Chapter 947 Stalling Strategy
The five squads of Team Lighthouse continued to advance.
Not long after, there was a sudden scream in front of them. Then, the light of various spells came from the front, and many members of the Team Lighthouse at the front suffered.
"Ambush!"
"Team Origin set up an ambush here!"
"It's an array trap set up in advance. These people from Team Origin are cunning."
"It's fine. It's just some low-level array trap. They can only injure a portion of our team members."
...
Team Lighthouse was a veteran team that had been training in the Wind Barrier for a long time. Their experience was extremely rich.
The moment they were ambushed, the team members quickly calmed down. The team members did not need any orders to deal with the situation in front of them in an orderly manner.
The injured members were quickly brought to the back by the other members for treatment.
The team members who were healing them were responsible for quickly healing them.
Most combat team members immediately got into a defensive formation and deployed a tight defense.
At the same time, many members were responsible for scouting and understanding the current situation.
Very soon, they had already figured out the situation under the investigation of many members of Team Lighthouse.
Team Origin set up some array traps, but the skills and materials they possessed were limited. Hence, these array traps set up in advance only injured not many team members in front of Team Lighthouse. They were not fatal at all.
At the same time, there were no members of the Team Origin here. It was just some trap.
"This is what the new team is like. They set up some trap here, but no one is ambushing here."
"That's right. These traps aren't fatal. If other team members were lying in ambush at the same time, it would cause us some trouble. Now that there are no more traps, it's much easier."
"It's normal for a new team to have no experience."
"Hurry up and clear the trap. Let's continue moving forward and end the battle as soon as possible. We can still return and rest if we finish off Team Origin soon as possible."
"I thought it would be a big battle, but now it seems like it will be easy."
"I don't understand how Team Origin managed to deal with Vice-captain Luo Rui and his entire squad with their strength!"
...
The members of Team Lighthouse were full of disdain for Team Origin. Then, they cleared the trap and continued to move forward.
In the distance, Liu Yan relied on Purple Wind Falcon to understand the situation of the Team Lighthouse.
The distance was too far. Liu Yan's S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, could not sense it.
The perception range of the SS-grade Extraordinary Five Senses was extremely far. However, because Extraordinary Five Senses had not been fully activated, Liu Yan could only sense the general direction of Team Lighthouse at this distance. He could not make a clear judgment.
Fortunately, Liu Yan still had Purple Wind Falcon, which could help with the investigation.
Initially, Liu Yan was worried the Wind Purple Wind Falcon's movements would be discovered by the members of Team Lighthouse.
After all, there were countless experts in the Team Lighthouse, especially the 18-star combat strength Luo Feng.
But now, it seemed that there was no problem.
The Wind Purple Wind Falcon flew high in the sky. It was small and was hidden in the clouds.
The experts of Team Lighthouse on the ground couldn't discover the Purple Wind Falcon unless they paid close attention.
After all, they were mainly scouting the surroundings. Very few people paid attention to the sky.
Liu Yan relied on Purple Wind Falcon to know Team Lighthouse's movements and that they had reached the trap set by Team Origin.
Liu Yan understood that the battle between Team Origin and Team Lighthouse had officially begun.
As for this trap, Liu Yan naturally understood that it would be more effective if the members of Team Origin cooperated with the ambush.
But unfortunately, Team Origin didn't have enough manpower.
The number of members on Team Origin was about the same as the number of members on Team Lighthouse.
Team Lighthouse was moving together, while Team Origin needed to split up into multiple stages to defend, so they lacked manpower.
To deal with Team Lighthouse's attack, Team Origin split into multiple lines of defense and defended in a ladder formation.
The purpose of doing this was to increase their strategic depth.
They could use space to exchange for time. Only then would Team Origin have a chance.
The first line of defense was the large number of traps set up by the members of Team Origin!
Liu Yan and the other members of Team Origin knew that a trap of this level would not be able to cause fatal damage to Team Lighthouse.
However, this was not Liu Yan and Team Origin's goal.
The purpose of these traps was only to cause as much damage as possible to the members of the Team Lighthouse. More importantly, it was to delay their advance.
In this battle, the purpose of Team Origin was to defend and stall for time.
Thus, the longer they delayed, the more chances Team Origin had to win this difficult battle!
At this time, Team Lighthouse had already removed the trap set by Team Origin and continued to move forward.
After advancing a few hundred meters, they encountered the same trap again.
Just like before, it was still some low-level array trap. They only caused a small number of injuries to the members of Team Lighthouse. They were not fatal, and the impact was insignificant. It would not take long for them to recover.
At the same time, there were no members of Team Origin around.
After confirming the surrounding situation, the members of Team Lighthouse followed the previous method again. They were on guard while removing the trap.
However, the two rounds of trap delayed Team Lighthouse's time.
Luo Feng had rich combat experience, so he quickly noticed the intention of Liu Yan and Team Origin set up this trap. They were trying to stall for time.
It was to stall for time. There was no other purpose.
Luo Feng frowned. "The injuries inflicted on our team members will recover very quickly. We won't lose anything. If we stall for some time, will Team Origin have a chance to defeat us? What a joke."
Luo Feng couldn't understand why Liu Yan wanted Team Origin to set up such an arrangement to delay Team Lighthouse.
Although Luo Rui was puzzled, he did not want Liu Yan to achieve his intentions.
Luo Feng quickly changed his plan.
"Continue to advance. If we encounter another trap, quickly clear it and continue to advance. There's no need to waste time by setting up a defensive formation." Luo Feng ordered.
Luo Feng wasn't afraid of being ambushed by Team Origin. After all, Team Lighthouse was far stronger than Team Origin.
Even if Team Lighthouse didn't put up a defensive formation behind them and encountered Team Origin's ambush, what could they do?
The strength of Team Origin was not enough to cause effective damage to Team Lighthouse.
Luo Feng was certain of this.
Team Lighthouse continued to move forward.
As expected, they encountered the same array trap as before.
There were still some relatively low-level array traps. There were still only traps and no ambushes.
And under Luo Feng's orders, Team Lighthouse changed their plan. When they encountered a trap, they wouldn't be in a defensive formation anymore, thus saving a lot of time.
The few waves of traps they encountered later did not waste much time for the Team Lighthouse.
Seeing this, Lakonians started to laugh.
"I don't understand what Liu Yan and Team Origin are thinking. Is there any point in trying to delay us?"
"That's right. They made it seem like they could defeat us by stalling for time. Team Origin isn't our match, so what if they stall for time?"
"In the face of absolute strength, these strategies are useless."
"Now, they can't even stall for time. What can they do?"
"These few waves of array trap are of a lower level to us, but they're a huge loss to Team Origin."
"Yeah, with so many materials, Team Origin is going to spend a lot of money this time!"
...
