Gu Tong’s mind raced, considering every possibility at lightning speed, making sure no detail was overlooked.
"The enemy will break through the defense, retreat to point three, Yang Yun, prepare to shoot!"
Exposure didn’t matter anymore, what was crucial was that they could face elimination at any moment. Gu Tong was determined not to leave the Royal Academy, so she came up with a quick response strategy.
"Also, get the smoke bombs ready! Await orders! Throw them at positions six and eight respectively!"
These two spots were where the monitors were set up, and the explosion of smoke bombs would impair the officers’ vision.
"But the smoke bombs will also obstruct our vision," Fang Liqiang said, somewhat uncertainly.
"It’s still better than exposing our targets!" Yuan Jianlan snapped back, her tone still fiery.
"What happened earlier was an accident. I’m also focused on the team now!" Fang Liqiang glared, feeling guilty yet defiant.
"For the team? You almost got us killed, and you still have the nerve to say that!"
"Stop arguing, all of you!"
Gu Tong coldly surveyed them, her ice-cold eyes devoid of warmth, and said, "Look at the time! You’re still arguing incessantly. Do you all want to go back with a zero score?"
"But without a good strategy, we can’t act rashly!"
"Rashly?" Gu Tong sneered, "Listen up! We have no second path now; it’s either win or lose! The enemy is about to attack, there’s no time for discussing battle strategies! We must go with the majority!"
"Of course, if you’re discontent, you can charge out and fight alone! Likewise, I won’t hesitate to sacrifice a teammate at a crucial moment!"
It’s true that this is a team battle, but the rules don’t say everyone must survive.
Thus, many team members also choose to sacrifice at critical moments.
Gu Tong never intended to sacrifice a teammate, but disobedient ones were an exception; after all, on the battlefield, a wavering ally is more terrifying than the enemy.
Fang Liqiang met Gu Tong’s cold, unyielding gaze and felt her seriousness.
He never imagined Gu Tong would say something like that: "Follow me and prosper; oppose me and perish." Wasn’t she afraid of chilling her teammates’ hearts?
However, Gu Tong was not afraid of anything because this is the rule of the battlefield!
"Prepare the smoke bombs immediately, start throwing when you hear the command!"
The Royal exercises’ smoke bombs didn’t have a large dose and weren’t comparable to real battlefield configurations, so their effect was limited. Given the vast grounds, these smoke bombs could obscure the enemy’s vision but only for about a hundred and eighty seconds.
Gu Tong calculated the time swiftly. She had only three minutes of accurate utilization time!
"Yang Yun, get ready for sniping!" Gu Tong gritted her teeth but courageously prepared for sniping.
This was her only method now; success or failure hinged on this moment.
"Yes!" Yang Yun responded loudly, already prepared.
"Smoke bomb, prepare!"
With all deployments complete, all that was left was the patient waiting. Gu Tong estimated that in one and a half minutes, the enemy would step into the sniper zone, as long as her calculations were correct.
Two Remote Electromagnetic Devices firing simultaneously had an eighty percent chance of annihilating a squad.
’Boom! Boom! Boom!’ The smoke bombs exploded at points six and eight, and suddenly, those two points were shrouded in smoke.
Gu Tong gripped the Remote Electromagnetic Device, ready to shoot, her heart in her throat. The tiny black dots in the sniper scope flickered past, bringing joy to her heart. She said, "Shoot!"
