Chapter 466 I am the Captain

"The new competition system isn't entirely favorable to you."

Li Minghu reminded him over the phone, "It's no secret that your tactics are incompatible with the team's. Zhang Huaide will definitely be able to guess that you have a 15-man configuration, and you're leading the charge alone."

"So what?" Yan Yu remained noncommittal, wanting to hear the Valkyrie's opinion.

"If I were Zhang Huaide," Li Minghu analyzed, "I would let Qin Meng take the lead."

"When it comes to individual survivability, Qin Meng, who specializes in physical cultivation, is the undisputed number one in the Fire Phoenix Team. Even Zhou Hongyu can't compare to him. Even if I accidentally run into you in the secret realm, I'll have enough strength to protect myself."

"This is the Fire Phoenix team's home court. After you and Qin Meng leave the field, it will be the turn of the remaining five members of the Fire Phoenix team to enter. They will definitely try to surround you with six people before Chen Lingyun and the others enter the field."

"Even for you, it would be difficult to deal with the combined attack of six people at once. Previously, in the Secret Realm of the Palace, the reason you were able to deal with so many superheroes was because they were all rushing into the Palace and had no intention of engaging with you."

"As expected of Ah Hu." Yan Yu smiled, "Indeed."

Monks aren't invincible, and they have to dodge when attacked. As long as the enemy is large enough and bombards you with a continuous saturation attack, forcing you to dodge and not be able to fight back...they're instantly invincible, so how can you fight them then?
If he were to be surrounded by six people, Yan Yu would have to stall for as long as possible until Chen Lingyun and the others arrived. This was the time when he was most vulnerable, and it was also the window of opportunity when the Fire Phoenix Team was most likely to turn the tables.

"Come to think of it, you did read that post on Tieba, right?" Yan Yu asked.

"I only saw the screenshots A Jiang sent me," Li Minghu said with a smile. "That person was exaggerating about you. I always feel like he's a Ming fan but a real hater."

"That's how high-level blackmail is these days. It's hard to guard against." Yan Yu laughed and said, "Regarding your speculation, I think there is still a variable."

"specifically is?"

"Zhou Hongyu," Yan Yu said, "Now she finally has a chance to meet me alone and fight me on top of the Forbidden City. Will she give up so easily?"

"It seems so." Li Minghu didn't know the relationship between Zhou Hongyu and Yan Yu, so he just said, "But even if it's a personal grudge, it can't override the collective interests of the team, right?"

"That's hard to say." Yan Yu pondered for a moment, "I'll go ask."

"Ask who?"

"Zhou Hongyu."

"Haha." Li Minghu couldn't help laughing, "You are too mean, Yan Yu."

"Just a friendly question." Yan Yu opened the chat window with Zhou Hongyu on his computer and started typing.

【Conquer People with Virtue】: You finally have another chance to compete with me. Are you happy?

【Zhao La】: What do you want to say?
[Conquer with Virtue]: I'll be fighting alone this time. Will you come? King versus king! If you're scared, just say so!
On the other side, Zhou Hongyu showed everyone the screen of his mobile phone, which contained the challenge message sent by Yan Yu.

"Don't worry about it." Zhang Huaide gently pushed the frame of his glasses with his fingertips and said in a deep voice, "If you agree to this, our lineup configuration will no longer be a secret to them."

"On the other hand, they are the same." Zhou Hongyu said coldly, "What is your plan?"

"Qin Meng will lead the charge," Zhang Huaide replied. "On the premise of ensuring your own survival, try to entangle Yan Yu as much as possible. Once our rear guard arrives, we'll surround and eliminate him as quickly as possible."

The reason for developing this tactical plan was because Tang Xiaolian had recently applied for a pair of mother and child Gu from the inventory. No matter where the child Gu was, as long as the mother Gu was carried with her, within a certain distance, its head would always face the direction of the child Gu.

Let Qin Meng bring the baby Gu into the scene first. After everyone enters the secret realm, they can use the mother Gu to immediately rush to Qin Meng's position and complete the rendezvous as quickly as possible.

"What if Qin Meng doesn't find Yan Yu?" Zhou Hongyu questioned, "Or what if Qin Meng can't withstand Yan Yu's attack?"

"If it's the former, at least we've reunited the entire team, so we won't be at a disadvantage." Zhang Huaide had already thought it through and replied, "We'll just have a fair fight later."

