Season 3: Chapter 294. The Beginning of the End (1)
"Ah, in the end, Liu Bei managed to set up some defenses! Cookie might have made a bit of a mistake!"
China had bought itself enough time with a last-ditch tactic, giving Liu Bei the time needed to prepare the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation with around 100 soldiers.
"Actually, instead of amassing 200 troops to go in, Joseon should've just charged straight for the palace!"
"Ah... you're right!"
"To be fair, that's easier said than done. Most people can't do that when they actually get there!"
"Yes! It's a common mistake in RTS games when facing a relatively stronger opponent. You start overthinking, wondering if there’s something more waiting. As the battle drags on, your concentration wears down!"
"Yes, exactly. As the underdog, you can’t help but worry! Your opponent isn't just anyone. It’s China’s Liu Bei! Naturally, you think he’s got one last trick up his sleeve and Liu Bei counted on that! He bought himself enough time to complete the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation..."
"Whoaaaa!"
Cheers erupted from the Chinese crowd. Nothing special had happened yet. They just felt thrilled by the sight of the formation itself. It seemed the Chinese commentators were mentioning something exciting.
"Ah, the reaction from the Chinese side is intense right now."
"Right. It's like they're saying, 'One last move left...!' Am I right?"
"But OrangeKing! What exactly is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation? Why are they so hyped? Could you explain, OrangeKing?"
