Chapter 2773 - 1313: Hei Fan’s Weaknesses

In a certain area at the center of the sand table, a group of triangular markers glowing with blue fluorescent light is slowly moving eastward.

If someone with a vivid imagination were to see this simple geometric figure, perhaps they might visualize it as a silent and stealthy tactical squad, consisting of two company’s worth of Light Cavalry, a handful of Scouts hovering around the edges, and slightly over a dozen Spellcasters with a smaller base number.

They are undoubtedly an elite unit. If we were to zoom in on the map several times, it would be quite evident that each unit has two to three pentagrams glowing with faint golden light beside it — a very direct marker of elite troops.

In this fair tactical simulation, each large-scale army group has a certain proportion of elite units. Compared to their counterparts of the same type, their combat effectiveness is significantly stronger, they respond to commands faster, and they can execute many complex and delicate instructions.

Apart from the elite units assigned directly by the Main System, such as the top three combat brigades of each army group, the top three battalions of each brigade, and the small team leader units of every squad, Common units that meet the ’Veteran’ criteria can also be promoted to elite status, though the requirements are very stringent.

For example, an ordinary Knight squadron, after undergoing several battles with a rather high casualty rate, the survivors among them have a certain probability of being promoted. The specific rules are hidden, but for Motan, this is not a problem.

When he came back online, with very little time left before the competition began, Fyari surreptitiously pulled him aside and discreetly handed him a stack of documents.

"I got the specific parameters of the [Battle Six type] from a business partner I’m familiar with. Last night, I took the time to extract and summarize the more useful content for you. Remember as much as you can,"

said the Wealth Saintess, smiling as she patted Motan on the shoulder. "Don’t feel like you’re getting an unfair advantage. I’m not sure about others, but Foster definitely knows about these things. We’re just putting you on the same starting line as him, understand?"

Motan did not answer, just silently took the stack of refined documents from Fyari, quickly filtering and memorizing them.

Excluding the intelligence he had already analyzed when watching the competition himself, and filtering out the information that Fyari couldn’t see was irrelevant to the specific simulation, Motan memorized about seven hundred words of text.

Among them was a piece about the mechanism of soldier promotion.

Obviously, Fyari’s previous concerns that Motan might resist such ’little tricks’ were quite unfounded. Not to mention that he under his current personality would definitely not mind such opportunities, even under his Orderly Good personality, Motan would not reject such ’fair’ offers, especially since Foster had knowledge of this intelligence.

As for that other personality, which misses no opportunity to gain an advantage, there’s no need to even bring it up.

Let us return to the point.

The troop’s current location on the sand table corresponds to ’Preset Location No. 19’ and somewhere near ’Tentative Code Name [Jam]’ on both sides, within a forested area surrounded by a total of six high-risk conflict zones.

Clearly, it’s merely a covert operation.

In their minds, the silent and tall Knights tightened their reins, standing silently at the spot, while the Scouts, who had been constantly traversing near their comrades, suddenly accelerated, expanding their search range more than threefold. As for the Spellcasters protected in the center of the troop, they unanimously sat cross-legged, meditating to recover their physical and Magic Power.

Suddenly, a string of deafening explosions sounded from afar — that’s the Portable Magic Cannon from the red side’s position. This type of high-level unit, which can be swiftly deployed by engineering units within positions, cannot move and its range is not particularly far, yet it possesses very strong area attack capability. In defensive battles, it can almost equate to a full five standard Spellcaster units, and although it consumes supplies heavily, it is exceptionally cost-effective when used properly.

Neither the Scouts, Knights, nor Spellcasters reacted at all.

In more poetic terms, it’s because these soldiers, forged in iron and blood, only know loyalty to orders, disregarding all matters including their own life and death.

In plain terms, it’s because these simple symbols received no commands, so naturally would give no response.

Correct, they are merely symbols, symbols endowed with certain functions, only reacting under specific circumstances, not people, they... or rather ’they’...

...

"No breath, no thought, no heartbeat."

Teresa murmured softly, casting her gaze into the mist not far from the [Jam] position, laughing lightly: "They are the perfect soldiers in the hearts of the majority of Commanders, unfortunately, Hei Fan is not among that ’majority.’"

Lian, who was busy writing feverishly beside her, did not respond, partly because she truly did not understand, and partly because she was extremely busy at the moment, with no time for anything else.

Unlike Motan, who took on the majority of thinking tasks in the opposing command room, Teresa used her senior Lian compatriot as a true Counselor, in other words, assigning some basic tasks that were not very important or difficult to the Counselor to handle with limitations.
