Chapter 42: The Battle Chess Match

The first day of the new year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Carl stood on the balcony on the second floor of the Mijiu family, his hand resting on the railing, a cold winter wind blew, and Carl subconsciously squinted.

Remembered the conversation I had with Patchouli in the Void Shard last night.

......

After moving Miku to her bed, Carl slept in a chair in the study next door.

[Enter, Pache Rich's Great Library]

For a moment, the vertigo of time and space shift, Carl had already appeared beside Pache Valley.

Patchouli glanced at Carl's state and let out a surprised question, "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Carl felt like he was in good shape, very good.

"The after-effects of that overstepping spell are gone. Patchouli was amazed, "What's going on?"

"Just now. Carl twisted his neck, "The effect of Miku's singing, I don't know why." ”

"There's a lot of spiritual mystery. Pache crossed her fingers and propped her head, "What do you think of Miku, Temptation?" ”

Carl looked down and remembered-

The first time we met, the broken heartache that fell in a pool of blood.

In the hotel, a weak girl who carefully feeds the carp.

In the jewelry store, the stars hold the moonlight and the stunning beauty.

Also, under the moon by the river, the song is poetic and picturesque.

There is pity for her, and there is also love for her.

"I ......," Carl finally confirmed his feelings, "I like her." ”

The purple-haired magic made the girl sit behind her desk and tilt her head to look at him, "You haven't forgotten what your purpose was. ”

Pache Teaule's words made the boy quickly cool down.

After a while, Karl closed his eyes with some hesitation and pain.

Now Carl is not in a state where there is nothing to do, for the unfulfilled promise, for the only relative of his own, he has come here step by step, which is destined for him not to stop here.

In the bishop's prophecy, although Irene is safe for the time being, she will eventually encounter danger, and she must go through it, and she must not involve unrelated people.

"Whatever lies ahead, I'm going to face it alone. Carl gritted his teeth, "I can't get Miku into it because of my own thoughts. ”

"No, just because you're still too weak. ”

Pache walked up to Karl, helped him straighten his somewhat wrinkled collar, and whispered, "Grow up quickly, only your own strength can protect yourself and the people you want to protect." ”

............

......

"Morning, Carl. Miku rubbed her eyes and walked out of her bedroom.

The girl is wearing pink pajamas, holding a large cotton pillow, more casual than when she was in the hotel, and in her own home, Mijiu is obviously more at ease.

Carl smiled reluctantly and shook his head.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Miku, as if sensing that Carl was a little different, curiously.

Carl rubbed his face, relieved the stiff muscles in his face, and calmed his mood: "It's nothing, it's just that the wind blows and the face freezes." It's not early, it's past ten o'clock now, and I guess I can't see the team game when I get to the main square. ”

[At least for the last three days, I'll be able to stay with her.] ]

"Woooooo, it's all my fault, if I hadn't dragged you over to live. Mijiu lowered her head and apologized.

"Don't blame yourself. Carl touched her head, "I feel like it's worth it." ”

[That song from last night was already priceless.] ]

"I said don't touch my head......" Miku said pretending to be unhappy, but she didn't dodge it, and there was an expression of enjoyment on her face.

"This is not the outside. Carl smiled.

"Uh-huh. Miku, who was seductive, nodded vigorously.

"Hurry up and wash up, I'll buy breakfast and put it in the restaurant, and I'll go to the hotel later, maybe I can catch the chess game." Carl nudged Yomiku.

There are only eight teams participating in the team competition, which is shorter than the individual competition, and the chess competition is not long, so the two competitions were completed together this morning.

............

......

When he was an hour, Carl and Miku were already standing on the balcony of the hotel room, and Mijiu was not interested in the so-called war chess game, but only came to accompany Carl.

There is a difference between the arena and the individual game of the war chess match, the players on both sides need to stay in a one-way transparent room that cannot see the outside, operate on a huge sandbox, choose the troops they need at the beginning and place them on the field, and can get a "commander" on behalf of themselves, the commander will convert the player's own strength, and the player can put the commander into battle, but the death of the commander will also lead to direct defeat.

Capture the opponent's base camp and destroy 80% of the units to win.

You can only operate your own units on the sandbox, and you can't see the opponent's layout, and the opponent's unit will appear on the sandbox in the form of a projection unless you enter the field of view.

[The war chess competition has entered the final stage, and the two players are invited to the stage!]

The host shouted loudly, and busts of two young men and women appeared on the big screen behind him, appearing in the upper left and lower right corners of the screen, respectively, and a lightning bolt struck between the two to separate them.

Edward, who had flame-like red hair, slowly walked up to the stage, with a very serious look in his eyes, and looked at the brown-haired girl in front of him: "You are very strong." ”

The somewhat short spear knight girl was dressed in armor, and a pair of fists wearing iron gloves touched: "I didn't expect that in this arena, you can also come this far." ”

There was a hint of suppressed excitement in the girl's words: "In order to repay you for your kindness of eliminating me in the first round of the individual competition, I have prepared a special meal for you." ”

Edward narrowed his eyes, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

The game of war chess is a test of the player's command ability.

