The God’s-eye view provided a clear picture of the situation on the field, but the players on the field were unaware of it.
However, judging by the relaxed pace of Seven Silver Coins, even if they were informed about the alliance now, these individuals wouldn’t show any signs of urgency.
If one were to observe the main perspective of Seven Silver Coins in the live stream, they would hear Jiang Shi holding up a finger, giving a final reminder to Scavenger, “Sis, 20 headshots, remember?”
“Got it.” Scavenger, feeling hassled, reluctantly raised the wrench in her hand.
On the map, players from various teams were all moving.
Immediately afterward, an anticipated scene unfolded.
From the God’s-eye view, it was noticeable that after the meeting between Old Dream Time and Sky Vine, the distance between them and Seven Silver Coins was getting closer.
Finally, they spotted each other within their respective fields of vision.
So, what would Seven Silver Coins do next?
The whole audience held their breath, their gaze fixed on this unexpected encounter.
Naturally, Seven Silver Coins noticed the odd number of opponents across from them. Combined with the team names of the two alliances, they instantly understood the situation of the alliance.
However, their initial response was not to retreat but rather to take a few steps forward eagerly, their intention quite apparent.
“So many people… heads,” Jiang Shi heard Han Yuze’s meaningful laughter and nodded in agreement, “A gift of heads shows sincerity.”
While the three factions met, their intentions were varied.
Seven Silver Coins seemed a bit impatient, while both alliances felt somewhat weak in morale after finding their targets.
However, encounters on the battlefield were destined to lead to a clash. Since contact had been established, each team quickly adjusted its formation.
Both Old Dream Time and Sky Vine Guilds were on high alert, while Seven Silver Coins had a straightforward idea—to use this match to practice their teamwork honed over a long period.
Jiang Shi signaled, and everyone immediately took their positions.
Muchuan Pants stood at the forefront, while Deep Well Ice Player and Jiang Shi’s PoisonedMilk were at the rear. Han Yuze’s Yu Weize was in the center, while Scavenger had already concealed herself using the surrounding terrain.
Overall, it was a very conventional formation.
Players from Old Dream Time and Sky Vine Guilds had been watching Seven Silver Coins’ movements from the start and, after discussions, allocated responsibilities for the upper and lower halves of the battlefield.
The official commentator was keenly interested in the situation on the field and noticed the adjustments made by the three factions in that brief moment, speaking with some amazement, “It seems that Old Dream Time and Sky Vine had planned this in advance. Looking at their lineup distribution, they cleverly chose their respective areas of expertise. Sky Vine has always been strong in long-range sniping. If they coordinate well with Old Dream Time, it would be challenging for Seven Silver Coins to gain any advantage.”
Having said this, even the commentator didn’t realize that he had unconsciously considered Seven Silver Coins as an overwhelming force capable of overpowering two opponents.
However, being a seasoned official commentator, his previous statement was indeed on point.
Among the members of the Sky Vine team were a Beast Shaman, Dwarf Cannon, Archer, Light Mage, and Priest. Although they were all professions that would be quite awkward once in close combat, when combined with Old Dream Time’s series of melee tactics to distract, they could at least unleash a very disruptive effect on this map.
It could be considered a fortuitous coincidence that, from the current situation, these two guilds seemed surprisingly suited for collaboration in their lineup configuration.
After quick and careful adjustments, perhaps to avoid showing any signs of weakness, the two alliances moved toward Seven Silver Coins and initiated an attack.
“Very brave,” their momentum caught Jiang Shi’s attention, and he couldn’t help but smile and compliment.
Han Yuze raised an eyebrow, “Let’s get started.”
Before the words had even finished, a group of assembled micro-machines abruptly dispersed in the air, forming a dense output network on the periphery, perfectly surrounding the players charging at the front.
A Knight player from Old Dream Time unleashed a shockwave, breaking through the firepower interference and aiming directly at the foremost defense line where Muchuan Pants was situated.
Evidently, the intention was to restrict the sole tank player from Seven Silver Coins in place.
“Clang—!”
The clashing of the knights’ long spears created a piercing sound effect. Shortly after, deafening cannon fire erupted from two directions almost simultaneously.
Both Deep Well Ice Player and the Sky Vine Guild’s Dwarf Cannoneer unexpectedly joined the battle.
The entire battlefield was instantly filled with flying debris and earth.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shi timely adjusted his position from the rear, precisely locking in the distance. With a runestone in hand, he began the rotation along with the cross.
Official commentator: “The speed of constructing this field is so fast…”
Before the commentator could finish his amazement, three fields had been instantly created on-site.
