Chapter 108: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (13)

In the two years after Tang Chaoyan betrayed, the reputation of the First Army fell to the bottom, and even their enrollment was affected.

If Tang Chaoyan was not a celebrity, and many people were paying attention to him even when he went to college, they might suspect that he suffered unfair treatment in school and his personality was distorted;

If it were not for the students who were trained by the First Army behind Tang Chaoyan fighting for their lives, and heroes like Mo Hongxue to restore the reputation of the school, they might suspect that there was something wrong with the education of the First Army.

At that time, everyone knew that the First Army was innocent, and even Xie Xu was a victim, but people's emotions were so unreasonable that they couldn't be free of prejudice.

The reputation of the First Army was earned by students one after another without fear of death.

In the statistics of casualties in those two years, the most casualties were from the students of the First Army, especially those who were in the same class as Tang Chaoyan.

Xie Xu took out his light brain and sent a message viciously: [Ming Huan, don't hold back, beat them until they cry, especially those from the highest army! 】

Soon, he received a well-behaved reply from his own student: [Okay, teacher. 】

Greetings are the business of teachers and principals. Students from major military academies entered the virtual space built by StarNet specifically for this exercise.

This time, all students from the six major military academies participated. The number of students in each military academy was different. It was not fair to examine it in detail, but no one questioned it.

After all, the first army and the highest army had the smallest number of students, which was half less than their schools.

These two schools only have 500 places for each enrollment. Excluding those who were expelled, did not dare to join the army after the practical training, and could not participate due to various accidents, the total number of students in the four grades was less than 20,000.

But no one would think that this was a battle with a huge disparity in strength, or in other words, no one would think that the two major military academies would be the weaker side.

This is a military exercise, a matter of winning glory for the school, and doing your best is fair.

The space selected this time was born from an ancient battlefield.

Shen Minghuan stood on the cliff, the wind was whistling, and behind him were soldiers in armor standing by solemnly.

Even the freshman who came in for the first time, after a brief look around, retracted his curiosity, and was infected by the momentum of the people around him, and unconsciously stood up to the battle.

Star Network released rules:

[Ancient battlefield (mountain) - expanding territory]

[Sacrifice your life for the country, and treat death as returning home. ]

[In troubled times, wars are raging, and you are the last hope. Behind you is your home, and you have no way to retreat. ]

[Those whose cities are destroyed and whose flags are cut off will be eliminated. ]

The live broadcast on Star Network is divided into six screens, corresponding to six military academies. The positions they enter are completely random, but the "cities" and "flags" behind them are almost the same.

——That is a small haystack with a flag painted with the school emblem on it.

The subtitles are dim, and the picture of Star Network moves with it, clearly recording the shock and speechlessness on everyone's face.

Netizens laughed.

[Why don't men take Wu Gou and take over the fifty states of Guanshan? 】

【Now the country is in turmoil, the homeland is drifting away, brave and fearless warriors, go and recover your lost land, and let this mountain return to peace. 】

【For a period of one month, the one who occupies the most cities of the other party will win. 】

【If the ownership of the city has not changed by the time limit, the one with the most survivors will win. 】

"The planner is a bit of a first." Shang Chi complained.

The rules are very simple, it is nothing more than two scoring points, siege and defense, but on the basis of siege, you must first take your own strategic base, otherwise even if you have more territory in the later stage, you will be eliminated if your city falls.

The supplementary rules require the first army to take the initiative to attack. If they reach the end peacefully, they will automatically become the last one as the party with the least number of people.

"Generally speaking, the first three days are the time to familiarize yourself with the venue and deploy defenses, and there will be no fighting." Chu He is one of the most popular nominees for the commander-in-chief this time. He is a senior this year and his subjects are among the best.

If Shen Minghuan hadn't come out of nowhere, he would most likely have been the commander-in-chief this time.

Chu He had participated in several such military exercises, and in most cases he was a leader, so he was already familiar with the process. He reminded him, "The commander can first count the resources, such as the number of weapons and mechas, and make a simple allocation."

After saying that, he realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate.

He had no intention of competing with Shen Minghuan for power and causing instability in the army. He was indeed kind-hearted just now, but it sounded like he was trying to tell people what to do.

Shen Minghuan rubbed the parchment map with his fingers, and absent-mindedly said "um", "Don't worry."

Chu He sighed quietly in his heart. It seemed that Shen Minghuan still minded.

"Yes, commander." He deliberately emphasized the word "command" to show that he was innocent.

[Hiss, this time the choice was actually an ancient battlefield, and the degree of restoration was so high. 】

【The weapons are all cold weapons except for mechas. There is not even a gun. God knows how long I haven't seen such primitive cold weapons. 】

【It seems to be called swords, spears, swords and halberds? As expected of a top military academy, I can't even use these weapons. 】

Not all students in the military academy have awakened talents. Even in the first and highest armies, nearly half of them have not tested their talents.

