Chapter 1695 - 1695 971 The 2nd Deceive the Sky and Cross

Chapter 1695: Chapter 971: The 2nd Deceive the Sky and Cross the Sea_2 Chapter 1695: Chapter 971: The 2nd Deceive the Sky and Cross the Sea_2 The Fourth Prince stared in amazement at the bodies of Lancaster Soldiers, still emitting black smoke, his disbelief deepening in his brown eyes.

“Your Highness, it seems that all of these are the tricks of that despicable scum from another world!”

Old Stone gritted his teeth, his somber face darkening as he slowly spoke, “Although I guessed that the despicable Mr. Lane would mix the real legion with the phantom legion, I never expected that he would disguise my own legion to look like the Commercial Land Army!”

“But how did he manage to do it?!”

The Fourth Prince didn’t even have time to be annoyed, as his expression remained baffled.

“With so many phantom legions created, how could the enemy still have the strength to confuse an entire one of our legions and disguise it with Illusion Technique? Even a Fifth-order peak Illusionist couldn’t achieve that!”

Meanwhile, as the Fourth Prince and his companions fell into a dilemma once more.

All of this was naturally witnessed by Leo Ray and his group on the other side of the battlefield.

“Mr. Lane truly has a divine prediction, that Old Stone actually personally destroyed one of his own Lancaster Legions, that venomous old man must be furious to death by now?”

Elder Evan’s old face was filled with excitement and admiration as he nodded to Leo Ray, “If it weren’t for Mr. Lane’s deployment, our breakout legion, serving as the vanguard, would have been destroyed twice.”

After speaking, another trace of lingering fear appeared on Elder Evan’s face.

It was known that the commander of the breakout legion, Andy, was Evan’s only son, carefully raised and dearly protected since childhood.

If anything were to truly happen to him, this elder of the Sanders Family would probably faint on the spot and never get up again.

In other words, Leo Ray’s series of deployments had undoubtedly saved Andy’s life twice!

Recalling this, the Neutral Elder, who even dared to jump left and right in front of Harrison, couldn’t harbor any malicious intentions towards Leo Ray, almost wanting to kneel before him indefinitely to declare his loyalty and gratitude.

Elder Evan praised him too highly, “I merely took some precautions.”

Leo Ray nodded to the excited elder, and with a light smile, said, “Being able to turn danger into safety for our legion again can indeed be considered killing two birds with one stone.”

Just as Leo Ray said, his deployment was indeed intended to sow confusion by disguising a full Lancaster Legion as one of ours, causing the enemy to fight among themselves as they mistakenly retreated.

After all, the moment the enemy inadvertently revealed a flaw and their defenses collapsed, Leo Ray had sharply picked up on the hint.

He immediately informed the Commercial Land Army, ready to breakout forcefully, not to act rashly, and created the rash breakthrough of the phantom legion to guard against the enemy’s tricks.

Ultimately, the phantom legion, charging at the forefront, exactly fell into the enemy’s Magic Traps, saving our soldiers’ lives—thus, the first triggering of the Magic Traps occurred.

Then, Leo Ray decisively led the disguised Lancaster Legion to lead the charge, to see if the enemy would fall into their trap a second time—attempting to identify the phantom legion amidst the confusion and continue to ambush our side with traps.

After all, with the initial successful deception as a precedent, the enemy likely wouldn’t sit back and do nothing.

True to forecast, the enemy let the frontmost phantom legion pass unhindered, then insanely offloaded a series of lethal Magic Traps onto their own people.

“From this, it’s clear that the enemy can distinguish between the phantom legion and the real legion, but they cannot determine if the real legion was disguised with an illusion.”

“In other words, the enemy still can’t accurately detect our illusion technique, they only used some method akin to detecting aura.”

“Anyway, this also counts as another form of ‘friendly fire’—busy but not in vain. Not only did it use up the enemy’s Magic Traps, but it also prevented our legion from stumbling into the traps.”

Leo Ray gently raised an eyebrow, the smile on his lips growing richer.

Just as Elder Evan had mentioned earlier, that group with the Fourth Prince must have been so shocked they can’t close their mouths, or maybe they’re straightforwardly furious?

After all, this was the second time he had deceived them right under their noses—the only difference being that the first time our soldiers were disguised as the enemy, and this time it was the other way around.

“The most crucial thing is, as long as I continue to disrupt the surrounding Illusion Interference Magic Towers, the illusion can keep working until the opponent finds a new method to solve it,” Leo Ray thought to himself with a slight nod.

Of course, all of this was thanks to Little Illusion and other Illusionists.

However, given Little Illusion’s current capabilities, it was naturally impossible to confuse an entire massive Lancaster Legion by conjuring several phantom legions.

Therefore, following his own command, Little Illusion had merely disguised this particular Lancaster Legion with illusion and conjured a false Lancaster phantom legion to take its place.

Meanwhile, Elusa, Olivia, and Mia had each managed to deceive the legion’s Commander, conjure a false Stone, and confuse the opposing liaison officer, respectively.

“According to the false Stone’s claims, this was a special tactic he deployed to infiltrate Sanders’ camp and launch a sudden attack, so although the illusions on both sides were from the Sanders Army, the other members of the Lancaster Legion didn’t suspect a thing,”

“With both the Commander and liaison officer already deceived by our side, it naturally cut off the opponent’s brains and ears, ensuring complete security.”

“As for the scroll of Illusion Detection thrown by the Prince, if one were to examine it closely, it might reveal some clues, but his attention was solely focused on discerning whether this legion truly existed, and he didn’t notice they had been replaced.”

With this thought, Leo Ray pulled his thoughts back to reality.

Still, while he had managed to make Sanders’ surrounded armies incredibly difficult to recognize,

the situation of our five encircled legions remained unchanged.

Having been tricked twice in a row, the opponents, furious and desperate, would inevitably resort to other lethal tactics.

To counter the opponents’ desperate new methods, his next moves must be divided into two parts.

The first is to counteract any move on their part, to utmost protect the safety of our encircled legions.

The second is to figure out a way for the encircled legions to successfully unite with the other relief legions.

Only by doing so, could they bolster our morale and strive for victory in this war in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, if the opponents were to destroy our encircled legions at all costs, it would be very difficult for us to turn the tide.

“In other words, the success or failure of this war now all hinges on these encircled legions. Presumably, the opponent should also be ready to deploy their top forces soon, and that will be the real moment that determines the outcome of the battle.”

Leo Ray’s eyes sparkled, and he nodded to his subordinates and elders beside him. The group then vanished into the darkness, leaving no trace.

…

“That despicable scum from another world, to think he played us repeatedly with the same tricks!”

After thoroughly analyzing the situation, the Fourth Prince’s face revealed a murderous intent, and he grimly said, “This prince doesn’t want to be entangled with that guy anymore. Why not send our top combat power to wipe out these defeated soldiers once and for all?”

“Your Highness, no need to rush. If we forcibly make a move now, it would exactly play into their hands.”

Lord Kent, performing a chest salute to the Fourth Prince, suggested, “Anger only blinds us and cannot help us win the war.”

“Lord Kent speaks wisely; this prince was a bit impulsive,”

The Fourth Prince quickly regained his composure, turning to inquire from the Yorkman Family Master, “Lord Kent, are you confident that you can eradicate these troublesome defeated soldiers?”

“Please rest assured, your Highness, I have just mentioned that I have ten thousand ways to easily obliterate them,”

Lord Kent, confident, glanced at the still sullen Stone, then issued a chilling smile, “Your Highness, leave it to your servant next. This time, even if that despicable scum from another world creates more phantom legions, those defeated soldiers are definitely doomed!”
