Chapter 307
Chapter 307
Kanaya had a very frustrating game in this match. They wanted to test KID's weapons, and KID did not hide them in the early stage. For example, they were chasing Yao's gravity gun and space stick, Lucy's flying flower cannon and spider silk cannon, and even sink's deep water cannon and karma cannon. Most of the weapons KID took out were weapons that had been recorded in their files.
They were aware of the effects of the weapons recorded in these materials, and had some corresponding strategies, until their plans were completely disrupted by the explosion of the building. They knew about the weapons, but the results of using these weapons were completely different from the intelligence they had. ◣
How many new weapons did KID get, and are their coordinates hidden? Explosive trap? Control machinery?
It was a test, but KID was creating smoke and fog, and conducting bombing missions. They almost lost their own people's cover vision. It was difficult to obtain intelligence information about who controlled these weapons in a short period of time.
When the Kanaya tank rushed towards KID Hide, he was using the long-range control cannon to test and attack Qingf in the early stage, worried that the opponent would use the illusion ball to confuse his vision. The tank followed very closely throughout the whole process, which resulted in that when KID Hide turned around to fight him 1v1, he was already out of touch with his teammates for a distance.
Kanaya Tank: “……?”
KID concealed his voice and took out the Black Wind Scimitar with a smile.
Kanaya Tank: "Commander, they didn't bring the illusion ball, but they brought two knives."
Kanaya commanded: “?”
The two mechas fought at a location outside the support range of the main battlefield. KID hid and kept a distance to ensure that the tanks had no one to support them, and recreated the fighting style when fighting with the CEF4 tank. Kanaya's tank speed is not as good as KID's stealth, so it can only retreat step by step during the fight with him, delaying time with the main purpose of defense.
[Tank is so stupid, he's giving away points. 】
[I feel that Kanaya’s level is not very high. 】
[This is not high enough. Didn’t you see that their scores stabilized in the second half? 】
"Tanks are the best solution for many mech divisions. There is no problem for the Canaya team to use tanks to block Qingf. It can reduce the pressure on Canaya to the greatest extent and also hold back KID's high-attack mech..." Although the commentator couldn't bear to watch Canaya's miserable state, he still analyzed the situation and said, "It's a pity that they encountered KID and a rare shield-piercing mech."
Outside the stadium, the head coaches of each team were still observing the details of the game.
To some extent, if tanks can restrain concealment, they will choose to let tanks go.
If it were other mechas, KID Stealth would also have another high-attack scimitar to use. Apart from tanks, the best choice would be long-range guns and artillery... But in a smoky battlefield, the marking ability of guns and artillery is not as good as that of melee tanks.
"Will this kind of shield penetration be the mainstream stealth in the future?" Aegis's candidate mecha master looked at the coach: "High-attack weapons against shields are indeed a difficult point for us Aegis."
"Shield-piercing Hidden is not completely without disadvantages. Their advantage is that they have an attack weapon that can ignore the tank's defensive weapons, but in fact the tank's own defensive attributes are still there. Hidden attacks on tanks only destroy the tank's shield. The original approach of the CEF4 tank was very good. The best way to deal with shield-piercing Hidden is to fight them and disrupt their offensive rhythm... Another thing is to maintain the linkage of the team and never lose touch."
The reason why CEF4 and Kanaya Tank failed was not that they could not beat the hidden, but that they took KID's hidden away from the team in order to limit the hidden.
This is almost fatal to a stealth player who needs team support, but for KID, he would rather fight 1v1 with others.
"It's correct to choose to take Qingf away, because Qingf doesn't have a control weapon, and this attack flow of hidden has no self-protection ability. Taking him away can control and delay alone, which is very important for the team." The head coach of SHIELD is very familiar with the fighting styles of various tank-type mechas. "If it's Team Wu, she will give up defense and fight Qingf head-on. Tanks have low attack but high defense, and hidden has low defense but high attack. The advantages between the two sides all lie in the mecha master's micro-operation."
-
In the arena, Kanaya reacted to the initial impact and quickly adjusted his strategy, focusing on attacking KID's guard Yao, adjusting the mid-range and long-range auxiliary control, and leaving the smoke and minefield.
And KID seemed to have seen through their movements, as most of the mechas in the second half were circling around KIDyao to conduct defensive attacks.
