Chapter 978 - 978 No One Can Leave
978 No One Can Leave
Now that he was finally certain, Liu Yan was relieved.
Then, Liu Yan flapped his SSS-grade Wind Wings of Wind God and went back to inform Xu Han, Ye Yifan, Hans Wilson, and the other captains about Team Lighthouse’s movements. He also told them that Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang had most likely switched sides.
However, to be safe, Team Origin wouldn’t choose to launch a siege first. They would defend at the start.
At that time, Liu Yan would lead Luo Feng away and engage in a 1v1 battle.
In this way, he would thus have created conditions for Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s two squads and shown his sincerity.
Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s squads would then suddenly switch sides and attack the two Lakonian squads, after which Team Origin would coordinate with the attack to encircle and annihilate them.
Such a battle plan was undoubtedly the most beneficial for the few squads of Team Origin. It reduced the danger to the minimum.
Before he left, Liu Yan instructed, “Remember, Lu Dajiang’s two squads will be the main attackers when dealing with the two Lakonian squads. We’ll only be supporting them. There’s no need to fight so hard, in the prevention of major casualties. In addition, your main goal is to form an encirclement and prevent any members of Team Lighthouse from leaving. Remember, any members of Team Lighthouse! This includes not only the two Lakonian squads but also Lu Dajiang’s two squads!”
Hearing Liu Yan’s instructions, they could understand the beginning as he had discussed this with them before. The individual combat strength of Team Origin was still far from Team Lighthouse, so when in defense, they could take advantage of various favorable conditions to fight. But in a life-and-death situation, if the members of Team Origin dared to fight head-on, it was very likely that they would face life-and-death battles with the members of Team Lighthouse, causing relatively large casualties.
Therefore, Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s squads were naturally the most suitable for attacking in this besieging battle.
As for Team Origin, other than assisting them, their main task was to prevent the members of Team Lighthouse from escaping. They had to kill them all here.
If any of the members of Team Lighthouse were allowed to leave, it was possible that the news would be leaked and the terrifying Lakon Territory would know about the existence of the Origin Territory. This would bring disaster to the Origin Territory.
However, when the team captains of Team Origin learned that Liu Yan had instructed them not to let any Blue Planet people leave, including La Dajiang, Huang Yuan, and those under them, they were surprised.
“Captain, isn’t this a bad idea?” Xu Han hesitated and asked, “They have just defected to help us, but we are stopping them from leaving?”
Ye Yifan also said with some worry, “Yeah, although they have two squads, they’re not inferior to us five teams in a head-on battle. Isn’t it bad to do that?”
Hans Wilson also agreed, “I also feel that it’s a little inappropriate.”
He Yang and Jin Cheng did not say anything and just stood there quietly.
When Liu Yan heard this, he smiled faintly and said, “I know what you’re worried about, but don’t worry. First, even though the strength of the five squads of Team Origin might not be as good as the two squads of theirs in a head-on battle, don’t worry. As long as I take care of Luo Feng, they won’t dare to touch you with me around! Second, I’m not going overboard by doing this. It was for absolute safety. After all, even if those squad members were all from Blue Planet, after spending so much time with the Lakonians in Lighthouse Territory, they might have already sided with the Lakonions. Thus, for the sake of safety, I am not going overboard by doing this. Instead, I’m also considering the safety of Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s squads.”
Hearing Liu Yan’s explanation, Xu Han and the others felt that it made sense.
After all, preventing the news from being leaked and the Lakon Territory from knowing about the situation here was not only for the safety of Team Origin but also for the safety of Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s squads.
Liu Yan could tell that they were still a little worried, so he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, if anyone of them dares to be disgruntled, just tell them to wait until I arrive. I believe they will give me face.”
Hearing Liu Yan’s words, Xu Han and the others relaxed completely, and they split up.
Liu Yan looked at Xu Han and the others who were leaving and laughed in his heart. He didn’t tell them that if those people didn’t give him any face, he wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson.
