Chapter 111: War Chess
If he could write on his face to express the mood of the egret now, he would definitely write two words on his face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Why did you choose this artifact in the first place, and its historical value and origin?
In the entire treasure house, the egret can't tell the origin and history of even the three antiquities, let alone the object chosen by the face!
This situation is very embarrassing. As the egret was cold, the rest of the knights stared at each other, looking curious and puzzled. If you don't know the value of this antiquity, why do you choose it for evaluation inexplicably?
No one knew that the egret was just an antiquity that was deliberately chosen by Duke Anne at the behest of Duke Anne.
"Ahem, ahem, this artifact. It has a very high historical value, well, it's famous, and this, in short, is very valuable. ”
The egret's embarrassment was overwhelming, and Lulu had already covered her face on the side.
The bishop's trial officer had a strange expression, "You don't know anything, you didn't choose it by chance, right?"
"This antiquity is not famous. In fact, it is difficult to say what its history is. It's just that this rune was carved by an ancient magic printing technique that only existed seven thousand years ago, and now this technique has been lost. So even the most conservative estimates put the antiquity more than 7,000 years old. Anne couldn't help but speak, and she looked at the egret helplessly.
Originally, I wanted to help the egret win, but now it's hard to say.
Sure enough, the bishop's trial officer looked disapproving. "Although you chose the oldest one, you did not say the history and why. So I can only assume that you are lucky. ”
"In this way, if you choose the Banke Empire, the second historical value, can you tell me about the value of your antiquity?"
The knights of Banko were delighted and began to introduce the chosen antiquities. They handed over a knight's sword, which was so primitive that the style was no longer used. This is an ancient ceremonial sword, which has a history of more than 5,000 years. I don't know what kind of material and maintenance method is used, even now, when I pull out the sword god, I still have a sharp cold glow.
Since Banko made the value and origin clear, they were naturally ranked first, and the egret group, who had no way to explain the historical value of the antiquities, could only be relegated to second.
The trial ended quickly. It hardly took a couple of hours, while the airship was under maintenance and could only continue in the evening. The knights had precious rest time and were looking for a place to relax, drink, or soak in the hot springs.
The egret found Anne immediately, "I said, can't you give a few more hints?"
"Then why don't you strengthen your knowledge of history. Anne smiled, the embarrassed appearance of the egret just now was rare, enough for Anne to be happy for a long time.
The discipline of history, without sufficient accumulation, will not be able to get the best results just by relying on tips like cheating.
"Speaking of which, these are small paths. Counts as a bonus item in the Garden Trial. Only the final battlefield is what you should be aware of. Anne said, "The score of the battle accounts for more than half of the entire trial, so you should also see that the knights of the major empires did not pay much attention to the ranking of the previous trial. ”
That's true. If the previous trials had taken up a large proportion, the preparations of these knights would definitely have been more complete. But knights are combat professions after all, and it is estimated that no one would want a guy who only knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to occupy the high position of the knight ranking.
"However, in terms of combat power, you should pay special attention to Jaren of the Ice Moon Empire, Marianne of the Holy Radiance, and Fansina of the Dean Empire. In addition to Jalen, the other two have no obvious records, but they are exceptionally powerful knights. Anne revealed an important piece of information, "No matter who these three are, they all have the strength to match the elites in the field, and they have had similar records. So I advise you to be more prepared. ”
This is different from what Egret thought, Marianne he knows, the strength of this deputy regiment commander is almost the same as his own, but other people, such as Kazan's Death Reaper Yudona or Banquo's fortress Luthor, are guys who are full of fame on the battlefield, aren't they as good as the three that Annie said?
Anne didn't explain too much. As the host, she invited Egret and Lulu to the largest restaurant in the capital of the Radiant Empire for dinner, and asked Nina and Fiona about their recent situation during the dinner.
"Lulu, do you know anything about the combat power of the other Imperial Knights?" asked Egret with some curiosity.
Lulu thought for a moment. "It should be said that we all know some of the strength on the surface, but, just like any of us have a backhand, these guys themselves should also be hidden. ”
"Whether it's a skill or a kicker wizard, it's going to be a killer thing. Such a thing, before the battle, is not clear. ”
Egret naturally understood this, and Annie's words made him care a lot. It can be seen that like the Ice Moon Empire and the Holy Radiance Empire, which had poor results before, their main energy should not be focused on these non-combat trials.
And the subsequent trial of war chess proved this point.
In Bancor's capital, the knights have all arrived at Bancor's Central Chess Academy. After a little rest and adjustment in the Holy Radiance Empire, the knights' mental outlook was refreshed.
