973 The Last Straw of Hope

In the tent, Wei Feng and the others looked at Huang Yuan in confusion, waiting for his explanation.

Huang Yuan faced everyone and said with a serious expression, “During the battle today, Liu Yan came to me.”

“Liu Yan came to you? He doesn’t know you,” Lu Dajiang was puzzled, and so were the others.

After all, Liu Yan and Huang Yuan did not know each other at all. The only thing they had in common was that they were from Blue Planet. In such an intense battle, why would Liu Yan come to Huang Yuan privately?

Wei Feng said with a strange expression, “Huang Yuan, tell me the details of the situation.”

Huang Yuan nodded and told everyone what happened.

After Wei Feng heard this, his expression became even stranger, “According to Huang Yuan’s recount, after Liu Yan stalled Luo Feng, he immediately rushed over to wherever Huang Yuan was with the sole purpose to find him. Then, he quickly covered Team Origin left.”

“Previously, I had been wondering about the strength that Liu Yan had displayed. He was clearly strong enough to cover Team Origin’s safe retreat, so there should have been no need for Team Origin to retreat on its own. After all, Team Lighthouse could’ve gone after them then. Moreover, there’s a huge gap between Team Origin and Team Lighthouse’s strength. Splitting up is naturally extremely disadvantageous to Team Origin. It seems that Liu Yan did it on purpose.”

Ning Shanshan immediately understood what Wei Feng meant and said in surprise, “So you’re saying that Liu Yan did this intentionally, not hesitating to let Team Origin fight separately and suffer heavy losses, just so that he could go to Huang Yuan privately?”

Liu Qingrou also nodded, “That seems to be the case. Liu Yan and Team Origin went through so much trouble just to meet Huang Yuan in private. What is their purpose? What was so important that it was worth it?”

They could not help but look at Huang Yuan once again. After some analysis, they realized that Liu Yan had gone through a lot of trouble to look for the latter. Clearly, there was something extremely important.

Huang Yuan didn’t hesitate and told everyone what Liu Yan had told him.

After all, according to Liu Yan’s instructions, he was supposed to tell Lu Dajiang and the others.

Huang Yuan took out Luo Rui’s memories, which included the matter of the Lakon Territory and Luo Feng brothers colluding to take over the Lighthouse Territory, as well as Liu Yan’s invitation to join forces with the two teams to eliminate Luo Feng and the other Lakonians.

After listening to Huang Yuan’s explanation, everyone’s expression turned grave.

The air fell into a short silence. No one knew what to say.

None of them had expected that behind Luo Feng and the others was the Lakon Territory, and the Lakon Territory was extremely powerful.

The trickiest thing was that Luo Feng and Luo Rui, as people of the Lighthouse Territory, had the intention of conspiring against the Lighthouse Territory. To think they planned to cooperate with the Lakonians to take over the entire Lighthouse territory.

After a moment of silence, Lu Dajiang could not help but sigh, “No wonder Luo Feng and Luo Rui had suddenly improved by leaps and bounds some time back even though their strength was inferior to mine. It should have been at that time that they received help from the Lakon Territory, which allowed them to increase their strength so quickly.”

Wei Feng also said with a solemn expression, “Previously Luo Feng and the other Lakonians told us that the Lakon Territory had been destroyed and they were sincerely willing to join Lighthouse Territory. That was why we accepted them. So it was just a lie when they said that they got separated. Now that they have found the Lakon Territory, they have evil intentions against us.”

Ning Shanshan spoke up, “That means Luo Feng and the others are our enemies instead. Our biggest problem now is how to deal with the powerful Lakon Territory.”

Huang Yuan also smiled bitterly, “According to Luo Rui’s memories that Liu Yan gave me, the Lakon Territory is extremely powerful. It is already a level 7 territory and is ranked in the top 1000 territories of the Wind Barrier. How can we be a match for such an existence?”

Although the Lighthouse Territory was already a Level 5 Territory and very powerful, it was only ranked around 4000 among the territories in the Wind Barrier.

In contrast, the Lakon Territory was already ranked in the top 1000. Its strength was fundamentally different from the Lighthouse Territory.

If they were to fight head-on, the Lighthouse Territory would not be a match for the Lakon Territory. They would not even be able to defend themselves. The difference in strength between the two sides was of several levels.

Huang Yuan was undoubtedly feeling a little bitter in his heart. After all, he had been leading his team on expeditions and completing missions, increasing the strength of his team through experience, but also at the same time, completing many missions and contributing a lot to the Lighthouse Territory.

This was equivalent to him having contributed to the increase in the strength of the Lakonians in the Lighthouse Territory.

Previously, Huang Yuan had helped those Lakonians become much stronger, but now, they would become their enemies.

He couldn’t help but feel extremely regretful. If he had known that his previous efforts would only help the enemy become stronger, he and his squad wouldn’t have fought so hard.

Liu Qingrou consoled them, “Although it’s very difficult to the point it’s almost hopeless and there’s no chance at all, according to Liu Yan, it seems like we still have a chance, right?”

When they heard this, they looked at Huang Yuan.

With the strength of their two squads, they could not even fight the remaining teams of the Lakoniands in the Lighthouse Territory, let alone the powerful Lakon Territory behind those Lakonians.

If their two squads wanted to survive and not be taken in as captives, relying on themselves was far from enough. It seemed that they could only rely on Liu Yan and Team Origin’s help to stand a chance.

Lu Dajiang and the others had complicated feelings. Two days ago, they had been thinking about helping Liu Yan and Team Origin survive.

However, they didn’t expect that after today, they wouldn’t be helping Liu Yan and Team Origin. Instead, they would need the latter’s help. The change of position was really fast.

They might have looked down on Liu Yan and Team Origin before, thinking that no matter how talented they were, they were still weak. However, after the battle during the day, everyone witnessed the strength of Team Origin.

Compared to their past self, Team Origin was undoubtedly much stronger.

This was especially so for Liu Yan. He was like a monster, having already reached a terrifying 18-star combat strength. In fact, he wasn’t even an ordinary Awakened with 18-star combat strength. After all, when facing Luo Feng who had a powerful 19-star combat strength, Liu Yan seemed to have had the upper hand, always gaining the advantage in the battle.

At this moment, Liu Yan had undoubtedly become Lu Dajiang and the others’ last straw of hope. They did not want the Lighthouse Territory to be taken over by the Lakonians. That would be no different from killing them
