Chapter 174: Military learning, war chess deduction (please take time off to make up for update 12)
Over the next three days, the incident spread rapidly throughout the city, causing a huge response.
?Countless people were shocked and rushed to tell each other. The streets and alleys were full of voices discussing Tina.
For ordinary residents, on the one hand, they applaud Tina and thank her for getting rid of evil in Oran City and avenging the innocent people who died;
On the other hand, people are also worried about the reaction of the city lord, fearing that the city lord will retaliate against Tina. They do not want to receive news of Tina''s sudden and violent death.
But in the next week, Oran City was unexpectedly calm.
??Tina stayed in the military camp and never came out, and the city government did not make any statement on this.
??Both sides stopped fighting, as if the incident had just passed.
But Su Yu knew that all this was just the beginning.
At the end of the 20th round of the main storyline, the reward Su Yu received was an accessory - [Explorer Armguard].
【Explorer Armguards (Legendary)】
+15 Defense
+20 Spell Power
Way of Exploration: Killing a unit provides 0.5 defense (up to 15 defense).
??Remarks: The legendary jewelry [Zhonya’s Hourglass] can be synthesized with [Stopwatch] and [Devil’s Codex].
There’s nothing much to say about the accessories. Su Yu is one step closer to synthesizing [Zhongya’s Hourglass].
As for the goal of the plot line.
Open the [Plot Customization] module. The current completion status of the three goals is:
Goal 1. Dispel Tina’s uneasiness and help her regain her confidence. (Progress: 56%)
Goal 2. Let Tina be recognized by 80% of the members of the Unicorn Knights. (Current approval rate 61.2%)
Goal 3. Let Tina be recognized by more than 60% of the residents of Oran City. (Current recognition rate is 71%)
? Tina’s behavior in the arena has had a wide impact. Currently, goal 3 has been completed, and goal 2 is almost completed.
?It’s just that Tina is still a little unconfident, and there is still a little gap from completing goal 1.
?But Su Yu is not worried, he still has 5 levels of tasks that can be used for training. Ahem, wrong, it is educating Tina, which will definitely restore Tina''s confidence.
After the Coliseum incident, Tina simply rested for two days to recover.
After recovering, Su Yu arranged the 21st ring task for her:
“[Saint of Oran City (21/100)].”
“Task requirement: Follow Tina and learn military knowledge from the military scientist [Lumber Scarlet].”
“Task rewards: Random rewards based on task completion.”
???As the commander of the Knights, Tina’s personal strength is not only important, but her military qualities are also very important. After all, Tina will lead troops to fight in the future, and it is not enough to know nothing about military affairs.
? And [Lamber Scarlet] is the most knowledgeable military scientist in Oran City that Su Yu knows, so it is right for Tina to learn from him.
?At ten o''clock in the morning on the third day, Su Yu and Tina came to No. 10 Fengquan Street and visited Lambert Scarlet who lived here.
Lambert Scarlet is an old man in his sixties with a gray beard and a kind face. He used to be the chief staff of the previous city lord and is now retired at home.
Facing the visit from Tina and Su Yu, after hearing their purpose, Lambo stroked his beard and fell into thinking.
??Tina''s incident has caused a lot of commotion in the whole city recently, and of course he has heard about it. As a military scientist, Lambert certainly knows the value of Tina. If she can be favored by the patron saint, Tina''s future will definitely be limitless!
But teaching Tina would offend the city lord''s mansion.
After thinking about it, Lambert finally decided to side with the empire: "Okay, I will accept you as a student. However, military study is very boring, so you have to think clearly in advance."
“Don’t worry, teacher, I will definitely study hard.” Tina promised seriously.
"Very good!" Lambert took a book from the bookshelf behind him: "Then let''s start now! The first lesson, the differences between the various services in the army."
In the next week, Tina spent her time studying.
In the morning, Lambert imparted various military knowledge to Tina;
In the afternoon, Tina painstakingly studied various art of war books;
At night, Su Yu accompanied Tina to review what she had learned throughout the day until dawn.
But what is unexpected is that Tina also shows amazing talent in military studies!
?This talent is no less than the talent in her bloodline!
??Tina''s military literacy improved by leaps and bounds, so much so that after just one week, Lambert Scarlet had nothing to teach Tina.
He looked at the "Advanced Battle Formation Illustrations" that was turned to the last page in his hand and was speechless: "Tina, I have nothing to teach you anymore. You are ready to start training. But having said that, you are really good at teaching me. Have you mastered everything?”
"Of course I have mastered them all, teacher." Tina replied sincerely: "These military knowledge gave me a feeling that I had mastered it before. Your teachings just made me recall these contents, so I can master them." Extremely fast.”
“Is that so?” Lambert touched his beard.
??Tina can be seen by the patron saint, it seems that she is indeed outstanding.
"Tina, before you go out, how about we go to the War Chess Association for a ''war chess deduction''? So that I can actually understand your current level." Lambert invited.
“War chess deduction” is a game often played by military enthusiasts in the gaming world.
The War Chess Association has several huge "spiritual sandboxes". By consuming psychic coins, the terrain and environment of the sandbox can be randomly changed, and troops can be randomly generated.
Both parties participating in the deduction can control their respective units to have a simulated duel on the sand table, which is a bit like RTS games such as "Red Alert", "Age of Empires", and "Star" in the real world, but much simpler.
The level of "war chess deduction" is also set as an indicator to measure personal military strength, because after actual evaluation, using this thing to test military level is much more accurate than talking about it on paper.
??Tina has heard of "war chess deduction" during her studies, but has not experienced it herself.
Hearing the teacher''s suggestion, her eyes lit up: "Okay! Let''s go to the Chess Association now."
In the 22nd round of the mission, Su Yu, Tina and Lambo came to the War Chess Association to watch the war chess deduction.
They use the highest-grade "Psychic Sandbox", which consumes 10,000 Psychic Coins every day.
?This most high-end sand table also has extremely complete functions.
?In addition to conventional military combat, it can also dig traps, create horse-repelling weapons, release miasma, poison the water, etc., with various functions.
The battles between both sides are also more purposeful. Seizing the target stronghold on the map can add additional attributes to the troops.
?Under the control of Tina and Lambert, teams of 30,000 on each side galloped across the psychic sand table. Either a frontal confrontation, a side ambush, a divided encirclement, or a besieging point for reinforcements.
??Tina was not familiar with the operation mode at the beginning and lost three games in a row.
But gradually, she became familiar with the rhythm and began to slowly regain her disadvantage.
When the deduction reached the 7th game, Tina stopped her losing streak and finally managed to tie with Lambert by virtue of a sniper battle that held the stronghold.
