The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

At the start, the five players grouped up to clear the red buff. Miracle Team's previous strategy was to start with blue buff and then counter-jungle the red buff, but this time Han Cheng considered that the enemy Han Xin might return to counter-jungle the red buff, and that it wouldn't be very useful for him, as a Shiranui Mai, to take the red buff, so he started with red buff first. Actually, there isn't a fixed strategy for starting with red or blue buff; it generally depends on the team's jungler's needs, the enemy's lineup, and the desired playstyle. Also, it can be based on personal preference.

However, after taking down the red buff, Han Cheng was surprised to see that the opposing team grouped up and went to push the bottom lane tower. After taking down the red buff, instead of taking down the blue buff or counter-jungling it, they went to push the tower. What were they thinking?

Fortunately, they had full map vision. Han Cheng sent Zhong Wuyan and Yu Ji to defend the bottom lane tower, while the rest of them went to steal the enemy's blue buff. The enemy also started with red buff, so Han Cheng gave the blue buff to Zhou Yu, since he didn't really need it himself.

"Oh ho, victory is imminent!" Zhou Yu took down the blue buff and leveled up to level two. Meanwhile, the sound of first blood was heard in the bottom lane. It turned out that the enemy Han Xin had actually killed Yu Ji under the tower, securing first blood and escaping unscathed. Ye Bing's Zhong Wuyan had failed to stop him.

"This is too powerful!" The fat man was still shaken after being killed.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have sent you back to defend so early. We should have gone back together and made them eat dumplings," Han Cheng said remorsefully.

“It’s not your fault for commanding,” Ye Bing said. “Your command was perfect. I just didn’t expect them to fight so fiercely.”

“Okay, but we took the enemy's blue buff and cleared two small monsters, so it's not a complete loss,” Xu Xiaomeng said. “If only we were on the blue side, we could have taken the blue buff and wiped them out at the same time.”

"This... they probably chose to force a kill because they were taking advantage of our tendency to counter-jungle the blue buff. Otherwise, at least one of them would have died," Han Cheng said, feeling a sense of dread about the opposing team.

Fortunately, a miracle occurred. Timely defense prevented the opponent from destroying a tower, thus avoiding a widening of the deficit and allowing them to win a point.

The dragon had not yet spawned, so both sides opted for normal laning.

Mai Shiranui's jungle clearing speed is not as fast as Han Xin's. The enemy Han Xin has already gained more than 400 gold advantage over Han Cheng. This 400 gold may not seem like much in the early game, but it is actually very important. Sometimes, it is just a small item bought with these few hundred gold that becomes a life-or-death weapon.

"Damn it, the enemy is ganking again." Han Cheng glanced at the bottom lane, where four enemy players had gathered to gank, putting Yu Ji and Zhong Wuyan in grave danger.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Miracle team were in the top lane, and the nearest Zhou Yu was in the mid lane, making it impossible for him to reach the top.

"What should we do?" Han Cheng thought for a moment and decided to switch. With three people on the other side and only one on the enemy side, they should be able to wipe them out. But with four people on the enemy side and only one person on their side, they might not be able to wipe them out.

"Zhou Yu go down, Xiang Yu, let's take care of the monkey," Han Cheng said. If Zhou Yu goes down, Zhong Wuyan and Yu Ji will have a better chance of survival.

Mai Shiranui landed a Flower Butterfly Fan attack on the monkey, slowing it down. Xiang Yu roared and slammed the monkey against the wall. Mai Shiranui followed up with her ultimate move to knock the monkey back. Xiang Yu then unleashed his ultimate move, Overlord Slash, and together with Mai Shiranui, they quickly eliminated the monkey.

Meanwhile, in the bottom lane, Lu Bu unleashed his ultimate skill under the tower, causing Yu Ji and Zhong Wuyan to scatter like birds and beasts. Suddenly, Sun Shangxiang unleashed a heavy cannon, taking away a large chunk of Yu Ji's health. Diao Chan entered the tower and activated her ultimate skill, and Han Xin also leaped in, directly destroying the low-health tower.

