1055 Arrogant Beastman

Murong Xue declared, “I’ll crush them shortly!”

Luo Wei added, “Let’s aim to eliminate all of them right here!”

Upon hearing Derek Dole’s explanation, Liu Yan gained a clear understanding. Since the Storm Territory posed a threat to humanity from the Blue Planet, Liu Yan had no intention of showing them mercy when the opportunity arose.

However, Liu Yan maintained his characteristic composure and prudence. He didn’t let this hatred cloud his judgment.

Liu Yan turned to Derek Dole and inquired, “Tell me more about this Storm Territory, especially regarding their strength.”

Derek Dole nodded slightly and replied, “Most of what I know comes from the public channel, but the Storm Territory doesn’t reveal much. My knowledge is limited, but I can tell you that they excel in close combat and aren’t proficient in long-range attacks. However, their close combat prowess is formidable, with terrifying physical strength. They can overpower opponents of the same level, including humans and even fierce beasts or monsters. On the flip side, these half-beast people generally lack long-range attack abilities. Yet, there are some mages among them who can cast group buffs, including group acceleration and charging, which aids them in closing the distance.”

Liu Yan nodded in understanding. While he didn’t possess an in-depth knowledge of the Storm Territory, predominantly comprised of half-beast people, he grasped the basics.

While these half-beast people excelled in close combat, it was only when facing opponents of equal standing. Team Origin’s strength far exceeded theirs, leaving Liu Yan utterly confident.

Therefore, even if Origin Territory and Storm Territory engaged in close-quarters combat, Liu Yan harbored no concerns. Instead, he was brimming with confidence.

Nonetheless, he saw no necessity in resorting to close combat. Doing so might lead to casualties among Team Origin, a scenario Liu Yan was keen to avoid.

In this battle, Liu Yan not only aimed to guide Team Origin to victory but also to do so without incurring any losses.

Hence, while they prepared for close combat, it seemed more fitting to attempt resolving the conflict through long-range attacks.

If there was no alternative, allowing Team Origin and the Storm Territory to engage in close combat would be a last resort.

Liu Yan had already outlined the general battle plan, with a detailed strategy already taking shape in his mind.

Ever since assuming the role of Team Origin’s captain, Liu Yan’s mindset had undergone significant changes.

In the past, he had fought alone, focused solely on his well-being. With his remarkable mobility and combat skills, Liu Yan’s fighting style had been highly adaptable and free-flowing, capable of swift adjustments. After all, he had wielded formidable strength as his foundation.

However, becoming Team Origin’s captain transformed Liu Yan’s perspective. When facing group battles like this, he habitually crafted a rough battle plan in advance.

Certainly, in group warfare, aside from the strength of the opposing sides, the specific battle strategy plays a significant role in determining the outcome.

Especially in such group warfare, once it commences, it’s challenging to alter the plan. This emphasizes the necessity of formulating an accurate battle strategy in advance. Doing so allows for effective leadership of the team in battle, not only showcasing the team’s overall strength but also achieving various objectives.

At this moment, Liu Yan was also contemplating detailed battle plans tailored to Team Origin and Storm Territory’s specific circumstances.

However, before the actual territorial battle could begin, they needed to decide on the mode of combat.

Liu Yan glanced at the squad captains of the seven squads, all of whom nodded in understanding. They stepped forward alongside Liu Yan to engage in preliminary discussions with Storm Territory regarding the chosen mode of combat.

There were three types of combat modes, which were siege battles, group battles, and one-on-one duels.

Siege battles were the most challenging, requiring the conquest of the opponent’s stronghold. However, if successful, the rewards were the greatest. Not only would they gain access to all the opponent’s resources and personnel, but they would also receive generous rewards from the Will of Tower.

On the other hand, one-on-one duels were the simplest. Each side would select ten team members to engage in a series of one-on-one battles in an arena. The victor would continue to face the next challenger, and the process would repeat until a side emerged as the ultimate winner. One-on-one duels were undoubtedly straightforward, as long as their top combatant could defeat the opposing side. However, victory in a territory battle through one-on-one duels typically yielded smaller rewards.

Group battles fell in between. While they offered better rewards than one-on-one duels, they were less rewarding than siege battles. In terms of difficulty, group battles posed moderate challenges.

The key characteristic of group battles lay in their brutality. Engaging in a direct group confrontation often resulted in significant casualties. Regardless of whether it was the losing or winning side, the ultimate losses were substantial.

Group battles were a method many territories tended to avoid. While victory yielded rewards, the losses incurred were not insignificant. In the event of defeat, the losses could be severe. It could be said that neither side gained substantial benefits.

At this moment, the half-beast people on the opposite side, upon seeing that they were facing a human tribe, began to mock and ridicule.

“These humans are quite puny, aren’t they? So small!”

“Haha, look at them, these humans barely reach my stomach. They’re incredibly short!”

“It seems that in this territory battle, we’ll easily come out on top. They are just a group of weak humans!”

“A few days ago, we nearly wiped out a nearby human territory. If they hadn’t sought refuge within their territory using the territory barrier, we would have annihilated them by now!”

“Haha, it doesn’t matter. After all, the territory barrier has vanished. Once this territory battle is over, we’ll head over to level that human territory!”

The group of half-beast people laughed scornfully, openly displaying their disdain for the Origin Territory composed of humans.

The members of Team Origin were feeling somewhat displeased by this condescending attitude.

After all, the members of Team Origin were all exceptional individuals who had fought their way to this point, rising above numerous competitors.

Especially since they had arrived at the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower, the members of Team Origin had faced significant challenges. However, they had successfully overcome these obstacles, reaping substantial benefits and greatly enhancing their strength.

It could be said that the current Origin Territory was a truly exceptional presence among the new territories.

Nevertheless, they were currently being looked down upon by the half-beast people territory, which was only ranked within the top 100 in this batch of new territories. Naturally, the members of the Origin Territory felt somewhat aggrieved.

However, following Liu Yan’s prior instructions, they could only bear the frustration silently. They all maintained their silence without offering a retort.

They intended to release their pent-up frustration against the half-beast people during the forthcoming territory battle.

It was useless to talk, only real weapons would be useful!
