Before the start of the game, Cardino's inner sadness was exactly the same as that of the flower blowing back then.
-beat? It seems that I can't beat it.
—Admit defeat? I have already stood on this field, and if I admit defeat, I feel sorry for myself, the audience, and the coach...
After much deliberation, let's fight.
—I heard that the player Odin would leave a little bit of dignity to the opponent, but he has never dealt with the enemy in less than 20 seconds...
But whether the audience can tell at a glance that "you were put in the water for 20 seconds" depends on the player's own ability.
Cardino felt that he was rather spineless, and before he started fighting, he was already thinking about things like "it's great that the opponent will put water for 20 seconds".
This is the third round of the group stage, and it is also the penultimate round, which determines the four-to-two match.
However, the current top four players have basically entered the second half of the provincial competition, so there is no need to worry too much. This has led many players to choose to retain their strength after confirming that they have qualified, and not to use their own skills and trump cards in this kind of competition, so as not to be caught by potential opponents.
This is what Cardino thinks in his heart: I will use a little bit of strength, but I can't reveal my hole cards... I think it will not be easy to win the opponent, and it is better to stay in the final than to expose all the holes and still lose, or just win miserably. above against others. So the problem in this game is that the loss should not be too ugly...
After he made up his mind, a random map came out: classic trains.
This picture basically shows players fighting on a moving train. The speed of the train is about 200km/h. For these two thin-skinned assassins, this means that they cannot fall off the train. If they stumble, they will die directly. .
The train consists of five carriages, the last two carriages are filled with coal, and the first three carriages have passenger seats, corridors and a ceiling where people can stand.
Generally speaking, the map is relatively narrow and there is not much space.
The commentator commented at the time: "For the two assassin classes, there is neither enough concealment nor enough room to hide—basically, this is a situation of 'the brave wins when a narrow road meets'."
The audience all said: "It's rare to see a duel between two assassins, and it's still a frontal picture!"
"I don't know who can seize the opportunity to ambush at the beginning."
"I bet fourth master!"
"Don't make trouble! Who doesn't know that Cardinal is the most fierce master of stealth in the Lyra, and Odin may not be able to see through it."
"I bet Odin... doesn't sneak at all..."
The thirty-second countdown begins immediately.
Tai Lun's figure appeared directly on the roof of the train, while Cardinal stood on the roof of the last coal carriage, and the two looked at each other not too far apart.
Cardinal was a little apprehensive, thinking: Why is it a positive picture...
He had just memorized all the spaces in this train, and the countdown was almost over.
The game starts.
Cardinal entered the stealth state without saying a word.
Narrator: "As an Assassin player known for stealth and one-hit kills, Cardino doesn't seem to have any plans to change his tactics against his peers. Let's take a look at another player... huh?"
Contrary to Cardinal, Tyron didn't even have the slightest intention of ambush, let alone stealth.
After the opening scene, he calmly walked back from the roof of the train, and when he reached the second passenger car, he jumped down, kicked the door of the car with his long legs, and fell into it steadily.
The carriages are much narrower than the ceiling, and most of them are private rooms where people can sit, while the corridors outside the private rooms can only allow two people to pass face to face.
Tai Lun calmly stood inside.
Cardino is embarrassed - he is still in a stealth state, what is the most important thing in stealth? It was unexpected!
Tyron was sitting on the sidelines in such a narrow corridor, and Cardino could only attack from two sides. No matter which side, he felt that it was unlikely that he would be able to sneak attack him at Tyron's level...
But the game still has to be played, the difference is just admitting defeat and trying to win.
Tyron's dagger hadn't been drawn yet. Because the action of drawing out his short sword can also cause a large amount of damage, so he sometimes chooses not to draw his sword before a particularly short contact battle (especially a contact battle with a melee profession).
He was playing with his dagger with his left hand, forehand and backhand, looking back and forth at the sharp blade like this, as if he didn't care that another assassin was secretly trying to take his life.
In the third second of the opening, Tai Lun's eyes moved, and suddenly fell on the long and narrow aisle in front of him.
A small voice sounded there.
Under the hood, the corners of Tai Lun's mouth curled up slightly, but he stood still and waited calmly, the dagger slowly hanging behind him.
Suddenly, there was a slight "click" on the wooden boards in the corridor in front of Tyron—
Almost at the same time, Tai Lun's dark golden eyes were already hidden in the shadow of the cloak, and the dagger in his hand drew a perfectly curved white light!
Chance!
Cardinal was overjoyed, and his figure suddenly appeared!
His figure was not in the corridor at all, but appeared outside the carriage, waiting quietly with his hands on the window.
Hitting east and west... what is waiting is the enemy's momentary distraction.
At this time, he smashed the glass of the car with his knee, and his whole body emerged from the invisible state, and the two daggers stabbed Tyron fiercely like fangs!