Zhong Wuyan petrified Diao Chan, limiting Diao Chan's output, but found that Yu Ji had been knocked into the air. At this moment, Zhou Yu arrived and immediately used a combo to stun Diao Chan, while Han Xin brought Yu Ji to low health. Lu Bu used his first skill, and Yu Ji was about to die, but she used her second skill to dodge the fatal blow. Sun Shangxiang rolled and killed the surviving Yu Ji. Zhou Yu was also killed instantly, while Zhong Wuyan escaped.

On the top lane, Shiranui Mai and Xiang Yu tried their best to push the tower, but they couldn't match the damage from the four players on the bottom lane. The second tower lost half its health, and one kill was exchanged for two kills and one lane. Han Cheng then realized that his and Xiang Yu's choice to kill the monkey seemed unwise, so he quickly returned to defend.

The dragon had only spawned a short while ago, and Team Snow took advantage of Team Miracle's retreat to defend it to eliminate the dragon.

"Damn it, the economic gap has widened again." Han Cheng thought to himself. The Snow team had an endless stream of strategies and excellent teamwork. Every player on the team was very strong. Only then did Han Cheng realize the difference between professional teams and amateur teams.

The original advantage of the poke lineup has now vanished. Han Cheng truly regrets not choosing the disruptor back then, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

"Let's team up. We're no match for them in the solo lane," Han Cheng said. Only by teaming up can we maximize the power of our poke composition.

In the mid lane, the five members of Miracle Team gathered here after taking the red and blue buffs.

Seeing that Miracle Team was going to push the middle, the opposing team was not afraid and prepared for a team fight.

"The monkey has disappeared. It's probably targeting Yu Ji. Yu Ji, be careful," Han Cheng warned. At this moment, Yu Ji's position was the best spot for the monkey to attack. Yu Ji quickly retreated and hid behind Xiang Yu's tall and imposing body.

"Zhou Yu, take control of the enemy Diao Chan first. This Diao Chan from the Thousand Emperors is terrifying once she gets going, and Diao Chan herself is quite formidable. Xiang Yu, just push Han Xin away, and leave the rest to us," Han Cheng commanded.

“Okay.” Xu Xiaomeng and Sun Hou nodded.

However, reality was not as satisfactory as imagined.

Lu Bu jumped directly into the Miracle Team camp, Han Xin jumped over and was about to cut Zhou Yu, while Sun Wukong directly made his move on Yu Ji.

"Let's bring this chaotic era back on track!"

Seeing this, Xiang Yu pushed Han Xin aside, but managed to withstand Lu Bu's Fangtianhua Slash. Shiranui Mai knocked the monkey back, but was hit by Sun Shangxiang's heavy cannon.

Miracle Team's lineup was completely torn apart at this moment. Sun Shangxiang was dealing damage from behind, and Diao Chan was about to activate her ultimate skill when she moved over, but was stunned after being marked by two skills from Zhou Yu.

"The opportunity has come!" Zhong Wuyan raised her hammer and petrified Diao Chan. Zhou Yu unleashed a set of skills, instantly taking away half of Diao Chan's health. Shiranui Mai then finished off Diao Chan.

At this moment, Han Xin and the monkey returned and instantly killed Yu Ji.

Sun Shangxiang, dead!

Zhou Yu died!

Xiang Yu is dead!

The monkey is dead!

On the battlefield, only Lü Bu, Han Xin, Mai Shiranui, and Zhong Wuyan remained.

Han Xin suddenly leaped up, attempting to knock Shiranui Mai into the air. Shiranui Mai managed to dodge the knock-up with skillful movement. Lu Bu then used his second skill, "Greedy Wolf's Grip," to slow down Shiranui Mai and Zhong Wuyan. Zhong Wuyan, however, raised her hammer to petrify Han Xin.

However, Han Xin elegantly dodged with his second skill, and then used the second stage of his first skill to sweep back with a horizontal attack.

The attack hit Mai Shiranui and Zhong Wuyan. At this moment, all four people present only had one bar of health left, and Mai Shiranui only had half a bar left. Zhong Wuyan raised her hammer and petrified Han Xin, who had lost his mobility. Lu Bu walked over and used Fangtian Huazhan, but it missed.

Mai Shiranui used her first skill to knock Han Xin into the air, but Han Xin had just broken free of petrification. Suddenly, he used his second skill to create distance and dodge the fatal blow. Now, every skill could potentially kill the opponent.
