Chapter 187: Evenly Matched (2/2)

He was indeed an opponent to be feared, as Flash was the guarantee of an absolute victory.

Everyone from Capth laid their hopes on Flash for this upcoming crucial match. They even kept quiet and tried not to affect his performance.

Wang Tong might have owned Bisu in the previous match, yet it would still be useless if he couldn’t defeat Flash. According to the agreement, the only way to win this category was by obtaining three victories.

Before the match began, both players walked towards each other and shook hands, their grips quite firm! After that, they walked back to their control room to get prepared and warm up.

Everyone was curious as to whether it would be the almighty perspective that would be dominating, or would Flash be crushed by Wang Tong’s insane controlling maneuvers.

The arena was completely packed with students of Capth, as everyone was dying to witness this ultimate final showdown. This was definitely the climax of the day.

The fourth match had begun!

Both players immediately began their operating maneuvers. Since most of the spectators were also Battlecraft Combat players, they were immediately able to tell that the setting up of both players were close to perfection. It was like watching someone competing against his reflection. As the match progressed, Flash began to implement his elegant and absolute dominance.

As for Wang Tong, he somehow seemed to be chickening out and focusing only on defense instead.

However, playing defensive or not, Flash would still never be bothered by it as he would only make the right decision based on the situation. Clearly, Wang Tong would choose to play it safe because he knew that his high APM would be useless against him.

But did Wang Tong really think that he could win by playing defensive?

Flash’s key strengths were his perfect sense of timing and his ability to seize the slimmest chance. Yet this time, he wasn’t planning on unleashing any massive attacks, because Wang Tong had been developing his ultimate defense at the very beginning. Any sort of taunt was basically useless against him.

Wang Tong’s hands were speedy enough to handle those kinds of attacks while using the gap times to expand his troops.

Not only did Flash’s two rounds of taunting attacks end up useless, those attacks had even helped Wang Tong at some point. Flash began to sense something weird. Judging from the current situation, Wang Tong had already obtained a little advantage, and his advantages were increasing.

Just as Flash had planned.

However, Wang Tong showed no signs of attacking, and continued to expand his base and also increase his operating maneuvers. His recon troops were constantly circling around his base area; he had set-up a flawless defense.

This was not the first time Flash fought against a defensive opponent, and he had no problem handling this sort of opponent as he would strike during his opponent’s deployment vacancy period. Flash was very good in terms of operating maneuvers, yet his operating maneuvers were different from the others as it would be based on his opponent’s battle strategy. His method of playing was to observe and counter accordingly. Most people had their own ways of thinking and reacting to the situations, yet Flash was amazingly able to make the right move at the right time.

Flash’s strategy to counter Wang Tong’s ultimate defense was to expand his army by developing an anti-defense force. Yet, Flash didn’t go full force on that, because Wang Tong’s defense was really tough. If he were to expand blindly, he wouldn’t have enough troops to defend if Wang Tong chose to ambush. Most importantly, Capth’s victory would be doomed.

Of course, Flash would never be making such mistakes. He immediately began to expand steadily while increasing the number of his troops. He was also keeping an eye on Wang Tong, and would strike at once if he were able to find any flaw in his defense.

After all, the greater the defense, the easier it would fall apart during crisis.

Unlike the previous matches, both players seemed to be pressuring each other this time in a chilly atmosphere.

The first one who made a mistake would be the one who would lose.

Everyone seemed to wonder if Wang Tong was trying to drag the match into a war between Battlecraft fleets.

Flash might be in trouble if this match was really dragged into a space dogfight. After all, Wang Tong had single-handedly crushed Bisu, and even created the insane Axis Cloning. Basically, he was almost unrivaled in this part.

Halmond knew that Flash was well aware of this, and obviously knew better than anyone else. Wang Tong was trying to deplete and exhaust his army and strike back when he had established a difference between their military might, which would be fairly dangerous to Flash himself.

Flash was still waiting for a chance to strike. He had been provoking Wang Tong since the very beginning, yet his opponent remained still. He really needed to draw out Wang Tong’s troops in order to find out his weakness. However, instead of attacking Flash after gaining the advantages, Wang Tong maintained his defense and was still continuing to expand.

Students of Capth began to look anxious. Clearly, Flash had more time to develop his army and maintain the advantage of his troops in terms of quality and quantity, since Wang Tong was playing defensive. Yet, it was still not enough to destroy Wang Tong’s ”iron fortress”, not to mention the fact that Wang Tong also possessed insane controlling maneuvers.
