Virtual World: Close Combat Mage - Chapter 637

Chapter 637


In two different locations, two different groups were each coming up with their respective battle strategies .

One side had men gathered in a circle, the atmosphere tense and somber, their hands holding the map as they pointed and drew on it, and everyone present was discussing and coordinating with one another . The other side was done laying out their plan in a few short statements, leaving one man contemptuously eyeing the crowd around him even as they stared back at him with loathing and indignation .

Young Master Han's plan was sometimes not exactly a plan but merely a simple analysis, and this analysis was sometimes not exactly overly clever, but because he was always the quickest to come up with it and the first to suggest it, so it did give him the right to condescend everyone .

Did he actually have a real plan? No one knew, but they were all aware that he enjoyed leaving a few tricks up his sleeve before he would amaze everybody the specific moment it came .

However, after countless of times, everyone was starting to think that the reason Young Master Han would always keep part of his plan unexplained might perhaps be due to the fact that he really did not have a completed plan in mind to begin with . This person made the correct judgment in accordance to the situation, and his plans were effective might be because he could quickly grasp the situation to come up with an impromptu plan . This was why he had the vile habit of keeping things under wraps at first, as even he would not have any clear understanding of what would occur in the very beginning .

Everyone was not going to pretend that they could force the answer out of his mouth, so all they could do was secretly guess at it themselves, but there was one thing certain, and that was Young Master Han enjoyed playing with people in the palm of his hands no matter what . Thus, no matter how much they hated him for it, they would not want to fall victim to that .

At the moment, while everyone was looking forward to him revealing a miraculous tactic on how they could deal with Broken Water Arrow's long-ranged harassment and sneak-attacks, all he offered was a single statement, "Make full use of the terrain!"

Everyone did not understand what he meant . Thus, after another glare of contempt from him, Young Master Han finally said, "Go into the spawn point . "

That was making full use of the terrain! Anyone would have thought of this simple solution had they been given enough time to mull this over .

This plan did not let any of them feel in the least bit stunned but disappointed, instead . They were even irritated by it when the bout of sadness passed . Such a simple solution; why didn't I think of it? We ended up being despised by this b*st*rd again!

Entering the designated safe zone that the spawn point offered the moment the ranged assault from Sniper God's bunch began was a very simple solution, yet it was also very effective .


Even though this was far more passive, they had three hostages with them this time, so the initiative would always be in their hands for the upcoming battle . Entering the spawn point was just a temporary shelter . By the time Young Master Han got a sense of the enemies' offensive, perhaps he would have come up with an appropriate countermeasure, right?



That was what everyone was thinking, so they did not ask any further questions . They even discussed if they should head to the spawn point now and troll Broken Water Arrow from the get-go, causing them to rush over in high spirits, only to be dumbfounded upon their arrival .

No one did it in the end after thinking it through . Ye Xiaowu and the two other Priests, who were still taking refuge in the spawn point, could easily warn their comrades Young Master Han and the others' every word and action . Everybody figured that it was better to spring that surprise on the enemies at the right moment, instead .

Thus, they all sat down and patiently waited outside the spawn point for the ensuing battle . Witnessing this bunch act flagrantly, the trio stuck in the Priest Academy thought that they would boldly declare their strategy; never did they think that they would not make a peep and would instead proceeded to huddle by the entrance for a discussion before dispersing after . Ye Xiaowu reckoned that they had not left, so he poked his head out to take a look around .

Sure enough, Young Master Han and the others were still about at the entrance . When Ye Xiaowu poked his head out, plenty of people looked in his direction . Gu Xian even cocked his brow, and this made Ye Xiaowu's heart skip a beat as he quickly jerked his head back to safety . He settled his anxious heart by telling himself . "Don't worry; you're in a safe zone!"

Simply having their feet planted in a safe zone did not mean that they were in it . For the system to deem players inside, they must have over half of their body within . As for what constituted this 'half', that was something the system calculated . Thus, when Ye Xiaowu poked his head out, part of his body got exposed, and being uncertain if it meant that he was out of the safe zone, he felt a little frightened .

"They're still here!" He told the two who were in the same boat as him .

The two men were comparatively calmer than him . This was still considered as quite a fresh experience for them . They had seen plenty of hostages before, but they had never been the hostages themselves . In truth, the term used to refer about military operations and war captives was not 'hostage' but 'prisoner' instead . And for the outcome of a war to hinge upon the exchanging of several prisoners was a little whimsical .



The bunch waiting outside felt rather bored, so they each sought for things to pass the time . Flame Singed Clothes pulled out his deck of cards and began playing with his friends . There were more people this time, so they could not play Fight the Landlord; instead, they played the more popular game, Texas Hold'em . Flame Singed Clothes' experience with the game was no more than losing a few handful of beans on QQ, yet here he was, teaching everyone the game like a pro! Someone began expressing his doubts after they played a few rounds . "Three plus two is bigger than a straight?"

"What three plus two? That's called a full house! Of course, it's bigger than a straight! It's even bigger than a suit!" The expert Flame Singed Clothes said .

"What? Then, how did your suit just now beat my full house," Glue questioned after hearing his explanation .

"Is that so?" Flame Singed Clothes retorted .

Everyone glared at him .

"Explain the rules clearly to me!" Blackwater grabbed him by the collar .



"Wait, wait, wait; let me think about this properly . " Flame Singed Clothes was having a tough time . He hated the fact that he could not access for visiting .

"Luring the tiger out of its mountain den," everyone reminded .

"Just hop into the safe zone if you guys are in danger!" Gu Fei turned around and pointed . "I'm only leaving for a bit; there's no reason for you guys to be so afraid . "

Everyone was now in tears .

What else could they say to this? Sometimes, when Gu Fei got mad, he acted as high-handed as Young Master Han .

"Don't come back if you die there!" everyone barked, their faces black with anger .

"I'm going . " Gu Fei touched his sword and went dashing out . Think of this like Chinese WikipediaPlease download our sponsor's game to support us!
