Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 656

Hearing Juniper’s words, her teammates, who were frantically mashing their keys and sweating profusely, turned to look at her in astonishment.

“Player 1, go defend the left tower. Player 2, hide in the brush,” Juniper commanded, her voice clear and cold, flowing effortlessly from her lips. “Don’t just stand there. Spread out. Didn’t you hear me?”

“Yes, ma'am!”

Juniper’s sharp command snapped them to attention, reminding them of the fear and respect they felt when Demon was in charge.

Digital Sabers, confident that victory was theirs, never expected Neverfall Navigators to mount a last-ditch defense. Fine. If they wanted to prolong the inevitable, they would play along. The game was almost over anyway.

Five minutes later, the smiles on the Digital Sabers players’ faces vanished, replaced by stern concentration.

“Boss, they seem to have changed their strategy on the fly,” one player said into his mic. “They’re targeting all our weaknesses.”

For example, their second player was a support specialist who needed to coordinate with others. Neverfall Navigators deliberately isolated him. It became a 3-on-1 fight. Outnumbered, the support player’s energy was quickly depleted, and he died in the brush.

Then there was their fifth player, a heavy hitter. Neverfall Navigators employed hit-and-run tactics against him. They would suddenly appear, exchange a few blows, and then quickly retreat.

The fifth player was left completely bewildered. Before he could even process what was happening, another group of Neverfall Navigators players would rush in, using the exact same tactic: engage, then retreat.

After a few rounds of this, Digital Sabers’ rhythm was completely thrown off.

What was going on? How did Neverfall Navigators suddenly get so good?

The Digital Sabers players looked across the stage and saw that the girl who had been sitting idly was now speaking, clearly directing the entire team. She was controlling the game without even touching her keyboard?

“Boss, they’re backdooring our base!” one of the players suddenly shouted as the captain was trying to figure things out.