"As for the latter, Qin Meng, if you truly feel you can't hold on, you can choose to retreat and protect yourself, trying to delay until we enter the battlefield. That would be similar to the former." "Our advantage this time is that we can complete the reunion of the entire team faster than the Zhenhai team. The art of war is nothing more than using the fast to defeat the slow, and the many to defeat the few. How can we abandon our strengths?"

Zhou Hongyu still disagreed and said firmly:

"I will replace Qin Meng. All other strategies will be carried out according to your instructions."

Zhang Huaide pondered.

The reason why Qin Meng is better than Zhou Hongyu is that he focuses on physical cultivation and has strong defense. Even if his speed and reaction cannot keep up with Yan Yu, he will not have any problems if he is hit a few times. He has the greatest probability of holding on until he reunites with the rest of the team.

If Zhou Hongyu were to lead the charge, the tactical thinking would have to change: instead of thinking about defending and stalling for time, the team would have to try to put pressure on Yan Yu...

It is not impossible.

From a purely tactical perspective, Qin Meng's lead would undoubtedly have a higher success rate. The problem is that we can't just focus on the present moment when considering a problem. Judging by the intense obsession Captain Zhou is displaying, she's still resentful of her defeat by Team Yan, and is practically on the verge of developing a mental disorder.

Even if we use the interests of the team to dissuade her and force her to make concessions this time, it will only be like slightly tightening a spring, and the next rebound will only be more violent.

Winning or losing a battle is just a small matter; resolving Captain Zhou’s inner demons is the big deal.

If we can really defeat Yan Yu this time... No, even if Captain Zhou just fully vents his negative emotions, it will be much easier to do ideological work later.

"Okay." Zhang Huaide finally gave in and said, "The opponent is Chen Lingyun. She will definitely guess that we will let Qin Meng take the lead. Why don't we do the opposite? Captain Zhou, after you find Yan Yu, try to put pressure on the opponent and focus on depleting Yan Yu's true energy..."

"The main thing is to defeat him." Zhou Hongyu corrected.

"Well, the main thing is to try to defeat him." Zhang Huaide reluctantly changed his words, "On that basis, try to force him to fight back. Don't let him just dodge and conserve his energy."

"Sure." Zhou Hongyu said.

Everyone looked at each other and thought to themselves, Captain Zhou's obsession with Captain Yan is really scary. It's been so long since the four-college exchange competition last year, and she still can't forget the shame that Yan Yu left her with?
"Qin Meng." Zhang Huaide began to adjust the plan and gave orders, "You will stay in the rear this time, and your duty is to protect the entire team."

"I understand!" Qin Meng said.

"Hou Qing," Zhang Huaide continued, "your role will change from assisting and supporting to being the main attacker. Before you reunite with Captain Zhou, you will be the team's main attacker."

"I understand!" Hou Qing also nodded in agreement.

"Captain Zhou, don't reply to Yan Yu yet." Zhang Huaide turned and said, "Tang Xiaolian, go chat with Captain Yan and tell him that Captain Zhou and I had a disagreement. Captain Zhou wanted to take the lead, but I disagreed, and we had an argument."

"No." Tang Xiaolian refused, "I don't want to lie to anyone."

Everyone immediately looked at her with wide eyes, thinking, Sister, you are from our Fire Phoenix Team, not the Zhenhai Team!

"I'm not lying," Zhang Huaide said patiently. "It's true that Captain Zhou asked to lead the charge. It's also true that I initially disagreed. You didn't lie. Later, I compromised and readjusted the plan. Just don't say that."

"That won't do either." Tang Xiaolian still refused. "Even if it was because I said something halfway that caused him to misunderstand, won't he still come after me later?"

"That's enough." Zhou Hongyu interrupted, "Huide, matters on the battlefield should be resolved on the battlefield. There's no need to play any tricks outside the battlefield."

"Team Yan was the first to use the trick, wasn't he?" Hou Qing said, "I'm not targeting Team Yan, but it was definitely him who came over to chat first, forcing us to give up using the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu."

"It's not a trick." Zhang Huaide nodded and said, "It's just a psychological tactic..."

"Do as I say." Zhou Hongyu said firmly, refusing to argue. "I'm the captain!"
