The first to attack was a row of chess pieces in the forefront, with a height of two meters, with a uniform shape, that is, the image of a warrior holding a shield and a double-edged sword. At the foot of each statue is attached a circular pedestal, and their advance is achieved by sliding forward from the circular pedestal.

If it is a coincidence that the design of the board and the number of pieces are the same as in chess, then even the rules of movement of the pieces are exactly the same, which is too coincidental. So there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, that's chess!

"It's just stone statues, watch me smash you!"

Locke let out a roar of rage, his anger that had nowhere to vent made him fearless, but at the same time he lost his reason and rushed towards the stone statue like a beast that had broken out of its cage.

"Then let's go too!"

After seeing his captain take the lead, the rest of the Black Hound immediately followed.

"Captain, are we going to go?"

Arebak's fighting spirit also seemed to be stimulated by the charge of the Black Hound, showing a look of eagerness.

"Prepare for battle on the spot, let's see the situation first."

Compared to this, Anjief is quite calm, after all, as the captain, he bears the fate of the entire team on his shoulders, and any wrong decision may put his team in a desperate situation, so it is undoubtedly the best choice to observe before understanding the strength of the other party. Andrjef made the same judgment, and the two berserkers, Ballykaf, and myself were also watching the fire from the other side.

Locke, who rushed to the front, quickly made the stone statues engage each other, dodging the sweeping sword blows with agility, rolling over the top of the stone statues, and smashing the heads of one of the stone statues with the meteor hammer in his hand. It's really quite smooth movements, and it deserves to be the first of the black hounds known for their agility.

Just as I was thinking about it and applauding this series of movements, the shattered head of the stone statue, the rock fragments that should have fallen to the ground were magically restored to their original state, and the stone statue continued to attack, and the movement did not seem to be affected in the slightest.

Not only the stone statue that fought against Locke, but also the other stone statues. Two Black Hound warriors shattered the chest of a stone statue, but the shards of the rock magically flew back before they could fall. Even if it is broken, it will be spliced together immediately, and those rock chess pieces can be said to be immortal, so it is simply impossible to cause damage to them, and the battle situation is really quite unfavorable.

Just as Locke crossed a pawn in the front row and landed lightly on a white square in the back, a priest-shaped stone statue in the back row quickly flew over, diagonally through all the white squares between himself and Locke, and this way of moving was Bishop!

The chess piece bishop stretched out his hands towards Locke, and a fierce pillar of fire rose from Locke's feet, and although Locke dodged in time, his left hand still suffered a certain degree of burn. A pained expression appeared on his face, and he quickly distanced himself from the bishop. But the statues didn't give him any respite, and the Pegasus Knight, who jumped in an irregular trajectory like a straight line and a diagonal line, unleashed a lightning attack on Locke. Locke, who had no time to dodge, was hit by the current of the knight, and although he did not die instantly, the muscles of his whole body were paralyzed and fell into a temporary paralysis.

The Pawn Knight swung his stone sword and aimed it at Locke's neck, apparently with the intention of leaving him in a different position.

"Bang!"

A powerful voice sounded, and the scene of the blood and flesh splashing did not appear, the chess piece knight was crushed by a member of the Black Hound who came to the rescue, and he quickly picked up his captain and quickly retreated, but was still caught up by the chariot-shaped chess pieces that galloped like lightning. The Rook raced over the Black Hound members trying to free the captain, and the wheels covered with stone knives tore the Black Hound members under the car into a pile of minced meat like a meat grinder. The young team members lost their lives in an instant before they could let out a single scream. However, his death was not in vain, as Locke was struck by a speeding chariot and dragged to the rear by two other members of the Black Hound team.

"Damn, damn!"

Locke kept hammering the ground with his barely able right hand.

The sharp pain in his body made his lips twitch, but the pain caused by the successive deaths of his companions was more than the physical pain.

The Black Hounds retreated one after another, facing the rock pieces that were approaching step by step. The faces of the expedition were clouded.

