Chapter 136: The Best Outcome
The distance between the two sides was so close that in the darkness of the night, the two sides could still see each other's expressions clearly.
The two strange humans looked tired, as if they had just experienced something difficult.
It was true, they were the members of the two academies besieging the hill camp, and after the continuous fierce fighting, due to the decline in mental power, they retreated into the dense forest, exchanged with the people who originally acted as defenders, and prepared to relaunch a new round of general attack after a little recovery.
At this moment, the two of them looked stunned, completely unaware that a centaur would emerge.
There is no doubt that the fierce centaur in front of him is also a contestant, and the terrifying aura he exudes makes the two contestants who have just experienced the battle react reflexively.
One casts defensive magic to protect themselves, while the other casts communication magic to warn their teammates who are still fighting. This is the most critical point in the battle, and any mistake can lead to a total loss, so you can't be cautious.
The next moment, a thick earthen wall appeared, blocking them.
Osa's red eyes stared at the two of them, and although his sanity was seriously reduced, and although humans looked similar, he could tell that these two were not his targets.
Originally, he didn't plan to ignore the other party, but continued to chase the target, but the sudden fluctuation of magic power made him feel threatened, and the long wooden hair in his hand unconsciously reversed direction.

Leo didn't look back at the results, but continued to run towards the camp.
As he expected, the centaur and those two men would have at least half a chance of a fight, further weakening the besiegers. Because they are also enemies between themselves, in an extremely sudden situation, there is no reason to just say hello and leave each other. And even if they didn't fight, it would be enough to delay for a while. Because of Leo's real goal. It's not there.
Only a few hundred meters away from the camp, Leo could already see that six people were besieging the camp in two squads.
Even with the protection of the magic array, the camp was still severely damaged, and the magic of the counterattack was sparse, and it could not be compared to the attack at all.
With three against six, or even with three against eight, it is indeed too reluctant. This is still without the participation of other teams, if there are four more people. Maybe the camp will be breached overnight.
Leo stopped slowly, not acting rashly. Even if the enemy is in the light and you are in the dark, it is really a crazy and stupid move to attack six people alone.
He had to wait, wait for things to turn around.
After a few moments, the six people in front of them slowed down their attack, and two of them exchanged a few words. Immediately afterward, two of the six were separated. Quickly move towards the forest.
Leo smiled silently, it seemed that things were going towards the third possibility, and the best, he had expected: the centaurs had fought with those two men, and the two in front of him must have come to their aid.
The next decision is easy to make.
As for the second possibility: there was no fight between them. The centaur continued to pursue him, not so well, but he was able to handle it.
As long as the old plan is repeated, the centaurs will once again be exposed to these six people. Believing that they will never let their back roads be threatened, they will either expel and attack the centaurs, or retreat on their own. This frees the siege of the camp and gives himself and his three teammates a chance to take it in stride.
As for the worst-case third possibility, the battle did not take place, and the centaurs did not come after them. In that case, Leo would have to face the six of them on his own.
"It seems that the scales of fortune have begun to tilt. “
Leo smiled silently, gathered his mental strength, and quickly climbed a big tree not far away. He didn't cast magic or use a magic ring to prevent his enemies from being wary of his enemies.
After a while, two people who had received a warning and went to help their teammates appeared in sight.
Silently, Leo reached into his arms and pulled out a flask, ready to throw it when the enemy came under the tree.
But soon, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly adjusted this stupid plan.
Attacking enemies when they come under the tree does guarantee a success rate, but the shockwave generated by the bursting potion will definitely cause trouble for you.
In the blink of an eye, the two unsuspecting men ran under the tree, and Leo locked onto his target, waiting for them to run twenty meters before throwing the flask out.
A second later, the burst flown over the men's heads and fell. When it came into contact with the hard ground, the glassy flask shattered.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion occurred in an instant, and in the dark night, the raging flames made people unable to open their eyes.
Since they were only half a meter away from the center point, the force of the explosion blasted the two people out like kites with broken strings, and they fell to the ground motionless. However, from the fact that they were not teleported back, it can be seen that there should be some kind of defense on their bodies, so they did not suffer fatal damage, and probably just passed out.
Leo endured the boiling heat, endured the urge to go down and mend the knife, and continued to observe the situation ahead.
The sudden explosion immediately caused the four people in front of them to panic, and the rearguard encountered the enemy, and the people sent to help were ambushed, and they did not know what to do for a while.
How did the originally good situation suddenly change?
The map shows that there are indeed some teams watching the periphery, but they don't come, so who is the enemy? and where did it come from?
In the camp, Leia was also confused.
Under the enemy's repeated attacks, I am afraid that the magic array will not last long before it is exhausted. Because the disparity in numbers is too great, the enemy can constantly attack, rest, attack, and rest alternately, but his own side cannot be careless in the slightest, and can only force itself to deal with it.
But with the explosion in the distance, the enemy suddenly stopped attacking, which made her wonder if it was the enemy's suspicious tactics to lure her to relax her defenses.
At this time, the four people outside the camp suddenly turned around in unison and hurried towards the place where the outbreak occurred.
Seaburton shouted, "They're withdrawing! Shall we pursue?"
"No, watch out for their tricks, wait until Leo returns!" replied Leia, firmly.
As soon as the words fell, the center of the camp rippled with a trace of magical fluctuations.
The three of them hurriedly looked back and saw the magic mark left by Leo light up.
Lea was overjoyed and shouted to the other two, "Chase them, hold them back, don't let them run!" )
