1066 Rules of Duel

When everyone heard Liu Yan’s words, they were all somewhat curious.

Lu Dajiang asked, “Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?”

Wei Feng inquired, “You mean…”

Huang Yuan seemed to have guessed something.

Liu Yan nodded and said, “It’s not the best of both worlds. There are certain risks. The specific method is for all members of our Team Origin not to leave the Origin Territory and then engage in a territory battle! Anyway, the rewards for winning the territory battle are extremely generous. With these rewards, our team members can develop very quickly!”

Ning Shanshan was surprised. “You mean, through the continuous battles in the territory, we can quickly develop the strength of all the members?”

Liu Qingrou analyzed. “Although there are teams like this in the Wind Barrier, there are very few of them. The main reason is that there are too many dangers. Territory battles are completely random. No one knows how strong the opponent’s territory is. If you are lucky, it is naturally a good thing to be randomly selected to be a weaker territory. If you are unlucky, you will be randomly selected to be a stronger territory. That will be the end.”

Lu Dajiang also nodded. “That’s right. Unless we know the other party’s coordinates, we can only fight randomly. No one knows the strength of the random opponent. The first territory battle was randomly selected among all the new territories. There was no such restriction in the later territories. They would be randomly selected to the old territories, and the old territories were not weak.”

Luo Qingcheng followed up. “If we randomly choose an opponent, there are tens of thousands of territories in the Wind Barrier on the sixth floor of the tower. However, there are only about 1,000 new territories. If we randomly choose an opponent, there is a high probability of randomly choosing an old territory.”

Xu Han also shared his thoughts, “Yes, although our territory is very strong, our Origin Territory is the leader among the new territories. Even compared to some old territories, our strength might not be lost to them. However, this is only a small portion. Many old territories are stronger than us.”

Ye Yifan immediately denied the idea. “This is too dangerous. If we don’t do it well, it will bring danger to our team members and reduce our numbers. This way, the overall strength of Team Origin can’t increase. If we don’t do it well, it might even decrease. This is too risky.”

Sun Wen looked at Liu Yan expectantly. “Captain, you don’t want to completely rely on luck, right? Is there any other way?”

Chu Cunrui expressed his concerns. “But if we don’t know the other party’s territory coordinates, we can only choose randomly. There’s no good way. We don’t even know the coordinates of the other new territories.”

Liu Yan reassured them. “In this territory battle, without knowing the coordinates, it can only be random. I can’t change this. However, there is one thing we can be sure of, and that is to launch a one-to-one battle! This way, although it is possible for us to be randomly assigned to a territory that is stronger than us, it will reduce our danger and losses in several aspects.”

Derek Dole’s eyes lit up. “Indeed, I was also thinking about this just now, but I wasn’t sure yet. I didn’t expect the captain to have already thought of this.”

The rest of the people who were not clear about the rules of the territory were confused.

“What do you mean?”

“Why is it so much better to fight one-on-one?”

“What’s the difference between a one-on-one battle and a team battle?”

Everyone asked.

Huang Yuan, who was an old man, was very clear about the rules of the territory. He explained, “A one-to-one battle is very different from a team battle. Very few territories would choose a team battle in the Wind Barrier on the sixth floor of the tower. The reason was very simple. The risk was high, but the benefits were just so-so. The risks and the benefits were not proportional! Although the rewards for winning a team battle were not bad and were more than the rewards for winning a one-to-one battle, at the same time, they had to bear a huge risk. It was very easy to cause casualties to the team members or even wipe out the entire team! Even if the winner won and received a good reward, there would still be some casualties. It was also because of this that very few teams would choose to fight in a team. It was not worth it.”

“Yes.” Luo Qingcheng nodded. “It was only when we faced the half-beast people’s territory that we had an absolute advantage in strength that we could choose to fight as a team! Otherwise, even if we were stronger than the other party, if we were not strong enough, there would be many casualties in the end. It would not be worth it.”

“Not bad.” Huang Yuan nodded. “Therefore, most teams will choose siege battle or fight one-on-one. When they have an absolute advantage in strength, they will choose siege battles. Although there is a risk of casualties, the gains after winning are the greatest. Most of them chose to fight one-on-one. Although the rewards for winning were less than the rewards for winning the other two battles, they were still equally generous. The most important thing was that there would not be many casualties in the process of a one-on-one battle.”

Wei Feng nodded and added, “The rules of the duels are very simple. Each territory will send out ten members. Usually, they will choose the ten people with the strongest combat strength to participate. Then, they will go through an arena system. The loser will die and the winner will continue until the last person standing on the stage wins the duels! There were a few key points. The first was that when fighting in the arena, one could choose to admit defeat and get off the stage. This way, one could avoid casualties. It was not like a group battle where one had to fight to the death. One had to win or die. From this point of view, if we choose to fight one-on-one, even if the opponent is stronger, we can still admit defeat. At least there won’t be any casualties! The second key point was that in the process of a one-on-one battle, every time they won a small game, they could obtain a certain reward. The side that wins in the end will receive an additional generous reward. This way, even if we can’t defeat the other party’s territory and obtain the final victory, as long as we can win a few small rounds, we won’t lose anything. We can even obtain a certain reward.”

When the members of Team Origin heard this, they immediately had a detailed understanding of the rules of the one-to-one battle. Only then did they understand why Liu Yan had chosen to fight one-to-one.

“No wonder we chose to fight one-on-one. This is extremely suitable for us.”

“Yes, although our Team Origin is a new territory, we have Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan, two old squads, joining us. Therefore, our overall combat strength may not be as good as most of the old squads, but in terms of top combat strength, we are still not bad.”

“That’s right, the most important thing is our captain’s strength alone. He’s so strong that even in those old territories, our captain is an expert.”
