Chapter Seventy-Two, Merlin

"The instructor is here." A voice suddenly sounded, and everyone reacted immediately, quickly lining up in several lines. Li De also got out of the siege temporarily.

I saw a middle-aged man in a black military uniform walking up. He has gray hair, a red face, small eyes with gold-rimmed glasses, and a mustache on his thin lips.

He walked to the front of the group and did not speak, but stared at the students fiercely. Being stared at by this person, Li De only felt that his soul seemed to fluctuate slightly.

"Oh! It seems that this guy also studies souls! Goth said excitedly, he had found a companion.

"My name is Merlin, and I'm the instructor of your Class A." The middle-aged man spoke. "In the coming days, I will be in charge of training you. As for whether you can become a qualified officer, I have the final say. So you'd better not mess with me.

I can tell you that Class A is the best class in the whole school, and I am the best instructor in the whole military academy, and I am also the strictest instructor. I will give you the most memorable experience, and you will thank me for the torture I have inflicted on you in the future.

Now that I've read your profile, I'll elect your squad leader and deputy squad to be your interim leader. But you can challenge them at any time, and as for the rules of the challenge, you will know later.

Class Leader: Jason Statham, Deputy Class Leader: Mary Keane. ”

The eyes of the class were focused on the two men. Li De had been in contact with Mary before, and that Jason Statham was undoubtedly the best talent of the younger generation of the Statham family, the head of the ten families.

Li De saw this person, brown skin, black hair. Thick eyebrows, big eyes, nose, straight mouth, tall figure. He exudes the aura and domineering spirit of a professional soldier.

Merlin continued: "Well, you may have been involved in a lot of operations before, but here, you are a group of rookies. You need to learn anew. Learn a variety of tactics, a variety of combat methods. Coordination of various classes.

You will learn to see a war not just through the eyes of a soldier, but the entire battlefield through the eyes of a commander-in-chief. We are facing a battle for the survival of the race, and our only purpose here is to destroy the enemy. ”

Merlin reprimanded them for a full hour before handing over the time to the squad leader. The first task given to them by Merlin was to run 20 kilometers, then eat as fast as they could, and then simulate a tactical exercise.

Merlin was looking at more than just the materials, and he hoped that he would be able to learn more about these students in one day today.

And for Li De, it was an absolute hell. He had not slept all night last night, and now he was in a terrible state, and he had no appetite for breakfast, and he had just stood for another morning, followed by a rapid march of 20 kilometers.

The non-commissioned officers of the whole class began to run under the leadership of the squad leader, and Li De felt exhausted from the beginning. He used the Force to travel all over his body, trying to restore his muscles, but he was now exhausted by his brain.

Class A, under the leadership of the squad leader Jason, quickly ran 10 kilometers, and Li De was already hanging at the rear. In desperation, Mary, who was the deputy classmate, came to Li De's side to check on his situation.

"What's wrong with you today? You shouldn't be so bad in your abilities, right? Mary asked Li De, she knew Li De's strength, and she also felt strange about Li De's state at this time.

"It's nothing, Miss, you don't have to worry about me." Li De replied weakly. He now has to save even the strength to speak.

"Strange guy, you can't have slept last night, have you?" Mary guessed it at once. "But that's not right, even if you don't sleep all night, there shouldn't be anything wrong with your physique."

Yes, with Skywalker's system, there is no big problem with not sleeping all night. But Li De also went through two fights last night, especially the one against George Lucas Jr., which consumed his soul power greatly. He didn't want to say anything more to Mary, so he puffed up his breath and sped up.

Seeing that Li De ignored her, Mary pursed her lips and glared at him, and ran to the back of the line. This expression was seen by a few classmates who turned around, and they only felt a small wave in their hearts.

Even if a beautiful woman is around, Li De doesn't take a second look. And I've been spending less time with Karin lately, and the witch seems to be deliberately avoiding him.

Finally, the 20-kilometer rapid march ended. Class A returned to the sidelines of the exercise field from the beginning. Merlin gave them fifteen minutes to adjust and eat. Then he led them into the exercise area.

Class A had a total of 80 students, all of whom were divided into two groups by Merlin, led by Jason and Mary. An ordnance truck arrives, and Merlin asks everyone to distribute their equipment, and then it's time for the afternoon class.

It's definitely not a good thing to be on the exercise ground on the first day. Many students have never understood each other, and after being forced to be divided into a group, it all depends on the captain's eyesight how much effect they can play.

