Dilemma

On the other hand, after a few days, the territories that were not viable had nearly all been destroyed.

The remaining territories were either strong enough to ensure their survival or had other means of avoiding quick destruction.

However, this time, the situation was very unusual.

There were only about 3,000 novice territories in total.

In these five days, more than 2,000 territories had vanished, which was highly abnormal. Almost all the new territories had perished, which was very strange.

Although Liu Yan couldn't figure out what was happening, he was still the Lord of the Origin Territory.

Having the Lord's token of the Origin Territory, Liu Yan could occasionally check the Lord interface on the token. Naturally, he could always see the Origin Territory's ranking and the number of territories within the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower.

Liu Yan secretly noted this and planned to check it every day.

If the pace of territory destruction slowed down later, it would align with the speculations of Lu Dajiang, Huang Yuan, and others. It would simply mean that this batch of new territories had weak overall strength, leading to their quick demise.

However, if the destruction continued rapidly, with the total number of territories lost surpassing 3,000, it would indicate that the disappearing territories weren't primarily new ones but rather some old territories facing rapid destruction.

If that were the case, it would suggest that something strange was happening within the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower. Many territories were swiftly being obliterated by a mysterious force!

Nevertheless, Liu Yan kept these thoughts to himself, planning to inform everyone after confirming the situation. Liu Yan looked at everyone again. "Ning Shanshan is right. The most crucial thing for us now is to take care of ourselves and enhance the strength of the Origin Territory as quickly as possible. Only then will we have sufficient power to safeguard ourselves and confront the various crises ahead. Next, let's discuss how to rapidly enhance our overall strength."

The moment Liu Yan spoke, everyone also found it very reasonable.

Regardless, the top priority was to boost the overall strength of the Origin Territory as soon as possible.

Xu Han couldn't help but sigh. "The speed of our Origin Territory's improvement has been quite exaggerated. Which other territory can achieve this pace? In just a few days, the strength of the entire territory has multiplied, and the ranking has shot up by over 4,000 places. It's truly remarkable." Ye Yifan nodded and said, "Indeed. If such a record were to spread, other territories probably wouldn't believe that we could enhance our strength so rapidly. However, even so, it's still not enough for us."

Hans Wilson added, "We can't help it. Who asked us to provoke the powerful Lakon Territory, especially in yesterday's territory battle? We've completely offended them. I reckon those Lakonians are currently racking their brains to find and kill us!"

For a moment, the core members of the Origin Territory also wore serious expressions.

Indeed, that was the situation. In the past few days, the Origin Territory had already increased its strength so much that the entire territory's power had multiplied.

Yet, even so, it was still insufficient.

There was nothing they could do about it. What stood in the way of the Origin Territory was the colossal Lakon Territory.

The strength of the Origin Territory had only reached the 4000s after the upgrade. However, the Lakon Territory's ranking was in the top 1000. The Lakon Territory was a truly formidable territory on the sixth level of the tower.

"There's still a difference of more than 3,000 rankings between us and the Lakon Territory. There's still a huge gap," He Yang remarked.

"Our Origin Territory's strength has improved a lot during this period," Jin Cheng said. "However, there is still a huge gap between our Origin Territory and Lakon Territory. There is still a huge gap."

"It's not that we're weak. It's just that the strength of the Lakon Territory is too terrifying." Sun Wen sighed.

"The most troublesome thing is that we could quickly increase our strength through the territory battles in the past. We could take this shortcut, but we can't continue to take this shortcut in the future. We can only think of other ways," Derek Dole explained.

"However, for safety reasons, we can't leave Lakon Territory," Luo Wei said. "But if we don't leave Lakon Territory, how can we quickly increase our strength?"

"If we continue to stay in the territory, no matter how hard we work, the speed at which we can increase our strength will be limited," Shi Hao added. Lu Dajiang, Huang Yuan, and the others exchanged glances, all wearing expressions of helplessness.

Huang Yuan said faintly, "To be honest, there are still more than 3,000 places left. It's extremely huge. It's even more difficult than the 4,000 places we rose before. After all, the higher we go, the harder it is to increase our ranking."

"Yes, I agree," Wei Feng nodded. "The rankings are also closer to the top. There is a huge gap between each ranking. Previously, when our rankings were relatively low, our strength was relatively similar. Just increasing our strength a little could boost our rankings significantly, but we can't do so when our rankings are higher."

For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma.

What lay ahead of the Origin Territory was a dilemma.

If they continued to stay in the territory, there would be no shortcut to quickly increase their strength through territory battles. The members of the Origin team would not be able to swiftly bolster their strength.

However, if they left the Origin Territory and ventured out to seek opportunities, it would increase the risk of exposure.

In the previous territory battle, the Origin Territory had already incurred the wrath of Lakom Territory.

Under Liu Yan's leadership, Lakon Territory had lost several top experts.

Such substantial losses would undoubtedly prompt Lakon Territory to search for the Origin Territory by any means necessary.

At this critical juncture, leaving the Origin Territory would undoubtedly be extremely perilous and would greatly heighten the risk of exposure.

Even though the Origin Territory's strength had increased significantly during this period, if discovered by Lakon Territory, it would still be completely defenseless and likely face direct destruction.

For a moment, the Origin Territory was in a quandary. It seemed that no matter what choice they made, it wouldn't be a prudent decision.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Qingcheng carefully analyzed, "We can't rely on the method of rapidly increasing our strength through territory battles. Even if we had the territory battle orders now, we couldn't augment our strength by such a margin." She continued, "However, all our team members have significantly boosted their strength during this period. We do need some time to adapt to this increased strength. Logically speaking, it's still a better choice for ordinary team members to remain in the territory, at least for the time being. However, this isn't the case for our experts."

As Luo Qingcheng spoke, she glanced at Liu Yan. Her implication was unmistakable and couldn't be clearer.
