TEAM Valor's strategy was very simple. Two of their teams would scout the village to search for the location of the bandit leader, while the other three would try to capture the watchtowers.
In the battle arena version of Arcadia Cup, there would be a crystal in each area that had to be captured. Taking this crystal would an that the team had captured the area. This was to prevent the opposing team from capturing the area back. Doing this would also prevent a prolong match.
But capturing these areas was not really the most important goal in a battle arena match like this. It was to complete the task that would give them the most points and end the ga. Which, in this case, was defeating the bandit leader. But since they couldn't just go around the village without a proper destination, it's better to split up and have one group look for the bandit leader's location.
They picked the two who were the best in tracking, and the rest of them went to capture the watchtowers. The mont their teammates found the bandit leader, they would teleport to their location imdiately.
The captain of team Valor was in the group that would capture one of the watchtowers. Honestly speaking, despite the encouragent he gave his team, he was feeling pretty nervous himself.
Even if people say that team Yunyue were now nothing but 'fallen champions', one couldn't neglect the fact that three of their current mbers were still miles stronger individually that any mber of team Valor. If the other team couldn't win by strategy, they might as well win by force.
That's why he wanted to finish things quickly by finding the bandit leader and defeating them.
He and his two other team mbers were on their way to the watchtower located in the West part of the village, which was the closest one to their initial location. As they made their way there, they encountered a lot of bandits. Which they easily took care of.
Arriving at the watchtower, there were more bandits than expected. Not only that, there was a slightly bigger bandit standing in the middle. The other was most likely the guardian guarding the watchtower.
"Captain, go on ahead and look for the crystal. We'll hold back the bandits here."
"That's right, Captain."
His two team mates said.
The Captain also had the sa idea, so he readily agreed. "Be careful of any surprise attacks."
Although the three of them agreed to that, the Captain felt that it's still his responsibility to at least open up the way so his teammates could attack more easily.
He rushed out from where they were hiding and quickly drew his sword. He used a skill that produced a huge horizontal slash. The mont he did, so of the bandits were hit and the others were pushed back. That was enough ti for his teammates to do follow up attacks and for him to jump to the watchtower.
But before he could, he felt a tight grip on his ankle. He looked down and saw that the bandit, with a much larger build than the rest, caught him as he jumped. He didn't hesitate and slashed down his sword. The mont the bandit let go of his ankle, he stepped on the other's face and used that montum to jump higher.
Just as he landed on the top platform of the watchtower, they heard a huge explosion from the east direction. As soon as that happened, an announcent appeared in front of him.
[Team Yunyue has captured the East watchtower!]
Before he could react to that sudden announcent, another one appeared right after.
[Team Yunyue has captured the South watchtower!]
"Does this even make sense?" he couldn't help but blurt out.
But being the captain of the ga, he forced himself to calm down and instead began looking for the crystal. It didn't take long before he found it. Which was not hard, since it was just literally lying there.
The mont he picked it up, the sa announcent appeared.
[Team Valor has captured the West watchtower!]
Before the captain of team Valor could celebrate this small win, he heard a thud from behind. He looked back and his eyes slightly widened when he saw a huge man with lion ears on top of his head.
White Marsh looked at him and then groaned after seeing the announcent. "Shit. I was late. I will never hear the end of this."
Seeing White Marsh here, and after hearing what he said, the captain already had an idea of how team Yunyue managed to capture two watchtowers almost at the sa ti. Because they all separated and most likely went to each watchtower to capture it.
After that realization, he felt amazed, and also, at the sa ti, ridiculous. It was amazing that team Yunyue had so much confidence in their individual skills to attempt sothing like this. And then, right after, he wondered if the other team just couldn't be bothered to think of a solid strategy and just decided to use 'force'.
His thoughts were cut off when he saw White Marsh brandishing his claws towards him. He dodged out of reflex. But as soon as he did, he felt his side being hit by the other's leg, which he didn't even notice that he extended.
This kick pushed him off the watchtower. He flipped mid-air so he could land properly. But before his feet even reached the ground, the big lion was already about to attack him again.
The team Valor's captain gritted his teeth and then brandished his sword. He used a mid-air slash to push back White Marsh. But the other faced the attack head on and just punched through it.
The captain finally landed and was about to attack while White Marsh still hadn't reached him when another announcent appeared.
[Team Yunyue has captured the North watchtower!]
The captain wanted to curse, but soone else did it before him.
"Shit," White Marsh cursed loudly as he landed, then he looked at the captain with gleaming eyes. "You're the captain, right?"
