Sun Ke, Zhou Ze Qiang, and Xu Jiantao were stunned the moment they saw Zhu Pengcheng. Usually, the East and West Branch would also have some information circulating with each other, such as Zhu Pengcheng, a student with great potential.
”Zhu Pengcheng?” Zhou Ze Qiang was shocked.
Sun Ke laughed, ”Haha, I didn't think that Chief Instructor Lin would be able to create an elite team in such a short time. Are you one of them?”
Zhu Pengcheng nodded with a smile, at the same time, he walked towards the West Branch's banner and said, ”That's right, Sun Tutor's guesses are correct. Everyone in the elite team has their own mission, for example, my mission is … … ”Draw the flag!”
After Zhu Pengcheng finished speaking, Sun Ke's heart was startled. The other two men also looked at Zhu Pengcheng with their mouths agape.
Right, the final result of the exercise wasn't who got the first few levels, or even who got to the other side's headquarters first. It was which side got the flag first.
In the past exercises, everyone had followed the rules and continuously destroyed the opponent's level, all the way to the headquarters. Finally, everyone annihilated the opponent and pulled out the flag, so the flag was only a symbol of victory, so everyone had forgotten that this action actually determined the outcome of the battle ahead of time!
Seeing Zhu Pengcheng reach for the flagpole, Xu Jiantao subconsciously rushed over and stopped him, ”Hmph, you guys are trying to do a sneak attack!”
Zhu Pengcheng was pressed down on the sand table, but he did not feel any fear or anger. Instead, he leisurely smiled. If that's the case, then I'm afraid our chief instructor has already cleared your level! ”
Hearing Zhu Pengcheng say this, Xu Jiantao immediately let go of his hand. Sun Ke said, ”That's right. Instructors can't do anything during exercises. Pull it out! ”
He knew that the exercise was over, and that they were going to take down the East Courtyard in four days. Who knew that before one day had even passed, the East Courtyard would have already pulled the flag?
Zhu Pengcheng got up, gripped the flagpole tightly and pulled it out. He smiled and said, ”Many thanks. Then, may the instructors inform all the squads to finish the battle so as to not waste any energy!”
Sun Ke took a deep breath and nodded his head. Then, he picked up the switchboard and pressed a few numbers, ”Stop all operations. Everyone stay put and prepare to return to the West District.”
Following that, Zhou Ze Qiang and Xu Jianqiu also informed the squad at the front line through the walkie-talkie, telling them to give up the attack. Everyone returned to their respective checkpoints and, of course, all the students in the headquarters.
Very quickly, Sang Tianlei and his men rushed into the tent. They did not know why their opponents had suddenly stopped, but regardless of their elimination, they were soldiers after all.
However, when they saw the banner in Zhu Pengcheng's hand, they all understood. Qin Wei'er smiled and said, ”Zhu Pengcheng, did you draw the flag?”
Zhu Pengcheng nodded his head and said, ”Haha, this is a special mission given to me by the chief instructor, so I didn't tell anyone about it. Sorry.”
Chen Weilong laughed, ”Haha, this is a good thing. Brother Peng Cheng, you did a great deed. You're awesome!”
”Yeah, I never thought that Peng Cheng would become a Elite Armament in the end, impressive,” said Li Taiyu as he turned his head to look at Sang Tianlei, ”Tianlei, did you hear that? I'm not a simple logistics guy, and I won by surprise.”
Sang Tianlei looked unconvinced, ”Tsk, it's just a coincidence. Fuck, why didn't Zi Chen give me this task? Simple and honorable, sigh … ”
Hearing this, everyone laughed out loud with joy at their victory. At the same time, they also laughed at Sang Tianlei's cuteness.
In the Eastern Courtyard's headquarters, Huo Qing answered a phone call, his face full of confusion. He turned his head and said, ”Master, the west side's checkpoint …” It's safe now, the other side suddenly retreated. ”
Jiang Hua was also dumbfounded as he said, ”Me too, the other party has suddenly withdrawn.”
Lin Zichen faintly smiled, he placed the small wild walnut he had been playing with onto the sand table and said, ”It seems that the net has been successfully retracted. Haha, the quick end to the battle should be due to the effect of the Elite Armament.”
”What?” Master, you mean … Those elite members pushed the other party's headquarters? ” Huo Qing said with an expression of disbelief.
”Heh heh, Yulin!”
”Yes, Mr. Lin.”
”Tell all the students to stop defending and come to the headquarters to await the command to leave the mountain!”
”Yes, but …” Mr. Lin, did we really win? ” Yulin couldn't believe it. Putting aside the fact that the East Branch had never won in the past few years, just this speed alone was shocking. It was probably the fastest in the entire history of the academy's exercise.
Lin Zichen smiled, turned on the walkie-talkie and said, ”Wei'er, report on the situation.”
On the other side, Qin Wei'er had been too preoccupied with her happiness that she forgot to report to Lin Zichen. When she heard the voice from the walkie-talkie, she immediately replied.
”Chief instructor, the enemy's battle flag has been drawn. The drills are over and we've won!”
”Yes, Mister Lin!” To them, this was a historic breakthrough. The East Branch had finally won a training exercise!
Afterwards, the group took the exercise jeep to the west courtyard headquarters. When they arrived, they saw the West Branch students sitting outside the headquarters with dejected expressions. Each and every one of their expressions didn't seem to have recovered from their shock, unable to believe that the west courtyard had actually lost.
