Chapter 627:
The fighting between the two sides near Xiaolong Pit was extremely fierce, and it was time to get busy with the explanation work.
At this time, Miller and Wawa passionately began to explain the situation on the field and the characteristics of each hero.
The various performances they performed were all directly described in their mouths at this time in a witty way.
This is also the reason why so many viewers like them. On the one hand, they have been competing in the arena for so many years, and on the other hand, it is because their explanations make people feel very comfortable, rather than like some People just scream and scream, but they don't say anything meaningful.
Although his teammates have fallen, Brother Crystal is still like a lone warrior at this time, doing output alone.
With his powerful output ability, Draven did take care of the front row at this time.
And when the person in the back row faced him, because he had super blood-sucking ability, he was still able to continue to fight when the two sides fought.
But in the end, the puppy threw his support towards the opposite side, smashed Draven into the air, and then followed up with the output, and then pressed his health line into the palm line, and simply followed up. With his ultimate move, when he was killed, the result was already determined.
After Draven fell to the ground, it meant that OMG had no power to resist at all, so in the end, EDG's big guy sued the two sides and played two for five.
The two front rows of Factory Director and Holy Spear Brother are really too tough, and Gnar's entry also put huge pressure on Brother Crystal,
So much so that at this time, he, the fat Delai Wen, when fighting in the field, most of the damage was done to the two front rows.
It's not like he never thought about targeting the back row directly, but Jian Jian and Xiao Xiao were very careful in their positions, not giving the other side any chance to get close to the turn.
It was also for this reason that they were defeated directly at this time.
If his damage can be dealt to the back row, then the back row will be dealt with first, and the game will naturally be won easily.
But it is obvious that EDG has a three-core lineup after all, and at this time, the three C-positions are attacking at the same time, which indeed proves that the output of three people is more fierce than the output of one person.
No matter how impressive this Draven hero is, it is still difficult to make up for the numerical disadvantage.
After defeating the opponent, they simply took down the dragon without any effort.
Although the three little dragons did not bring much economic value to them, whether it was symbolic or as trophies, they naturally insisted on taking them down at this time, not to mention the little dragons after all. It has attribute bonuses, so it seems that the actual benefits are not much, but the invisible gains are the most attractive.
This is why everyone has to fight for the dragon.
Although the little dragons don't seem to provide much economy, and the effect is not that powerful before gathering four dragons, there are still many people who go directly to fight for it.
The main reason is because the dragon can add additional attribute bonuses. In this way, after everyone is equipped to the maximum, the addition of these additional attributes by the dragon will be the key to determining the outcome. .
In the early stage, the attributes added by Xiaolong didn't seem to be a big deal, but the later the time passed, the intensity of these attributes increased by Xiaolong became more critical.
Not only because of the increase in attributes, but more importantly, when the improvement of the 6 divine equipment has reached the limit, the increased attributes of these little dragons will be extra.
So it is naturally very critical, not to mention that in addition to this, after Long Heng appeared, there was still the existence of this ancient dragon. Once they can get the ancient dragon, then when anyone faces them Obviously, they can only be beaten by others. Obviously everyone has a deep understanding of this. It is also for this reason that the competition for Xiaolong is naturally quite fierce.
At this time, everyone has their own ideas and knows what they should do in the future.
So at this time, I am naturally proceeding according to my own ideas. After this wave of team battles, for EDG people, the rest of their lives will naturally be quite comfortable.
Not only because he had the upper hand in the following time, but more importantly because he directly defeated the opponent and completely wiped out the team, and he still won a complete victory, only at the cost of two people. That’s all.
The front row is supposed to stand at the front to see the opponent's output, so it is normal to die at this time. As long as you can ensure that there are no problems in your back row, it is considered a success.
So at this time, it was natural for the front row to complete their tasks honestly. At this time, Jian Jian and Puppy successfully stood down.
Especially the simple Syndra, just now, she finally succeeded in killing him directly with Brother Crystal. Not only did she kill him, but more importantly, after killing him, she obtained the reward from him. gold.
So with the extra economic income, the situation will naturally be much better for them. The more important thing is that after simply going back to replenish the equipment, their output will be even more rewarded. In this case, the threat to Brother Crystal will be even greater.
