Commanding Wind and Cloud Chapter 420

A+ A- Chapter 420: Transportation Kills Elite, Noob Kills Master
Hoare Tee cast an appreciative look at Lenz Zarf, telling himself that although as an Adder Bloodline Warrior, this buddy didn't possess too strong of a combat power, he excelled at coming up with sinister plots. Thus he is counted on to help him establish military merits in the human-demon battlefield in the future.
"Four dispatches of transportation soldiers…" Qian Jin looked at the chess pieces in his hands feebly and started to miss Fanta Kunge, who was left in the Ancient Desert Sea with unknown chances of life or death. As a professional soldier brought up in a military family, these transportation soldiers would be exerted totally differently when used by Fanta Kunge.
"How should I deploy them?"
Qian Jin looked at the immense space unfolding in the front, tapped on the desk lightly and started to recall what he had seen in the Qian Family's dossier, among which there was a record about a trivial battle led by the losers of bloodline power awakening in the Qian Family.
It was petty and unremarkable and wasn't even recorded by the predecessors of bloodline warriors. Qian Jin came to know this because of the parchment scroll placed inside an awarding medal that noted down this battle.
According to it, the losers of bloodline awakening in the Qian Family were sent to transport food but got lost due to the heavy fog. When they showed up in front of the enemies, the smog happened to have evaporated.
The sudden appearance of this nominal logistic transportation dispatch made the enemies believe that they were the lures sent by some lurking forces.
Neither the dispatch nor the demons dared to act recklessly. Considering that the cavalries of the Demons moved very quickly, making it easier for them to be arrested on escape, the transportation dispatch remained motionless on the fixed place waiting for rescue.
After half a day, the Demons lost their patience and send some forces to make a tentative attack, which ended up with the disappearance of the logistic transportation dispatch. Due to this half a day's delay, the Zence Empire got the advantageous stance in the battle.
What about making this move? Qian Jin drew a straight line with one chess piece on the chess board directly and pushed it toward the military camp stationed at the end of the board. By doing so, an imaginary

line showed up on the chess board and began moving toward the grids.
"What is that?" Lenz Zarf looked at the four dispatches deployed by Qian Jin, of which the spotlights were moving at full speed toward the front line.
"Aha? Why are they moving so fast?" Hoare Tee looked at Lenz Zarf surprised as the moving speed of the transportation soldiers was way too fast. Weren't they full-loaded at first? It should make their movement speed much slower. What were they trying to do here?
Lenz Zarf turned back at Hoare Tee and shook his head. Being weak in combat power, the main task of the transportation soldiers was transferring materials and provisions, while when necessary they could also play the role of men-at-arms. Given this size of military forces, they would certainly end up being killed. What they were doing now was undoubtedly committing suicide.
The eyes of Lenz Zarf twisted several times. Given their way of moving which seemed like going into the battle without any burden, these transportation soldier dispatches had shaken off most materials. Driving the empty carriages, they were actually releasing an attack by virtue of speed.
If… Lenz Zarf swallowed incessantly. Was it a real battle, this dispatch might have been caught by the commander for beheading, yet there wasn't a substantive marshal on their side. The instructor deliberated on testing their instantaneous reaction and coordination, which provided them with a loophole to be exploited.
Qian Jin marched forward at a very fast speed. There was also a measurement of time on the chessboard of which several seconds or minutes might equal one day in the general sense. Thus everybody had to fasten their actions and make judgments within the shortest time.
Ding.
After climbing onto a peak, Qian Jin's transportation dispatch saw another transportation group of relatively small size by virtue of the open view.
That transportation group was also moving toward the peak, yet at a slow speed, indicating that they were in the fully-loaded state.
What was this? Qian Jin was shocked for one second and then had a quick observation of the landform. It turned out that they were at a very advantageous place suitable for garrisoning. Should the main forces moved forward, this place would become a stable rear area fit for storing provisions and fodder.
"Oh." Qian Jin nodded lightly.

