"Think thrice before you act, and one good plan can be worth a thousand brave soldiers!"
His youthful voice, delivering the lines with such energy, resonated throughout the venue.
Sun Quan?
Not only the Pingzi was stunned.
Tens of thousands of Imperial Crown fans at the scene were also stunned.
"I am the most powerful! Sun Quan?"
"I remember when Exalted Emperor reached the top of the Legendary 100 Stars ranking after a perfect MVP challenge, the marksman hero he played the most was Sun Quan."
" Sun Quan has nerfed him again. Before, with the Lightning Dagger and the Doomsday, he could become powerful in the mid-game at level eight. Now, he has to wait until the marksman has the ultimate item, Daybreaker, to become powerful in the late game at level twelve."
"I'm new to King of Glory of Glory and don't understand why people say Sun Quan's power spike is at level 12?"
"Brother, that's because Sun Quan's ultimate skill has three levels: level four is a four-stage slash, level eight is a six-stage slash, and level twelve (the maximum level) is an eight-stage slash. Level twelve is where he truly shines."
"If Sun Quan chooses Exalted Emperor, he intends to drag the game into the late game. But the ideal is far from reality; the Imperial Crown will not give Exalted Emperor the opportunity to drag the game into the late game!"
In the commentary booth, Pingzi's eyes lit up as he said, "I must say, Exalted Emperor's choice of Sun Quan for the counter position was a stroke of genius. It takes advantage of the strengths of ranged attacks to compensate for the weaknesses of fixed attacks, but it will only be effective in the late game."
"Yes, that's right." Tianyun smiled and said, "This is the marksman style that Sun Quan has developed solo, following the 'Still Archer' and 'Roaming Archer' styles. It's called 'Nervous Archer,' where you have to endure the loneliness in the early and mid-game to reap the rewards in the late game."
After a long silence, Li Jiu suddenly spoke up, " Exalted Emperor, Sun Quan, must exert his strength in the mid-game before ten minutes are up, otherwise he will undoubtedly lose."
Pingzi and Tianyun asked in confusion, "A mid-game surge?"
" The Imperial Crown lineup, with Diaochan, Lian Po, and Zhao Yun, is nearly invincible in both one-on-one fights and team battles. They have a very high probability of ending the game in the mid-to-late game, around ten minutes."
Li Jiu said solemnly, "Furthermore, Imperial Crown knows that Sun Quan is a formidable force in the late game, capable of turning the tide against all odds. Therefore, Imperial Crown will definitely go all out to end the game in the mid-game."
"In conclusion, if the Exalted Emperor wants to win, they can only exert their strength in the mid-game. They can either group up and pick off the five Imperial Crown one by one, or they can team up and wipe out the five Imperial Crown in one fell swoop."
Tianyun suddenly realized.
The Pingzi frowned slightly and said, "The five emperors of the Imperial Crown have top-tier awareness, so they probably won't give Exalted Emperor a chance to pick off one of them. That means we'll only have mid-game team fights left. But the Imperial Crown has Diaochan, Zhao Yun, Lian Po, so they're in an invincible position in team fights."
"In mid-game team fights against Emperor's Might, who can Chonghuang Sun Quan actually take down?"
Li Jiu stared intently at the live stream screen, saying, "Therefore, Exalted Emperor's teammates need to make economic sacrifices to ensure that Exalted Emperor's Sun Quan can reach level twelve within ten minutes and enter his power spike ahead of time!"
At this moment, the game enters the loading screen.
Imperial Crown: Mountain Lord Lian Po ( Flash ), Silver Dragon Zhao Yun ( Smite ), Phoenix Diaochan ( Teleport ), Huranlang Li Xin ( Flash ), Yujingzi Lanling King ( Execute ).
Junyu: Mulan (Flash), Shura Tachibana Ukyo (Punishment), Zhen Ji (Flash), Sun Quan (Flash), Sang Qi (Flash)
"Welcome to Honor of Kings! The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in five seconds. Please prepare and launch a full attack!"
With the familiar game intro, the 5V5 team match began.
Su Hang upgraded his first skill, bought boots, and headed towards the bottom lane. During this time, he kept switching the economy panel on and off to maintain his hand speed.
"You can't afford any mistakes in the early stages, and you absolutely can't die, otherwise you won't be able to reach level twelve in the mid-game."
