Chapter 552: Playoffs

Georgia propped herself up on the table and got up, "Have the islanders get ready, I'm going to check out the 0073 heresy."

Unlike heretics stored in warehouses, heresy number 0073 is an extremely special heresy. It is stored under an isolated island in the middle of the Gura Sea, on which is the branch processing department of the Third Bureau, and below the island, in the deep sea of about 3,600 metres, is this heresy number 0073.

To be more precise, heresy number 0073 is not a heresy, but a collective name for the six million heretics, including the Golden King, and is the largest and most expensive heresy the Bureau of Heresy has ever housed. --The King of Gold

-- [The Lost Country of Gold].

In the top-secret archives, which only Georgia and Lu Yizhan have access to, the heresy of 0073 is described in one sentence - [There are more than 16 million tons of gold stored here].

[Current Custodian of Heretics: Head of the Three Bureaus Georgia].

[Guardianship Purpose: To prohibit anyone from knowing, prying, or entering the sunken country of Gloren, the land of gold, to steal, sell, or cut up gold that has not yet awakened].

"Yes Captain!" The team saluted at the order.

As Georgia walked out of the office, he glanced back at the teaser letter left on the desk with a mixed expression, and finally turned to leave, his tone cold.

"On the day of the tournament, the three bureaus will be placed under emergency martial law and no suspicious persons will be allowed near the branch processing department of the three bureaus on the Gulo Sea, and special force may be used if necessary."

"Kill this thief who has come to provoke."

Game of the Wandering Circus.

Wang Shun took a deep breath and looked at the information he had just handed out in front of everyone: "You must be wondering why this time it is not electronic, but such a heavy paper document."

"It was because our first enemy of the playoffs, Golden Dawn, had the most tightly guarded secrecy system in the game and it was difficult for me to probe the minds of the members inside and after a tough probe, I had no idea what skills they were employing, resulting in me not being able to transport that scouted information electronically or in skill form, I had to document it in text. "

"But with text, the scouting method becomes inflexible and easily discovered, the information that can be recorded in text is very limited, Golden Dawn is worthy of being the most tightly guarded guild, I have been detected several times when I went scouting." Wang Shun waved the text in his hand with a bitter smile, the green and black under his eyes obvious, "So I'm not getting much information this time, everyone will have to go up and scout for themselves, sorry."

Bai Liu smiled and waved the text in his hand, "That thickness, it doesn't look like limited intelligence, it's hard to say if we'll be able to read it before we get on."

When Bai Liu joked about it, Wang Shun laughed and relaxed a little: "With Muke around, you won't lose track."

Wang Shun collected his expression and began to explain, "First, let's go over the basic rules of the playoffs with everyone."

"There are eight teams in the playoffs and there are three matches - eight into four, four into two and a final."

"Although the same draw is made, the rules of the draw are different from both the pre-season and the challenge, and instead of being random, the teams are divided according to their current standings, ranked from highest to lowest, with first to fourth drawing fourth to eighth, in other words, meaning that the playoffs are all high versus low matches."

"We won against Kings Guild but we didn't finish at the top of the table, being eighth, so we were out of the draw for the whole playoffs."

"It may be bad news for the average newcomer to the guild, but for our guild -"

Wang Shun laughed helplessly as he looked over at Bai Liu, who innocently spread his hands and replied with a smile, "It's a happy occasion."

"Yes." Wang Shun nodded with a sigh, "So I breathed a long sigh of relief when I saw that the team that drew us was Golden Dawn."

" Golden Dawn is the third ranked guild at the moment and with a not so strong tactical style, I was expecting this to be the easiest game we've had in a while."

"But only I thought."

Wang Shun tapped the information in his hand.

"The Golden Dawn I know is a team somewhat similar to Kings Guild, with good defence and secrecy, but not enough offense, but this year, just as Kings Guild introduced Sister Phoebe to counter their lack of offense, they introduced Armand. Armand."

Wang Shun tapped on the system panel and Armand's face popped up on the system panel, Wang Shun looked down and flipped through the information while clicking on the system panel to explain.

"It looks like Armand, like Phoebe, is a control position player and has not shone as brightly as Phoebe in the mid-season, the reason why he is a highly popular newcomer ......"

"It's the face, isn't it?" Bai Liu asked calmly and rhetorically, propping up his jaw.

