Kivotos Warlord Development Manual

"Our "War Research Department" is the most powerful club in Gehenna Academy! ~"

Qianjiang happily raised the glass bottle in her hand, and the spilled ice milk and splashing water caused the girls around her to scream.

However, these words with great impact made Xuefeng, who was leaning in the corner, stare blankly with her eyes wide open. The water splashed by Qianjiang slowly slid down her cheeks, as if they were hot tears full of bitterness...

Ah...hahaha...haha...

It turns out that... the good reputation I thought I had...

Is this all an illusion?

After apologizing honestly, Chi-chan turned around and saw Yukikaze's devastated state. Knowing that she didn't like unjust wars, the gray-haired girl hurried over to explain.

"Don't worry, sister. We have issued a fight notice in accordance with the rules of Gehenna Academy. We are definitely not using force to bully others!~"

Seeing this, Iroha, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter, nodded and continued what Chi-chan was saying.

"The name of the fight notice is called the Club Conflict Mediation Letter. It was a method used by the seniors in the academy to resolve conflicts within the club."

"Usually they negotiate on the controversial points. If the negotiations fail, they fight to make things right. After all, the one with the biggest fist has the final say."

"But this mediation letter almost never succeeds, and then everyone's habit becomes to fight first and then talk about it. From then on, sending a mediation letter is tantamount to sending a declaration of war."

Chapter 83 New Changes in the Opponents

"The battles recently launched by the War Research Department..."

"Ah, not including the two major battles you fought recently. After all, even Gehenna Academy rarely has the opportunity to launch such a large-scale battle..."

"Our club battles are basically to help new members to get justice. All we ask of the target club is to clarify who is right and who is wrong and then apologize to each other. This kind of reasonable behavior is considered overly polite in Gehenna Academy..."

"I also heard that recently there are a few small clubs that have been bullied by other clubs and want us to help them talk it out. If this continues, I'm afraid we will be more like the "Discipline Committee" than Sorasaki Hina's..."

As Iroha explained, Chi-chan nodded repeatedly and puffed out her thin chest with pride.

"That's right! Even the guys that the Discipline Committee couldn't handle were all beaten up by us!"

"How could they be so quiet... In the end, they all went to the "Machinery Development Department"..."

Naoko couldn't help but complain that the former leader of the problem students seemed to have a very bad impression of those troublemakers.

Then, Qianjiang angrily shrank her little face into the bath water, and when she floated out from the water, she spit a stream of water at Naoko like a dolphin.

“To be honest, I mean they no longer go to the commercial plaza outside to have BBQs! If they want to seek revenge on us, we can just beat them up.”

"It hurts..."

"Chi-chan, are you a child?! You can't drink the bath water that has been soaked in bath additives! Go rinse your mouth quickly!"

"Sister, please let go first. I know I was wrong——"

Xuefeng was furious and walked out of the bathtub with her doughy little face pulled.

"Looking at how skilled she is, she must have done this more than once. Minister, you must not be lenient!~"

Naoko, who was grinning behind him, stabbed him hard without any mercy.

……

About five minutes later.

The gray-haired girl with two red fingerprints on her cheeks returned to the bathtub aggrieved. Iroha took off the wet towel on her forehead and complained to her and Xuefeng.

"I always feel like you're treating Chiba like your daughter..."

"It's me who's taking care of my troublesome sister!"

"I want to be treated like a daughter!"

After receiving the glares from the two girls, Iroha nodded repeatedly with a subtle expression.

"Ha... that's good... um... you're all right..."

"Ahem... Stop looking at me like you look at Makoto... Let's continue discussing the 'Mechanical Development Department'. Where were we just now..."

"Ah...right!"

"Did they gather thousands of people in the refinery?"

After noticing that her minister had turned his gaze towards her again, Xiaohong raised her right hand from the light green bath water and waved it.

Then she moved to the side close to the wall and used her fingers to circle the terrain outline near the refinery on the moisture-covered wooden wall. She then circled several irregular rectangles on the south side of the refinery, and then drew two long lines around these areas.

"They hired the "Hot Spring Development Department" to build an outer position about 500 to 800 meters deep in the south and southeast directions. In some places outside, they also deployed dense dragon tooth piles and anti-tank trenches. It should be because they heard that we have armored forces."

Xiaohong's explanation made Xuefeng tilt his head in confusion and he subconsciously asked his own questions.

"Is there no club activity for the "Hot Spring Development Club" recently? Why are they developing everywhere..."

"And... didn't I already dismantle the Rabbit Pill? How did they know we have armored forces?"

After hearing Yukikaze's question full of doubt, Naoko couldn't help but smile and took over the conversation.

