Chapter 87: Crushing Everything! No Tower Is Safe Under Him

"What the hell, solo killed again? I feel like Ruican's mental state is about to collapse!" Jie Jie, who was still taking the dragon, looked astonished.

"Master Ye, you're being a bit too heavy-handed~~"

The timing of the Emperor's move was instantaneous; everyone was still talking about paying attention to the enemy's bottom lane while taking the small dragon, so no one had their camera on the mid lane.

"I really wanted to go back to base this time, but Ruican wouldn't let me, so I couldn't help it." Ye Bo shrugged, summarizing the sequence of events in one sentence.

"But in that case, I feel like we can speed up our offensive tempo even more this game."

The atmosphere in the BLG voice chat was somewhat heavy.

The reason was that the mid laner had started panting violently ten seconds ago, and everyone was even worried that the other party might suffer from cerebral hypoxia due to being too agitated.

Scout was still constantly shifting his posture and rubbing his back to relieve the itching caused by his body overheating.

It was just that with these two actions combined, at a glance on camera, it looked like he was about to mutate.

"What's going on, junior? Your Emperor usually doesn't even die once in a game, right?" Uzi, hearing the second piece of bad news from the mid lane so quickly, felt puzzled.

He hadn't switched his screen to look just now.

However, the jungler had witnessed the whole thing.

Although Weiwei didn't know the details of Akshan's operation, just seeing Akshan swinging from thin air, he knew there were only two possibilities for this play.

Either the Emperor had made a huge mistake.

Or the Emperor had been outplayed into stupidity.

But then again, Weiwei and Scout were kindred spirits, as if they were destined teammates, so he took the initiative to shoulder the blame and explain for him.

"This one was on me; the mid laner really had a chance to solo kill."

"The luck this time really wasn't very good!"

Uzi pursed his upper lip.

What the hell kind of "luck wasn't very good."

I feel like my luck isn't very good either!

When Uzi first heard the news that the EDG mid laner was going to be poached, he almost jumped up on the spot with joy.

After Ye Bo joined EDG, the improvement in the bottom lane's gaming experience was visible to everyone; it was definitely to a degree that every ADC would covet.

Uzi even felt that after he arrived, even his Draven could start getting kills!

As a result, he only heard clearly that the person coming was Scout.

He now just wanted to play the subsequent matches well, at least to prepare in advance for his "sword-pointing" goal for next year.

"Come gank bottom, their bottom lane is playing very aggressively, there's a chance." Uzi took the initiative to make a request.

As one of the AD players who most liked to participate in team command decisions, he habitually remote-controlled the jungler to support the bottom lane.

"Hey, hey, okay." Weiwei had been preparing to farm toward the top half of the map, but hearing this, he immediately paused his steps to prepare to change direction.

In fact, in this game, if one were to discuss the best gank position for Trundle, it really was the bottom lane.

Because of Kalista's special hero mechanism, reducing movement speed in most cases is equivalent to reducing attack speed, and Trundle's long-range ice pillar was very restrictive to Kalista.

But at this moment, a voice also came from the top lane, Bin.

"I feel like the enemy mid-jungle might dive me, can you counter-gank?"

The enemy mid-jungle had disappeared from the map, and Gangplank had clearly smelled the scent of danger.

"Uh..." Weiwei was somewhat hesitant.

"Hey, then they might also dive bottom; Tahm Kench is also their opportunity before level six. I feel like they might be doing a four-man dive!" Hearing this, Uzi felt as if he had been suddenly reminded.

"Kalista just solo-ate two waves of experience, she'll hit level six relatively quickly; it's best to kill her once early." Liu Qingsong echoed.

Weiwei felt that made sense too.

But just at this time, ghost-like wailing came from the mid lane again.

"Axi!! What are they doing!"

"Weiwei!"

Switching the screen to look, one could see Volibear walking out from between the mid lane's first and second towers.

The respawned Emperor was walking to lane on foot, only to be blocked in the middle by these two physically standing in his way!

The most critical thing was that Volibear was already level six.

At the same moment, having received three instructions from three directions, Trundle's figure visibly paused on the spot.

No, are you treating me like a 'Three-Body' person or what!

However, when everyone switched their screens to see this scene in the mid lane, they all knew what was more important and naturally understood that he could only go to the mid lane to defend.

The Emperor was already in a disastrous situation; if he let the enemy mid-jungle cut off two more waves of minions, he could really go find the referee to ask for his phone back.

"It's over, the mid lane has been torn open!" Xika let out a howl.