Lide was placed in Mary's group, mainly because his bad trail running just now made him disliked by the class leader Jason Statham, or maybe for other reasons. Anyway, now they all wear red armbands, and Jason's group wears blue armbands. Red for attacking, blue for defense.

Mary came up and looked at her team members very simply, first divided them into four squads, and then selected three people. The three of them, along with themselves, served as the captains of the four squads. Then we started to discuss the strategy of the offensive.

The target they needed to attack was a three-story building, and Jason and his 40 cadets were already around it. Originally, in this kind of offensive and defensive battle, the defensive side was more dominant, but Mary and the others did not have extra manpower, and Merlin only gave Mary some equipment to make up for this gap.

Mary's plan was for three groups to advance from three directions, forming a three-sided encirclement. Adhering to the principle of encircling three and putting one, the other group acted as a maneuver and took turns to form a firepower advantage in three directions.

While Mary was talking to her team about her tactical intentions, Lide became lethargic again. He only felt that his two eyelids seemed to be extremely heavy.

"You're not in the right state!" Goth said with concern. "You can't be so sleepy even if you don't sleep for a few nights. It should be that there is something wrong with your body. ”

Li De had also thought before that there might be something wrong with his body. But before that he was in good shape, able to eat, sleep, fight, and there was no abnormal situation.

"Could it be genetic modification?" Goth guessed. "After calculating the time, more than half a month has passed now. At the rate at which cells divide and renew, some of the cells in your body have been modified and evolved. But it shouldn't be lethargic. ”

"It's useless to guess anything. Let's get through today's drill for now. Li De gritted his teeth and slapped his face with his hand to keep himself awake.

Mary's tactics were finished. Li De saw that the soldiers who had been divided into groups were about to start an operation, but he grabbed Mary. whispered a few words to her.

"So? It turns out that it can still be like this! Mary cried out suddenly. She immediately called the other three captains together, had a short meeting, and arranged some more things.

Jason stayed at the highest point of the three-story building at this time, looking at the students who were arranging defenses around him. He arranged a two-tier fire circle on the periphery of the small building, and then the second floor of the small building was used as supporting fire, and the third floor was the headquarters and the commanding heights of sniping.

In Jason's opinion, although Mary has some equipment to assist, the real battle still depends on the firepower configuration and on-the-spot command. On both counts, Jason is confident. He is the best young man in the Statham family, and he is also a rare genius in a hundred years. He has received good military training in the family, and he thinks that he will not be worse than the Keane family.

The small building is surrounded by a forest. The trees are not very lush, but it is more than enough for a dozen people to hide inside. Now Jason senses that there are obvious signs of activity in the three directions of southeast, north and south.

Perhaps it was the carelessness of Mary's team, Jason saw dozens of figures gathered in the east, and then began to move slowly towards his side. Although the figure was hidden in the shade of the tree as much as possible, it still showed the horse's feet.

"It seems that Mary, a genius in interstellar warfare, doesn't seem to be very good at land warfare." Jason said to one of the men next to him, who was tall and thin with black skin. The cheeks are thin, but the chin and eyes are large. This man was a member of the Mustafa family of the Ten Families, named Aitor Mustafa, who was attached to the General Staff.

"Surrounded on three sides, surrounded by three and put one. It is a typical textbook tactic, it should be an average of troops on three sides, and with an extra team, we can look for our weak points. The black man quickly judged the tactics of the other side.

"In this way, two people are left in the west to do some early warning and defense. The rest of the people returned to the building to assist in the defense. I'd like to see how she goes around in circles with me. ”

Soon after, the battle began. Sure enough, as Jason expected, gunshots rang out on three sides, and the east side was particularly intense. All at once, the battle went to a fever pitch.

The RED team's attack firepower was very fierce, and the team members did not hesitate to suppress the opponent with fierce fire. And they themselves are well hidden, and the snipers in the commanding heights have no way to start.

After a burst of heavy attacks, the RED team also began to reduce the speed of their fire. But it still suppressed the blue team. The blue team's defense on the periphery is now in a hurry, and the players on the second floor are also attacking the woods.

"Attention, their fire to the east is concentrated."

"Kate, watch your left. Oh! Who is TM who is firing at Lao Tzu again. ”

"The gang hid in the woods and shot and beat Lao Tzu hard. TM's"

After a stalemate with each other, Jason was also keeping an eye on his opponent's movements. He found that the focus of Mary's offensive had shifted three times, to the south, to the east, and to the north. Now there are again a large number of firing points in the east.