From the outside, Kanaya was indeed being one-sidedly suppressed by KID. Not only did he not show his full strength, but his overall behavior seemed particularly stupid. However, if you put yourself in KID's shoes and think about what he did from the beginning,
In terms of the overall situation, they do have a huge first-mover advantage.
First, the collision of water and fire produced smoke, and KID tank yan shifted its coordinates to become an anchor point to launch a large-scale attack in the fog. Later, it turned to use the pre-ambushed mechanical spider silk to attack, one after another. There was nothing wrong with the methods adopted by Kanaya. The biggest problem was that they were preempted by KID. Even if they adjusted quickly, KID had already opened up a huge advantage.
If there had been long battles for several consecutive days, Kanaya would have been able to react and adjust. They had controlled the trend of losing points in the second half. However, they had suffered a lot of losses in the first half due to the influence of KID. They stabilized the rhythm in the second half, and it would take time to regain the advantage.
But in this competition system, the two teams only have 7 hours to fight.
Gaining the rhythm advantage in the first half basically ensures a high score... and after two battles, KID adapted to this rhythm very quickly. He gave up half an hour of rest time in order to gain the rhythm advantage in the first half with Kanaya.
Head coach of SHIELD: "Although this match was played at a low level, KID has already figured out the key points of the 7-hour quick battle. The purpose of this Star Alliance Tournament is not to eliminate people, but how to use the advantages to get the most points within 7 hours."
In the competition venue, Kanaya's point loss rate slowed down. When it lasted until 6 hours, Kanaya had not yet grabbed Lin Yao's points. Their own controlled mecha accidentally entered the encirclement area in front and behind KID and was hit to 30% of the points again. KID got another point.
On the other side of the battlefield, the level of the Kanayan tank was not as good as the CEF4 tank. Compared with the CEF4 tank that fought back and forth with Ji Qingfeng, the Kanayan tank only defended and did not attack to delay time, fighting while running, and also lost a point in Ji Qingfeng's hands.
With only one hour left, all the players of Kanaya switched to defense and did not allow KID to score any more points, with the final score being 4:0.
As the champion, KID fought two consecutive games and scored 4 points each time, and once again won the right to be the champion.
【KID4 got a share of the spoils.】 】
[Kanaya regained his rhythm in the second half, but lost too many points at the beginning. 】
[With KID's style of play, it's already very good that Kanaya can get back on track. 】
A dark horse team that has never participated in the Star Alliance competition, in just two rounds of fast-paced games, first competed head-on with CEF4 to seize the rhythm and win, and then used tactics to crush Kanaya.
The Star Alliance Tournament spectators reacted after 15 hours of continuous time. When KID ranked first in the Star Alliance Tournament points list with an 8-point advantage, the spectators could not help but look sideways. Now, two rounds of competitions have been held in the 10 regions. The points announced without the competition venues will be delayed. The spectators outside the venues can already see the total points results of the first two rounds of competitions in the 10 regions.
The First Star Region, which had always been the last among the five star regions, was actually at the top of the list after two rounds of competition. The team that contributed the most points was the KID team from the residential area, which scored 8 points in two rounds, giving the First Star Region a huge advantage in the total score.
More and more viewers flocked to KID’s live broadcast room. As soon as they entered, they saw KID, who had obtained the right to choose, was selecting the champion for the third round of the competition.
[KID's cumulative wear and tear in the two games averaged 30% for each mecha, but they only lost one point. 】
[The wear and tear is relatively healthy. They may be able to continue taking turns! 】
[Three rounds in a row?] 】
"The rotation system requires points, which means the more games you play, the more points you get." The commentator continued, "The more rounds KID team persists in fighting, the more fighting space other teams will have. This is the right of the champion to choose. With the advantage of the champion, you have the right to decide."
Soon, the selection interface popped up in the arena, and KID, as the winner, once again got the right to choose the champion.
Just when everyone thought that KID, whose health was depleted, would choose to continue fighting, a completely opposite choice popped up in the arena. KID, as the champion, chose to rest, and the championship was transferred to the losing team, Kanaya Team.
[Let’s challenge now!] ? 】
【KID can continue laying mines to trap another group! 】
The audience didn't quite understand KID's choice, and KID, who scored 8 points in a row, had already flown to the jump zone and exited, jumping to a specific base station in the residential area to repair his mecha.
