Chapter 312 "Necromancer"

"Ahem, pay attention in class. This is not a game, and who wants to play can leave." Teacher Huo Mai criticized with a serious face.
"Exactly, and to cheat right in front of the teacher, you really don't have any respect for your teacher," Bai Lieyan responded with a stern expression.
云苔立马蔫了。她心虚啊，她上课的目的就是玩啊！如果不是想着玩，想着可能会有的‘网络战争游戏’,她选哪门子战斗指挥课程啊！
Because of feeling guilty, Yun Tai ignored the question of why student number 51 would know her name.
But everyone in the classroom heard it clearly and vividly.
One second, two seconds, three seconds later, many people in the classroom had a relieved expression on their faces. Indeed, their class leader was beaten so brutally by a girl who sounded almost the same age as them, without even having a chance to fight back! Translation: "Because of feeling guilty, Yun Tai ignored the question of why student number 51 would know her name. But everyone in the classroom heard it clearly and vividly.

But if it's this enchanting person...
For some reason, it seems normal to lose to her, not something worth being surprised about.
The professor from the alchemy branch widened their eyes, full of excitement. They originally thought... but didn't expect... what a pleasant surprise!
"Ahem, please prepare, two students. Student number 51, please choose the executor." Fu Songhe didn't give Yun Tai any chance to refuse. Who dares to refuse the emperor's words of command?
“不变。”澜昊说道。
“谢谢。”烈峥上前一步，对51号的影像行了一个标准的贵族致谢礼。执行官对于战场的感受相比其他人要深得多。
“那云苔呢？”
云昭梅立刻举起了手,可惜……
“拜托老师了。”在这么多虎视眈眈的眼睛瞪视下,云苔哪敢搁担子啊。
Yun Tai, keep up the good work. Teacher believes in you.
The professor from the Alchemy Academy encouraged.
The two of them entered the virtual reality cabin again.
The simulation began.
This time, the battlefield was not a plain but a range of mountains.
"This is the Gueiss Valley, the border between Ulan and Nanteng. The dispute over the mineral veins a few years ago was discovered in the mountains nearby," the alchemy academy teacher explained as he quickly provided information to Yun Tai, hoping to be of assistance. He remembered that Yun Tai had previously requested to know the composition of the soil and the walls on the battlefield. Although he didn't understand what use Yun Tai had for this information, as an alchemist who had witnessed Yun Tai's extraordinary ideas, he believed that Yun Tai's inquiry must have a purpose. Therefore, upon recognizing the battlefield at first glance, he shared all the knowledge he had with Yun Tai.
“古伊斯河谷？老师，您是说这里在远古是一条河道？”云苔从己方俯视对面。这宽度应该称之为江了吧！如果一定要称河，那这河的宽度跟黄河最宽的那段有得一比。
Yes. You can determine the original water level by observing the depth of the stone patterns on the cliff in the distance. There is a small path to the southwest, and it is highly likely that the other party will use it to launch a surprise attack." the teacher reminded.
51号是进攻方，因此只有驻扎的大本营，没有坚固的星堡防御。云苔是防守方，但所处的是普通的石头城，并非无坚不摧的军事堡垒。从防御来看云苔方有优势，但优势不大。
幻境顶端出现了倒计时。
归零。
“营中有俘虏，把这消息散发出去。”51号同学发布了第一条命令。
卑鄙啊！这是教室里所有同学心中的呐喊。刚刚听了云苔的一番言论，谁都知道她是一个重视生命的人，如果有俘虏，云苔肯定不会像之前那样简单粗暴，闪电空袭的方案也只有作废。
Looking at this side of Yuntai, these commands are a bit difficult to understand:
First, buy 100,000 dan of flour and place them on both sides of the small road in the southwest, with a scout stationed there to monitor the enemy's movements---It is normal to have a scout monitoring, but hiding 100,000 dan of flour there indicates that Yuntai has already determined that its city will be breached, so it is hiding a portion of the food in advance?
Secondly, let the earth-based mage scrape off another layer of stone soil from the cliffs on both sides and lay it on the main road for the frontal attack. These soils must have been fortified, right? Quite a grand gesture! No wonder it's called the purple gold vein of the battlefield! However, the opponents will surely be prepared for such clearly newly turned soil, won't they?
Three, the entire city is gathering materials. From curtains, bed sheets, and duvet covers to washcloths and cleaning rags, nothing is spared. It's almost as if they want everyone to take off their jackets— if we were to capture the enemy's stronghold and strip it of its resources, no one would say anything. But now, before the war has even begun, treating our own people like this, wouldn't it cause a riot? Translation:
Four, the plant-based magician conjures bamboo and everyone starts splitting bamboo strips to weave a large bamboo basket. In connection with the previous statement, many students immediately realize that this is actually a simple airship! With such a large bamboo basket, could it be that Yun Tai is preparing to transport troops in the air, airdropping them behind enemy lines to encircle the enemy?
……
Previously, wasn't every battle over in just ten seconds? His Majesty always advocated for swift and decisive victories. But now, looking at this situation, it seems like even ten seconds won't be enough! The attendant next to the Emperor's side listened to the constant reports of the names of officials waiting outside the palace, and a bitter taste filled his mouth.
While Yun Tai was methodically giving out commands one by one, Student No. 51 blew the horn of attack. Clearly, he did not intend to give Yun Tai much time to prepare.
A standard fish formation team, with aerial airship protection. The majority of the troops stopped 50 miles away from the Stonetown. Obviously, the commander also noticed the renovated ground ahead.
"Earth element mage, step forward."
As expected, Commander 51 immediately orders the earth element mage to convert all the surface soil to the underground, and then cast the spell, Earth Barrier.
出乎大家意料的是，云苔居然没有任何阻挠的措施。
难道说这土壤并没有加什么料，云苔这么做是故意迷惑用来消耗对方魔法师的魔力？
坚地术施展之后进攻的大部队并没有马上进攻，而是飞艇中队对石头城展开了一轮空中打击。
云苔派遣了飞艇中队进行拦截。
地面火力的支持弥补了云苔指挥上的缺陷，第一轮空战结果双方的损失半斤八两。
“斥候来报，在小道发现敌军踪影。”
"Afterwards, there is no need to report it, let him handle it on his own. Estimate that after the enemy forces enter the valley, sprinkle flour, and then throw a match into the valley. He doesn't need to worry about anything else."
51号没有动静，云苔自然更不急。有道是兵来将挡水来土掩，她是守方，她急什么。
“西南小道没有发现任何防御，只有一名斥候监视。”
Lan Hao felt incredulous. Even someone who knows very little about war would understand the importance of setting up defensive measures on a small path. Otherwise, there would be a risk of being caught off guard. In the first battle, Yun Tai had already requested information about the terrain, so she couldn't have been unaware of this. Yet, the result of their reconnaissance showed no ambushes, no magic circles, and no magical defensive tools. They were just allowed to pass like that? Lan Hao couldn't believe that Yun Tai would be so kind. But he couldn't figure out what means Yun Tai would use. It seemed that after years without fighting, his acuteness in war command had dulled.
Since I can't guess, let's fight!
The main forces move out. Airborne troops provide protection. A squadron also advances along the southwest path.
Water and fire elemental mages stand apart on top of the Stone City walls.
When the enemy's main force is less than ten miles away from Stone City, Yun Tai orders, "Make it rain!"
A water-element mage casts Rainfall Spell.
A sunshower falls, making the ground boil, and hell reappears.
Everyone's faces in the classroom changed.
"Necromancer!" screamed a student.