But at the next moment, Cardinal was shocked to find that Tyronn's dagger did not stop for a moment after slicing through the arc, and turned around three hundred degrees gracefully, directly facing his own dagger!
"… snort."
Tai Lun let out a faint chuckle, which seemed to be an affirmation of the younger generation.
When his dagger made two crisp sounds of "ding ding" to divert Cardino's approaching force away, causing him to roll into the interior of the carriage; his short sword was out of its sheath!
Cardinal had already retracted in mid-air, and after landing, he stood up extremely quickly and crossed his daggers—
But still not fast enough!
When he crossed his dagger, the short sword Triumph had already been retracted into its sheath!
There was already a thin line of blood in Cardinal's throat.
And Tai Lun lifted his foot very accurately, kicked him on the crossed double blades, and immediately kicked him to the other end of the corridor.
Cardinal jumped up without hesitation, jumped directly from the end of the corridor to the ceiling, and disappeared from Tyron's sight again.
The first round of confrontation just now, even in terms of two assassins fighting, was considered extremely fast.
It wasn't until Cardino disappeared again that the male commentator was able to take a breath, escaped from the rapid commentary speed, and concluded: "Kardino suffered a small loss, but as long as he ambushed again, this loss can still be recovered of."
The female commentator said: "I don't quite understand why the player Odin let him go. Judging from his attack and movement speed, it seems that he should have a chance to pursue him just now..."
In fact, the male commentator didn't see the way, but he thought: Maybe Odin is already sure of victory, so he let the water go without a trace
Nowhere is this more clear than in the heart of the person involved.
At this moment, Cardinal's heart: Mom, he looks down on me! He actually had the opportunity to slash me with a knife and kicked me instead of slashing me! Fortunately, I rolled fast, otherwise maybe the kick was not on the knife, but on my ass...
Tyronn's heart: Another brat playing around in front of me...
This kind of trick, master assassins have been tired of playing for hundreds of years.
Cardino was very dissatisfied and felt that it was time to play the next routine.
This time, he ambushed in the next carriage, waited for his stealth skill to cool down, and quietly entered the corridor of the carriage where Tyron was.
As he walked, he made noise along his path.
Commentary: "Oh! What is false is true, what is true is false. Is Cardino playing a routine?"
If another person was on the field, it would probably be thought that Cardinal had once again played "sound east and west", but he would not notice the path that made the sound.
However, what he unfortunately faced was the patriarch among the assassins.
Tai Lun still stood indifferently and waited in the same place, the aura of disregarding everything clearly expressed: Come on, don't make me wait for you.
In just a short corridor, Cardinal walked for about three seconds.
When he was within 1.5 meters of Tai Lun, in order to prevent the stealth from being seen through directly, he used his own displacement skills and rushed straight in front of Tai Lun!
Such a technique, in the view of the commentator and the audience, is more than enough to be used to get close to the enemy.
But in the eyes of Tai Lun, who plays flashing as a warm-up exercise, it's too young!
At the moment Cardino ended his invisibility and revealed his figure, Tai Lun didn't dodge or avoid, but met him head-on!
He started later, but miraculously came from behind and passed Cardinal sideways in an instant.
Cardino's attack did not fail, but it landed on Tyron's hilt with a "dang"—and at this moment, Tyron borrowed Cardino's strength, quickly drew his sword, and cut off Cardino's 20 % of health.
Cardino had the ability to fight back, but he lost his balance at the critical moment!
Because while Tyron was attacking, he still had enough strength to make a wrong step, which just happened to intercept Cardinal's necessary path to maintain his body's center of gravity—then he made a reckless hook, which in turn tripped Cardinal to the ground!
Cardinal had never been interrupted by someone in the middle of a skill release, so he was caught off guard and rolled on the spot, leaving Tyron's melee attack range in a bit of embarrassment.
At this moment, everyone on and off the stage exclaimed "Wow": Odin's hook showed his high-speed judgment ability and physical flexibility with ease.
In such a short period of time, he can instantly find the weakness of Cardino's displacement skills, and perform double attacks at the same time!
And Victor, who was sitting in the first row, was stunned for a second and then realized: Tai Lun's move just now was exactly the same as the one when he was taught to learn flashing. A seemingly casual step forced the opponent to lose his center of gravity. .
At that time, Victor even stole a kiss, and he joked with a smile: "Is this going the way of the enemy, so that the enemy has nowhere to go?"
Now on the court, this ability is simply too bullying!
It's fine that fourth master has one of the best moving skills himself, and no one else is allowed to use other moving skills!
Cardino always felt that he was jumping in front of the old boss, no matter how he jumped, he couldn't escape the kick of the boss anyway...
He has never been so resembling the ancient tragic assassin of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold".