When KID arrived at the maintenance point, he did not see the mechas of other teams. The game perspective in KID's maintenance point was only from KID's perspective. They had no idea about the situation of the mechas of the other two teams in the residential area.
The competition committee separated the maintenance points of multiple teams, and each team has a limited number of maintenance technicians. After finishing their round of competition, all mechas can be sent to the maintenance point for repair, and the mecha technicians also have a short rest time.
After arriving at the maintenance area, all of KID's mechas were handed over to the maintenance technician stationed at KID's base, who repaired the damage. When Shen Xingtang came over with the report, Ying Chenlin was discussing the tactics for the second half with Huo Yan and others.
"Your wear and tear is not high. 30% can be repaired to less than 10% in about 7 hours. Why don't you continue to fight another round?" Shen Xingtang put the maintenance report on the table next to Ying Chenlin. She knew Ying Chenlin's estimated maintenance time for KID's mecha.
"We are not sure about our opponents. It is too risky to play another round. We should stabilize the first game first." Huo Yan and Ying Chenlin had discussed this before. There are five teams in the residential area, namely Team A, Team B, Team CEF4, Team C, Team Kannaya. They have no idea who the remaining two teams are. "If we play another round and encounter a strong team, causing heavy losses, our remaining repair time will be too tight."
The order of each round of the game is progressive. If KID plays against Team D, the next round will be Team E, and the next round will be KID again.
If D is a strong team, their consumption may reach more than 50% uncontrollably. If they leave the field again, there will be less than 8 hours left for repairs before it is their turn again.
The best approach is to play it safe, retreat after defeating Team C’s Kanaya, and observe an entire round before moving on to the next big game.
On the table was the on-site data that KID had obtained after two games. When Huo Yan was selecting the area, Ying Chenlin was looking at the weapon list on the data board and thinking. Shen Xingtang glanced to the side and found that You Su did not go to rest, but stood next to Ying Chenlin.
You Su lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on the data board in the boy's hand. On it were the various tactics and weapon options that Jiang Simiao had listed for them before entering the arena. The boy was adjusting a few of the weapons, "Are you planning to change to medical weapons?"
Ying Chenlin was stunned, then raised his head to meet You Su's gaze.
He moved the data tablet to the side so that You Su could see clearly what was on it.
"I have a bad feeling. From a tactical point of view, fast attack is a good choice. We should try to choose weapons with strong combat power." Ying Chenlin looked at the remaining arrangements. After their round, they will face the champion of the previous round. If they win, they will meet CEF4 again. "CEF4 and Kannaya know the general situation of our weapons. Under normal circumstances, they will make targeted adjustments."
You Su noticed that Ying Chenlin's eyes stopped on a certain weapon, "It's useless to keep the weapon. This game is based on a points system. The more points you have, the better. You can change your tactics."
"Doesn't that mean they'll come after me next time?" Lin Yao was shocked.
Ji Qingfeng: "That's a problem too. It's easier against an unfamiliar team, but if it's just these two, there won't be any tanks that I can trick. Maybe they can even use my scimitar to restrain me."
This is the advantage of the strong Star Alliance team. They can change weapons once per round, and they can also guess the opponents in the round through the game and use different weapons according to different opponents, thereby increasing their probability of getting more points.
The competition rule book only states that the competition schedule will not exceed 7 days, but due to different schedules and combat situations, the entire game will enter a very limited combat zone. The continuous battles will cause damage to the mechas, the mental power consumption of the mecha operators, the choice of weapon replacements... and the most important point is energy.
The mecha can be repaired, but the energy in the first stage is limited and cannot be increased during repair.
"Strong teams do have many opportunities to change weapons. They will change and take strategic weapons, but they will not change the main weapons." You Su said in a light tone: "But compared with the restraint between teams, new weapons may not be as easy to use as old weapons. You should save your combat power for the later stage. It is better to master the combat rhythm as soon as possible..."
He was halfway through his words when he noticed that the boy who was originally looking at the weapons was staring at him intently.
The lounge was silent, and the others were also looking at You Su.
"You talk a lot today." Ying Chenlin said.
You Su laughed: "You still dislike it, don't like to hear it?"
