Chapter 51 The Pulling Vanguard
Mu Chun, controlling Akshan, activated his W ability to become invisible and rushed to the top lane, with Prince following closely behind using his scanner.
Suddenly, the prince's scan revealed the location of his eyes, and Jiejie spoke up, "He has eyes."
Flandre also noticed that the river vision suddenly went black, and manipulated Galio to retreat, saying, "They're here with me, you guys can gank bot lane."
"Stay a moment, stay a moment." Seeing Galio retreat, Mu Chun hurriedly spoke up.
After saying that, Orianna used QW to attack Galio and then stepped forward to auto-attack.
Galio didn't lose much health, nor did he stop retreating.
Seeing this, Mu Chun used Akshan's E to hook onto the wall and swung towards Galio, locking onto Galio with his ultimate in mid-air, shouting, "Give me your ultimate, give me your ultimate!"
The moment Akshan locked onto him, Galio used his E skill and took a step back.
Orianna's E was timely given to Akshan, who unleashed his ultimate ability in mid-air.
Seeing Galio step back, Mu Chun canceled his E skill and forced himself to land next to Galio.
"Bang!"
The moment he landed, Mu Chun activated Flash, and Akshan Flashed in front of Galio and was knocked up by his E.
"Use Flash! I don't want Galio to get away!" Guan Zeyuan shouted.
Akshan knocks the enemy into the air and lands, then uses QA to unleash three hits, followed by Orianna's ultimate!
The river prince emerges, uses EQ to knock up the enemy, and Akshan uses his double pistols followed by an A to unleash a triple strike.
Galio instantly used his W to taunt Akshan and Jarvan IV, and Orianna used her W as well, leaving Galio with very little health.
As Clockwork charged forward with a QA combo, Galio collapsed completely.

Poppy, who was tower-dived in the bottom lane, died almost simultaneously, with only a low-health Pyke escaping.

Meanwhile, the Vanguard will refresh in one and a half minutes.
Tarzan, looking at the dark terrain in the upper half of the map and the Clockwerk eating a tower platter, said, "Hold the Vanguard in the upper half, don't let them take it so quickly."
Except for Sylas, everyone else in the bottom lane chose to recall.
"AL is going back to defend the upper half of the map, and the vanguard is going to farm. So IG actually came out slightly ahead. Jinx and Talon didn't get much of the map before they had to go back," Guan Zeyuan said.
GuGu chimed in, "Jinx should be positioned in the mid lane for this defensive play. Sylas has been pacing the lane to provide support and hasn't been farming much."
Mu Chun returned to the city to replenish his equipment and then went back to the mid lane.
As soon as they reached the first tower, Jinx was already clearing minions online.
He didn't rush to contest the lane. He glanced at the minimap and saw Sylas in the bottom lane, with the jungler and support appearing in the top river to put pressure on Orianna.
Looking at the panel again, Jinx had an extra serrated dagger.
Pike caught up from behind.
"We can try to take down Jinx, he doesn't have Flash." Mu Chun pinged Jinx.
Meiko nodded. "Okay."
"I'll get close to him first, then you can go for it," Mu Chun continued.
After saying that, Akshan activated his W to become invisible and slowly moved towards the minion wave, hugging the wall.
The moment Mu Chun approached Jinx, he spoke rapidly, "Come out, come out."
"Axon has already reached Jinx's vicinity," Guan Zeyuan said.
At this moment, Hope is maneuvering Jinx to cut cannon A and move the enemy back.
Pyke's W mark suddenly appeared at his feet. He hurriedly retreated, and the moment Pyke appeared, he used E, shouting, "Help me, help me!"
But he was still hooked back by Parker Q.
"Pyke activated his W to become invisible and hooked Jinx back. AL's jungler and support are rushing to mid lane to rescue Jinx."
Mu Chun followed up, Akshan appeared and used QA to hit three rings, then used both guns to hit with Strong Attack and Siren, followed by E to swing over.
Three bullets hit in mid-air, triggering three rings and a siren again.
After landing, A accelerates forward one step and then fires both guns.
