Chapter 69: War Without Gunpowder
(Thank you for the monthly pass of Phantom Dance Yusheng and Egoist!Thank you for your support!)
Charlotte stood in a bustling plaza filled with casks of ale, brown bread and a wide variety of delicacies, though invaluable. A group of women dressed in old-fashioned maid costumes flutter like butterflies in front of the central table, placing all kinds of food on the table.
They were not highly trained maids, but citizens hired by the royal capital temporarily, and the food was not neatly arranged, and there was no beauty in the busyness. But on this festive day, no one cares about these details, and the central square banquet is not yet fully prepared, and the citizens sing and dance, and all kinds of circuses and garden games attract people to celebrate the festival.
On the other side of the square, someone is erecting a huge dragon model, about two stories high, tied with detached rice stalks. The model is not made to life-size proportions, and can only be regarded as a juvenile dragon in terms of size. When she was in Lucerne, Charlotte had seen the silver dragon Afra about this size.
With the square as the center of the circle, people from all directions converged here, and it seemed that the people of the entire royal capital gathered in the central square. In fact, on the day of the festival, with the return of migrant workers and traders to the city, the lively Wang Du became very cold. This lasts for about five days, and then people buzz back to the city like returning bees to start the new year's work.
That's right. It's the day of the festival, and Charlotte is pretty sure it's time.
Because it was only at this time that Charlotte came to the royal capital, in order to catch all the mages of the constellation.
"Time has really been reset. ”
Charlotte subconsciously lifted her clothes, opened her pants and touched her abdomen, in the last world, his abdomen had been cut by Aven, and now there is naturally no wound and no pain.
Don't get me wrong, of course he didn't make such a faux pact in a lively square, no matter how fierce the Erosa folk style is, no matter how crazy the festival is, such a move will be regarded as a complete pervert.
It was Charlotte herself who made this move, and he was in the castle's bedroom at this time, and in the square was nothing more than Charlotte's astral body.
In the last world, Charlotte escaped from the castle without stopping after being rescued by Vivien Leigh. Escape is not an end, but a means. He knew that he could not physically escape from Fort Savoie, no matter what means he used. As long as Evan resets the plane, even if he escapes to the rest of the universe, he will have to be obediently captured by time and returned to the castle.
"So, this time the plane reset is not that I can't catch me, but that Vivien Leigh was given a ...... by the witch" Charlotte couldn't say the forbidden word. He felt that every time he said it, it seemed to attract the attention of some mysterious force in the underworld.
That's an illusion, it's just that the word 'death' is too heavy.
"She's the biggest destabilizing factor!" Charlotte clenched her fists with murderous intent.
Charlotte had no idea what had happened in the vault of Fort Savoie after he had escaped. But Elle knows everything, and when she learns the reason for the reset from Elle, Charlotte understands that there is no way back.
This is no longer just a battle of ideas between the three siblings, the witch is like an apple on a chessboard, destroying the default rules completely.
In the second and third weeks, Charlotte and Vivien Leigh defeated the weak and strong, seizing the fleeting opportunity to gain the advantage, but they were all ruined by the witch's unexpected actions.
This unruly player had to be eliminated, she was too dangerous, for any of the three siblings.
But how to deal with her? Charlotte's side is seriously lacking in top power. Whether it's Lawrence, Dema, Dinah, it takes time to come back to the rescue, and time is ...... The initiative was in Aven's hands. All he needed to do was reset the plane, and Evan could easily start everything from scratch.
And can Lawrence and Dema and Dinah win?
Charlotte pulls out the teleportation badge again, and he tries to contact Sylvia. But rightfully so, the subpoena badge did not respond.
What should I do?
In the palace at the top of Sky City, the huge and complicated chess game continued.
Sylvia and Edwin, who are missed by Charlotte, each occupy hundreds of universes, and their command includes humans, elves, dwarves, goblins, halflings, demons, celestial creatures, and other races, and the situation on the chessboard becomes more and more complicated as the game progresses.
Thousands of orders must be made in each instant, and they must control the different forces under their command to carry out a series of actions such as construction, production, development, diplomacy, scientific research, assassination, war, etc., and each action must react instantly to a series of changes in the situation on the field.
The speed of thinking is just as important as the accuracy of orders, and in addition to this, the subsequent development of the situation must be taken into account. This kind of game is often very dangerous to progress to the end, and the average mage does not reach the end of the game, because to that extent, it often means that one of the players is close to complete exhaustion.
There is no shortage of records in history of mages playing chess to the end, and the side that refused to admit defeat died of exhaustion. Therefore, although Mage Chess is not boring and can exercise people's thinking and spirit, it is not only a simple game, but also a war without gunpowder.
And in this Sky City, the Contemporary Illusion Lord and the Star Lord are fighting on this battlefield without gunpowder. For them, this is not just a simple game of competition and competition, but also the best way to prove the strength of both sides without causing turmoil in the multiverse.
"Huh?"
Sylvia gave another thirteen,000 orders in an instant, and she groaned, glancing at Edwin as she focused on the board. It's not that Edwin has a good move, in fact, at their level, all the moves are brilliant and just as ordinary. The reason why Sylvia cared was because Edwin's chess game suddenly came to a halt for a moment.
Although it was very short, so short that the unit of time could not even be detected by the vast majority of creatures in the multiverse, it was especially noticeable on this battlefield without gunpowder.
Sylvia had achieved a huge advantage in that imperceptible amount of time, which seemed to be not obvious at the moment, but in this huge chess game, any slight disadvantage would slowly widen over time, and it would have a chain reaction like dominoes.
Edwin didn't care, and a smile appeared on the lips of this gentle king who looked like a woman.
The long river of fate is covered by him, and he can naturally perceive subtle changes in the long river. In the world of Steeu, which is separated by countless worlds, there is a castle called Savoa Fort, which is not even comparable to a speck of dust compared to the vast and infinite multiverse, but there, changes are brewing that are enough to turn the multiverse upside down.
He looked at the chessboard that was gradually preempted by Sylvia, and the joy in his heart came spontaneously. He thought - even if you win this war, you will still lose on the battlefield far away. My long-cherished wish is about to come true, as long as I hold you back, I will be able to achieve the goal that has made me run over and over again for countless days and nights! The world will be completely changed, and the era that belongs to the king and belongs to me will finally come!
