By the vice president of Crusaders Guild …
A masked figure suddenly appeared, and at the same time, a brilliant blue light flashed with the sound of wow, and an ice ring suddenly appeared in the sight of all people and spread.
With the spread of the ice ring, the blood monster department should fall to the ground …
And all the players were hurt, and at the same time, a layer of frost appeared and entered a state of deceleration …
“！” “！” “！”
This ….. Everyone petrified at the same time!
Chapter 10 Don’t let anyone go!
Quiet!
The Crusaders Guild didn’t have a white gang before something stupid happened. wait for a while started to stay, and even the vice president in charge of mending the knife crossed the star with a dull look and forgot what to do
The fastest reaction after one leng is that Julius Caesar, who has been in charge of directing the real president of the Crusaders’ Guild just now.
Julius Caesar’s mind turned sharply at this moment.
Is it harassment by other guilds?
It shouldn’t be possible. If other guilds harass those guilds, it is absolutely impossible to send a person over. There must be several small teams. Although the patrol officers outside the Crusader Guild can’t monitor every corner perfectly, they are not blind or deaf. If several small teams come, it is absolutely impossible to know that they should have received the report long ago, but they have not reported it until now.
So, is it just that individual scattered players grab the blame?
It’s even harder to understand that the Crusader Guild is the ninth largest guild in China after all. It’s not like anyone who wants to pinch a persimmon will generally disperse. Players will come if they want to hide. How can they dare to do this kind of suicide? Don’t you know that provoking the Crusader Guild is going to be completely washed away?
Caesar can’t help but feel a little depressed at the thought of this. What the hell has happened to his mother recently? Does it mean that the name of the Crusader Guild is not as good as before? How dare anyone come to talk to Tiger Beard? A few days ago, Xiao Su lin xi came, and he hasn’t cleaned up yet. This will come again. What’s going on with such a guy who doesn’t know how to live or die and just rushes to grab the monster?
Xiaosu lin xi is also slightly stunned. She didn’t expect Wu Zhen to dare to do so. There are some praises in her tone and some schadenfreude. I didn’t expect that Bayi bastard is quite courageous, but it’s an idiot. You’re dead and the fairy will not save you.
Brother … will be fine Vivian is silently hold hands.
They stupidly kung fu Wu is a moment didn’t stay extremely cold shock released for the first time in just created fanatic armor strode up and ran at Vivian and Xiao Su lin xi hiding place shouting run! Run!
There are others?
Julius Caesar saw Wu Meng’s modeling with black cloth, and immediately remembered something reported by a colonel not long ago. At present, Xiaosu lin xi has two more companions who cover their faces like her. Is it them?
But seeing Wu Zheng running out quickly, he couldn’t think so much. He quickly roared and ordered, Go across the stars, you stay and continue to direct the brush. There are weirdos at hand and stay with the vice president’s command. Pay attention to the fact that there may be accomplices around and others will stop him for me!
Hearing the order, the Crusaders finally woke up and quickly surrounded them.
It’s a pity that the people in the range of 10 meters away from Wu are in a state of deceleration and stupidly. In a second or two, Wu has thrown them far away for a long distance, and those who are far away from being hit by extreme cold have slowed down. At this moment, Wu wants to be close to the speed running, and he has already come a little.
Julius Caesar soon discovered this and quickly changed his strategy. All archers are assassinated by the old man. Let’s talk about him for a second!
I have to say that Julius Caesar is really a little level. In this emergency, his thoughts are still clear and his orders are decisive. According to his analysis, he can walk among them except stealth. At present, there are thieves in the game, and the blood volume of thieves is generally not much
Although some distance has been drawn now, and it takes 2 seconds for archers to cast spells, it is likely that most archers will be forcibly interrupted because the target exceeds 2 meters before releasing the assassination.
However, in such a big place, the members of the guild are scattered and distributed, and there will always be a few people who are closer to Wu. There will always be a few people who can be released. Once the assassination is high, it will kill anemia thieves, even the thieves with the highest level at present can kill them with up to four assassinations.
When I heard the command, there were archers in the place, and no matter what position or distance, I squatted decisively together. This was an assassination and magic move …
Xiaosu lin xi also unconsciously held her breath.
As an archer, she is familiar with this spell casting, and at the same time, she also has a very accurate judgment on the assassination distance and spell casting. So she glanced at it and combined with Wu’s running speed, she had reached a conclusion in her heart.
