Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

"Are you ready?" Arthur took a deep breath and looked at Merlin and Vivian.

"I can't wait any longer." Vivian took a deep breath and twisted her wrist: "I want to teach them a lesson!"

"Don't be impulsive, Vivian. Please follow my instructions, okay?" Merlin asked helplessly and cautiously.

Weiwei pursed her lips: "I know, I know. I'll listen to you this time. You have to buy me delicious food later, okay..."

"Don't worry." Merlin smiled and looked at the Chinese national team's preparation bench where all the players had returned.

I don't know what kind of lineup they will use in this game...

Hopefully, there won't be any particularly unexpected lineups.

Merlin was a little worried.

"Okay, welcome back to the first Glory World Invitational, the semi-finals, the third overtime game, the second round of the doubles match!
Previously, our Chinese national team won the tournament with a score of 3 to 2. If we continue like this, we will get the last ticket to the next round.

Of course, the England national team should not be underestimated. Let's first take a look at the lineup that the England national team has chosen to play in the second round of the competition...

The swordsman character, Vivian, who is a magic swordsman, cooperates with the mage character, Merlin, who is an elemental mage!

According to reliable sources, these two are also a couple in private, so there should be no need to question their tacit understanding, and Merlin is also an excellent tactician. "Pan Lin's commentary sounded, which also meant that this game officially entered the preparatory stage.

"Melee protection and ranged harassment are both handled by Vivian, while Merlin should be responsible for burst damage. This is a very good tactical match." Li Yibo also nodded: "Then, let's see who our Chinese team will send out...

Mage, magic scholar, operator of Wangbuliuxing [Magician] Wang Jiexi! And...

Eh? Swordsman, Berserker class, the operator of Sleep for Another Summer, Sun Zheping? "

This is, what to do?
Wait, they don't want to...

"The magic scholar is also known as the 'ammunition expert' of the mage department. Magic powder and various flasks can produce similar effects to the ammunition expert, but without the smoke cover." Guo Mingyu held his chin and looked at Wang Jiexi and Sun Zheping sitting in the competition seat and explained to the confused Chen Guo: "In this game, because Zhang Jiale was too exhausted in the last game and couldn't play, did you use this doubles lineup?"

"Is this... possible? Is there any lower-level replacement?" Chen Guo scratched his head and asked uncertainly.

Guo Mingyu didn't say anything because he wasn't quite sure.

But if one is Wang Jiexi and the other is Sun Zheping... maybe there should be no problem?

……

"Cunning tactical masters." Lu Liang curled his lips and said disdainfully.

Bai Shu and Chu Xiong looked at Lu Liang with curiosity. Even Qiu Fei looked at Lu Liang seriously: "What do you mean, Brother Lu? Where is the cunning in you?"

"I suggest you read this and don't listen to this old guy's useless talk." Old Wei yawned.

"Heh, that's because you didn't see their sinister intentions. They tied Wang Dayan and Dasun together and threw them up there, just to make me stop cursing Wang Jiexi and cheer him on wholeheartedly." Lu Liang curled his lips.

Hey, Boss Wei was actually right this time!
Lin Jingyan shook his head in annoyance and amusement: "Come on, everyone has enough cheers and boos from you. By the way, didn't you say you'd retire? Haven't you written off the grudges with Wang Jiexi?"

“How is that possible? Didn’t you see that this guy is the most enthusiastic every time he plays against the Herb Hall of Tiny Herb?” Old Wei curled his lips: “However, this method should be the most suitable choice after Lele can’t play…”

"And their goal is not just to defeat the opponent. This arrangement is indeed the best choice at the moment." Wu Xuefeng behind him seemed to have realized something and said to his daughter in his arms with a smile.

Hmm? Not only...

The Embers Team members in the front row were all stunned when they received the hint. After thinking for a moment, they all showed a look of sudden realization.

"I see..."

……

"Cooperation between the magic scholar and the mad swordsman?" Fang Shiqian thought for a moment, it seems that it is feasible?
The Tiny Herb team also had a magic scholar and a mad swordsman. Although Liang Fang certainly couldn't keep up with Jie Xi's movements, there was still Ying Jie...

This one is definitely worth splitting up.

I don’t know, what is the effect?
Hiss, but why did they arrange it this way? Is there any other purpose?

Fang Shiqian pondered silently.

Although he was not as good as Wu Xuefeng in tactics, and was not reminded by others like the Embers team, Fang Shiqian still noticed something with his keen sense.

Surely, there are other intentions.

In fact, the intention is very simple...

"In the first round, I'll assist, and then it'll be our turn after one minute," Sun Zheping said.

"No problem, Senior Sun." Wang Jiexi smiled.

The intention is really simple. Whether it is Sun Zheping or Wang Jiexi, they can both assist and attack.

Output consumes the most energy for players. If they take on output for the entire game, they need to rest for at least one to two days to ensure that they are fully recovered.

But if two people take turns, the damage will be minimized.

Ultimately, it’s because of the rotation problem.

For the Chinese team, throughout the World Invitational Tournament, the enemies they have to face are never just the opponents on the stage. Their biggest opponent is themselves.

You need to defeat your opponent, but you also need to defeat yourself and defeat... time.

The combination of Wang Jiexi and Sun Zheping can not only achieve the lower-level combination of Flowers and Blood Scenery, but also reduce consumption to a minimum and prepare for the next game. All tactics cannot only be aimed at attacking the opponent. More importantly, the most important thing is to maintain the state and prepare for tomorrow!

If I could win...

"That should be what they think." Merlin explained his understanding to his girlfriend: "I think even if there is a deviation, it won't be very big. That's what they think."

"Ahhh, these guys on the Chinese team are so annoying!" Vivian was a little mad after hearing this: "We are all tacticians, how can't you come up with such disgusting...interesting ideas!"