Jinx was instantly reduced to low health, entering Pyke's kill range!
Zac E jumps out onto the river.
"Bang!"
Lulu flashes to give Jinx her ultimate.
"Jinx, Jinx!" Mu Chun shouted, maneuvering Akshan forward to unleash a powerful combo of dual pistols followed by an attack.
Jinx was just one hit away from being within Pyke's kill range again.
"He's used his ultimate! Jinx is alive! Akali didn't want to give up and took down another Kraken. Pyke can kill her with just an auto-attack followed by his ultimate. He still has his E. Jinx is going to die." Guan Zeyuan became increasingly excited.
Meiko glanced at the arriving AL jungler and support, and Jinx who was just one step away from being killed. He hesitated for a moment, just about to use Pyke's E to chase after them.
Zac uses Q to control Pyke, Lulu follows up with W to polymorph Jinx, and Jinx escapes.
"They're coming down! AL's jungler and support!" Guan Zeyuan shouted excitedly.
Momo's emotions were also agitated by the situation, "Pyke didn't use his E to chase, so Vanguard's AL still has a chance!"
Mu Chun watched as Jinx escaped under the tower to recall, so he had no choice but to use Zac to speed up and create distance.
Akshan withdrew from the defensive tower to clear the wave, and Mu Chun turned around to look at Meiko beside him.
"Little sister," are you going to hesitate like this?
In the end, he didn't say it out loud. After all, Parker was someone he wanted, and Meiko had already told him that he wasn't very good at it.
Fourteen minutes later, the Vanguard spawned.
Jinx has also returned to the mid lane, and in the last engagement, she successfully gained vision advantage in the upper half of the map.
"Let's take the lead first," Jiejie suggested.
Meiko responded, "Okay, let's fight directly."
"IG took the lead first, and AL's vision has spotted some movement," Guan Zeyuan said.
Tarzan noticed in time that the prince was attacking the vanguard, "We'll just stall until the dragon spawns, then we can trade with them."
"Okay, I'll get right there." Hope said, maneuvering Jinx to fire the cannon and kill a few minions before heading straight for the Dragon Pit.
"Jinx is over there," Mu Chun reported in time, but he couldn't move.
Akashic's wave clear isn't as fast as Jinx's, and his only AoE is a low-damage Q. His wave clear is only faster than Vayne's.
"Let's stop for now," Jiejie instructed.
Mu Chun had just finished clearing the lane when his teammates stopped attacking the Rift Herald, so he decided to push the lane one more time.
Zac and Jinx arrived at the Dragon Pit, where the two sides were pulling each other's aggro. In the end, the Vanguard, unable to bear the humiliation, retreated back to the Dragon Pit to heal.
"Goal achieved," Tarzan said. "Let's go, let's go."
When the AL team came down, Mu Chun had already pushed the minion wave under the tower and was about to use his ultimate to hit Jinx with his third passive.
Lulu turned into a sheep without saying a word and left.
Mu Chun retreated, then used W to become invisible and moved along the wall to reach the Vanguard.
"Let's attack quickly, don't let them drag this out until the dragon spawns, let's switch to the dragon." Jiejie said as Akshan arrived.
"IG is back for the second time, and they've once again woken up the vanguard. Akshan is also here," Guan Zeyuan said.
Then, using the same familiar tactic, Zac and Jinx acted as vanguards to draw aggro, while Lulu used Polymorph on Jarvan IV.
Vanguard was pulled away by AL once again.
"The vanguard can't take it anymore, are they going to fight or not?" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
"And Akshan has also gone there. Jinx pushed the mid lane minions in, and now nobody's dealing with it," Drum Drum continued.
Mu Chun had no choice but to rush to the middle lane to defend the tower. "I'm going back to the middle first."
With Akali absent, neither the prince nor Pyke could handle the AL's harassment, and the vanguard was put on hold.
At 16 minutes and 9 seconds, the third small dragon, the Wind Dragon, spawned.
With the objective achieved, Tarzan immediately gave the order: "Take down the dragon, give them the Vanguard."
