Chapter 1156 Choice of Training Directions

The core members of Team Origin had already dispersed.

Only Liu Yan, Huang Yuan, and Lu Dajiang were left beside the bonfire. They were discussing the specifics of their upcoming training expedition.

“Do you have any suggestions for the direction of our expedition?” Liu Yan inquired of Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang.

Training expeditions were full of uncertainties. One could not have planned everything, nor could one have predicted everything that would happen in advance.

However, it was still necessary to have planned the general direction.

Especially for the Origin Territory. Under such harsh circumstances, the experts of the Origin Territory needed to urgently increase their strength.

If the place for experiential learning had no danger or opportunities, going there for training would have been a waste of time and would not have increased their strength too much.

If it had been in the past, it would have been fine if they had wasted a little time like that. At the very least, there would not have been any danger.

However, for the current Origin Territory, who knew when they would have had to face the Lakon Territory and start a war with them?

Under such an urgent situation, the plan had undoubtedly been crucial to the experts of the Origin Territory.

Of course, it wouldn’t have been good to have been too dangerous either. It would have been too easy to get into danger. If an accident had happened, the gains wouldn’t have made up for the losses.

Losing any expert would have been a huge loss for the Origin Territory.

After all, those were all experts. Not only were they powerful then, but they also had an unlimited future. They couldn’t afford to lose them.

Liu Yan also expressed his thoughts: “That was about it. We aimed to train in directions with some risks and opportunities, sufficient for the experts of our territory to quickly enhance their skills. However, we also couldn’t afford to be too risky. At most, some experts would get injured, and we aimed to avoid any fatalities.”

Liu Yan wouldn’t have known enough about the surrounding environment. Naturally, he could have only consulted Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan. After all, the two of them would have been more familiar with the surrounding environment.

Huang Yuan smiled helplessly and said, “Captain, of course, I understand this. However, I don’t know much about the surrounding environment. As you know, I’ve always led squads to distant places for training and completing missions. I’m more familiar with environments further away. There are indeed a few places that would be more suitable for the current situation. However, they are a bit far. Not only would the journey take time, but it would also be prone to accidents. Especially on long journeys, it would be easy for Lakon Territory’s spies to discover us. It wouldn’t be suitable.”

Liu Yan pondered for a moment and nodded. “A distant location wouldn’t be suitable indeed. It would be time-consuming and prone to accidents. It’s best to choose somewhere closer.”

This time, Liu Yan and the others had to lead the experts of Team Origin out for training and rapid skill enhancement, risking discovery by Lakon Territory’s spies.

But wouldn’t all of this have been a move born out of necessity?

Under the current circumstances, Liu Yan and the others naturally didn’t want the people of Lakon Territory to discover the location of Origin Territory.

Although there was bound to be a battle of life and death between Origin Territory and Lakon Territory, Liu Yan and the others naturally wanted to delay their arrival as much as possible.

Until that moment, despite the significant increase in Origin Territory’s strength, there was still a considerable gap between them and Lakon Territory.

The strength levels of the two sides were fundamentally different.

If Origin Territory had confronted Lakon Territory at that time, it would have been suicide.

Thus, even though they were going out for training, they had to maintain as much secrecy as possible.

Seeing that Huang Yuan had no reference to offer, Liu Yan couldn’t help but look at Lu Dajiang.

After careful consideration, Lu Dajiang said, “If we wanted to meet those criteria, the most suitable training ground for Origin Territory experts, while being nearby, was only one, the eastern island area.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuan’s expression changed immediately. He exclaimed, “Lu Dajiang, are you crazy? That’s the old site of our Lighthouse Territory. Lakon Territory would surely have sent scouts to investigate. Are we heading there to die? Are you afraid they won’t discover us?”

Liu Yan also looked at Lu Dajiang with some doubt. Everything was as Huang Yuan had said. Wasn’t the eastern island region the former site of Lighthouse Territory?

Even though some time had passed, Lakon’s spies must have investigated the area.

Training there at that juncture would undoubtedly have been too risky.

At that moment, Lu Dajiang glanced at Huang Yuan with disdain and replied, “Huang Yuan, I admit you had more experience than me in training and exploration. After all, you led squads on such missions year-round. But when it came to understanding the environment around the Lighthouse Territory, you couldn’t compare to me. I was confident in suggesting the eastern island area for training.”

Huang Yuan considered it. Indeed, he knew little about the environment around the Lighthouse Territory.

Especially the Eastern Sea Islands, despite their proximity, remained largely unexplored. Therefore, even Huang Yuan had limited knowledge of the area.

“Brother Lu, could you explain why? Was that place suitable for us to train with our people now?” Liu Yan asked, puzzled.

Lu Dajiang smiled confidently and then said, “That was natural. While it may have seemed dangerous to train there, given the old site of the Lighthouse Territory, the reality was quite different.”

Liu Yan and Huang Yuan looked at Lu Dajiang, waiting for an explanation.

Lu Dajiang continued, “Firstly, the environment there is highly suitable for our Team Origin experts to train. There are plenty of opportunities to enhance our skills. Although it poses risks, with our experienced guidance, staying within safe limits is manageable. Moreover, the perennial deep fog in the area not only hinders visibility but also perception, making it less likely for Lakon Territory scouts to detect us. As long as we avoid the former Lighthouse Territory site upon entry, it’s relatively safe.”

Only then did Liu Yan recall that the eastern island region was shrouded in deep fog, greatly impairing both vision and perception.

Liu Yan’s apprehension diminished considerably.

“That makes sense,” Liu Yan agreed. “Even if we encounter Lakon Territory’s scouts, the deep fog should make it easier to evade them without being tracked. As long as we’re cautious, it should be relatively safe.”

“Not bad,” Lu Dajiang continued. “The unique environment there is indeed ideal for us to minimize exposure and enhance our strength. It’s the most suitable location for us in the vicinity.”

Trusting Lu Dajiang’s judgment, Liu Yan didn’t inquire further. He simply affirmed, “Alright, then we’ll proceed to explore the eastern islands. We’ll lead the operation and exercise caution.”

Huang Yuan turned to Liu Yan and suggested, “Captain, I propose that Lu Dajiang lead this operation. He’s more familiar with the environment there. It’s undoubtedly a better fit. Additionally, I suggest you operate independently to focus on strengthening yourself.”
