Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction Novel - Chapter 1057

1057 Cooperating with the Act
Upon hearing Liu Yan’s words, the team leaders of Team Origin displayed peculiar expressions.

Was Team Origin’s strength truly sufficient to overwhelm the opposing half-beast people?

Choosing one-on-one combat out of fear of casualties? It seemed entirely unnecessary!

Moreover, given that the half-beast people on the other side were natural enemies of the Blue Planet humans, it was essential to avoid opting for one-on-one combat. This way, Team Origin could inflict severe damage on the half-beast people.

However, the team leaders quickly grasped Liu Yan’s intentions. After all, Liu Yan had previously instructed them to act by his cues and cooperate.

They soon understood Liu Yan’s plan. By feigning weakness, they could make the opposing half-beast people underestimate them and, as a result, willingly select another type of territory battle.

Meanwhile, the representatives of the half-beast people on the other side reacted with surprise upon hearing Liu Yan’s statement. They promptly burst into laughter.

“Haha, why are these humans so timid? They’re already scared even before the fight has begun!”

“Humans have always been like this. Remember the human territory we dealt with before? They hid behind their territory barrier and refused to come out after just one fight!”

“Looks like we’re in luck. Our first territory battle turned out to be a human territory. This is as easy as it gets!”

“They want to choose one-on-one combat, and if they can’t win, they’ll surrender, right? Dream on!”

“Exactly, let’s go for a direct siege, and we’ll crush them!”

“We don’t need cowards like them. There’s no need for them to continue existing!”

The half-beast people’s representatives mocked Team Origin.

Grom Blackhand, the leader of the half-beast people tribe, responded icily, “Choosing one-on-one combat is out of the question. Don’t even think about it!”

Xu Han and the others began their act.

Xu Han chuckled, saying, “There’s no need for such a life-and-death struggle, right? One-on-one combat is a better choice!”

Ye Yifan added, “That’s right, we’ll keep bumping into each other in the future. There’s no need for this!”

Hans Wilson chimed in, “Why engage in bloodshed? A one-on-one duel is sufficient.”

He Yang said, “You’re so strong. Can’t you make some concessions for us?”

Jin Cheng remarked, “There are no other options. We can only go for one-on-one combat if we want to survive!”

Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan remained silent, simply observing.

Liu Yan had already discussed the territory battle plan with them. If it wasn’t necessary, these two squads wouldn’t take action.

After all, Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s two squads hailed from the original Lighthouse Territory. They were far from newcomers, being composed of seasoned veterans whose strength far surpassed that of rookies.

Allowing these two squads to participate in the territory battle would undoubtedly make it easy for Team Origin to secure victory. However, it would also place no pressure on the other five squads. This outcome was far from what Liu Yan wished to see. Instead, he aimed to utilize this relatively low-stress territory battle as an opportunity to challenge and strengthen the other five squads of Team Origin.

After all, forthcoming territory battles were bound to be brutally demanding, with immense pressure and the constant threat of fatalities. This rare chance to hone oneself was one that Liu Yan did not want to miss.

On the opposite side, the half-beast people were even more delighted by the reactions of Xu Han and the others, who appeared afraid.

“Haha, these humans are so puny. It feels like we could deal with them in a single charge.”

“Yeah, I think I could handle three to five of them at once without any problem!”

“Why don’t we just opt for a direct siege and wipe them out?”

“Hmm, I bet their cities aren’t anything special. We can easily break through!”

“Haha, this is way too easy!”

The half-beast people wore smug expressions.

However, their leader, Grom Blackhand, furrowed his brow slightly at this moment. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss.

As the leader, Grom Blackhand naturally harbored deeper thoughts. Currently, he sensed that there was something off about the human tribe across from him.

Firstly, their numbers were notably higher than those in typical territories.
Secondly, their demeanor raised red flags. It was normal for humans to fear the half-beast people in Grom Blackhand’s view. After all, according to his understanding, half-beast people generally outmatched humans in strength, and half-beast people of equal rank were more than capable of overpowering humans.

However, the fact that every single human on the other side appeared to fear the half-beast people was indeed peculiar.

Normally, even in a human territory where most residents harbored a fear of the half-beast people, there would still be a handful of resolute individuals who did not cower in the face of the orcs.

At this moment, the fact that every single human on the other side displayed fear toward the half-beast people struck Grom Blackhand as highly unusual.

Grom Blackhand spoke with a serious expression, “After all, this is a territory battle. Even if the opponent is a human territory with average strength, we can’t underestimate them. It’s better not to choose siege combat.”

However, the half-beast people standing beside Grom Blackhand didn’t share his concerns.

“What’s the big deal? They’re just humans. What problems could there be?”

“Leader, don’t worry. Dealing with the humans on the other side would be a piece of cake.”

“That’s right. There’s no need for the captain to get involved.”

“Captain, rest assured. We’ll take them down easily!”

The half-beasts people continued with their relaxed and confident demeanor.

Liu Yan chimed in, following Grom Blackhand’s sentiment, “I agree with your suggestion. Siege battles are too risky. It’s better to fight them one-on-one.”

Grom Blackhand furrowed his brow slightly. Despite the surrounding half-beast people still trying to convince him to choose a siege battle, he snapped, “What are you all so complacent about? Shut up!”

The several half-beast people who had been smiling and relaxed quickly fell silent in the face of Grom Blackhand’s sternness. It was evident they held a deep fear of their leader.

Grom Blackhand continued his analysis, “Siege battles require us to breach the enemy’s city. If the enemy is lucky and has reached level-2 like us, then it will be extremely difficult for us to mount a successful siege. If we don’t execute it well, we might fail.”

Upon hearing Grom Blackhand’s analysis, Liu Yan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

Indeed, the Origin Territory was not merely a level-2 territory. It was a level-3 territory. It had already surpassed the Storm Territory in strength.

If the opposing side dared to launch a city siege, even without the involvement of Origin Team members, they would find it impossible to breach the defenses of the Origin Territory. The level-3 Origin Territory, coupled with its platinum potential, boasted an unparalleled defense that the half-beast people’s strength alone couldn’t overcome.

At the same time, Liu Yan couldn’t help but notice that the half-beast people’s leader, Grom Blackhand, stood out in his way.

Though Liu Yan didn’t consider Grom Blackhand to be particularly brilliant, compared to the rather unintelligent half-beast people, Grom Blackhand was undoubtedly quite astute.

Could this be the wisdom of a wizard? Liu Yan secretly made a mental note. When the territory battle commenced, he would need to eliminate this wizard, Grom Blackhand, as a priority!
