Chapter 1155   Split Up

Liu Yan looked at everyone’s expressions and continued, “I believe everyone understood my consideration clearly. Therefore, sooner or later, we would be discovered by Lakon Territory. Sooner or later, we would have to confront Lakon Territory head-on. The time for that wouldn’t be too long. Therefore, we could abandon any illusions and face reality. It’s impossible to develop slowly until our strength surpasses Lakon Territory. We must quickly enhance the overall strength of Origin Territory. We need to at least have the strength to defend against Lakon Territory, if not surpass it. Hence, the most crucial thing now is to swiftly enhance our strength. The next important thing is to conceal ourselves and delay Lakon Territory’s discovery of our location for as long as possible. This way, we can have enough time to grow our strength.”

….

The core members of Team Origin fell into deep thought after hearing Liu Yan’s words.

After a while, voices gradually emerged.

“Captain, you’re right,” Sun Wen was the first to speak. “Since the battle between our Origin Territory and Lakon Territory was unavoidable, we could only try our best to increase our strength.”

“Yes, indeed,” Derek Dole agreed. “And this time wouldn’t be too long. We must seize the time and increase our strength as soon as possible. There’s not much time left for us. No one knows when Lakon Territory would find us here and discover our location. Then, their members would press down on us, and a war would break out at any moment.”

Lu Dajiang nodded and said, “This place isn’t far from the previous Lighthouse Territory. Although we cleaned up the traces, we couldn’t completely erase them. Lakon Territory might have already discovered something and guessed that our Origin Territory is nearby. They might already be searching for us nearby.”

Wei Feng sighed. “In that case, it won’t be long before Lakon Territory discovers us. Soon, we’ll have to face them head-on.”

Ning Shanshan said helplessly, “It’s bullying. Lakon Territory is ranked in the top thousand territories, and within the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower, it’s a truly powerful territory. And now, they want to make trouble for our new territory.”

Liu Qingrou said worriedly, “If we have to face Lakon Territory soon, we won’t be a match at all. Although our Origin Territory has grown a lot during this period, we’ve only reached the 4000s. There’s still a huge gap between us and Lakon Territory.”

Xu Han sighed, “It seems like we can’t escape this.”

Ye Yifan was also a little helpless. “I thought we still had some time to develop. Now it seems that we are really in a hurry. There is not much time left for us.”

Liu Yan continued, “Yes, but there’s no need for everyone to be so worried. Our goal isn’t necessarily to catch up to Lakon Territory in strength before facing them. We just need to continue growing rapidly, narrowing the gap between Origin Territory and Lakon Territory. As long as the disparity between our Origin Territory and Lakon Territory isn’t too large, even though we may not be able to defeat Lakon Territory, we can at least rely on Origin Territory to defend against them. That would be sufficient for now, ensuring our safety first, and then we can gradually figure out how to overcome Lakon Territory in the future.”

“Not bad,” Hans Wilson agreed. “Captain, you have a point. We should first grow to the point where we can defend against Lakon Territory. Then, we can continue to increase our strength and think of a way to defeat it.”

He Yang said, “If we just defend Lakon Territory, the pressure will indeed be less. We just need to grow stronger.”

“Yes,” Jin Cheng replied. “After all, we can rely on the defensive building in the Origin Territory.”

Liu Yan nodded and continued, “I just checked. Currently, our Origin Territory is a level 2 territory. However, the various buildings have almost been upgraded. We are only a few conditions away from upgrading to a level 3 territory. Therefore, there are two main directions that we need to work on. One is to meet the requirements and upgrade the Origin Territory to a level 3 territory. This will help us increase our strength and greatly improve the defensive capabilities of the Origin Territory. Only then can we rely on it to defend against the future attacks of Lakon Territory. The second aspect is to think of a way to quickly increase the strength of the experts in our Origin Territory. In the battle between the two territories, the strength of the experts will undoubtedly determine a lot. It can greatly affect our initiative and passivity in the battle, and it can also directly determine the outcome!”

Liu Yan quickly formulated a rough plan.

The ordinary members of the Origin Territory were to remain within the territory and were not permitted to leave.

After all, they had already increased their strength significantly, and now they needed to adapt to their enhanced capabilities.

Therefore, there was no need for them to leave the Origin Territory, they could stay within the territory to adapt and consolidate their strength.

Although it was clear that Lakon Territory would soon discover the Origin Territory, they could at least delay the discovery, which would be advantageous for the Origin Territory.

Ordinary team members would not gain much by venturing outside the territory. On the contrary, it would bring about dangers, making it safest for them to remain within the territory.

Apart from this, the experts of the Origin Territory needed to venture outside the territory and find ways to rapidly enhance their strength.

The experts were strong but few in number. Even if they left the Origin Territory, as long as they were cautious, they wouldn’t be easily discovered by the people of Lakon Territory, making it relatively easy for them to conceal their whereabouts.

Lastly, it was left to Luo Qingcheng and others to lead the people of the Origin Territory to meet the final conditions for upgrading the territory.

Liu Yan looked towards Luo Qingcheng. “I’ll leave the task of upgrading the Origin Territory’s level to you. If you need any assistance, feel free to mobilize other members, including the expert members.”

Liu Yan had been involved in previous territory upgrades. However, this time, he was simply too busy.

Not only did Liu Yan need to lead the expert members of the Origin Territory on expeditions to enhance their strength, but he also needed to find ways to enhance his strength.

Busy with strengthening himself, Liu Yan had no time to spare for the improvement of the Origin Territory.

Luo Qingcheng nodded in acknowledgment. “Rest assured, leave it to me. You focus on improving your strength. That’s the most important thing right now.”

Chu Long chimed in, “That’s right, Brother Liu Yan, you go do what you need to. Leave the rest to Sister Luo Qingcheng. I’ll do my best to assist.”

Liu Yan nodded slightly. Although Luo Qingcheng’s strength wasn’t particularly high, even among the expert members of Team Origin, Liu Yan still had confidence in her leadership and organizational abilities.

Immediately, Liu Yan turned to Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan. “Leave the matters concerning the territory to them. Let’s discuss which direction to explore outside the Origin Territory to enhance the strength of the expert members and minimize the risk of detection by the people of Lakon Territory.”

Liu Yan didn’t have extensive knowledge about the surrounding area, so he needed to consult Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan. After all, they had been training in the Wind Barrier on the sixth floor of the tower for over two years and had a better understanding of the area.
