When the fourteen hunters of the Ouroboros Hunting Team, led by Andrew Taylor, retreated briskly, across the hunting grounds of the Fringe Hunting Team, the Absolution Hunting Team on the other side was trying to contact the school under the leadership of their captain, hesitating whether to stay put or go to support the patrol team where Linda Barnes was located.
Unlike the Ouroboros Hunting Team, the winter hunting area of the Absolution Hunting Team was located on the outermost side, meaning they had no rear base to retreat to.
And if they abandoned their hunting ground before the end of the winter hunt, they would lose at least half of their points. Facing this dilemma with less than three hours remaining before the end of the winter hunt was truly perplexing.
Of course, another crucial factor in not retreating was that the School Guardian Array was fully deployed, and they were isolated outside the golden barrier with no way to retreat further.