Those archers in the field can be sure that few people can successfully cast the assassination, but her previous assassination has caused 15 points of damage to archers with low defense, even if it is possible for the defense … It is only possible that the damage to the armor master may be discounted, but if you remember the assassination converging attack, it should be able to cause about 1 point of damage in an instant, so that even the strongest soldier in the game will definitely be killed by 100 seconds … Is it possible to survive?
In a trance, Wu has also rushed to the front of Xiaosu lin xi and Vivian hiding in the bushes. They haven’t moved yet, and they are angry and anxious. What are you two doing in the trough? Run!
At this time, the twosecond casting has ended with the howls breaking …
Xiaosu lin xi saw lines of dark purple cold light with an arc coming at Wu vest quickly …
The number is … Eleven assassinations!
Xiaosu lin xi has seen the attribute map of the forum’s exposure armor master, and knows that 101 is a unified force, and the amount of blood added will definitely not be less than ten levels. Maybe it is really possible to reach about 1 ultrahigh health. If the defense value is high enough to face assassination, there may be a chance.
But if it’s 11 assassinations …
Wei, let’s go. Xiao Su lin xi took a sympathetic look at Wu, just like looking at a dead man and then turned around decisively without hesitation for a second, regardless of whether Vivian agreed or not, grabbed Vivian’s little hand and lifted her feet and ran away.
Behind Julius Caesar, looking at 11 assassination skills and drawing a beautiful trajectory, he has also shifted his eyes from Wu Shen, but looked at Wu Qian and shouted at the trees with a wave of his hand. He is dead. Leave him alone and continue to chase me. There must be people inside. Don’t let go!
Chapter 11 Master Xin’s rising posture
Eleven dark purple cold lights disappeared into Wu’s back in full view.
Uhhuh!
With a piercing and shrill scream, Wu pa Ji threw himself on the ground motionless.
This bastard … knew he would die. Xiao Su lin xi was pulling Vivian to escape and heard the screams. He already knew the result, but his legs were a little itchy and he quickly covered his ears. I didn’t expect the death screams set by the armor master to be so ugly. It was simply noise.
But his elder sister and brother didn’t … Vivian couldn’t help but look back at the trail.
Xiaosu lin xi Vivian was about to cry and squeezed Vivian’s little hand to comfort her. Wei, don’t be sad. It’s a game. Your brother won’t really die. He will be resurrected somewhere else soon. We should get rid of these people and see your brother again soon.

Gee, I didn’t expect that the two sides should be a close performance in this game, but who expected that mg, a newly reorganized team, would play such a domineering crushing situation in its league debut! Moreover, the opponents they crushed were actually omg teams who just ruled the ball in Star Wars! ！”
I believe that before the game is finished, no one will believe that the omg team, who is so arrogant in this Star Game, will be crushed by a new team that has just been reorganized in the lpl League!
And does this also indicate that omg was able to show its nearsolution strength at the Star Tournament at that time, mainly relying on the extremely strong arry ability of an and ml, otherwise, how could omg be abused in turn after An and ml quit omg?
Yes, it seems that an and ml are too big for omg, otherwise omg would not have been beaten like this today, which gives me the feeling that, to be honest, I just had a feeling that omg was playing against South Korea!
Su Xiaoyan relived the game that just ended at this time, which really made her feel this way more and more. On whether the ban selection is impenetrable or the midline advantage in the actual game goes to the extremely rapid gank support and the perfect cooperation in the team battle, the horrible rhythm that is almost suffocating! This is really
Well, you said that the mg team has a Korean team feeling, which I still agree with a little. At least in the current country, it seems that there are lgd teams and mg teams that are energetic and courageous in a game, but I have a different view when you said that omg’s strength slipped because of the departure of an and ml.
However, joker doesn’t think that just because an and ml are not in the omg team, the omg team will be so weak now, and it will be crushed by the new mg team in a game.
After all, Big Brother, State and Umbrella are all the top firstline players in China, and no matter what, it is impossible for someone to leave the team and lead to a sharp drop in strength, so joker directly expressed his different views at this time.
I feel that the reason why omg will lose is mainly because of tactical mistakes in ban selection. Instead, they ignored the two extremely important points of pdd and snowqueen, which made them fatten up directly in the early stage, and then brought the rhythm in the whole game, which made omg lose the game by fighting back!
