Chapter 1082 Another Expert?   action

An elf man entered the arena with a Bow and Arrow in his hand.

Lu Dajiang and the others were immediately surprised when they saw the man on the opposite side.

Liu Yan noticed the strange expressions on their faces and asked, "What's wrong? Do you also know this elf?"

Lu Dajiang nodded and explained, "Yes, we know him. His name is Bernie Galt, and he excels in archery. More importantly, he used to be the strongest player in the Elf Territory, with 18-star combat strength. However, this was a while ago, and he might have made further progress since then. Strangely, the opponent sent their strongest player to the stage so early."

Huang Yuan expressed his confusion. "This isn't the typical order for the contestants. How can the strongest contestant be sent in so early?"

Ning Shanshan added, "Something doesn't feel right."

Liu Qingrou speculated, "The Elf Clan's captain is very intelligent, he wouldn't make such a basic mistake."

Ye Yifan suggested, "Could it be that the other side is changing their tactics and intends to have their strongest player dominate us?"

Luo Wei disagreed. "That's unlikely. They all know each other, and their relationship seems good. Their primary goal must be to secure a victory in the final territory battle. The outcomes of one or two small matches shouldn't be that crucial for them."

Lu Dajiang concurred and said, "That makes sense. It's not normal for the strongest player to participate so early."

Liu Yan couldn't help but propose, "In that case, there's only one explanation, Bernie Galt used to be their strongest player, but now he isn't. They might have even stronger players, which is why they didn't need to rely on Bernie Galt anymore."

Upon hearing Liu Yan's explanation, everyone's expressions immediately changed. After careful consideration, they realized this was the most plausible explanation.

However, the idea was challenging to accept because nurturing stronger experts and absorbing more powerful individuals were not easy tasks. Nonetheless, it seemed that this was the only explanation.

Lu Dajiang sighed in resignation. "I just can't understand. Let's see how it goes." Wei Feng added, "It appears that this territory battle will be more challenging than we anticipated. The Elf Territory's strength seems to surpass our initial expectations."

Huang Yuan remained relatively composed and advised, "Let's focus on our situation moving forward. We need to strategize about how to select our next player. After all, Wei Feng is outmatched by Bernie Galt."

Ning Shanshan expressed her frustration, "The other side is playing dirty. We originally hoped for Wei Feng to defeat another opponent or at least weaken them. Now they're sending Bernie Galt in. Not only will Wei Feng lose, but he won't even be able to tire Bernie Galt out."

Liu Qingrou sighed. "There's nothing we can do. The other party is too strong."

Liu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "We have two choices. Either I go on stage directly in the next round, or you can take turns to see if any of you can take down Bernie Galt alone, and then I'll stay until the end."

Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan exchanged glances and considered their options.

Huang Yuan finally stated, "Captain, it's safer for you to go last. It gives us a better chance. Although this will allow the other side to win several small battles in a row, it doesn't matter. After all, the other side is a friendly territory. Providing them rewards won't hurt us. Our primary goal remains winning as many small battles as possible, ideally clinching the final territory battle."

"I agree," Lu Dajiang added.

Observing their consensus, Liu Yan confirmed, "Alright, that's the plan. Huang Yuan, you'll go next, followed by Liu Qingrou and Ning Shanshan."

Liu Yan had his reasons for this arrangement.

Among the team members, Huang Yuan was the strongest. Even though Huang Yuan was likely to lose, he could exhaust Bernie Galt as much as possible.

Even if Liu Qingrou went up next, she could also deplete some of Bernie Galt's strength.

Finally, Ning Shanshan possessed the strongest explosive power, and with Bernie Galt's energy reduced by Huang Yuan and Liu Qingrou, she had a good chance of defeating him.

At the same time, the battle in the arena had just commenced, but it had already concluded.

Wei Feng held his short sword, ready to charge at Bernie Galt.

After all, Wei Feng's weapon was a short sword. Though he had long-range attacks, their power was relatively ordinary. His true combat strength could be fully unleashed only in close combat. However, given the substantial difference in their strengths, Bernie Galt did not allow Wei Feng to get anywhere near him.

Just a few special arrows had already injured Wei Feng.

If Bernie Galt hadn't shown some restraint, one of the arrows might have missed, only hitting Wei Feng's shoulder.

Wei Feng had probably been struck in the throat and died on the spot.

Wei Feng, recognizing the situation, showed tact and chose not to prolong the battle. He promptly admitted defeat.

As a result, Wei Feng was teleported out of the arena by the Will of Tower.

Simultaneously, the Will of Tower made an announcement.

[The fifth small battle is won by the Team Elf!]

[The opponent's territory, please select the next player within one minute to continue the battle.]

[Team Elf has emerged victorious in the fifth small battle. The reward is currently being randomly selected...]

[Randomization successful. Congratulations on obtaining a personal reward, allowing you to allocate 10,000 attribute points!]

[The sixth small-scale duel is about to commence. Please prepare accordingly.]

After being teleported back to the ground, Wei Feng couldn't help but express his frustration. "The other side is ruthless, sending Bernie Galt directly. How could I stand a chance? This is just bad luck!"

Wei Feng initially thought that this was his opportunity to shine. After defeating Edi Carmen, he reaped a generous personal reward and substantially boosted his strength. What's more, even after the skirmish with Edi Carmen, Wei Feng was still in great shape.

He believed that he could continue to compete for several more rounds and possibly secure more victories. In doing so, the team reward would remain favorable, enhancing Team Origin's overall prowess.

And if luck was on his side, much like in the previous match, Wei Feng could garner another personal reward, further increasing his capabilities. An S-grade skill acquired at random significantly enhanced Wei Feng's combat strength.

If his luck persisted, Wei Feng might even surpass Lu Dajiang!

Regrettably, the opposing Team Elf had dispatched a powerhouse like Bernie Galt. Wei Feng was no match for him and was easily defeated. Wei Feng's earlier aspirations crumbled, leaving him disheartened as he returned to the arena's base.

Upon witnessing this, Huang Yuan and the rest could only offer wry smiles.