In order to allow them to participate, this exercise is not mainly based on mecha battles.

Otherwise, Shan Shen Minghuan would be able to sweep the entire battlefield while driving an S-class mecha.

There is not much difference between the three levels of ABC mechas, but there is a huge gap between A-level and S-level, and even between S-level and SS-level. The arsenal of weapons they can carry is twice as large.

However, the most important thing in fighting the Zerg is the mecha, which is an indispensable part of the exercise regardless of background.

Therefore, in this exercise, the cold weapons are divided according to the number of people, and each person can choose one type. The number of mechas in each military school is the same, ten A-level units, ten B-level units, and forty C-level units.

There are tens of thousands of people in a military academy, and there are 70 mechas in total. I have to say that Star Network is really awesome.

But mechas are expensive to build, and even in reality, it is not easy to get the opportunity to operate mechas.

Shen Minghuan yawned.

Too simple.

In the interstellar era, the Alliance people only know how to suppress fire, and their tactics are so simple that they are even crude.

And here is even the background that Shen Minghuan is most familiar with. Let alone him, Zhuo Feichen and Li Chengzhuo in the first world can hang up these people and beat them.

"Commander, do we want to build a city?" Chu He hesitated for a moment, then walked to Shen Minghuan and asked softly.

He didn't want to do such a misleading behavior again, but no one gave the order, and the students standing behind him didn't know what to do.

What a waste of time.

I hope Shen Minghuan won't pay too much attention to the tone he used to ask for instructions.

Chu He felt bitter in his heart. He wished he had known that he would still have to work hard to compete for this position. It was all because he was blinded by Shen Minghuan's excellence and mistakenly thought that this person could do well even if it was his first time.

Nowadays, it seems that the accumulation of experience is still necessary.

Shen Minghuan turned his head and looked up and down, "You know it very well, don't you?"

"It's okay, I understand a little bit." A drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of Chu He's forehead. He prayed that Shen Minghuan would not go crazy at this time. A group of people on the Star Network were watching, so as not to lose the face of the school.

[The command of the Supreme Army is so awesome. While other military academies are still surveying the terrain, he has already started building the city. 】

[Can anyone explain how they started digging? Although I can’t understand it, I think it’s very advanced. 】

In the city defense mission, you can build a city. I also know that haystacks and flagpoles have no defensive power. If you are unlucky, they may be affected from a distance.

This is the first test of command. Building a city according to the terrain and guarding the flag also create an advantage for yourself in defending the city.

Building a city in the Star Network exercise is very simple. Initially, the six forces will be provided with the same building resources. Students only need to move to the designated location and press the confirmation button.

The construction process is not difficult, but the design is difficult.

[The Supreme Army seems to want to dig through the river next to it and create an artificial moat. 】

[Backed by mountains, there is a river outside the city, side passages, the very standard four-image principle, it can be used as a textbook template, and the basic command skills are very solid. 】

[This is called a command? I wonder if the Supreme Army will confiscate it from you. 】

[Fence, city tower, horse face, urn city... Wow, it’s so complete, I feel like I can do it! Let me go! I will give you a performance that one man can stand against and ten thousand men can’t open! 】

[The progress is so fast. They cooperate so well. It feels like everyone trusts their command. It’s so funny. Who can believe that they only reluctantly made the decision at the last second. 】

[I just want to say that it deserves to be the supreme army. According to this progress, it can be built in one day. Let me see. Sure enough, other military academies haven't started yet. 】

[Mom, this is my dream school! 】

[It’s strange, why hasn’t the First Army started yet? 】

The two top military academies have always been equally matched, and even if they are different, they won't be too different. But now that the general framework of the Supreme Army has been revealed, the First Army has not made any moves?

Netizens rushed to the live broadcast room of the First Army.

[As a newbie, I don’t know what stage the First Army is at? 】

[Is that the conductor they chose? Is he the S-level talent owner? He looks really young. The league says he is sixteen years old, but I feel like he is at most fourteen. 】

[I remember it was called Shen Minghuan, it’s a small one, so cute. 】

[Why is he wearing a mask? And this mask seems a bit familiar. 】

"Build a city?" Shen Minghuan was a little confused. He asked Chu He: "Do you think we need to build a city?"

Chu He choked at these words, "Of course we do. Our numbers are small to begin with and there is no city to resist. As long as they rush up to fight, the flags will be cut down easily. No matter how many of us survive and how many enemies we kill, they will be chopped down easily." Most of them count as eliminations.”

Seeing his persistence, Shen Minghuan responded helplessly: "Okay, let's build it."

