Outside the Red Maple Fortress, the Gilgidian military camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The bishop takes two steps forward, Tiberius, I have eaten your soldiers. Sitting at the table, Meng Fan was playing war chess with his subordinate Tiberius. The war chess on the Qinglan Continent is somewhat similar to the chess on the earth, but the types and rules of the chess pieces are more complex than chess.

Meng Fan likes the game of war chess very much, and in his free time, Meng Fan often asks Tiberius to accompany him to play a few games.

"The knight takes three steps to the left, Lord Claude, I'm sorry. Tiberius removed a black chess piece representing Meng Fan's side from the chessboard. "Oh, careless, careless, the queen was eaten by you. Meng Fan clapped his hands and sighed.

The queen is the second most advanced piece in the game after the king, and since the king can only stay in his own camp, the queen can be said to be the most attacking character of all the pieces. After losing the queen, Meng Fan's power on the chess side fell in an instant.

"Tiberius, your chess skills are really amazing, we have been playing together for more than two years, and I have never won against you. Meng Fan said while holding the white soldier's chess piece that he had eaten.

"Lord Claude, the speed at which your chess skills have improved is admired by your subordinates, your Excellency only started to play chess two years ago, but now you can fight with your subordinates for more than half an hour. Tiberius looked up.

Tiberius has been in contact with the game of war chess since he was six years old, in Ziyang City, Tiberius has hardly met an opponent who can beat him in war chess, Meng Fan and Tiberius have been playing chess for two years, and now they can let Tiberius take out sixty percent of their strength to play chess with themselves, so the growth rate of Meng Fan's chess skills is amazing.

"But in the end, I'm going to lose to you. Meng Fan sighed and put the white chess pieces in his hand on the table. "Master Claude, you can get out of this situation by moving the general two steps to the right. Ma Saha, who had been watching the two of them play chess behind Meng Fan, spoke.

"Oh, is it?" Meng Fan hurriedly lowered his head to look at the chessboard, and Tiberius, who was sitting opposite, looked up at the dark mage Mar Sahar standing behind the lord, and Mar Saha grinned at Tiberius.

Just now, Mar Saha ordered Meng Fan a clever move, as long as Meng Fan moved the general to the right two steps, he could block the two chariots and a knight of Tiberius's side in the corner of the chessboard and couldn't move.

Tiberius was a genius-like young talent in Ziyang City, and Tiberius dabbled in a wide range of books, and did not hesitate to put down his status as a nobleman to ask for advice from people who were more knowledgeable than himself.

Tiberius liked to play war chess when he was young, and his father Bruce invited his son to be known as the most powerful war chess master in Ziyang City, and after only four years of study in the hands of the master, Tiberius surpassed this war chess master in chess, Tiberius did not think that he was the strongest in the Kingdom of Gilgias, but at least in Ziyang City, Tiberius's chess skills were unmatched.

Tiberius knew that there were still many powerful war chess masters on the Qinglan Continent, such as this black-robed man standing behind the lord, the dark mage Mar Saha.

In the past two years, when Meng Fan played chess with Tiberius, Mar Saha stood silently and watched, Mar Saha never made any comments on the game between the two, but recently, in the past two months, Mar Saha will insert a sentence behind Meng Fan from time to time, and every move that Mar Saha points out is very critical to the outcome on the chessboard, and Meng Fan, who has been reminded by Ma Saha, sometimes even makes Tiberius feel difficult to deal with.

Marzaha, the dark mage, was definitely a hidden master of war chess, and Tiberius was sure that if it was this black-robed man sitting across from him, he would lose very badly.

"Tiberius, what are you thinking? Hurry up. Meng Fan moved the general two steps to the right according to Mar Saha's instructions and said.

"Okay. Tiberius looked down at the chessboard, "Mistress Claude, you've made this move in seconds, I'll have to think about it......" Tiberius narrowed his eyes.

"Haha, yes, thanks to Marsaha's nudge. Meng Fan smiled and glanced back at the dark mage behind him. "Tiberius, don't you think it's unfair, there's a helper on my side. Meng Fan looked at the brown-haired man sitting in front of him and asked.

"Of course not, Lord Claude, whether it is a game or a war, the most important thing is to win, and too much emphasis on rules and morality is a futile excuse for defeat by the weak. Tiberius looked up.

"Chatter, His Excellency Tiberius is truly the most admired talent of Lord Claude. The dark mage Mar Sahar, who stood behind Meng Fan, let out a hoarse laugh.

"Lord Claude. "A brown-haired man in black armor walked into the tent, this brown-haired man was the commander of the Territory Army of Blackstone City, Gruya.

"Oh, Gruya, you're here, how is it today?" Meng Fan, who was sitting at the table, turned to look at the commander of his territorial army. "My subordinates sent hundreds of soldiers to fight outside the Red Maple Fortress according to your orders, but the French army in the fortress was still unmoved, and the city gate was closed tightly, and there was no movement. Gruja replied.

"Hmm. Meng Fan nodded, "Lord Claude, General Oram asked his subordinates to come over and ask you how long we will stay outside the Red Maple Fortress, General Oram is worried that the Light Holy See may already know that there are dwarven warriors in our army." Gruja spoke.

"The Holy See of Light. Meng Fan's face turned cold and he stood up from the chair. "Lord Claude, if the Holy See of Light sends someone here, then we will have to let the Dwarven army return to the Fallen Pine Hills, and the Holy See of Light will not tolerate the Dwarven army entering the human kingdom......" Tiberius, who was still sitting at the table, said.

Frowning, Meng Fan paced back and forth in the big tent for a few steps. "Lord Claude, the Holy See of Light is an abominable being, but ...... We don't have the strength to compete with the Holy See right now. The dark mage Mar Sahar said from the side.

Glancing at Mar Saha, Meng Fan lowered his head in his arms and thought for a moment. "The headquarters of the Holy See of Light is located in the city of San Lorenzo in the Kingdom of Maude, and it will take at least half a month to send people from the Holy Court, and we can use this half month to conquer the Kingdom of Fran. Meng Fan looked at Mar Saha, Tiberius, and Grua in front of him and said.

"If we want to conquer the Kingdom of Fran in half a month, then we have to take this Red Maple Fortress as soon as possible. The Fran army stays in the Red Maple Fortress and does not fight us, Lord Claude, we must find a way to get the Fran army out of the fortress......" Marzaha's blood-red eyes stared at Lord Meng Fan and said.

"Tomorrow...... It's set for tomorrow. Meng Fan seemed to have made a lot of determination and said in a deep voice. "Mistress Claude, you ...... Are you really going to do that?" Tiberius asked in a whisper, rising from his chair.

"Tiberius, didn't you just say that? Too much emphasis on rules and morality is a sign of weakness. Meng Fan stared at the brown-haired man in front of him. "I'm going to win this war, even if it's ...... Play hard. As he spoke, Meng Fan's eyes flashed with a determined and cold light.
