Chapter 938: TRAINING (I)LUO YAN, Bai Ze, Eclipse, and Dusk were all on one side of the floor while the remaining others were on the opposite side. They all decided to do a tower defense game first. Before the training started, there''s a 10 minute break first so they could talk about strategy.


    Tower defense was a sub-genre of strategy games where the goal was to defend a yer''s territories or possessions by obstructing the enemy attackers or by stopping enemies by reaching the exits, usually achieved by cing defensive structures on or along their path of attack. Amon example of this kind of game was nts vs Zombies.


    Arcadia Cup''s tower defense had a fairly simr concept.


    The one that would represent the ''tower'' was a huge crystal. If a team''s crystal was destroyed, then the opposing team would automatically win. Participants of each team could also put defensive structures to protect their crystals. The problem was that, the yers should activate it by themselves.


    When one yer''s HP dropped to 0, they wouldn''t be immediately kicked out of the game. There would be a downtime, after which they would be resurrected again. But this downtime increased every time they ''died'' during battle. Nevertheless, the only way to win was to destroy the enemy''s crystal.


    The time limit for a game was as long as four hours. Which was pretty damn long in Luo Yan''s opinion. He felt like, by the time the game ended, there would no longer be any audience who was watching because of how long it was. Thankfully enough, there hadn''t been any game that needed tost for that long.


    "I just realized now that this is a very unfair match-up," Bai Ze said.


    "Why does Brother Ze say so?" Luo Yan asked.


    "Hey big lion, are you actually looking down on us?" Eclipse added, looking very offended.


    "Whoa, how did you jump to that conclusion?" Bai Ze responded, looking equally offended.


    "Does anyone here ever going to talk about something useful?" Rowanined in a low voice.


    "Does Brother Ze said that because we don''t have any long range attacker?" Luo Yan said, he had already guessed what Bai Ze was worried about.


    Bai Ze didn''t deny that. "Yes. They have Su Yuqi. As much as I don''t want to admit it, that woman is the best Mage in Arcadia. She has a lot of long range skills. Not to mention Xiao Jin, being a Gunslinger. While both of us here are melee attackers."


    Well, his cousin did have a point. – Luo Yan thought. He was an Assassin, while the other was a Berserker. Both of them specialized in closebat. Which was a disadvantage for a team battle like this one.


    "Have you people forgotten about me? I''m a mighty dragon! I can do any number of long range attack!" Rowan shouted in a very indignant voice, as if them forgetting about the fact that he''s a dragon was a great sin.


    Luo Yan nced at the other. He suddenly remembered Dusk''s manner of speaking when he still had amnesia. Nowadays, Dusk was acting like a serious old man. Luo Yan quite missed the cute little dragon who couldn''t be honest with his feelings.


    But back to what Rowan just said. Of course, he knew that. But right now, using Rowan as a long range attacker would not really benefit them.


    "What are you saying? Of course, we know you''re a mighty dragon. But we need your incredible strength somewhere else," Bai Ze said, acting offended again as if what Rowan said attacked his IQ. "We need you to guard our base and don''t let anyone or anything destroy it. You''re the only one who can do this."


    Luo Yan also thought the same. That''s why he didn''t suggest that Rowan should be their main attacker.


    Rowan''s expression visibly brightened when he heard what Bai Ze said. Then he suddenly cleared his throat and scoffed, acting like he''s not happy by what he heard.


    "Hmp. Since all of you are so helpless, then I will protect the base or whatever."


    Luo Yan secretly gave his cousin a thumbs-up for how the other dealt Rowan. No wonder he managed to get a pact with that dragon. It turned out that he had the talent to ''subdue'' him.


    [Master, isn''t that red lizard too stupid?] – Eclipse said to Luo Yan through telepathy.


    [Not stupid. Just na?ve. But we don''t have to tell him that.] – Luo Yan replied.


    [Don''t worry, Master. Eclipse won''t. Eclipse also knows that we need that red lizard to win.]


    He ruffled Eclipse''s hair as a response.


    "But we''re still back at our original problem," Bai Ze said with a sigh, pertaining to theirck of long range attacker.


    "Aren''t there still us?" Luo Yan said, the expression on his face was the total opposite of Bai Ze. "Rowan will defend the crystal, Eclipse will activate the traps to increase our defense, and the two of us will do all the attacking."


    "You do know it isn''t really as simple as that, right?" Bai Ze said with a raised brow.


    "I know. That''s why we''re here to n. Don''t worry, I don''t n to lose. We''ll win this battle no matter what."


    Bai Ze looked at his cousin. The other''s eyes not only have a yful glint but also a determined one. He couldn''t help but also feel a bitpetitive.


    "Then, do you have a n?"


    Luo Yan grinned. "Yes."


    -----


    On the other side, there had been nothing but silence.


    Although it''s not obvious, Shen Ji Yun was still sulking inside because Luo Yan didn''t choose him. He wanted to be on the same time as the other but Luo Yan picked Bai Ze instead. That''s what all he could think of for the first few minutes.


    "Are we not even going to try to have a meeting?" Luo Jin asked irritably.


    He also wanted to team up with his brother but he instead got Shen Ji Yun. His only constion was that Su Yuqi was on the same team.
