Chapter 90: Playtime
Afternoon. The sun is lazily lying on the clouds, and the warm sunlight shines through the thick clouds on the bodies of busy people who come and go, making people indescribably lazy, just want to sleep well.
In Faraz's study, Alina clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Ryan, you're dying, aren't you?
Red also gloated and said, "Poor Ryan, you're too bad, aren't you? ”
Ryan sat there, completely untouched by others, and in the short time that Victor had been testing, he had learned how to calm his mind without being influenced by the outside world.
Ryan's eyes kept sweeping over the chessboard in front of him, thinking carefully about the dilemma in front of him: his royal infantry was almost slaughtered by Farah, and the knights with extremely attacking power were suppressed in the corner of the chessboard by Farah's ** division and could not move. The only people who could move freely at his disposal, apart from the king with the crown on his head, were the two poor elite archers.
Obviously, this pitiful force was powerless against the legion of two ** divisions, four knights, and a priest of Faraz.
The thing Ryan and Faras were playing was called "Imperial War Chess", a game that one of his officers came up with after Fernando I pacified the continent, using carved lifelike chess pieces and a huge map with a lot of squares to simulate a battle between two armies.
Originally, Ryan was going to relax a little with everyone, after all, tomorrow is the third game of the Lace team, and everyone in the team is working hard during this time, so it is just time to take out this warm half day to relax.
So during lunch, Ryan asked Farath if he had any games to play, and Farath blurted out, "Imperial War Chess!"
Faras and Red are more familiar with this kind of game, the two of them first play against each other, mainly to explain the rules to everyone, and then at the unanimous request of everyone, Ryan and Faras start the real first game.
Ryan's level was not Faraz's opponent at all, and in a matter of moments, his two ** divisions fell into an ambush circle under Faraz.
In order to rescue his most attacking division, Ryan had to mobilize a large amount of troops to attack the position arranged by Faras, hoping to open a gap and rescue his own division, but was eaten by Faras one by one using the terrain.
In the first game, Faras annihilated Ryan's army at the cost of six royal infantry and won easily.
Next, Ryan became more familiar with the rules of the game, and he carefully used his brain to determine that the army was holding a few key points and preparing to defend it to the death in response to the first blind move of the chess pieces that led to falling into the trap of Farath.
Originally, Ryan's idea was to learn from the first game of Faraz, using the terrain to eliminate each other one by one, but unexpectedly, Faraz's two ** divisions stayed together for two rounds, and then released the forbidden spell!
Seeing that a large number of his elite troops were defeated by Faras with a forbidden spell, and then picked it up with a smile, Ryan wanted to cry without tears, he felt that this was definitely a conspiracy, because Faras didn't say that 2 ** divisions could release the forbidden spell if they stayed together for 2 rounds. If he had known that this was the case, Ryan would never be stupid enough to gather his chess pieces together, and then sit back and watch Faras gather the two ** divisions together and deliver this fatal blow. What's more, you can use it yourself in the first game, so maybe you won't lose.
In the third game, Ryan decided to strike first after consideration, and he divided his troops into two ways at the beginning, attacking Faraz's palace at the same time, preparing to defeat Faraz as quickly as possible.
However, Faras soon had a countermeasure, she used a small number of troops to contain Ryan, and on the other hand, she used a large number of troops to form a local superior force, and played a war of attrition with Ryan.
After some brain-draining thinking and fierce battles, Ryan's high-ranking army was consumed by Farrath with a low-level army.
When Ryan found out about Faras's intentions, he only had a few knights left in his hands, and these 3 knights were still suppressed in a corner by Faras's ** division. Even if Ryan was able to get these knights out, it wouldn't change the overall situation much.
Ryan thought for a long time, but had to sigh and push down his king's pawn, admitting defeat.
Alina jumped up excitedly and said loudly, "Haha, Ryan lost again." ”
Ryan said a little depressed, "Maybe I won't be able to play this game at all, right?"
Faras smiled and comforted Ryan and said, "Don't be angry, Ryan. In fact, you have just started learning, and many rules are not familiar with, and it is inevitable to lose. ”
Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly, pointed to the chessboard and said, "This thing is very well done, the person who invented it in the first place is really smart." ”
Farath nodded in agreement, explaining, "Yes, it's actually quite complicated. It was originally there to comfort His Majesty Fernando's generals who had nothing to fight, so it naturally complicated it. You see such a large chessboard, a lot of complex terrain, and the confrontation between the various classes. A lot of people have to play it for a long time before they can really get familiar with all the rules. ”
Faras said, "Ryan, you're just starting to learn, and it's normal to lose. When I was playing with my sister, it often took several days to play a game, and even every time I made a move, I had to think about it for half a day, and I didn't even eat, and I was scolded by my mother!"
Faras talked about his mother, and suddenly his eyes turned red, Ryan knew that Faras remembered his mother who died early, so he quickly held Faras's hand and comforted him: "Don't be sad, it's been so long, and besides, everything has me." ”
Not wanting to shed tears, Faras raised her head slightly, her gaze meeting Ryan's in the air.
He expressed his heart to her with his eyes: "I will love you well, protect you, don't let you be wronged, and let you be happy forever." She saw sincere feelings in his eyes: "Even though I have lost my mother, my sister is not around, and my father is busy with his own affairs, I am not alone, because I still have him!"
A tenderness slowly emerged in the hearts of the two, narrowing the distance between the two hearts, the spark of love burst out in the eyes of each other, the power of love seemed to stop time, at this moment, he (her) only left the other party in his (her) eyes, because the other party is the whole of his life, he (she) is destined to be intertwined with his other half in this life, sharing each other's joys and sorrows.
As early as Ryan and Faras looked at each other, Red pulled Alina to the other side of the study, and at this time, it was better to leave their own space for the close lovers.
