Chapter 72—Halloween Chess Game (31)

Walking two squares along the red sign, Igarashi stopped on the other side of the Kai River. His gaze shot straight ahead, locking on to the black knight directly in front of him.

It was a chess piece riding on a tall war horse like a pitch-black bronze statue, with a whole body in a European crusader-style heavy cavalry armor, and a European-style halberd held in its right hand, motionless like a statue.

But after receiving an order from no one and by whom, the statue immediately came to life.

"Boom!" the horse roared, shaking its mane as it scraped the ground with its front hooves. The knight on the horse also lowered his upper body and prostrated himself on the horse's back, raised his halberd in his right hand, and aimed the tip of the spear that shimmered with cold light at Igarashi Suke.

Seeing this, Igarashi suke also took a parry posture. Lunge to the waist, lean forward with the upper body, open your left hand slightly forward to maintain balance, and pull the slender katana upside down with your right hand pointing outward.

The black knight, who was immediately ordered to attack, was the first to break the standoff. The horse's leg muscles contracted suddenly, transmitting power along the long legs to the ground in an instant, and its tall body slammed out.

Between the four hooves flying, the speed of the black knight is getting faster and faster. Igarashi Suke, who was facing it, also poured power into his legs, but this was not the time to burst out of this power.

The distance between the two was rapidly shortening, and the black knight rushed in front of Igarashi in an instant. It straightened its bent arm and stabbed its halberd hard at its target.

There was a crisp sound of the bell, and the tip of the halberd was hollowed into the ground. Immediately, the black knight immediately pulled the reins and strangled the war horse.

Such a sudden braking made the horse raise its front hooves, and the rider sitting on the horse's back naturally looked up to the sky, and suddenly found the disappeared figure.

Igarashi quickly fell from the sky and shook his katana at the same time.

"Combo, 'Praying Mantis Four Claws'. ”

As the cold voice sounded, the long knife quickly slashed four times in an upside-down state, and the knives were all slashed on the head of the war horse.

So, while Igarashisuke's figure landed smoothly, the war horse under the black knight's crotch was also shattered into light chips.

Sitting down and suddenly empty, the rider's body naturally fell to the ground, but in the process, it swung its left fist and thundered Igarashi Suke.

"Bang!"

Although he crossed his arms in time to parry, Igarashi Suke was still knocked out and slammed into the invisible wall with his back. Under the impact, his gaze left the black knight for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw the other party abandon the halberd and slash at him with both hands swinging his sword.

Seeing this, Igarashi immediately raised the katana in his right hand to meet him. When the two blades intersected, he also hooked his wrist with the momentum of the other party, so that the back of the long knife was close to the underside of his forearm.

As a result, the Black Knight's double-edged sword slid down the blade of the katana, slashing and falling to the ground.

"Skewed!" Seeing this scene, Hinata Nain exclaimed. She always thought that this difficult skill could only be used by Li Mengxi at will, but she didn't expect to find the second one at this time.

"No! almost!" Li Mengxi blurted out with a regretful expression on the side.

Although Igarashi succeeded in changing the Black Knight's sword path, it wasn't a skew, it was just a play on the game's extremely realistic physics reproduction engine. True Skew can completely avoid damage once it is used, but Igarashi Suke still took some damage at this time.

In this regard, Igarashi suke himself also has a clear understanding. So, I couldn't help but think of the night on the Argo, when Li Mengxi easily deflected the giant Sea King fork of the Mermaid Queen.

Sure enough, I can't do the same as the general.

Feeling in his heart, Igarashi suke dispelled the flash in his heart. Now is not the time to wrestle with a skill or not.

After unslashing the Black Knight's sword, he immediately stepped forward, quickly turned the katana into a straight position, and slashed at the neck of one of the Black Knight's vulnerable parts with both hands.

After a heavy slash, the black knight's body shattered into shards as the katana came to a steady stop at a distance of a millimeter from the ground.

The battle is over, and the counter-kill is successful. Seeing this result, both the fighters inside the chessboard and the spectators outside the chessboard breathed a sigh of relief.

Well done.

Li Mengxi looked at the figure who was still in the sheath and praised it in his heart.

The most important reason why Richard and Emily were able to achieve near-instant results was the strength of their equipment, and compared to them, Igarashisuke's victory showed his skill.

As a result, the enemy's left flank was left without a pawn that could cross the riverbank, and Igarashisuke's HP was also damaged. That said, it's time for a replacement.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mengxi turned his gaze to Lori who was looking at the big axe.

"Emily, move one square to the left!" reminded loudly as he moved the pieces on the small chessboard.

"It's Miss Emily!" Emily herself complained loudly, but she didn't take it too seriously, and quickly ran along the red marker to the designated position. She stopped and turned, and in front of her was the other knight left of Black.

After returning to Black's turn, the knight charged at Emily as he had done against Igarashi Suke.

Here it comes!

Screaming excitedly, Emily raised her blood-red axe.

As the mind poured into it, the blade of the axe first sparked, and then erupted into a ferocious flame. The flames grew stronger and stronger, and in an instant, they turned into a huge fireball that enveloped the entire axe.

