Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction Novel - Chapter 980

980 Defection
“Let’s see how long you can restrict me after I break this damn cage!” Luo Feng roared as he launched attacks against the Prison of Giant Trees.

Luo Feng had always been calm and collected, but his current state of mind had been affected since he was disgusted by Liu Yan’s restraining skill and had no way to vent his anger.

Liu Yan ignored Luo Feng and simply said, “If you’re so capable, then come and fight to the death with me. This time, I won’t retreat!”

After saying this, Liu Yan flew straight toward the outer area of the Hallucinatory Forest.

He didn’t use an invisibility skill to hide his tracks. Rather, he didn’t even fly very fast. He wanted to leave his tracks so that Luo Feng could come after him.

Liu Yan had intentionally chosen the outer area of the Hallucinatory Forest as well.

Within the Hallucinatory Forest, he could take care of Team Origin. But in the outer perimeter, he could block off Team Lighthouse’s path of retreat.

This way, while Liu Yan and Luo Feng were fighting, or after he finished off the latter, he would be able to intercept the escaping members of Team Lighthouse.

After all, although Team Origin had joined forces with Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s squads, not only did they have to besiege the two Lakonian squads, but they also had to annihilate them. They had to leave no one alive and not let anyone escape!

Lui Yan’s choice to fight at the outskirts of the Hallucinatory Forest would undoubtedly strengthen the defensive line, further reducing the chances of the Team Lighthouse members surviving and leaving!

Luo Feng used all his strength to quickly break the restrictions of the Prison of Giant Trees.

But in just a short while, Liu Yan had already left.

Luo Feng’s expression was unfathomable. He could tell that something was wrong. Liu Yan was intentionally trying to lure him over.

Luo Feng lowered his head and looked at Team Lighthouse. Naturally, he suspected that Liu Yan’s true intentions were the members of Team Lighthouse.

However, he believed that in front of absolute power, all schemes and plots were useless.

In any case, he was stronger than Liu Yan, and Team Lighthouse was stronger than Team Origin. Nothing would happen.

At most, after discovering that Liu Yan had escaped, he would hurry back to the Team Lighthouse. There would not be any problems.

With that, Luo Feng immediately chased after Liu Yan. He had long wanted to have a good fight with the other party and get rid of him.

As long as he could get rid of Liu Yan, everything would go smoothly. Team Lighthouse would be able to defeat Team Origin easily, and there wouldn’t be so much trouble. They wouldn’t suffer too many losses either.

Currently, after more than a day of battle, he was clearly stronger than Liu Yan, and Team Lighthouse was also far ahead of Team Origin, but during the few battles, Liu Yan and Team Origin had been extremely slick and had never fought them head-on. In the end, Team Origin gained huge advantages.

Luo Feng naturally didn’t want to continue fighting Liu Yan like this. Having a one-on duel would be the easiest way to settle things now!

Not long after Luo Feng left, Team Origin and the group of Withered Tree Spirits surrounded Team Lighthouse and started to block and defend.

As long as they noticed Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan’s two squads making a move, Team Origin would immediately cooperate.

The premise was that those two squads would make the first move. Team Origin wouldn’t make the first move.

Otherwise, if Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan hadn’t decided to switch sides, Team Origin would suffer heavy casualties.

Team Lighthouse didn’t panic after encountering the attacks of a large number of Withered Tree Spirits and Team Origin. They maintained their defensive formation and fought.

“Liu Yan lured our captain away just to attack us?”

“Haha, what are Liu Yan and Team Origin thinking? How can Team Origin be our opponent?”

“That’s right, we had many casualties yesterday, but it was all because we underestimated our opponent and Liu Yan was stirring things up. If we really fought head-on, how could we lose to Team Origin?”

“A mantis trying to stop a chariot is nothing to be afraid of!”

“…”

The members of Team Lighthouse were extremely confident as they reacted to Team Origin’s attack.

Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang, who were on the flanks, were extremely experienced in battle. They had already decided to switch sides and help Team Origin deal with Luo Feng and the Lakonians.

