Chapter 41. Arrive with the Martial Battle Banner

The city of Kareda is located in the northernmost part of the Duchy of St. Joyce, and after the north gate of the city of Kareda is a huge canyon 136 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. What's even more peculiar is that if you stand on the walls of Kareda City and watch the sunset, you will visually create the illusion that the sun is slowly falling into the Grand Canyon! That's why the canyon was named the Grand Sunset Canyon!

The city of Kareda was built right at the exit of one end of the Sunset Canyon and was originally built to defend the exit of the Sunset Canyon against the powerful neighboring Brenda Empire. Therefore, in the early days of the city's construction, the city was built according to the scale of the fortress, and most of the houses in the city were military barracks or equipment factories and other buildings that served the war effort.

The Brenda Empire echoed the idea of the Duchy of St. Joyce, and they also built a huge fortress at the exit at the other end of the Grand Canyon of the Sunset. After the two huge cities on both sides were built, a huge problem was in front of the two countries! That is, which country does the territorial ownership of the Sunset Grand Canyon belong to? If the Sunset Grand Canyon is a barren land, it would be a pity, but unfortunately, this Grand Canyon may be due to special lighting reasons, resulting in particularly rich products. There are even adventurers who have found the incomparably precious Burning Sun Fruit in it! This S-rank material is said to only exist in the lair of adult fire dragons, and it is said that the affinity of humans who take the Burning Sun Fruit to the fire element will be greatly improved, which is reflected in the actual combat that the casting consumption of his fire spells is greatly reduced, and the power is greatly increased, and even the ability to cast spells beyond the rank!

Of course, in addition to the S-rank Flame Sun Fruit, there are also a variety of A-rank and countless B-rank and below materials in the Sunset Grand Canyon. With such a large piece of treasure land, can the two empires be ceded to their opponents in vain? Of course not! However, the terrain of the Sunset Grand Canyon is intricate, and there are countless ferocious magical beasts in it, so no country's army can easily pass through the Sunset Grand Canyon, let alone conquer it.

In this way, the two countries have made the same decision again! While sending troops to garrison the city at the exit of the Sunset Grand Canyon, they constantly sent adventure teams into the Sunset Grand Canyon to hunt for treasures. In this way, the soldiers of the two hostile countries continue to fight in this sunset Grand Canyon, and over the years, a huge tug-of-war battlefield has been formed here! Every year, countless young people or impoverished mercenary groups from both countries join the Sunset Grand Canyon, resulting in a deformed prosperity for the two cities built at either end of the Grand Canyon

At half past eight in the evening of the New World, a team of thousands of people entered the city from the south gate of Karuida City, which was the player troops of the Blood God Guild and Wan Yi and his party who had arrived from Kazik City.

After arriving at Kareda City, Wan Yi was about to part ways with them, the city lord's mansion he was going to was in the center of Kareda City, and Yiye Guzhou and them, as mercenaries who accepted the mission, had to go to the barracks at the north gate of Kareda City to report, and everyone was separated at the south gate. After Wan Yi showed his mage badge to a guard, he received the guard's respectful salute and honorific title, and twenty minutes later, Wan Yi was led by him to the City Lord's Mansion in Kareda City.

Wan Yi gave the guard a silver coin to lead the way, and then accompanied by the gate guard of the City Lord's Mansion, he met the City Lord of Kareda who was playing chess and his opponent, a middle-aged woman about forty years old, and judging from her dress and temperament, she should also be a magician.

The guards of the Kharida City Lord's Mansion left directly after bringing Wan Yi to the City Lord, and with the abilities of both of them, they could also feel that Wan Yi was an official magician, so they smiled and nodded at Wan Yi's arrival, and then continued to devote themselves to the battle of the chess game.

Wan Yi Yehao didn't care about the attitude of the two, sat down on the side by himself, and then quietly became a chess watcher. The chess in the New World game is called "Martial Chess", and there are a total of 20 different types of chess pieces in the Martial War Banner, representing 20 different professions, such as "Warrior", "Fist", "Archer", "Fire Elemental Mage" and so on. Then each class has its own way of moving and attacking, as well as death judgment, for example, the attribute of the chess piece "shield bearer" is to move one square per turn, and the attack distance is also one square, and the death judgment is to be killed if it is within the attack range of three chess pieces other than the archer at the same time, and the attribute of the "archer" is to move two squares in one round, and the attack distance is four squares, and the death judgment is to be killed if it is within the attack range of any two chess pieces.

