Chapter 403 Waiting for the Fated One
At the LCK commentary booth, the commentator, "Roar Emperor," shouted while watching the skirmish in the top lane, "Ah? Khan is in danger! We can't fight anymore! We have to retreat, Khan... No, we can't run towards the river! Gragas is coming! Gragas is coming!"
The roaring emperor's voice carried a hint of despair as he watched the Khan, who had just over two hundred health points, stepping unknowingly into the graveyard that EDG had prepared for him.
Khan, lacking a god-like perspective, watched Camille chasing after him, his finger already on Flash, ready to anticipate Li Chen's W and use A-Flash at any moment.
Just as Khan was focusing all his attention on Camille, a pregnant figure suddenly flew out of the shadows of the river.
Want a drink? My treat!
Stun him, then a basic attack.
W tactical sweep.
Camille got First Blood!
Although they caught someone this time, Li Chen wasn't very satisfied: "Didn't I tell you to expose yourself before you rammed into them?"
Li Chen's biggest gain from this was forcing Fiora to use Flash, but unfortunately Khan didn't react in time.
"How was I supposed to know he wouldn't react in time and didn't even use Flash!" The factory manager rolled his eyes at the screen, then turned and left.
Li Chen said with dissatisfaction, "You're getting upset over a few words of criticism? Have I been too lenient with you, or are you just going through a rebellious phase?"
Factory manager: ...
If possible, he would really suggest that baseball bats be allowed in the game.
Compared to EDG's unfulfilled desires, the team's voice chat in Longzhu became a one-man whitewashing session for Khan.
"Wait, how come this Gragas is here? How can he start with blue buff in the top half of the map? Cuzz, why didn't you give me any information? It was supposed to be Camille who got solo killed."
Cuzz was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. The camera panned upwards, and Cuzz, not knowing what had happened, thought that the Khan had really died because he had been captured.
"I'm sorry, Donghe, I didn't expect the factory manager to be playing in the upper bracket." Cuzz, being of low status, could only apologize first.
"First Blood! C-God got First Blood! The top lane is in a good position now. And with this minion wave, it'll be a bit late for Khan to come online. C-God will be level 2 soon, so he can save a teleport to go to lane later," Miller said excitedly.
Guan Zeyuan was about to speak up and demonstrate his professionalism when Rita preemptively said, "C-God got first blood at level one. This scene is all too familiar. Even though the opponent was Khan, he still managed to do it. The top lane is going to be a one-sided stomp from now on."
I really liked what C said: Khan is still very strong.
[C speaks: I'm going to fight until I have no regrets!]
[Khan: I'm sweating too, my neck is sweating!]
[I don't think this was something the factory manager caught doing, how can they brag about it?]
[Ah, right, right, the Khan naturally dislikes farming minions; he prefers to run towards the river when he's low on health at level one.]
[The scene is familiar, and the ending is correct!]
Khan's death caused the top lane to unfold exactly as he had envisioned.
The blue team already had an advantage in the minion wave, and now Li Chen quickly pushed the wave forward. By the time Khan revived and teleported back to the ground, the top lane minion wave was already beyond saving.
Seeing the level 2 Camille standing in the minion wave, Khan could only call for the jungler again: "Come help me push the minion wave. We can't let him push this wave under the tower, otherwise top lane might not be able to fight."
Cuzz quickly responded: "I understand, Donghe. Wait for me a moment, I'll go up after I finish the red level 3."
In this game, Cuzz chose a jungle route that starts with the blue buff and goes up. He is currently farming the red buff and will reach level three after he finishes it.
What he didn't know was that in the black mist behind the red buff wall, there was a drunkard with a big belly, spying on him as he bullied the red buff.
As the red buff's health dropped to the execution threshold for Smite, unsurprisingly, the factory manager used his E skill to jump over the wall and use Smite to take down the red buff that had been humiliated by royalty.
"Got it! Clearlove got the red buff. In that case, Jarvan IV won't be able to reach level three. Clearlove will even have to keep fighting. His Q slows Jarvan IV, and his health isn't as good as Gragas'. He can't win. His E skill has a long cooldown, and he might have to use Flash."
As soon as Miller finished speaking, Rita, who had been observing Li Chen's movements on the minimap, hurriedly said, "C-God has moved and is heading towards the Stone Golem. Fiora is here too, but he's still only level one."
Meanwhile, the two players in the mid lane were also making their move, and a chaotic skirmish in the jungle was inevitable.
Khan knew they couldn't win this fight in the jungle, and kept sending messages urging him: "Run, run back home, don't fight this fight."
However, Cuzz was in the red buff bush just now, and after realizing that the situation was not good, his first instinct was to move towards the bottom lane second tower.
As Li Chen closed the distance, ignoring the Fiora who was Q'ing at him, he decisively used his E skill to hang on the wall in preparation for his attack.
At this point, the prince was still some distance from the wall of the second tower; if he used Flash directly, he would definitely crash into the wall.
However, as Li Chen used his second Flash E, Cuzz had no choice but to use Flash downwards.
However, he had no chance to escape from this position. Li Chen controlled Camille's W to sweep the outer edge and hit the Prince, and then, together with Gragas, they chased after him and killed the low-health Prince with auto-attacks.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
The Khan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Li Chen take the prince's head.
Even if he was very confident and thought Li Chen's skills were inferior to his, he couldn't possibly believe that he could beat Camille, who had two heads in three minutes.
As Fiora turned around on the spot, the two mid-laners also went back to their respective bases to continue farming minions and developing their lanes.
After securing the kill and buff, Li Chen returned to his lane with the Gragas, quickly cleared the minion wave, pushed it into the turret, and then slowly retreated into the fog of war.
When Li Chen called on the factory manager to help clear the wave, Khan didn't think much of it. He felt that he had already reached level two, had multiple Flash spells, and was in good condition. He thought it was normal for Li Chen to be afraid of being solo killed and call for help.
What really gives Khan a headache is how to deal with Fiora who controls the lane, because with his wave clear speed, no matter what he does, the minion wave will inevitably be controlled by the blue side.
However, from God's perspective, the EDG top and jungle duo, after clearing the minion wave, did not return to base, but instead turned around and sneaked back into the red side's top half of the map.
"Judging by his speed, he's already out. If he's not at the Stone Golem, he must be at the Bird. Wait a bit, and remember to save the Stone Golem for me. You've got dirty hands." The factory manager instructed as he hurried along.
At the location of the red team's stone golem, there is a ward left by Li Chen. The prince is not seen there, so it is easy to determine that the prince is humiliating the little bird.
The two of them made their way in the dark, taking a detour until they reached the stone statue in the bushes, where they crouched down and waited for their destined one to arrive.
