Chapter 340
Chapter 340
The passive situation is very obvious. The distance to the canyon is too far. Under the current circumstances, it is very likely that they will not enter the canyon with a full complement. However, when going to the mountains and volcanoes, it is not ruled out that PJT and EM who have left the ring will re-enter the ring and gain the home advantage.
Anyway, go to the canyon and give up the full staff.
If you go to the mountains or volcanoes, the probability of running into the fully-strength strong teams PJT and EM is very high.
Lin Yao asked: "This means that we might meet PJT or EM in the next game."
"Be more confident. We have about a 50% chance of encountering them." Ji Qingfeng looked at the two commanders. "We only have three stages to choose from. How about we go around and see?"
The ocean is not open, so the possibility of the remaining teams from Volcano and Mountain moving is low, but the other two strong teams are likely to go separately... No matter which one they choose, the possibility of encountering the team that also leaves the arena area is as high as 60%.
Ying Chenlin's eyes fell on the battle record. The remaining teams of Huoshan and Gaoshan must have considered observing the whereabouts of PJT or EM teams. It is very likely that these remaining teams will actively avoid them.
"There's no way to calculate this." Huo Yan said, "We only know that EM and PJT are separated, but we don't know how the other teams will be distributed. We can only keep moving forward."
"We are likely to be divided into groups." Ying Chenlin said: "We are not going to volcanoes or mountains."
When You Su heard Ying Chenlin say this, he asked, "Are you waiting for these two stadiums to be recovered?"
“Similar to forests, they have a high probability of recycling and are not necessarily full.”
Ying Chenlin knew that the remaining team must be trying to decide how to avoid the two strong teams. They could go to the volcano and the mountain, but they would disappear if they were not fully staffed within a certain time. The best way was to go to the canyon, wait for the volcano and mountain arenas to be recovered, and wait for the next arena to refresh. "With more mecha teams, the tournament committee will also add more arenas. If we go to the canyon, we will either encounter strong teams or scattered teams."
From the results table, among the 12 teams, the two teams that were completely eliminated were the Rabbit Team from the Forest Arena and the Mendong Team from the Mountain Arena.
A total of 11 mechas were eliminated in the first round of the arena. The situation in the ocean arena is currently uncertain, but the total number of mechas has been reduced from 62 by 11, leaving 51 mechas, and there are only 10 teams left. It is very likely that there will only be 3 arenas left in the later stage.
It's always passive, so it's better to wait for a better option.
It would also be good news for them if new arenas appeared on their way to the canyon.
[New Arena in Nathan Bello (Canyon)]
[Please all teams go to the arena as soon as possible. The competition committee will control the number of arenas as the number of teams decreases. ]
[The sooner you enter the ring, the more advantages you will have, please be advised. ]
When the audience outside the venue saw the scores of PJT and EM pop up, they had already looked at the battlefields on both sides. PJT and EM were able to get high scores in the battlefield. Not only did they get high scores in their home arena, but the single mechas that they separated to explore other arenas also got scores in the melee.
Mountains and volcanoes are both 60-minute limited arenas. If no one enters, the arena will disappear in 60 minutes.
The attention of Dawn's mecha warriors is all focused on the two strong teams. Judging from the current situation, the two strong teams are on the edge of the battlefield and have not completely entered the volcanoes and mountains. It seems that they are also deciding how to go to the arena.
Neither PJT nor EM teams moved, but the other remaining teams moved first. Some teams went to the canyon arena without hesitation.
Zhao Lejie asked: "The remnants will definitely not be on the same battlefield with these two teams again. I wonder what they will choose?"
"The distance is almost the same, both teams have the possibility to run." Wen Yi was also looking at the map.
The original distribution of teams in the four arenas in the first round:
Forest (rabbit4 KID6 GBK6=16)
Gaoshan (E.M5 PJT1 Noah 5 Mendong 4=15)
Ocean (E.M1 WHG6 SLY4 ROU5=16) ⊥
Volcano (PJT5 Aegis 5 Tiger 5=15)
As soon as the results table came out, the situation of the first round of mixed arena was basically clear. All the rabbit members in the forest arena were eliminated, the Mendong team in the mountain arena was eliminated, and the volcano had 1 SHIELD and 2 Tigers. The Ocean Arena has not ended yet and has not been included in the performance table, but judging from the general trend, there will be fewer and fewer remaining teams, and it will become more difficult to obtain points.
