Chapter 982 Desperation and the Truth

However, just when Lei Xiao was puzzled, the surrounding battle situation, which was originally evenly matched, quickly changed significantly.

In the raging hot ruins, under the deterrence of the opponent's four fifth-order alchemy puppets who have not yet played.

Although everyone on our side is desperately resisting the attack of the opponent's rich and powerful, unconsciously, the morale has declined even more seriously.

Facing the enemy powerhouse who is pressing on every step of the way, all our powerhouses present clearly understand it in their hearts.

As long as the enemy sends another fifth-level alchemy puppet to attack, the fragile balance of the battle situation will be completely overturned immediately.

In the face of the powerful fifth-tier combat power, the fourth-tier powerhouse will undoubtedly be vulnerable!

What's more, the opponent still has four fifth-level alchemy puppets in his hands!

In other words, this is a dead-end game, and there is absolutely no hope of breaking it!

On the opposite side of our side, those rich and powerful men who came on the attack all had disdain and sneers on the corners of their mouths, waving their weapons wildly, becoming more and more unscrupulous.

They already had an overwhelming advantage, and the reason why His Royal Highness the fourth prince and the two Patriarchs hadn't made a move yet was just to give them a chance to perform and win glory.

Under the ups and downs, the morale of the strong enemy can be said to be more and more courageous, and our strong men are constantly retreating, making the battlefield full of dangers and murderous aura.

As for the side where Nolan was fighting against the two fifth-tier alchemy puppets alone, the situation soon began to take a turn for the worse.

After all, Nolan is just a necromancer who is not good at melee combat. The necromantic beast he controls can even fight back and forth with the alchemy puppet, but Nolan himself is gritting his teeth and fighting and retreating, looking extremely embarrassed.

"It's really a dead end without any suspense."

Lei Xiao's gaze moved, taking a panoramic view of everything on the battlefield.

At this point, the battle situation couldn't be more obvious.

Although the enemy and us participating in the battle on the battlefield can be said to be evenly matched, the morale of the enemy is high and our morale is low.

I'm afraid it won't take long, and even without the four eye-catching fifth-level alchemy puppets on the field, our side will definitely be defeated.

"My lord, although the opponent is constantly besieging, but the subordinates found that there is no other force deployed outside the opponent, this is enough to let you escape!"

The ancestral knight sword in Sarah's hand swung at a high speed, drawing a piercing silver trail, and repelled a strong man from the Yorkman family who was trying to attack Lei Xiao.

Then he frowned at Lei Xiao and said: "Lord Lord, this subordinate is willing to fight to the death with the knight sword in hand, so that Lord Lord and His Royal Highness can retreat safely!"

"That's right, as long as Your Excellency Keqing and Her Royal Highness can retreat smoothly, the hope of this land will not be wiped out!"

Keane's old face was full of awe, and while swinging the huge ax to draw a sharp half-moon cut, he nodded heavily and said.

Hearing the sound, other strong men and elders from our side also agreed one after another, and Ariel's starry eyes were full of determination, and she nodded emphatically at Lei Xiao.

This Princess Lengyan has already made all preparations, even if she dies, she must keep the lord safe!

Hearing the awe-inspiring voices of our powerhouses, Lei Xiao continued to move rapidly on the battlefield, and he noticed further.

The fourth prince, Stone, and Kent, together with the four fifth-tier alchemy puppets exuding a mighty momentum, were all standing far in front of the battle, and did not form a siege to our side.

And the rich and powerful men who besieged us around us had several loopholes visible to the naked eye. With the strength of myself and Ariel, even without using the teleportation scroll, they could easily escape.

Seeing this scene full of loopholes, instead of showing a trace of joy on Lei Xiao's face, he frowned tightly, feeling a little weird.

From the previous series of duels, it is not difficult to see that the four princes acted carefully and calmly, and made fierce and decisive moves. Especially at critical moments, they never lost the chain.

