Kivotos Warlord Development Manual

These cruel words made Nagisa's eyes widen in shock.

"What on earth is the Xuefeng in your memory..."

------------

Tallboy bomb: Actually, its original name was highball glass bomb, because of its appearance which resembles a highball glass, but for some reason it has been translated into tallboy in many places.

A giant aerial bomb developed by Country Y during World War II. The bomb body is 6.4 meters long, 0.96 meters in diameter, weighs 5.4 tons, and is loaded with about 2.36 tons of explosives. It can penetrate a 5-meter-thick concrete layer, and the explosive power is equivalent to a small earthquake.

The most famous achievement was the destruction of the second Bismarck-class ship "Tirpitz".

Tips: The purpose of this strategic weapon appearing in the text is just to show off the heritage of the old school. In fact, it is similar to the large thermobaric bombs that appear in the plot of FOX team. It does not mean that they will be used on a large scale in the plot. Please use them as background references for corresponding plots in the future. Don't worry about the collapse of the plot combat power.

Chapter 122 Nagisa's Brainstorm

"Ah? The Yuki-chan from my memory..."

"Well... He is gentle and considerate to his friends. He can always detect other students' emotional changes at any time. He likes to take the initiative to help everyone solve problems. When encountering various difficult problems, he can always find the best solution. And he will never admit defeat even when facing seniors."

"Although her fighting ability is not as good as mine, if Yuki-chan gets serious, Sakurako, the current leader of the Sisters, will definitely not be her opponent. Hasumi from the Justice Realization Committee will not stand a chance of winning in a close distance..."

"Oh, and my love for Trinity Academy!"

"From small details like the ornamental plants in the garden, the supply of desserts and tea, and the daily routine of the academy, to big details like the conflicts and division of responsibilities between various factions, her laptop is full of these things that will give you a headache just by looking at them..."

"I've never met anyone who cares as much as she does about whether everyone can enjoy school life..."

"That's right! I'm telling you!"

"When I was in junior high school, whenever I met seniors who were arguing over work issues, Xue-chan would take her notebook and go over to ask them about the reason for the argument."

"At the beginning, we were often driven away and criticized by our seniors, but every time at this time, Xue-chan would tell them seriously that she hopes to become someone like the seniors who work hard to make Trinity Academy a better place, so the problems encountered by the seniors will also become her problems, so she hopes that the seniors will teach her well!"

"There were several times when I met a senior with a bad temper and I thought I was going to get beaten up along with her, but in the end those seniors would always patiently tell Xue-chan about the situation."

"Later, those seniors who had quarreled over work would immediately put on a reconciliation look as soon as they saw Xuejiang coming over with a notebook to ask for advice, and then explain to her in great detail the cause and consequences of the conflict. As a result, many conflicts were inexplicably resolved because of her asking for advice..."

"At that time, many seniors said that Xuechan was like a microcosm of the collective will of the Holy Trinity, symbolizing that although there are still misunderstandings and disputes, all of this is for the purpose of realizing the desire to lead each other to a better future."

"During that time, I just followed her and helped carry her schoolbag and notebook. I was very happy because I could always eat the high-end snacks given to us by my seniors, and occasionally I would be invited to various societies and clubs as a guest!~"

"Hmm... these are probably the advantages..."

"As for the shortcomings..."

"That's because Xue-chan is sometimes so proud that she makes people feel a little stubborn, and she won't listen to anything you say..."

"But since she's smarter than me...it's normal that I can't convince her..."

"Anyway, she is the most reliable and best friend!~"

At this point, Mika looked at Nagisa with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Don't you think so, Nagisa?"

"I don't have any problem with Xuefeng..."

"What you just said is actually what I wanted to say."

"When we graduated from junior high school, didn't Xuefeng say that he hoped the three of us could work together to end all the disputes in Trinity Academy?"

Nagisa gently poked the Black Forest cake on the plate, her two beautiful big eyes filled with nostalgia for those memories.

"Ah? Ah... Hehe... I remember this sentence..."

Weihua, whose expression suddenly looked a little unsightly, smiled awkwardly, then lowered her head and ate the cake slice covered with cream and jam in the cup in big mouthfuls.

Of course she remembered this...

And Mika herself still clearly remembers that she told Xue-chan and Nagisa-chan very seriously at that time...

I hope everyone in Trinity Academy can live happily...

Just like she and Nagisa-chan are doing now, everyone sits down together, drinks tea, shares delicious snacks with each other, and then eliminates all misunderstandings and contradictions in a pleasant atmosphere...

but...

When she actually started doing this, she found it was really difficult...

