Chapter 516: Tactical Regulations

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“First squad, pay attention to evade, hold off the enemy! Second squad, cover us with fire! Third squad, prepare to attack from the side wing of the group of apes, remember, you must break through! Fourth squad, prepare to take off! Fifth squad, ambush the apes from behind!” Luke, the leader of the third military group commanded methodically.

They encountered a large group of Brilliant Apes, and in this group there were no less than 500 apes. The group of apes was vast and endless. Chen Mu ordered the third military group to be in charge of this attack!

Such offensive drills were carried out all the way till the end.

All the card artisans understood the boss’s intention, he simply wanted to train their tactical cooperation. Most of them have experience of being on a card artisan team. All kinds of tactical cooperation trainings were included in the daily training of each card artisan team, but they had never seen these many tactical cooperations!

Normally, there were about 20 tactical regulations for an ordinary card artisan team, while bigger card artisan teams such as Scarlet Card Artisan Team and Snowflake Card Artisan Team would have more tactical regulations, which was about 40 regulations included. As for the military, there were more than 80 tactical regulations. The so-called tactical regulations was to specify what kind of countermeasures would be taken when dealing with certain circumstances. Every card artisan was required to bear this in mind and utilize them proficiently.

However, there were 189 tactical regulations distributed by the boss!

Everyone felt like giving up this time. 189 tactical regulations would take them forever just to memorize it, let alone to put them to use.

The boss was absolutely insane!

All the card artisans were cursing in their hearts, but none of them dared to object. They were still overshadowed by the last punishment, everyone knew clearly the consequences of disobeying the boss’s order. Starting from the captain, everyone was hugging the book close, gnawing. They certainly looked more enthusiastic than those fanatic sophophile!

This was because the boss had set a time frame, those who couldn’t memorize it within three days would be penalized!

The boss didn’t say what the penalty was, but they were even more frightened by this, no one could guarantee that the boss only knew of one type of penalty.

There were hums of studying everywhere inside the camp. The scene of these short-tempered card artisans frowning their brows while studying was really weird.

“189 tactical regulations!” Qiu Shanyu was going through the tactical regulations, the shock she was in was imaginable. These tactical regulations explained all types of tactical principles in details, but even she was terrified by the high level of detail! She was not directly responsible for the daily training of the team, but she knew that the daily training of Faya Card Artisans contained only 48 tactical regulations while that of the Great Six contained about 60 regulations!

This is absolutely a priceless treasure! It was too bad she could not send it back, Qiu Shanyu sighed inwardly. Faya was far worse than the Great Six on these aspects, the team’s combat power could be greatly enhanced if these tactical regulations were to be sent back.

“So many tactical regulations, how frightening! But it’s so complicated, how can one think so much during a battle?” Bei Ling asked in distressed while biting her finger. She took a look at Rafael who was studying hard for the tactical regulations, feeling anxious for him.

These guards didn’t have to memorize the tactical regulations. But the newly promulgated tactical regulation was still the hottest topic discussed by them.

“The boss is amazing!” Fu Dong gasped in admiration, this was not the first time that he had made such exclamation.

“These tactical regulations can surely fetch a good price if they were to be sold,” Wen Renhong smiled seductively, blue eyes gleaming.

Kuangshi gave a look of admiration too, “No wonder Rossiji would praise the boss. It will cause a stir in Heavenly Federation if these tactical regulations are published!”

Wen Renhong turned his eyes to a card artisan who stayed quiet and smiled wickedly, “Wu Jie, what do you think?”

Wu Jie was unprepossessing and usually taciturn, but none of these people dared to mess with him.

Wu Jie didn’t even lift his eyelids, “Do you want to be like the Snow Thorn Bear?”

Everyone shuddered upon hearing it, a ghastly expression came over Wen Renhong’s face. They were pretty shaken by the Snow Thorn Bear, the guy wearing a wooden mask was unbelievably strong. He and the little boy would always come back dragging a beast every night. All these beasts, without exception, were huge, ferocious and powerful.

