The entire venue fell into a dead silence, all eyes focused on the Intelligent Eye.

"Cadet Number Two: After this battle, combat value lost is 7,850. Remaining combat value is 12,150."

"Cadet Number Four: After this battle, combat value lost is 9,200. Remaining combat value is 10,800."

"Cadet Number Seven: After this battle, combat value lost is 6,900. Remaining combat value is 13,100."

"Cadet Number Eight: After this battle, combat value lost is 7,000. Remaining combat value is 13,000."

"Cadet Number One: After this battle, combat value lost is 18,500. Remaining combat value is…"

At this point, the Intelligent Eye paused, but it quickly continued the broadcast according to the battle report.

"Forty thousand seven hundred."

When that number was announced by the Intelligent Eye, the entire venue seemed to freeze, as if bound by an invisible force.

For Cadet Number One, Fang Zhou, a combat value of over forty thousand meant that not only were his troops unscathed in the battle, but they had actually grown stronger. The cadets began whispering amongst themselves, unable to believe the facts before them. Even the other five cadets, who had been busy plotting their next moves, were stunned by the sudden news, momentarily forgetting they were in the middle of a fierce competition. The situation was spiraling out of control.

Amid the tense and chaotic atmosphere, Instructor Lu Hu spoke in a deep voice, "Read the detailed battle report. Explain exactly why Cadet Number One's combat strength increased to over forty thousand after his army was supposedly wiped out. Also, explain how the combined combat strength of over thirty thousand from Cadets Two, Four, Seven, and Eight simply vanished."

The Intelligent Eye responded immediately and began to break down the perplexing battle report.

"The detailed battle report is as follows: In the eleventh round, Cadets Two, Four, Seven, and Eight simultaneously launched an attack on Cadet Number One, triggering a hidden command. According to our calculations, they each lost between five and ten percent of their combat strength."

Instructor Lu Hu said deeply, "Detail the hidden command."

The Intelligent Eye began its explanation. "During the setup phase of the first eight rounds, Cadet Number One's 1,400 Light Cavalry held their position and converted into regular infantry. Their combat value changed from the original 7,000 to 5,600."

"Wait a moment," Cadet Number Seven, unable to accept this seemingly illogical explanation, couldn't help but interrupt. "Light Cavalry has a combat value of five, while regular infantry only has two. Even though Light Cavalry can convert on the spot, their resulting combat value should be much lower than 5,600, right?"

However, the Intelligent Eye's voice remained calm and unperturbed. "There are no errors in the battle report. In forest terrain, the combat strength of Light Cavalry is reduced by two, changing from five to three. When the Light Cavalry convert to regular infantry, their base combat strength becomes two, but the forest terrain provides a bonus of two, resulting in a total combat value of four. Therefore, 1,400 regular infantry have a total combat strength of exactly 5,600."

Cadet Number Seven's expression changed. The Intelligent Eye's explanation left him speechless, and he could only step back and fall silent.

Upon hearing the Intelligent Eye's words, Instructor Lu Hu's eyes lit up. As early as the third round, Fang Zhou made such a decisive call. He's resolute and has great initiative.

As no one else raised any questions, the Intelligent Eye's voice continued to echo through the hall.

"After converting into regular infantry, all of Cadet Number One's forces executed the same hidden command: logging. This continued for seven rounds, stopping at the end of the tenth round."

"In the eleventh round, as Cadets Two, Four, Seven, and Eight simultaneously initiated a Charge against Cadet Number One, the tails of the mounts left behind from the infantry conversion were set on fire, causing them to stampede wildly outwards."

"According to the Executor's calculations, this conservatively inflicted losses of five to ten percent on the attacking cadets. There were no errors in this assessment."

Instructor Chen Qingshan let out an involuntary exclamation of praise. "Excellent! He utilized every available resource. Truly the makings of a great commander!"

Instructor Lu Hu also waved his hand, prompting the Intelligent Eye to continue its report on the battle's conclusion.

"Cadets Two, Four, Seven, and Eight then launched an all-out assault with over ninety percent of their remaining forces. Cadet Number One's 1,400 regular infantry used the barricade of felled trees as a bulwark to meet the enemy."

"Terrain Advantage: Combat value increased by three. Forest Terrain Lost: Combat value decreased by two."