Ying Chenlin: "But what you said makes sense."
He added: "If you like, you can say more."
Ji Qingfeng: "It's over, Brother You has already started to provide tactical advice, and my mind is blank."
Lin Yao: "I don't have any tactics, am I just eating for free in the team?"
Shen Xingtang was watching from the side, amused by these funny guys, and slapped the data tablet in his hand on Lin Yao's head, "You should find the way first, I don't need you to provide tactics yet."
She remembered that You Su was also in the border army special training camp before, and she had heard that in that kind of competition, the combat readiness advantage was particularly obvious, and there were many arrogant mecha divisions. You Su did not participate in many mecha leagues and was banned in the end, but in other respects, he had a solid foundation in the Border Army Special Training Camp.
"Having more combat readiness is one thing, but those in the border troops have more combat readiness, and not many people actually change their weapons."
You Suo explained a little more: "Especially for attack-type mecha masters, they have very high requirements for weapons and the probability of changing them is not high. If you are worried, you can use a style with the highest error tolerance."
He looked at the weapon that Ying Chenlin had been staring at, and tapped on the data board: "Here, this is what you are looking at."
Ying Chenlin looked at that place, at the weapon, and also at You Su's hand.
The break time passed quickly, and when KID handed the discussed tactical weapons to the maintenance team for replacement, the off-site competition committee staff came to inform them to get ready, as it was their turn soon.
KID and his group hurriedly boarded the mecha and entered the jump state.
As soon as they entered the mecha, they saw a countdown above the match information, which read [Nason Bello Residential District (4): vs ]. They hadn’t been in the mecha for long when the information started to count down again, with the number jumping from 4 to 5.
The competition has entered the fifth round, and the competition committee has reminded everyone that the countdown for the mecha's jump has begun.
A selection of jump coordinates within the arena area popped up in front of KID and the crowd. The organizers provided a total of 8 jump location options, and KID needed to select and enter the coordinates before jumping.
"Is this a random choice?" Lin Yao asked.
Huo Yan explained: "It doesn't make any difference when it comes to choosing a position. We don't know where our opponents are."
Ji Qingfeng: "Choose whatever you want, Shen Lin, why don't you come?"
Ying Chenlin was still looking at the competition information. When Ji Qingfeng mentioned it, he explained in confusion: "I have bad luck."
"There's no such thing as good or bad luck. It doesn't matter where we choose. I have a feeling we can pick a good spot."
Ji Qingfeng urged: "Hurry up, the competition committee is urging us."
Ying Chenlin randomly selected a coordinate point.
KID and the others were ready for the jump. When they jumped into the competition area, Ying Chenlin suddenly noticed that the red circle surrounding their competition area had expanded a little, indicating that the battlefield of the entire arena area had become a little wider.
Huo Yan suddenly said: "Look at the battle record."
Ying Chenlin came back to his senses when Huo Yan reminded him, and everything stopped when he reached the battle record table.
There is no other statistical information on the performance, only the results of the past four residential area games.
There are 5 residential groups in total
There are three teams. In Ying Chenlin’s original speculation list, the first three teams were KID, CEF4 and Kanaya. This is a known range, and now that 4 games have ended and more than 31 hours have passed, the results of the 5 teams in the first round have been announced on the battlefield.
Ranked first is KID. They scored 4 points against CEF4 and 4 points against Kanaya, and are in first place with an 8-point advantage.
The second one is SLY——
[Residential Area·Team SLY, points 4]
"Fuck, besides CEF4, there's also SLY!" Ji Qingfeng was dumbfounded when he saw the results table, "The residential area group is too Shura-wait, then our opponent could be???"
Luxi reminded quietly: "There seems to be movement in the southeast corner."
The residential area was filled with smoke. When all the mecha operators of KID entered the area, a suspended light red mecha in the distance swept towards them. Almost at the moment their vision met, a huge iron hammer fell from the air. The fierce wind from the hammer completely separated Ying Chenlin and Lu Xi, who were originally on the scouting position.
An arrogant yet playful voice appeared on the external speaker channel.
"Long time no see, kid." Alice pulled up the giant hammer from the ruins and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Ying Chenlin stabilized the aircraft while dodging rapidly, and a cycle emerged in his mind.
Team E, SLY.
