Chapter 2796 - 1324: Breaking Through Like a Bamboo (Part 2)

In other words, in most of the chicken-pecking arenas, like those among the lower-grade students of major military academies, the value of high-level units is actually not that high. It might even lead to self-sabotage due to their ability to adapt to any instruction, letting you play with minor adjustments until you’re defeated by a swift attack, making them quite a burden.

But, the premise of the above example is the low-end arena!

In reality, high-level units are simply not meant for amateurs to play with. They have nothing to do with the ’lower limit’ of both sides in a simulation. The designers’ starting point in developing such units is quite straightforward: to utilize the commanders’ ’upper limit.’

Units that three people can use to complete tactical instructions, as compared to those that require dozens or hundreds to achieve simple tactical changes, make no difference to rookies. Yet, in the hands of some people, these high-level units can work wonders.

Considering human energy is always limited, even in large-scale battles, the strongest elite provided by the system is very rare. However, the developers hope someone can use these units to perform impressive tricks and create high-end effects to enhance the product value of [Battle Six type].

And Motan is undoubtedly a tactician capable of integrating various tricks effectively, and his upper limit in this aspect is relatively high.

Thus, a scene that could make anyone’s eyes pop appeared on the field. A supposedly small-scale Blue faction’s army demonstrated momentum far exceeding its numbers, forcibly wiping out an enemy several times its size without a single loss, all without halting for even a moment.

With rapid interspersions, dazzling directional changes, and unpredictable formations, with almost every advance, this Blue faction’s troops completely transformed their overall style, layout, and rhythm one to two times. This transformation became their unshakeable advantage against the next wave of opponents, even causing jaw-dropping changes during combat.

Understand, this isn’t a two-person face-off where you move one piece at a time, nor is it a real-time strategy game where operators in the real world can adjust strategies swiftly based on the battle situation. This heck is a battle simulation that must be input using hand-written instruction cards before the host can present it, with each step having huge delays. Keeping that in mind, the operations of this Blue faction’s troops are...no, can be said to be very, very, very frightening!

But if it’s just this level...

"Not enough."

After staring blankly at the small screen for almost half a minute, Lei Er Si suddenly shook her head hard and said in a deep voice, "Even though it’s so impressive now that I can’t find words to describe it, in this situation, even if this Blue faction’s troops have indeed accomplished a series of breakthroughs that can only be described as miracles, having defeated nearly ten times more enemies up till now, it’s still not enough!"

La Ersi: "..."

Lei Er Si was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at the silent La Ersi, curiously asking in a small voice, "Sister?"

She couldn’t help but be surprised because, with her understanding of this sister whose character and words are rather sharp, the latter couldn’t possibly have no reaction to the Blue faction’s obvious shortcomings. Not continuing the conversation right away was indeed surprising.

"Huh, what?"

Just breaking free from her thoughts, La Ersi blinked and, a bit puzzled, turned to look at her own sister, curiously asking, "What did you say wasn’t enough, Lei Er Si?"

Lei Er Si, who just realized she had been ignored, awkwardly scratched her cheek, lightly coughed, and earnestly stated, "I meant that although the Blue faction’s unit is incredible, so powerful that I can’t even describe it, ultimately, they can’t shake the Red faction’s troops that have already invested nearly ten armies into the central war zone, with only half an army’s worth of them."

"Oh, I understand what you mean."

La Ersi nodded slightly, then redirected her gaze back to the small screen, which she had already switched to the Blue faction’s main perspective, saying absent-mindedly, "Because of the limited number, that Blue faction’s troops will soon lose much stamina in such ultra-long-range outflank breakthroughs, and hence their pace will be gradually dragged down by the Red faction, which is starting to conduct large-scale interceptions, finally being surrounded and wiped out by the opponent due to the numerical advantage. That’s your thought, isn’t it Lei Er Si?"

Lei Er Si nodded energetically, indicating she meant that.

"Your thoughts are right."

La Ersi continued to stare intently at the screen showing the Blue faction’s perspective and then slightly curved her mouth into a somewhat helpless smile, "But the premise of all this is that the Blue faction is just as you said, having only such a single team of the highest-grade units equal to half an army."

The younger sister, with beautiful blue hair and a noticeably larger upper body, initially froze, then suddenly realized, "Ah! Does sister mean... the advanced units in Black Vatican Priest’s hand still have reserves?! It shouldn’t be. I just reviewed both sides’ initial troop ratios, and each side only has less than two armies of such level units!"

La Ersi raised her brows, guiding the question, "So what?"

"So...so..."

The almost confused Lei Er Si took several seconds to react, suddenly clapping her small hands loudly, saying, "So after the prolonged mutual consumption earlier, the highest grade units the Blue faction can retain are only this many, right? If they were replaced with the next tier units, although they could barely suffice in number, the pace wouldn’t be as crazy as now, and getting intercepted would only be a matter of time!"

"Yes, very true, Lei Er Si."

La Ersi cast a look of appreciation towards her sister, then softly murmured, "But the question is, why do you think the Blue faction’s high-level units decrease over time?"

Lei Er Si was a bit lost now, instinctively replying, "Because any type of unit is sure to decrease over time..."

"Wrong."

This time, La Ersi shook her head, dismissing her sister’s claim, solemnly stating, "Only common units decrease over time, but high-level units can increase instead."

Lei Er Si instantly stood frozen as if hit by lightning. After quite a while, she mechanically turned her head, staring at the overhead map on the crystal screen in front of her, her soft voice growing hoarse, "Could it be..."

"Precisely that ’could it be.’ Although delayed for too many steps, I finally see the first card Black Vatican Priest had hidden in his sleeve. Look closely, Lei Er Si."

La Ersi casually made a cross a short distance in front of the rampaging Blue faction troops and said in a deep voice, "Here it comes!"

For a moment, many thought La Ersi’s ’here it comes’ was referring to the Blue faction troops finally reaching their critical point, soon slowing down in the next wave of enemy interception, unwittingly digging their own grave for defeat.

That is indeed the case. Even though they achieved miraculous feats, the impact of these Blue faction troops on the overall strategic situation was not significant. Perhaps tactically, the previous series of operations, whether to insiders or outsiders, was remarkably divine and stunning. But strategically, although Red suffered losses, they are at a level even if multiplied several times it would still be acceptable.

And at this moment, even though the Blue faction’s unit composed entirely of high-level elites still retains combat capability and exudes an imposing momentum, data shows their overall condition is already very dangerous.

The next charge could likely be this unit’s critical point!

Then, just when everyone was on edge as if joking...

A Blue faction unit approximately equal in size suddenly [collided] from not far off, immediately shattering two previously well-prepared, ready-to-intercept Red faction units on contact!