Banke's trial officer walked out, faced the knight and the major live media, and said with a smile: "War chess is a direct embodiment of a knight's strategic ability. Therefore, it is also a more important part of the trial. This trial does not require you to play against each other, and in order to ensure that your level is indeed above the level, we have specially hired a war chess master and set up three chess games for you. If you can beat all of them, then the ranking will be determined according to the time it takes, and if you can't beat all the games, then the ranking will be determined according to the amount of progress. ”
War chess. Egret's contact with this is only in training, although during that time, Egret has not cultivated the solidification skills of war chess from advanced level, but there is still a certain gap from the master level.
It's like the three chess games that Banko has moved out now, and the egret is almost confused.
War chess is a unique product of another world, and it is different from chess or Go in the Egret world.
Each game of chess will have seven soldiers, five knights, three army commanders, and one general. Of course, if you are always eaten by the opponent, the game is over. This is a very balanced mode, in addition to the main chessboard, it is possible to open sub-battlefields, depending on the number of clan commanders, it is possible to divide into three outer battlefields. According to the order of arrangement, a person can take one step on each of the four main and secondary boards. The same is true for the other party.
The first hand is the attacker, and the second hand is the defender. Therefore, when the backhand has an advantage over the first, having the barrier as an additional piece can ensure its own advantage. Each single piece also has its fixed lifespan. For example, a soldier has three lives, a knight and a legion commander have only two lives, a general has only one life, and so on. This makes the layout of the board and the tactical requirements extremely complicated, and only a noble knight with a lot of time can dive into the study of battles for a long time, so as to achieve a high level of chess skills.
The three chess games set up by Banko are all endgame breaking postures. And they are all the beginnings of the main and secondary four-board system. Not only was the egret dumbfounded, but even the knights of the Dean Empire and the Banco Empire, who liked to fight all year round, frowned.
Surprisingly, the first to get started was Chrissy of the Ice Moon Empire, who muttered for more than ten minutes before finally cracking a chessboard. The one who fought against him was the master chess master invited by Banko.
Chrissy, as the first mover, did not take into account the few remaining soldiers who were strategically surrounded, and used the knight and the legion commander to gain the upper hand, and it took more than an hour to crack the first chessboard.
The knights of the rest of the empire couldn't help but start a cracking battle with their respective war chess masters, even if it was the egret, they barely took a few steps.
"It's not going to go on like this. Seeing the egret's frowning face, Lulu spoke. In the strange eyes of the egret, he took over the dominance of the chessboard. Start playing against the master of war chess on the other side.
With this takeover, the egret noticed a difference. This big-looking and not very scheming Lulu Knight actually turned the situation on the field in a few steps, not only competing with the war chess master, but even having a slight advantage.
I can't see it! Lulu still has this hand!
Egret was surprised to find that Lulu's level in war chess was no worse than that of the elites of any other empire, and even surpassed. Originally, they had already delayed their progress, but in just half an hour, they had already begun to solve the second endgame.
That's a little slower than the Ice Moon Empire. And Lulu's state seems to have reached its peak, and the speed of cracking is getting faster and faster.
After that, Lulu and Chrissy entered the third endgame at about the same time. Although they are cracking the same endgame, each war chess master has a different style of response, and there is no possibility of imitation or plagiarism. With the two far behind, the rest of the knights almost gave up on cracking and instead stared at Chrissy and Lulu.
Chrissy lays a discarded piece on the chessboard, setting a trap for wasting her moves. She didn't expect the war chess master on the other side to be fooled, but she didn't expect this master to really rush in.
Golden opportunity!
Chrissy's eyes lit up, this time the master of war chess had to waste at least three moves on the secondary chessboard, counting the chain reaction, Chrissy had almost sealed the victory.
Lulu's side is in a stalemate. The war chess master on the opposite side is strictly guarded, not missing a flaw, Lulu is like facing a hedgehog covered in thorns at the moment, and she has no way to speak.
Willing, willing. If there is no abandonment, there will be somewhere. Lulu's personality is reflected in the chessboard, and she is a good knight who does not give up any of her companions. But if you talk about the strategic level, compared to those generals who can abandon their subordinates, or even give up a legion as bait, her character will suffer a lot.
Unsurprisingly, Chrissy of the Ice Moon Empire was victorious. Lulu was half an hour late to crack it, allowing the Ice Moon Empire to take the first place in war chess.
"I'm sorry. Lulu felt a little guilty, she knew where she was lacking, but she resisted change.
The egret smiled indifferently.
"It's okay. Compared to those who can abandon their subordinates or companions, your personality is not annoying. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and next, it was the final trial before the battle.
Trials of Wisdom.