"Speaking of which, it happened a while ago when we were fighting Millennium Academy. The "Hot Spring Development Department" probably wanted to dig a hot spring in the festival area of ​​the academy, so they planned to blow it up while the "Discipline Committee" was guarding Trinity Academy."

"Of course the students who were setting up stalls and eating over there disagreed, so they started fighting. Then all the troublemakers were severely beaten up by Chairman Hina who came back, and finally Minister Kasumi was put in the detention room again."

"I heard that the recent conflicts have also cost the "Hot Spring Development Department" a lot of club funds, so they have no choice but to take on some projects like this to fill the club's funds."

"There are quite a few construction experts among those guys, and they can build anything as long as you pay them. They have a very good reputation among the construction merchants in Kivotos."

"Well, although I didn't expect them to be so brave, it doesn't seem like anything unexpected happened..."

However, when Xuefeng was sighing, the red-haired ball opposite her looked at her with resentment and complained.

"How dare you say that about others? I didn't expect you to dismantle Rabbit Pill..."

"Ahem, sorry, once the Millennium Academy's "Engineering Department" has finished the technological modification, it will be sent back..."

"That's a super rabbit pill equipped with a new fire control computer, all-weather monitoring sensors, missile jammers, and new composite armor!~"

After feeling the strong resentment from her companion, Xuefeng immediately put on a bitch smile and tried her best to explain to her.

First he broke someone else's Tiger Maru, and a few days later he also dismantled the new Rabbit Maru. This red-haired girl who cherishes her equipment was very considerate of her by not spitting bath water in her face like Chi-chan did.

"The electronic assistance system of Gehenna Academy is already very useful. I don't like those delicate things of Millennium Academy..."

"Let me make a deal first. If Usagimaru is damaged by someone from Millennium Academy, you are responsible for repairing it for me!"

"No problem. If the modification fails, I can weld another one for you!~"

Iroha pursed his lips and stared at her, fully demonstrating what it meant to watch with eager eyes. Upon hearing this, Xuefeng hurriedly patted his chest to make a promise, causing ripples.

The red-haired boy, who was only pretending to be angry, didn't say anything to her anymore. After taking his eyes off her, he leaned on the edge of the bathtub, raised his head slightly and continued to answer her other question.

"The armored forces they are talking about are the Crusader tanks and armored vehicles of the "Equestrian Department". Those guys are one of the richest clubs in Gehenna Academy."

"And our members also contributed a lot of armed vehicles, and there are two Marder III self-propelled anti-tank guns that were depreciated from the Pandemonium."

"At least judging from the armor and anti-armor strength, the coalition forces will not necessarily lose even if they fight a battle with the ordinary troops of Holy Trinity Academy."

Chapter 84 Who is the Imaginary Enemy?

"By the way, this is not because of your relationship with Pandemonium."

"Well... But I can't say there is no connection at all..."

"Based on the war records of Gehenna Academy in recent years, and the forecast of future war situations that you mentioned to me before, and the recent increase in funding, Pandemonium has simply launched a forward-looking testing plan for a new tactical system."

"In our vision, the armored forces of the future Gehenna Academy will be mainly based on the "E-M1" heavy tanks represented by Rabbit Maru..."

"By the way, by the way, Usagimaru's official code name in Pandemonium has been changed to Type 7 Tank."

"Well, thanks to the powerful and comprehensive performance of the Type 7 tank, the students in the tank regiment believe that the "E-M1" heavy tank is more suitable to be called a "main tank" or a "general tank."

"This also means that the large-scale application of sloped armor and composite armor will increase the penetration capability requirements of anti-armor weapons, especially in the last armored battle in the Millennium Region and Trinity Academy that was like a roll call game. Their Crusader tanks were no match for the Type 7 tanks."

"In this situation, even those guys at Trinity Academy who are too proud to care about their reputation should be able to realize that the armor of their tanks is too weak."

"So after discussion, everyone in Pandemonium came to a targeted conclusion, which is that we can relax the restrictions of the academy and try to release more armor and anti-armor weapons to other students besides Pandemonium, so as to obtain more relevant data on anti-armor combat."

"Against this backdrop, no group is more suitable for observation than the War Research Department, which has fought 27 battles in a short period of time."

After listening to Iroha's explanation, Miss Yukikaze didn't understand when he had predicted the future war situation for her. However, at a time when she had learned that the world was about to come to an end, the fact that "Pandemons" was planning to strengthen the overall armed forces of Gehenna students was good news for her.

But Iroha's statement is a bit wrong...

In this war with the "Mechanical Development Department", it is useless for the "War Research Department" to improve its anti-armor weapons...

You can't use those two 75mm anti-tank guns to attack the 60mm thick armored gate on the opposite side, right?

