1101 Admitting Defeat at Light Speed

The Will of Tower had already sounded its announcement, signaling the imminent start of the territory battle.

Time was scarce, leaving no room for Liu Yan and the rest to deliberate further.

Observing this, Lu Dajiang made a firm decision and said, “Let’s follow the captain’s instructions. We’ll choose the safest method. All nine of us will surrender directly. The captain will try to win a few small battles alone!”

The group nodded in agreement.

Liu Yan then turned to Luo Wei, stating, “You’re the weakest. You’ll be the first to step in and concede defeat as soon as the battle commences!”

The necessity for nine consecutive surrenders made the later stages undoubtedly risky.

If the Lakon Territory sensed the intentions of the Origin Territory, they would think of a way to quickly attack, not giving them time to admit defeat.

Especially since the people of Lakon Territory had a grudge against Lu Dajiang and the others. Once they discovered Lu Dajiang and the others, they would be even more ruthless.

Therefore, even though the nine of them had admitted defeat, the order of their battle had to be carefully considered.

It wasn’t just Lu Dajiang, Huang Yuan, and the former Lighthouse territory members who had to delay their entry.

The remaining members, the weaker they were, the earlier their participation.

The sooner one entered the fray, the safer they would be.

Conversely, the later one joined, the higher the danger.

Swiftly, they arrived. The first small battle between the Origin Territory and the Lakon Territory was set to begin.

From the Lakon Territory, someone had already stepped into the arena.

Luo Wei also took a step forward and entered the battlefield.

Once again, the Will of Tower resounded.

“The first small-scale battle is about to commence. Victory will be determined upon one party’s demise or admission of defeat!”

“Countdown to the first small match: 10, 9, 8…”

The two sides had already entered the battlefield. Without a barrier to block their perception, Ding Sheng could sense Luo Wei’s strength.

Sensing Luo Wei’s mere 14-star combat strength, Ding Sheng, who had been a little nervous, immediately relaxed.

As Lakon Territory’s first combatant, Ding Sheng ranked moderately among Lakon’s ten contestants, boasting 19 stars of combat strength, a commendable combat strength.

Yet, unaware of the opposing territory’s might, Ding Sheng harbored some apprehension as the inaugural player.

However, once his opponent took the stage, Ding Sheng felt his opponent’s strength and immediately relaxed.

With a mere 15 stars of combat strength, there existed a significant five-star gap between him and Ding Sheng.

Not only did this mean that Ding Sheng could easily win this small battle, but it also meant that Lakon Territory could easily win any normal territory battle.

In a single battle format, each territory would inevitably field its top ten players.

Even the weakest player from Lakon Territory boasted 18-star combat strength.

Yet, the initial player from the opposing territory had merely 14-star combat strength.

This highlighted a substantial disparity in strength between the opposing territory and the Lakon Territory.

At that moment, Ding Sheng pondered whether, after defeating Luo Wei with 14-star combat strength, he could rack up consecutive victories.

Ding Sheng felt somewhat fortunate. It seemed that being the first on stage had its advantages.

This time, luck was on his side. The opposing territory appeared significantly weak. As the first contender, Ding Sheng wouldn’t just win easily, but he would secure several successive victories.

This also meant multiple opportunities for Ding Sheng to claim substantial rewards.

Each triumph in a small battle triggered rewards, some distributed among the entire territory’s members, while others were personal rewards, offering Ding Sheng substantial benefits.

This was Ding Sheng’s chance to shine and display his prowess!

At this moment, the countdown announced by the Will of Tower had also ended, which meant that the territory battle had begun!

The battle had just begun, but Ding Sheng was not in a hurry at all. After all, he did not know how to lose with the difference of five stars in combat strength.

“Human, which planet are you from?” Ding Sheng teased leisurely.

However, Luo Wei paid no heed.

The moment the battle commenced, he chose to concede defeat.

The moment Luo Wei chose to concede, he was immediately transported off the battlefield by the illuminated teleportation array.

Simultaneously, the Will of Tower’s announcement sounded.

“The first small match, Team Origin has conceded defeat, granting victory to Lakon Territory!”

“Congratulations to Lakon Territory for winning the first small battle. The reward is being randomly selected…”

“Random reward successful. Congratulations on obtaining a group reward. All attributes of all members +100!”

Witnessing this scene, Ding Sheng was instantly stunned.

He never expected the opposing party to choose outright defeat. He hadn’t even made a move, yet they opted for immediate surrender!

Ding Sheng suddenly felt a little aggrieved. His original plan to outmatch and flaunt victory against the opponent was cut short.

Ultimately, the opponent didn’t grant him a chance to display his prowess. They chose to surrender in a split second.

At the same time, Ding Sheng also felt a tad unlucky. The reward for winning the first small battle was a random group reward.

His luck wasn’t on point as he didn’t randomly receive a high individual reward.

Though the group reward benefited all territory members, his gain seemed somewhat lacking.

All attributes +100. For an Awakened like Ding Sheng, possessing a 19-star combat strength, the increase felt rather minor.

Nevertheless, Ding Sheng reconsidered. The opposing territory was weak, and the subsequent players were probably feeble too. Overcoming them would be easy.

Despite this stroke of bad luck, there would be several more opportunities!

Being the first player from Lakon to take the stage granted him this chance!

Simultaneously, the people from Lakon were surprised.

“What’s happening on the other side? He chose to admit defeat?”

“With the barrier around, we can’t sense their strength, but we can sense it once we enter the barrier. I reckon that the other party realized that there’s a huge difference in strength between them and Ding Sheng and that they can’t defeat him at all, so they admitted defeat directly.”

“If the difference in strength is too great, it is indeed wise to admit defeat like this. We can avoid casualties.”

“That’s reasonable, but the opponent admitted defeat so quickly without even trying. Isn’t he too cowardly?”

“That’s right. Even if they took turns to fight, they could still win some small battles and obtain some rewards!”

“Maybe the other side knows the strength of our Lakon Territory and knows that there is a huge gap between us, so they directly admitted defeat!”

“Looks like this territory battle will be much easier.”

“Sigh, the difference in strength is too great. The rewards we can obtain from winning will also be relatively small.”

For a moment, the top experts of Lakon felt relaxed and felt like they could easily win this territory battle, but they also felt that it was a pity.