Undoubtedly, the most brilliant performance is naturally snowqueen in the singlekilling state. His demon girl is almost the whole omg nightmare, but she didn’t target the good demon girl, a hero with strong snowballing ability in the early stage. This is naturally the biggest mistake of omg.
Well, it’s also a demon Ji and an angel. The performance is really excellent and quite unexpected. ml alternative auxiliary Syndra actually showed very good strength. This is somewhat unexpected. I didn’t expect that he could turn an auxiliary student into an ap mage with great contribution!
If the most unexpected thing except that the mg team killed omg cleanly, it was Ah Liang’s brilliant performance to assist Sindela. I didn’t expect him to be able to develop successfully in the other side’s road situation rather than directly on the arry field!
Well, let’s watch a game mvp now. Well, it really is snowqueen’s enchantress. 93 data. Her performance is really amazing. Online is even more limited. Giggs, this is really a shame!
At this time, the doll gave a very high evaluation of snowqueen’s performance in a competition. Obviously, this is not because she hates snow. She is beautiful or something, but she is really deeply impressed by her incomparable wonderful exercises!
The performance of this game alone has made many players become Yan Henxue, the hardcore fan of the Queen of Competition, more than all of them, and they can compete with the world’s number one single an superstrong player!
After all, it’s obvious that just abdicating from an Ken and letting Xian give up his unit, which has won the recognition of players all over the world, to Yan Henxue.
However, this mg team is really bold and dare to choose these violent heroes in the first show of the whole team, and it is so radical to fight in the early stage. If you don’t have enough confidence, the general team will be safe instead of adopting such a radical play with a low error rate!
Su Xiaoyan is curious about what this mg team dares to have so much confidence and dare to come up with such a radical array than violence in such an important game and in the face of such a strong opponent!
Aren’t they afraid that they didn’t accumulate enough advantages in the early stage, but in the end they were successfully dragged to the later stage by omg, and then they directly lost the first show competition which is of great significance to the newly reorganized mg? ?
No, no, I don’t think so. mg dares to choose such a violent early stage. One is that they are the firstclass superstrength players in the world. They are confident that they can play enough advantages in the match period!
Joker quickly shook his head and denied that he didn’t recognize mg, but he was very blind and confident and chose radical play. He thought, I believe everyone has no doubt about this. After all, whether it’s pdd or snowqueen, they are all famous for their fierce and radical online play!
It is said that once they are matched with some extremely strong heroes, it is very likely that they will play enough advantages first in the match period rather than directly crush each other, so it is naturally suspenseful that the opponent can be crushed out very quickly throughout the game!
Joker said at this time that he couldn’t help but nodded his head with great certainty, as if he were making a supplement in his own words, but he didn’t think that the doll suddenly had a problem at this moment!
That if the mg team failed to accumulate enough advantages in the early stage? Then don’t they just fail? ? Isn’t that a bit risky? After all, this is a very critical game!
You know, in League of Legends, anything is likely to happen. It doesn’t mean that you choose the hero who has the advantage in the early stage, so you can definitely play a decisive advantage. It doesn’t mean that you have to play an advantage in the early stage, so your victory in this game will definitely be stable.
Therefore, this kind of mg can also be said to be a very aggressive line, which is equivalent to putting the betting department in the early stage of the game. If they fail to play enough advantages in the early stage and quickly turn these advantages into victory, then they are not worth the loss. ?
Ah yes! From this, we can see that the mg team is smart! Didn’t it ever occur to you that an would choose Vayne, which is relatively weak online and can’t match Syndra at all? In fact, this is exactly what the mg team left behind. Once mg fails to play enough advantages in the early stage, an Vayne will bear the responsibility of saving the world in the later stage! ！”
Joker is getting more and more excited at the moment. Obviously, he is full of admiration for the tactical arrangement of mg, which means that the mg team theory is almost not weak in the early or late stage of the game!
But all this is based on the fact that, first of all, this ad must have the ability to save the world with one enemy rather than directly! !
oh! I get it. Do you mean that the tactical arrangement of mg team is to blow you up online in the early stage or to save the world with Vayne alone in the later stage? ？”
That’s right! This tactic can be said to be an abnormal yin bully! And there are almost no weaknesses! However, this nearsolution tactic is really too high for the personal ability of ad! to be continued
Chapter 33 Too confident?