Of course, Brother Crystal also got a double kill after all, so it’s not like he did nothing at all at this time. What’s more important is that he killed Gnar and extracted his bounty, so Overall, his financial income is also very good.
Although overall, their entire team is at a disadvantage, but if it is just an individual aspect, Brother Crystal's economy is really not lower than that of Jian Jian and Xiao Xiao.
Therefore, Draven still maintains a strong output ability at this time, and it is precisely for this reason that OMG still retains its strong competitiveness at this time.
Therefore, when facing OMG at this time, we actually have to be careful here and absolutely not give the opponent the slightest chance, otherwise it may directly overturn against the wind.
After the two sides finished this wave of team battles, OMG's people went back to resurrect. After EDG's people took down the dragon at this time, they also needed to go back for supplies.
After all, it seems that they are standing at the back, but in fact, EDG also paid a huge price for winning the team battle just now.
The status of the puppies and the others was also directly suppressed. After all, although at the last moment, Brother Crystal was simply killed instantly, but before he was killed instantly, he just threw a few axes in the past and was directly killed. The condition of the remaining EDG players has been crushed.
After all, Draven's output here is very explosive, so anyone has to be careful when facing him. Once he is given enough output environment, he can really point it out. Just like this, it will be an instant kill.
Regarding this, they naturally have a deep understanding of this at this time.
So when your own condition is not particularly good, you can naturally only go back and make arrangements at this time. First, update your own condition, and by the way, convert the economy gained from you into equipment. In this way, , I will become even more powerful in the future.
Looking at his blacked-out screen, Brother Jingshu didn’t feel anything special.
At this time, you have to think about it. You should increase your combat effectiveness so that you can have stronger output in the future and kill the people in front of you more quickly and directly. , so I thought that my third piece of equipment would be the final whisper. In this way, with the armor-piercing equipment, I could quickly eliminate the front row.
Just now, he wasted a lot of time because of the two front rowers. If he has enough output and can deal with the factory director and Holy Spear brother more quickly, then he will have enough power by then. To deal with the rest of EDG in the best possible state, I will naturally not give him the slightest chance.
He knew this very well.
So at this time, it is natural to show off all your strengths.
So at this time, he naturally continued to improve his combat effectiveness. As for defensive equipment and the like, it was not within his scope of consideration.
After all, a Draven does not need defensive equipment to support the scene at this time, so what he needs to do most at this time is to increase his offensive power as much as possible.
Regarding this point, Brother Holy Spear and the others did not think too much about this at this time. After all, as long as Gnar and Piggy have enough defense, they can naturally improve themselves as much as possible when facing the opponent. The combat effectiveness allows you to hold on for more time in the front.
In this way, it will naturally cause the other party to have more headaches when facing them.
At this time, they still have a fairly deep understanding of this.
If they had been able to hold on for a while longer when facing Brother Crystal's output, they would have left the opponent at a loss.
In this way, they can easily win the game directly, and it is precisely because they fell to the ground quickly that they gave Brother Crystal the opportunity to continue his output.
As a result, his back row was in front of the opponent, and he was hit all of a sudden.
Now that they have gone back and replenished their equipment, they will naturally be able to carry it better, so generally speaking, the two sides have been fighting back and forth.
Although EDG has a huge advantage, the economy is thought to be very huge, but because it is not like usual, a certain person suddenly emerges and directly takes up a huge advantage, so in fact everyone is one step ahead at this time. Click.
For reasons that are not too obvious, they do not have a particularly obvious advantage, so they do not seem to be that strong when fighting with the opponent.
No matter what, they finally won the team battle at this time.
So every time they fight, they can gain more economic advantages, so unknowingly, the gap between themselves and the opponent has been greatly widened.
Like just now, Brother Holy Spear and the others did fall, but their side naturally gained more economy. In addition, they also directly controlled the important wild area resource Xiaolong.
Once the delay continues, the target will be the dragon.
Even if you don't get the big dragon, as long as you get the fourth little dragon and have the dragon soul, your attributes of these little dragons will be doubled by then.
In this way, the gap between him and his opponent will naturally become more apparent, and this one is the Fire Dragon Soul.
Once the Fire Dragon Soul is obtained, they will naturally be able to live a very comfortable life. It is also for this reason that at this time, for them, they will naturally be able to relax in the future. Loosely suppressing the other party, unable to move at all.