And since they found out that fresh blood was a good material, the beasts that were dragged back were all knocked out.

There were Snow Wavy Blade Tiger, the king of the Snow Forest; an Iron Snow Ice Rhino with a body stronger than steel that could not be hurt even the slightest by any card lower than four stars, and a Seamless Deer that went like the wind and was the hardest beast to catch.

The most challenging for them was when Wei-ah came back dragging a huge Blazing Frost Breath Python that was longer than 15 meters and the diameter of its waist was wider than three meters. Everyone was dumbstruck by it!

In their minds, Wei-ah instantly moved on from primitive giant beast to a primitive beastmaster.

Unlike Wei-ah, the White Commander never revealed his strength. He spent most of his time thinking alone every day. And every once in a while, he would take out all sorts of strange things that were eye-opening to the card artisans.

Chen Mu was indeed thinking, as he had too much to think about. These tactical regulations were mostly formulated by Bogner and he himself added some to it. He was sceptical about whether he was overdoing it, but he decided to add these tactical regulations after much consideration. These regulations were the results deducted after his calculations, their usefulness would be clear after a real battle. Anyway, he could modify it easily if needed.

The completion of the tactical regulations also indicated the completion of his most important work.

And he didn’t intend to start making cards for these 15 grade seven card artisans instantly. This was not a good time to make cards for them, in a sense, they were sort of a hidden danger. There was much more uncertainty about them compared to those ordinary card artisans. He was waiting, waiting for the ordinary card artisans to become stronger. Thus, he would have more advantage in hand even if anything were to happen.

Chen Mu was also fairly cautious about the choices of several captains His final decision would be made after careful observations.

He was examining the one and only six-star card in his hand, the Eternal Night!

Since he’d gotten the card, he’d never had time to examine it up until now.

Six-star cards were rare and were what every card artisan dreamt of. It was not long since the Eternal Night was made, and it was yet to be passed on.

The Eternal Night was an illusion card, the so-called illusion card that could lead the enemy falling into illusions. A low level illusion card was a mere shadow, creating illusions through the images of light and sound. While for the illusion created by the high level illusion card, not only could it affect the light and sound, but also the senses of touch, smell and even telegnosis and perception!

And the Eternal Night was exactly like this!

This card could cause enemy to fall into total darkness, and all their senses would be blocked in this darkness. Not only that, it created waves of energy fluctuation that influenced the enemy’s central nervous system unnoticeably. It would boost the bioelectricity to a level that was unbearable by the nerves, dying straight away.

Wounds could never be found on the bodies of those who died of the Eternal Night.

This was a six-star card!

The horror of the six-star card was unimaginable to those card artisan who never came across it. Even Chen Mu was struck dumb! The card could actually do such incredible trick, this was far beyond his imagination. Now he knew how shallow his level of understanding was to energy structures.

Shapeless and formless fluctuating waves could kill people without a trace!

The power of this card exceeded any of the cards that he had used before. Both Bipolar Card and Golden Word Shackle were powerful cards, but they were inferior to the Eternal Night. This was because of the difference between their energy structures. If one day he’d reached a higher level of understanding about energy structure and a more precise control on energy, he could probably unleash the power of the Bipolar Card and the Golden Word Shackle no less than that of the Eternal Night.

But obviously he didn’t have such capability right now.

As the Eternal Night emitted waves of fluctuations that were similar to brain waves, shapeless, formless and undetectable by perception, the boss was just sitting still over there, where Fu Dong and the others could keep an eye on him.

Chen Mu also noticed the limitation of the Eternal Night. It was only useful against the advanced creatures and not those lower forms of life with no cranial nerves. In addition, the card artisans from Bitter Solitude Temple have restraining effect on this type of card. Chen Mu speculated that this might have something to do with the Perception Training Guide which was practiced by them.

But even so, the power of this card was beyond question. No wonder it was rated a six-star, it sure enough deserved it!

The Eternal Night had extremely high requirements on card artisan’s precision of perception control, but fortunately this was what he was best at. But even a person like him that could barely use it, could only cover an area of 100 square meters.

