The gold refining equipment in the "ice cellar" must not be used, must not cause any casualties, and must not be brought to visit by strangers from outside the school.
In addition, Manstein added a few more points to minimize damage, otherwise the school's maintenance costs would exceed the budget again this year.
To this end, Manstein joined forces with several professors to form a patrol team, divided into two groups, to guard against and prevent students from causing damage at any time.
On Freedom Day this year, the Lionhearts wore black training uniforms, while the Student Council wore red.
Gu Ran had a catfish tail dagger hidden at his waist. Since he was just playing house as a child, he certainly wouldn't be playing with the Dragon Slayer Sword.
He took a Glock pistol, which was full of Frigga's bullets.
"These are the personnel investigation files you requested." Susie handed four files to Gu Ran, all of which were for A-level members of the student council.
"Thank you," Gu Ran said, looking at the information on the four people and memorizing their appearances.
He grinned wickedly and said, "I'll take care of beheading these four first, and then slowly deal with Caesar. Oh, and by the way, watch out for Lu Mingfei. We'll take him out first, so he doesn't have a good gaming experience!"
“But Caesar will probably target you as well, so you need to be careful,” said Lancelot, the vice president of the Lionheart Society, as he approached fully armed.
Gu Ran said, "So, I had to hide from the beginning. The Lionheart Society was left to the senior students to command. I'm not good at commanding people, but I'm better at stealth and assassination."
"it is good."
Lancelot and Susie quickly finalized their battle plan.
With the ringing of a bell, the day of freedom officially began.
Manstein, accompanied by his disciplinary team, announced, "It's starting now. Listen, we can't let the students run wild this year. Last year, we spent $240,000 just on lawn maintenance, and with all the subsequent expenses, it's already over $350,000!"
"So you were just worried about the money. I thought you were really in charge of discipline." Professor Guderian was wearing a motorcycle helmet and a short-sleeved shirt, making him look quite comical.
He was holding a PPK pistol, but the muzzle was pointed at Manstein.
"Don't point a gun at me with the safety off, damn it, do you even know how to use a gun!" Manstein pushed the muzzle of his gun away and cursed, "Don't let it go off!"
Guderian was about to say how could the goods be sold so easily when he heard a 'bang'!
The gun went off!
“You…” Manstein glared at Guderian, who had been shot in the chest; the anesthetic from Frigga’s bullet took effect immediately.
The professor in charge of discipline fainted at the very beginning of his day of freedom.
"I...I didn't fire!" Guderian looked completely innocent; he hadn't pulled the trigger at all.
He removed the magazine and glanced at it; it was full of bullets, but he hadn't loaded it yet!
Just as he was about to check on the old 'mentally ill friend', another round of gunfire rang out. Guderian then realized that the shooter was not here, but upstairs in the building across the street.
Several disciplinary officers nearby were hit and fell to the ground, while Guderian was also hit in the chest.
In his dazed state, he clearly saw the person who shot him... it was actually his student, Lu Mingfei!
"Report! I've hit the B group's discipline squad; they're all out." Lu Mingfei happily reported to Boss Caesar.
Caesar nodded slightly, then saw that not far away, the Lionheart Society had also wiped out a disciplinary squad.
This is a tacit understanding between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council: remove the troublesome Disciplinary Committee first to avoid interfering with their battle.
This year, without Chu Zihang's participation, Caesar's enthusiasm was actually not very high, and Nono even stopped coming to the Freedom Day.
On the other hand, the Lionheart Society was eager to try, with Susie and Lancelot mobilizing everyone to reclaim the honor they had lost for so many years.
Caesar, of course, could not allow the Lionheart to succeed; as emperor, he would not tolerate anyone challenging his authority.
"We need to keep an eye on Gu Ran's whereabouts," Caesar ordered. "Where is he? Haven't we found him?"
“We can’t find him. He didn’t show up when we were hunting down the disciplinary squad,” Pacino, the student council secretary, reported to Caesar.
Caesar looked at the map of Kassel College and guessed where Gu Ran might be. Now, because of the Night Watch's Word of Power - Commandment, he was unable to use the Weasel.
If Gu Ran were to launch a sneak attack, it would be quite troublesome.
Unlike last year, the two sides did not engage in direct combat this year, but instead engaged in a battle of wits.
But the criteria for victory and defeat remain the same, until only one person remains.
Lu Mingfei was yawning while holding a sniper rifle in the air at the location of a tall tower.
He was terrible at all his other subjects, but he was always good at shooting, even with pistols, he could hit the target very well within 50 meters.
His current position is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he has two senior students protecting him from below, so he is very safe as a sniper.
He originally came to participate in Freedom Day today because he wanted to see Nuonuo and fight alongside her. He hadn't seen Nuonuo since he returned to school.
But since Nono didn't show up today, he felt the game was pointless.
"Lu Mingfei, you have the highest position and the best view. Find the location of the Lionheart Society members, and pay special attention to searching for Gu Ran." Caesar's voice sounded in Lu Mingfei's earpiece.
"Yes!" Lu Mingfei replied, then took out his binoculars and started looking for people.