"Yes." Wang Shun nodded, "Georgia, the Golden Dawn leader back then, was the same way, always popular and controversial because of his very refined and noble appearance, but then his strong skills and excellent competition performance broke the many controversies surrounding him, but now Armand is not so lucky, he is just a newcomer and already a number of players are mocking him as a vase."

"Not a surprise." Bai Liu looked at the panel thoughtfully, " Armand and the president called Georgia, their looks and aura gave me a very extravagant feeling, like a very well-born aristocrat, but usually, this innate nobility is extremely sought after by some people while being extremely disliked by others. "

"- like gold."

"Other than that, do you know anything about the skills of the players in this guild?" Bai Liu asked, closing the information.

"That part of the information, there is very little." Wang Shun smiled bitterly, " Georgia the president and tactician's skill is a golden leaf bow, skill related to time, but specifically Buming, some of the older players I still know some, like their guild's perennial ace - Chrissy. "

Wang Shun taps on the system panel, and a woman with brown hair and brown pupils and a dark profile pops up on the panel.

"I know her better because every year the best [Shield] bit player is chosen between Titan and Chrissy of the King's Guild, and I used to spy on this player named Chrissy in many ways under the Queen's orders." Wang Shun turned his head to look at everyone, "Her skill is the only one I know best, it's called [Non-Newtonian Fluid]."

"This skill summons a white fluid barrier that blocks all attacks in front of your Team Fang member - the barrier is so strict that you can't even get past Chrissy as long as you are aggressive, even if you don't act aggressively. The barrier of [non-Newtonian fluids] summoned."

"And the most troubling thing about this skill is that -"

Wang Shun sighs, "This skill has no CD and can be used all over the field."

Tang Erda subconsciously frowns - it's a skill that is specifically designed to grind down gun-based main attackers.

"Holy shit!" Mu Sicheng also heard his scalp tighten, "Universal across the board, how is this going to play?!"

"The skill originally had a CD." Wang Shun also had a big headache, "but Georgia, the captain's skill, can reduce the CD indefinitely when combined with Chrissy, and he can constantly reverse the time on Chrissy, bringing her back to a point in time where she hasn't used the skill yet, and eventually making the skill CD-free. "

"And Georgia, the captain, has a skill that works with every player."

"So you're about to face a team where the whole team has no skill CD time."

Mu Sicheng's blood pressure rose as he listened and his temples popped: "No CD for the whole crew?!"

Then how can they fight? They can wait for the CD and the opponent can grind them to death with unlimited openings!

"Yes, Georgia's dominant control game has turned back all the disapproval from the crowd." Wang Shun let out a long sigh, "Before Phoebe came out of nowhere this year, Georgia was the control match that all the main attacking positions dreamed of. He was smart, calm and elegant, able to combine the beauty and strength of the battlefield, aiding all players across the court with superb precision and control."

"In previous years, Golden Dawn's only weak point was not having a very good anchor, and everyone would be sad that a superb control like Georgia wasn't paired with a proper anchor to lose out on the title."

"And this year, they switched out their previous lead offense for Armand and everyone thought Golden Dawn was dropping the lead offense and getting ready to play the double control position."

"But I used a bit of special tricks to get Armand's mid-season output numbers and found out that wasn't the case."

Wang Shun opened the file in front of him and looked at the data with complicated eyes: " Armand's skill on the surface looks like a control skill that summons a hurricane and stops the opponent's movement, it doesn't look like a strong output in the league, even invisible a lot of the time, his presence is not found on the battlefield --This does not look like a main attack."

"But did everyone see that? Armand's output figures."

The moment Tang Erda scanned the data, she stopped, and Wang Shun had mixed feelings: "To be honest, I didn't expect it to be as high as it was."

" Armand's mid-season output was almost equal to that of Spades, the top starter, which of course had something to do with the fact that the Gods had Spades on the field in the mid-season, but that's scary, the guy is a rookie."

"What's even more frightening is that -" Bai Liu raised his eyes to Armand on the panel, "- such terrible output figures actually didn't cause an overwhelming advantage on the field, but slowly won in an unobtrusive way."

"This tactic is like a butterfly that intentionally hides itself in the middle of a hurricane."

Bai Liu looks down at the file, his eyes falling on the butterfly resting on his shoulder in Armand's photo: "- he's the one who started the hurricane that killed everyone, yet he disguises himself in such a beautiful and harmless way. "

"Is it to make the enemy let their guard down while they set off a bigger hurricane?"
