Chapter 212: Overwhelming Dominance (2/2)
The match immediately became a mirror battle as both players’ hands were evenly quick at the beginning phase. None of them wasted any time, and every detail was done to perfection. Nevertheless, it didn’t surprise many people as most of them were also able to copy those robotic movements that didn’t require any thinking. However, something did happen after a minute.
When Einherjar Wannabe completed his air base, people immediately knew that he was about to demonstrate his Art of the Soaring Heaven.
Meanwhile, Parese was seen using Kaedeian’s favorite Art of the Blazing Flare. As the No.1 amongst second graders in Kaedeian Royal Academy, Parese was more mature and steadier that Rhin, hence her Art of the Blazing Flare was, of course, better than Rhin’s. Furthermore, Parese’s controlling maneuvers seemed impressive as well. Clearly, she didn’t panic even though she was facing the famous Einherjar Wannabe.
Recons from both players were pretty decent as well, and they paid attention to every detail of their movements. It seemed like neither player kept any secrets from each other in the beginning phase, while the match further developed to one that resembled the previous fight between Einherjar Wannabe and Rhin. But as Einherjar Wannabe began to deploy his plane, Parese’s ground forces were seen getting into formation. Apparently, she had shortened her financial development stage to create a ground formation that targeted Einherjar Wannabe’s gimmicks.
As Einherjar Wannabe’s plane approached, Parese deployed a small group of troops to counter his airborne attacks.
Both players began exchanging fire, and it seemed like Einherjar Wannabe’s strategy was completely busted. Apparently, his plane was unable to destroy her radar tower since he was unable to deal with the defense on the ground, and things were not looking good.
If Einherjar Wannabe were unable to deal with her strategy, without a doubt, Parese would be turning the table in no time.
As a matter of fact, Parese’s controlling maneuvers was rated top-notch in her academy, not to mention her way of reconnaissance and utilizing Art of the Blazing Flare was different compared to the others. Instead of hastily destroying Wang Tong’s plane, she planned to guard her radar towers while conserving forces and waiting for the perfect chance to ambush in one shot.
However, just that everyone was wondering if Einherjar Wannabe would back down and think of another way, his second fighter jet had come to the rescue. It seemed like he was demonstrating parallel dual controlling maneuvers!
One of his planes was busy attacking Parese’s radar towers while the other one was seen subduing the opponent with its airborne advantages. Parese knew about the importance of radar towers, so she had no choice but to defend them with all of her might, even if it would cost her to lose a great deal of troops.
Parese’s controlling maneuvers were flawless, yet for some reason, she was always this close to getting rid of Einherjar Wannabe’s planes.
Einherjar Wannabe’s planes were traveling in completely different patterns even though he was controlling them with parallel dual controlling maneuvers, as one was in charge of attack and the other one was in charge of interfering. The effectiveness and accuracy of Parese’s troops immediately dropped since she had to separate her troops in order to deal with two planes, and she was unable to afford losing so many troops.
Both players were trying their best to control the current situation. Parese then took over with her strongest controlling maneuvers and secured the statuses of her radar towers!
Everyone was looking at the huge monitor. They could tell that Einherjar Wannabe was getting KO-ed soon since his invisible team was basically useless in this situation.
All of a sudden, Parese’s siren went off at her base, and her face went pale as she turned around to see what was going on. Turned out Einherjar Wannabe’s ground troops had approached her base, and even though it wasn’t very large scale, still it was more than enough to deal her the finishing blow.
This time, Einherjar Wannabe demonstrated the parallel tri controlling maneuvers, adding frontal attacks and rear interference into his attacks.
In the end, Parese helplessly surrendered.
Everyone began to wonder if that was, in fact, the true power of Art of the Soaring Heaven!
It was indeed a sudden victory of Einherjar Wannabe. However, people were able to learn that planes were not only good in recon and interference, they also enabled a player to select his or her preferred strategies according to the situation. Obviously, Parese’s operational awareness was very good as she was able to defend her radar towers from getting destroyed while subduing Einherjar Wannabe’s parallel dual controlling maneuvers. However, during this process, Parese’s operational maneuvers had become slower, and she had to burn out her financial development in order to produce more troops for this struggling battle. Meanwhile, Einherjar Wannabe had developed enough forces and was already very familiar with Parese’s base.
Even if Parese were stronger, she would never be able to stand against his three hasty controls; it was definitely a sudden knockout.
Wang Tong then licked his lips and drank some water. To be honest, what happened just now was actually a quick change of plans because the opposing player’s strategy was specifically designed to be used against him. But instead of going with different strategies after observing and understanding opponent’s performance, Wang Tong’s overall strategy remained unchanged, and he focused on understanding opponent’s situation first before improvising the strategy to deal with it.
The first match ended in less than ten minutes. Somehow, it did feel like a performance.
Students of the Kaedeian Royal Academy was stunned and silenced by what happened a while ago. Apparently, they were still unable to figure out what it was. Moreover, they were curious if Einherjar Wannabe won by controlling maneuvers or an upper hand in strategies.
Parese shook her head. To be honest, her chance of winning was higher, victory was so close yet so far. She might have had a bigger chance to win if she chose to go for an instant all-out attack a few minutes earlier.
However, she had made the wrong choice.
On the other hand, Rhin seemed to have realized that Art of the Soaring Heaven actually had another key factor, which was the superb controlling maneuvers of Einherjar Wannabe.
People would always feel like they had a chance to win when dealing with his Art of the Soaring Heaven. After all, it did look weak at the very beginning.
