Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1716 - Chapter 1716 Chapter 982 Disguise and Breakthrough

Chapter 1716: Chapter 982: Disguise and Breakthrough Chapter 1716: Chapter 982: Disguise and Breakthrough “The reason the Fourth Prince hasn’t launched a full-scale attack must be because of something strange about these Alchemy Puppets!”

On the tense battlefield, Leo Ray’s gaze revealed an uncontrollable surge of excitement as he clutched his sword, Rolanddel.

Due to the application of a “Discrete Magic Array,” the Alchemy Puppets were greatly restricted.

That was why the enemy couldn’t commit their entire top-tier combat power in the same area, leading to six Alchemy Puppets attacking at once!

“With this in mind, all of the opponent’s previous series of strange actions can be explained.”

The excitement in Leo Ray’s eyes became more evident, and he looked positively thrilled.

With this new clue of the “Discrete Magic Array,” the jumbled puzzle of a desperate situation finally coalesced into a complete picture, and he caught a glimpse of the light of victory hidden within!

Initially, the reason the enemy first revealed six Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets and then verbally attacked our morale was precisely to weaken our will to fight, attempting to make us crumble without a fight.

After all, in the same area, the enemy could only deploy two Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, hardly able to create an overwhelming advantage over us–it would, at best, be an equal struggle.

“Knowing that the Alchemy Puppets couldn’t all attack, the Fourth Prince still chose to reveal all of the Puppets, merely to bluff and create a superficial sense of overwhelming superiority, in an attempt to psychologically crush us.”

“This also explains why the Fourth Prince has not sent the other four Alchemy Puppets into the battle. It’s not that he didn’t want to, but due to the restrictions of the ‘Discrete Magic Array,’ he simply couldn’t do it!”

“I must say, the enemy truly played a brilliant game of psychological warfare.”

“If it had not been for Gals, who is well-versed in Alchemy Puppets, noticing the signs in time, who could have imagined that there would be Tier 5 forces that could defend but not engage in battle simultaneously?”

At this thought, a drop of cold sweat formed on Leo Ray’s forehead.

In short, this was precisely the carefully disguised facade of a battle with no chance of survival!

Thankfully, it was discovered in time; otherwise, under the intimidation of the four Alchemy Puppets, we wouldn’t have been able to hold out for long, and the inevitable outcome would have been destruction.

While feeling relieved, Leo Ray’s mind was still rapidly processing the situation.

“In the same vein, it’s not surprising that Nolan tried to sway Rolanddel to join them before the battle started. Only by doing so could they secure their advantage in combat power. Alas, due to poor character, he did not succeed.”

Leo Ray thought this to himself as he gently raised an eyebrow.

No wonder the enemy didn’t commit more than two Alchemy Puppets in the same area during the breakout battles, unable to create an overwhelming advantage against our Tier 5 Strong.

Moreover, the battles involving Jasper Richardson, Taylor, and Red Night were all far apart, nearly all at the edges of the breakout battlefield.

This corroborated from the side that the enemy’s Alchemy Puppets were indeed subject to the “Discrete Magic Array.”

“I had been wondering why the enemy didn’t just concentrate all their top combat power to behead me and Ariel Watson, and now the answer is very obvious.”

Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly as he quickly estimated the area of effect of the “Discrete Magic Array” based on the positions of the three Tier 5 battles below and their location.

“At least within a radius of three kilometers, these Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets can’t enter combat simultaneously with three or more, can they?”

Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

Thus, the opponent’s intention of deliberately showing weaknesses, hoping to lure himself and Ariel Watson to flee, was also very clear.

Once he and Ariel Watson indeed chose to flee, the enemy would undoubtedly use the Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets to seal off the overlapping area of the “Discrete Magic Array.”

In turn, it would lead him and Ariel Watson to voluntarily move to an area away from the other Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets. As such, the previously unable to engage Puppets would then be free to re-enter the battle.

At that point, Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, having chosen to escape, would have actively entered into another inescapable death trap with no hope of escape.

“It seems that what I said earlier, ‘A desperate fight still offers a glimmer of hope, but to retreat from here is to certainly face death,’ was indeed correct.”

In the blink of an eye, Leo Ray sorted out the whole sequence of events in his mind.

Despite possessing comparable combat power to ours, they still chose to take the initiative, creating a semblance of a crushing situation, aiming to psychologically defeat us and ultimately win the battle.

I must admit, the Fourth Prince and his people are indeed extremely cunning.

“And then there’s that old fellow Nolan, who kept emphasizing in his speech that they were fully prepared. In fact, he was just bluffing as well.”

Leo Ray knit his brows, then relaxed them again.

Coupling the previous state of the battle with the enemy’s series of actions, there could be two reasons if one were to think about it differently. The first is that the Fourth Prince and his people are overly confident, not believing we’d find such an inconceivable flaw.

The second is that I have indeed driven the enemy to a dead end. Once our reinforcements arrive, their defeat is certain, hence they have no choice but to make a desperate move.
