As a divination tool used by humans since ancient times, tarot cards have been popular in Europe since the Middle Ages, but its origin has always been a mystery, and it is still a matter of opinion to this day.

However, for the game's players, the answer to this question is clearly clear:

- Tarot cards did not originate from humans, but were entertainment tools created by "gods"!

As for how exactly this thing should be played, just look at the text at the bottom of each card:

"Grand Arcana Card NO.13 - Grim Reaper"

Positive: Death descends on an enemy city-state, randomly killing one-fifth of the population and infecting the remaining one-fifth of the population with the plague.

Reversal: Death descends on our city-state and exterminates one-fifth of our population, you can choose the specific target to destroy. The remaining inhabitants will receive a strong effect, and their vitality and morale will be increased.

"So what exactly are 'we' and 'enemy'?" Lin Chi frowned.

As if hearing his voice, he saw a tent with a red spire appear in the distance, and several hunchbacked figures walking nearby. On the other side of the crispy chicken leg burger, a blue tent appeared, and there were also several ragged figures in it.

Even though the two tents were at least 100 kilometers away from him, the distance between the two tents was a full 50 kilometers. But with the super long vision of the "Creator", Lin Chi still clearly saw the situation on the battlefield and his current "entourage":

- His tent was made of red leather, and beside him stood men and women dressed in shabby leather garments, revealing large chunks of dirty skin.

There was a small river next to the tent, and the water in it was almost evaporated. But it also ensured that these primitive people would not die of thirst. And some bushes with red fruits next to the river are the source of food for these people.

As for the tent controlled by the "Crispy Chicken Leg Burger", it is basically no different from its own except for the difference in color.

Obviously, this game should be a duel between the two bases. But......

"Can humans survive in this environment?"

Looking at the sand in the center of the two camps, and the scarlet sky overhead, Lin Chi couldn't help but admire the tenacious vitality of the human beings on this planet, in the harsh environment where the air is so thin, the human beings who can survive can be described as "real macho men".

Lin Chi was still observing the situation on the battlefield, and the red prompt text lit up in the lower right corner of his sight:

- This round is played first by "Crispy Chicken Leg Burger".

"Hehe, wait for death, you vain ......"

The blonde man was talking trash as he threw a tarot card on the table, on which was drawn a peerless beauty wearing a crown, with the name of the card written underneath and what it did:

Grand Arcana brand NO.3 - Empress.

Orthodox.

The Empress descends on your city-state, inspiring all the people, increasing the speed of your city-state by 300%, and when the Empress dies or disappears, your city-state will go into a state of panic and its development will stagnate, which lasts for 3 rounds.

While the crispy chicken leg burger played this card, a silver-haired woman wearing a golden crown suddenly appeared.

The woman, who was protected by dozens of knights in pitch-black heavy armor, slowly opened her red eyes, and the luxurious silk tulle on her body was not stained with a trace of dust. She sat upright on a throne encrusted with jewels, and raised her slender right hand behind the tent, pointing to the sand in the distance.

Witnessing the appearance of the empress, the "primitive people" near the blue camp tent suddenly began to build at a terrifying speed.

On the bare sand next to the tent, an ancient stone city rose from the ground, and the city was lit up with sporadic fires. On the site of the camp, a white palace about ten meters high was built.

In the clearing behind the city, a large waterwheel rose from the ground, diverting water from the river to the rear and irrigating a jungle. Next to the jungle, there are also several square fields cultivated by slaves.

With the development of agriculture, the population in the city, which was originally pitiful, has suddenly increased a lot.

"I'll go, is that how it works?"

On the stone pavements of the city, many ragged barbarians were dragged through the streets by robed merchants with chains around their necks. Lin Chi immediately realized that the primitive people of the Crispy Chicken Leg Fort camp had entered the slave society at a terrifying speed under the inspiration of the empress!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi also concocted the same method, and decisively took out the "Empress" from his tarot card deck, and was about to play it, but a system prompt appeared again in front of him:

When the opponent uses a card, you will not be able to use it for three turns.

"Lean ......"

Lin Chi muttered, quickly glanced at his deck, and took out a card and threw it on the table.

Grand Arcana brand NO.4 - Emperor.

Orthodox.

The presence of a steady emperor in your city-state inspires all the people, increasing the speed of your city-state by 100 percent, and when the emperor dies or disappears, a new emperor will ascend to your city-state, and the effect will last forever until your city-state is completely destroyed.

After Lin Chi played his card, a rudimentary wooden four-wheeled cart appeared behind his tent, escorted by ten silver-armored knights.

A middle-aged man with a scepter in his hand, sitting upright on a wooden vehicle, has a resolute expression on his bearded face.

As introduced on the card, the emperor's appeal is obviously not as good as the "peerless beauty" on the side of the Crispy Chicken Leg Fort, although the primitive people on Lin Chi's side are also building the city, but the scale and speed of construction are much slower than that of the Crispy Chicken Leg Fort, and the size of the city is only one-third of the other city.

"Hahaha, is that all you have to do?"

Crispy Chicken Leg Burger continued to use trash talk tactics, trying to influence Lin Chi's thoughts, while quickly looking at the tarot deck in his hand, and then drew out a card with an exaggerated movement and slammed it on the table.

NO.7 - Combat Vehicle.

Orthodox.

The warlike will affects your city-state, turning it into a high-speed chariot of terror, increasing the speed of your city-state by 50% and the growth rate of your army by 100%, which will continue until your army is defeated.

As the blonde man threw the card, several catapults were quickly assembled by the slaves in the desert behind the rapidly expanding stone city, and a high wall of rock was erected on the outside of the city, with guardrails made of sharpened branches.

With the development of the military, the woods behind the opposing city were cut down by slaves, and the cut wood was used to make weapons and armor.

"Huh, do you want to play Rush Attack?"

Seeing that the other party was still in the slave era, he had already begun to develop the army. Lin Chi raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "You will play yourself to death like this." ”

"You won't make it through five rounds!" Crispy Chicken Leg Burger looks very confident, apparently using this routine in other games: "Have you played the old game Hearthstone?" I relied on fast attack to score points back then! ”

"Are you sure you can play aggro with tarot cards?" Lin Chi teased.

As he spoke, Lin Chi set his eyes on his city, which was still slowly being built, unlike the enemy city that was developing rapidly, his side seemed to be still in the period of "collective production" of primitive people, and the scale of the city was pitifully small compared to the other party.

Even if the other party's development speed was far beyond his own, Lin Chi did not panic, but slowly drew a tarot card from the deck and threw it on the table in front of him.

The golden card depicts a towering tower on fire struck by lightning, flanked by two men falling through the air, their faces twisted and desperate.

"It's ......"

Seeing the only card that symbolized ominous foreboding among the twenty-two large arcana cards in the tarot, as well as the text introduction below, the blonde man's face suddenly became solemn.

NO.16 - The Tower.

Reversed.

The tower symbolizes sudden change, or the wrath of nature. Causes the opponent's city to suffer from fire, drought, tornado, and sandstorm for three turns.