"There's nothing we can do about this..." Merlin said with a wry smile.

Maybe this is due to cultural differences such as region?
China has a history of about 5,000 years. As early as the first 2,500 years ago, China began to use military tactics in wars.

Sun Tzu's Art of War, Thirty-Six Stratagems... In modern times, there is also the sixteen-character motto of the Chinese ancestor...

And most of these things can be applied to the glory tactics!
While others are still competing in operations, the opponents have already started to play military tactics. Moreover, the cost of learning is very high. The context will be distorted after translation from Chinese. It is not realistic to ask tacticians to learn the most difficult language. They can only watch others use it and then complain that their ancestors did not leave these good things to them.

While Merlin was feeling sorry for himself, the game began.

[Barren Valley Shattered Plains]!
A map with cover...

But what can we do about it?

The sprint collision was activated, and the flexible micro-maneuver continuously bypassed the cover and rushed towards the opponent.

And above, Wang Buluixing has begun to take off!
"Advancing in turns... Haha, I thought they were going to do something with this tactic, but it turns out it's just to save some energy. Can't these uncles play a full game?" The American team player, who had finished all the potato chips and started eating popcorn, laughed.

"Shut up, these two players are very strong. If they were younger, you would never be their opponent." The young man who was eating bubble gum sneered: "If they were all 21 or 22 years old, there would be no need to hold this world invitational tournament."

Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, his face a little embarrassed, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He was no match for this guy. In the American team where strength was paramount, he had no right to speak against the opponent.

"Save your energy. Maybe we will meet them in the next game." A young man who had just arrived and was not sitting here said with a smile, wearing a fisherman's hat: "Sorry, I was a little confused on the road of life just now..."

"So, you are simply lost, right?" The chewing gum man didn't give him any face and spoke carelessly.

“Ah, don’t be so blunt…” The young man scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Did I allow you to laugh, weakling?" The captain of the American team looked at the little fat man who laughed in confusion.

……

The fat boy's face turned completely ugly, but the others didn't care at all.

Their relationship was not as harmonious as it seemed.

The law of the jungle is the truth they believe in.

"How is the situation now?"

"The England team is a little bit inferior. The game has just started and the result is unclear... From what you said just now, you are more optimistic about the Chinese team?"

"Well, the members of the Huaxia team are all excellent. They always come up with some small tricks to make up for their original shortcomings. This is a very smart approach. There are no weak people among smart people." The captain smiled and said, "It's a pity that we can't compete with them at their peak..."

"That mechanic seems to be a sharpshooter. How do you feel about him?"

"Four six, I'm six."

"Where's the swordsman?"

"It depends. If it's bad, it's four or six. If it's good, it's three or seven. I'm in first place."

"Where's the sharpshooter?"

"Four six."

He made a blunt comment, with a cheerful smile on his face that never changed from beginning to end: "In the team competition, if no one is dragging their feet, we can just clear the field in one round. After the second round, we can collect the prizes and go home."

"As you wish."

……

"I always feel very uncomfortable, as if someone is saying bad things about us behind our backs, and it's the kind of thing that's said very seriously, making me feel slippery and disgusting." Huang Shaotian shuddered.

"Put on your coat, the temperature inside the venue is a bit cold." Yu Wenzhou reminded.

"Ah, it's not cold, it's just a bit disgusting... forget it, it's even more disgusting than eating steamed buns and finding out they are filled with okra." Huang Shaotian sighed.

"So this is really not the beginning of your plan to discredit Captain Wang, right?" Fang Rui asked with some doubt.

"...I'm really happy that you think of me that way, but it's really not the case this time." Huang Shaotian shook his head: "Although that guy is annoying, it shouldn't be a problem to cooperate with Sun Zheping to defeat those two guys."

Maybe sometimes your enemy is much more confident in you than you are.

He always attacks his enemies from many aspects, but never attacks them based on their strength, nor will he allow others to attack him.

It's probably like, he's someone I recognize, I think he's on par with me, and you say he's a loser, doesn't that mean I'm also a loser? Like that?
"I feel like they may not say anything good when they are watching from below." Wang Jiexi said with a smile.

"Yeah, especially Huang Shaotian." Sun Zheping smiled: "And Lu Liang."

"It seems like my popularity is pretty bad." Wang Jiexi gave a helpless smile.

"If you can't meet my requirements, I will soon become one of your unpopular people." Sun Zhe said calmly: "Start, count down."

Without any more extra words, he swung the Scarlet Queen in his hand and it collided with the dagger on the opposite side.

"Retreat, Vivian. Your main goal is to guard against the magic scholars above." Merlin reminded calmly: "Be obedient."

"Tsk, I get it, I'll just give him a try!" He turned flexibly, and then slashed out with a series of instant wave sword strikes, and then he retreated instantly and continuously, raised the sword, and began to release the wave array without any scruples.

Sun Zheping did not consider continuing to press forward. Merlin was already standing behind the magic swordsman, ready to counterattack at any time. He must not rush forward to attack until the opponent's full concentration was forced out, or the rain he wanted began to fall from the sky.

"Didn't you say that I would be the main attacker in the first round?" Wang Jiexi asked with a smile.

"This is not an attack, just a small test." Sun Zheping said coldly: "The state of the magic swordsman has not been greatly affected. It should be about 80% to 90% of the peak level..."

“I still don’t know if the other team will play in the competition…” Wang Jiexi said with a smile.

Sun Zheping did not comment: "The probability of not playing at this time is still quite high, let's start..."

"Well, let's give it a try. Is the bloody scene of Canhua enough to defeat the opponent?" He swooped down and the prepared flask flew out of his hand.

Just as Sun Zheping said, the probing is over and the attack begins. (End of this chapter)
