Chapter 1059 - 1059 Final Preparations
1059 Final Preparations
Grom Blackhand couldn’t comprehend the exact situation, but the foreboding sense grew increasingly apparent. Grom Blackhand was starting to feel that their half-beast people team might encounter unexpected challenges.
However, regretting the situation was futile now, the Will of the Tower had already determined the battle method, and it was unalterable.
For the moment, all Grom Blackhand could do was lead his group of half-beast people to make thorough preparations and give their all to face the impending group battle.
Simultaneously, on the other side of the barrier, Liu Yan and his team members abandoned their pretenses when they learned that the method of determining the victor had been entrusted to the Will of the Tower. They stopped acting because they had already achieved their goal. There was no need for this.
Just moments ago, Liu Yan and his comrades had been filled with fear and nervousness, but now they had completely regained their composure and moved to the rear.
They paid no attention whatsoever to the half-beast people.
The members of Team Origin were now incredibly excited.
The group battle format was undeniably to their satisfaction.
This way, all the members of Team Origin could participate in the battle and collectively confront the half-beast people.
The members of Team Origin were well aware that this was a battle marked by a significant disparity in strength.
More than a battle, it resembled a massacre!
At this juncture, Liu Yan had also gathered a few squad leaders for an impromptu discussion regarding the battle plan.
In truth, everyone had a clear understanding of the overall battle method.
After all, they had engaged in numerous battles before, and their synergy was already exceptional.
Currently, they were merely discussing the finer points based on the circumstances at hand.
Liu Yan addressed the seven squad leaders, saying, “Let’s stick with the previous plan. The sixth and seventh squads don’t need to act yet. In close combat, the first and second squads excel. When the time comes, the first and second squads will take the front positions on the left and right, respectively. The remaining team members will engage in ranged attacks. We’ll make every effort to handle the half-beast people from a distance and prevent them from getting close.”
“And if they do get close, the first and second squads will respond immediately. If an unexpected situation arises that the first and second squads can’t handle, the sixth and seventh squads will step in to assist!”
“The sixth and seventh squads will position themselves in front of the long-range attackers. If the half-beast people manage to break through the first and second squads and reach the rear, your two squads will take action.”
“Remember, even if this battle appears relatively easy, we mustn’t be complacent. Although the half-beast people’s strength is inferior to ours, we can’t underestimate their close combat charging ability, so we must remain vigilant.”
Liu Yan’s plan involved first keeping the sixth and seventh teams from taking action, allowing the other five teams, which were slightly weaker in strength, to gain more experience.
Dealing with these half-beast people naturally favored long-range attacks. If they were forced into close combat, Team Origin need not fear, as their close combat abilities were formidable enough to potentially outmatch the half-beast people.
The arrangement for the sixth and seventh teams to remain in front of the long-range attackers served as an additional safeguard. If any danger arose, these two teams could step in.
This battle plan not only provided the five teams of Team Origin with an opportunity to enhance their skills but also maximized safety.
Liu Yan’s primary goal was to develop their combat strength through this battle, and he wished to avoid any unnecessary casualties that could outweigh the benefits.
The seven squad leaders nodded in agreement with Liu Yan’s strategy.
Ye Yifan had one more question, “By the way, should the experts from our teams act in coordination with ordinary members or separately?”
Experts and ordinary members fighting together would undoubtedly relieve pressure on the latter and ensure their safety. On the other hand, if they separated, it could potentially allow the experts to perform more effectively.
Both approaches had their pros and cons, so Ye Yifan sought clarification.
After brief consideration, Liu Yan responded, “Let’s go separately. The pressure in this battle isn’t that great. Even without the experts’ assistance, ordinary team members should be able to handle it. Splitting up will enable the experts to maximize their effectiveness.”
“Alright!”
Ye Yifan agreed.
Furthermore, Liu Yan added, “Let me clarify our objective for this battle. We don’t just aim to defeat the other side. We want to eliminate them. We need to concentrate our firepower and ensure the complete annihilation of these half-beast people. We don’t want to wound them and allow them to defeat us in return for their lives! Of course, we must prioritize our safety and avoid causing any casualties.”
“Understood!”
The team leaders of Team Origin affirmed their understanding of the plan.
After a brief strategic deployment, the seven squad leaders returned to their respective teams to prepare for action.
In no time, all seven squads were arranged in battle formations, ready for combat.
Following Liu Yan’s instructions, the first and second squads, skilled in close combat, positioned themselves on the front left and right flanks. This formation forced the half-beast people to either engage the first or second squad directly or attempt to break through the middle, leading to an encirclement.
Members of the first and second squads proficient in long-range attacks were separated and joined by those positioned behind them, focusing on ranged attacks.
For instance, Xu Han, known for his proficiency in wide-range ice spells, wisely positioned herself further back, recognizing the impracticality of being on the front lines.
The third, fourth, and fifth squads took positions toward the rear, engaging in long-range attacks and employing spells to deal with the half-beast people from a distance.
Simultaneously, the sixth and seventh squads remained behind the first and second squads but positioned themselves in front of the third, fourth, and fifth squads.
The sixth and seventh squads had no intention of engaging immediately. They were on standby, ready to intervene only if the first and second squads were overwhelmed or if the half-beast people penetrated to the rear, ensuring the safety of the Origin Team with no room for casualties.
Soon, all seven squads completed their deployment.
Murong Xue, displaying her formidable confidence, positioned herself at the very forefront of the entire Team Origin.
Liu Yan, observing this, couldn’t help but feel somewhat resigned at her assertive nature. Nevertheless, he was well aware of Murong Xue’s unparalleled defensive capabilities. Even when confronting opponents of higher combat strength within her tier, she could hold her ground for an extended duration.
Given Murong Xue’s significant increase in combat strength during this period, advancing to the first batch, her defensive capabilities were now remarkably formidable. Even in her frontline position, she faced no real danger.
Despite this, Liu Yan remained cautious and prepared to keep an eye on Murong Xue. If any unforeseen circumstances arose, Liu Yan’s incredible speed would enable him to provide immediate assistance.
Simultaneously, the experts of Team Origin were strategically dispersed, ready to move independently. For these experts, only unrestricted movement would allow them to unleash their potent combat abilities to the fullest, exerting the most significant impact on the battle.
While Team Origin made its preparations, the half-beast people on the opposing side were also gearing up for the impending conflict. Their preparations were even more extensive.
