Four Split Personalities

Lian hesitated and nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed to admit that she actually didn’t understand.

To be honest, although she successfully enrolled in the [Dan Slave Military Academy] and generally had good grades, Miss Lian’s talents in military affairs were quite limited. Whether it was ’theory’ or ’practice,’ her level could only be described as standard and nondescript, the kind where even if she wanted to stay on to teach after graduation, she might not necessarily qualify with certainty.

As the young lady of the [Death Angel], Lian first decided to study in Academy City before choosing the academy, and finally came to the [Dan Slave Military Academy] entirely because the school’s uniform styles were quite attractive, and the cafeteria’s quality was exceptionally high for these two reasons.

"Simply put, this formation and its corresponding tactical system are rather unconventional, boasting significant advantages and disadvantages. The occasions where it can be perfectly effective are quite rare."

Teresa glanced down at the sand table in front of her, where some areas were filled with thin fog or outright blindfolded in darkness, and thoughtfully explained, "Regardless of the scale of the battle, for most seasoned commanders, instead of magnifying their advantages, it’s more important to find the enemy’s weaknesses. Therefore, a tactics like the Baroka Inverted Ram’s Horn Formation, which has extremely obvious pros and cons and only works as the opening move, is rarely applied."

Finally understanding, Lian furrowed her brow curiously, "Then why do you think Black Vatican Priest would use this tactic?"

"Because he knows this tactic, and if the opponent is Senior Foster, in such a large-scale simulation, the Baroka Inverted Ram’s Horn Formation is indeed theoretically the best opening move."

Teresa squinted her eyes slightly, brushed her hand gently over her shoulder where a braid should be, and suddenly turned to look at the indicator light not far away, "Here they come~"

In the next second, the red light indicating an emergency situation suddenly lit up!

"They’ve burst in!"

Lei Er Si suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Three blue army groups have charged into the red side’s vague control zone at an incomprehensibly fast speed, they’ve been discovered!"

La Ersi’s previously indifferent expression changed, and she stared intently at the screen in front of her, saying in a deep voice, "Of course they’ll be discovered! Black Vatican never intended to hide his army from the start, now the focus is on what Foster will do, that bizarre Bifurcated Clamp Killing Formation is very troubling, if the combat strength of equal scale is committed..."

"Nine scout groups on the blue side have already scattered!"

Lei Er Si gasped again, speaking rapidly, "They’re rapidly expanding their control area! It’s fast, a spiral expansion! Reverse spiral!"

La Ersi took a deep breath, clenched her right fist tightly, glanced at the commentary split screen showing the girl returning to the command room hand in hand, and chuckled dryly, "Spiral expansion isn’t the focus, the key is that Black Vatican even accounted for his counselor’s walking speed, the gap between instruction linkups is less than... eh!"

The girl widened her eyes, staring in shock at the purple-haired girl who appeared in the central area as if teleporting, then watched in disbelief as she lightly moved her steps, vanishing from her view like an illusion.

"How is this possible!"

Lei Er Si almost shouted out at the same time, "No commands have been issued, yet the two cavalry regiments that Foster had just integrated have started maneuvering! Is there a system issue? Should we pause and have the technician check the setup..."

"No, the equipment hasn’t malfunctioned."

La Ersi raised her hand to stop her already panicked sister, shook her head, "Orders have been issued, it’s just that the red side’s counselor acted so swiftly that you didn’t notice."

Lei Er Si’s little mouth formed an ’O’ shape in surprise.

"The cavalry regiments are distractions and bait; Foster has already started laying supply lines in the vague control zone."

Regaining her composure, La Ersi continued explaining quickly without acknowledging her sister, "No defense, the red side hasn’t even dispatched any units to protect the supply lines, the six mixed composition regiments have been split, directly pressing ahead, madness! Aren’t they afraid of completely detaching from the main formation?"

...

"No need to go."

Motan stopped Yu Chen, who had already run out several steps in a hurry, smiled at the tensely-faced girl, then reached out to extinguish the red light that suddenly lit up, "If I guessed correctly, it should be the scouts’ contact message and map update report, after all, we’ve already broken into their territory, certainly they’ll cause trouble."

Yu Chen anxiously watched the emergency information light flash for the second time, turning circles on the spot uneasily, "Then... what do we do! We’ve been hit!"

"Ahem, don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, we somewhat anticipated such a thing earlier."

Motan randomly picked out a black Alchemical Chess Piece from his backpack, playing with it in his hand while muttering, "But judging from the timing of the light, their response seems slower than expected, are they planning to let us go deeper?"

Yu Chen timidly peeked at the sand table, whispering, "Shouldn’t... we go deeper, right? After all, this is Foster’s territory, if we go further in, we might get surrounded."

Motan nodded strongly in agreement with Yu Chen’s opinion, then coughed lightly and added, "That’s true, but even given our three army groups’ configuration and deployments, even if the opponent’s forces hold an absolute advantage, should they brazenly assault, we can still carve out several openings."

Yu Chen curiously lowered her head to look... okay, she backed up two steps initially, then lowered her head to look at the icon positioned in darkness at the forefront of her sand table, hesitating, "Then, do we fight?"

"No, we cannot fight."

Motan shook his head with a smile, "Just like you said, if we go in any further, we may end up surrounded."

Yu Chen seemed at a loss.

"Here’s the situation."

Motan grabbed an instruction card, quickly writing something on it while promptly explaining, "The scouts sent earlier were used more for testing than reconnaissance. Had that light come on earlier, it would’ve been fine, but now... seems Foster’s more capable than I expected."

Yu Chen puffed out her cheeks with displeasure, "You’re being cryptic! You think I can’t understand!"

"No, no, no, I was just about to explain. Simply put, the opponent probably didn’t dispatch troops immediately upon detecting our invasion but did something else!"

Motan hastily offered a convoluted explanation in an astonishingly fast pace, then took a couple of deep breaths before handing the instruction card he’d finished writing to Yu Chen, "There are many possibilities, but the relatively most convincing guess might be sending mobile units behind us to completely entangle the three vanguard groups and wear them down in place."

Just at that moment, the emergency information light in the command room began flashing red for the fourth time.

"Should I go?"

Yu Chen swallowed her question and looked nervously at Motan.

"Yes, once you enter it, make sure you help unlock the new map."

Motan casually placed the black Alchemical Chess Piece on the sand table’s outer edge, nodding, "Let’s test that guy’s reaction speed first."

Without another word, the girl sprinted out quickly.

...

Two minutes later

"The opponent has retreated, their response is fast, changing formations quickly. Is this the Scorpion Tail Retreat Method? So aggressive!"

Returning swiftly with a fragrance to the command room, Lian quickly reported the situation to Teresa.

"Hmm, ignore them, that’s deceptive."

"Eh?"

"Black Vatican is targeting our mobile units~"
