Chapter 1413: Ruling from Behind the Curtain
Chu Jiaojiao wanted to usurp power, to seize control. Her maneuvers didn’t surprise the teachers and students spectating; in fact, not just Chu Jiaojiao, Ji You, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing, Lou, Lance... all the students of Lanyue Star Military Academy, except for the chosen one Liu Fufeng and the very low-key, inconspicuous Yu Song, understood their situation immediately and commenced a grand plan to seize power.
It wasn’t just Lanyue Star Military Academy; the top students from the First Army, Second Army, Third Army, and the top ten ranked students in the Alliance all attempted a coup.
However, few succeeded.
Of course, those guys from Lanyue Star Military Academy are an exception — they’re beasts, not humans. Shen Changqing relied on his White Lotus appearance and speeches to be elevated to the position of Commander, not officially the Commander but equivalent, even the true Commander Wu Jingyue could only grit their teeth.
Surrendered to it.
Yue Qiguang used crafty tactics, impersonated a beautiful girl to lure people in, and then rounded them up. Anyone who disobeyed him would be beaten into submission.
Ji You?
This guy had even more outrageous tactics. Given the fame of their camp’s commander, Gu Peiyuan, not being any weaker than other popular candidates in the First Army, a sudden coup would probably not only fail but put Ji You in a disadvantageous position. So, Ji You didn’t initially show signs of seizing power but instead cautiously mingled with the enemy to deceive them, paving the way for a coup later, ultimately seizing power effortlessly.
As for Lou?
Lou attempted a coup but misjudged the timing, seized only a third of the power, and eventually suffered a crushing defeat. Yet even as a failure, Lou was still better than the vast majority of the students by comparison.
These are not worth mentioning.
Compared to Ji You and Lou, who exhausted their minds for power, Chu Jiaojiao adopted a more straightforward approach. Before the commander of Camp 1 could utilize their commander authority to send invitations to the warriors under them, Chu Jiaojiao overstepped her bounds, sending invitation letters to the other nine squad leaders under the pretense of a "Hero Letter," inviting them to come discuss major strategies against the enemy.