The fight between the two sides has actually been doomed to this point. At this time, the initiative has completely fallen into the hands of EDG.
In the past, Jian Jian was still in a lazy state, thinking of putting the responsibility of output on his teammates.
But just now, not only did I see a lot of output, but I also dealt very high damage.
The same is true, so it will be easier for them to harvest later.
But after all, Gnar is just a front-line hero. Although it is very smooth, it can indeed turn the tide, but after all, they still have to face the threat of Brother Crystal.
And if Delevingne can provide himself with a certain opportunity in the front, then he can basically smash the opponent's offensive like a powerful force in the follow-up.
So naturally I was thinking very strongly at this time.
It is also because of this reason that for the people on EDG, they have to be careful and never give the other party more opportunities.
If it is Crystal If my equipment gets better and better, then the situation will be even worse.
Once the front row cannot withstand it, if he has enough output space at that time, when facing a few crispy back rows, he can directly crush their attacks completely in a few or two strokes.
After all, even if the back row output is strong, Draven's blood-sucking ability is very fierce, so he can deal with their damage. Once this happens, the result will be quite bad for EDG. .
It is precisely for this reason that the two sides have been fighting back and forth at this time.
But they are both cautious and very restrained.
Because they all know that if one inadvertently gives the other party a chance at this time, the result will obviously be quite bad for them, and each of them has a very deep understanding of this.
At this time, simply sit in the middle and continue to suppress Leng Shao.
After all, it was precisely because of the progress of the burning just now that they were pushed aside before marching, so that the position was greatly restricted, and the monkey was given the opportunity to enter the field.
So the restricted EDG had no way to keep up with the output at the beginning. As a result, Brother Crystal dealt tons of damage at the beginning, and then they were free to counterattack later. , people have already made a profit.
Otherwise, with their strong output rate, they would not have given the opponent such a chance.
But no matter how you put it, in fact, it has been used to this extent. At this time, they can only try their best to bring the situation back. Although they are simply suppressed at this time, resulting in It is difficult for him to have room to perform, but in any case, Leng Shao is also a relatively top player after all, and he still has good output ability at this time. If he is not careful, he may still be overturned by the opponent.
So the best choice at this time is to suppress it directly during the laning, so that he can't move at all.
In addition, when he is facing the lane in the middle, he can rely on his powerful output ability to directly force out his ultimate move.
If the Czar does not have a ultimate move, it will naturally be difficult to have room to play during team battles.
This is how they can gain a firm foothold here.
Both sides naturally knew what to do to achieve this point. He chose to fish before because he felt that his teammates could beat him, but since at this time, although his teammates have certain abilities, Advantages, but not the final word, then as the rhythm point of the team, he will naturally grow up at this time.
And he also has enough strength to do this, so at this time, simply standing up actually means directly taking over and occupying
It's just that at this time, Leng Shao also knew very well that he was no match for him when facing Simple, so what he had to do was to try his best to ensure that he had the ultimate move in his hand.
In this way, during team battles, I will be able to have a certain amount of room to play.
As for Jian Jian taking the initiative to fight with him at this time, he was not unreasonable. With the existence of the sand soldiers, he directly let the sand soldiers stand in the front, and he did not face him at all.
In this case, it is indeed difficult to tolerate him for a while.
But this is not the past. The reason why Jian Jian did not take the initiative to fight with him was because he did not want to get entangled with him. On the other hand, he wanted to be lazy, so he did not take the initiative to attack him.
But now the situation is completely different. It seems that the Tsar has good output ability, but his damage is mainly concentrated on the sand soldiers. At this time, the damage of the sand soldiers is indeed good, but it is just that.
In terms of explosive ability, it is obviously not comparable to the mage hero.
So at this time, simply go forward and directly target the opponent's output with force. The Czar's damage is indeed very good, but it is just that.
Hitting 1/3 of the health of Jiancheng is already very good, but at this time, Jiancheng really hit him with a set of skills accurately, and instantly beat him to less than half of his health. .
In this case, if your condition gets worse, you will have to be careful when facing a simple person, because if you are not careful, you may be directly caught and killed by a simple person.
As a result, the situation was naturally quite unfavorable for him. After all, I know very well how terrifying a simple output ability is. If I am not careful and I am caught by him, I may directly kill myself with a big move.
