309 Make a Prompt Decision

The group was hesitant and did not know what to do.

On one hand, if they chose to be neutral, they would basically be waiting for their doom. It was very difficult for them to have any good opportunities. It would all depend on luck.

On the other hand, if they chose to declare war, it had high risks but yielded high rewards. If they succeeded, the rewards would naturally be great.

However, there was also a high possibility of failure. If they failed, all their previous efforts would be wasted and they would be eliminated. There would be no more chances in the future.

At this moment, quite a number of students from Gifted Academy looked toward Allen Smith and Xu Han.

Both of them were influential figures in Gifted Academy, and they were also top-notch geniuses.

Although Liu Yan was the captain, these two top-notch geniuses were from Gifted Academy, after all, so it gave them a sense of closeness. At this moment, they were more interested in hearing the opinions of these two.

"Allen Smith, what do you think?"

"Xu Han, what do you think too? We're all from Gifted Academy, so you two have to give us some ideas."

"Yeah, at this critical moment of life and death, you two have to stand up and express your opinions."

"If you two agree with Liu Yan's choice, then we won't think too much about it. We'll definitely cooperate!"

"..."

Some of the students from Gifted Academy voiced their questions one after another.

The rest of the students from Lighthouse Academy also looked toward Allen Smith and Xu Han.

Although the two weren't from Lighthouse Academy, they were still top-notch geniuses from the Land of Origin.

The students from Lighthouse Academy also wanted to hear Allen Smith and Xu Han's views.

Allen Smith and Xu Han looked at each other when they heard that.

Xu Han smiled and said, "I think your analyses are quite reasonable. Both choices have their pros and cons. I'll remain neutral and continue to listen to your discussions and opinions."

When everyone heard that, they could not help but feel a little disappointed.

Xu Han's meaning was very clear. He was not in favor of declaring war, nor was he against declaring war. Instead, he wanted to see what everyone thought.

In the end, he was just saying a bunch of nonsense. It would not be of much help to the current situation.

Everyone then looked at Allen Smith.

However, Allen Smith simply said coldly, "I'm also neutral."

These simple words were enough to explain Allen Smith's opinion.

When everyone heard this, they felt helpless. For a moment, they still did not know what to do.

The team members could only continue to discuss.

"If the declaration of war is successful, the benefits will be great, but the risks are too great. If we fail, we won't have a chance at all."

"That's right. Although the chances of succeeding if we remain neutral are slim, we can at least continue to wait and see if there's a chance."

"I still feel that it's better to be safe. We can't be eliminated here."

"I think we can take the risk. After all, the current situation is worrying."

"..."

Everyone discussed it among themselves, but they still couldn't come up with a result. They didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Liu Yan couldn't be bothered to wait for the result of everyone's discussion. After all, this was an opportunity that couldn't be missed.

The four teams had just formed an alliance. Tonight would be their most relaxed moment, so tonight was the best opportunity.

Liu Yan naturally did not want to miss such a good opportunity, and there was not much time left for them to slowly consider.

He simply said frankly, "No matter what you choose, I will lead a small team tonight to break through the wood attribute territory where the Pan-ocean Community is located!"

After saying this, he went to the side and lit a bonfire, starting to prepare food and rest for the operation at night.

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar. They did not expect Liu Yan to be so determined. Not only was he determined to declare war, but he even wanted to take action tonight.

"Isn't this too risky?"

"Although Pan-ocean Community is weaker in comparison, they formed an alliance with the Red Star Empire. The Red Star Empire's team is extremely powerful."

"Why is he taking action so quickly? Aren't we going to discuss a plan properly?"

"It seems he's going to start a lightning war. I think it's feasible."

"Isn't Captain Liu Yan's choice a little too risky?"

"..."

Everyone was discussing in astonishment.

Meanwhile, Allen Smith and Xu Han, who were in the corner, exchanged glances. Both of them had satisfaction in their eyes.

In fact, when Liu Yan first proposed to declare war, they had already agreed with him.

It was just that they doubted whether he had any concrete plans.

From the looks of it now, other than his strength, Liu Yan's commanding ability wasn't weak at all. It seemed that he had a perfect plan.

The reason why they had remained neutral earlier was that they didn't want to lead the situation.

After all, the two of them were the top geniuses of Gifted Academy. In the end, the students of Gifted Academy would still idolize and trust them more. They would also feel a sense of closeness towards them.

If the two had expressed their stance just now, regardless of whether they were against or in agreement with Liu Yan, the outcome was fixed. The students of Gifted Academy would immediately choose the same option.

In this way, it was equivalent to the two of them being able to influence the decision of their captain, Liu Yan.

At the same time, it also meant that the students of Gifted Academy had lost their ability to think.

Such an outcome was naturally not what Allen Smith and Xu Han wanted to see.

Before coming to level 5 of the tower, Principal Murakami had specially instructed them that since the captain was Liu Yan, they naturally had to follow the captain's orders.

As long as it did not involve the issue of principles, all actions should follow Liu Yan's instructions.

Allen Smith and Xu Han were extremely respectful toward Mr. Murakami, so they naturally remembered his instructions by heart.

They did not know Liu Yan well, nor did they understand why Murakami was so supportive of him becoming the captain.

However, Allen Smith and Xu Han believed that Murakami definitely had his reasons for doing so.

They believed in Murakami and would just act according to his wishes.

On the other side, Liu Yan had just sat down by the bonfire when Luo Qingcheng, Murong Xue, and Chu Long came over.

Murong Xue couldn't wait to say, "We're going to act tonight, right? You have to bring me! Just watch me break through Pan-ocean Community. Everyone says that they are strong, but I don't think so."

Murong Xue had been holding back for a long time and was eager to have an intense battle.

She naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

As for the discussion of whether to declare war between the team members just now, Murong Xue didn't think much about it with her one-track-minded personality

She did not hesitate to choose to stand on the side of Liu Yan, whom she was more familiar with. Moreover, there was even a battle to fight, so Murong Xue was very happy.

Chu Long also said, "Big brother Liu Yan, if there is anything that you need my help with, I can go with you. Now that my healing and support abilities are already very strong, I can bring a lot of help to you."

When Liu Yan heard this, he nodded and said, "Let me think about the matter of the squad list tonight. It will be announced later. Don't be anxious."

"I don't care, I must be there," Murong Xue insisted.

Seeing this, Luo Qingcheng shook her head with a helpless smile. She said, "The other teams consist of the elites of their respective continents. They are not weak. We must not let our guard down."