In order to realize this wish, she tried very hard to reconcile with the Arian faction, which was once a member of the Holy Trinity League but was expelled due to misunderstandings and conflicts...

However, the conflict between the Arius faction and other factions caused everyone in the Holy Trinity Academy to not trust them at all. Nagisa would rather reconcile with the annoying guys in the Gehenna Academy than invest even a little bit of energy in the Arius faction...

She originally wanted to wait until she had quietly done the job before explaining it to Nagisa-chan, but recently she suddenly realized that if Nagisa-chan knew about the Arian faction, she would probably put the blame for hurting Yuki-chan on them...

She admitted that the Arius faction was suspicious in this regard, but even the other factions in the academy couldn't clear themselves of suspicion...

By then, it will definitely become the same situation as before, where all factions will bully the Arius faction. This is definitely not the outcome she wants to see...

There is clearly a more annoying Gehenna Academy in front of everyone. I really don't understand why everyone would rather believe in their enemies than their former companions...

But what if Xue-chan also thinks that the murderer is from the Arius faction?

According to her personality, she will completely destroy this faction...

Ugh... I'm in a dead end...

Nagisa, who was still thinking about why Yukikaze used such a radical tactic, did not notice the conflicted expression on Mika's face, but continued to explain to herself.

"Yukikaze is a person who cares deeply about her companions, just as she cares about everyone at Trinity Academy."

"We all know that she is good at strategy and political means, but she has never tried to resolve the internal conflicts of Holy Trinity Academy by forcing or hurting anyone."

"She once said something that left a deep impression on me. If we regard the result of an event as a 100% completion medal, then every time we cause our companions to suffer 10% loss in the process of achieving our goal, our medal will have a 20% stain."

"If the gain of something requires a 50% loss to a partner, then it is 100% tainted."

"So as a leader, you must take the loss of your companions seriously, because this tainted medal has no value other than bringing harm to your companions and the group."

Nagisa's words interrupted Mika's melancholy thoughts, and the pink-haired girl, who had no idea what these words meant, couldn't help but ask.

"But Nagisa-chan, some losses are necessary, right?"

"For example, the people at the front of the battle line will certainly bear the most blows and pain, but if no one stands at the front, then won't the line collapse?"

"If we lose the war, then everyone will lose more things, right?"

After hearing Mika's question, Nagisa, who had a rather serious expression, couldn't help but smile slightly, seeming very happy that she could think of this.

“So this sentence is specifically for the leader.”

“The reason why sacrifice and dedication are praised and admired is that the contributors bear the corresponding costs on behalf of others, which is why there is an old saying that if you don’t reward people who do good things, there will be no good people.”

"But for a leader, if you force your companions who act according to your will to bear losses, and take this behavior for granted, it means that you do not have the ability and qualifications to lead everyone. Therefore, such a guy who does not consider everyone will inevitably be opposed and hated by everyone."

"What Xuefeng meant was that as a leader, one should not only see how beautiful the glittering medal is, but also pay attention to how conspicuous the stain on the medal is."

"If we fail to care about the interests and feelings of each faction, then even if we force everyone to be integrated together, it will only lead to more serious contradictions and conflicts because of these stains that cannot be eliminated."

Having said that, Nagisa saw that Mika still had a confused expression on her face, so she couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

"Then let's use the assumption we made when we came here as an analogy. If you brought Xuefeng back to Trinity Academy, would everyone be happy?"

"And think about it from another angle. Although we paid the price of the destruction of Holy Trinity Academy and the serious injuries of countless students, we must have also dealt a heavy blow to our rival, Gehenna Academy. Perhaps in a dozen years, Holy Trinity students will regard us as heroic predecessors who successfully suppressed their mortal enemy."

"The price we paid in this matter is the stain on this medal of heroism."

"Because of our impulsiveness, this generation of students has suffered terrible damage from the war. The destroyed academy and classics can never be recovered. Ultimately, all future generations will no longer be able to experience the unique artistic atmosphere and classical atmosphere of Trinity Academy..."

When Nagisa's voice filled with regret fell, Mika, who was about to suffer psychological trauma from her assumption, nodded bitterly, indicating that she had completely understood. Then she asked back with a puzzled look on her face.

"But what does this have to do with Xue-chan's current behavior?"

"Then do you think Xuefeng would use his companion as a sacrifice? Even if this companion is only temporary."

Nagisa did not answer her question directly, but asked it back quietly. Mika on the opposite side thought for a moment and shook her head.

"No, even though her classmates who considered her a rival and tried to scheme against her more than once received help from Xue-chan when they encountered difficulties, her pride would not allow her to do anything that would hurt her companions."