Qi Sicheng looked at the battle analysis chart, then looked at the situation inside the arena, and roughly guessed that the arena would be opened when the mecha team outside the arena reached the melee standard.
After the elimination of the Rabbit team, the area outside the arena for KID and GBK teams was vacant for a certain period of time. Judging from the situation in the arena, when the cumulative number of mecha teams outside the arena reaches 3 and meets the melee standards, the arena will be reopened, reaching 4 arenas.
"KID is also running to the canyon!" Chi Liz was slightly startled when he saw the situation in the arena. "If they rush over from this position, it will probably be late when they get there. The team from the Volcano Arena will be able to reach the canyon the fastest."
Qi Sicheng asked, "They are waiting. Is there a limit on the number of people in the Canyon Arena?"
"No, no team has entered the canyon yet, and the number has not been updated!" said Zhao Lejie.
Watching the situation in the arena from the live broadcast room, most of the remaining teams have already started to move. Except for PJT and EM, KID and GBK, the four fully staffed teams all went to the canyon at the same time. No one went to the volcano or the mountain.
"If no other teams enter Huoshan and Gaoshan, they are destined to become recycling arenas."
The commentator understood the situation immediately. The remnants could not enter. The strong team could not just defend the stage. Once the 60 minutes were up and the number of players was not enough, the stage would be recycled. Among all the stages, only the new stage, the Canyon, would not be recycled within the limited time. Therefore, KID and GBK's first choice was the Canyon. "There are still 45 minutes left! What will the other teams choose!"
[The competition in the canyon is so fierce!] 】
[KID will definitely not be able to grab it if he goes to the canyon! 】
[Not necessarily. They can also wait for the canyon to be recycled and the arena to be refreshed. 】
Seeing that no one chose the second option for Mountain and Volcano, the audience thought that the two strong teams EM and PJT would continue to wait for the new arena. However, the main force of the EM team suddenly changed direction and headed towards the Ocean Arena without hesitation.
[Why did EM go to the Ocean Arena? 】
[Have you forgotten!] There is an EM hidden in the ocean arena! 】
The live broadcast room immediately switched to the Ocean Arena to check the situation. The Ocean Arena was not far from the Mountain Arena. The EM team arrived at the Ocean Arena very quickly. As soon as they arrived at the Ocean Arena, a new message popped up in the venue -
[The total number of eliminated mechas in the Ocean Arena has reached 3, and the blockade area of the Ocean Arena has been opened! ]
Less than 2 minutes after the Ocean Arena (13/16) reminder, as soon as the Ocean Arena reached '3' mechas and was blocked, EM immediately sent 3 mechas in to fill the vacancies.
EM entered and sealed off the ocean arena again!
"The arena is blocked!" The commentator was stunned. He had never expected that EM would adopt such an attack method. They originally had an EM hidden inside for reconnaissance, and now with three more mechas going in, the number of mechas in the arena reached 4.
This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that a melee has just taken place in the ocean arena, and many mechas inside have already suffered basic damage. Even if EM has only 4 mechas, this entry is very deadly! !
[Damn, EM's command is so amazing. 】
[Enter at the right time. They are hiding and leaking information the whole time!] 】
This strategy was so shocking. EM commander must have had a backup plan when he first sent out a mech. Everyone thought they
I was just trying to gather military intelligence, but I didn't expect EM Commander to have predicted so many situations.
They probably made up their minds when they saw the public information of the forest arena. The time of leaving the arena must be a time difference with the time of leaving the ocean. There is also a PJT's hidden mecha Norbert in the mountain arena. As the home team, EM deliberately delayed the time of leaving the arena in order to ensure a perfect connection.
Inside the arena, Huo Yan and Ying Chenlin also saw the news that the ocean arena was full again.
"Which team is so fast!?" Ji Qingfeng was shocked.
"It's either EM or PJT." Ying Chenlin looked at the arena information, his eyes darkened, "Our opponent is stronger than we thought."
You Su: "The volcanoes and mountains have been evacuated."
Before others could react to EM's venue selection method, the volcano arena and the mountain arena had already popped up withdrawal and recycling reminders. Before 60 minutes had arrived, all the team mechas in the two arenas had evacuated the arenas, so the arenas were naturally not saved.
[All the arenas have been recovered!] 】
[Then a new arena will be opened!] 】
After the Volcano Arena and the Mountain Arena were recovered, the tournament committee opened the arenas very quickly. In addition to the red-locked Ocean Arena and the partially occupied Canyon Arena, a new arena appeared on the radar maps of all mecha divisions - [Snowfield][Residential Area]!