He knew that although Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s two squads were made up of people from Blue Planet, they had, after all, been in the Wind Barrier for so long and had interacted with the Lakonians for a very long time. It was very likely that some people’s hearts had changed.
Liu Yan would naturally take care of this small group of people when the time came.
Even if they were from Blue Planet, if they were disloyal and threatened the safety of Team Origin, Liu Yan would not be merciful.
In any case, not only did today’s battle have to wipe out all the Lakonians present, but it also had to ensure that no member of Team Lighthouse could leave. No one could have any chance to spread the situation here.
For the safety of Team Origin, Liu Yan had to eliminate any possible danger and ensure absolute safety!
Team Origin had split up to accomplish their respective roles. Meanwhile, Liu Yan activated his SSS-grade Wings of Wind God and flew straight in the direction of Team Lighthouse.
In the previous battles, he had always been moving with the members of Team Origin. This way, the members could help him stall the rest of Team Lighthouse, making it easier for him to attack.
But this time, it was different. Liu Yan needed to make the first move and lure Luo Feng to fight him.
This way, Team Origin would be much safer, but Liu Yan himself would be in a lot of danger. This meant that he was helping Team Origin take on more danger.
However, Liu Yan had already figured out Luo Feng’s strength, so he wasn’t too worried.
Judging from Luo Feng’s strength from yesterday, Liu Yan could easily take care of him with his SSS-grade weapon, the Flame Demonic Spear. Even if the other party used his trump card, he would be able to take him down with some effort.
Liu Yan had searched through Luo Rui’s memories, so he naturally knew that Luo Feng still had some powerful trump cards that he hadn’t used. Luo Feng hadn’t unleashed his full strength yesterday.
Luo Feng hadn’t used his full strength, but had Liu Yan? He hadn’t shown his full strength either. He was fearless!
Within the dense Hallucinatory Forest, Luo Feng was leading the Team Lighthouse forward.
Team Lighthouse had already spread out into the formation, ready to fight at any time.
After yesterday’s losses, Luo Feng and Team Lighthouse had completely put away their contempt for Team Origin and were now very serious.
In fact, at this point, Luo Feng and Team Lighthouse already treated Liu Yan and Team Origin as opponents of the same level.
Before this, Luo Feng would never have believed that he would treat a new and weak territory that had just arrived in the Wind Barrier, whose novice protection period hadn’t even passed, as an opponent of the same level.
However, after the repeated defeats yesterday and the huge losses, Luo Feng no longer dared to underestimate Liu Yan and Team Origin.
At this moment, Luo Feng was no doubt a little frustrated, not only because the Team Lighthouse lost dozens of members yesterday, but also because of Luo Rui’s death.
Luo Rui was Luo Feng’s only blood kin, his only brother.
Before this, although he had lost contact with Luo Rui, which indicated a high possibility of the latter’s death, Luo Feng still held some hope. He felt that Luo Rui was so strong, with 18-star combat strength. Even if he was injured and failed, he wouldn’t die. After all, there shouldn’t be any powerful existences here that could threaten Luo Rui’s life.
However, after fighting Liu Yan several times yesterday, and even being injured at the other party’s hands several times, Luo Feng realized that not only did Liu Yan have 18-star combat strength, but he was also extremely powerful and troublesome. His combat strength was far from what an ordinary 18-star combat strength Awakened could compare to.
Judging from the terrifying combat strength and how difficult it was to deal with Liu Yan yesterday, it was really possible that Luo Rui had died at the other party’s hands.
When Luo Feng thought about how Luo Rui might have really died at Liu Yan’s hands, his heart ached. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have let Luo Rui carry out this mission. If that were the case, his brother would have been able to avoid such danger.
Luo Feng gritted his teeth, his heart filled with hatred towards Liu Yan.
He was furious. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have held back yesterday and used his trump cards. He might have suffered a greater loss, but he could have taken down Liu Yan as soon as possible.
“Liu Yan, do you think that you’re very powerful just because you can contend with my 19-star combat strength with your 18-star combat strength? Do you know that 19-star combat strength is not my limit?” Luo Feng sneered, muttering to himself.