"Ye Wen has started setting up a checkpoint in the mid lane; Scout has to show his passport if he wants to pass!"

"For these two minutes that the Emperor has no ultimate, he must keep the jungler hostage; Trundle doesn't dare to stay too far from the mid lane, otherwise Akshan and Volibear will dive your Emperor's tower with their eyes closed!"

Sun Yalong feigned anxiety: "Where are the teammates, where are the teammates! Hurry up and save him!"

The netizens in the live stream saw this outrageous scene, and the "troll" squad expressed their various opinions in the bullet comments.

[Don't eat! Don't eat!]

[My god, I only know that people often do this in the top and bottom lanes, but you can actually do it in the mid lane too!]

[Dao Chu, please don't feed anymore, just wait for me to carry, okay!]

[Damn it, is Dao Chu intentionally raising a daddy? There's a traitor! He's planning to host Uzi's third retirement ceremony!]

[Third time? Shouldn't it be the second time if he retires again? Where would a third time come from?]

[Once in 10/20, once officially, this would be the third time if it happens again; this is our King of Three Retirements!]

[This guy Dao Chu looks like he's full of rebellion; he's picking up the stinky meat that even EDG didn't want, it's really disgusting. I think he might just screw over BLG again during this season's transfer period!]

The imbalance in the mid lane began to affect the overall situation.

Volibear and Akshan's tower-diving ability was too strong.

One ultimate can [disable] the defensive tower for 3 seconds, and one can provide a safety net for teammates to revive.

This mid-jungle combination was simply a combined tank; Akshan was the cannon barrel, and Volibear was the bullet-ignoring chassis, capable of directly crushing through the tower's protection!

And when the mid-jungle duo saw the enemy jungler rushing over, they didn't linger, having already caused the Emperor to lose nearly half of his tower minions.

The two of them swaggered right in front of him into the enemy's top jungle.

BLG's mid lane was already a huge hole; they had no qualifications to fight in that half of the map and could only avoid fighting.

And just as the secondary commentators said, Trundle didn't dare to head toward the bottom lane to gank at this moment, not daring to stay too far from the mid lane.

He was afraid the enemy would make a sudden return!

At the very least, only after the Emperor's ultimate was off cooldown and he regained the opportunity to operate his own self-preservation under the tower could the jungler be freed.

"Bin, back off. Their mid-jungle might stop by to gank you on the way; we can't go up there..." Weiwei said helplessly.

"I'm just going to run away like this!?" Bin's expression was extremely stifled.

Gangplank versus Gnar was considered a slight counter.

But relying on his proficiency with the champion, which was clearly ahead of Flandre's, he hadn't been pressured by a single minion count in the top lane laning phase until now!

The reason Gangplank was annoying was that he was a hero with no offensive pressure, while also possessing a map-wide support skill.

As long as you didn't suppress Gangplank, you were at a disadvantage.

But after being stifled, Bin also knew clearly that if these two really came to dive the tower, he would absolutely have no power to fight back.

Gangplank could only be forced to retreat to the "autistic bush" in front of the second tower, watching the demise of a wave of minions and the loss of plating, his heart bleeding.

Equally unhappy was the bottom lane.

Uzi had wanted Weiwei to come gank bottom, believing that their bottom lane combination still had a chance to fight the enemy before level six.

But now, with the situation in the mid lane, he couldn't say much more.

Watching the two people in the enemy bottom lane showing off, as if they knew Trundle didn't dare to come, and constantly pressing arrogantly in front of the tower, he felt even more furious.

Uzi was very anxious, feeling the gun barrel was hot.

"Siaoshao, can you try to engage? There's no one in the bottom lane right now, Kalista is really about to hit six!"

"We can really fight if we engage on Renata now!"

"I know, I'm watching."

Because of that roam, Renata had been swapped, and she was still a few minions away from level five, but the experience she missed out on was all on Kalista, so she hadn't actually lost any.

But because of this.

It resulted in a bottom lane that should have been equal, but at this moment, it had reversed into a situation of 4+5 versus double 5!

Liu Qingsong also knew this was an opportunity.

This BLG bottom lane combination, when cooperating with Uzi, actually had a lot of desire to lane; this could be seen from the {Hail of Blades} that Tahm Kench was carrying this game.

They weren't the type to be content with being complete utility tools; this was also the players' style.

The minion wave was pushed into the tower, and the EDG bottom duo walked up arrogantly again, wanting to hit the plating.

Liu Qingsong found an angle and marked a signal.

"Uzi! This minion!"

Senna immediately understood, and a piercing Q skill [Piercing Darkness] shot through the front-row minions.