Three ocean arenas were damaged, and with only 48 Mecha Team 10 remaining, the tournament committee opened four arenas at the same time!
[There are 4 competition stages, and the competition committee is making trouble! 】
[When I first saw this mixed ring competition system, I felt that there must be something wrong! Grouping is a must! 】
[EM has been divided into four and two teams in order to enter the ocean. If the other three fully staffed teams want all their members to enter, they can only be the first to enter! 】
"Wait!" Huo Yan asked, "The Ocean Arena has 16 full seats, right? Then wouldn't the average number of people that can enter each of the remaining three arenas be around 10? "
The new news was beyond KID's expectations. They thought that as the number of mechas decreased, the number of arenas would also decrease accordingly.
Unexpectedly, the organizing committee did not reduce the number of arenas in this round. There are a total of 4 arenas, including the ocean, canyon, snowfield and residential area. KID's choice was completely passive. With only 3 arenas left to choose from, the fully staffed team will most likely be grouped unless it is the first to enter the arena!
"Yaobao! Speed up the gravity gun!" Ji Qingfeng looked towards the snowfield, "We are close to the snowfield in this direction, so let's go to the snowfield first."
Lin Yao also wanted to speed up, but the gravity reduction provided by the gravity gun for accelerating people was limited, so he could only rush forward as much as possible.
Ying Chenlin frowned slightly, his eyes stayed on the ocean arena for a moment, and then he looked at the situation of the three arenas and said decisively: "It's a bit dangerous, but if we want to win, we may have to divide into groups."
In the Nason Bello rest area, after seeing the unpredictable changes in the arena, the spectators hurriedly looked at the whereabouts of the various teams in the arena. The most popular ones were the three remaining full teams, PJT, KID and GBK.
If these three full-strength teams fail to enter the arena first, they will be dismantled!
"Will KID make it in time!?"
"It's a bit risky. A team from the mountain just headed towards the snowfield!"
"The volcano side seems to be leaning towards the canyon and residential areas."
"The remaining team ran too fast at the beginning, and there is a high possibility that they will be separated!"
"Not good." Wen Yi looked at the situation in the stadium, "People have entered the residential area and the canyon."
"KID can go to the canyon." Qi Sicheng looked at SHIELD: "SHIELD went to the canyon."
After the team entered the arena, the number of arenas corresponding to the residential area and the canyon arena immediately popped up in the arena. Excluding the 16 mechas in the ocean arena, there were only 10 teams and 32 mechas in total. The number of mechas in the residential area was limited to 11, the number of mechas in the canyon was limited to 10, and there could only be 11 mechas in the remaining snowfield area.
Entering the canyon arena is the SHIELD team, which has 4 members in total.
The team that entered the residential area arena was the GBK team, which had a total of 6 members.
At this time, the Noah team entered the snowfield area, with a total of 5 members.
The Dawn viewers who were watching the game outside never thought that watching the fight for the ring would be so tense. Seeing that all three rings were being fought over, and the other teams were just moving nearby, KID initially moved towards the canyon, but now changed his route to the closer snowfield, but the other teams were faster.
[Oh my god, KID won’t be dismantled, right? 】
[Shouldn’t it?] It mainly depends on how PJT moves. If they move right, Kid still has a chance to not be dismantled. 】
[KID can go to the canyon and the snowfield, and the entrance will be full! 】
[KID’s speed is enough to make him the second one to reach the snowfield! 】
Wen Yi looked at the others who were watching the game nervously. He glanced to the side and suddenly saw Qi Sicheng with a heavy face. "What's wrong?"
"Do you think it's a good thing to enter with a full team?" Qi Sicheng looked at the situation in the field. "The two EM teams were separated for a certain reason in order to grab the points of the Ocean Team, but separation at this stage also has its advantages... If we can divide the teams while preserving our own reputation, we won't become the target of public criticism."
Wen Yi asked Qi Sicheng: "What would you choose?"
"Grouping." Qi Sicheng said: "I am a KID who will choose the grouping."
Chi Liz said: "Dividing into groups is too risky. We may be attacked by other teams in a group."
Qi Sicheng: "But KID is not afraid, they have Huo Yan and Ji Qingfeng."
