106 Life and Death Chessboard (1)

"It's moving, it's moving!"

In the military headquarters, there was a voice of joy and nervousness, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen.

In the picture, the castle chariots that had been firmly guarding the sides of the bone altar like horns, and the monster legions under their command, finally moved.

What was originally a heavy turret like two hills has been transformed into a modern heavy-armored chariot, full of huge bone spurs with long bones, and the tracks of bone plates rubbing against the ground with a steel-armored clicking sound.

They rushed to the front line!

The battle with the Necromantic Legion had been nearly three hours now, and the two Necromantic Bishops and the two Necromantic Knights had entered the battle one after another.

However, under the stubborn defense of the military not giving an inch, the two sides have been in a state of stalemate. Although the Necronomicon is more adept at using its strength, the military has a numerical advantage, with soldiers rotating to fight. Coupled with modern military concepts and various advanced reconnaissance methods, the military has grown rapidly in battle, withstanding the advance of the Necromantic Legion to the bottom line with a very small number of casualties!

But the military is well aware that this stalemate is just an illusion.

Because the power of the Necromantic Legion is increasing over time! Forty minutes after the start of the battle, every three minutes, there will be a necromantic pawn with a numerical number printed on the armor, and then the strength of all the necromantic pawns will increase a little bit as a whole.

Although each improvement is not much, every three minutes, a new numbered soldier appears, and the overall strength is improved a little.

This speed of raising once in three minutes is much higher than the speed at which the fighters farm monsters to upgrade and become stronger, and it is only a matter of time before the bottom line is lost!

And the number of the first numbered soldier is - 2018! Then came 2017, 2016, 2015...... 1975、1974……

According to the military's calculations, when the soldier numbered around 1900 appears, the overall strength of the necromantic soldier will break through the limit of ordinary monsters and step into the elite level!

But there is no need to worry about this, because the military will not survive that moment.

If the Castle Chariot is not in battle, the limit of the military's defense is four special captains, and the strength of the Necro Soldier is lower than that of 1950.

If the two-headed castle chariot also participates in the battle, then at most it can only resist until about 1965, which is the limit!

Knowing that they would lose for a long time, the military had nothing to do, because the two castle chariots in the rear never moved.

I have done a test before, and I deliberately missed a necromantic soldier to the bottom line, and the result is very terrifying.

That necromantic pawn has really become an elite-level [Necromantic Knight]! Fortunately, the military had been prepared for a long time and set it on fire and killed it instantly.

But this test proves that the "bottom line upswing" really exists!

Then, the rules for the castling of the king car should also exist!

As long as the two castle chariots do not move for a moment, the Necro King has the opportunity to transpose at any time and teleport to the monster pile of either castle chariot.

In this case, the military did not dare to launch an attack on the Necromantic King at all, so they could only endure it and grit their teeth and endure it!

Finally, once the castle chariot starts to move, it can no longer be castled!

"Professor, are you sure that the castling of the king car has failed?" Political Commissar Zhang asked in a deep voice.

The professor nodded hurriedly: "If the opponent is acting according to the rules of chess, then the castling of the king rook will definitely not be used anymore, you can rest assured." ”

"Very good, assault troops...... Wait a minute. Political Commissar Zhang suddenly thought of something.

What if that happens? The Necro Pawn rushes to the bottom line, transforms into a Castle Chariot, and then casts the King Chariot before the new chariot moves......"

"Chief, don't worry. We have considered this situation for a long time, and we have also consulted the rules, asked the chess players, and even found some chess game programs to test, which is completely unworkable. Because in the rules, it has been expressly forbidden. The professor laughed.

"That's fine." Political Commissar Zhang nodded, and once again ordered: "The assault force is dispatched, and the king-hunting operation begins!" Front-line fighters prepare to retreat! ”

King Hunter, this is a blow that the military has endured for a long time and will kill!

After several hours of observation, it has been determined that the Necromantic King is a commander-type lord who is weak in combat and relies entirely on the arch of the Necromantic Legion.

And on this black-and-white chessboard, following the rules of chess, to achieve victory, you don't need to destroy all the necromantic legions, you only need to kill the king.

When the two castle chariots rushed to the front line with a large group of monsters under their command, only a necromantic king with almost zero mobility remained, alone on the bone altar.

The strongest special regiment of the Haicheng military, as well as all the members of the Tiger squad except Meng Xiaohu, the assault force composed of the two strongest combat forces of the military was finally launched.

Their mission is to kill the Spirit King at all costs!

Now that the king has been besieged, the front line no longer needs to be defended, and it is completely possible to retreat, so that the other side does not know whether to pursue or return to help, and is in a dilemma.

Almost at the same time, Sister Tiger recorded her conversation with Bai Qi intact and transmitted it to the command headquarters to be heard by everyone.

After 1972, the world was different...... What does that mean?

"Check, immediately investigate what happened in 1972 that changed the world, and search with divergent thinking, and don't let go of any details!" Political Commissar Zhang immediately ordered.

What happened in 1972? That's too much to talk about, you can't finish it in a day or a night!

