Chapter 77: Split Pushing (1/2)

Scarlett was just staring back at Alex in disbelief. She had no clue that Alex would spring something on her like this. Although she didn't know what split pushing was, she still knew from Alex's tone, that he had given her an important role.

”Err Scarlett” Alex said as he waved his hand in front of her face. ”Are you there, is everything okay?”

Scarlett suddenly snapped out of it.

”Sorry.”

”You look like I asked you to fight one on one with a tiger or something, don't worry your job is the easy part.”

After hearing these words Scarlett suddenly calmed down a bit.

Alex then continued to explain.

”We know that Hershel likes to group up and fight as one unit. Honestly, if it's us five vs them five I don't think we have a chance of winning this match. That's why instead of going for a Wipeout (when a team kills all the other team's players.) will go for a capture win instead. (when a team captures the flag at the enemy's team base). While the four of us are locked in combat with Hershel, we will try our best to keep them there for as long as possible, while you Scarlett will push either the top or bottom lane.”

”Do you think it's a good plan?” Novis asked George and Arthur.

”It's a risky plan,” Arthur replied. ”The four of you will have to work hard but not only that. Alex is relying on Hershel stubbornness to work as a group. If they figure out that Scarlett is the weak one in the group all they need to do is send one player to deal with her.”

After hearing this, Novis raised his hand to ask a question.

”Why don't we send me instead to do the split pushing.”

”Hershal team consists of sword and shield warriors, this is the worst matchup for archers as they can easily block incoming shots. We will need our strongest and most effective members to hold Hershal off for as long as possible.”

Scarlett was a little saddened by what Alex had said. She felt like she was just being tossed to the side because she wouldn't be effective in the team fight. Alex saw this and came up to Scarlett.

”Don't get me wrong Scarlett we need you. Will try our best to hold them but you have the most important job of us all.”

Scarlett smiled back as she was reassured but at the same time now, she felt an immense amount of pressure on her shoulders.

”Well, what are we waiting for? It's time to play some practice games.”