Wen Yi paused for a moment after hearing Qi Sicheng's words. When he looked back at the field, he suddenly saw that the KID team, which was about to reach the snowfield, had divided into groups of three. Not only the KID team, but also the PJT team, these two teams actually chose to fight in groups at the same time.
【How come KID and PJT broke up! ? 】
[If they don't separate, they can enter in full! How did we break up? 】
【? ? ? They could have entered with full capacity, but why didn’t they? 】
The audience outside the stadium did not know why the two teams suddenly made such a choice, but the coaches of the various teams who were talking outside the stadium had already entered into the discussion about the distribution of the four arenas.
The coaches who are good at analyzing the situation immediately knew the purpose of KID and PJT. The purpose of these two teams was to grab points. At this stage of the competition, it is not impossible to enter with a full team, but entering with a full team will easily become the target of public criticism.
Zhao Lejie asked: "What are they going to do?"
"You can't enter with full members at this stage. Entering with full members means a 1:1 attrition match between one team and another, or a full team against two remnant teams at the same time." Qi Sicheng continued, "In this case, the arena must lose members before it can be released. In a one-on-one match, you may face the risk of losing full members. If a full team faces two remnant teams, the two remnant teams will definitely join forces to deal with the full team first."
With the number of mechas limited in this way, it is impossible for two strong teams to fight against the remnants.
Either a strong team fights against a strong team with full strength, or a team with remaining strength joins forces to fight a strong team.
The most important point is that entering with a full staff is bound to have high consumption, and it is not easy to grab points in the current state.
Other teams with low points are currently considering improving their rankings, but PJT and KID's scores are very close, and they have a chance to compete for first place. Regardless of whether they know that it is EM team entering the ocean arena, they now want to widen the gap. The best way is to get more points and minimize losses, so that they will have a chance to compete with EM in the later stage. ◤
"Under such circumstances, at this stage when we have a relative advantage and there are still many teams, grouping is actually a better choice." Qi Sicheng looked at the arena. "Captain PJT was lurking in the mountains before, and now he probably knows that EM has gone to the ocean. It's not surprising that they took the initiative to group to grab points, but with Ying Chenlin's way of thinking, he is considering how to get the most points."
The mid-way grouping of PJT and KID disrupted the speculation of many spectators outside the stadium. However, the arena was occupied very quickly. As long as it was not immediately full, the arena would not be blocked immediately. Each team was cautious and would send two or more mechas to enter at the same time to test before each entry to ensure the remaining number of mechas in the arena.
KID was the second to arrive at the snowfield and entered three mechas, while the remaining three mechas maintained their original route towards the canyon.
The PJT was divided into groups midway and headed in two directions, one to the snowfield and the other to the residential area. By the time all the arenas were divided into groups, even the commentator didn't expect that the final result would be like this.
The proactive grouping of KID and PJT brought about dramatic changes in the three arenas.
Canyon: SHIELD (4 units), KID (3 units), Tiger (3 units), a total of 10 units.
Residential area: GBK (6 units), EM (2 units), PJT (3 units), a total of 11 units.
Snowfield: Noah (5 units), KID (3 units), PJT (3 units), a total of 11 units.
There was a commotion in the live broadcast room, but the three arenas in the venue had been completely blocked off. Red light had enveloped the blocked areas, and the redefinition of the four arenas made everyone's attention fall on the top three teams currently ranked.
In KID's live broadcast room, because KID was divided into two groups, the perspective in the live broadcast room was switched to two sides. One side was the canyon group of Luxi, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao, and the other side was the snowfield group of Huo Yan, Ying Chenlin and You Su.
[The Shura level of these three battlefields at the moment, the residential area and the snowfield are simply like a fight between gods! 】
[There are relatively no particularly strong teams in the canyon. KID and SHIELD are both from the first star domain, but the Snowfield group is difficult. Noah and PJT are both from the second star domain. 】
In the live broadcast room, after the blockade, the three mechas of the Canyon Group immediately took action. The audience saw that after KID stole into the canyon, he copied the appearance of some huge trees in the canyon gaps without hesitation. These trees were thick, and in the canyon gorges covered with green plants, KID stole and turned into a tree and took his teammates to hide in the surrounding environment. At a glance, only dense trees could be seen, and it was difficult to see the KID mecha hiding inside.
The three mechas did not rush to the center of the canyon arena. They chose a position in the gorge and did not move.