The comments paused for three seconds after this sentence was finished, and then someone tremblingly said:

[I think this command is not very good? 】

【Actually, I also...】

In Xie Xu's private space, the six military academy principals who were also watching the live broadcast also made a "thump" in their hearts and frowned.

The exercise will not be life-threatening. At most, it will be a little embarrassing if you lose. Xie Xu regretted not intervening and allowed Shen Minghuan to be hailed as the commander-in-chief.

Shen Minghuan was so smart. During the time he was teaching this person, no matter how many homework assignments he assigned, Shen Minghuan could complete them easily and effortlessly.

This person seemed to have no obstacles in his studies. Sometimes even Xie Xu would feel enlightened and benefit a lot from some of his insights.

So much so that Principal Xie, who was immersed in pride and joy, ignored that the boy had amazing strength, but he might not have the mentality to match it.

Xiang Wanqiu frowned, "Xie Xu, you should talk to this child afterward, don't let him be left with a shadow."

Anyone with great talent, usually the more brilliant, the more he can't tolerate his own failure, especially a young man of this age, who has not experienced the polishing of the impermanence of the world and does not have enough open-minded eyes.

"Or we can find a reason to let this child withdraw from this exercise naturally?"

Originally, there was no deep hatred between Xiang Wanqiu and Xie Xu. Their tit-for-tat was just based on school tradition, and they both cherished talents in the same way.

Xie Xu hesitated, "Not so good, right? I think they can't accept retreating before fighting more than failure. If Minghuan knew that the exercise was ended for this reason, he would be even less happy."

Xie Xu sighed: "People like them would rather lose than escape even if they foresee the predetermined outcome."

Xie Xu didn't spend much time with Shen Minghuan. He didn't really know Shen Minghuan, but he knew Tang Chaoyan.

Maybe he didn't know, at least he didn't understand why Tang Chaoyan wanted to rebel.

Just when the principals were worried, Chu He's voice suddenly came out on the screen.

He was shocked, "Commander, you're done so quickly?"

"Very quickly? Well, normal speed, it's very convenient to draw with a light brain." Star Network prepared a special light brain for them in wartime, with many special functions. Shen Minghuan passed the drawings to Chu He.

The main force was some distance away from Shen Minghuan and Chu He. Except for the freshman who was a little confused, everyone else stood there patiently.

It's normal for a commander to take some time to think since he just came in... but it seems that he has been thinking for a long time.

Shang Chi mixed in the crowd, his eyes always fixed on Shen Minghuan.

He couldn't hear the conversation between Shen Minghuan and Chu He clearly, but he could see their expressions and movements.

Chu He's expression suddenly became a little ferocious, and he suddenly stepped closer to Shen Minghuan, looking a little weird and crazy.

Shang Chi was startled and ran to Shen Minghuan with a sword.

After he approached, he found that he might have misunderstood, because Shen Minghuan was as calm as ever, and even gave orders with confidence.

"You seem to be very experienced. Let you supervise the city construction?" Shen Minghuan did not give the other party room to refuse, "Just you want a city."

"No, it's not that I want it, it's... okay, I do want it." Chu He tried to explain in a confused way, but soon decided to give up in the pure doubtful eyes of Shen Minghuan, "Commander, don't you need to survey the terrain?"

He didn't dare to look closely at the optical brain, for fear that the Star Network would take a close-up and show this immature work.

"Commander, I just took a look. We are on a cliff here. There are two dead ends on two sides, and the remaining two sides..." Chu He patiently guided.

Shen Minghuan waved the parchment in his hand and asked puzzledly: "Why do you repeat the information you can see on the map to me again?"

The Star Network has provided topographic maps to the six commanders.

"Because building a city requires a basis...ah?" Chu He took a breath after reacting, "You can judge the terrain environment around us with this?"

There are only a bunch of lines and circles on it, right? You have to know that the survey he refers to is not that simple. They even need to know the height of each nearby hill, whether the surrounding trees are dense, etc.

"It's very clear. I have to say that the map given by Star Network is very detailed, and even the distance is marked." Shen Minghuan exclaimed, "Look, there is a 78.5-meter hill here, and our city wall will be built along this ups and downs."

Chu He opened the light brain blankly, looked at the design and nodded, and then showed a somewhat collapsed expression: "How do you understand it?"

There is clearly no number on the yellowed parchment scroll. Is he blind or too stupid.

"Didn't you notice? The map given by Star Network is scaled down. As long as I know how to bring the terrain under our feet into it, it is easy to get the whole picture."

Shen Minghuan was even more confused, "And this is obviously a combination of Yashan and Changlu Ancient Battlefield in history. I found it as soon as I came here."

Chu He looked dazed.

Why does it seem so easy to listen to Shen Minghuan, but he can't do it at all?