And the current situation is even more obvious, as long as he and Ariel, who are at an absolute disadvantage, are killed, the battle has essentially been decided.

It is not difficult to see from this that the fourth prince and his group would never make such a low-level mistake when they had the upper hand, so that they allowed themselves to evacuate smoothly.

"All of this was too deliberate. Could it be that the fourth prince deliberately left a loophole to lure me and Ariel to escape from this place?"

Listening to the fierce shouts of killing around him, Lei Xiao's eyes were full of doubt and incomprehension, and his brain was running fast.

"If the fourth prince really did all this on purpose, why didn't he kill me and Ariel now, instead let us leave this battlefield?"

While mobilizing the power of the gods, Lei Xiao used the lightning strike technique to support our strong men who were fighting around him, while his dark eyes reflected an increasingly puzzled look.

Just as I thought just now, at the beginning, the opponent clearly possessed overwhelming strength and could end the battle quickly, but only released two fifth-order alchemy puppets.

But now, the other party deliberately exposed flaws to give himself and Ariel a chance to survive. No matter what point it was, this was obviously not in line with common sense.

"There is no doubt that the fourth prince and his gang want to kill me and Ariel, otherwise they would not have shown up and launched this fatal murderous intent against me."

"But these two weird actions that he made one after another run counter to his thoughts. What's going on?"

"Could it be that the other party is thinking about something? Or is there some other reason?"

Lei Xiao's brain was still running rapidly, but he couldn't find any reasonable explanation or train of thought.

But what Lei Xiao can be sure of is that although he doesn't know the specific reason, since the other party deliberately set aside an "escape channel", he will naturally not sneak in, otherwise he will undoubtedly fall into the unknown trick of the other party.

"I can really feel the kindness and firmness of everyone, but the situation is not that simple."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded to our strong men who were eager to evacuate with their lives, and said solemnly: "The situation is very clear now, there is still a glimmer of life in the death battle, if we evacuate here It is certain death!"

"What?"

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone, including Ariel, had a puzzled look on their faces.

Is evacuating this dead place sure death? It's just unbelievable.

But this puzzlement quickly disappeared, after all, Lei Xiao never missed his words, so despite the confusion in their hearts, everyone still surrounded Lei Xiao again, and decided to fight to the end.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized for the time being, Lei Xiao still frowned, and continued to search for clues about the other party's strange behavior.

Lei Xiao understood clearly, just like what he thought just now.

As long as we can decipher the reasons for this series of strange actions of the opponent, we may be able to find the hope of turning defeat into victory!

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there have been many other unreasonable actions since the other party suddenly appeared."

In a corner of ruined walls, Lei Xiao first released all the Guardians of the Earth, Ice Knights, and Archer with the Armed Arm to help in the battle.

Then he frowned, recalling carefully the words and deeds of the fourth prince and his group since their appearance.

First of all, with the violent and ruthless personality of the fourth prince, he probably wouldn't talk too much with himself and Ariel. However, he not only repeatedly said that he wanted to turn everyone present into ashes, but also patiently persuaded Ariel many times. Son.

Secondly, Stone and Kent, intentionally or unintentionally, are also promoting the fourth prince and belittling us.

All of the above, the opponent seems to be trying to suppress our morale, making us feel ashamed, and even timid.

"But given the absolute advantage, the fourth prince and his gang just need to settle everything. Why bother with us?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao felt as if he had grasped something, but soon lost his train of thought.

In the end, even at the last moment before the start of the war, Stone tried to win over Nolan again. Given the absolute advantage, is this really necessary?

"The battlefield is ever-changing, and fighter opportunities are fleeting. This is naturally clear to Stone and Kent, two top commanders who have experienced many battles."

"Since the opponent has an overwhelming advantage, they should cut through the mess quickly and destroy our side quickly. Why waste all this time? It's incredible."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, feeling that he finally grasped the erratic answer in his heart.

The situation is already very obvious. There is only one answer for the reason why the other party has gone through so much trouble.