【KID, why don’t you keep moving forward? 】
[The canyon is a really good place for KID to hide. 】
"KID's grouping method doesn't include any commanders from the canyon." Zhao Lejie couldn't help but ask, "Will this work?"
Qi Sicheng didn't say anything, his focus was on the battlefields on both sides. KID must have a reason for grouping the teams like this. Instead of paying attention to the relatively relaxed Canyon Group, his attention was all on the Snowfield Group.
There is no other reason. The Noah team of the Snowfield Group was originally in the Alpine Arena. They did not lose any members when they were on the same battlefield with EM, which led to the elimination of all members of the Alpine Arena from the Mendong team. This team was previously ranked eighth in the Star Alliance, but after the new competition system came into effect this year, they also became the third-ranked team in the second star field. In terms of their overall performance in the first and second stages of the Star Alliance competition, their strength is no less than that of CEF4, which is ranked sixth.
"The Noah team is very good at defense, and its strength may be similar to that of SHIELD." Qi Sicheng looked at the three PJT mechas assigned to the snowfield battle, "The most worrying thing is that PJT captain Norbert is also in the snowfield group. Their lineup is hidden medical control, and Norbert is well aware of the Noah team's combat readiness."
While the two were talking, Team Noah had already arrived at the widest grassland in the snowfield arena. The entire snowfield was covered in white. Any non-stealth mecha that appeared in this area would be clearly visible and there would be no place to hide. For a team like Noah that was good at frontal defense, the Snowfield Team brought them more than one advantage.
The most important thing is that the area chosen by Noah Team in the first stage of the competition is the snowfield.
"We can see that Team Noah has arrived at the JU-44 area of the snowfield, which is the snowfield plain area. It is currently snowing lightly in the snowfield, but the snow is not heavy and does not affect the overall vision of the snowfield." The commentator continued, "One-third of the area circled at the location of the snowfield arena is the JU-44 area. For Noah, this area has a great advantage."
After the Noah team arrived at the JU-44 area, the three PJT mechas also arrived at the area silently.
The three mechas of PJT were hiding secretly behind a snow slope somewhere in the snowfield. The three mechas kept a certain distance and observed the Noah mechas in front of them. In their public information, the weapons information of the Noah team was clearly displayed on the internal system of PJT. This was the information obtained by their captain Norbert when he was undercover in the high mountain arena.
The PJT medical and control staff did not speak, waiting quietly for instructions from their captain Norbert.
"The five-man team is Noah, so there are three mechas left." Norbert's eyes fell on the Noah team in the distance, and his peripheral vision swept around, "Do you think we will meet KID?"
Before the PJT mecha master could answer, Norbert suddenly said with certainty: "I think we have met KID."
PJT Mecha Master: “…”
【Won’t PJT take the initiative? 】
[I definitely won’t take the initiative, KID hasn’t come out yet! 】
[Oh yeah, where is KID?] No KID signal on radar. 】
Mervyn remembered the KID tank's weapon and said, "The KID tank has a strange white fog shield that can block signals. We need to open a global perspective."
The live broadcast room saw that two teams had already arrived on the snowfield, and they switched their perspectives to look at KID on the other side. As soon as they switched, they saw that KID was also on the snowfield, and they arrived at the snowfield one step earlier than PJT.
At the highest point of the snowy hillside, a vast white fog spread on the slightly raised hillside, almost blending in with the entire snowfield. The KID tank was located in the middle of the white fog, and its open energy shield completely blocked the signals of their three mechas.
Among them, KID Medical was lying on the ground, touching the ice, not knowing what he was doing.
In this white fog, the rapid-attack cannon in KID's gunner's hand had already been charged. Under the protection of the shield, the full energy was not leaked out at all. However, the audience's attention was involuntarily attracted to KID's medical mecha standing on the side of the tank. What he held in his hand was not the Green Energy Gun that had shined in the forest arena, nor the Deepwater Artillery cannon he had used before.
The mechanical body presents a perfect arc shape, with no energy-storing muzzle or sharp blade at the end of the arc.
Mervyn paused: "Bow shape."
"What kind of weapon is this?" The commentator took a quick look, and before he could see it clearly, he saw a straight arc with a deep golden light suddenly appear at the end of the strange weapon.
The location where the bow is pointed is exactly where the PJT team is located in the field.
The author has something to say:
The previous group analysis is a bit long, but it must be written QAQ.
There will be an additional update, probably tomorrow at noon, so I won’t stay up late at night.
