He underestimated Caesar's desire for victory.
Lancelot issued the order: "They don't have many men left. We have twenty-two men. Divide into three teams to patrol and search for them. End the battle as soon as possible!"
The Lionheart Society members obeyed orders and began to split into small teams to pursue the student council.
This year, due to the repeated orders from the disciplinary committee members, the scale of combat has been reduced. Only firearms and Frigga ammunition are allowed; other weapons such as grenades, grenade launchers, and mortars are prohibited.
Tactical grenades, such as smoke grenades and flashbangs, can be used.
Caesar, Pacino, and a key member of the student council have infiltrated various parts of the campus.
“There’s a saying in the Great Infant Empire: ‘In love and in battle, you must use any means necessary!’” Caesar ordered into the headset. “Let’s begin. We must turn the tide of the battle. We can’t remain passive. We must maintain a high degree of initiative and flexibility, and inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy’s forces.”
Soon, sporadic gunshots rang out again in the school; these were all small-scale battles.
In a small alley, Caesar's three-man squad ambushed several members of the Lionheart Society.
They first used flashbangs to blind them, then immediately opened fire, eliminating the enemy.
But the Lionheart were not to be trifled with; they quickly regained their footing and launched a counterattack.
The student council members fully demonstrated the spirit of guerrilla warfare, fighting when they could win and running away when they couldn't, then hiding and continuing to fight.
In summary, the instructor's guiding principle is: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.
In no time, the student council used sneak attacks and guerrilla tactics to eliminate the eight members of the Lionheart Society.
Three of them were taken down by Caesar's squad.
Meanwhile, the student council was completely unharmed.
This guerrilla warfare strategy kept Lancelot busy and for a moment he didn't know how to command.
He still wanted to find Caesar, and then capture the kingpin first to quickly end the battle.
"Don't rush, we'll also split up our forces. In terms of individual combat capabilities, our Lionheart Society members are stronger." Gu Ran's voice came through the earpiece at this moment.
“That makes sense.” Lancelot immediately adopted Gu Ran’s suggestion and also adopted a guerrilla warfare strategy with a three-person team.
The strategy is to fight guerrilla warfare against guerrilla warfare, and if you can win, you fight; if you can't win, you don't pursue relentlessly. As soon as you spot the enemy, you report their location immediately, and then concentrate your superior forces to fight them.
In the end, the battle turned into skirmishes, with student council members and Lionheart members often encountering each other unexpectedly and then fighting.
Because the student council members were too scattered and constantly on the move, even if Gu Ran rolled his eyes and found someone, reported their location and went there, by the time the Lionheart Society members arrived, the student council members had already run away.
Therefore, Gu Ran's current target is Caesar!
"Got you!"
Gu Ran spotted his target and immediately stealthily made his way to a Gothic-style teaching building.
On the second floor, Caesar seemed to hear something. Although there was no Kamaitachi, his hearing was still better than that of an average person.
"It's Gu Ran, isn't it? Your footsteps were very light; I remembered them a long time ago." Caesar sighed. "I'm very curious, how exactly did you find me? All my plans for this operation were clearly seen. Could it be that we have a spy here?"
"Guess?" Gu Ran had barely uttered the words when gunshots rang out. Student council secretary Pacino and his partner simultaneously fired at the spot where Gu Ran had just spoken.
But Gu Ran was prepared and dodged immediately, avoiding being hit.
He stealthily found a shooting angle, quickly circled to the side, and raised his hand to fire.
Two shots were fired, and Pacino and his companion fell to the ground simultaneously.
Only Caesar remained at the scene.
"I never expected to lose in this way this year. To be honest, I'm a little unwilling." Caesar held up the Dictator, seemingly inviting Gu Ran to a one-on-one duel.
"Don't tease Senior Caesar," Gu Ran looked behind Caesar, "You have someone hiding behind you, do you think I don't know?"
He had already used his white-eyed perspective to observe the people behind Caesar.
As soon as Gu Ran finished speaking, a slender figure leaped out from the shadows, followed by a burst of gunfire.
Gu Ran rolled to dodge, raised his hand to strike back, and at the same time looked for cover.
"Hey, how did you know I was here?" Nono, with her red hair, stood next to Caesar and asked Gu Ran, who was hiding in the bunker.
"Because I'm invincible in 1v1, Caesar can't beat me, so why would he challenge me to a duel in the Imperial City!" Gu Ran deliberately provoked Caesar.
Caesar's expression indeed turned somewhat unpleasant; Gu Ran's words made it sound as if he were a coward.
“Don’t fall for it. Let’s kill him first, then escape together, and slowly assassinate the Lionheart Society members. We can still achieve final victory that way. After all, a day of freedom is as long as a day!” Nono said to Caesar.
"You two are going to be a pair of doomed lovers, and you haven't even asked me if I'll give you a chance!" Gu Ran suddenly appeared from the side, and his speed was so fast that he arrived in front of Nuonuo in an instant.
Nono knew it was too late to fire, so she abandoned her gun, drew her tactical knife, and began close combat.
She has many fighting techniques, but lacks strength. Gu Ran uses his Sharingan to see through her, and then uses his taijutsu, Sakura Rush, to overpower her with sheer force.
With a "bang," Nuonuo stumbled back a few steps and leaned against the balcony to stop.
"Damn, that was so hard." Nono had just used both hands to block, and now her wrists were numb.
