Chapter 347: Stupid Miss Yun

~7 min read 1,348 words

"Beep, beep, beep."

A slight sound came from the Radar; within the detection range, enemy activity units were successfully detected.

Brenna took a quick glance; although the field of vision was black, dozens of red dots were marked on the ground, moving rapidly toward her base.

It seemed that the player Bear Claw did not intend to let her develop peacefully.

Because she had built the Radar first, her Tank Factory had not yet finished construction at this moment.

And the opponent had clearly built a Tank Factory first; there would certainly be Flash Silver Tanks in the attacking force.

She only had a few Executors and two Combat Bunkers at her base; even just holding the only entrance to the high ground was not easy.

But it didn't matter!

Because as early as when she built the Radar first, she had already anticipated this scene.

【Laser Tower construction complete!】

Beside the slope at the entrance of the high ground, Brenna controlled a Repairer to build a Laser Tower there.

And relying on this Laser Tower, as well as the Executors guarding the slope and the Combat Bunkers, it was more than enough to block this attack from Bear Claw.

However, her economy was not very good right now; she needed to replenish Mining Vehicles as soon as possible.

Thinking this, she had the Repairer that had just finished building the Laser Tower turn to construct a new Ore Refinery.

At the same time, Bear Claw's attacking force had already arrived in front of Brenna's base.

The opponent had the Executors walk in front to soak up damage, while the Flash Silver Tanks used their range to continuously attack the two Bunkers at the entrance.

However, a pale blue halo ran from the base of the Laser Tower all the way to the top, and then with a "hum," it shot onto one of Bear Claw's Flash Silver Tanks!

"Bang!"

The scorching ray instantly pierced the armor of the Flash Silver Tank; with just one hit, a Flash Silver Tank was scrapped on the spot!

Normally, for a Laser Tower to attack a Flash Silver Tank, it would require two attacks.

But Brenna had equipped the Laser Tower with the skill 【Armor Penetration】, which could ignore 35% of an armored unit's armor, just enough to kill a Flash Silver Tank in one hit.

This was a skill she had specifically configured for her late-game playstyle, mainly to hold off the opponent's rush when she was relatively weak in the early game.

Faced with the Laser Tower picking them off one by one, Bear Claw could only control his troops to retreat.

There was no help for it; Brenna's Laser Tower was built on the high ground, and before charging up the high ground, it was impossible for him to hit that Laser Tower.

But since he couldn't hit it, he wouldn't fight.

Brenna only had that little bit of Mining Field at her spawn point; it wouldn't be long before the ore veins at her base would be exhausted.

He only needed to suppress Brenna on that small patch of high ground so she couldn't get out, and he would win!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, one of Bear Claw's Flash Silver Tanks exploded again.

And a Flash Silver Fighter, silver-white all over, was slowly returning to base in the sky.

Without a doubt, it was this thing that had just blown up his Flash Silver Tank.

"Damn it."

Bear Claw couldn't help but curse; in order to finish off Brenna as quickly as possible in the early game, he had set out without bringing any anti-air units.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel some regret.

Damn it, it's all the map's fault; if that high ground didn't exist, he couldn't help but think in his heart.

Among the skills Bear Claw carried, the health and attack power of the Executors were both enhanced; if not for that high ground, he believed he definitely could have broken in. Besides that, there was also that Hacker, who had also equipped a skill.

That was, when successfully stealing the opponent's building, one could also incidentally obtain the skills carried by the opponent's building.

As a result, because of that high ground, it caused his Hacker to fail the theft as well.

Damn it, damn it, if only he could have switched to a different map! "Whoosh!"

Brenna didn't know what Bear Claw was thinking; she controlled the Flash Silver Fighter to return home to replenish ammunition, then took off again to destroy the opponent's few remaining Flash Silver Fighters.

Then, taking the Executors and the newly built Flash Silver Tanks, she drove out from the high ground and used the Repairer to open up a new Mining Field outside.

"It's already over." Sitting in the preparation area, Yun Mu shook her head after seeing this.

Bear Claw's strategy actually had problems from the very beginning.

Faced with a player like Brenna who was as steady as Mount Tai, the correct approach was actually not a quick, aggressive punch of mass-producing units.

It was to steal! As the saying goes, stealing beats steady, steady beats reckless, and reckless beats stealing.

If she were Xiongzhua, when she realized the opponent was going to play like a turtle during the scouting phase.

She would have directly controlled the Repairers to frantically build Mining Fields.

And look at what kind of map this is.

Actually, playing a rush is perfectly fine, but that depends on the map.

On a map where the spawn point is on high ground, which is very suitable for the defender, whoever attacks is at a disadvantage.

To still operate according to the original quick-attack mindset is simply too stupid.

And in order to pursue speed, not many Mining Vehicles were built; since this wave of attacks didn't succeed, he was already completely at a disadvantage.

When the skill levels are similar, the side that lags behind in development has absolutely no possibility of winning.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, thanks to the advantage gained in the early game and after Brenna obtained an overwhelming advantage in the number of Mining Fields.

She directly built the high-level building 【Combat Laboratory】, then researched the technology 【Shanyin Cruise Ship】, and combined with land units, destroyed all of Xiongzhua's production buildings in one wave.

【Combat Laboratory (High-level): After construction, Resource Points can be spent to conduct research, enhancing the attributes of any unit or building; in addition, high-level or ultimate mechanical units and buildings can also be researched.】 (Cost: 2000)

【Shanyin Cruise Ship (High-level): Armor is extremely heavy, a powerful unit capable of both air and ground attacks, with fast movement speed and strong firepower; it is the top-tier aerial warship within the Old Legion!】 (Cost: 2500)

"Oh my god, the Shanyin Cruise Ship is tanking tons of damage while tearing open the high-ground defense for the land units below; the Flash Silver Tanks have charged onto the high ground!"

"Player Xiongzhua has been directly crushed by the steel torrent of Metal Gear; let us congratulate Metal Gear!"

On the commentary stage, the male commentator roared with a flushed face.

Although it doesn't look very professional, the enthusiasm for the competition is still worth affirming.

Yun Mu nodded in agreement, then saw that Brenna, whose match had already ended, was walking toward her.

"Congratulations." She stood up with a smile and applauded to welcome her.

"It was a breeze." Brenna responded with a smile, simultaneously extending her right hand to make a victory gesture.

"Come to think of it, isn't it best-of-five?" Pulling Brenna's hand to sit down, Yun Mu asked with some confusion.

"You idiot, Miss Yun." Hearing her words, Brenna was somewhat speechless.

The other party rolled her eyes at her: "It's only best-of-five during the finals; this is just a challenge match."

"Among the more than two thousand five hundred contestants, anyone not in the top ten of the leaderboard can challenge once."

"If this were also best-of-five, wouldn't it take a whole week to finish?"
