For the fourth blink, he stood with a pale face before countless people, forcing himself to inspire morale.
For the fifth blink, he kneeled on one knee beside the Forget Language Saintess, lightly kissing her pale hand.
The brain trembles...
For the sixth blink, he stood with his hands behind his back, watching the snow flying outside the window, a cold anger flickering in his eyes.
For the seventh blink, he gave himself a slight smile, transforming into a mirror with a flick.
Reflected in the mirror was not Foster Ward, but the girl named Theresa Tarosa.
He knew very well that all of this was an illusion, existing only in his imagination and mental fabrication. But he also understood that it was not an ethereal illusion, but something more essential.
The eyes of Theresa Tarosa always pierced through the layers of war mist, capturing something more fundamental. The simplest being, within less than an hour, she discerned Hei Fan Priest’s nature just from reading the ordinary battle report, almost stunning Foster and Lian.
And as the confrontation with Motan gradually entered a white-hot phase, her gaze increasingly approached the ’essence’.
However, perhaps the opponent was a person easy to understand, she first saw through the essence of her opponent in a trance before seeing through the essence of the battle.
A mirror.
An unpretentious mirror.
Without a hint of doubt, Theresa’s non-human talents instantly revealed the truth—a restricted yet accurate truth.
A mirror, able to reflect all the shining points of one’s side on the battlefield, and also able to reveal the enemy’s flaws and gaps.
In certain situations, for someone like oneself who barely reached their ’limit,’ this mirror would reflect Theresa Tarosa herself.
An unfeigned self.
Deep within, not genuinely desiring to be a teacher, living according to that previous script.
In the mirror, the girl reflected on it wearing regular attire, standing amid endless smoke and flames, an enchanting curve faintly drawn at the corner of her mouth.
Win!
The girl awakening from her trance took a deep breath and then showed a smile identical to the one in her imagined mirror.
For some reason, although previously daydreaming, the intricately complex sand table before her became more transparent.
Want to win! Even though she agreed with senior Foster before, even though this match, being well-prepared yet unprepared, is not fair, she still wanted to win!
Of course, not wanting him to lose either...
Theresa Tarosa blinked in confusion and the next moment elegantly raised her hand.
Moments later, before Yu Chen, the somewhat pale-faced red faction Counselor Lian·Yuan Rui, sequentially input twenty-seven instruction cards into the [Battle Six type] mainframe.
The same rhythm, the same principle, the same style!
On that basis, every action of the red faction’s forces... tripled in precision!
Not simply increasing speed or efficiency, but the actions of the red faction became increasingly smooth, akin to the image originally at 20 frames per second suddenly stabilizing at 60 frames.
At first glance, it seems there’s no difference, but paired with Richard’s precisely mechanical combat style, this level of ’optimization’ becomes extremely formidable.
...
On the other side, Motan’s mental activities weren’t as complex as Theresa’s.
Compared to the long half Chapter of delicate girl’s heart, this side appeared much simpler.
Equally desiring to win, yet to prevent himself from feeling uninspired, he intentionally had Yu Chen cheer him up.
Then, the girl thoughtfully provided him with a perfect reason—
"Win for me! Hei Fan!"
That’s what she said.
"As you wish, Lady~"
That’s how he answered.
For Motan, the difficulty of this match surpassed even the days of scheming with the Whisper Sect in Sumer, yet bearing a perfect reason for victory with no burden on his shoulders, his condition was unprecedentedly excellent.
[Today’s Goddess of Victory stands by my side.]
Murmuring a rather embarrassing chuunibyo remark in his heart, Motan pressed the Alchemical Chess Piece that had witnessed countless victories onto the center of the sand table!
Half a minute later, one of the red faction’s supply lines suffered a fatal blow, centered on two elite mixed units of over two thousand basic units successfully piercing through and jumping out of the red faction’s intelligence circle with their core, delivering a massive suicidal attack. When the scout group extinguished them, the supply line connection to the left flank of the main battlefield had completely turned into a tangle.
...
In less than five minutes, red factions continued to maintain pressure on the frontline while simultaneously optimizing the supply line re-weaving with extreme efficiency. They launched three perfect rounds of the [Progressive Tornado] tactic, crushing the blue faction force which was equal to 1.5 times their strength head-on. Theresa maximized her solid fundamentals and achieved an impeccable victory with lesser numbers.
Yet when Yu Chen stood again on the central projection stage, three small strongholds near the red faction supply line, surrounded by armies, were forcefully seized in plain sight. Over twenty engineering units, continuously hiding in the enemy’s blind spots, made a large-scale detour under an entire scout group’s cover, divided into pieces inserted into the blind spots in the red information network. As the audience naturally forgot them, they suddenly emerged, relying on high-density fire suppression to support the heavy cavalry regiment and accomplished an inconceivable assault, directly occupying it.
Three nails thus were forcefully driven into the weakest soft spots of the red faction’s current defenses. Even when defending positions, ordinary mixed troops and battle fortresses solely composed of engineering units are entirely different.
Lei Er Si barely praised the blue faction’s ghostly unforeseen raid for two sentences before the red faction’s entire half-group army swiftly swept from the central area of the battlefield. After paying less than a tenth of the price, they rolled into the three switched strongholds and reclaimed them, then told everyone, with hindsight, that it was a textbook example of the [Wolf Pack Tactic].
The difference is that textbook [Wolf Pack Tactic] wasn’t played like this!
Because this multi-path parallel tactic, not only needs constant decomposition but must maintain continuous coordination and connection, is not suitable for such enormous entities like an army group!
Splitting a whole into at least two-digit units isn’t hard, ensuring all of them retain threat levels is still simple, but the elite nature of [Wolf Pack Tactic] lies in the ’key of variations.’ Simply put, every split-off unit must possess an independent rhythm, and this rhythm must continually vary, only then can it retain maximum living force under enemy remote fire suppression.
An average mid-tier commander, as long as not excessively weak, can usually complete a ten-group, fifty-member [Wolf Pack Tactic]—splitting a fifty-member force into ten portions in a short time and having them hunt according to a prepared rhythm.
While military school top graduates like Bati, Lei Er Si, and La Ersi, with adequate preparation, could deploy a more than tenfold [Wolf Pack Tactic], with elevated adaptability included.
But to play wolf pack with half an army group... using La Ersi’s words, it’s an unimaginable thing for her because under such ridiculous numbers, the simplest broad order completion would probably crumble the rhythm from the outset!
The best possibility is the [Wolf Pack Tactic] becoming the [Wolf Delivery Tactic], sending the enemy abundant live targets; the worst possibility is the complete collapse of the command rhythm, losing unengaged!
"Damn it."
Watching that half-army group partitioned into at least thirty ’large’ units artistically move across the sand table, La Ersi suddenly closed her eyes, alabaster face leaning against the back of the chair—
"I’ll take a breath slowly, you guys go ahead and watch the match..."