Killing a half-health minion in front of Renata, while also grazing her with a shot!

The slow effect of Q was applied, and Tahm Kench saved his Q skill to directly initiate with W [Abyssal Dive], aiming at the spot half a step behind her to predict her movement, and successfully knocked her up in coordination with the slow!

Senna steadily followed up with the delayed crowd control of her W.

Tahm Kench then used Hail of Blades to quickly land three auto-attacks, licking Renata wildly with his tongue, saving his Q to prepare to complete the super-long control chain, while simultaneously applying Exhaust to Kalista for an all-in.

Clearly, Renata Glasc has been hit by full crowd control in this position and is already struggling to escape.

There is just one small problem.

As Meiko, who is also skilled at laning, why would he stand in this "foot-revealing" position that is actually quite obvious for a turret dive?

There is clearly only one answer.

The Sentinel lurking behind takes off his hood, revealing his true form from the dark shadows, and unleashes a boomerang followed by two auto-attacks!

"Holy crap! Why is Akshan here! Didn't they say he went top!?" Uzi, emotionally agitated, instantly enters the Huang Wen state.

"I'm coming! I'm rushing, I'm closing in!" Knowing he had been tricked, Weiwei hurriedly set off in a panic.

Akshan had indeed been seen walking toward the top side of the map with Volibear earlier.

But the true advantage of this hero remains the ability to stay invisible by hugging walls throughout his roaming.

The nickname "Male Version of Evelynn" didn't come from nowhere!

The EDG bot lane had actually baited two openings, originally just intending to lure the opponents out to trade some health to facilitate Akshan's gank.

They just didn't expect the opponents to endure the first wave, only to actively deliver themselves to their door this time!

The BLG bot lane had exhausted all their moves; although they successfully brought Renata Glasc to low health, it was obvious that she hadn't even cast her W yet, so she wasn't afraid at all.

Renata Glasc uses Hostile Takeover to pull Tahm Kench back; Tahm Kench is surrounded and beaten by the three, and the moment he is freed from crowd control, he decisively flashes into the turret.

"Go, go, go! The ADC tanks, we have double revives!"

Renata Glasc's health is not healthy enough to take many hits.

The reason Kalista was chosen to tank instead of Akshan is that even if they end up trading kills, they still have Akshan's revive as a safety net!

Viper takes the lead, throwing spears into the turret and outputting crazy damage against the toad that has already been turned into a pincushion.

The toad's two-layer health bar mechanism, combined with Senna's composition and farming as the ADC, is indeed very tanky.

But even so, it seems he still cannot hold up in front of Akshan!

Akshan, whose items are somewhat exaggerated, has arrows that sink almost entirely into the toad's skin with every shot!

Kalista tanks the turret until she is low on health, then retreats outside the turret, pulling her spears from the edge to bring the toad to a sliver of health.

Viper isn't greedy for the kill, letting the turret "kill" him and entering a near-death state.

Ye Bo stops attacking in tacit understanding, waiting until the turret shot is fired before killing the toad, allowing Kalista, who had walked out of the turret, to quickly stand back up on the spot!

"Are we still diving? It seems like Trundle is coming down!" Meiko asks urgently.

"I can burst him!" Ye Bo says concisely, his hands not stopping as he speaks.

"I'll tank, you retreat!"

Meiko had originally thought, like the play in the mid lane, to let Akshan exit the turret first, then have himself tank the turret while Akshan kills the villain.

That would be profitable, but the opponent would also get 300 gold, and it would waste quite a bit of time.

Back and forth, it would only amount to a net gain of 100 gold in extra bounty.

While Akshan switches to tanking the turret, he doesn't stop, decisively and immediately swinging his Heroic Swing, which refreshed upon the kill!

The angle of this E ability is from bottom to top, guarding against Senna flashing away.

But Uzi's desire to make a play has been ignited.

He didn't even think about running.

"Get down here!" Uzi lets out a joyful roar in the player booth, his chubby face turning bright red!

Just as Akshan begins to swing, Senna reacts extremely quickly with a flash into his face—almost perfectly timing it to "bump" Akshan out of the air!

"Damn it, Dog! Don't!" Kid Kid is anxious and panicked: "Ye Wen can't die!"

"Ye Wen has no flash; if he gets traded, it's a huge loss!" Xika, on the other hand, loves the chaos.

Akshan is almost instantly interrupted out of his E, firing only one arrow.

The turret was already at full-warmup damage, and the damage is ridiculously high; with Akshan's physique, he can only tank at most four shots.