This was because Gu Ran held back; otherwise, she would have broken both her hands.
"Bang!" Another shot rang out from a distance, hitting Nono directly in the shoulder.
Nono turned around and glanced into the distance: "Damn, it's you again... girl, you're so mean!"
After saying that, she fell into a coma due to the effects of the anesthesia.
The one who fired the sniper shot at Nono was Susie, who was in the distance.
Last year on Freedom Day, Nono was sniped by Susie, and I never expected to be sniped by her again this year.
Caesar knew that the student council's chances of winning this year were slim, so he simply gave up on taking command.
He threw away his headset, picked up the hunting knife Dick Tudor, and prepared to fight Gu Ran.
"Come to think of it, we've never really fought each other. You're still the only opponent I take seriously besides Chu Zihang."
"So I'm quite proud of myself." Gu Ran put the gun back in its holster, then took out the catfish tail knife and gripped it in a reverse grip. "Let me spar with my senior."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Caesar pounced on him; he always preferred to take the initiative.
With the explosive power of his muscles, he moved at incredible speed; ordinary people could only see a blur.
However, under Gu Ran's Sharingan, Caesar's actions were clearly visible.
Gu Ran did not use chakra, but only used pure physical strength to fight Caesar.
Caesar's fighting style was very tough, and his moves were sharp and powerful. His muscles were strong, and when he struck, Gu Ran's hand, which he used to block with his catfish tail, trembled slightly.
Gu Ran did not retreat, but used the force-dissipating technique from the Soft Fist to deflect Caesar's power, and then engaged in close combat, forcing Caesar to stop swinging his sword in wide, sweeping motions.
In terms of moves alone, Gu Ran had no chance against Caesar.
He thought to himself that he needed to practice more swordsmanship skills.
The two exchanged another blow with their swords before separating.
"Sorry, Senior Caesar, I'm going to go all out now!" Gu Ran's duel with Caesar was just to test his recent improvement in swordsmanship.
However, in terms of raw power, Caesar was far from being a match for Gu Ran.
Gu Ran then put away the catfish tail blade and began to gather lightning-attribute chakra to strengthen his muscles.
In that instant, Caesar realized that Gu Ran's aura had changed, and then he understood that he had not used his full strength just now.
Gu Ran entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, moving at incredible speed. He used Body Flicker Technique to approach and arrived behind Caesar in an instant.
By the time Caesar realized what was happening and tried to turn around, Gu Ran had already pulled out a Glock and fired three shots into his back.
Chapter 279 Unlocking the Mangekyou Sharingan
"You...you have no martial ethics..." Caesar seemed a little confused when he lost consciousness. They had clearly agreed to hand-to-hand combat, but he actually pulled out a gun!
But what surprised him even more was Gu Ran's speed; he couldn't keep up at all.
Gu Ran thought to himself, "How can I collect your blood sample if I don't knock you out?"
Caesar's blood sample and Nono's blood sample can be collected repeatedly.
Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Ran quickly collected blood samples from Nono, Caesar, and Pacino.
In this way, today's task will be successfully completed.
On the other side, Lancelot also finished his work for the day, eliminating all the remaining members of the student council.
On the Lionheart Club's side, including Susie and Gu Ran, there are still more than ten people who haven't been eliminated.
This is a big win!
For several years in a row, the Lionheart Society was suppressed by the student council led by Caesar. Last year, Lu Mingfei emerged out of nowhere and won as a third party.
This year, however, the Lionheart Club emerged victorious!
The Lionheart members cheered as Susie, carrying a sniper rifle, descended from a high sniping position to celebrate with the members.
The disciplinary committee squad was rescued and awakened by the rescue team. As soon as Manstein woke up, he went to settle scores with the student council and the Lionheart Society.
However, no one paid any attention to him. Today was a free day, and hitting a teacher didn't violate school rules.
Moreover, the scale of the operation tonight has been well controlled. Heavy firepower such as mortars and grenade launchers were not used. As a teacher, I should be more mature now and stop here.
Guderian advised him, "Forget it, it's only once a year. This year is good. Just bear with it and it will pass..."
Manstein said speechlessly to his old patient, "Do you think you're a medieval serf? You think you can just endure it? When the Black Death comes, a single fire will burn your whole family down!"
Despite the argument and the commotion, Manstein didn't say anything more to the two groups. He angrily began to prepare a damage report and repair the damaged areas.
"Hey, you're injured, you need to get it treated!" Guderian pulled Manstein away. There was a shallow wound on the back of his hand, and it was unclear how he had gotten it.
“It’s just a minor injury,” Manstein said, glancing around. The wound seemed to have been cut by something sharp, but because it was shallow, he didn’t pay much attention to it.
The battle for freedom has come to an end, and now it's time for the celebration.
The Lionheart Club held a rare party, and all members came to participate in the festivities.
Unlike the student council, which is known for its nightly revelry, the Lionheart Society rarely holds dances or parties. They are action-oriented and spend most of their time on missions.
Lee Eun-sook also participated in the operation today, but she is not a combat-oriented person. Today, she served as a sniper, but because her sniping position was exposed too early, she was eliminated very early.
Hearing the news of her team's victory, she felt it was only natural; with Gu Ran oppa around, winning was a simple matter.
The Lionheart members began discussing at the party who should be awarded the MVP for the day.