These domains were cunningly positioned, causing the advance of several Old Dream Time players to stall. Their intended follow-up attacks were forced to be interrupted, and they had to readjust their offensive rhythm.
However, regardless of the situation, the initial vigorous charge had been quietly diffused.
With no one following up, the knight player at the forefront suddenly appeared somewhat isolated.
Glancing backward, intending to retreat into the protective embrace of his teammates, he unexpectedly found himself plunging into an area of emptiness, and his entire field of vision darkened.
A blindness field.
All visual screens were completely deprived.
With only his sense of hearing left, the knight player forcibly steadied himself, keenly catching the nearing footsteps. He instantly raised his spear high.
Yet, as he activated the knight’s spirit to boost his high defense, he didn’t encounter the anticipated attack. On the contrary, what he heard was the crisp “click” sound under his feet.
Outside spectators, not possessing the God’s-eye view, could clearly see what had happened. Even those in the alliance team who were not within the blindness domain could discern the situation.
The knight player’s judgment was correct; someone had indeed approached him, but the opponent showed no intent to attack. Instead, in a moment of proximity, they laid out an extensive array of temporary traps around the field.
Thief-exclusive traps were densely and extensively arranged. While this might seem somewhat extravagant under normal circumstances, facing the blinded knight player, it was just right.
At this moment, Jiang Shi’s purpose in using the blindness field was entirely evident.
With this combination, even if the knight player realized that someone had set traps in front of him, he had no way to respond. After the first “click,” there was a succession of clear trap-triggering sounds circling his ears, creating a somewhat melodious resonance from a certain perspective.
Several of the Old Dream Time players who had just been forced to retreat watched helplessly as their teammate enacted a farcical act of “live mine-sweeping.” After quickly adjusting, they were about to return for support but saw another runestone field suddenly rise in their midst.
Again, adjusting their direction based on Jiang Shi’s prediction, they were intercepted once more.
Readjusting, intercepted again…
Old Dream Time player: “…”
Seriously, when will this end?
Just as they cursed silently in their minds, ready to dash forward, they turned around only to come face-to-face with an extensive mechanical army poised for action.
Old Dream Time player: “…………”
They hurried over to provide assistance, naturally unaware that, outside the field, everything was being observed clearly.
If the knight player’s trapped location was the first layer, the area where the frontline sought opportunities was the second layer. Just when they focused on charging forward, oblivious to what was behind them, Yu Weize’s mechanical system had already been fully deployed in the third layer’s area.
As for the fifth layer, Sky Vine’s team, positioned to assist from a distance, had been entirely cut off by the rune master’s rune domain in the fourth layer and was almost in a forgotten and marginalized state.
The official commentator quickly scanned the situation on the field, with their gaze fixed on the rune master positioned at the rear of Seven Silver Coins’ formation.
Although the scene appeared somewhat chaotic, if one carefully listed what happened in each area, it was still not difficult to discern that this support player had inadvertently brought about the current situation.
From dividing the battlefield to protecting teammates and ensuring the output environment… If each aspect were to be graded, it could be said that it had been taken to the extreme.
Wasn’t this already the ultimate support that everyone dreamed of?
Moreover, the crucial point was that if he wasn’t mistaken, there was a moment when the number of rune domains simultaneously existing on the field had exceeded the highest record set by the Lonely Tomb in the past.
Being a seasoned commentator, the commentator naturally understood that many words were not suitable for public expression at that moment. At this point, all they could do was take a deep breath silently.
Although the scene at the Nianhua Cup could be considered as bullying, it had to be admitted that the strength of this batch of returning players in Seven Silver Coins was indeed terrifying.
If they could smoothly advance to the Century Cup, competing with those old and powerful teams on the same stage would undoubtedly present another fiercely thrilling spectacle!
On the field, Scavenger moved like a fish in water under the cover of the blindness effect.
Being a thief was a profession that relied on agility. Her agility was already top-notch, and with Jiang Shi’s guidance, she almost made the opposing knight player achieve the exclusive achievement of “a trap for every step.”
Poison fog traps, freezing traps, withering vine traps…
One after another, directly disoriented the knight player, and after making the tough tank main t the first to be eliminated.
With the head secured, Scavenger subconsciously wanted to go loot but remembered she was still in the middle of the match.
Controlling her urge due to professional habits, she remembered the task for this match and rushed directly toward the area surrounded by the mechanical army.
1/20.
There was still a long way to go to complete today’s quota.
Scavenger glanced at the freshly updated score statistics on-site and sighed quietly in her mind.
Tsk, let’s keep working hard.