[In the previous battle, Edward showed us his calm and precise calculation ability, fully demonstrating what is the wisdom of a magician, and Ida is good at destroying all enemies in front of him with the charging ability of cavalry. On this battlefield, wisdom or courage, which is better, let's wait and see. 】

The host took advantage of the two contestants to enter their operation room.

A top-down view of a huge sandbox appears on the big screen, the same as the platform for the two players, but the difference is that the distribution of forces on both sides can be seen from above.

As well as some match stats.

Random battlefield environment - Plains

Several ordinary soldiers of the red side appeared in several key road positions, this is the reconnaissance force sent by Edward, the spear knight girl of the blue side did not choose to reconnoitre, but directly attacked Edward's base camp from three positions, only to eliminate all the soldiers of several reconnaissance in an instant, but the troops were also exposed in front of the other party - all the cavalry.

The three cavalry did not pause and advanced together, but in front of the left flank was a trap laid by the red side, and if the cavalry rushed over, the way forward and backward would be blocked by the heavy infantry, and they would be unilaterally slaughtered by the crossbowmen.

Within Edward's insight, the cavalry on the right began to move closer to the center, and when the two teams approached, they wrapped up on the left flank.

Ida deliberately chose two routes that were easy to set traps, and then used the right side to support the middle lane, if the middle lane was ambushed, it would be able to reverse the red ambush force surrounding her cavalry, and there was no ambush after the ambush point in the middle lane, so she concluded that the red side would set a trap on the left side, and now the three cavalry are converging, and Edward's scout has been killed and can't see Ada's actions, can he react in time?!

Edward in the chess room frowned: "Slow down......"

The left cavalry was slow to enter the ambush circle, indicating that the opponent either saw through his trap or had a backhand.

After the cavalry stepped into the trap, the two earth mage units used the three-ring spell swamp technique, turning a large area into a muddy swamp, the speed of the cavalry suddenly slowed down greatly, and the heavy infantry with shields appeared in front of the road to block the way of the cavalry's advance, and behind the heavy infantry were three rows of heavy crossbowmen, and after a round of three attacks, most of the cavalry were killed and wounded.

Although the tactical objective was achieved, Edward did not let up, as the second wave of scouts did not detect the cavalry in the center and on the right.

Sure enough, soon, like a torrent piercing through the rotten wood, two cavalry units suddenly appeared from the rear, slaughtering the crossbowmen and heavy infantry, and the two mage units were killed by the cavalry mixed with mounted archers before they could cast the spell again.

"You were right. A sneer appeared on the corner of Edward's mouth, and he thrust the command rod into the sandbox, "Commander, use the spell Flame Meteor!"

Outside the original encirclement, a larger encirclement appeared, encircling the three cavalry together again, and under the pressure of the heavy infantry and the swamp technique of the mage unit, the cavalry units that had just made a charge could not quickly break away.

A layer of defensive signs appears on ambushed troops, a priestly blessing that is able to resist some damage from magic and vindictiveness. One of the largest RED units appears on the field, which represents Edward's own commander.

As long as the meteor falls into the field, the undefended cavalry troops will inevitably be lost, and the victory will be won by the ambushed soldiers.

"Now that the commander has appeared, the outcome has been decided. Ida in the other chess room also squinted her eyes, revealing a dangerous light, and inserted the command stick into the sandbox, "Commander dispatch, use the Legion skill to charge again!"

Once the commander unit enters the battlefield, the player loses direct control of the unit until it is out of combat.

But now it's time to decide the winner.

On the big screen, in the team of the Central Cavalry, one of the largest blue units appears, which represents Ada.

The meteor fell, and because it was defenseless and too dense, more than half of the cavalry troops were directly wiped out, but the speed of the cavalry instantly increased to the maximum, and they rushed towards the red commander without stopping.

"There is a legion skill...... Edward frowned, watching the cavalry unit led by the blue commander directly kill the unit representing him, regardless of casualties.

Although the number and condition of his own surviving units were much better than those of the opponent, the commander was killed.

In this battle, he lost.

Players can register their abilities with their own commanders before the match, but they must have their own, so in real warfare, Ada can also activate this legion skill in earnest, increasing the speed of the cavalry that has stopped directly to the speed of the charge.

The bigwigs on the rostrum exchanged their heads and ears, as if commenting on the game, and the cardinal touched his beard with satisfaction.

The Silver Hand is the internal order of the Church, and Ada's victory is a sign of glory for the Church.

It is also a kind of force, a force that unites scattered and disorderly combat power.

Carl looked in his eyes and thought silently.

Miku has been dozing off in the recliner at some point, and she is about to fall asleep.

She couldn't understand such a thing.

"It's time for lunch, get up. Karl pulled Miku up for the lure.

"Hey......" lured Meijiu and woke up as soon as she was excited.

Today is actually a little colder than yesterday, Carl touched his nose, and strangely, Miku didn't feel cold, as if something had changed unconsciously.

But that's a good thing.