Ps first of all, I would like to congratulate edg on winning the world championship in msi invitational tournament against Korea!
Xiaoqiang watched the edg championship live broadcast with the same excitement as everyone else. This can be regarded as the first time that the China team successfully fought against Korea in the international arena!
I hope edg can go further and further, and whether they have Korean aid or not, they will still represent us in China. Then I hope they can continue to win the championship in s5 and make our country famous! !
Good audience, welcome back. Hello everyone, I’m a doll. This is the second game of the mgomg team!
Hello everyone, I’m joker!
Hello, I’m Su Xiaoyan.
Soon, the short intermission was over quickly, and the players from both sides were already sitting in succession. At this time, they were nervously debugging the machine and the corresponding talent runes to prepare for the last game.
Now let’s see how omg will target snowqueen. At the very least, the witch can’t be released any more. And then they should think about their own tactics. I think it won’t work much if they target the road like this again.
It turns out that it is a wrong choice to play an omg limited game against the road from the root, except for an. Vayne is indeed greatly affected by the development of this kind of brain against the situation
However, because omg’s center of gravity is placed on the road where an is located, this has led to the development of two roads in the mg team, plus the ultraviolent array they chose in the early stage, which makes the omg root be crushed by the absolute advantage of the mg team!
Yes, after all, in today’s world, the root of ad is getting smaller and smaller, which is more important than not being brilliant in s2. On the contrary, the importance of the middle road is to overwhelm the head of ad, so omg should quickly adjust its tactics and shift its tactical focus from an to other roads!
Although there are a lot of sighing fans at this time who are very reluctant to admit that they are sighing that God has fallen to this point now, it is not the core point that the other party is most aiming at, but this is not only from the current trend but also from the performance of an in the competition.
It seems that an really lost his absolute dominance when he was in the middle unit after moving to ad, and his terrible ability of arry!
But I feel that an can’t be relaxed. Even though he has moved to the ad position now, he is really a miracle player. I don’t think it is possible for the mg team to wave off such a big killer as an. He must still have a legal position in the team!
However, joker doesn’t recognize that an’s ability will be much worse after he moved to ad. After all, no matter what, he beat the stick and washed the ball a month ago. No matter where he moved to, his reaction and operating consciousness are still the world’s top firstclass standards!
Therefore, joker is really curious about why an insists on moving to ad and who is driving the whole team rhythm in the current multicore situation of mg team.
And what kind of position and responsibility does anad bear in the whole mg team? ?
Well, at this time, after a short wait, the second game of omg against mg team is finally official. At this moment, it has entered the ban selection screen. This is the turn of omg, and the blue side has the first ban first choice.
Soon, the opening match of omg’s summer match against mg’s lpl was finally in the final competition, but this time it was different from the first game. Just before, because of the absolute crush of the first game, almost 10% of the players agreed that mg’s team was more likely to win the game!
Even though the mg team has just been reorganized for only a month, they are fighting.
But it is a bit too luxurious! !
Sure enough! Omg’s firsthand ban position is directly left to a killing field, the enchantress! It seems that they have made a very effective and serious study on a defeat during the short intermission! This demon Ji ban is really beautiful!
As expected, omg naturally gave the snowqueen trick demon Ji to ban immediately after experiencing a very painful lesson of blood and tears at this time, and it is estimated that in this case, any team should choose ban when touching the mg team, which is extremely difficult to deal with.
However, the mg side is also not to be outdone, and the eldest brother Ritz continues to be banned by mg, and then the omg side has been banned one after another. The two heroes, Bloom and Casadin, are in anad, perhaps because they think that there is no need for it at present. The core base of this ban selection is limited to snowqueen in the middle.
I have to say that the wind and water turn around and the world is changing all the time. The previous person occupied the other three ban positions. Now, because he moved to other positions, he failed to catch a ban position. This is indeed a very significant change compared with him!
There is a lot of support and love for an. At this moment, when fans look at the big screen but there is no ban position reserved for them, they don’t know how many people really doubt whether an has decided to switch to ad position.
Is it right or wrong? ?
But omg didn’t specifically ban the ad position, but mg immediately banned it, and then Obama banned it. Ryan Giggs didn’t play very well. I think the effect might be better if Ryan Giggs was replaced with a hammer stone.
