Chapter 1488: Chapter 455: Leonard Churchill’s Slick Moves, Outshining Everyone with Style_4 Chapter 1488: Chapter 455: Leonard Churchill’s Slick Moves, Outshining Everyone with Style_4 So, in his eyes, the outcome was already set in stone.

Just as he was thinking, the referee suddenly vanished from the center of the field, and shouted, “The duel begins!”

No sooner had the words been spoken than the six people from the Landon Family and the six from the Red Dragon Royal Family made almost the same movement.

The magic type members of both sides released the “Smoke Technique” and “Storm Technique” almost simultaneously.

In an instant, the entire field was engulfed in a haze of gray smoke and yellow sand, drastically restricting their visual perception.

Each of the twelve players had already disappeared from the field, following the tactics discussed by their teams beforehand.

…

“Hey, are those Landon Family fellows quick on the uptake, thinking to use the same tactics as the Red Dragons?”

“In this desert environment, disrupting visibility is definitely the best method. However, if they have good sensory abilities, it’ll be hard for them to effectively attack. The Landon Family guys are out of luck; the Red Dragon Team’s assassin, Quinn, is a scout from the ‘Dragon Hawk Family’, his vision won’t be so easily hindered.”

“Yeah. I think this duel will be decided very quickly.”

“Look over there, it seems both sides are using the ‘Feather Cutting Strategy’! Heh, this is getting interesting… Just from this team tactic reaction alone, the Landon Family’s planning must be at least A-tier in quality.”

“That’s true. With the same tactics, it comes down to which side’s assault members can take out the other side’s fragile professions first; that’ll win them the greater half…”

…

The Academy’s Trial Field has a special clear-view Barrier, allowing the audience to see vague silhouettes of the competitors, even with sand filling the air inside the field.

The new students watched as members from both fighting sides groped their way toward their opponents, assuming they were employing the Feather Cutting Strategy.

To them, this strategy seemed to be a straightforward clash of strengths.

However…

In the instructor seats, several high-order card masters caught sight of the opening moves and were instantly dazzled and surprised.

The battle had just begun, and for experts of their level, they could already see the end.

An old man with a white beard couldn’t help but laugh and lament, “I didn’t expect them to use that tactic. Heh, it’s over…”

“Yeah. It’s not an overly clever strategy, but… it’s… it’s just strange. How did these kids come up with this plan? If they actually win by this method, I’m afraid there’ll be some chatter…”

“Indeed, it’s smart thinking. But a duel is a duel; if this were a real battlefield, these Landon Family guys would be a notch above.”

“Absolutely! Drawing the enemy in from below and striking from above, catching them off guard… this strategy seems simple, but it is the best choice from any angle. However… using a teammate as bait… well… that could only be thought of by someone rather scheming.”

…

As this was said, several other instructors also began discussing animatedly.

Beyond amazement, they were still amazed.

From the moment they sat down here, they had never imagined witnessing such a scene.

Recalling the ventriloquism before taking the stage, the entire strategy became crystal clear to them.

Next to the instructors were some trainee instructors and a few older students, who didn’t quite understand why the top-tier masters of the academy had come to such conclusions.

However, in the next second, they saw the victory was already decided.

…

Inside the Trial Field, the sand was swirling in the air.

The storm and smoke had so limited the visual perception that it was like groping in the dark.

Yet, within the Red Dragon Royal Family’s team, the eyes of the youth named Quinn were as sharp as those of an eagle; he clearly saw two silhouettes dashing through the dusk-yellow sandstorm and promptly alerted his teammates, “They’re coming!”

This was exactly as they had anticipated: the opponents planned to assassinate the backline immediately, using the environmental cover.

Hearing the “snap, snap, snap…” of Air Explosions in the air, it was obviously that Air Skill Master slave.

And there was another figure, ghost-like, certainly the assassin.

Since they had expected the opponents’ move, the Red Dragon Royal Family members obviously wouldn’t let them succeed.

The Witch Captain who had stayed in place had already used the Substitute Technique, and Quinn and Willie were there specifically waiting for them!

