Shi Lang and his team rushed back towards their spawning camp. While Jenkins ordered the battle ss to deal with the ‘rats of the technology ss’ he said. The situation was not as easily solved as thetter thought it would be.
The vice-captain of the technological team spoke in themunicator, “Captain, we are being heavily attacked. They are using their special abilities, what do you suggest?”
The very next moment he heard a calm voice, “Remember what we discussed back in the ssroom?”
The vice-captain nodded and said, “Yes. I wille up with something.”
They were aware that the people outside would be able to monitor their conversation. Every word spoken by Shi Lang will be used by the invigtors to mark him. In the ssroom, they had reached a point where all the strategies failed against the brute strength of the battle ss.
The vice-captain of the team was the third most intelligent student in the ss. This guy would stay quiet most of the time, and that was why Shi Lang asked him to be the vice-captain when their teams were separated. He did not have much confidence in himself but Shi Lang told him that those who are quiet in a crowd would always be good at observing the situation.
Not only this the two had a private small talk where Shi Lang told him that casualties are inevitable, but since it was a game, they needed to use the casualties. Han Shu was surprised at this. However, when he thought about it, he nodded with a trace of determination in his mind. He had told Shi Lang an idea that was put up as a fail-safe or ast resort.
Han Shu spoke in hismunicator, “We charge for Valha.”
The speed of the technological ss’s escape increased. They were now running ahead with all their might, they did not even use the cover of the trees in the forest. They were making a beeline to the regroup spot.
The snipers, gueris, and decoys all gave up the cover and sustained injuries from the chasing assaulters. However, they focused on safeguarding their vitals as they ran. Jenkins was the only one who found this action fishy. He did not want to act before things were clear for him. Or more like, he will not act before he knew what was happening.
Slowly, his speed decreased and he fell at the back of the pack.
The technological ss had gathered at a clearing and the people suddenly stopped in their tracks. The assaulting group now had found that something was wrong and approached them all with a calm and steady pace. Jenkins had given amand just a second ago, “Act with caution, something is wrong.”
The leading person asked, “Do you intend to surrender?”
Han Shu stepped forward and said, “Yes, we are tired.”
Then he raised his hands up and ced them behind his head. The technological ss was surrounded by all sides, however, the people looked at the back of Han Shu’s head. The battle ss did not take notice of Han Shu’s fingers. They all thought that the ss was feeling emotional at the brave front of their vice-captain.
They had all heard the announcement from the Principal. It will take fifty seconds for Shi Lang and his group to arrive here. They wanted to use this chance to take down the main forces of the technological ss.
The total number of surrendering students was forty-five. Excluding ten medics, and Shi Lang’s band. This was the majority of the technological ss. The assaulters were five meters away from Hao Shu when the person tilted his head with a smile.
Following that, a roar echoed in the space, “TO VALHALLA.”
The assaulters froze and then they received heavy fire from the so-called surrendering students. They did not imagine the technological ss to use such a low blow against them. They began to fight with the outer circles of the team and failed to notice that the technological ss was standing in a circr formation.
They had a total of fouryers, three were gueris troops. The outeryers were used by those behind as meat shields. They were far crueler than the battle ss had imagined them to be. The snipers were all taking opportunistic shots, making a big difference.
The assault group had lost twenty people and this made the rest be aggressive. They all wanted to avenge theirrades, and they charged forward with their abilities. However, what awaited them was a cruel reality. Inside the innermostyer, the decoys were connecting all the phaser-nades. A version of the hand grenade, that had an impact equal to hundred of traditional grenades.
Jenkins had noticed something and hemanded, “Fall back.”
However, his dyed reaction had allowed the technological team toplete their goal. The next thing was a bright light eruption followed by a loud boom.
…
Suddenly, Stevenson said, “Valha? Was that not the code used by General Tallus, for hisst battle suicide charge in the year of 1600B, the charge to Valha.”
Rosa picked up his words, “His log mentioned that the federation forces were weak inparison to the ambushers in the tundra star system, to safeguard the arriving reinforcements. He decisively detonated the nuclear cores of his ships. Most of the crew was sent out in escape pods but the denotation was manual. Not willing to leave any of his men behind, General Tallus, stayed behind and became an immortal.”
Stevenson nodded, this ount was correct. Aries said, “The resolve of the technology branch requires special consideration. They all can quit and end this, it has happened in the past when the technological ss will give up on the battle. However, this time, in my opinion, they have shown the true capabilities of their ss.
Whether it is the strategy, execution, teamwork, or decisiveness. If they had enough star-level, then they could have been on par with the battle ss.”
The rest of the teachers nodded. They could not pick up anything wrong in what Commander Aries had said. Igor stood silently in the corner watching the battle on the screen. It was not that the battle ss had performed badly, it was his action of intervention with the exam that had put his ss in a bad light.
Jenkins’s action had also been taken notice of. His retreat was good but he did not notify his team about it. That was not expected of a leader. The army had a principal, live for the force, die for yourrades. Jenkins defied the second part. It was his dy that caused this scenario. It could have been avoided earlier.
…
Shi Lang and his team were running through the forest, when they heard the explosion, they were only ten seconds away from the epicenter. Shi Lang sighed and said, “Be careful, the defensive ability ones might have survived this st. Go take them down.”
Jane said, “Lang, remember, a wounded tiger is more dangerous.”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “Do you think, I gave him that code name to glorify him? I know about this already. Make sure to act together and be fast, do not let the fisherman win the battle.”
Those were thest words before the teams split up. Shi Lang rushed to the center of the charred clearing. The people of the team moved around the circle to deal with everyone.
Shi Lang stopped in his tracks, like the one he has been looking for appeared in front of him. Jenkins had tattered armor. The guy was not looking like his glorious self. His hair was unkempt, and his shoulders were dropped. Shi Lang first scanned the sides and found that a few people of the battle ss were alive, however, they were all incapable of action.
Shi Lang heard Jenkins speak, “You really had a good n.”
Thetter just shrugged his shoulders and said, “It was all Han Shu. I really had no idea. But well, it did achieve the goal.”
