Chapter 271
…
Zhao Tang felt relieved after seeing his injured classmates being healed. Turning to look at the "culprits" outside the transparent shield, Zhao Tang felt angry and furious, as well as a sense of indescribable grievance.
Young Master Zhao had never been humiliated like this in his entire life, especially by the same group of people repeatedly on the same day. The actions of the Eighteenth Group of the Imperial United University were undoubtedly a humiliation to Young Master Zhao! (Of course, this was from Zhao Tang's perspective.)
Young Master Zhao, filled with resentment, stared intently at the heavily guarded cave and shouted:
"What are you all standing there for?! They've already started fighting, and you don't know how to fight back!!"
"Zhao Tang, calm down. The other party just fired a warning shot. They have stopped shooting now. If we retaliate now, it will only escalate the situation..."
Although their overall strength was far superior, the enemy had responded to their call, demonstrating their willingness to fight. A real clash would likely require them to exploit the terrain and caverns, fortifications that would not only entangle them for a prolonged period but also significantly deplete their natural strength and energy resources. Furthermore, if the enemy ultimately fought to the death, their men would inevitably suffer casualties. Even if they ultimately won, the gains would be greater than the losses. Shangguan Yu frowned as he analyzed the pros and cons, then tried to dissuade Zhao Tang, who was clamoring for a fight.
"Shangguan Yu, I told you, even though we're allies, I'm the leader. If I say we have to fight, we have to fight. They were the first to strike, so what's wrong with us fighting back?!!! If you want your people to be healed, fight them!"
Under normal circumstances, Zhao Tang might have known to restrain himself and give Shangguan Yu some face, but at this moment, Young Master Zhao had already thrown his rationality out of the window, and he only wanted to "fight to the death" with the group of people in the cave.
Shangguan Yu's expression didn't change much after Zhao Tang's sharp words came out, but the group of people from the Imperial Military University behind him were not happy about it, especially the three injured students, whose faces turned ashen with anger. One of them even said directly:
"Team Leader, we can't treat them anymore. Don't form an alliance with them. Let's leave!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two injured students immediately nodded in agreement with Shangguan Yu. The worst that could happen to them was that they would quit and have their credits deducted. Although it was very likely that they would eventually be expelled for not getting the grades, they could still repeat the year if they gritted their teeth. It was better than letting their teammates be bossed around here!
"You guys...are you going to break the contract at the last minute?!!" Bai Xue from Guang Academy couldn't help but yell.
Zhao Tang and the other students from the Light Academy stared intently at Shangguan Yu and his team, their eyes filled with rebuke. Of course, beyond rebuke, these Light Academy students were more worried. After all, they were able to force the Imperial United University team to cede territory because they had the top-ranked military university students as their ally.
As the number one imperial military university in the Mingao Empire, this ranking is not exaggerated.
In terms of faculty strength, combat prowess, student talent, and qualifications, the Imperial Military University is unbeatable. Whether in overall strength or individual student performance, the Imperial Military University consistently eclipses second-ranked Pingcheng University by several notches, not to mention Imperial United University, which only ranks 30th.
So, Mu Jiao and the others are wary of this group from the Imperial Military University, but if they leave, then the group of young masters and young ladies from Guang Academy who have little combat power and live a life of luxury will not be enough to deal with.
Mu Jiao and the others are aware of this, and the people from Guang Academy are even more aware of it.
"Team leader, they seem to be having an internal conflict." Si Xiaobai had sharp eyesight. Through the blurry transparent light shield, he saw that the people from Daoguang College were glaring at the people from the Imperial Military University. He looked down quietly and gloated at everyone.
