Chapter 456: Let Them Go

Ben's intention to lean against the wall was obvious; he knew Condi had no eyes left on his body, so he intended to use his flesh as eyes, letting Condi's Mang Seng feel over with a Golden Bell Shield.

But Condi did not withdraw immediately.

"Wow, Condi has guts, still wanting to hard eat it?!"

Mang Seng endured Lu Lu's harassment, used Punishment to kill the big Stone Armor Beetle, and only then did a Golden Bell Shield touch Karma's body.

Ben could be called a conscientious support; he stubbornly stood by the wall for two seconds, only hurrying to run after Condi felt over.

However, two seconds was enough for Syndra, with movement speed over 300, to walk nearly 700 yards, entering the casting range of the vast majority of abilities.

Syndra's combo was precise and smooth; she grabbed a ball prepared in advance from behind and threw it, then Weakness Retreat pushed forward, exactly knocking out the two WE jungle supports.

"Marquis pushed accurately! One Weakness Retreat knocked out two people!"

"Moreover, Sima Laozei has cleared the minion wave and is now flanking together with Lu Lu!"

The WE jungle support was blocked by three VG players behind the dragon pit, facing enemies on both sides.

The good news is that Syndra hasn't reached level 6 yet, and Marquis hasn't gone back to buy items, so his burst is much lower and he still lacks a full combo to instantly kill someone; otherwise, Karma, who is only level four for Ben (higher than the female sniper...), would probably already be down.

But the bad news is that Karma has no displacement ability, the Explosive Fruit was also used by himself; moreover, Condi's W skill was also just used.

In dire straits, Ben made a swift decision, walked to the wall and flashed straight into the dragon pit; after going down he didn't forget to turn back and give Condi a shield, truly a fine support for the people.

Condi hesitated a moment, but in the end could only follow with a flash to escape.

Seeing the two exchange flashes, Marquis no longer intended to chase, turned around preparing to return to mid lane, but at the edge of his vision he saw Sima Laozei actually still running this way.

Hmm?

Easyhoon froze for a moment, still not understanding what Sima Laozei was trying to do.

Immediately after, Liang Yan's voice came through the headset:

"Forget it, forget it, Ma Ge, don't chase!"

"Not chase?"

"No chase, no chase, we'll let them go!"

"Oh."

Sima Laozei then brought Xiao Duan back to the bottom lane; afterwards, Easyhoon faintly felt as if he heard Liang Yan sigh in relief, though he wasn't sure if it was an illusion.

A few seconds later, Easyhoon reflected and suddenly grasped the meaning of the earlier conversation between the two bottom laners, instantly feeling a tingling on his scalp.

Good grief, could our AD have been thinking of flashing down to chase someone?!

emmm!

All that can be said……Ma Ge is awesome!

However, coming back to the point, Easyhoon thought: if Liang Yan hadn't stopped Sima Laozei, and then he himself had flashed down with Sima Laozei, and Xiao Duan had flashed along too, could this wave have possibly killed the two enemies?

While thinking, a few signal pings pulled Easyhoon's attention back; he instinctively glanced at the minimap and saw Liang Yan had marked the river several times.

Liang Yan also reminded over the mic:

"Marquis, be careful heading back; the clockwork Mang Seng might be lurking for you."

Easyhoon instantly sobered up, feeling uneasy about his rash thought just then—what to chase, Xi Ye is certainly not the kind of earth-binding demon that cancels accounts!

"Thanks, I know."

Easyhoon sincerely thanked. A few seconds later, he suddenly began to apologize:

"Sorry, I was a bit distracted just now."

"Oh, it's fine."

Liang Yan smiled lightly.

It was precisely because he noticed Marquis zoning out that he sent those signals.

After all, given Marquis's caution, he would normally never take the path behind the dragon pit back to mid lane in such a situation.

Of course, his reminder also saved Easyhoon's life, a fact provable by the god's-eye view commentary and the audience.

"Xi Ye and Condi were hiding in the river hoping to snipe, but uh~ Marquis suddenly turned a corner and didn't go this way!"

"That sense of smell is really sharp."

"If Marquis gets caught and killed this wave, the impact would still be significant; Syndra is about to hit level 6, and dying suddenly before her power spike really hurts the tempo."

"Jiao Shen cleared a wave and leveled up to four, then ran down again! The Stone Armor Beetle is gone—Condi stole the big one, teammates helped clean up the little leftovers—what's he doing now? Is he going to gank Mystic again?"

"This is targeting WE's bottom lane."

"Both members of WE's bottom lane lack flash, and although Jiao Shen also lacks flash, he has a very long-range engage skill, so there still feels like a chance!"

"Mystic just stepped out, his health is full—exactly when his vigilance is at its lowest!"

"But Condi's sense of smell is pretty good! He knows it's unsafe for Mystic to guard the tower alone, so he went out and followed the support down!"

Actually Condi isn't that team-oriented; when he heads out again downwards, it's mainly because the monsters in the lower half are about to respawn, while the upper half still has the first wave of monsters—whether experience or gold gain, it's far behind the second wave of monsters set to respawn in the lower half.

Moreover, Condi is a bit unwilling to accept defeat, wanting to get up right where he falls.

In that earlier exchange, Condi used flash but only got a big Stone Armor Beetle in return—this result is definitely a huge loss; anyway, playing like this makes it impossible to catch up by farming jungle, so he needs to get some nourishment from the VG duo!

But Liang Yan had also anticipated this.

"Condi might come down; Ma Ge, don't rush too hard later, leave some room."

"Then I'll keep my flash."

"Being cowardly is out of the question; keeping one flash is already Sima Laozei's utmost caution."

The minion line is pushing forward, the clash point hasn't crossed the river midline; even if one tried to flank from behind, it's possible, but the Triangular Grass surely has vision wards left by Karma earlier, so Liang Yan simply came from in front of the tower to behind the duo, hugging the wall and sneaking into the side grass to hide.

At this moment, the WE bottom lane has only Mystic visible; Ben's Karma is estimated to have already passed the second tower.

Liang Yan originally planned to strike when the WE duo regrouped—that's when Mystic's vigilance is most relaxed, and landing a good kill on two wouldn't be a problem.

But when he saw Mystic directly retreating, Liang Yan knew Mystic was intending to push the lane to give Condi a chance to flank; truly, if one waited until the minion line reached the enemy tower, the enemy's 3v3 advantage with their back to the turret would be too great, and VG could not possibly win.

Liang Yan made a quick decision and shouted:

No more waiting, let's attack!
