So, it’s my turn next.”
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands glared, “Didn’t we agree there were no conditions? I’ve already promised to heal you, what more do you want?”
“It’s God Spring without conditions, not me,” Han Yuze said without a hint of concern.
Having long been accustomed to this person’s nonexistent bottom line,Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands sighed and rubbed his forehead, “Alright, you’re right, you win. Please go ahead and state your conditions!”
Han Yuze silently smiled, “My conditions are actually very simple, just five words.”
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands asked, “Hmm?”
Han Yuze spoke slowly, “Deal with the Crusaders first.”
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands blinked, and after a moment, a smile of understanding appeared, “I knew you were waiting for this. Always avoiding conflicts with the scoundrels and Old Yu, revenge is never too late for a typical case.”
Han Yuze neither confirmed nor denied, “What do you say?”
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands replied, “Okay, deal.”
The group in the video gathered together to discuss tactics briefly. Although the conversation was still clearly heard in the main perspective of both teams in the live stream, due to the rapid shifts in thought, the viewers’ understanding was momentarily lost. This caused the entire barrage discussion focus to shift to the condition proposed by Yu Weize.
[“Did I misperceive it just now? Did Yu Weize actively suggest dealing with the Crusaders?”]
[“During the previous interview, wasn’t it evident that the Crusaders and them have never gotten along?”]
[“Not getting along? I thought it was just for show, after all, both guilds are still listed in the Alliance Guild, right?”]
[“Surface alliance, behind-the-scenes enemies? 66666, they’ve seen through this gimmick.”]
[“So, when Yu Weize left the guild earlier, it was because of a falling out with the Crusaders? Dealing with the Crusaders in this round is basically preventing them from advancing to the next round, harsh move.”]
[“Considering the situation with Yu Weize leaving earlier, no matter how you look at it, the Crusaders seemed to have wronged Yu Weize first, right?”]
[“Don’t judge, I’m not a fan of Yu Weize, just objectively stating that at the time, there were rumors that the Crusaders intentionally provoked him.”]
[“Then how did they end up forming an alliance again?”]
[“Hehehe, you guys don’t know about this. I’ve received some inside information that the Crusaders were scared of the Seven Silver Coins and had to reluctantly cede territory and compensation.”]
[“? Where did this inside information come from? Is the situation inside these top guilds really this stimulating?”]
[“You guys are so gossipy. Am I the only one who wants to light a candle for the Crusaders? Seven Silver Coins are one thing, but if Blood Roses are involved too, meeting them is pretty much a GG rhythm.”]
[“You can’t say that. What if the Crusaders are lucky and never encounter this alliance combination throughout the entire map? After all, the map is so big, maybe…”]
The barrage on this side continued its intense discussion.
In the game map, the two teams, after finishing their discussion, had encountered the first pair of enemy forces for this match.
Because the speed of hiding was extremely fast, but from the flashing screen, the fuzzy figures of those few people in the distance could still be vaguely captured.
The viewers in the livestream were completely silent.
As they say, Cao Cao arrived when he was mentioned. Among so many teams, they unexpectedly had this kind of destined meeting. One really couldn’t tell if the Crusaders had bad luck or good luck.
The hiding speed of the Seven Silver Coins and Blood Roses was quite fast, ensuring they were not discovered by the opponents. After a simple exchange, excluding the Deep Well Ice Player, the other four members of the Seven Silver Coins walked out unceremoniously from their hiding place.
This time, they directly headed in the direction where the Crusaders were located, without making any attempt to conceal their movements.
They had confidence, not only because they had the support of the Blood Roses’ God Spring, a god-tier healer, but also because the terrain around them had been explored in advance.
As for leaving Deep Well Ice Player behind, it was for the convenience of subsequent operations. Moreover, considering the situation where both teams couldn’t share a voice channel after forming an alliance, a situation highlighted by the failed cooperation between Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes in the previous round, it was necessary to leave someone behind for communication between the two teams.
In this way, Deep Well Ice Player seemed a bit busy.
For someone with a deep social anxiety, being the bridge for communication between two teams was an undoubtedly challenging task.
[[Current] Deep Well Ice Player: Poisoned Milk said, just wait here peacefully, he guarantees the completion of the task.]
[[Current] Deep Well Ice Player: Yu Weize said, let God Spring prepare to come over and support in a bit; he might be preparing for a tough fight, and Healing Dad will need to watch him.]
[[Current] Deep Well Ice Player: Scavenger said, you can completely ignore her later; she can run on her own.]
[[Current] Deep Well Ice Player: Poisoned Milk said, then when the time comes, let Scavenger come over for a heal. After all, a healer dad shouldn’t be wasted in vain.]
Blood Roses’ players: “…………”
Without discussing the blatant shamelessness conveyed between the lines, just looking at Deep Frost Ice Patient’s earnest attitude in trying to faithfully replicate the original sentences, Mad Stomp couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, “Short-range friend, is typing really that inconvenient?”
[[Current] Deep Well Ice Player:……]
[[Current] Deep Well Ice Player: Being able to stay behind is already giving face to Poisoned Milk, understand?]