But just as he peeked out a little, he suddenly heard a gunshot.
With a 'bang', the sniper rifle fired, and Lu Mingfei was hit in the collarbone, immediately feeling dizzy.
"Damn it..." He was hit as soon as he poked his head out, as if someone had calculated his movements and predicted them in advance.
Lu Mingfei knew that his shooting must be related to Gu Ran, but he didn't have time to pass on the information before he passed out.
The one who hit him was sniper Susie, and her observer was Gu Ran.
Gu Ran possessed the ability to see through things with his white eyes; in his gaze, no hidden sentry could escape detection.
He had spotted Lu Mingfei's location a long time ago, so he took Susie and found an angle where they could shoot, waiting for Lu Mingfei to show himself.
As it turned out, this silly boy was so careless that he actually poked his head out without any precautions.
“Lu Mingfei has been taken down; they are now one S-level sniper short.” Gu Ran still had a high opinion of Lu Mingfei’s shooting ability.
He continued to Susie, "I'll take care of the remaining four A-levels first, and then we'll have the final showdown with Caesar."
"Okay!" Susie, holding her sniper rifle, began to move to a new position.
Gu Ran then secretly reported the location of the sentries to Lancelot and Susie, instructing them to eliminate the sentries first.
Under Gu Ran's keen observation, Caesar's plans were laid bare.
Gu Ran went up to the tower, first collected some of Lu Mingfei's blood, and then prepared to launch a surprise attack on the four A-level student council members.
"Found one." Gu Ran installed a silencer on the Glock, and then, without using any ninjutsu, quietly went to the shadows to shoot from the shadows.
A three-shot burst quickly took one down!
Before the other party could even react, Gu Ran had already killed him.
too easy.
At this point, Caesar began to hear news of members being eliminated through his earpiece.
The first members to be eliminated were all A-level or above, and with Lu Mingfei included, four have already been eliminated.
Now, among them, only Caesar and Pacino remain as Class A members.
Caesar thought to himself that the enemy had been controlling the pace of the battle, and that his plans had been completely seen through.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
How exactly did the Lionheart Society manage to do that?
Did they cheat?
But in school, no one can use words of power or Norma's authority, so everyone should be treated fairly.
Caesar redeployed his sentries, but they were quickly discovered.
The Lionheart Society's offensive strategy was very well-organized, and it was probably Lancelot who was in command. Therefore, it was Gu Ran who took out their hidden sentries.
Caesar felt that this battle was more difficult than the one against Chu Zihang.
But he was always the kind of person who grew stronger when facing stronger opponents. So he stopped making unnecessary deployments and instead concentrated his forces to hold their ground, preventing the Lionheart Society from launching any sneak attacks.
“This is an invitation for us to attack,” Lancelot realized Caesar’s intentions.
If the Lionheart Society wants to win the Student Council fair and square, it has no choice but to launch a direct attack, rather than wasting time.
“It’s alright, we have more people now,” Susie said. “We can split into two teams and slowly chip away at their position.”
Because of the previous sneak attack, the student council suffered heavy losses, with only a few core members remaining by Caesar's side.
Chapter 278 Guerrilla Warfare
Gu Ran leisurely finished collecting the blood samples and prepared to launch the final attack.
Once Caesar is defeated, this battle will be over.
But Caesar is currently only holding his ground, making it difficult for him to find an opportunity.
However, there's no need to rush. Lancelot has already begun his frontal attack, so Gu Ran only needs to remain hidden and find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Caesar.
After the decapitation was completed, the student council collapsed on its own.
Gunfire was heard everywhere in the school, and bullet holes were everywhere around the buildings. Fortunately, the students this year were restrained and did not break the windows, fight inside the buildings, or use heavy weapons.
The battle was drawing to a close. Under Lancelot's command, the Lionheart had surrounded Caesar in the last building.
"Surrender, Caesar, you have no chance to fight back!" Lancelot said from the outside, using psychological tactics.
Caesar was not going to surrender. He continued to fight back inside the building, surrounded by some of the student council’s elite members. Their marksmanship was extremely accurate, causing the Lionheart Society’s attack a lot of trouble.
"We retreat." At this moment, Caesar issued the order, "The remaining twelve men, in small teams of three, will disperse and fight a guerrilla war."
"Guerrilla warfare?" Some student council members didn't quite understand.
“Our positional warfare strategy has been exposed. If we continue to hold our ground, we will only suffer defeat. We must abandon our plan for direct combat.” Caesar had already begun packing his things, and his secretary, Pacino, was helping him organize his equipment.
Caesar continued, “An Eastern military tactician once said that the enemy should be maneuvered in mobile warfare and then annihilated.”
"Alright, execute the order!"
At Caesar's command, the student council members began to withdraw from their positions in three-person teams, following the tactical plan.
As the gunshots grew fainter, Lancelot initially thought the student council was playing a trick, luring them into a trap.
Once the gunfire had ceased from the building in front of them, the Lionheart scouts discovered that Caesar and his men had actually escaped.
"Someone as proud as you would run away?" Lancelot thought to himself.