Su Hang's bloodshot eyes flashed. Imperial Crown had chosen a dual-burst lineup, aiming to end the game in the mid-game. Therefore, a massive team fight was bound to break out in the mid-game. He would only have a chance of winning if he reached level twelve.
" Lanling King hasn't been exposed; should we try to steal the little bird outside the wall?"
While Zashiki Sang Qi was pushing the lane, Su Hang Sun Quan were observing the minimap. His only task in this game was to ensure Sun Quan's early development. Even if it meant his own death, Sun Quan could not die.
" Lanling King should help Zhao Yun speed up in the jungle."
While clearing the lane, Su Hang said, "You go and pressure Li Xin's position, and at the same time, establish vision along the river. I'll handle the Falcon myself."
"OK."
Zashiki Sang Qi acted according to the order.
Li Xin, the Huranlang, has leveled up to level two and is approaching Su Hang and Sun Quan's direction, clearly intending to use his second skill's sword aura to steal the bird.
"Do you think I don't exist?"
Without hesitation, Zashiki launched his attack, gathering energy in his wooden sword to form a giant green sword. He slapped Li Xin, the Huranlang, and countless fireflies swarmed into his body, devouring a third of his health.
Su Hang and Sun Quan successfully captured the bird falcon, then used their second skill to accelerate towards the ground chicken. With the help of Zashiki Sang Qi, they captured it, and Su Hang's economy instantly jumped to first place in the game.
"If you hadn't picked Ukyo Tachibana jungler, I would have taken your red buff at level two."
" Ukyo Tachibana is my main hero. Since the enemy has given it up, how can I not take it?" Yugong Youjing cleared the red buff, leveled up to level four, and walked to the river on the bottom lane with his sword.
"The enemy Zhao Yun is ganking top with blue buff, and Li Xin is the only one left in the bottom lane. Should we dive him?"
"Is Blue starting to gank top?" Su Hang frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of the Five Imperial Crown, ganking the top lane was very likely a false vision, and their real intention was to gank the bottom lane.
Seeing that Yugong Youjing was eager to try, Su Hang didn't say anything more, "Then let's give it a try."
The second wave of minions converges on the development lane.
Huranlang Li Xin used a snake-like movement to leave the tower, using his second skill, sword energy, to scrape the minion wave, playing with extreme caution.
The Shura-style Shura Ukyo Tachibana, exploiting a blind spot, crouched in the bushes near the enemy's bottom lane tower.
Su Hang and Sun Quan quickly cleared the minion wave, and then Zashiki Sang Qi pushed forward.
Li Xin, the Huranlang, was like a frightened bird; he used his first skill to dash and retreat back to the tower.
"One combo and I'll kill you!"
Just as Yugong Youjing was about to draw his sword and strike, an exclamation mark suddenly flashed above his head. The next second, a cold and arrogant hero's voice rang out.
"The gun strikes like thunder, illuminating the very core of my being!"
Silver Dragon Zhao Yun descended from the sky, his dragon spear suddenly piercing the gaping grass where Shura Ukyo Tachibana had been hiding.
"What?"
Yugong Youjing's pupils dilated in shock, his face changing drastically. Silver Dragon Zhao Yun clearly started with Blue Buff and ganked top, so how did he suddenly appear in the Blue Buff area?
"Is the blue team's gank on top a false vision?"
Su Hang's eyes sharpened as he used Sun Quan's second skill to accelerate his retreat. A beam of Teleport light enveloped the first tower on the development lane of the Imperial Crown, revealing the Teleport Phoenix Diaochan.
"Run! We can't fight this wave!"
"I know, I know."
Yugong Youjing gritted his teeth and frantically pressed the movement skill button, but Lanling King, who had revealed his vision, marked Stun with his first and second skills, and then took a full combo from Zhao Yun with his Silver Dragon skill.
As Su Hang and Sun Quan retreated down the tower, Su Hang said, " Sang Qi, go and meet Ukyo Tachibana!"
"Don't panic, young master, I'm coming." Zashiki was extremely anxious. She used her second skill to fly into the river bush on the development lane, and through the wall, she used her first skill to hit Zhao Yun Lanling King, while simultaneously giving Ukyo Tachibana a large amount of health.
"I almost died here."
Yugong Youjing, who had survived the ordeal, had beads of sweat on his forehead. If he had died in this wave, the jungle would have been completely invaded and destroyed by the Imperial Crown.
"Don't go down the Tyrant's path!"
Su Hang's shout suddenly rang out.
Yugong Youjing shuddered. "What?"
