However, just when Lei Xiao was confused, the originally evenly matched battle situation around him soon changed significantly.
In the turbulent and scorching ruins, under the threat of the opponent's four fifth-level alchemy puppets that have not yet entered the battle.
Although everyone on our side is desperately resisting the attack of the opponent's wealthy and powerful people, unknowingly, the morale has declined even more seriously.
Facing the enemy's strong men who were pressing forward step by step, all our strong men present clearly understood in their hearts.
As long as the enemy sends another fifth-level alchemy puppet to take action, the fragile balance of the battle will immediately be completely overturned.
In the face of the monstrous fifth-level combat power, the fourth-level strong man 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 completely doomed situation, with absolutely no hope of breaking out!
Directly opposite us, the wealthy and powerful men who were attacking fiercely had disdain and sneers on their lips, waving their weapons crazily and becoming more and more unscrupulous.
They already have an overwhelming advantage, and the reason why His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and the two family heads haven't taken action yet is just to give them a chance to show off and win glory.
As one goes and the other goes, the enemy's strong men, whose morale has been greatly boosted, can be said to become more and more courageous as they fight, causing our strong men to retreat step by step, making the battlefield full of dangers and filled with murderous intent.
As for Nolan's side of fighting against the two fifth-level 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 undead beasts he controls can fight back and forth with alchemy puppets, but Nolan himself is gritting his teeth and fighting and retreating, looking extremely embarrassed.
"It's really a dead end with no suspense."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved, taking in everything on the battlefield.
At this point, the situation of the battle could not be more obvious.
Although the enemy and we participating in the battlefield are evenly matched, the enemy's morale is high and our morale is low.
I'm afraid it won't take long, and even without those four fifth-level alchemy puppets who are eyeing the battle, our side will be defeated.
"Lord, although the opponent is constantly besieging me, my subordinates discovered that there are no other forces deployed around the opponent. This is enough for you to escape!"
The ancestral knight sword in Sarah's hand swung at high speed, drawing a sharp silver trajectory and repelling a strong man from the Yorkman family who tried to attack Lei Xiao.
Then he frowned at Lei Xiao and said: "Lord, I am willing to fight to the death with the knight sword in my hand to ensure that the lord and the princess retreat safely!"
"Yes, as long as Your Excellency Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess can retreat smoothly, the hope of this land will not be lost!"
Keen's old face was full of solemnity. He swung his giant ax and made a sharp half-moon slash, and nodded heavily.
Hearing the sound, other strong men and elders on our side also agreed, and Ariel's starry eyes were full of determination, and she nodded heavily towards Lei Xiao.
This Princess Lengyan has made any preparations, even if she dies, she must keep the lord safe and sound!
After hearing the awe-inspiring voices of our strong men, Lei Xiao's eyes continued to move rapidly on the battlefield, and he noticed further.
The fourth prince, Stone, and Kent, plus the four fifth-level alchemy puppets exuding vast momentum, were all standing far in front of the battle, and did not form an encirclement situation towards us.
The wealthy and powerful people surrounding us have several loopholes visible to the naked eye. With the strength of myself and Ariel, we can easily escape even without using teleportation scrolls.
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 Fourth Prince and his gang act carefully and calmly, and are ruthless and decisive in their actions. Especially at critical moments, they have never missed a beat.
And the current situation is even more obvious. As long as he and Ariel, who are at an absolute disadvantage, are killed, the outcome of this war will essentially be decided.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the Fourth Prince and his group would never make such a stupid mistake when they had all the advantages, so as to allow themselves to evacuate smoothly.
"All of this is too deliberate. Could it be that the Fourth Prince deliberately left a loophole to attract Ariel and I to escape from this place?"
Listening to the fierce shouts of killing around him, Lei Xiao's eyes were full of doubts and confusion, and his brain was running rapidly.
"If the fourth prince really did all this deliberately, why didn't he kill Ariel and me now instead of asking us to leave this battlefield?"
While Lei Xiao mobilized the power of the gods and used the lightning technique to support our strong men who were fighting around him, an increasingly puzzled look appeared in his dark eyes.
Just like what I just thought, at the beginning, the opponent obviously had overwhelming strength and could end the battle quickly, but only released two fifth-level alchemy puppets.
And now, the other party is deliberately exposing flaws to give himself and Ariel a chance to survive. No matter what it is, this is obviously against common sense.
"There is no doubt that the Fourth Prince and his gang want to kill me and Ariel. Otherwise, they would not take the initiative to show up and launch this fatal murderous intention against me."
"But these two weird actions he made one after another are contrary to his thoughts. What is going on?"
"Could it be that the other party is taking care of something? Or is there some other reason?"
Lei Xiao's brain was still running rapidly, but he couldn't find any reasonable explanation or ideas.
But what Lei Xiao can be sure of is that although he doesn't know the specific reason, since the other party has deliberately left an "escape passage", he will naturally not dive in, otherwise he will undoubtedly fall into the unknown conspiracy of the other party.
"I can really feel your kindness and determination, but the situation is not that simple."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao nodded to the strong men around us who were eager to save their lives to evacuate, and solemnly said: "The situation is very clear now. There is still a glimmer of hope in a deadly battle. If we evacuate this place, we will definitely
It is certain to die!"
"What?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone including Ariel had a look of confusion on their faces.
