Chapter 120: Four Flagpoles
On the seventh day, Chu Ming finally saw Meggie sleeping well. Seven days is a week. But for those in battle, it can be quite a long time. The high-intensity combat has everyone on the verge of collapse. You must know that even the battle of a high-level substitute cultivator is not sustained and high-intensity. Generally speaking, one hour is the limit.
Not everyone is ignorant of this, and the first group of people who appeared as a team was the main member of the academy mentor. They built a fortification by the seashore and strengthened it. The children of the family are also gathering together, gradually forming another group. The academy was the most widely populated, and because they were more familiar with the place, it took a lot of effort for Edwards to gather these people, but he was still doing it. There are also stragglers, such as Wickerson, and rangers like Orpheus. They are sparring partners, so what they care about is finding a master of the same level.
The presence of groups has brought down the casualty figures, and the exhausted can also get a proper rest. Chu Ming was still a little worried, according to the experience of his previous life, it was difficult to make a big deal alone, and group beatings often killed people.
"I can't help you." These were the first words of Meggie when she woke up, and she explained her situation very simply, and then concentrated on combing her thick length.
"It's okay, you can get some rest. I'm going to take a look. β
Skimming over the Academy, it was a rare period of silence. All three groups are watching out for each other, calculating against each other, fighting or just the next moment.
On the morning of the eighth day, a fierce battle broke out between the three parties on the beaches of the Barron Sea. The goal of all three sides was to destroy the opponent's vital forces, and the battle lasted from morning to night. The last was the end after the active retreat of the cadet group.
"How's Edwards?"
Chu Ming came to the headquarters of the cadet group for the first time. Edwards' eyes were red, and his haggard face had a few burnt scratches
"The squad leader is here, and it's over today. Almost all of them were killed once. There were also a few students who were seriously injured. Thankfully, you arrived in time. "Edwards thanked him as commander
'They're all fine, but tomorrow's battle will definitely be absent. What are you going to do tomorrow? I'm just asking, and I don't interfere with your decision, but I want to know how big it will be tomorrow, so that I can estimate the number of wounded. β
"We don't have a high-level substitute, which is a disadvantage, but I've contacted the family group, and we're ready to merge. I guess that's the only way. β
"Good, that's a good idea. But have you ever thought that if this were a real battlefield, would that be all you could do? Okay, I'm leaving. Chu Ming played a sideshow, but he was still inclined to his classmates
After Chu Ming left, Edwards fell into deep thought, and then quietly woke up a few people in the middle of the night.
The next day's battle began the same, with a three-way scuffle after the exchange of ranged weapons. Chu Ming was busy on the battlefield where the artillery was flying, and the wounded were sent out one by one. Only he can do this here, and this ability amazes everyone.
"Cunning fellow, this must have been Ian's brainstorm. It's a pityββ, but it's okay. Chu Ming was walking through the battlefield, and he suddenly showed a trace of abnormality. Apparently these students are learning, but they are not sophisticated enough.
The merger of the cadet group and the family group made the mentor group panic for a moment, but these mentors were all veterans who couldn't get any more oil, and they were already aware of it, so this disadvantage was quickly reversed, so that the trainees and the family group lost the opportunity to expand their advantages. But then there was an attack from within the mentor group, which suffered a big loss for the first time. The two female classmates who pretended to be poor made a great contribution and died proudly after destroying the internal reactor and the main information node.
The first instructor to die was Belinda Gore, a middle-aged woman in a huge tutor's hat who died in a rage because one of her large heads had been scorched, and the curly head was billowing with smoke, like the spring of a geothermal fountain.
"Mentor Belinda Gore, please here, do you need treatment?"
"No, these boys, I want to know who did it!" Belinda Gore was furious
"I don't know about this, but Mentor Belinda Gore, you are dead now, and you will have to wait an hour to be resurrected." Chu Ming was very happy, but he tried to appear very calm, which was very tiring.
"Isn't it funny! I don't need a resurrection, I want to see how they can get by. Don't forget that there are still a lot of substitute tutors who haven't made a move. β
Sure enough, when the wizard Liulian appeared, the students who rushed in front of him shook their heads, and then the wizard Liulian beckoned, so it was like a big scythe swept by, and the students in front of them fell down in unison, unconscious.
"It's cheating!" Ian was roaring loudly
"It's not cheating! There is no cheating on the battlefield. Edwards clenched his teeth, and any plan was empty talk before absolute strength
"That's absolute strength." Chu Ming also sighed, today's bone stick should not be enough.
The mentor group did not continue to attack, but erected four flagpoles on their own position, which is a provocation, the most popular way of provocation in the Frost Blue system - defending four and attacking three. This means that the mentor group is very confident in their own defenses and will not hesitate to show it in the form of provocation, but who can pull out those four flagpoles?
The Mentor's intention is very clear - in order to avoid casualties, we will not take the initiative to attack, but you have nothing to do with me.
The deadline for the last day is getting closer and closer, and looking at the four flagpoles that swayed slightly in the wind, many students have a feeling of hopelessness, countless attempts in exchange for different casualty figures, when a person is confirmed to have been killed countless times - it is really difficult not to be frustrated. Everyone felt that this might be the end, and even if it ended now, the exercise would be considered a success. At least everyone understands that strength is not absolute, and tactics and coordination can also affect the balance of victory. Of course, it won't get worse or worse with the masters.
"Want to try?" Principal Lindeman didn't know where to come out, and looked at Chu Ming who was staying with a smile
"Try what?" Chu Ming was distracted now
"That." Lindeman's headmaster, Nunu, was referring to the four flagpoles.
"Oh, this, it seems, there is actually some way." Chu Ming said hesitantly.
"Of course, there is no absolute defense in the world. You know the way, I know the way, but most people don't know the way. "Principal Lindeman's brain structure is definitely different from that of ordinary people, an old fox who is good at mind reading.
"Yes, but does it make sense?" Chu Ming asked rhetorically
"I don't know what to do, but I remember that when you stabbed Lou Zi, you didn't want to bear the result, and I saw that our school's education was very successful, and many good students were transformed."
After Principal Lindeman finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving Chu Ming stunned in place.
"***, just do it! How did I become a mother-in-law lately? β
Chu Ming did whatever he wanted, and walked directly to the student camp.
"I need your cooperation." Chu Ming made a straightforward request.
"How?" Edwards also asked directly
"Tonight, attack with all your might, regardless of casualties."
"How to attack? Need synergy? β
"No, but you have to use your best strength and strategy."
"Okay."
Edwards stretched out his hand and shook Chu Ming, and the previous estrangement between the two disappeared this time.