As such, even though they hadn’t discussed the specific battle plan with Liu Yan in advance since they didn’t have the opportunity, they could guess Liu Yan’s intentions with their rich battle experience. The current situation was the best opportunity Liu Yan and Team Origin created for them to defect.
Not only did the strongest Luo Feng get lured away, but Team Origin and the Withered Tree Spirits had also already surrounded Team Lighthouse. It was just that they weren’t strong enough, so they could only surround Team Lighthouse and not attack.

However, if the two squads defected at this moment, they could form an encirclement and cause terrifying damage to the two squads of Team Lighthouse!

Right now was the best opportunity!

Lu Dajiang immediately walked forward and said, “Fellow Blue Star compatriots, according to reliable sources, Luo Feng still has Lakon Territory’s territory behind him and even wants to take us in. I’ll explain the details later, but please believe me now. This is the best chance to join forces with Team Origin to deal with the Lakonians.”

When the squad members under Lu Dajiang heard his words, they were all stunned.

A moment ago, they were still in a fierce battle with Team Origin, but now they were going to join hands with Team Origin and attack the Lakonians instead?

Although the Lakonians came from a different planet, they were still members of Team Lighthouse. Having been together for more than a year, they were now all teammates with a good relationship.

That being said, many of the squad members trusted Lu Dajiang. After all, they had followed him all the way. Although they did not understand what was going on, all of them obeyed his orders and turned around to attack.

A small number of members were unwilling. After all, in their eyes, the Lakonians in Lighthouse Territory were comrades. Although the opposite squad, Team Origin, came from Blue Planet, they were from different territories. They were in a competitive relationship with each other.

However, with the current situation where the majority were following orders, they didn’t dare to disobey despite their dissatisfaction. All of them took action.

On the other flank, the defection of Huang Yuan’s squad was much smoother.

After all, Huang Yuan’s squad was different from Lu Dajiang’s squad. Huang Yuan had always been leading his squad to carry out various dangerous combat missions outside. They had always been carrying out dangerous expeditions. It could be said that they lived with a risk of death.

The members of the squad had gone through life and death together, and their relationship had long been like brothers. As such, they had absolute trust in Huang Yuan, the captain of the squad. They trusted Huang Yuan more than the captain of the Lighthouse Territory.

Regardless of whether the captain of Lighthouse Territory was the former Lu Dajiang or the current Luo Feng, they had always trusted Huang Yuan. They would do whatever he asked them to do.

At this moment, Huang Yuan didn’t even need to explain much. He directly ordered the squad to attack the Lakonians, and the squad immediately changed their direction in unison.

When the five squad captains of Team Origin saw that Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s two squads had already begun to move, they decisively followed their original plan.

Team Origin joined forces with Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang’s squads to attack the two Lakonian squads.

In terms of numbers, they were three times the opponent’s number.

In terms of combat power, they were also about twice as strong. They could simply crush their opponents!

This was a battle where there was no doubt about who would win. The only uncertainty was the time the battle would end and whether any Lakonian would be able to escape!

At this moment, the Lakonians were panicking. Just a moment ago, they were still confident in facing off against Team Origin.

With an absolute advantage in strength, this battle did not bring much pressure on them. In fact, it was a battle where victory was 90% certainty.

Yet in the next moment, two squads on their side had unknowingly defected and started to attack them instead!

In the past, the Lakonians had four squads and were thus not afraid of rebellion.

Back then, even with the help of Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang, Team Origin’s combat strength was still inferior to theirs.

But currently, Luo Rui’s squad had been wiped out, and in yesterday’s battle, Team Lighthouse had suffered huge losses under Liu Yan’s hands. They had lost nearly a squad’s worth of combat strength.

At this moment, they only had two squads. In terms of combat power, they were about the same as Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan’s squads. Rather, they were even inferior to them.

With the help of the Withered Tree Spirits and Team Origin, the battle was completely one-sided.

“What’s going on? Why did these Blue Planet people betray us?”

“We’re all from the Lighthouse Territory. How can you do this?”

“If you destroy us, the strength of the Lighthouse Territory will plummet. You won’t be able to survive either!”

“Are you guys crazy? Aren’t we teammates?

“…”