Su Xiaoyan had a hunch that omg would probably grab the hammer stone, so she felt that it might be more appropriate for mg to choose to give the hammer stone to ban.
Ah, omg’s side really grabbed the auxiliary hammer stone directly and in seconds, which can be said to be a very good choice. Since our side has the advantage of first selection, the hero hammer stone can’t be given to ml.

Words haven’t say that finish, Lin day black at the moment, passed out.
……
……
Don’t get wet on the wound recently. Chen Ranxin peeled the apple and handed it to Lin Tian, who was lying in a hospital bed.
… that I can take a shower? Feel pain and dirty Lin day zheng big eyes, some poor.
Chen Ran heart a soft, just want to comfort Lin Tian two sentences, then immediately felt wrong.
Don’t pretend, old niang this is hello
Hey, hey, Lin Tian smiled, looked around at the white scenery, and felt a bed that was not soft: How long have I slept?
Soon, one day
Oh … Where’s Yingying?
Nani took care of you last night, so I asked her to go back first. Chen Ranxin said with a smile. He touched Lin Tian’s wound and asked Jiao, Does it still hurt?
Ok … heart elder sister in touch Lin day blinked.
here? Chen Ranxin felt Lin Tiandu.
No, a little further.
here?
A little further
Go away! Chen Ran heart directly turned supercilious look.
Lin Tian smiled twice and rubbed his head. How was that solved?
Chapter 5 Master?
It’s just settled, but you know those people really badly. Even the exhibition flies, and you dare not copy the website again. Since yesterday, Chen Ran’s face was full of Japanese.
Oh … See Chen Ran heart talk is equal to didn’t say, Lin day also didn’t ask.
He knew this time to ask, Chen Ran heart will be angry.
Aye, but didn’t you tell me that they helped you once? This is the third time Chen Ran heart put a glass, some doubts.
Chen Ran heart doubts, but the actual day more confused Lin.
He doesn’t know why the other party is so worried, and … it’s the same people every time.
Lin day touched the bar, feeling a little confused.
If it is really sent by Shen Bing, isn’t it the same every time?
But three times in succession, three groups of people are the same group, which is a bit confusing for Lin Tian.
He shook his head: Sister Xin, I don’t know what’s going on. Master also said that you can hit that sentence once …
Line line, don’t think about it if you don’t want to be white. By the way, this is what the leader called Wang Lingxuan to give you a message. Chen Ranxin took a piece of paper from his pocket and really had a line of words.
Lin Tian took it quickly and wanted to call to thank him, but Chen Ranxin stopped: Don’t call. When Wang Lingxuan gave me this message, he specifically told me not to call now, but to wait for a while.
… what does this mean?
How can I know! But there are many rules here, so you’d better listen to him.
All right, then. Lin Tian was confused about putting the paper in his pocket, and he felt some pain. He leaned for a while.
Why? Talked?
No, intentional elder sister accompany me where will chat ….. by the way, we went out yesterday, the team is not a game? What is the result?
Won, of course, otherwise I wouldn’t be sitting here chatting with you. Chen Ran took a white look at Lin Tian, and Lin Tian immediately smiled.
He took two bites of the apple and said with a smile, It’s so sweet for Sister Xin to peel the apple.
Apple is not as sweet as you, Chen Ran teased.
Hehe
Come on, I’m afraid you’ll talk. See that monitor?
I’m not blind …
I brought the mainframe, and F can connect to the Internet. I’ll find you some games to watch. You’re in hospital now, and you can’t train. It’s good for you to watch more videos.
yes
Chen Ranxin walked slowly to the front of the LCD TV, and after a while, he really found some LOL game videos.

Qin Xiong’s midfield commander is to blame.
But no teammates and coaches will accuse him.
The root cause of the problem is not Qin Xiong.
The whole team broke up.
Qin Xiong still treats his teammates with standard eyes before the winter break.
At that time, they cooperated well and the team worked smoothly.
However, after the winter break, it will take some time for the players to reactivate the recovery from the cooling state.
So when Qin Xiong played a more difficult ball a month ago, his teammates could receive and transform the threat offensive when they were at their best.
But now they can’t stop the ball and run in place, which becomes Qin Xiong’s ball mistake.