But Ye Bo remains calm, still looking confident.

Akshan kills the toad very quickly, and the more fragile Senna is naturally just a matter of a few arrows; three hits, two auto-attacks, and the three-ring passive pierce the heart of the not-full-health Senna!

However, after Uzi dies, the satisfaction on his face does not diminish.

Because in his view, he has successfully traded for this big bounty!

"Die for me!!"

The turret's third auto-attack has already been fired, and the fourth is aiming.

Akshan has no flash and cannot escape the lock-on of this laser.

But Ye Bo just unhurriedly maneuvers Akshan to the wall.

He watches quietly as the warmed-up laser fires.

Afterward, Akshan fires his kill-refreshed Heroic Swing toward the extreme edge of the wall.

Although Akshan's health looks like it still has quite a bit left—three bars—this full-warmup turret shot can deal at least 400 damage!

No matter how you look at it, there is no way to survive.

Akshan's high-swinging figure seems to be only briefly delaying the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

But when Akshan lands.

The chasing laser in the air finally hits his body—but it only deals 180 damage!

"??????"

Uzi is stunned.

Sun Yalong in front of the screen is also stunned: "What is this thing!"

"He's using a health-lock hack! He turned it on!" Xika, on the side, habitually starts trolling.

Only the filial Kid Kid is thinking seriously.

Then, as if he suddenly understood something, he cannot help but let out a continuous stream of exclamations.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! I get it!!"

"You get it again?"

Kid Kid excitedly explains to himself: "He refreshed and reset the turret's aggro!"

"I really don't know the exact seconds for the turret's ramp-up damage reset, but this is the only possibility! He used the refreshed E to swing in a big circle, resetting the turret's warmup damage!"

"Look at his subsequent movement; it must have all been calculated! Ye Wen is so meticulous!!!"

The turret's ramp-up mechanism increases subsequent damage every time it attacks a hero, until it doubles to 120%.

Resetting the ramp-up damage requires an interval of 3.5 seconds.

But it is important to note—this 3.5-second interval does not start timing from "after hitting a hero."

It starts timing from "after performing an attack!"

This is why Akshan deliberately waited for the turret to fire its attack before starting his E ability.

Fortunately, the turret's warmup "ramp-up" did not disappear.

It just transferred to where it was supposed to go.

Furthermore, just as the bot lane battle was in full swing, good news also came from the top lane.

"What's the situation! Why did the top lane die too!?"

In the replay, Bin, who had been pent up, saw Akshan in the bot lane and couldn't wait to charge into the lane.

But he didn't expect.

Volibear hadn't been jungling at all, just camping in the top lane brush, waiting hard!

The tactical goal given to Jiejie was very simple.

Gangplank is extremely reliant on "levels"; without level 13, Gangplank's barrel decay speed makes it impossible to hit anyone, and its importance is almost equivalent to Kayle and Kassadin at level 16.

So he just wore him down; anyway, he had nowhere else to go to farm.

If neither is farming, the one who loses the most is definitely Gangplank!

But this is not the reason for Gangplank's death.

In fact, Volibear, having activated Predator, just wanted to stop him from going under the turret, not really wanting to kill him.

With oranges and barrels, Gangplank could completely cleanse the crowd control instantly and turn to kite away; Volibear alone definitely couldn't complete the chase.

It's just that Bin, without jungle support, started playing recklessly.

Having already used his ultimate to clear the wave earlier, he couldn't bear to be driven away again when he saw the third wave of minions piling up under the turret.

Thus, he wanted to make a play under the turret.

But the result proved that facing the double ultimates of Gnar and Volibear, in the face of absolute stats, he could only be flattened by two pairs of giant palms!

Volibear's ability to disable turrets is truly shameless.

If Gangplank had his R, he might have been able to barely make a play, but since he couldn't resist using it to farm from a distance in the last wave, forcing a return to the turret this time was indeed a "discipline" issue.

[He can actually force his way to the lane to feed like this? Are those few minions that tempting? Is there a rare serial number hidden in the minions' pockets or what!]

[Why is BLG so vulnerable? Everyone is feeding? Feeding like crazy!]

[Why did Song Bin take a bath in the daytime? Because he's a fake thief welcoming the pine tree, one seeking a basin, one seeking to steal!]

[The heaven-defying pillar Poppy, just wandering around every day, don't know what he's doing, this is purely a jungle gap!]

[I really didn't expect to hear "jungle gap" here; without Trundle acting as a bodyguard for your mid laner, this guy is just a public restroom for the opponent under the turret, anyone can walk in and use it!]