Now his blood volume is very ambiguous, considering the difference between being able to be killed and being unable to be killed, but in any case, if we simply play another set next , then there is basically no doubt.
You can beat yourself to a pulp without even using a big move. In this way, whether you go back or are killed, the situation will be completely out of your control.
It's not like he didn't think about taking this opportunity to forcefully target him during the gap period of simple skills. At that time, he had his own ultimate skill and could directly push him back.
But after thinking about it, he finally gave up the idea, because Simple Surgery held a flash of existence, so it was not that easy to threaten Simple at this time.
Furthermore, the cooldown time of small skills is very short. After some duel and entanglement between the two sides, he can actually use his small skills directly.
Once the simple weakling has retreated, push him in place to stun him, and then he can be killed easily with one big move.
In this case, the result would naturally be unbearable for him, so at this time he very wisely distanced himself directly and did not give him a chance to get close to him.
The two of them were already very far apart, and Leng Shao used the sand soldiers as a means of displacement to block the distance between them.
In such a column, if he simply wants to cross the line of troops, it is really not that easy for him to take action.
Looking at him with less than half of his health at this time, Jian Jian knew that he could still find any suitable opportunities for the time being, so he could only give up.
However, although he has not taken the initiative to attack the opponent for the time being, it does not mean that he will just give up. Simply being unable to attack him directly does not mean that he cannot move people over.
At this time, the opponent has been beaten like this. At this time, of course, Jian Jian will take the opportunity to call the factory director over to take action. Even if he jumps over the tower to kill, the pig girl resists the tower, when the time comes, they will It also has powerful output capabilities.
After receiving a simple summons, Director Chang did not hesitate and headed directly towards the middle road.
The main reason is that if they can believe that the middle lane is suppressed, the situation will indeed be much easier for them.
With this follow-up, they will naturally be able to easily take advantage of the field.
For this reason, the factory director was temporarily financially aware of this, so at this time he did not hesitate at all and came over directly.
The Tsar had huddled under the defense tower before, but when Pig Girl arrived, it was already doomed. He didn't have any space at all.
Pig Girl doesn’t even need to use her big move to start, she just pushes forward. The pigskin is there, so when the defense tower is outputting, it is impossible to kill directly there.
So with the pig girl standing by and simply keeping up with the output, the weak one retreated and was knocked unconscious on the spot, so that Leng Shao could only stand there and be attacked by the two of them.
But fortunately at this time, the simple damage under the defense tower will not kill him directly. At this time, Simple does not want to use his ultimate move, so he can only use his own small skills to cooperate. Use normal attacks to output.
This gave Leng Shao an opportunity to operate, so at this time, after seeing that the opponent did not use a big move to kill him, he naturally knew what the opponent's plan was.
Master Leng did not hesitate any longer at this time and directly used his ultimate move, Wall of Forbidden Forces, to push people away and give himself a chance to deal damage.
Use your ultimate move to directly knock people out, and then the sand soldier disembodied in quicksand and ran directly behind the defense tower. In this way, you finally managed to escape and ascend to heaven.
Seeing that the Tsar's ultimate move was directly forced out by him, Jian Jian gave it up and pushed out of the defense tower with the factory director.
Just now, Pig Girl resisted the tower. At this time, she exited the defense tower and she only had half health left.
Jian Jian, because he did not attract the hatred of the defense tower, was still at full health at this time.
The director went to the wild area alone, where he cleared wild monsters to restore his own state, while Jian Jian continued to advance with his troops.
Except for the Tsar's ultimate move, it means that for a long time in the future, the opponent will have no way to attack them, so this means that the situation has fallen into their control.
So simply send the troops under the defense tower and then cooperate with the factory director to catch people in the bottom lane.
Leng Shao, who went back to replenish his status, naturally knew what the other party was planning after seeing his movements. It was just a pity that he obviously had no way to stop him at this time.
Even after he went back to replenish his health, he immediately rushed to get off work, wanting to support Brother Crystal and the others, but Leng Shao himself knew very well that the other party had already made up his mind to kill him first. After his ultimate move was forced out, he was already fully prepared.
When Jian Jian and Chang Chang started to move, Crystal Brother and the others in the bottom lane were already on guard. At the same time, the jungle monkey also moved towards the lower half of the area immediately.
After all, they cannot choose to retreat directly at this time. Once they retreat, it means that the defense will no longer exist, so they thought that at this time, the two of them have not yet arrived, and the monkey is approaching quickly. past.
