What is obsession?

Some people are obsessed with good and evil, some people are obsessed with right and wrong, and some people are obsessed with love and hate.

And there are some people who are obsessed with life and death.

During the flood period, Wei Jiu had heard of the chess of life and death, which was a relic of the gods at the beginning of chaos, a legendary thing, and naturally no one would really see it.

It is said that the real chess of life and death contains the power of the law, and each flag is a real material composition, which may be a person, a thing, a country, or even a species. Once the chess pieces are broken, it means that this substance will be wiped out immediately, and there is no chance of reincarnation. And the winner can decide which broken pieces to recover, or they can use the power of the law to freeze which destructive forces will be eternal.

Of course, the relics of the gods rarely appear in the flood wilderness, and for Ling Jie in the present world, it is even more unheard of.

However, when Ling Jie stood in front of the life-and-death chess, she understood the general rules, the chess game was still a general shogi mode, and the chess player would seal part of his memory, and at the same time turn into a general in the chessboard. Different from ordinary chess games, on the chessboard, all the pieces will represent a person, and the broken pieces represent the death of that person.

Although the chess viewer knows that this is a fantasy, the chess player cannot, just like the Feng Xinqin trial, the challenger will seal and change his memory, and in the face of such a setting imposed on himself, he cannot judge the truth and the false.

Fortunately, there is a humanized rule in the game of life and death, within a hundred moves, the Ancient Divine Tree cannot win, even if the challenger wins.

Although Ling Jie is not a shogi master, she is also a beautiful girl, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, according to the regular competition system, it is naturally not a problem to take a hundred or so moves. But this chess game is weird after all, every piece is an important part of one's life, and there will be great psychological obstacles in abandoning children, giving up children and arranging traps, etc., which will inevitably cause great pressure on the mentality of chess players, and naturally cannot be taken lightly.

The chess game slowly unfolded, Ling Jie's consciousness fell into a white glow, and when she woke up again, she was already on a gorgeous throne, holding a heavy and sharp iron sword in her hand.

Chess is like life, and there are no regrets.

Eight bold characters appeared in the void, but the flames of war in the distance had already been ignited. The rules of the game are that the kings of both sides personally take command of the battle, lead fifteen of the best subordinates, fight within the specified range, and if the commander dies, it will be defeated.

It seems that the rules are equally fair to both parties, but in reality they are not. In fact, Ling Jie's subordinates had suffered heavy losses in the battle just now, and the generals' talents were lost one after another, and those who could make her name count them with both hands. Looking at each other again, it is menacing, and the momentum of both sides alone cannot be compared with it at all.

On the platform, every soldier who was called by name looked magnificent, although they knew that this battle would be a life of death, but they were still excited about their decision in their hearts.

This is a war to defend their homeland, small in scale, but significant in significance, everyone knows the danger, but in order to prevent the invaders from ravaging their homeland, they can only use their own bodies to build an impregnable wall for those citizens behind them.

"Well, there are already fourteen people, and now there is still one left, warriors, remember that you are the embodiment of bravery and greatness, we need someone who is willing to sacrifice, we need such sacrifices to protect our country and relatives.... Has anyone volunteered to participate in this war to protect their homeland?" Ling Jie also had no choice but to give an impromptu speech in front of the station.

It's a tough war, and the odds of winning are clear to everyone. Even if she gathered the last strength of this country, she couldn't get together fifteen people who could fight, but this situation was chilling to Ling Jie.

"I... Can you let me try it?" and at this moment, a young man in his twenties suddenly introduced himself, and was greeted by a whisper all around.

Yes, he is too young, and he is destined to not have enough experience and strength to be recognized by everyone when he is young. Ling Jie understands this truth in her heart, but when the arrow is on the bow, there is no better choice, isn't it?

"Okay, it's up to you, I hope you wait to behave well and use the sword in your hand to protect this land!" Ling Jie said encouragingly, and she could only pray secretly in her heart, hoping that this young man would not wait for a newborn calf not to be afraid of tigers, and to give his life in vain. As soon as the conversation changed, I heard her ask again, "You actually took the initiative to ask Ying, so it's up to you to choose your own identity!"

Identity is naturally the most important factor in this war, and a reasonable identity arrangement will directly affect the final battle situation.

"Let me be your pawn, and I hope I will be the sharpest spear in your hand!" said the young man, as if laughing at himself.

"Pawn? Are you sure?" Ling Jie was stunned, everyone knew that pawns were like cannon fodder, and their biggest use on the battlefield was to be bait, and the death rate was forty percent higher than that of other identities, "Well, since that's the case, then it's up to you!" I hope your bravery and fearlessness can bring us good luck!"

Saying this, Ling Jie was no longer entangled, after all, it was most suitable to let the young man in front of her be a pawn, at least although this identity was dangerous, it would not directly affect the occupation. After all, the rest of the identities have a certain degree of difficulty, and they all play a pivotal role on the battlefield, and she already has a suitable candidate in her heart.

"Artillery—Shadow, Decision!"