Just as Sid is still losing weight, other players also have some minor problems, which are not very serious, but they can be overcome with games when necessary.
Coleman patiently communicated with the players at halftime and told everyone to keep a normal mind and a stable mind in order to play better.
Qin Xiong is not discouraged.
I have to start all over again
So at halftime, he made the pace of the game very slow, making a formulaic ball in the midfield.
Instead of exploring and creating in the past, it is now to reactivate the team, which will blend the whole, and they will be much faster when they are familiar with it.
Playing football is sometimes a feeling.
That kind of feeling is coming, whether it is consciousness or technology, it is smooth sailing.
This feeling can be felt by the players themselves
Now Ajax is trying to find their familiar feelings.
Ajax took a stroll in Qin Xiong’s midfield to command and dispatch the halfcourt, which was obviously better than the halfcourt, but it seemed that the pace was slow and they lost the impact of attacking the city and pulling out the village before the winter break.
Fans probably didn’t expect Ajax to play so hard in the first league after the winter break.
Although the defense has not withstood much test, the attack is not ideal
There are many personal mistakes made by players.
In fact, even Qin Xiong’s personal play is not as good as before the winter break.
Because of the cold weather, I always feel a little slow in winter competition.
I don’t know if it’s a reflex of nerve selfprotection or a slow pace, and I’m a little uncomfortable after I came
It was not until the third minute of the game that Qin Xiong inserted Ibrahimovic pienaar from the back of the midfield and made an inverted threecorner kick in the middle. After Qin Xiong entered the restricted area to meet pienaar’s direct tackle, he tried to shoot directly but failed to dodge the ball when dodging the opponent’s defender’s foot, but he stumbled to the ground.
The referee whistled to indicate that Nijmegen defender had given Ajax a penalty.
Qin Xiong is not a player who falls down at the touch. Even in the restricted area, he finally thinks that penalty does not necessarily mean scoring, but if he can break through the opponent and form a single knife, the probability of scoring should be higher because there will be less time for the goalkeeper to react in sports.
Nijmegen’s protest failed to change the reality.
Qin Xiong witnessed Van der Vaart taking a penalty outside the penalty area.
The new European golden boy has a bad foot wind today.
This penalty actually hit the opponent’s goalkeeper!
Fortunately, the opposing goalkeeper failed to hold the ball and get rid of it!
Ajax rushed into the penalty area to follow up the shot. It was actually Germany. He kicked the ball into the goal in the small penalty line.
Ajax finally beat Nijmegen with a goal of German Kung Fu.
Although winning the game.
However, when Ajax players returned to the locker room after the game, everyone was not in high spirits and was a little bored and anxious.
What’s the kick?
Ibrahimovic muttered in the corner and dropped his sneakers to the ground.
Van der Vaart tacit understanding from the nasal cavity a depressing vent.
Veteran Galasek encouraged everyone to listen to Coleman’s advice and be calm.
Is winning enough?
Not enough!
What is Nijmegen?
It’s so hard to win the game!
Ajax, who is proud, will not be complacent about defeating Nijmegen.
Seeing that their heart is not in Holland but on the other side of the sea, North London, Great Britain, England!
Arsenal! Arsenal!
Arsenal will descend to Amsterdam in a month!
If Ajax face Arsenal today, there is no doubt that they will be beaten by Arsenal!
Nijmegen is not comparable to Arsenal.
Henry, a killer who scares all the defenders in the world, is enough to threaten Ajax to death!
There are also famous players such as Vieira Pires Ljungberg, who walked out of Bergkamp from Ajax.
What will Arsenal be like?
They don’t know
They know that there is no winter break in the Premier League, and there may be fatigue accumulation, but at least Arsenal’s team status is always going on.
The physical strength is not as good as Arsenal’s. If the state is not as good as the other side, the probability that Ajax will be blocked from the Champions League is very, very high!
It is from this sense of crisis that Ajax players are not satisfied with their selfexpression in this game!
The next day, International Football also wrote an article mocking Ajax players for spending the winter break as if they were frozen.
Qin Xiong didn’t get as mean a comment as van der Vaart did.
After all, the first European Golden Boy Aura above Van der Vaart’s head has attracted much attention because his girlfriend is a celebrity in the entertainment circle. When he does not perform well, he is naturally under pressure from public opinion.