[His current expression is my expression! This is so cool, isn't it? Is this the world in the eyes of a genius? It's so desirable! ]

[I don't understand, but I am shocked. ]

[I understand, but I am also shocked. ]

[Ahhh, he is so awesome! Please ask the God to accept me as a disciple! I also want to say such cool words in such a casual way. ]

[I take back my previous comment that this command is not good. I am short-sighted and have too little experience. Summer insects cannot talk about ice. How can mortals understand the thoughts of God? I am a short-sighted rat, a frog in a well, and a blind eye...]

[Is the upstairs okay? ]

[It is estimated that there is no hope. Drag it out. ]

"Hiss——"

The principals were also stunned.

It turned out that Chu He's understanding of the Star Network was correct. They really enlarged the light brain screen and gave a close-up of the design drawing.

Netizens only thought that the drawing was beautiful and the city looked very advanced and comfortable, but the principals could see something deeper.

To be frank, from their current perspective, they could not find any flaws in this design.

The principals looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xie Xu swallowed his saliva as he looked at Chu He with lifeless eyes on the screen, "After the military exercise, I guess we have to change the target of counseling."

Shen Minghuan should be fine, but Chu He's psychological trauma seems to be deep.

Another principal added with difficulty, "Starnet has screen recording and playback... Maybe all these students need counseling."

Shang Chi looked at Chu He with a crying and laughing expression warily, and approached Shen Minghuan defensively, "Ming... Commander, what's wrong with him?"

"I don't know either." Shen Minghuan also lowered his voice and said distressedly: "Is he uncomfortable? Should we send him out first?"

When people feel sleepy and weak when they are sick, their mental bodies will also be affected.

Shang Chi whispered: "But the exercise has already begun. The teacher said that this opportunity is rare. It would be a pity if this senior missed it, right?"

Shen Minghuan thought for a while, "Then let's make a quick decision and end it early."

[What's wrong with me? I was hit by you, my son. ]

[That's too much. Can you call me son? Be respectful, call me Mingshen! ]

[The Commander really cares about his classmates. No wonder he is so popular in school. Everyone believes in him. I saw someone on the forum summarizing his Q&A posts. I heard that he has only been in school for a week, but he has taught so many things. ]

[My brother is in the First Army. He admires the Commander very much. He said that the Commander never hides anything and is very enthusiastic. ]

[It's so funny. The Commander looks confused. Doesn't he know how powerful he is? Are there really people in the world who are powerful but don't know it? ]

[The Commander is an orphan from Lanxing. That place... I'm not discriminating, but it has always been called a garbage planet, and when he was fourteen, there was a problem with the testing equipment, so... no one could tell the Commander that he is actually very, very good. ]

[I searched it, but I don't know what to say. I feel a little sad. ]

[No one said it, so I'll say it. Commander, if you see our comments, I want to tell you that you are a well-deserved genius, you are very powerful, and you are a treasure given to the Alliance by God. ]

[It's our Mingshen! ]

[It's my child! 】

No one took Shen Minghuan's words "quick battle, quick decision" to heart. The military exercise lasted for one month. If you want to end it early, you have to eliminate the other five military academies.

But how is this possible? There is also a powerful Supreme Army among them.

Chu He forced himself to calm down. It was no big deal. It was just that Shen Minghuan was more amazing than he thought. He couldn't act so unworldly.

"Commander, if nothing unexpected happens, the other four colleges will choose to form an alliance to fight against our First Army and the Supreme Army. Should we also send people to contact the Supreme Army?"

Chu He explained: "The military exercises in the past were like this. If I'm not mistaken, the Supreme Army will also send envoys in a few days."

Star Network is working hard to restore the ancient conditions. Although there are more optical computers, they can only communicate within the team. If you want to communicate with other forces, you must first get the optical computers belonging to the other forces.

Shen Minghuan asked, "Since they will come, why should we send people over?"

"This is a friendly attitude."

Chu He said tactfully, "No one wants to be the party requesting an alliance."

"Is that so." Shen Minghuan thought about it and asked sincerely, "Do we have to form an alliance?"

Chu He was stunned, "There is no such rule, but..."

He said carefully, "We are about 50-50 against the Supreme Army. In order to avoid being picked up by other military schools after both sides suffer losses, we usually work together to eliminate them first."

This is almost a tradition.

"And if we don't form an alliance with the Supreme Army, we may be besieged by the five universities." Chu He said.

Shen Minghuan smiled mysteriously, "I don't think so."

[What do you mean? Does Ming Shen want to form an alliance with the four major military schools to eliminate the Supreme Army? ]

[But if the Supreme Army is eliminated, the other military schools will definitely join forces to deal with the First Army. Ming Shen can't have thought of this, right? ]
