Chapter 275 A Tactic To Learn: An Unexpected Win
The audience roared in excitement. Both clans entered the arena proudly.
The Arrogant Squirrels Clan was first to arrive in the middle of the arena. Then, came the Spotted Leopards Clan.
The Arrogant Squirrels Clan contained squirrels that were indeed small in size. However, rather than being cute, they had these stern expressions on their faces. Indeed, one could say that they were arrogant after hearing their mocks. Yes, their mocking behavior was somewhat similar to the hyena group that Shin had met earlier, however, this time, they weren\'t under any status effect or curse.
It was just them undermining their opponents after gaining a lot of power due to an immense amount of luck.
As for the spotted leopards, they seemed rather docile for being a wild animals. Some girls from the human race and the elf race wanted to pet the leopards.
Regardless, none of them was weak. Their strength was more or less on par with the Red Tigers with their leader being an Lv.33 Leopard.
Their yellow fur had spots on them which were obvious from their clan name.
B1 -> Arrogant Squirrels; clan rank: 1443
B2 -> Spotted Leopards; clan rank: 1197
Unlike earlier, each of the clans showcased its strength to the crowd. While it was for the crowd to see their strength before the battle, both clans were actually trying their best to intimidate each other. Both clans believed that if they did that, they would have a better chance of defeating their opponent.
Of course, the leader of Arrogant Squirrels (Lv.30) was asked to come forward and choose a tag.
He got a blue tag meaning they would be required to defend. As for the Spotted Leopards, they had to attack individually.
Regardless, one of the Leopards – the leader – entered the main podium or ring following whom, all the six squirrels appeared.
They were ready to go against each other at anytime.
Shin carefully observed both clans. In order to finish the battle within 10 seconds, he would have to plan his attack and defense well.
Learning from his opponents and others was no shame, so yes, knowing your opponents was the best thing he could do.
Planning ahead, and knowing your opponents – he was only thinking about these two things.
However, before he could think of a plan, the announcer Reosan boomed loudly.
"Second match, are you ready?"
The crowd roared again. Each of them was excited to see the match, especially since the battle between the Red Tigers Clan and Green Hawks Clan was rather exhilarating.
"Second match, let the battle begin!"
In a blink of an eye, a member from the Spotted Leopards marched in to attack the squirrels. As for the squirrels, all of them dispersed making it hard for the Leopard to catch any of them.
After dispersing, they kept attacking again and again with some energy ball attack – "Lightning Ball!"
"Fire Sphere!"
"Freeze!"
These were all some of the spells used by the squirrels. Although the Leader of the Leopards was fast, in fact, quite fast that he was able to dodge attacks from almost every direction, he didn\'t have infinite stamina!
But whatever, the squirrels were surprisingly agile as well.
The leopard was having trouble dealing with them. They seemed all around the place.
\'If I were present there…\'
\'I would have just used my Aura Domain to subdue them…\', Shin thought as he looked at the screen.
Anyway, the leopard continuously fired attacks from its mouth and claws but none of them seemed effective.
The crowd was going wild as with more than a minute in, none of them had stopped moving!
The squirrels continued running around and made the Leopard confused soon after which they attacked at once to knock him out. Of course, the same happened with other leopards as well.
None expected the squirrels to win against the higher ranking Leopards, but after seeing the outcome, everyone went wild as they were surprised.
The battle did take quite some time, but it finally came to an end.
The Leopards couldn\'t find a way to break through the deadlock and fell victim to the Squirrels\' dispersion tactics.
The audience clapped their hands loudly. Some of the members of the crowd were also whistling at the Arrogant Squirrels clan of the battle.
Shin was once again surprised by the battle. He did not expect the outcome of the battle at all.
Unexpectedly, he also wanted to join the crowd and clap for them, but oh well, he couldn\'t do so. What a match!
Aella looked at Shin thoughtfully, "I think we can learn a few of their tricks and strategy."
"Why so?", Shin asked.
"The Arrogant Squirrel Clan had used their most valuable trump card, their small sizes and agility constantly to confuse the foe. I believe that was how they managed to keep their foothold strong."
Shin nodded in agreement. "I agree."
Shin was happy cause Aella commented and thought for a second.
"If we could use the same strategy, we might be able to prevent massive losses as well as win the battle.", Aella suggested. "And it\'ll be much more efficient too."
"I\'ll take note of that."
"But Aella, this might be only possible if all of our members join the battle – that is, a group battle for us."
"Also, we need to maintain high speeds at all times. While these points do decrease our foothold, I think having this strategy in the mind might help us.", Shin commented.
Whilst the battle between the Arrogant Squirrels Clan and Spotted Leopard Clan ended, another battle also took place.
It was a battle between the Night Bats Clan and Lone Kobolds Clan, each of them tagged A3 and A4 respectively.
However, it was less interesting compared to the battle they had witnessed. Shin thought it was less appealing and didn\'t think much about it.
Of course, he did hear the speaker announcing the winner of that battle.
"The winner of this match is, Night Bats!"
Once again, the crowd clapped for the winners.