One had absolute perception, the other could counter the Air Skill Master.

As long as they held their ground for a moment, their two-assassin formation would be enough to kill the opponent’s fragile occupations!

However, watching the two silhouettes in the sand, the four members of the Red Dragons who had stayed put were already prepared for combat, but were shocked to find that their opponents had stopped?

What did that mean?

Shouldn’t the close-combat members take this best opportunity to approach now? What were they waiting for?

The four witches thought it must be some tactic.

However, knowing the formidable strength of that Air Skill Master slave, they also dared not rashly break their four-person defensive formation.

“Quinn, what’s going on?”

“I don’t know. Those two guys are just hiding behind that rock. Shall we…”

…

The fight seemed to have paused for a few breaths.

Yet it was because of this strange stalemate that things suddenly took a dramatic turn.

Without any warning, a scream came from afar.

“Watch out for the sneak attack!”

“Ah!”

“Damn it! How could that guy be here!”

“…”

It took just a few moments before the sounds of “thud,” “thud,” the muffled ringing of hammer blows were heard, and the screaming stopped.

…

The four members of the Red Dragon, holding their ground, then realized that the battle had already begun on the other side!

The screamers were two assassins from their team!

“What’s going on? Are Kelson and Sirry in trouble?”

The four of them were dumbfounded.

They couldn’t understand what had happened all at once.

Both assassins in their team were elites; even if the assassination attempt were unsuccessful, they should at least have been able to retreat unscathed.

Yet, listening to the previous screams, did it sound like they were being outsmarted?

“No, we were the ones outsmarted, that slave never even came over!”

Identifying the distinctive explosive sound of Air Skill punches from the recent combat, the Witch Captain immediately realized they’d been outplayed.

Another person, still not clear why there were two Air Skill Masters in the opposing team, questioned, “But… among the two who rushed over just now, clearly…”

The Witch Captain’s eyes narrowed as she figured something out and angrily exclaimed, “Damn it! That guy used the ‘Explosive Blast Technique’ to mimic the Air Skill Master’s stepping on air, we’ve been duped!”

The usual Wing-clipping Strategy was that the opposing Air Skill Master and assassin would come to attack their Magic Type.

However, in reality, the Air Skill Master didn’t move at all, and some unknown individual came to draw their attention!

It’s no wonder those two guys stopped moving as soon as they got close; they never intended to come over for a head-on clash.

They were simply “bait”!

But now it was too late to realize this.

The situation in the duel was changing every moment.

The fact that the other side had made their move also meant that the two assassins from their own team were more likely dead than alive.

Just a moment ago it was six against six!

Now it was four against six!

The advantage was no longer on the Red Dragon Royal Family’s side.

The Witch Captain’s face darkened, she swore inwardly, but was also extremely decisive, immediately changing their tactics, “Quick! We go in and take out those two guys first!”

In her mind, if the opposing team had killed two of their companions,

then they would immediately close the gap by taking out the two “bait” players.

Moreover, since the Air Skill Master wasn’t there, the bait posed little threat.

However, the Red Dragon members were once again disappointed.

If they could think of it, how could Leonard Churchill not have anticipated it?

The bait was none other than Leonard Churchill and Gale.

By the time they rushed in, Gale had already run off.

And Leonard Churchill, being a Magic Type Card Disciple, knew he couldn’t escape, but he still successfully vanished.

“That assassin got away, Quinn, go after him!”

“The other guy has disappeared!”

“No, that guy has sunk into the quicksand…”

“Damn it! Such despicable tactics!”

“…”

By the time the Red Dragon four charged in, they were newly introduced to “self”‘s “Sinking Sand Strategy” in the New World.

You couldn’t hear a sound through the sand, but Leonard Churchill could still feel the furious trampling over the sand dunes.

At this moment, the spectator stands were utterly silent.

Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the Duel Field where the two squads battled.

But instead of the anticipated fierce combat, they witnessed such an absurd scene.

All of them, whether instructors or students, were completely… stunned.