At that time, in the three-on-four situation under the defense tower, with its own support and monkeys, it will give itself the opportunity to fight for output. For Crystal, she actually has a good output ability.
So it is not impossible to counterattack at this time. In addition, there is also the Czar halfway up the road, so they have enough confidence to solve this wave of team battles.
Looking at the opponent's approach, this is what EDG wants for the time being.
In fact, what they are most afraid of is that Brother Crystal and the others will run away directly. Although they say they can take down the defense tower, obviously compared with their purpose, this is really not able to maximize their benefits. of.
Now that the opponent does not choose to leave voluntarily, it means that they can not only win this wave of team battles, but also obtain a large amount of economy, which directly further widens the gap between themselves and the opponent. big.
The actions of both sides were very fast, simple and growing, and they soon reached the lower half. And because the other party chose to follow the rules, the puppies and the others had already sent their troops over.
At this time, seeing that the opponent's monkey had not arrived yet, the factory director did not hesitate at all and directly made a big move to spearhead the opponent's movement.
Zhu Mei’s ultimate move throws her away, directly unleashing the skills of Shengyu Junge and the others. After all, once they are stopped in place by Zhu Mei’s ultimate move, no matter how powerful their output is at that time, Ability, obviously there will be no room for manipulation at that time, so we must first dodge the written ultimate move.
Seeing that Pig Girl’s ultimate move failed easily, they didn’t think that although Pig Girl’s ultimate move was useless, they ensured that the opponent’s key skills were forced out, so that they only had to keep up with the output in the future.
The factory director took the lead and stepped forward to shoulder the output of the defense tower. At this time, the puppy used his Poke Ball to throw the support over, directly knocking the opponent away and a team battle was about to begin.
At this time, the opponent's monkey had already turned invisible and pounced on him, and then used his ultimate move to knock the person into the air.
So that at this time, the pig girl can only be taken off by the monkey, and then hold on to the damage of the defense tower, but at this time, she simply pushes the dark magic ball directly, and then the weak one pushes three and one push to give him Fainted in place, the monkey had no subsequent output, so at this time, the various skills on both sides were fighting fiercely.
Simple is not the only one at this time. If a new person cannot do this, then he is really blind.
At this time, the fight between the two sides was extremely fierce, with various skills thrown around. After recovering, Brother Crystal also began to fight back. It must be mentioned that Draven, with the current equipment, The output ability is indeed very terrifying. It easily completed the suppression of EDG and suppressed a large number of their choices in an instant.
But no matter what, EDG has more people at this time, and there are these two output positions. Therefore, the damage caused at this time is naturally very exaggerated.
After all, Young Master Leng was still halfway up the road at this time, and it would take some time to get closer.
It doesn’t take long for Young Master Leng to reach the battlefield directly at this time, but in fact, this period of time is the difference between life and death. One less person means that EDG can fight stronger. .
I only saw that under the simple attack, the opponent's health volume was decreasing crazily.
After the monkey was knocked unconscious, it meant that he could only be beaten passively. Draven had a strong output ability, but the problem was that he was very fragile.
I didn’t see it, so at this time, Jian Jian and Puppy were able to output without any pressure.
Therefore, in fact, at this time, their side was able to fight extremely fiercely, so that the opponent's health was going crazy. The monkey fell to the ground first, and then only Draven was left alive.
Everyone focused their firepower directly on Brother Crystal. Finally, he lowered his blood volume and simply used his ultimate move to finish.
After seeing Delevingne fall to the ground, and Leng Shao had just arrived at the second tower in the middle, and was close to the first tower in front, and saw that all his teammates had fallen, he knew that there was no need to get closer. It's past.
Because even if I get close at this time, it is actually just the last time. After all, the opponent is still in very good condition at this time.
The status of the two c positions, Jian Jian and Xiao Guo, is perfect.
Moreover, the small skills can be transferred very quickly, so once he dares to go over, after being stopped in place, basically a tsar can be easily killed.
So Leng Shao passed through the wall directly and decisively, preparing to return to his middle lane, and replenished his troops first.
At least he can reduce his losses by then. As for the bottom lane at this time, he didn't even think about taking a look.
