903 Still a Huge Gap

Other than the ordinary members, the Origin Territory was also far inferior to the Lighthouse Territory in other aspects.

The difference in the overall number of people on the team was also quite substantial.

Team Origin only had three hundred members. According to Liu Yan’s observations, Team Lighthouse had more than three hundred members.

Including Lakonians, the total number of people at Team Lighthouse was probably more than 700.

There was already a huge difference in their average combat strength, and the difference in their numbers was almost double. The gap between Team Origin and Team Lighthouse was indeed huge.

In addition, there was also a difference between the experts in terms of combat power and numbers.

The only consolation was that Liu Yan’s strength was strong. He was the same as Luo Feng and Luo Rui, having reached 18-star combat strength.

Both of them had 18-star combat strength. Even though they had never fought head-on, Liu Yan was still extremely confident in his strength.

If it was a one-on-one, Liu Yan had sufficient confidence to take Luo Feng or Luo Rui down.

Even if he had to face the two of them alone, Liu Yan still had a certain amount of confidence.

Zheng Tainan heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, the Lighthouse Territory shouldn’t be able to find trouble with us for the time being. They’ll probably be busy with the Flaming Mountain. We still have time.”

Liu Qing said, “That’s right. Our strength has increased so quickly. As long as we have more time, we won’t have to be so afraid of the Lighthouse Territory after our strength has increased.”

“When we all level up, let’s teach the Lighthouse Territory a lesson together,” Liu Ning said.

At this moment, Shi Hao looked at Liu Yan with a somewhat solemn expression and said, “Captain, since you called us here today, there should be something important to discuss, right? Is it related to the Lighthouse Territory?”

When Shi Hao said this, everyone was stunned for a second, but they quickly reacted.

Liu Yan obviously couldn’t gather them here. He just wanted to understand the progress of Team Origin’s members. Obviously, there were more important things to discuss.

The most crucial matter to Origin Territory was Lighthouse Territory.

Xu Han couldn’t help but recall that Liu Yan had returned to the Origin Territory today. She guessed, “Captain, did you find anything when you returned to the Origin Territory today?”

Ye Yifan asked, “Could it be that the Lighthouse Territory has already started to target our Origin Territory?”

Hans Wilson said, “That’s not right. The Lighthouse Territory should have investigated the situation of Flaming Mountain and the Flame Demon King first. Could it be that they found out that it was Captain who killed Flame Demon King so quickly?”

He Yang replied, “If that’s the case, the Lighthouse Territory will think of ways to target us. After all, Captain has taken care of the Flame Demon King. The Lighthouse Territory will know we have completed this S-grade mission and obtained a generous reward. They will not let us develop peacefully.”

“I thought I could have a few days of peace, but it looks like it’s not going to happen.” Jin Cheng sighed.

Liu Yan faced everyone’s gazes and did not hide anything. He nodded and said, “That’s right, today I discovered that one of the vice-captains of Lighthouse Territory, Luo Rui, has already led some experts to surround and ambush our Origin Territory. Now, it seems that they have found out that I was the one who killed the Flame Demon King through some clues. Naturally, they are so eager to target our Origin Territory.”

Derek Dole said, ” This Lighthouse Territory is a level 5 territory. They’re really strong. It was able to find out from the clues on the Flaming Mountain battlefield that Captain had killed the Flame Demon King so quickly.”

Sun Wen added, “There’s only the Lighthouse Territory and our Origin Territory around this area. It’s not strange that the Lighthouse Territory came looking for us. What happens next is crucial.”

“That’s right,” Chu Cunrui said, “We’re not in the Origin Territory at all now. It won’t affect us if they surround the Origin Territory.”

Luo Wei asked, “Captain, did Luo Rui and the others from Team Lighthouse realize that we’re not in the Origin Territory?”

The experts of Team Origin also looked at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan shook his head and said, “At that time, I did not leave the protection range of the territory barrier of the Origin Territory. In addition, I was more careful. Luo Rui and the others should not have been able to detect my movements. However, as for how late they would discover that there were no members of our team in the Origin Territory, I do not know. However, I estimate that with the strength of the Lighthouse Territory, it should not be long. Likely, they have already investigated that we are in the depths of the Hallucinatory Forest and will invade tomorrow. Therefore, I called you guys over. It’s also to discuss the countermeasures against the Lighthouse Territory in advance. We have to prepare in advance.”

When everyone heard this, they finally understood. No wonder Liu Yan had gathered all of them here. It turned out that it was to discuss such an important matter.

Derek Dole nodded slightly. “It seems that Team Lighthouse is stronger than we expected. They can move so quickly. It seems that it won’t be long before they find this place. We don’t have much time left. We can’t develop peacefully anymore. We have to start preparing.”

Sun Wen said, “I thought we would have some time to develop. But it seems like we don’t have that time anymore.”

Xu Han added, “It’s a bit stressful. Although we received generous rewards from the S-grade mission and our strength increased, the gap between us and Team Lighthouse is huge.”

Ye Yifan said, “Fortunately, we have the protection of this group of Withered Tree Spirits. We still have some bargaining chips.”

Zheng Tainan replied, “If it doesn’t work and we can’t resist the attack of the Team Lighthouse, we can just return to the Origin Territory.”

When Luo Qingcheng heard Zheng Tainan’s words, she immediately shook her head and denied it. “No, no matter what, we can’t return to the Origin Territory. Although the Origin Territory has the protection of the territory barrier and is very safe, if we can’t defeat Team Lighthouse and return to the Origin Territory directly, we will be trapped in the Origin Territory by Team Lighthouse and restrict our development. At that time, we will definitely die.”

Hans Wilson nodded in agreement. “That’s right. If we aren’t a match for Team Lighthouse this time and escape back to the Origin Territory, our Team Origin’s development will be restricted while Team Lighthouse will be able to develop safely. The gap between Team Origin and Team Lighthouse will only get bigger and bigger. When the territory barrier disappears, it will also be the time when our Origin Territory perishes.”

He Yang said, “It looks like this battle is unavoidable. We have to defend against Team Lighthouse’s attack.”

“Fortunately, we’ve improved a lot,” said Jin Cheng. “With the protection of a sea of Withered Tree Spirits, we still have a certain amount of strength to resist the attack of the Team Lighthouse.”

Luo Wei also nodded. “During today’s training, I especially observed the nearby terrain. The terrain in the depths of the Hallucinatory Forest is indeed extremely beneficial to the Withered Tree Spirits. If we were to fight head-on in the open, we might not be a match for the Team Lighthouse even with the Withered Tree Spirits. However, it’s different in the depths of the Hallucinatory Forest.”