lightly. Given the other students' movement speed, they were far from where he was. The instructor who was now their enemy utilized this unknown situation to get the transportation soldiers of his move fast. Due to fully-loaded movement and the goal of leaving room for the rear forces, that transportation group had already shown signs of fatigue. Thus even though there were only five hundred of them, their comprehensive strength was lower than that of Qian Jin' dispatch.
"Damn."
Lenz Zarf's curse rang in the silent classroom. Qian Jin found that a green light spot near him disappeared all of a sudden, which turned out to be the light from a scout sent by one of his classmates with the aim of taking the shortcut for multi-spot detection who was then killed by the opponent side.
"The defense is too tight." Looking at the disappeared green light spot, Lenz Zarf tapped his chin with his fingers. "Now that there are lurking forces on this unnoticeable path with the abilities to conduct an instant killing, none of us could get the materials we want. But the forces on the instructor's side ought to be limited. So what is the loophole here?"
Hoare Tee looked into Lenz Zarf silently and placed his soldiers along Lenz Zarf's side.
"I wonder whether Qian Jin's dispatches have been wiped out." Lenz Zarf screwed his lips out of discontent. The troops of Qian Jin had gone so fast that they had left out of the sight of the public and might have been killed off already.
At the sight of the location of the green light spot, Qian Jin shook his head. That scout had placed himself at such a low place that others could detect him easily yet he had no one within his eyesight including Qian Jin.
The forty transportation soldiers got some stones from the peak for casting, making Qian Jin start to admire this magic conductor which was installed with such inclusive functions including the display of a row of magic buttons for him to choose functions from. This somewhat felt similar to the endless world.
However, compared with the functions of the endless world, those harbored here were both small in number and low in lifelikeness. Everybody was, after all, a chess piece with no murderous intent brought on by a real battlefield.
After a brief preparation, Qian Jin

Qian Jin picked up a dispatch to release the attack. Then he found that the battle capacity of the forty people's dispatch rose up by ten percent, which then got as high as one hundred and sixty due to the increase in morale and the sneak attack.
However, the battle capacity of the peak-approaching transportation group decreased by half once again, slumping from the original one hundred and twenty to sixty.
The moment Qian Jin saw such data, he pressed the button of releasing the attack to push the chess piece representing his transportation dispatch toward that of the enemy.
All of a sudden, stone pieces flew in all directions, making the battle capacity decline from sixty to forty. While the data of the transportation dispatch rose up from one hundred and sixty to one hundred and sixty-three. Within a wink, the logistic transportation dispatch started rushing at the enemies.
"What?"
The old professor sitting in the pulpit had his long white eyebrows wiggle as a light of surprise flashed by his eyes. How could a dispatch of provision transportation soldiers show up here as the enemies? Strange, that's too strange! Were there only forty of them?
Why did they release the attack? Were they some hidden rapid march forces nearby? Why did they choose here as the attacking point? This place should have been occupied by me according to the general theory of military strategy, so how dare they take the risk of attacking here? Who came up with such an idea? Should I rescue them? How many lurking forces were there?
After this shot moment of thinking, the data of the transportation dispatch had fallen from forty to twenty.
Were it for rescue, they couldn't have sent the major forces here. The instructor understood instantly that this ought to an adventure. However, who had the guts to take on this adventure? What they had dispatched were transportation soldiers who had little combat power.
At the same time, Nanmen Xiangrong was studying this deployment in confusion, a group of light cavalry had already clambered onto the top of the mountain and gone out of his sight.
The time elapsed much faster on the battlefield than in real life. No sooner had the light cavalry moved for a long distance than Qian Jin began sweeping the battlefield.
Weapons and armaments? Qian Jin didn't count that this count that this supplies and gear dispatch was playing the role of transferring weapons and armaments, so he used the armaments to reorganize the four supplies and gear dispatches and laid the assorted crossbows on the mountaintop.
Fleeing? Qian Jin never thought about that. He knew by instinct that his forces were doomed to be annihilated the minute the game started and that to escape would just trigger more casualties. In this way, he'd better kill more enemies to gain more points.
The light cavalry dispatch totaling two hundred enjoyed a bar of combat data of two thousand. Looking at the light cavalry who had slowed down, Qian Jin made a long sigh and felt it fortunate that it was a dispatch of light cavalry knocking at his door. Should it be a group of men-at-arms or hoplites aimed at him, he would be in a big trouble then.
A group of forty got separated from the light cavalry dispatch of two hundred to have an inspection of the surroundings. With the annihilation of the supplies and gear dispatch, they were deprived of the right of viewing the location of their enemies.
The top priority was to find Qian Jin's forces. Nanmen Xiangrong sent out four cavalry teams and ordered ten light cavalry soldiers to collect the remains of the robbed supplies and gear. From his perspective, the enemies totaling forty couldn't have taken away all the materials and provisions.
Ding. A beam of light was emitted from the peak where the fierce battle had just taken place. Then ten light cavalry soldiers in light leather armor disappeared into the void.
"Wha? They haven't left?"
Nanmen Xiangrong looked at the place the ten light cavalry soldiers lost their lives. Though they didn't constitute large casualties at all, it had been his second time being defeated.
The most important question here was who was commanding this force? How could he garrison the supplies and gear dispatch on the mountaintop? Instead of following the routine action of leaving after the victory, he chose to carry out the last-ditch defense. With the help of the procured armaments.
The separated light cavalry continued rummaging. Nanmen Xiangrong couldn't believe that all supplies and gear soldiers were staying still on the peak. Could it be that that special commander ordered one part of his forces to garrison here while the others had fled?
