For a moment, the few people present did not understand Liu Yan’s decision.

On the other hand, Murong Xue felt it was safer to keep a low profile and not stir up trouble.

However, Murong Xue really liked battles.

When Murong Xue heard Liu Yan’s suggestion to launch an attack, she was tempted and said excitedly, “Ambush them makes things more interesting even though it’s not safe.”

The rest of them also looked at Liu Yan with puzzlement. They did not understand Liu Yan’s intention.

However, Liu Yan’s previous decision was ingenious.

Although they did not understand Liu Yan’s intention, they did not oppose him at the first moment. Instead, they were more curious about the reason why Liu Yan made such a choice.

Even Luo Qingcheng was also a little puzzled at this moment. She asked, “Liu Yan, can you tell us why?”

Even though she was a genius student of the Command School of Lighthouse Academy, Luo Qingcheng could not think of the reason Liu Yan made such a choice let alone the others.

Liu Yan faced the puzzled few people and smiled. He explained, “The current situation seems to be beneficial to us. We don’t have to do anything. We can just sit back and reap the benefits. It is just a superficial phenomenon.”

When they heard this, they were even more puzzled.

Liu Yan continued, “You’ve also found out that the two representative teams of Alliance Number 1 left many ordinary members in their territories. Jin Cheng, the captain of the New Continent team, is currently defending their territories. There were also two guardian beasts. It seems like it would be more difficult for us to attack. If we fail, the opponent’s reinforcements will attack us. It would be extremely disadvantageous to us. However, it’s not the case. We have to use this opportunity to launch an attack.”

Hearing this, the few of them looked at each other. They did not understand Liu Yan’s logic.

Their opponent was on guard against them, so why did they have to launch an attack?

Liu Yan could see the confusion on their faces, but he was not surprised.

In the beginning, Liu Yan had similar thoughts as theirs.

However, based on the information he had received, Liu Yan felt he could not just sit and wait.

Liu Yan continued to explain, “Alliance Number 1 has mobilized the powerhouses from their respective teams to form an elite team. The elite team is attacking the Red Star Empire team, and they are strong. It is only a matter of time before they finish the Red Star Empire team. On the contrary, there isn’t much strength left in their territories. Hence, they aren’t too anxious when attacking the Red Star Empire team. Instead, they are holding back when launching their attack. In this way, even if Alliance Number 1 spent a lot of time eliminating the Red Star Empire team, they didn’t lose much strength. When we engaged in battle with them, we won’t be much stronger than them. We won’t be able to take them down. When the time comes, we will be in trouble fighting them.”

When the others heard Liu Yan’s explanation, they thought about it carefully. It seemed that this was indeed the case.

According to the information they had received, the battle on the Red Star Empire’s territory was intense. Alliance Number One’s elite team had been suppressing the Red Star Empire. In addition, they had absolute strength to crush the Red Star Empire. Hence, they did not lose much combat strength.

If this continued, when Alliance Number One successfully took down the Red Star Empire team, they would at most lose some of their stamina. They would not lose much combat strength.

Even if their overall combat strength were not as good as the Land of Origin team, it would only be slightly weaker. Their defense would not be a problem.

On the contrary, after Alliance Number 1 defeated the Red Star Empire team, they would be able to obtain an additional piece of territory and many loots. After they rested for a while to strengthen their defense, their strength would surpass the strength of the Red Star Empire team.

At that time, the Land of Origin team would still be able to advance. However, it was unlikely that they could obtain the top two rewards.

Luo Qingcheng and the others were all genius students from their academies. They were even geniuses amongst geniuses. All of them were proud and arrogant. Naturally, they were unwilling to advance and not be able to obtain the rewards.

After all, those rewards were helpful to their future strength in the sixth level of the Tower, or even higher.

Everyone’s goal was not as simple as passing through the fifth level of the Tower to reach the sixth level. Instead, they wanted to head to a higher place or even to the tenth level of the Tower!

“This is the logic behind it. However, they did indeed leave behind some defensive strength. It will be risky if we launch the attack. Once their reinforcements arrive, we will be in serious trouble.” Chu Long could not help but be a little worried as she said.

“That’s right.” Zheng Tainan added, “If we launch an attack, their elite team might make peace with the Red Star Empire team and turn around to get rid of us. At that time, we won’t even be able to advance.”

Liu Qing nodded and said, “That’s right. Right now, the Red Star Empire team is on the brink of being eliminated. If we make peace. They’ll definitely be willing to work together with Alliance Number 1 to fight us. Then, their Red Star Empire team will be able to advance.”

Liu Ning also analyzed, “We have the option to advance steadily but cannot win the first two places and receive rewards. Another option is we defeat the opponents and win. But if we fail, we will be eliminated. Isn’t that a little risky?”

Xu Han did not seem to mind and said, “I think we can follow Captain Liu’s idea and take a risk. If we can only advance without any reward, that would be too pathetic.”

“Why are we scared of them? If I were you, I would fight!” Murong Xue also agreed.

The few of them looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

Some of them were more in favor of trying this method. Although it was risky, it was worth the risk.

But the others were worried something worse might happen and hoped to be safe.

At this time, Luo Qingcheng’s eyes lit up. She glanced at Liu Yan with a strange look. She said, “Liu Yan, you think this operation is not very risky? There should be a greater chance of success, right? Otherwise, you would not have announced this operation directly.”

When the surrounding people heard this, they could not help but look at Liu Yan.

Did they have a chance to ambush the opponent successfully?

After all, the opponent was the remaining two teams, and their strength was not weak. It was not so easy to attack quickly.

And once the attack was relatively slow, the other party’s support would arrive, and it would be even more impossible to attack.

When the other party’s elite team in the earth attribute territory arrived to support them, they would be finished.

Facing the curious faces of the crowd, Liu Yan smiled faintly and said, “I suggested this operation, so I naturally have some confidence. It’s not 100%, but at least 80%.”

When they heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.

“Quick, tell us your plan.” Xu Han immediately asked with a face full of interest.

The rest of them were also extremely curious.