It is simply unbelievable that it is certain to die if you evacuate this deadly place.
But this confusion quickly disappeared. After all, Lei Xiao's words were never wrong, so despite the confusion in their hearts, everyone gathered around Lei Xiao again and decided to fight to the end.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized for the time being, Lei Xiao's brows were still furrowed and he continued to look for clues about the other party's strange behavior.
Lei Xiao understood clearly, just like what he had just thought.
As long as we can decipher the reasons behind the opponent's series of weird actions, we may be able to find hope of turning defeat into victory!
"If you think about it carefully, from the moment the other party suddenly appeared, there seemed to be many other unreasonable behaviors."
In a corner of a ruined wall, Lei Xiao first released all the earth guardians, ice knights, and divine arm shooters to help fight.
Then he froze his eyebrows and carefully recalled everything he said and did since the Fourth Prince and his group showed up.
First of all, with the violent and cruel aloof character of the fourth prince, he should not talk too much to himself and Ariel. However, not only did he repeatedly falsely say that he would turn everyone present into fans, he even patiently persuaded Ellie to surrender many times.
Son.
Secondly, Stone and Kent, intentionally or unintentionally, also promoted the fourth prince and belittled us.
With all of the above, the other side seems to be trying its best to suppress our morale, making us feel discouraged and even timid.
"But now that they have an absolute advantage, the Fourth Prince and his gang can just wipe out everything, so why waste unnecessary words with us?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao felt as if he had grasped something, but soon lost his train of thought.
In the end, Stone even tried to win over Nolan again at the last moment before the war. Is this really necessary when he has an absolute advantage?
"The battlefield is constantly changing, and fighter planes are fleeting. This is natural for Stone and Kent, two top commanders who have experienced hundreds of battles."
"Since the opponent has an overwhelming advantage, they should cut through the mess quickly and destroy us quickly. Why waste this time? It is simply incredible."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, feeling that he finally caught the answer that was floating in his heart.
The situation is very obvious. There is only one answer to why the other party went to such trouble.
That is, the other side is not completely sure of defeating us, so they have to use words to demoralize our side first, and then start to attack.
"No, there are clearly four alchemy puppets exuding vast aura beside the fourth prince. They are no different from the two who are fighting fiercely with Nolan."
"And this is the area covered by the illusion interference barrier. Coupled with the presence of Xiao Huan, the possibility of the opponent using illusions can be completely ruled out."
"The other side clearly has an overwhelming advantage, so why are they still not sure of defeating us?"
Lei Xiao's heart was still full of confusion, his eyes wandered, and finally fell on the four alchemy puppets placed in front of the fourth prince.
I saw that the space around those alchemy puppets was slightly distorted, and they had indeed reached the genuine fifth 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 sharp eyes continued to move on these alchemy puppets.
Thinking about it this way, the other party's painstaking efforts to reveal flaws in an attempt to get himself and Ariel to evacuate this area are also related to these alchemy puppets that have not yet taken action?
But what connection does this have? Why does the other party want him and Ariel to escape?
In addition, what has always puzzled me is that, in addition to the one we are studying, the fourth prince actually holds ten fifth-level alchemy puppets at the level of a country.
If such extremely powerful combat forces are brought together, the opponent can easily surprise or behead you before this war begins, so why delay it until now?
Thinking about this in his mind, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.
All this is too baffling, and with the support of previous clues, it is impossible for me to find further answers.
If those alchemy puppets that have not yet moved really have a secret, then the only way for me to test it is to actively attack these guys.
"Under the premise that our situation is precarious, it is obviously not a wise choice to take the initiative to attack the opponent's top combat power that has not yet participated. In the eyes of others, it is even a stupid act that leads to 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 dive and attack one of the alchemy puppets.
The prompt for rapid recitation sounded suddenly.
Lei Xiao had no choice but to give up the attack for the time being, and answered the call first.
The excited old voice of Gars immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears: "I would like to inform the lord, my subordinates have made breakthrough progress in the research on the fifth-level alchemy puppet!"
"Senior Ice Demon, can you already control that fifth-level alchemy puppet?"
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
"Back to the lord, I don't have this yet, but my subordinates have discovered another extremely critical information, which is enough to make it easier for the lord to deal with these guys!"
Garth obviously heard the fierce fighting on Lei Xiao's side, and immediately sped up his words: "That is, these alchemy puppets are sealed with a "discrete magic array"!"
""Discrete Magic Circle"?"
Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows and continued to listen to Garth's words.
"Lord, the so-called "discrete magic circle" is actually a rare special magic circle in alchemy puppets. Its function is similar to the "magic lock mechanism" of miracle buildings."
"To be specific, it is a special defensive measure deployed by the manufacturer in order to prevent these alchemy puppets with backdoor magic circles from being controlled by the enemy and thus 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. The others can only perform some basic movements, but cannot perform combat control."
"In this way, we can achieve the effect of not being able to attack in groups, thereby spreading the combat power to a considerable extent and reducing the threat to the creator."
"As for the fifth-level alchemy puppets controlled by the fourth prince, only two of them can enter combat status in the same area!"
After hearing what Garth said, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of enlightenment and said excitedly to the former: "Senior Ice Demon, the new information you provided is really timely. Let's talk about it later!"
After closing his words, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, his eyes bright and clear.
At this point, all the mysteries have been solved.
