The difference this time was that as soon as the Ghost Agent landed, she fired several continuous shots. Although the damage wasn't very high, the sudden appearance of this cloaked unit prompted her to operate Sky Eye to scan, when she suddenly discovered a Ghost Agent...
At that moment, she seemed to remember something. The same map, the same actions, but the difference was that the Ghost Agent was shooting. With the commanding officer's level of skill, it would be easy to avoid the shots, which meant, was this intended for her to see?
Oh my gosh, before she could react, she only heard a system prompt from the main base, followed by a change in the display. She saw a whole 12 capital ships, several squads of soldiers, along with human tanks, mine carts, Bigfoot mechs, and dozens of old peasants as well as other equipment, all sent skywards in an instant. The only things left were the main base and several superstructures with huge health bars, not a single living force survived.
If initially it was just Feng Yi's smokescreen, then this time it was definitely his bad taste. Suddenly, the beautiful advisor lost her dreams...
Wailing, the commander is so mean, so mean, the girl nearly cried as she ran up to Feng Yi, punching him several times and fiercely pinched him, before turning and dashing out of the battle room... not even sparing a glance at the remaining ruined buildings.
The onlookers were collectively stunned. This girl was so bold to publicly hit the commander. However, everyone felt, deep down, that maybe the beating was a bit too light.
Feng Yi suggested that the whole group could challenge him in pairs, which undoubtedly provoked everyone's anger. Of course, if it was a fair fight, there might not be a chance of victory in a 1V2 situation, but if special tactics were used, like this, he felt he still had a chance.
John, upon hearing this, did not hesitate and stepped into the arena, casually picking a station.
Unexpectedly, the second person to enter the arena was the confidential secretary, Fenny. Fenny was obviously furious that Feng Yi would use such tactics and seemed to want to teach him a lesson.
Bring it on, Feng Yi said nonchalantly, but to tell the truth, facing two opponents, he was not very confident himself. After all, there was a skill cap in such old games, and although the cap was high, in a 1V2 scenario, the time available for development was indeed insufficient. Therefore, Feng Yi decided to use the Beast Clan.
As everyone knows, the Beast Clan has a faster reproduction speed and higher production frequency, so Feng Yi's current strategy was to eliminate one opponent as quickly as possible and then drag out the battle. He must not let it prolong because the longer the fight dragged on, with time passing by, the situation would only get worse for him. To put it plainly, the longer it took, the lower his chances of winning became.
Seeing Feng Yi choose the Beast Clan, Fenny also went with the Beast Clan, while John chose the human race. Feng Yi was not aware that the Beast Clan was also Fenny's forte, perhaps even more so than his own.
Fenny and John decided to form an alliance, and right at the start of the game, the difference in development efficiency showed. Fenny's first move was to develop barracks. She was not worried that Feng Yi could knock down any player with an economic surge in a short time, because her collaboration with John complemented each other perfectly. No matter how strong Feng Yi was, it was impossible for him to suppress two players at the same time, so an early surge in troops was crucial. In fact, even the speed of Feng Yi's troop deployment was not as fast as hers.
Of course, John's development speed was not slow either. Although the human race develops more slowly and John's normal operation efficiency was only at Level 5, he chose a game speed of 5 as well. Don't forget, practice makes perfect; he was now playing at a game level close to 7 with the speed of 5.
Troops from all three sides appeared one after another, but Fenny was a bit earlier than Feng Yi, and since the human race has a notoriously slow early development, Feng Yi was nearly 1 minute and 12 seconds faster than John in deploying troops. The problem was, he was facing two enemies, and Fenny's troop deployment and upgrade speeds were even faster than his, so no matter how he fought, it was impossible to defeat one side. If he attacked one side, the other would assist immediately.
For Feng Yi at the moment, the key was to rapidly develop the economy and then seize the chance to gobble up one opponent in one fell swoop. Although the possibility was minuscule and the cost would be extremely high, he had to do it to find a glimmer of hope for victory; otherwise, there was absolutely no chance of defeating both.
As people saw, Feng Yi took the normal development route with a balanced growth, which is the common strategy. This move also proved that he had picked the wrong race because the Beast Clan only had an early-game advantage.
Yet, Feng Yi had no choice but to do this. If he did not choose the Beast Clan, the opponent would use its rapid troop-spawning advantage to destroy his base. Even if you could hold it, if the other side sent another wave of soldiers, you definitely wouldn't be able to defend. Thus, Feng Yi had to start with the Beast Clan's early-game advantage, which served as a deterrence.
The result was that his development was quite balanced, Military Secretary Fenny's troop types outnumbered his own, and her technology advanced faster. The only thing she lacked was money, while John's situation was similar to Feng Yi's. The difference lay in the fact that Fenny and John were clearly aware of Feng Yi's prowess, so both were very cautious and decided not to attack him early on, thereby placing even more pressure on Feng Yi.
No, he had to quickly take down one opponent now, or there would be no time left. With this thought, Feng Yi quickly developed the Beast Clan's Level 2 troops, the Multi-Headed Beasts, and upgraded them to the Burrow skill.
The Burrowing ability, as the name implies, allowed units under your control to tunnel underground and hide, effectively becoming invisible. Of course, in this state, they couldn't move or attack, only regenerate health. It was somewhat akin to lying in ambush or hiding, serving a similar purpose to scouting or providing vision.
Feng Yi had sent little dogs to scout out both opponents' main bases earlier and found that they were very close to each other. To attack him, they would have to cross this inevitable path, but that little dog was chased to death by the enemy.
Now, if he just controlled a group of little dogs and Multi-Headed Beasts to lie in ambush here and burrow into the ground, he could emerge from below the surface as soon as the enemy passed by. Coupled with the original troops from his base, he could catch the enemy by surprise with a pincer attack.
The old fox was planning an ambush again. To avoid alerting the enemy, he did not send troops to that junction until he had completed the upgrade of the Burrowing skill. Then, Feng Yi sneakily sent two groups of units to the crossroads. Seeing that there was no one around, he instantly ordered both groups to burrow and wait for the enemy to pass that spot.
Bystanders are lost while the involved are clear-headed, and this situation left the watching soldiers unable to decide whether to laugh or cry...
Three minutes passed in silence. By now, John, who had a developed force, had already dispatched two groups of units towards Feng Yi's home base. As the troops passed by the spot where Feng Yi's Beast Clan was lying in wait, he instantly decided to send the remaining troops from his base to obliterate one opponent. But what puzzled him was, while John was attacking him, why was there no movement from the other opponent?
No more time to worry about that, one word: attack. Watching the last soldier of John's just disappear from the screen, Feng Yi immediately controlled both groups to emerge from the ground and follow stealthily. He decided to time his strike for the best moment to encircle John.
Feng Yi's two groups had not long disappeared when the same patch of ground they burrowed into suddenly produced two groups of soldiers comparable to his own. Little did the old fox know that while he was lying in wait for an ambush, he was being counter-ambushed. After all, apart from being economically behind, Fenny was a little bit ahead of him in both troop strength and development. And since John and Fenny were allies, John's ignorance wasn't due to being unaware of the old fox's ambush but rather because he pretended not to know.
Consequently, the moment Feng Yi left, John turned right around and counterattacked on the same path...
With his forces back home not yet able to form a pincer with those two groups, why did the enemy counterattack so quickly? Anomalies hint at something strange afoot, but, at this point, it was what it was, and there wasn't much point in fussing. One word: fight. And so, the old fox charged in somewhat bewildered...
