Honestly, the five Three-Tailed Savage Foxes could actually also just climb up the 50 meters tall rock pillars. But the same case doesn't apply to the majority of their men. The reason for this is because they and the minority of the other Savage Foxes have a high cultivation level, specifically 6 Star to 8 Star level, that could allow them to easily climb up the rock pillars. But the majority of the other Savage Foxes were merely 1 Star to 5 Star level, which would make climbing up those rock pillars difficult for them.
Although those 1 Star to 5 Star Savage Foxes could still possibly climbed up those rock pillars, but the question is, would that person who had caused all of this to happened allow them to do such a thing? Obviously, he would never allow them to do that. And in fact, they could already guess that if it's actually possible to trap all of them here, then that person would certainly not hesitate to do so.
At the very front of the Savage Foxes, Chief Lago was now staring at the Savage Foxes like a predator watching its helpless prey trapped within his sharp claws. The rock pillars have indeed become the cherry on the top of his cake, meaning to say, he has now almost defeated the Savage Foxes. Right now, the only thing left to successfully defeat the Savage Foxes was for them to try and escape this trap he had set.
Chief Lago's trap has two choices for the Savage Foxes to escape. First, the powerful Savage Foxes could jump up the rock pillars to escape, since they are capable of achieving such a feat. But in turn, he would make it impossible for the remaining Savage Foxes to escape his trap. And the second is, if they all decided to charge in the only remaining exit that he had purposely left behind, specifically towards his direction, he would then slowly catch them one by one by using the Vine spell and other Magic spells he had learned about that can restrict them or catch them.
No matter what choice the Savage Foxes would choose, Chief Lago is confident to say that he would be able to maximize the benefits he could get out from them to the fullest.
"Now then, what would you choose to do?" Chief Lago asked inwardly.
Meanwhile, the situation of the north, west, and south sides are now in a stalemate.
All the Leaders of the Magical Beasts have now been killed, but the Magical Beasts still decided not to retreat, though they did stop on their tracks as if waiting for something to happen.
Obviously, this something they are waiting for was the Savage Foxes.
With all of their Leaders now dead, although there are actually still some powerful Magical Beasts remaining alive, the command of all the remaining Magical Beasts was still fully laid onto the shoulders of the Savage Foxes.
If the Savage Foxes decide to continue the battle, then all the remaining Magical Beasts on the battlefield would also continue fighting the battle. If they don't, then only would they choose to retreat.
Of course, it's not because the remaining Magical Beasts are all very stupid that's why they would just throw their lives away as if it's nothing, but rather it's simply because they have no other choice left right now.
All the remaining Magical Beasts knew deep in their hearts that the moment they retreat from this battle, what's waiting for the next would be the Savage Foxes hunting all of them down.
However, if the remaining Magical Beasts choose to continue fighting in this battle, then they would at least have some chances to survive, even if it's only a small chance.
Actually, the situation wouldn't have turned to be like this if the Leaders of the Magical Beasts were still alive. If they were still alive, they would definitely not hesitate to issue a retreat order after seeing that the situation is disadvantageous for them. After all, their Leaders could fight against the Leaders of the Savage Foxes, and they could also decide what's best for the remaining Magical Beasts after retreating from the battle as well.
But now that the Leaders of the Magical Beasts are all gone, the remaining Magical Beasts could only helplessly satisfy what the Savage Foxes needed so as to not offend them.
Unexpectedly, the situation for the Savage Foxes was also not in any way better than theirs. Right now, all of them have fallen into a trap.
Honestly, if only the remaining Magical Beasts were not aware that all of the Leaders of the Savage Foxes are still alive, then they would have definitely started escaping long ago.
Leo and everyone else also understood this point. After all, that's the reason for the stalemate happening right now.
That's why, just like the Magical Beast, Leo and everyone else also turned to look at the east side, specifically at the side where Chief Lago and the Savage Foxes were fighting. Obviously, they all knew that the winner of this battle would be decided on who will win between Chief Lago and the Savage Foxes.
Unbeknownst to almost everyone, right now the Savage Foxes were still unable to decide on what to do.
Apparently, it wasn't only Chief Lago that knew about the consequences of those two choices. The five Three-Tailed Savage Foxes also understood those things clearly as well.
That's why the five Three-Tailed Savage Foxes are unable to decide on what to do, because no matter what choice they choose, they would still end up losing a significant portion of their men. If they choose to escape with only their 6 Star to 7 Star Savage Foxes, they would lose the majority of their men. While on the other hand, there is no telling on how many they would lose if they escape through the opening in front of them, maybe the majority of them would be able to escape, or maybe only a few of them would be able to escape, there's no telling what will really happen.
To simplify the two choices, the first choice has a sure, guaranteed consequence, while the second choice is to bet against Fate.
Although the first choice actually seems to offer the better result, considering that the powerful Savage Foxes would be able to escape. However, this in turn would mean that whichever Savage Fox tribe has the most powerful Savage Foxes that had successfully escaped in them would be able to easily defeat those other Savage Fox tribes with only a few remaining powerful Savage Foxes left. In other words, there would be a huge tilt in power that would change the entirety of all the Savage Fox tribes in this place.
Since all of the five Three Three-Tailed Savage Foxes were the respective Leaders of their own Savage Fox tribe, they of course wouldn't want for such a thing to happen. After all, once that happens, it wouldn't be any different to just simply dying over this place, considering that the most powerful Savage Fox tribe would kill them in order for them to have the full control over all of their men.
On the other hand, if they choose to escape through the only opening in their front, they could bet against Fate to get whether the best possible result or the worst possible result. The former would mean they would still have a considerable force remaining, while the latter would mean this would be the end of their Savage Fox tribe.
Nevertheless, having those two choices is still much better because they could at least choose to fight for what they want, unlike the other, which they could simply only accept what's waiting for them.
Because of those thoughts, the formation of the Savage Foxes was quickly being split into five different portions, with each of them gathering around their own respective Leader.
Seeing this sight, Chief Lago can't help feeling intrigued, "Oho, it seems like they are now thinking of not working together anymore,"
Just like the other Magical Beasts in this place, the Savage Foxes also belong to different Magical Beast tribes, specifically a total of five Savage Fox tribes.
Each of these five Savage Fox tribes has a Three-Tailed Savage Fox as their Leader, while the strength of their forces is different from one another.
Therefore, now that the five Three Tailed Savage Foxes are facing a choice that can threaten the existence of their Savage Fox tribe, they of course wouldn't choose to work together anymore, especially considering that the two escape routes meant different results for them. Some of them could accept it, while others don't want to accept it.
In the next moment, two of the Three-Tailed Savage Foxes choose to escape by jumping up the earth pillars along with all of their own 6 Star to 7 Star Savage Foxes in order to escape, leaving their 1 Star to 5 Star Savage Foxes to fend off on their own.
Those 1 Star to 5 Star Savage Foxes that those two Three-Tailed Savage Foxes have left behind could only look at their respective Leader's retreating figure in disappointment while letting out a sad whimper sound. Right now, they knew that with them being abandoned here, their only choice left is to either join the remaining Three-Tailed Savage Foxes or just accept their Fate of getting captured. However, it didn't take that long for them to choose the former.
Although all of the abandoned 1 Star to 5 Star Savage Foxes knew clearly that they would just end up as mere cannon fodder once they joined the camp of those three Three-Tailed Savage Foxes, at least they still have some small chance to escape here and not get captured. A small chance was all that they needed....
