Chapter 87: 5 seconds (2/2)

”I don't know, I thought Alex might have had a plan but it looks like they're playing the game like normal.”

The students were worried, every game they had watched Hershal play ended up with the enemy team losing and they had done the same thing that Montem was doing now.

Each of the NPC knights in the lanes were busy fighting each other. Alex had instructed the team to stay as closer as they could to their second tower. This way there were less likely to die if they were ambushed by the enemy team.

Hershal was doing the exact same thing on their side with their players until. In top lane suddenly their players went missing.

”Alex top is missing,” Novis reported.

”Same here at bottom,” Scarlett said.

”That means there coming Mid, guys come here as quick as you can!” Alex shouted.

Usually, if the enemy warrior left their lane, the players would use this as an advantage and take down the tower in front of them. The problem with this was, while they were busy taking down the tower Hershel would have five people storming through mid.

By the time they would head back, most of their team had died and they no longer had any towers down mid.

Alex was hugging as close to the tower as he could while waiting for his teammates to come, then he saw the four players of Hershal come together. Just like in the videos he had watched they had formed an arrow formation dealing with the NPC knights in an instant.

”Come on where are you guys.” Alex thought.

In their practice games, they realised it was important for the team to protect the second tower for as long as possible. If they did this it would give enough time for Scarlett to reach the enemy base. If they lost the second tower quickly, they would usually lose their games.

Dan, Novis, and Ashley were currently running through the forest as fast as they could. They had done this multiple times before and knew the best route to get to the second tower in time but as they were running a message appeared.

<Red Team tower destroyed>

Alex was only able to hold off the 5 members of the Hershal team for a brief second, before he had to get out of there and run back.

Unlike their practise matches, Hershal was far more coordinated allowing them to take out the tower in an instant. Alex knew if he had stayed, he would have been dead.

Scarlett too had seen the message and gripped her bow tightly.

”We have to win!”