Killing three of the opponent's people, and leaving them with only Piggy's remaining HP. At this time, he easily pushed down the defense tower, and then swarmed into the opponent's wild area. , clean up the wild monsters on the opposite side.
If you do this, you will be able to eat everything easily in the future.
For their side, they completed their mission at this time, directly killing the three people on the opposite side, and also pushed down a defense tower by the way, so that now they can easily and directly kill them. It widened the gap between him and the other party.
For this, Brother Crystal and the others naturally know that they have been killed several times in a row. For Draven, the rhythm is naturally very short.
But fortunately, when he was assassinated last time, his glory value had been extracted, so now when he is online, he does not have many layers of glory accumulated.
Even if you were killed at this time, it wouldn't be that distressing. Although it is still uncomfortable, no matter what, it is really difficult to deal with the opponent so close to you at this time.
Especially simply go first in the middle and directly force the Tsar's ultimate move out, which is to foreshadow this wave of team battles. Even if the Tsar can successfully reach the front battlefield, there is actually no ultimate move. He is also useless on the frontal battlefield.
Jian Jian was originally guarding against this move, but in the end Leng Shao failed to reach the front battlefield.
It just allows them to kill each other more easily.
If the Tsar arrives on the frontal battlefield, it will be possible to directly counterattack the people on their side in a four-on-four situation, relying on a defensive tower.
When the time comes, there will be one more person for output, and Pig Girl will not be able to carry it for such a long time. In this case, she can only retreat first, and the opponent's output is stronger, and one person can have multiple outputs. Time means simplicity. They can only assign people to carry the tower, and the result will be completely different by then.
But now this variable does not appear, so that they easily killed three people in the bottom lane together, and pushed down the defense tower at the same time, and did not pay any personnel cost on their own side. , so it is natural to win a great victory at this time.
After completing this wave of side support, I simply chose to go back and update my equipment, and directly took out the magic penetration rod.
At this current point in time, owning a three-piece suit is actually a very exaggerated thing.
But because his equipment is relatively cheap, it is not unusual to have three pieces at this time.
The main reason is because the murder book is relatively cheap, only costing more than 1,000 yuan, so it is not unusual to have such equipment at this time.
After returning, Brother Jingshu looked at his own condition and thought deeply at this time, so he took out Xiao Qingyu first.
This means that the speed at which you play in the front row will become faster and faster.
In this way, the other party will have to be more careful when facing him.
Once it falls into his control, he can easily kill the opponent.
Just now, if the opponent hadn't blocked his position directly and took turns taking his own damage, it would actually be very easy if Pig Girl was the only one to attack him and take the damage from the defense tower. Killed.
It's just a pity that the position has been stuck, so that he was unable to attack the pig girl. In the end, he was taken turns to carry the tower, and his own damage was directly offset.
As a result, when a large amount of damage hit him, his status was reduced, and when he finished with a simple big move, he had no room to operate and was killed directly.
Regarding this situation, Brother Crystal is actually quite helpless.
At this time, he felt that he was full of fighting power but unable to exert it, and the feeling of being kited was extremely uncomfortable.
It's just that a Draven has no displacement ability, so there is no way to get close to the opponent. Even if there is a ruthless pursuit, it can accelerate himself.
But Syndra is present. Once cooled down by his skills, the weak ones will retreat and be sent out, and they will be directly fixed in place and punished. The situation will naturally be exactly the same.
So in fact, it was already doomed when Jian Jian arrived. The situation was very bad for them.
But fortunately, even if he was killed once, he still retained strong combat power, which was a rare consolation.
Brother Jingshuang doesn’t have much money when he goes back, so there is no way to add anything more.
At this time, he only has two and a half pieces, but it seems that he only has two and a half pieces. In fact, it is equivalent to a three-piece suit. After all, at this time, he has endless plus a blood-drinking sword. , these two pieces of equipment are very expensive, plus a little whisper, if the three pieces of equipment are replaced with ordinary equipment, they are actually worth three pieces.
This is also why Draven's combat effectiveness is so explosive at this time.
After all, the real economy is directly here. If he can't even deal such damage, it is really in vain. He has eaten up so much economy.
No matter what, for Brother Crystal at this time, he maintains a strong combat effectiveness. As long as the opponent is not like now, if four or five people come directly to target, there is actually only two or three people. In a confrontation, he still retains strong combat effectiveness.
(End of this chapter)
