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

Deep within the Hallucinatory Forest, after the three squads of Team Origin retreated, they were in the midst of an emergency rest.

The Second Squad and Third Squad could still take some time to catch their breath and recuperate.

However, the First Squad, who still had to participate in the upcoming battle, was in a more urgent situation.

On the other side, the Fourth Squad and Fifth Squad were already prepared and waiting at the defense line for the arrival of Team Lighthouse.

At this moment, Liu Yan was also taking a brief rest.

However, in the recent battle, Liu Yan didn't sustain any injuries. After all, he didn't even fight Luo Feng directly. He relied on his restricting skill and Illusionary Clone to delay Luo Feng, while targeting the regular members of Team Lighthouse.

Liu Yan not only remained unharmed but also didn't exhaust much energy, enabling him to continue fighting.

In comparison, the situation for Team Origin was much worse.

In the first round, there were three squads engaged in the battle. Even though they held various advantages, they were prepared to retreat promptly if they found themselves overwhelmed.

However, the huge difference in strength still caused the three squads of Team Origin to suffer heavy losses.

In the first round of battle, it was evident that Team Origin had emerged victorious and inflicted considerable damage on Team Lighthouse.

However, in reality, Team Origin had also sustained significant damage.

One-third of the team members in each of the three squads were seriously injured, effectively rendering an entire squad incapacitated.

This was despite Liu Yan constantly stepping in to help alleviate the pressure. It was difficult to imagine the dire situation that would unfold if Team Origin were to face Team Lighthouse alone.

At this moment, Team Origin had won this round of battle, but they had caused quite a bit of damage to Team Lighthouse, causing them to directly lose a squad's combat strength.

However, even though Team Origin had won, their current situation wasn't good. They were in a miserable state.

Liu Yan surveyed the scene and observed that a considerable number of Team Origin's members were injured. They were undergoing urgent treatment to prepare for the upcoming major battle.

Liu Yan furrowed his brow, realizing that if they continued fighting in this manner, even if the later battles could proceed according to plan and be completed smoothly like before, they would still be able to fight.

But even so, Team Origin wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

The primary reason for this was the overwhelming disparity in strength between Team Origin and Team Lighthouse. Even if Team Origin's members were to delay the members of Team Lighthouse, it would be an arduous task for them.

Liu Yan immediately comprehended that the upcoming battles not only had to proceed smoothly but, more importantly, he needed to find an opportunity to meet Lu Dajiang alone and inform him about the situation in the Lakon Territory behind Luo Feng. This way, he could persuade Lu Dajiang to withdraw from the fight and even provide assistance to Team Origin in dealing with Luo Feng and his allies.

Only in this way could Team Origin bring an end to the battle with Team Lighthouse as quickly as possible.

If they continued to fight with Team Lighthouse, even if Team Origin managed to hold on, they would suffer great losses. It would be extremely disadvantageous to Team Origin's future development!

If he wanted to inform Lu Dajiang, he had to make the battle chaotic.

If they continued fighting as they did in the first round of the third stage, there would be no opportunity to inform Lu Dajiang. Liu Yan wouldn't have had a chance to meet Lu Dajiang alone.

With this in mind, Liu Yan sought out Xu Han, who was recovering his stamina and energy.

Xu Han had made significant contributions during the recent battle.

Although he wasn't one of the top experts in Team Origin, his ability to cast wide-ranging spells had a profound impact on group battles, making him exceptionally valuable.

At the same time, Xu Han had sustained considerable damage.

Fortunately, Xu Han possessed the SS-grade treasure, the Azure Frost Pearl, bestowed upon him by Liu Yan. It helped him rapidly replenish his frost attribute elemental powers.

Xu Han could quickly recover the expended energy, and he was currently regaining his stamina.

Upon seeing Liu Yan, Xu Han stood up, his face filled with excitement, and he exclaimed, "Liu Yan, I never expected you to be so powerful. In the first round of the battle, you inflicted such heavy casualties on Team Lighthouse. If it weren't for you, our team wouldn't have been able to withstand several critical moments."

Xu Han had been following Liu Yan for a long time, and he was quite familiar with him. In private, he would directly address him by his name, but in the presence of others, he would respectfully call him "Captain".

Liu Yan nodded slightly upon hearing Xu Han's words and said, "Although we emerged victorious, we did suffer significant losses on our side."

Xu Han glanced around at the battered Team Origin members and smiled helplessly, saying, "There's nothing we can do when our strength falls short. It's normal to face such hardships. However, we are fortunate that in the first round of the battle, many members were severely injured but managed to retreat in time, so there weren't any deaths."

Liu Yan shared the same sentiment, realizing that despite the extensive injuries, the absence of any casualties was undeniably a fortunate outcome.

After a brief moment of silence, Liu Yan spoke up, "You're right. If we continue like this, we won't be able to sustain ourselves. We need to change our battle strategy and seize an opportunity for me to meet Lu Dajiang as soon as possible. Only then can we completely alter the course of the battle. Of course, it comes with a certain degree of risk."

Liu Yan openly shared his thoughts with Xu Han, instructing him to act accordingly.

Liu Yan understood that if they persisted in the current battle approach, although they could gradually wear down Team Lighthouse's forces, it would also deplete Team Origin's combat strength.

The gap in strength between Team Origin and Team Lighthouse was simply too vast. They couldn't afford to continue exhausting themselves and needed to change their tactics promptly.

By creating chaos in the battle, Liu Yan would have a chance to meet Lu Dajiang alone.

Of course, as a result, this would be an increased danger, and the members of Team Origin would take on more risks, leading to more injuries and even deaths.

However, Liu Yan believed it was a worthwhile endeavor. After all, continuing as they were would only result in more injuries and casualties.

Rather than taking the risk later on, it was better to take it earlier and change the course of the battle as soon as possible. This was the most rational approach to minimize losses.

Xu Han listened to Liu Yan's plan and couldn't help but adopt a serious expression. He understood the importance of Liu Yan's strategy and the risks involved. He was aware that deploying such a battle plan would entail significant risks for Team Origin.

However, Xu Han understood the importance of this matter and trusted Liu Yan's judgment.

Xu Han nodded and said, "Captain, I understand. Don't worry."

Xu Han, who was usually cheerful and lighthearted, became serious when faced with such a critical situation.

Liu Yan nodded slightly and added, "Take a good rest. The second round of battles will commence soon."

Meanwhile, the situation within Team Lighthouse was also quite bad.

In the battle just now, although Team Origin's considerable inferiority in strength, they had managed to create some trouble for Team Lighthouse but couldn't inflict substantial damage.

However, Liu Yan's formidable combat prowess significantly impacted Team Lighthouse, resulting in substantial losses.

Team Lighthouse had already suffered over twenty casualties, with several dozen members sustaining severe injuries.