[How can you play when the mid laner feeds like this? If I were the jungler, I'd want to surrender!]

"It's exploded! Blossoming on both top and bottom, the whole thing is blown up in one wave!"

"This EDG lineup really has something to it; the dive ability is too shameless. The mid and jungle dive the turret brainlessly together, and then the support and mid have double revives, and the ADC even has a Poké Ball! It's all synergy!"

"BLG's turtle shell in this game was actually ripped off from the start, and this EDG, they aren't using a hammer to attack, they're using a damn chainsaw!"

The three members of DYS had almost reached a verdict on this match.

"Actually, I think there's a very important question right now," Sun Yalong asked with a sincere expression.

"Do you guys think BLG can last until 20 minutes in this game?"

This time, he really wasn't trolling.

The farm the Emperor of the Sands managed to steal in the mid lane wasn't enough to quench his thirst, but the top and bottom lanes had almost completely imploded in one go!

The "Tower-Fierce" duo in the bottom lane could achieve "mutual protection" after hitting level six, leaving the bottom lane with absolutely no opportunities.

There is no need to say much about the mid lane; even with his ultimate, the Emperor of the Sands could only barely protect himself under the tower, and the deficit in his development could by no means be made up for in a short time.

And more importantly, now that Akshan and Volibear are attacking together, given the current economic gap between the two sides.

"There isn't a single tower in BLG that is safe!"

After taking the Rift Herald, they pushed straight to the second tower in the mid lane, leaving the mid lane gateway wide open!

The prematurely torn defensive line caused BLG to lose track of Akshan's movements, and the entire team was in a state of panic regarding their development.

"No way? Even the second Rift Herald wasn't used, and the outer towers are almost all gone. Are they a demolition crew!?"

"Akshan's damage is too terrifying! He kills everywhere he goes!" Xika shouted with a flushed face: "He really is killing from start to finish this game!"

"How is BLG supposed to develop at all? If they leave Draven open again this game, I feel like they're going to replicate... that legendary classic!" Kid excitedly jumped up and down.

At 17 minutes, EDG held a massive advantage in all three lanes, and with a 7k gold lead, the five of them gathered in front of the mid lane high ground.

Without any nonsense, they charged straight to push the tower.

The members of BLG still wanted to put up a desperate fight, but Volibear's butt-slam, with the 4-second disable from his level-two ultimate, forcibly "opened up the battlefield" for the team, causing the opponents to lose their only reliance.

Facing a huge economic disadvantage, the Gangplank wasn't even level 13 yet; he was simply no match for them!

The team fight was completely one-sided!

At exactly 19 minutes, the five members of EDG pushed straight to the nexus turrets again.

They dropped the reserved second Rift Herald and did the exact same thing!

Gnar and Volibear were like two walls of despair, Akshan and Zeri outputted damage wantonly, with Akshan's resurrection as a safety net and Renata's rescue as a guarantee.

The opponents didn't even have a chance to burst down Akshan.

Volibear leaped down, disabling both defensive towers at once.

Holding the power of Infinity Edge, Akshan hooked onto the crystal and swung into the air.

The crossbow in his hand seemed more like a handheld RPG at this moment!

Every bolt was like a rocket!

At 19 minutes and 37 seconds, EDG made one final push to explode the crystal, turning it into fireworks across the sky!

I see some book friends asking about the update time.

First of all, this is definitely my fault, I admit my mistake and take the beating, sorry.

Then, let me explain: I really didn't want to over-promise.

Because I don't have a stockpile, I write every day, so there will indeed be many unexpected situations.

Not to mention the daily writer's block.

For example, this chapter from yesterday and today, I originally just wanted to write 5k in the morning and evening for a 10k daily goal, so the estimated time was actually about the same.

As a result, as I wrote, I got into the flow, so I just wrote a few thousand more words; 8k yesterday and 6.5k today.

I thought, since I finally had inspiration, there was no need to break the chapter and post it just to be on time.

Of course, as I said before, it is definitely entirely my own fault; if I could write it in advance, this wouldn't happen, and I'm quite annoyed with myself too.

There's really no way for now; these past two days I've started entering a "time loop" of staying up all night again. I can only see if I can adjust to having a stockpile later, but I really can't guarantee it at the moment.

To avoid similar incidents, from now on I will only state the word count and not a specific time, just saying morning or evening. Of course, it will generally be at the normal time.

The updates won't be any less anyway; if I really can't write them, I will post a separate chapter to ask for leave.

[So, there is more tonight]

Thank you brothers for the monthly tickets!

Thank you brothers for your support!