The chessboard of martial arts chess is also varied, and there are all kinds of terrain. The rule is that both sides first select the agreed number of pieces from the twenty classes, and of course the pieces of the same class can be selected up to three times. At the beginning of the game, both sides will get a base camp on the chessboard, and each turn can place a chess piece in their hands in the form of dark chess to "birth", and the chess player can control the chess pieces in their own turn to move and attack once in a round, and the chess pieces of both sides will turn over to the bright side when they are four squares away, which means "discovered". The one who attacks the enemy's base camp three times in a single game wins!

This martial arts game is an extreme test of the player's mental power. First, there are more than 20 classes that can be used together. Second, the death verdict is achieved by relying on the "combined attack" of multiple chess pieces. Third, the terrain of each board is different, and how to use the terrain to win is a great test of the player's overall view.

When Wan Yi arrived, the situation was at the height of the battle. There are not many chess pieces left in the hands of the two that have not yet entered the battlefield, and nearly forty chess pieces have been placed on the chessboard, which means that both sides must consider the action plan of twenty chess pieces with different attributes in each of their own turns, and even think about the opponent's thinking. The most difficult thing is to guess what kind of profession the opponent's dark chess pieces are out of sight!

If the game of martial arts chess is put into reality, except for those top Go masters who can barely get started, everyone else is estimated to be able to control the chess pieces to rush forward without brains

Although Wan Yi had read and learned how to play martial arts chess in various books, this was the first time he had seen a formal martial arts chess game. After more than a dozen rounds, Wan Yi has completely understood the situation of this game and the thinking of the two chess players!

Seeing that the situation on the old city lord's side was gradually becoming unstable, he could only choose to control his chess pieces and retreat step by step. And the more advantageous the middle-aged female mage, the more steady and steady she became, slowly eating away at the opponent's strength step by step. The current situation is very unfavorable to the old city lord, and Wan Yi noticed that there are still two chess pieces in the old city lord's hand that are firmly pinched in his hand! There is no intention of sending them to the battlefield to support!

Just when the enemy was killed in front of his base camp, the old city lord put a chess piece into the base camp. This is a "light cavalry" with high mobility that moves four blocks in one turn. As soon as this "light cavalry" entered the battlefield, it cooperated with other classes to kill the "shield bearer" at the front of the female mage. After losing the shield bearer's defense, the female mage's attack was suddenly eased, and then in the next round, the old city lord let another "fire mage" join the battlefield, the fire mage's attack range is only two blocks, but he can damage enemies within a 2X2 range at the same time!

With the addition of this fire method, the old city lord sounded the horn of counterattack. In desperation, the female mage chose to fight with the old city lord, but the old city lord had firmly occupied the favorable terrain on the chessboard when he retreated.

The female mage's chess pieces were quickly killed in the face of adversity, and after a few rounds, the middle-aged female mage chose to admit defeat, admiring: "Leonard City Lord is so profound, I admit defeat." ”

Lord Leonard smiled: "Mage Helen is polite, if the mage can be a little more steady when attacking, then it will definitely be me who loses." ”

Wan Yi said on the side: "I have a question, why did the city lord still refuse to let the chess pieces in his hand enter and solve the siege in such adversity just now?"

The old city lord smiled heartily: "This is a truth that my years of military career have taught me, that is, no matter what kind of predicament you encounter, you must hold a hole card in your hand!" That's how you can complete the Jedi Counterattack! ”

Wan Yi listened and thanked him: "I have been taught." After speaking, he took out his letter of recommendation and handed it to the old and strong city lord.

Leonard City Lord immediately opened the envelope and read it, and when he read the contents of the letter, he was overjoyed and said, "Your Excellency turned out to be the famous Master of Knowledge!" I was snubbing the mage just now! As he spoke, he stood up and saluted.

Wan Yi hurriedly stopped him: "City Lord, you don't have to be polite, just let me see such a wonderful game between you and Master Helen, I'm too late to be happy, why don't you slack off!" "Wan Yi is now used to being "famous" by NPCs.

After Leonard City Lord sat down again, Wan Yi said again: "To tell you the truth, I was entrusted by the City Lord Ted Joyce to come here this time to earn the merit of entering the Magic Tower of St. Joyce next time, and I also ask the City Lord to tell me about the battle situation in this Kareda City and what I can do to help!" ”
