The game has been going on for 8 minutes.
The second wave of Tyrant Overlord is about to spawn.
Su Hang's team chose to Overlord the Lord because all of the enemy's outer defensive towers had been destroyed, leaving only three high ground towers standing alone. As long as they could take down the Overlord and use the Dragon Soldier, they could achieve a one-wave push and wipe the enemy out.
"You can win the game in 9 minutes."
Let's clear out the lanes on both sides first.
Su Hang and Sun Quan went alone to the bottom lane to clear the minion wave, while Liuli and Zhang Fei went to the top lane to clear the minion wave and be wary of the enemy team taking down the Tyrant.
Sudden!
Just then...
The enemy's vision is exposed in the upper half of the map. Mulan, Han Xin, Shangguan Wan'er, Liu Shan, Di Renjie rush towards Liuli Zhang Fei, who is in the development lane.
"Capture Zhang Fei?"
Su Hang was slightly taken aback. Zhang Fei was a tank, and his health bar would be exaggerated to the size of a barcode after he activated his ultimate. Even if five people focused their fire on him, it would still take a lot of effort to kill Zhang Fei.
Moreover, there's no point in trying to catch Zhang Fei and lose some points. Now that all four of our teammates are fully equipped, we can win even if it's a four-on-five situation later.
"I understand."
Su Hang's gaze darkened slightly. The enemy knew they were doomed to lose, and to avoid a shutout and an embarrassing end, the five of them chose to focus their fire on Zhang Fei, hoping to get a kill.
This kind of dishonorable behavior has a specific term in professional leagues—protecting the team's KD (Kickboxing).
"You won't succeed."
At this moment, Zhang Fei, dressed as Liuli doll, is facing five enemies head-on. He is caught in a barrage of skill effects and, despite his high health, cannot withstand the concentrated damage. His health is dropping rapidly.
Forced to unleash his ultimate skill, he used the surging white shield to escape towards the first tower on the development lane.
The viewers in the live stream were on tenterhooks and filled with righteous indignation.
"Holy crap! Are they desperate for kills? Five of them are ganging up on a support."
"Shameless! If they had fought to the last moment, I would have respected them as heroes, but now, even against the support with the lowest economy, they're still grouping up in a five-man squad—a bunch of shameless bastards!"
"Having returned from Jiutianhu's livestream, all I can tell you is that they never intended to win from the start. Whether it was targeting Exalted Emperor in the early and mid-game, or now targeting Liuli Zhang Fei, their only goal was to get kills!"
"Huh? Holy crap! Isn't this just like the Wolves' match-fixing scandal back then? It's really corrupting the atmosphere!"
"If you had fought fair and square and killed Zhang Fei, I wouldn't have had a problem with you, brothers. But you completely abandoned the game and used five people to sneak around and ambush Zhang Fei. It's disgusting!"
" Zhang Fei, don't die! You must live! We can't let their schemes succeed!"
Shanglu Development Road.
Liuli Zhang Fei understood the enemy's intentions and desperately tried to escape towards the first tower on the development lane, but the five enemy players were like leeches clinging to his bones, relentlessly pursuing him.
"All my teammates are in the bottom lane."
Inside the bedroom on the top floor of the Yugong Tower.
Yugong Liuli sat on the carpet, her small hand dragging the minimap. Her crimson eyes fell on the lower half of the jungle. At this moment, her teammates were Overlord and had no way to come to her rescue. She was doomed to die in this wave.
"Looks like there's no escaping it."
A look of helplessness appeared on Yugong Liuli's snow-white face as she gave a bitter laugh, "I'm going to become a sacrifice for the opposing team's KD."
"If only you were here, senior."
For no apparent reason, Yugong Liuli thought of her idol, the Imperial Emperor. As a mentor to the King of Glory, the reason she chose the support role as her main position was entirely because of the Imperial Emperor!
To this day, she still remembers the Imperial Emperor's teachings: a support player must do everything in their power to protect their teammates. If they are in a life-or-death situation, they should not expect their teammates to turn around and rescue them, because that is the life of a support player!
"That's how my seniors are— Daozi- tongued but kind-hearted."
A gentle glint flashed in Yugong Liuli eyes. Over the past ten years, she had protected thousands of teammates and died countless times, but when she was matched with a senior, she was always the one who protected her!
Just like that ranked match in 2024, the senior player used the Fox Girl Matchmaker voice pack to make a domineering declaration. "[ Liuli, I've got your back! Got it?]"
"I will continue to protect my teammates until I meet my senior again!"
Yugong Liuli smiled with relief. She was only one step away from the first tower on the development path, but her health, which was as fragile as a candle in the wind, was not enough to support her entry into the tower.
Sudden!
Just then...
A Teleport of azure light descended upon the first tower on the development lane.
A young figure carrying a banner on his back gradually solidified!
It was none other than Exalted Emperor, Sun Quan!
" Exalted Emperor?"
Yugong Liuli froze on the spot, quickly looking down at the bottom lane, only to see Exalted Emperor Sun Quan Teleport at the location of the Teleport array.
"They actually came to rescue me?"
Yugong Liuli's eyes were filled with confusion. She had been matched with the Exalted Emperor when playing Dolia before, and had been rescued by the enemy, but that was just a side effect of wiping out the enemy team.
This time, however, Exalted Emperor Sun Quan had no side effects. His purpose in Teleport to the top lane was singular: to rescue himself!
"Release the arrows!"
Exalted Emperor Sun Quan, descends upon the first tower on the development lane! He quickly uses his first skill and Flash away from the tower.
I can survive!
After a brief moment of distraction, Yugong Liuli quickly entered combat mode, swiftly activating her level 3 support equipment, Shadow of Redemption, instantly granting both of them a blue shield.
Jump behind me!
The Exalted Emperor's voice rang out.
Yugong Liuli immediately deactivated her ultimate skill and used her second skill, "Imprisonment," to jump behind Exalted Emperor and simultaneously cast another shield.
"Hunting Time!"
Exalted Emperor Sun Quan's second skill marks the enemy, then he quickly activates his ultimate skill, fiercely waving his military flag and charging into the enemy camp. He becomes more and more ferocious as the battle progresses, as if possessed by a war god!
The five enemy players were terrified. Facing a Sun Quan who was in his prime and Daybreaker acquired the Sun Quan, they were completely powerless to resist, not to mention that they had already used up all their skills and ultimate abilities to kill Zhang Fei earlier.
This was destined to be a one-sided massacre!
The exhilarating kill announcements echoed throughout the canyon!
Sun Quan defeats Shangguan Wan'er!
Sun Quan defeats Di Renjie!
"Double-Kill!"
"Triple Kill!"
"Quadra-Kill!"
"PenTa-Kill!"
Until the overwhelmingly powerful sound of annihilation rang out.
Exalted Emperor Sun Quan, holding a battle flag, stood atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, his eyes sharp and proud, like an invincible young war god!
In an instant.
Yugong Liuli was completely stunned.
You should know that, aside from the previous Imperial Emperor, this is the first time in her life that she has been so firmly protected by her teammates!
Yugong Liuli summoned a virtual keyboard and typed, "Why did you come to save me?"
"Why?"
Su Hang laughed and joked.
"You're the vice-captain of our Sovereign Dominion!"
"Isn't it only natural for the captain to protect the vice-captain?"
Upon hearing this...
Yugong Liuli's heart trembled violently.
