Chapter 1054 Random Opponent, Storm Territory!
Log in to get LK and view more chapters.Within the Origin Territory, on the square, the members of Team Origin also began to realize the significance of this territory battle. While it might not pose great difficulty, it was undeniably crucial.
Winning was the ultimate goal, but how victory was achieved mattered just as much. Whether it involved minimal casualties in a chaotic battle or a seamless, zero-casualty triumph, the difference was substantial.
Furthermore, this territory war offered an excellent opportunity for the seven squads of Team Origin to establish cohesion and cooperation. In the forthcoming territory wars, such ease might not be guaranteed, and there would be no time for the members to adjust.
After Liu Yan delivered a concise speech, he refrained from further elaboration. The original five squads of Team Origin had followed Liu Yan for an extended period, which instilled confidence in him.
As for the two recently added squads, although they were new and might not have perfected their teamwork, they had already spent over two years in the Wind Barrier on the tower's sixth level. They possessed formidable strength and rich experience. As long as they adhered to Liu Yan's commands, there would be no issues.
The members of Team Origin maintained a quiet demeanor, patiently awaiting the disappearance of the territory barrier and the conclusion of the Origin Territory's novice protection period.
This was the first time the first five teams had come to the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower. It was the first time they had experienced such a scene, so they were all curious.
They were curious about what the territory would look like after the territory barrier disappeared. They were curious about what changes it would bring to their lives and experience. At the same time, they were curious about what the territory battles would look like.
As for the last two teams of the Origin team, although they had already experienced such a scene before, they were already extremely familiar with it.
However, they hadn't anticipated they would encounter such a situation again after joining a new territory, which was indeed a rather mystical occurrence.
The seven teams of the Origin team were gathered in the huge square. The total number of people had reached nearly 600 individuals.
There were so many people, but they were maintaining absolute silence at this moment.
In this atmosphere of quiet anticipation, time swiftly passed. Suddenly, a voice that seemed to be ringing in everyone's ears sounded.
[The 2314th New Territory Novice Protection Period has concluded!]
[The territory barrier has disappeared, and all new territories will now commence their genuine training within the Wind Barrier!]
[The random territory battle is set to begin. All new territories are required to partake in a random territory battle before they can formally embark on their training within the Wind Barrier!] action
[The selection of random opponents is entirely arbitrary, but all battles will involve clashes between new territories. Once the random opponents are determined, the specifics of the battle may be discussed. In the absence of consensus, a vote will be conducted, with the Will of the Tower making the final decision!]
[Within the Origin Territory, random opponent selection is in progress...]
[Random selection successful. The opponent is the Storm Territory!]
[Teleportation in progress...]
As the announcements from the Will of Tower echoed, it signified the end of the novice protection period for all the new territories.
All the territory barriers of the new territories would disappear.
Over the past month, many new territories had relied on their territory barriers to stay safe.
Some new territories had even provoked other powerful territories or groups of fierce beasts and had sought refuge within their territory barriers.
However, now that the territory barriers were vanishing, it meant that their days were numbered!
Without the protection of the territory barriers, the situation for all the novice territories would become exceedingly challenging.
Whether they faced other well-established old territories or encountered groups of fierce beasts, mystic monsters, or monster plants, these challenges were daunting for the novice territories.
After all, there was a significant disparity in their strengths, and even with a month of peaceful development, the gap remained substantial.
Territories like the Origin Territory, which could rapidly grow as new territories and even defeat old territories, were incredibly rare.
Based on incomplete statistics, in previous years, within a week of the territory barrier disappearing, more than half of the new territories had been wiped out completely! The remaining few new territories would also face an extremely tough situation and suffer varying degrees of damage.
This was a harsh world where the strong preyed on the weak. If one lacked the strength, there was no time to grow.
Insufficient strength would only lead to one outcome, which is death!
At this moment, individuals like Liu Yan and his companions did not need to worry about such matters. They were not focused on these concerns and had no interest in them.
As the battle territory was randomly determined, the teleportation array was swiftly activated.
A white light enveloped all the members of Team Origin, a phenomenon brought forth by the Will of Tower in the form of a teleportation array.
Before long, the white light intensified, and suddenly, the teleportation array that had descended was fully illuminated.
Liu Yan and the rest of Team Origin felt a momentary dizziness.
In the next moment, Liu Yan and his comrades found themselves in a peculiar space.
This space stretched endlessly in all directions, an expanse of blinding white that seemed to have no bounds.
Adjacent to them was an enormous arena, stretching for dozens of kilometers. Such a colossal arena was sufficient for battles between hundreds or thousands of participants and even for clashes involving tens of thousands.
As the white light gradually subsided, figures emerged on the opposite side, representing the randomly selected opponents of Origin Territory.
As the brilliance of the teleportation array faded, Liu Yan took a moment to register the team that had appeared before him.
To his surprise, they were confronted by a group of half-beast people.
Half-beast people bore a resemblance to humans, particularly in their lower halves, where they possessed two legs. However, in comparison to humans, half-beast people were generally more robust, towering at over two meters in height, and sporting bodies two to three times thicker.
Additionally, half-beast people retained some animal-like characteristics, primarily in their ears, noses, or tails.
Overall, their appearance bore a striking resemblance to humans, but the disparity in size was striking.
Before these half-beast people, regular humans would appear exceedingly diminutive, akin to slender monkeys.
Derek Dole, who had been responsible for gathering information about the other territories, now began to provide some context.
Derek Dole remarked, "No wonder I had a vague sense of familiarity with this Storm Territory earlier, even if I couldn't place it. But now, seeing that they are half-beast people, it instantly clicked for me. Their strength is not to be underestimated. They have already reached Level-2 Territory status. Among the thousands of novice territories, they are undoubtedly ranked among the top hundred at the very least. However, they are also known for their brutality. Rumor has it that the Storm Territory neighbors two novice territories, both of which have suffered nearly complete annihilation at their hands. This includes a human territory from our Blue Planet. One could say that the Storm Territory is the shared adversary of humanity from our Blue Planet!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingcheng's expression darkened. She remarked, "What a ferocious territory! Since they are our adversaries, we cannot afford to show them any leniency this time!"