In this year, China successfully detonated a hydrogen bomb, the Watergate scandal broke out in the United States, the Munich tragedy in Germany, and the Apollo moon landing program officially ended...... This is normal thinking, big road news.

Then, at the request of the political commissar, the staff officers began to diverge their thinking and dig up all kinds of information that was not very appropriate.

The female corpse of the Mawangdui tomb was unearthed, Marshal Chen Yi died, no one won the Nobel Peace Prize, and "The Godfather" won an Oscar...... There is a mountain of information.

"Smack!"

Political Commissar Zhang angrily threw a stack of materials on the face of a young staff officer, breathing heavily, and his old face turned white.

"What kind of bullshit are you, huh?! N**A superstar O'Neill was born...... That's it. The following article: In 1972, Ai Iijima and Mai Asakura in [Heisei Sanhime] were born, which opened the prelude to the era of love dance? Is this a world-changing event? ”

The staff officer said with an aggrieved face: "Chief, isn't this at the request of your divergent thinking...... By the way, you also know Heisei Sanhime-"

"Get out, get out, go!" Political Commissar Zhang was annoyed and angry, and he wanted to slap him in the face.

The staff officer slipped away......

"Commissar, I think we're going in the wrong direction." The professor was calmer, and he thought for a moment and said, "According to what I have been observing, Bai Qi is not the kind of person who will go around the bend with us. In the past, we thought about his words too complicated, but as a result, we couldn't grasp the point, but this time we should change our thinking and think in the simplest direction. ”

"Since this time it's chess, let's just search for chess-related events in 1972!"

"You're right!" Political Commissar Zhang's eyes lit up, and he ordered again.

Soon, the results of the various chess tournaments in 1972 came out...... But what's the point of these? Looking at the long list, the professor and his analysts were speechless.

Suddenly, one of the staff officers searching for information looked at a text on the screen, frowned, and began to think deeply.

Then, like crazy, he called up the real-time monitoring chart of the actions of all the important targets near the chessboard and looked at them one by one.

Assault Team, Necromantic King, Meng Xiaohu, Bai Qi, Necromantic Empress...... He was shaken and woke up like a dream!

This staff officer frantically rushed to the command platform, saluted, and reported loudly: "Chief, I have made an important discovery!" It is recommended to stop Operation King Hunt immediately and let all the assault teams withdraw to the front line positions to assist in the defense! ”

"Reason!" Political Commissar Zhang said coldly.

The staff officer replied quickly: "The Necromantic King will not stay on the altar at all, his goal is to descend to the front line through the transposition of the royal chariot and personally command the Necromantic Legion to fight!" ”

"Nonsense!" The professor blew his beard: "In the castling of the king's rook, the king and the corresponding rook must not have moved in any way and be on the same row (i.e., the rook that has been brought through the ascension of the pawn cannot be used to carry out the "castling of the king's rook"). This is written in plain terms on the rules, and there can be no mistake! ”

"But this rule was only added by FIDE in 1972!" The staff officer replied loudly.

Everyone's heads shook with a bang.

The staff officer pressed a few times on the screen, called up two pictures, and hurriedly explained.

"The numbers on those numbered soldiers not only represent the improvement of the overall strength, but also represent the version of the rules that the chessboard abides by! Bai Qi is not telling us to pay attention to what happened after 1972, but to tell us that when the soldier number 1972 appears, the rules of the chessboard will change, and the Necro King can be transposed by the castle chariot that the soldier has transformed! ”

"As for the purpose of the king's this, you look at this satellite surveillance image. This is the direction of action of the Necronomicon Queen, who is trying to break free from Bai Qi's entanglement and return to the chessboard. And the direction in which it breaks through is the front line! ”

"The plan of these two lords is to converge on the front line and give us a fatal blow!"

Rumble! Another blow to everyone's hearts. The staff officer's words were reasonable, logical, and almost certainly correct.

Now that we know the truth, how do we deal with it?

Looking at the screen, the soldier numbered 1968 appeared on the front line, and everyone felt powerless and speechless.

retreated, the Necromantic King transposed the king chariot and descended to the front line, and all the soldiers were upgraded to elite monsters;

Without withdrawal, it was less than ten minutes from the military tolerance limit of number 1965......

As Bai Qi said, what's the use of letting them know?

"Where are the Necronomic Queen and Bai Qi now?" Political Commissar Zhang took a deep breath, bitter in his heart, did he still have to rely on that guy's strength in the end?

The staff officer in charge of monitoring the empress stood up with a strange face: "Report to the chief." They were less than three thousand meters away from the front line, and the queen was chasing down a large number of survivors and trialists who had escaped from the Blood Cross base. As for Bai Qi...... I don't know how to say it, it's a little weird anyway-"

"Report!" Before he could finish, another staff officer interrupted him.

This staff officer's expression was extremely excited, even angry, and angry, which was very strange.

"Report to the chief, the living dead in the rear have begun to riot, they have entered the thirty-kilometer warning range, and they will reach the front-line logistics base in an hour!" He said angrily: "Commander Shen, he actually ...... Ordered the mortally wounded and mutilated soldiers who were being treated in the field hospital to stop the advance of the living dead!