This cannon can certainly penetrate it, but there is no point in making a few holes in such a heavy armored door...

Thinking of this, Xuefeng looked at Iroha in confusion again.

"Does the Mechanical Development Department have any armored forces that require Marder III to counter?"

After hearing her question, a subtle smile suddenly appeared on Iroha's rosy little face, which made Xuefeng shudder subconsciously.

"Well... I remember there were no tanks at the refinery... right..."

Seeing her minister's look of disbelief, Xiaohong chuckled and nodded, then continued to explain to her.

"Yes, there were no chariots there originally."

"But Pandemonium allowed them to pull the chariots parked elsewhere to help in the battle."

“在附近值守的同伴至少观测到了4台不同样式的战车，虽然基本都些老旧的试验型号，但是其中1台装备了Pak39式75毫米坦克炮，还有1台装备了KwK36式88毫米坦克炮。”

"Huh... that's good..."

"They are just four old-model tanks. Even if their artillery is more powerful, it won't be a problem. I can dismantle them into parts as long as I spend some time. Not to mention that we have two ace gunners, Xingchan and Iroha."

Miss Xuefeng, who was relieved, gently pressed her chest, causing a wave of white light.

"Well, the other side might have some other winning cards hidden, but at least we don't need to worry about armored warfare."

Xiaohong looked towards Iroha's position with a confident expression. The two self-propelled anti-tank guns she got for the club were powerful weapons that could not be bought with money. They could be used to fight directly with the armed forces of other academies.

With these two anti-tank guns, let alone letting Xiaohong engage in a head-on firefight with the tanks of the "Mechanical Development Department", even if she were to carry a grenades and use self-destructive anti-tank tactics, there would be absolutely no problem.

But at this time, Miss Xuefeng didn't have such a good attitude...

Realizing that the battle was getting bigger and bigger, she resigned herself to her fate and slumped back, leaning against the wooden wall beside the bathtub and sighing.

"Go on, is there any other bad news..."

After hearing the question from her minister, Xiaohong did not rush to answer. Instead, she raised her hand to wipe away the water drops that had fallen from her forehead, and then tucked the scattered red hair behind her ears. She used this time to sort out the tactical intelligence in her mind.

Then she stretched out her slender index finger, which had turned somewhat pale, and drew a long and narrow canal area on the east side of the wooden board's topographic map. She then drew a few small squares on both sides of the canal, and drew a few strip-shaped schematic areas outside the squares on the east side.

"The Mechanical Development Department built two reinforced concrete fortresses about 2 meters high on the east bank of the canal. There were no anti-aircraft guns or anti-tank guns on the top, but according to the custom of Gehenna Academy, at least 15~1 mortar groups were deployed to provide fire support for the ground forces. They also built a defensive position about 2 meters deep to the east based on the fortress."

As she spoke, Xiaohong pointed a few more times at the symbol area inside the canal.

"Even after they broke through the fortress defenses, it wasn't over yet. They also deployed mines in the river. The "Fishing Department" tried to detonate two of them using modified driftwood and metal boxes. It is estimated that they were just basic models with impact fuses, not magnetic mines that would explode as soon as a ship approached."

"Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that the Mechanical Development Department will add remote sensing fuses to the mines. After all, this kind of modification is very easy for them."

"There are no new changes in the refinery terminal area on the west bank of the canal. It seems that all forces have been concentrated and deployed to the interception position on the east bank."

After hearing Xiaohong's explanation, Xuefeng rubbed his cheek and began to think.

"This is troublesome. We and the students from the "Riding Club" are on the southern battlefield. Although it is a bit troublesome to break through the position, it should not be a problem. However, Xing-chan and the others on the eastern battlefield are not only short of manpower, but also have no heavy weapons to cover them in launching an offensive..."

"Yes, I have discussed this with Chi-chan. When the time comes, Naoko and I will bring two elite combat teams and a Marder III to help the "Fishing Club". This way, the eastern battlefield should be no problem."

Xiaohong, with one hand pressing against the wooden wall, nodded at Naoko. The small water droplets on her shoulders slid down onto the large water droplets in front of her, reflecting a dazzling light under the light.

Xuefeng subconsciously hugged his shoulders, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked his question.

"Giving Marder III to Xing-chan is indeed very suitable, given her artillery skills, but how many people do we have now?"

"There are four squadrons of troops that can participate in the battle. According to Gehenna's custom, each squadron has 4 people. Each squadron has three teams. Including the medical team and the artillery support team that is being planned, we currently have a total of 10 people."

This confident explanation immediately made Xuefeng look surprised.

"Have we already recruited so many students? In that case, the "War Research Club" is already a large club, right?"