After hearing the other party's pertinent opinion, Nagisa nodded helplessly.

"That is the essence of the problem..."

"Although Xuefeng also liked to make some thrilling plans in the past, after careful analysis, it is often a tactic that fully utilizes one's own advantages to target the enemy's disadvantages while ensuring the safety of the executors."

"But now the situation on the battlefield below the mountain is so dangerous that it can no longer be described as thrilling..."

"Two of the three battlefields used large-scale self-destruct weapons as attack tactics. Regardless of how much danger the students driving the self-destruct vehicles endured, once the explosives were detonated prematurely, all the friendly forces nearby who did not have time to retreat would all suffer heavy losses."

"Even when facing us, the students of Gehenna Academy have never used such cruel tactics, right?"

"If Xuefeng wins in this way, wouldn't it be like getting a completely tainted medal..."

“Not necessarily…”

"Normally in this situation, Xue-chan would assign the most dangerous mission to the most suitable person. If there is no suitable person, she would assign it to herself, right?"

"There seems to be a big difference in the number of people on both sides below. I think it's normal for Xue-chan to use this tactic, right?"

Mika tilted her head in confusion, while the expression on Nagisa's face became even darker.

"If that's the case, it's even more troublesome..."

"It's not like the three of us haven't lost before. In order to take care of our classmates' feelings, we would occasionally give in in entertainment activities such as club competitions..."

"But now Xuefeng has adopted such a terrifying radical attitude towards her classmates. Does this mean that her thoughts have entered a state of extreme radicalism..."

"No, Nagisa-chan..."

"Do you really believe that Yuki-chan would become something weird like that?"

Mika on the opposite side suddenly put on a serious look, and this expression, which was rarely seen on her face, immediately attracted Nagisa's attention.

Although my childhood friend often behaves a little off the track because she doesn't like to think, she is undoubtedly a very smart person. Maybe she really has some other discoveries...

Thinking of this, Nagisa looked at Mika expectantly and whispered.

"What do you think?"

"Hehe! Of course! I could already tell that something was wrong with Yuki-chan's behavior!"

As she spoke, Weihua raised her delicate chin, and then continued with a proud look on her face.

"Because she didn't even consider those guys below as her companions!~"

"..."

"Forget it...just keep eating your cake..."

Nagisa silently pushed the cake plate next to her over, her face full of regret for having expected something from this idiot...

Seeing her like this, Weihua quickly waved her arms to try to attract her attention.

"Don't be angry, Nagisa-chan! I just couldn't help but make a joke when I saw your serious expression!~"

"Although I don't quite understand why Yuki-chan fought to such an extent in Gehenna Academy, but according to your analysis yesterday, she can only be more powerful than before to be able to arrange such a big plan, right? So how could she become a narrow-minded and extreme person..."

Mika's words were like a handful of cold water poured over Nagisa's head, quickly extinguishing the messy thoughts in Nagisa's mind.

"You're right... a radical person wouldn't come up with that kind of plan..."

"Maybe I'm thinking too simply..."

That's right...

Even if Xuefeng entered a radical state, according to her intelligence level, it is impossible for her to become a crazy fighting maniac who goes crazy at the smell of blood. So there must be some deeper factors that led to this battle...

Based on my observations during this period, it was clear that the tactics formulated by Xuefeng regarded the open area outside the main gate on the south side as the main battlefield, while the battlefields on the east and north sides were surprise attacks to seek tactical advantages.

This tactical plan has no major problems in theory, except that it is a bit confident in one's own strength.

But what changed his mind was the global blast broadcast he had just received.

The attacking side on the main battlefield in the south, despite suffering a huge casualty rate, was still trying to cover the suicide trucks to destroy the opponent's fortress.

This also means...

Xuefeng deployed surprise attacks against the defenders in all three battlefields...

For example, the "coalition forces" on the south side who, in order to cover the suicide trucks, forcibly pushed the battle line to the south side under the wall despite the enemy's fire suppression...

There was also the "coalition forces" on the north side who braved the enemy's fire blockade, crossed half of the mountain range and forcibly raided the refinery, desperately sending themselves to the defense's encirclement...

Finally, the "coalition forces" on the east side drove the self-destruct ships into the other side's port area and destroyed most of the factory area in one fell swoop...

All the attacking forces seemed to be fighting with a fierce determination to die together with the defending side. She had never seen such a battle in the Holy Trinity Academy where factional struggles were prevalent...

Therefore, she also deduced from this aspect that in Xuefeng's eyes, these three attacking forces were basically all victims that could be abandoned at any time. The sacrifice of any one of them might bring a chance of victory to the other two parties...
