In this game, it is necessary to gather information before starting the action -

Looking at the translucent wide-area chessboard floating in front of him, Hiiragi first confirmed the information he had now.

"Judging from the logo and color on the side of the divine beast, we have been assigned blue, and this huge divine beast next to us is our [king]."

"That's understandable, the colors and logos indicate that, which means that we are now in the center of the back of the line, right?"

"Yes, it doesn't seem like [Virtual Chess] needs to rush to the front to charge and understand the situation."

Plame nodded, because he was in the virtual world, he didn't feel anything even when he was in the sun.

He looked up at the sun overhead and stuck out his tongue

"It's so good to grimace at the sun, if it had been before, your tongue would have been burned."

"Don't talk nonsense, judging from the chessboard in front of us, we can't see each other's movements."

"Unlike regular chess, you can't know where your opponent is, which means that preemptive action can become a stupid move."

"In that case, there is only one thing to do and act cautiously, and this ......"

Hiiragi also stretched out his finger and pointed to the triangle on the chessboard in front of him.

It is necessary to explain that this virtual chessboard is composed of an equilateral triangle in the middle and three square chessboards, and it is estimated that the trilateral battle will unfold in the equilateral triangle in the middle.

In addition, except for the triangular part of the common realm in the middle and your own chessboard, everyone else's chessboard has something like the fog of war on it.

"If you want to get an advantage, you have to attack them here."

"The grid of this equilateral triangle is very strange, it is different from the general chessboard distribution, Xiao Nan should not be careless."

Indeed, the grids in the equilateral triangle board are densely distributed.

Being dense means that there are more squares, and the possibility of closing the distance is smaller, and at the same time, there is a risk of being ambushed.

"But the first few steps are safe, we're so far away from each other anyway."

"Don't forget about Jì, Plame."

Ignoring Plame's words, Hiiragi's gaze fell on the huge divine beast beside him, and the divine beast representing the king was staring at the ground in front of him majestically.

"For these divine beasts, we think that a long distance is just a small step."

The chessboard is a range of movement for the beast pieces, and it only takes a few steps to reach the triangle.

In addition, there are also divine beasts that are [rooks], as long as they walk horizontally or vertically, their movement distance (number of steps) is unlimited.

Generally speaking, chess starts to play each other after two moves, and I'm afraid this is pretty much the same.

Judging from the distance traveled by the beast and the size of the chessboard, the terrain is just a trick.

In order to seize the advantageous position, Hiiragi also plans to take two steps first when he takes the first step.

[Since the colors of the pieces are not black and white, the chess will be played in the order of the three colors: red, yellow and blue.] 】

After Ino made a few additions, it didn't take long for Hiiragi's turn to come.

Hiiragi is also blue, and is the last one to go.,Blank siblings and Izuna they've already started the 'game'.。

"Hiiragi, do you think this game will be that simple? Is it simply turning the chess pieces into mythical beasts, adding one more player? ”

"Of course not, this game is definitely good for the orc race."

Without wasting extra time, Hiiragi also let the soldier on the far left take two steps forward.

In an instant, the ground shook, and with a monster-like roar, Hiiragi's divine beast chess pieces began to move.

In order to better confirm what happened, Hiiragi also climbed onto the back of the [King's] divine beast, because there was a lot of hair......

"Xiao Nan, you're really not afraid of death!"

Plam didn't dare to approach the divine beast in front of him, and Hiiragi only stood on his back and looked into the distance.

In the misty woods, the divine beasts commanded by Hiiragi galloped across the earth.

The trees were bulldozed, the ground cracked, and then the designated position was reached.

Judging from the position on the virtual chessboard, not far in front of the mythical beast is the equilateral triangle chessboard.

"Plumm, do you think these mythical beasts will really listen to us?"

Not only Plame, but also the divine beast under Hiiragi's feet reacted, it shook its body and slowly scattered......

“…………”

“…………”

Hiiragi also grabbed the hair of the divine beast and moved it on its back, obviously without any orders, but can it act autonomously? Even if it's within the limits of one's own promises......

"Xiao Nan!! Wait for me! ”

"Do you think I'll be able to make it stop?"

"So be it......"

Plam picked up a stone and threw it out of front of the king's beast.

"Roaring !!!"

Like a puppy catching a ball, [Wang] chased after the stone with Hiiragi.

"Wow whoa!!"

It's the first time to ride such a dangerous 'roller coaster'.

A fierce wind whistled past his ears, and after chasing the stone, King scooped it up with his mouth and placed it in front of Purme.

"Well done, Corey!"

"Who's Corey?"

Plame pointed to the king

"The name I just gave me, how is it, Xiao Nan."

"Compared to this, I think it's better to go to the front line."

"No problem."

With that, Plame threw the stone out of his hand again.

Jumping off the back of the king, Hiiragi and Plame ran towards the front line.

Hiiragi also found that his physical strength was a little higher than that of ordinary humans, which was in line with his previous conjecture - [Maintain above the minimum of using 'blood damage'].

It took a few minutes to run to the place where the No. 1 [Soldier] Divine Beast had reached in a few seconds, and Hiiragi also noticed a hazy shadow in the distance.

Hiding in the woods, the sun overhead became more and more scorching, and the mist that affected the vision gradually dissipated.

Then I saw it, not far away, there were also two figures of divine beasts.

A tiger-like mythical beast with wings, with a yellow mark on its body, it is the chess piece of the blank brother and sister.

If you want to ask Hiiragi how he knows, the reason is very simple, that is, on the other side.

The man sitting on top of the monster covered in iron-clad scales is the shrine maiden, the plenipotentiary agent of the Eastern Union, and the ambassador Izuna.

Their pieces are red, so it is known that the blank sibling is the owner of the yellow piece.

Why do they, as chess players, run to the front?

Could it be that the player's identity is not affected by in-game combat?

In this way, it is redundant to enter the game world.

Just as Hiiragi thinks the same, Plame pounces on Hiiragi and pushes him to the ground.

"Pula ......"

Hiiragi, who was about to say that just now, also heard an explosion.

The fox-eared witch let the beast under her seat attack.

Galloping from a distance, according to the rules of chess, this move will only go to a very close position, and it will not be able to attack this side.

However......

The mythical beast that stopped in the distance spat out flames from its mouth.

Intense flames burned the woods on this side, and the [Soldier] Divine Beast on Hiiragi's side roared in the flames.

Bang!

The intense burning caused the beast to fall down, dying.

Hiiragi, who raised his head and stood up, was breathing heavily, looking at the charred woods around him.

"it! This game! ”