"Peter, is there any solution? What are we going to do? ”

He has reached the edge of the chessboard, and if he retreats further, he will fall into the endless abyss, and at this moment, Anjev is also starting to panic a little.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I don't have a clue."

Peter hung his head in reproach, and when he heard Peter's words, the expressions of the crowd became more solemn, and from them came messages such as "It's no longer good", "I'm going to die", "I wouldn't have come if I knew I wouldn't have come".

"It's your fault that it's like this! You selfish bastard. ”

Locke managed to get up from the ground under Annie's constant use of healing magic, glaring at Witt with bloodshot eyes and cursing viciously.

However, Witt only snorted slightly from his nose and ignored him, and with his kind of personality, he really couldn't bear it.

"Stop pointing fingers at each other, now it's time to think about how to deal with the enemy in front of you!"

Seeing that the expedition was about to fall apart, Ballycalf shouted, and indeed more important than blame was how to survive.

"Now I can only fight!"

Anjev took a deep breath.

"Actually, it's not impossible."

After observing for a long time, I spoke.

"Mr. Carter, do you have a solution?"

There was a glimmer of hope on everyone's faces.

"If my guess is correct, these stone statues have a certain pattern of movement, so as long as you find out the rules and want to avoid their attacks, it is not difficult to avoid their attacks, as long as you knock down the stone statues over there, you should be able to win, but due to the limited time, I will explain to you later, now I will try it."

With that, I took a step.

Indeed, if the statue acts according to the rules of chess, then it is only the general, and I fixed my eyes on the chess piece King in the center behind the statue. Quickly charge forward, smashing the Janissaries of the pieces in front of you, and then pay attention to the constant changes in the direction of the black and white checkerboard squares around you, trying not to linger too much on the attack trajectory of the pieces. This is a precise work that requires a high degree of judgment and agility, accurately representing the position of the entire chessboard and chess pieces in my mind, and then constantly judging the squares that can be safely moved, which is what I am good at judgment and reasoning.

After successfully dodging the attack of the Queen, I finally came to the King of Pieces. Then that's the end of it, will ...... Army! Swiftly swinging the two-handed sword in his hand, he unleashed a powerful slash from top to bottom, and the chess piece king was split in half from the middle.

At the moment when the chess piece king was split, a golden light source floated out of the chess piece's body, after which all the chess pieces stopped moving.

"What's that?"

I reached out to the golden light source, but I was not the only one who was facing the golden light source at the same time.

"Haha, it's really hard for you, it's mine!"

The owner of the voice was Witt, no, it should be said that although the person who spoke was Witt, the voice was not his original voice, but a deeper, darker, and more dangerous voice.

Before we had time to think about what was going on, Witt's hands and I touched the golden light source almost at the same time, and our entire vision turned white.

All the senses were blocked by the dazzling white for a few seconds, and then the world that appeared before us was no longer an underground mausoleum, but a white space where it was impossible to tell whether time existed, like a boundless world above the clouds.

"What the hell is going on?"

I looked around and asked myself, and not far away stood Witt, who was also puzzled.

I didn't expect a response, though, because there was no creature in the world other than me and Witt.

however

"How dare the immortal invade the place where my lord rests?"

As if the voice of the heavens came from the ethereal voice, and with the appearance of the words, countless lights gathered from all directions, forming a light source as bright as the sun between me and Witt.

Even though I don't have eyes anymore and don't have to worry about being blinded by the bright light, I can't help but put my hand in front of me. Because after witnessing this dazzling light source, my eyes actually felt a strong sting, which means that this light source is some kind of powerful divine power.

The dazzling light source gradually receded, and a human-like figure stood out of it, wearing white knight's armor engraved with golden spells, holding a huge weapon that was more like a shield than a sword. At first glance, the skin of his whole body is quite white, but if you look closely, you will see that his body is composed of light, and his eyes are two extremely dazzling small light sources, and there is no entity in the strict sense.

Three pairs of huge wings of light stretched out from behind him, such a holy posture, I am afraid that it can only be described in one word.

That is - Holy Angel!