[[Current] Deep Well Ice Player: If it weren’t in the game, when he made this suggestion, I should have blasted him with a cannon.]
Mad Stomp rubbed his head, “Are you really so resistant?”
This time, Deep Well Ice Player pursed his lips and didn’t reply.
In a place not visible to the Blood Roses, his hands trembled slightly as he gripped the heavy cannon.
He swore that after the match, he would definitely kill Poisoned Milk, the guy who left him so weak and helpless alone!
On the other side, Jiang Shi sneezed lowly.
Rubbing his nose, he said in a puzzled tone, “Lately, it seems like I’ve been sneezing a lot in the game. Is this some new system setting?”
[[Party] Deep Well Ice Player: Have you ever thought that it might be a curse from somewhere?]
“Prepare well, don’t mess around,” Jiang Shi disdainfully clicked his tongue and turned to look, “Provocation duty, will you go?”
Han Yuze gracefully took on the task, “Of course.”
The players from the Crusaders clearly did not expect that the members of Seven Silver Coins would approach them so openly.
Looking at the current ranking situation, they were also one of the teams on the edge of advancing or retreating.
Only eight teams could qualify for the first round, and aside from those who had essentially secured their spots, the remaining teams were in a situation where advancing by one meant the other would have to retreat. In a sense, the competition was much fiercer among these teams compared to those at the front.
At a time like this, if they could eliminate Seven Silver Coins, who were also fighting for a spot, it would mean more chances of advancing for the Crusaders. Moreover, there were many grievances between the two guilds.
Without much greeting, the two sides quickly engaged in battle.
In the Crusaders’ team, there were a total of three engineers, and the densely packed miniature mechs surged forward, creating a formidable formation.
However, even though Seven Silver Coins didn’t have a numerical advantage, Han Yuze’s skills in his operating field were top-notch, and he showed no weakness in countering their attacks.
Jiang Shi quickly set up several rune domains for cover, and with Scavenger and Gentleman Fan flanking, their main target was surprisingly the Crusaders’ healing player, Champs.
The burst damage from a combination of a rogue and an assassin was undoubtedly terrifying, but Champs was well-prepared. At the critical moment, she quickly activated the Priest’s level 55 skill, Soul Faith, providing her with a few seconds of invulnerability. During this time, she utilized a taunting skill, with the Knight player beside her absorbing Gentleman Fan’s threat, and managed to withstand Scavenger’s damage, pulling herself back from the brink of death.
“Don’t mind Yu Weize, kill the rogue first!” After giving the prompt in the team’s voice chat, Champs activated Faith and, with increased movement speed, retreated to a safe distance. She prepared to assist her Knight teammate in launching a counterattack.
The other two Crusader engineers also quickly returned to defend.
Akdas’s strength was obviously a bit weaker than Han Yuze’s, but the ambition to replace him made him grit his teeth, and he barely managed to single-handedly withstand the fierce onslaught. “I’ll hold Yu Weize here; you guys go for a quick victory! There are only four of them, we can’t miss this opportunity!”
“Got it!” Champs naturally understood that opportunities were rare. However, after agreeing, she still faintly felt that something was wrong. Subconsciously, she looked at the battlefield between the two engineers from both sides.
Has Akdas improved so rapidly recently? He could barely hold off Han Yuze?
At this moment, she couldn’t dwell on it too much.
She quickly retracted her thoughts, guarding against the enemy’s burst, and prepared to raise her health when her teammates received high damage.
But before the Crusaders could surround them, Gentleman Fan, after the expiration of the taunting effect, suddenly lowered his figure. With a strange movement, he stepped on several traps laid by the Crusader Knight.
At the moment when the cooldown skills were ready, he directly entered stealth.
Both rogues and assassins had invisibility skills – [Stealth] and [Escape] respectively.
Although their health values were somewhat low, with their coordinated efforts, they managed to escape from the Crusaders’ encirclement.
Returning to Han Yuze’s vicinity, with the cover of the miniature mech lineup, the three of them decisively turned around and ran, almost without any hesitation.
“D*mn it, chase them! Don’t let them escape!” Akdas, wanting to prove himself, was annoyed that Yu Weize, this sixth player, was actually retreating at the first sign of trouble. He gritted his teeth and gave the order.
The Crusader players decisively pursued.
Among them, only Champs didn’t get too carried away. Watching the fleeing Seven Silver Coins, she frowned, and the uneasy feeling in her heart intensified.
Isn’t it against Yu Weize’s style to retreat without fighting?
Champs: “Akdas.”
Akdas’s voice was full of impatience, not even turning his head: “Deal with it after the fight!”
Champs opened her mouth to remind, but the words were swallowed back.
At the same time, Deep Well Ice Player in the rear conveyed the latest information to his allies.
[[Party] Deep Well Ice Player: Poisoned Milk said, ready, the fish is on the hook~^_^~]
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands somewhat used to this friend’s eccentricities, thought for a moment and asked, “What’s with this expression?”
[[Party] Deep Well Ice Player: Judging from his tone, it should be this kind of expression. Since it’s conveyed, I have to keep up appearances a bit.]
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands: “.”
Need to compliment his dedication?
Deep well ice player is so cute lmao 🤣