"Yikes!"

With a shout, she struck her tomahawk at the black knight who rushed towards her. The huge fireball immediately erupted, changing form as it flew, turning into a flaming lion.

"Whew!"

The sound of the fire piercing the air was like the roar of a beast. With this roar, the Flame Lion slammed into the Black Knight from the front.

A deafening explosion ensued, and thick smoke billowed into a cloud of mist. Soon after, the black knight, who had lost his horse, broke through the smoke screen and continued to charge Emily.

"Cut!"

Because she didn't kill the other party with a single blow, Emily slurred her tongue unwillingly, but she didn't panic. Although the black knight was not killed in seconds, the remaining residual HP can only be described as "a trace".

Emily swung her blood-colored tomahawk to the right rear and waited. After the other party rushed in front of him, he sent out a "fierce slash" with the momentum of thunder.

With a single axe, she slashed the rushing knight's waist in two, shattering it into shreds.

At the end of the battle, Emily immediately picked up her big axe and turned around and made a "V" gesture at Nayin Hinata.

"'Lion Lion Flame Break'!

What a strong sense of déjà vu.

While complaining in her heart, Naine sighed helplessly.

"It's a strong sense of déjà vu. Li Mengxi on the side directly said his feelings.

"Yes. ”

"Is the 'Lion Flame Break' magic?"

"Hmm. The fire attribute fixed-point attack magic is as you can see, and it's very powerful, but the runes are also very long, so it will take about four or five seconds to input my words even if you use a spell to write a spell. ”

In such a comparison, it seems that magic equipment is really a convenient equipment. However, I guess I can't get it myself, at least from Hephaestus, after all, that person obviously hates himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mengxi also sighed, and then turned his mind back to the chess game. The next thing he was going to move was the knight who belonged to Igarashi Suke.

So far, he has not been sniped by the opponent's archers, all because Li Mengxi has taken advantage of the procedural nature of Black to only move the pieces according to the rules of the move. Even if the archer only sends one blow, it is better to use the common-sense judgment of the knight to directly attack the eater.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of the tactics he had adopted again. Ignoring the gameplay of the chess game, just blindly using the strength of the individual chess pieces to make the opponent unable to get out of any good chess under the premise of "must be defeated to eat the pieces", there are really enough hooligans.

Truth be told, if he were to take charge of the chariot himself, he would probably be able to sweep Black out of the game alone.

In fact, the reason why I have some concerns now is completely because the magic attacks of the guns and archers have unknown dangers, but if Li Mengxi comes to fight by himself, he can completely have no scruples with the effect of the ten thousand laws of the red spear "Haotian".

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mengxi suddenly recalled the advice Hephaestus gave him that day at the Water Hip Pavilion: "Heroes can't do without the people."

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance back at Hephaestus himself, who was watching the battle outside.

This sentence is probably to say, "Don't think that you can solve all problems alone", or "Don't think you can take care of everything, you think you are old".

So, after seeing this strategy, how will Hephaestus feel?

Li Mengxi, who suddenly noticed that he was distracted, immediately shook his head and cleared all his previous thoughts from his mind. Then he picked up the knight's pawn.

Li Mengxi originally planned to let Igarashi Suke go back like this, but just as he was about to settle down, Igarashisuke's voice sounded in his ears.

"General, since the sword has been unsheathed, how can it be withdrawn before the enemy has been dealt with?"

"What are you talking about!" Before Li Mengxi could say anything, Hinata Nain was the first to speak and scolded, "Your HP has already lost one-third!"

"Hinata-san, didn't you say that you would not interfere with my way of life?" Igarashi retorted, "General, you should know that the most efficient move to get me out of the range of the archers is to make the most efficient move! ”

Why did this guy do this? Just because of that battle with the merfolk?

Listening to Igarashisuke's words, Li Mengxi couldn't help but have a question in his heart. But he didn't know the answer, and now was not the time to delve into it.

"You're dressed like a ronin, but you're unexpectedly a samurai. ”

Li Mengxi took a deep breath and said, and then his expression became serious.

"But unfortunately, I'm Chinese. So, give me a life. ”

After the conversation was closed, Li Mengxi changed the place where the pawn fell and placed it in front of Black's remaining knights. In this way, a situation of challenge was formed, and according to the rules, the high-ranking soldiers had to fight.

"Yumekei!" Hinata immediately called out when she saw this. She was asking, "Why?"

So, Li Mengxi smiled at her and replied, "Everyone has something that can't be conceded no matter what, isn't it?"

That's right, Hinata herself has something that she doesn't want to give up and must not give into, something that only exists in the game world and is becoming more and more real in this death game. Even though she is still called a "minor" by adults, this thing has taken root in her heart.

It was precisely because of this that she couldn't understand Igarashisuke's current behavior.

"But what if ......"

"Nayin!" Li Mengxi shouted, "I like to think about what if, but now there is no just case!"

At the sound of these words, Igarashi suke stepped into the chess grid in front of the black gun.