Not everyone could use a six-star card. Chen Mu was always very confident in the precision of his perception control, he never thought that he could only barely use it.

There were four card slots on Chen Mu’s meter. One of the slots was inserted with a power-card, one with a jet stream card, one with Hundred Changes and the other with Bipolar.

There were not enough card slots! Chen Mu thought distressedly. The power-card and jet stream card were indispensable, and the Hundred Changes was the main attack card when he was in oblivion, thus it was indefeasible. The only one that could be changed was the Bipolar Card. But the Bipolar Card could attack and defense, so it was quite useful in jungles.

After much consideration, he decided to retain the Bipolar Card, although the Eternal Night was powerful, it consumed too much perception and was not suitable as the main battle card.

Imagine how powerful the strength of the perceptions of those well known elites were!

His gaze suddenly landed on the jet stream card. He had made the Big Mud Fish Card a long time ago, and now it needed to be upgraded. Even though its agility was excellent as always, but it didn’t have much advantage in terms of speed. It was not suitable for fleeing in situations of danger.

It was not so hard for him to make a higher performance and more controllable jet stream card now, what’s more, he had the help of the Computation Box.

However…

His gaze landed on his own meter.

A bold thought appeared in his mind, perhaps, he could try and make a meter that suited himself. The occurrence of the thought lifted his spirit. In essence, a meter was a type of Card Appliance, but it was an unusual one.

He plunged into his Jungle Shuttle!

Deep in the jungle, a great number of transport shuttles were parked by the side of the road to Lijiang City. All the transport shuttles were camouflaged, and more than half were buried in the snow.

“Uncle, will they really come?” Ru Qiu asked in disbelief.

“Hmm, of course,” Bogner slouched lazily on the commander chair.

“Why?” Ru Qiu continued to ask doubtfully.

Bogner was helpless, as he shifted his gaze to Jiang Liang and said casually, “Little Ginger, you answer the question.”

“The enemy base was destroyed, and if word got out, it would certainly ruin their reputations. We are weak forces in the eyes of the enemy! They will definitely attack us at full scale out of anger. They will first start by attacking the garrison nearest to us, entangling us, so that they can surround us completely,” Jiang Liang sat bolt upright with a solemn expression on his face and said coldly. “This is their only route, besides, they would never have expected a weak force like us to make the first move. We have the initiative in terms of strategy. While the earliest time reinforcements from other places can arrive is by tomorrow night, this gives us enough time to break through individually. This is called interdiction of enemy reinforcements!”

“Wow, awesome, Little Ginger!” Ru Qiu said admiringly, she had became more lively than before after getting together with Bogner and the others. As the heir to the dean of Card Making Branch Academy, she was sheltered by everyone at school, but she indirectly became isolated from her peers, resulting in her slightly autistic personality before.

Jiang Liang sat up straight as usual, the veins on his forehead throbbing once again.

“But, these are just new card artisans, I’m afraid…” Sue Lochiro said worryingly.

Bogner sat up and laughed, “Don’t worry, Miss Sue Lo, I never expected anything from these new recruits before, all we can rely on are still the old recruits. Just let the new recruits have a feel of the combat atmosphere. But since we are going to lay in ambush for the enemy, the new recruits can still play a role in it.

From here, the difference in treatment between Sue Lochiro and Ru Qiu could clearly be seen. Little Ru Qiu was a cute little girl in the eyes of Bogner and Xi Ping. But Sue Lochiro was equal to them in their eyes.

Although they were concerned about whether the relationship between the boss and Sue Lochiro was of friendship or love, they were as yet unclear. However, this was not the factor that decided her position in the team, but the role she played in the team.

Her medical skills had cured a lot of casualties and her prescribed medicines have caused substantial damage to the enemy.

In this team, regardless of whether they were leaders like Bogner and Xi Ping or the lowest ranking of card artisans, all of them sincerely respected the kind and capable medical card artisan.

Right at that moment, there was a report coming from the front line, “Report! Target sighted!”
