Chapter 1714: Chapter 981: Desperate Situation and Truth Chapter 1714: Chapter 981: Desperate Situation and Truth However, just when Leo Ray was puzzled and confused, the equilibrium of the battle around him, previously evenly matched, quickly began to shift.
In the midst of the swirling, scorching ruins, under the deterrence of the four Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets that hadn’t yet joined the fight,
Despite everyone on our side desperately resisting the attacks from the enemy’s powerhouses, morale was slipping more and more without notice.
Facing the encroaching enemy powerhouses, every one of our strongest was clearly aware in their hearts,
that if the enemy sent just one more Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet into the fray, the fragile balance of the battle would be completely overturned.
In front of the overwhelming power of a Tier 5 combatant, a Tier 4 powerhouse would undoubtedly be no match!
Not to ntion, the enemy still had four Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets in hand!
In other words, this absolutely hopeless situation had no chance of turning around!
Across from us, those powerhouses charging ferociously at us, one after another, held smirks of disdain and cold laughter on their lips, crazily swinging their weapons, becoming even more reckless.
They had already achieved an overwhelming advantage, and the only reason the Fourth Prince and the two Lords hadn’t moved was to give them a chance to show themselves off and fight for honor.
As the battle wore on, the enemy, bolstered in morale, fought more fiercely, driving our strongest back step by step, creating an atmosphere fraught with danger and filled with killing intent all over the battlefield.
As for Nolan, who was alone resisting two Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, the situation there had also quickly taken a dramatic turn for the worse.
After all, Nolan was a Necromancer ill-suited for close combat. While the Undead Strong Beasts he controlled could exchange blows with the Alchemy Puppets, Nolan himself was gritting his teeth and retreating while fighting, looking extrely ragged.
“It’s really a fight without suspense, a dead end,”
Leo Ray’s gaze shifted, taking in everything on the battlefield.
By now, the situation had beco clearer than ever.
Although the forces on the battlefield were nominally evenly matched, with the enemy’s high spirits and our side’s low morale,
it probably wouldn’t take much ti, and even without the four watchful Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets joining the fight, our side was dood to certain defeat.
“Lord, although the enemy keeps surrounding us, my subordinates have noticed that they haven’t deployed other forces on the periphery, which is enough for you to escape alive!”
Sarah Shawn brandished her ancestral Knight Sword rapidly, tracing a cold silver arc in the air and repelling a powerhouse from the Yorkman Clan who was attempting to attack Leo Ray.
Then she said to Leo Ray with furrowed brows, “Lord, I’m willing to fight to the death with the Knight Sword in hand to ensure Lord and the Princess’s safe withdrawal!”
“Indeed, as long as Mr. Lane and the Princess can withdraw successfully, the hope for this land will not be extinguished!”
Kane’s aged face was filled with solemnity. While swinging his Giant Axe to unleash a fierce Half Moon Slash, he nodded emphatically.
Hearing this, the other strong ones and elders on our side also echoed in agreent, and Ariel Watson’s starry eyes were full of determination as she nodded heavily to Leo Ray.
The Princess Coldfla had made every preparation, even if it ant her own death, to ensure the safety of Leo Ray!
Hearing the resolute voices of his strong ones, Leo Ray continued to scan the battlefield quickly, indeed noticing further,
that the Fourth Prince, Stone, and Kent, along with four imposing Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, were all standing directly ahead of the struggle and had not encircled our side.
The powerhouses who were surrounding us had several visible gaps; with his and Ariel Watson’s strength, even without using a Teleportation Scroll, they could easily slip away.
Seeing this scene riddled with gaps, not a trace of joy appeared on Leo Ray’s face. Instead, he furrowed his brows tightly, feeling an uneasy strangeness.
From the series of confrontations they had previously, it was not difficult to see that the Fourth Prince’s group was ticulous and calm in their actions, with ruthless and decisive strikes, especially in critical monts; they had never dropped the ball.
Now the situation was clear; rely by killing the disadvantaged Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, the outco of the war would be essentially decided.
Therefore, it was not difficult to deduce that in their dominant position, the Fourth Prince’s group would never make such low-level mistakes as to allow their opponents a successful escape.
“Is all of this appearing too deliberate? Could it be that the Fourth Prince intentionally left flaws to attract Ariel Watson and to flee from here?”
Listening to the fierce battle cries around him, Leo Ray’s gaze was filled with confusion and bewildernt as his brain worked at high speed.
“If all of this is indeed deliberate on behalf of the Fourth Prince, why doesn’t he just kill Ariel Watson and now instead of letting us leave the battlefield?”
Leo Ray summoned the Power of Divine Grace, striking down with “Thunderfall” to assist his comrades in battle, all the while his dark pupils reflected an increasingly puzzled expression.
Just as he had thought earlier, the enemy could have ended the battle quickly with their overwhelming strength by sending out only two Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets initially.
And now, the enemy was deliberately showing flaws, giving himself and Ariel Watson a chance at life, which was clearly unreasonable from any angle.
“The desire of the Fourth Prince and his party to doom Ariel Watson and is beyond doubt; otherwise, they wouldn’t have appeared to launch this deadly assault.”