That is to say, the opponent is not fully sure of defeating our side at all, so he has to use words to first damage our morale, and then start to attack.

"No, next to the fourth prince, there are obviously four alchemy puppets exuding a vast aura, which are no different from the two who are fighting fiercely with Nolan."

"And here is the area covered by the illusion interference barrier, and with the presence of Xiao Huan, the possibility of the opponent using illusion can be completely ruled out."

"The opponent clearly has an overwhelming advantage, why is he still not sure about defeating us?"

Lei Xiao was still full of puzzlement, his eyes wandered, and finally landed on the four alchemy puppets in front of the fourth prince.

I saw that the surrounding space of those alchemy puppets was faintly distorted, and indeed they all reached the genuine fifth-order level.

"Even so, the fourth prince has never used these alchemy puppets. If there is a mystery in this, it must be hidden in these alchemy puppets."

Lei Xiao's eyes were sharp, and he continued to move on these alchemy puppets.

Thinking about it this way, the other party's painstaking efforts to reveal their flaws and attempt to evacuate themselves and Ariel from this area are also related to these alchemy puppets who have not yet acted?

But what does this have to do with it? Why did the other party want him and Ariel to escape?

In addition, what I have been unable to figure out is that, together with the one we are studying, the fourth prince actually holds ten fifth-order alchemy puppets of the township level.

If such an extremely powerful combat force is gathered together, the opponent can easily surprise or behead himself before the start of this war, why delay until now?

Thinking about this in his heart, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.

All this is too inexplicable, with the support of the previous clues, it is impossible for me to find further answers.

If those unmoved alchemy puppets really have secrets hidden, then the only way to test it is to actively attack these guys.

"Under the premise that our side is in a precarious situation, it is obviously not a wise choice to actively attack the opponent's top combat power that has not yet played. In the eyes of others, it is even a stupid act of self-destruction."

"However, in order to find out the truth of the matter, I have no choice."

Just when Lei Xiao made up his mind, he was about to command six sky guardians wearing invisibility cloaks to swoop down and attack one of the alchemy puppets.

The hasty voice prompt sounded suddenly.

Lei Xiao had no choice but to give up the attack for the time being, and connected to Nianhua first.

Just hearing Garth's excited old voice came to Lei Xiao's ears immediately: "My lord, my subordinates have made a breakthrough in the research on the fifth-order alchemy puppets!"

"Senior Ice Demon, can you already control that fifth-order alchemy puppet?"

Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"Back to the lord, this is not yet, but the subordinates have discovered another extremely critical information, which is enough to make the lord deal with these guys more easily!"

Gals obviously heard the fierce fighting on Lei Xiao's side, and immediately sped up his speech: "These alchemy puppets are all sealed with a "discrete magic circle"! "

""Discrete magic circle"? "

Lei Xiao frowned, and continued to listen to Garth's words.

"My lord, the so-called "discrete magic circle" is actually a rare and special magic circle in the alchemy puppet, and its function is similar to the "magic lock mechanism" of the miracle building. "

"Specifically, it is a special defensive measure deployed by the manufacturer in order to prevent these alchemy puppets with backdoor magic circles from being manipulated by the enemy at the same time, thereby posing a major threat to their own side."

"Only one or two of the alchemy puppets attached to the "Discrete Magic Array" can successfully enter the combat state in the same area, and the others can only perform some basic movements, but cannot perform combat control. "

"In this way, the effect of being unable to attack in groups can be achieved, thus to a considerable extent, playing the role of dispersing combat power and reducing the threat to the manufacturer."

"As for the fifth-order alchemy puppets controlled by the fourth prince, there are at most two that can enter the fighting state in the same area!"

Hearing what Gals said, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a bright look, and excitedly said to the former: "Senior Ice Demon, the brand new information you provided is really timely, let's talk about it later!"

Turning off the reading, Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, his eyes were piercing.

So far, all the mysteries have been revealed.