"Personal guards - Jin Hui, Xiao Jin!"

"Crossbowman - Mo Xiaoqian, Yiliu"

"Xiao Cavalry Guard - Zhang Wei"

“.........”

Boom, the sound of gunpowder smoke in the air brought up layers of smoke and soil, which was the sound of cannonballs exploding. Ling Jie knew very well in her heart that the aggressor on the opposite side had already begun to act.

"Xiao cavalry guard, attack quickly, artillery prepare!" I saw Ling Jie's expression calm, her sword unsheathed, and quickly gave an order, she was the king of this country, and she had already experienced a hundred battles, and such a scene was far from being able to make her lose her cool.

It's just that......

The battle with the invaders has been going on for nearly two days, and both sides have lost tens of thousands of troops, which is the entire strength of their two countries. However, the war is far from over, and a seemingly fair, but in fact more brutal game has been chosen to decide the victory or defeat of this war.

Even if she has been a queen for many years, she is just a girl, and the pressure she is under can be imagined.

Soon, the personnel of the two sides fought together chaotically, and everyone was wantonly killing and dodging in the way they were best at, and at this time, Ling Jie's superb command skills were highlighted.

"Che nine flat five, withdraw!"

"Cannon two into four, beheading!"

"Horse eight into seven, back to defense!"

“.......”

On the battlefield, the commander is the factor that decides to occupy eight or nine out of ten, and Ling Jie, who has experienced a hundred battles, is naturally extraordinary, and the amount of calculation in her brain is beyond ordinary people, deducing dozens of situations every second, and then selecting the best plan to execute.

"Boom!"

There was no sound of a soldier falling on the other side, every step Ling Jie took was purposeful and extremely aggressive, basically destroying one of the other generals' every five steps.

But the other side is also incomparably powerful, and while no one falls, he can always take Ling Jie's side away. All in all, the losses on both sides are half a catty, and it may be because of the gap in individual combat ability, although Ling Jie took the initiative to attack five times, but the opposite side still has the upper hand steadily.

A sense of panic surged into her heart, she was not afraid of death, but she could not lose this battle, and once she lost, all the people of her family and country behind her would suffer.

"Hey, why do you want to be a pawn? You must know that this identity is completely the same as cannon fodder, and there will not be much achievement at all!" Ling Jie squinted her eyes at the young man diagonally opposite, and asked softly, asking some other topics when she was nervous was often the key to distracting attention and relieving tension, but the afterglow of her eyes never left the front of the battlefield.

The young man also squinted his eyes, but his unstoppable blazing eyes swept every corner of the battlefield, and before he knew it, the young man's clothes were swept up by the green wind, his hair suddenly drooped, and his long black hair fluttered in the wind.

His hands were suddenly behind his back, and the ordinary iron sword was plunged straight into the ground in front of him, and he said word by word, "Life is like chess, I want to be a pawn!"

Life is like chess, I am willing to be a pawn? What are these words? Ling Jie felt strange in her heart, and was about to ask, but at this moment, a scene that broke his heart appeared.

"Jinhui, be careful!"

Her personal guard, who was also the little sister she grew up with, died in front of her like this. That was the most powerful existence in this country, and it was killed by the other party's artillery fire!

There was no time to be sentimental and kill the artillery who killed Jinhui to the ground, Ling Jie hurriedly reminded again, "Yiliu, pay attention to the left!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The crossbowman Hua Yiliu and the artillery shadow were cut off the horse by the opponent's cavalry guards one after another, and the people who came acted very fast, after killing the two generals, Hua Yiliu didn't have time to fight back, he had already withdrawn and fled.

The battle situation also presented a one-sided scene. The losses of Ling Jie's side gradually became bigger and bigger, and it seemed that there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the battlefield. Ling Jie gradually understood in her heart that it was really the general trend, and such a struggle was actually just a useless struggle in exchange for more injuries.

Suddenly, in the corner of his eyes, a figure moved, it was the young man who had recommended himself, and without his permission, he actually stepped forward.

"You... What are you doing? Come back to me, you can only die in vain in the past!!" Shocked in the bottom of her heart, Shu Jinhui hurriedly stopped her, but this young man was innocent, and she was unwilling to let him sacrifice in vain!

"Life is like chess, I want to be a pawn.

Slow to act, never retreat!"

Firm words spit out from the young man's mouth, and his tone made Ling Jie's heart tremble, only to see him suddenly look back and look at Ling Jie, but the pace under his feet did not stop a step.

The wind blew the young man's hair, and under the long floating hair was a handsome face, his expression was extremely indifferent, and his sharp eyes were staring at the front. Just a glance, the star-deep eyes in the young man's eyes actually attracted Ling Jie's gaze deeply, and from this moment on, she was no longer willing to move away.

With his hand raised, his slender fingers held the iron sword tightly, and he only heard the young man say sincerely, "Win or lose, I only hope that my king can remember my name, my name is Wei Jiu! For the sake of our country and the queen, kill !!."
