The glimmer of hope that had just risen was extinguished once again by the two besieging tribes. At this moment, Haru was utterly despondent, as they had no way out.
Now that things have come to this point, they've stopped running away, and many of the Haru have started quietly taking out all the mushrooms from their bodies and eating them.
Seeing this, I knew something was wrong. These Haru were desperate; they were now determined to fight us to the death.
We've used the "do or die" strategy before, but I never expected Haru would have to resort to it. I know this do-or-die approach can turn Haru into the most insane machine.
Even if we win, it will come at a terrible price. The situation is beyond our control right now. Haru's physical potential will be overdrawn and unleashed after eating the mushroom.
They have no choice but to continue fighting, otherwise, once the effects of the drug wear off, they will become nothing more than a lump of mud at the mercy of others.
Since Haru has made up his mind to fight us to the death, we naturally cannot fall behind.
At that moment, the chief of the Mira tribe stood beside me. He and I exchanged a glance, and he nodded knowingly, indicating that this decision could be left to me.
Time is of the essence, and this is not the time for polite small talk. Someone has to step up and lead the way.
I took a deep breath, and Dante beside me also looked serious, ready to translate simultaneously.
"Listen to me, everyone, this is our last battle with Haru. We fled all the way before not because we were afraid of him, but to preserve our strength."
Think of our friends and family who were killed by Haru; our righteous counterattack will surely achieve final victory.
"We've reached the most critical moment..."
At that moment, Su Su quietly whispered in my ear and interrupted, "Master, please tell me the specifics of what to do. It seems that those Haru have finished preparing and are about to pounce on us."
"Uh...cough cough..."
I felt a little embarrassed. Couldn't these bastards have waited a little longer?
"Everyone, listen to my command and prepare for a full retreat!"
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
Everyone immediately became agitated, but the next second they seemed to realize that something was wrong.
What? Did we hear that right? The entire army is retreating?
Su Su looked at me with surprise. So, Master, all that nonsense you just spouted was just to illustrate the fact of our retreat?
Everyone was even more incredulous, the atmosphere had been built up to this point, everyone was getting excited.
It's like being seduced by a beautiful woman and already taking off my pants, only to be told I want to check if I have hemorrhoids? Are you kidding me?
At this moment, only the chief remained calm. He knew that if the Mira tribe had not been guided by this young man, the tribe would probably have been wiped out by Haru long ago.
Now that he says he wants to retreat, then so be it. The leader has reason to believe that Tang Yi did not put on this whim.
This person was smarter and more cunning than they had imagined. Although his way of doing things was truly astonishing, it was precisely these wildly imaginative ideas that saved the Mira tribe from the abyss.
The leader didn't utter a single unnecessary word, simply saying to Dante, "Execute the order..."
Haru's body was now covered in veins like writhing dragons. The least number of them had eaten two mushrooms, and some had even eaten three.
Haru felt as if all the blood in his body had turned into scorching magma, churning inside him, as if it were about to burst forth at any moment.
"roar……"
The Haru collectively let out a roar that was hard to tell whether it was a feeling of exhilaration or pain. They desperately needed to release the power within them, otherwise the high temperature generated by their rising blood and qi would not be able to be lowered.
Haru's side was ready for battle, and the Mira tribe was also ready to fight. But to the great surprise of the Asaida tribe, those bastards just ran away without looking back.
The leader of the Asada tribe was naturally an extremely intelligent person, and he immediately guessed Tang Yi and his group's intentions.
He wasn't angry at his ally's sudden departure; he just chuckled and muttered a curse under his breath.
"These bastards run really fast."
The next second, the Asaida tribe members followed their leader's order and implemented the same strategy.
There's no reason for our allies to run away while we foolishly stay put and wait for war to break out.
However, they were running in the opposite direction from the Mira tribe, so if Haru wanted to pursue them, he would have to split his forces into two groups.
With a major battle imminent, splitting the army into two groups is a major taboo in military strategy, as it would inevitably increase the number of uncertainties involved.
This was also the unspoken understanding between the shrewd Asada tribe chief and the two intelligent men, Tang Yi.
Now it was Haru's turn to be dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?
Didn't you all surround them and prepare for a final battle? Now that you've taken your drugs, the people on both sides are running faster than anyone else.
In just a few short minutes, only Haru's army remained on the battlefield, still burning with passion.
The Asada and Mira tribes acted as if they had never existed, making things extremely difficult for Haru, who was trying to launch a last-ditch counterattack.
Haru has witnessed the shameless tactics of the Mira tribe many times, so it's understandable that they would run away.
However, the Asada tribe, which had just arrived to provide support, also reached a shameless agreement with the Mira tribe, and withdrew without any warning.
In fact, the chief of the Asada tribe wasn't stupid; he saw through Tang Yi's scheme at first glance. The reason he had been lingering around Haru was probably to trick Haru into eating the mushrooms on his body.
Haru had already subconsciously assumed that since the other side had started the fight, they definitely didn't intend to let their race go. That's why they thought of using the same method as before to temporarily boost their strength by eating mushrooms.
What they didn't expect was that both sides would run away so decisively. Now it's not advisable to chase either of them, and splitting up into two groups is even more impossible.
Now that the pursuers have stopped chasing, we need to hurry and escape. The medicinal effects of these mushrooms are time-limited, so we need to find a suitable place to hide before the weakened state ends.
Otherwise, if the people of the two tribes found out, he would truly become a fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.
Haru's army wasn't stupid; their priority was to escape. Fortunately, they hadn't used up much of their energy yet, so as long as they found a suitable place to hide, getting through their weakened state shouldn't be a problem.
Just as Haru's army left, the Asada and Mira tribesmen, who had been hiding in the shadows all around, appeared at almost the same moment.
They already knew that the mushroom had extremely strong side effects, so all they had to do now was secretly follow Haru.
