Section 99 Chess Match (II)
In Kindleberger, there is a wall, and businessmen always have to see a return on their investment.
Solomon did not tell them the details of the legion to be formed, but only gave them the merchants who accompanied the army, and they were certainly not willing to pay further.
After all, they also collected some guards, and the sum of the various merchants was not a small number, at least it was worthy of a brigade.
What they lacked was a leader who could bring this force together and play a greater role in protecting them where the Asturian armies had not yet set foot and even opening up new trade routes for them.
So they were interested in Solomon, because Solomon had both talent and the ability to gain their trust in a certain way.
In this case, it would contradict Solomon's plan to find them to join the legion.
But Solomon was not discouraged, for he had only come to test his temper first.
It depends on how the situation changes, and whether Solomon will come up with better leverage and prospects to attract merchants.
This is only a matter of waiting for the Dwarves and Cecilia to come out with the results.
Next, Solomon put aside the formation of the legion for the time being and began to prepare for the chess tournament with all his might.
In the meantime, he went back to the Black Rock Plane again.
Tieye finally waited for him to return, overjoyed, because at this time, the nascent Dwarven Slave Empire was already in a very dangerous situation, Iron Fury and Gangyan had launched a fierce attack on the Land of Stonefist, and other dwarven clans were also about to move.
On the contrary, Iron Fury and Gangyan thought that they would definitely be able to attack the country of Stone Fist, and they didn't want other dwarven clans to come to grab food, so they stepped up their onslaught. On the one hand, he sent messengers to deter other clans. They were not allowed to go to war.
Otherwise. If all the other dwarven clans had done it together, the country of Stonefist would have been unable to hold out for a long time.
Even so, the Land of Stonefist lost most of its previously looted territory, and the improvised fortress built in front of it was attacked and destroyed.
Fortunately, Tie Ye saw the opportunity quickly at that time, and asked all the dwarven garrisons to retreat, preserving their strength.
At the time of the previous resistance, the country of Fist of Stone was also under the guidance of the mages under the command of Solomon. The improvised fortress was built at the more dangerous passes behind.
The two clans of Iron Fury and Gangyan won the previous battle, their confidence was high, and the dwarves did not have cavalry, so they did not send special forces to bypass the pass to attack the rear, but honestly continued to push over in a positive manner.
At this time, the mages of the Blackstone Fortress and Wolf finally discussed a result, although Solomon and England were not there, but the dwarven kingdom that was supported by one hand was already in danger of destruction, and they could not sit idly by, so they brazenly sent troops. Only then did they drag the Iron Fury and Gangyan clans outside the pass until Solomon's return.
Solomon felt a headache. When he came back, he originally wanted to prepare for the chess tournament quietly, but as soon as he returned, he encountered that the dwarf clan finally started a war, but he couldn't sit idly by, so he had to command it himself.
In order to defeat as much as possible, so as to free up time for himself, after all, the chess game is about to begin, and Solomon cannot drag this battle for too long, even if seven days here are equal to one day of Keos.
He had to take the risk of withdrawing Wolf from the pass and then allowing the combined forces of the Iron Fury Clan and the Gangyan Clan to attack the pass.
Without Wolf's help, the pass was immediately in danger, and the two major clans could be captured, so the whole army was staked.
At this time, Solomon also gathered most of the forces of the Blackstone Fortress and raided the rear of the dwarven clan with the cooperation of the mage.
As a result, the pass of the Land of Stone Fist was breached again, but as soon as it was breached, Tieye and they retreated.
According to the normal battle situation, at this time, when the two major clans are pursuing the victory, they will cause a large number of casualties to the enemy, and even whether Tie Ye can escape back is two words.
But at the same time, Wolf, led by Solomon, also attacked the rear of the Dwarven Clan Alliance with a thunderous force, directly attacking the positions of the commanders of the two clans and carrying out a slashing operation.
Although the two dwarven clans have already clashed with some Wolf in the defensive battle of the previous pass, because there is no real commander, Wolf is assisting in the defense, and Wolf is actually better at field warfare.
So although Wolf's arrogance frightened Iron Fury and Gangyan, the small number of them still made them underestimate the effectiveness of Solomon's return to lead the army.
Although they also carefully placed a certain number of guards in the rear, with the full impact of Wolff and the help of the magician, they could not resist Solomon's advance at all.
As a result, the commanders of the two major clans were attacked by a fierce surprise attack at the same time that their armies had just broken through the important pass of the Kingdom of Stone Fist, and they were successfully beheaded, turning victory into defeat.
The rest of the work of recovering the lost land was of course left to Tieya himself, and all Solomon was waiting for Tieya to offer benefits to the aliens for this purpose.
However, this battle did deter the other dwarf clans, of course, they didn't know that in fact, the combined forces of the two major clans could have the upper hand if they were cautious, after all, Wolf's number was far inferior to their army, if it wasn't for being beheaded and the army was scattered, it was not known who would win and who would lose.
But this did make the other dwarven clans start to consider their positions, and some of the smaller dwarven clans that were closer began to secretly send emissaries to see Tieye to see if the entire tribe could join the land of Stonefist.
Solomon didn't bother to worry about how Tieye would take over these small clans and how to fill the ranks of the Stonefist Country, and he changed his initial policy of hard conquest to create such a dwarven kingdom, which was originally intended to be put in front of the front, and to help him free himself from the quagmire that the conquerors were most likely to fall into.
It can be said that it has now begun to show results, and it is also such a battle, if it is replaced by Solomon and other aliens, these small clans will not take the initiative to take refuge no matter how afraid they are, but because it is the country of Stone Fist, these small clans have the heart to take refuge in line.
The war has subsided for the time being, and it will not be smooth sailing in the future, but that is also the business of the Dwarven Kingdom itself.
In fact, when Solomon arrived at this plane, he was not prepared to adopt the initial strategy of tough conquest and bloody slaughter. I have long considered other soft means. For example, trade. Or exploit the dwarves by controlling some kind of lifeblood.
In this regard, because of the time-travelers, Solomon can find experience from the sordid colonial history of the previous world.
It's just that luck was back at that time, as soon as they arrived at the Black Rock Plane, they were first attacked by Tieye and their initiative, and in that situation, Solomon had to change his original intention and use strong means to deter first.
to the back. One of the big problems of the conquerors came to the table, the lack of manpower, it was impossible for Solomon to conquer all the dwarves one by one and rule them like a kingdom.
Moreover, it is still the same sentence, he will be willing to be a dwarf king only in this face if he has a problem with his brain.
This plane, if it weren't for the value of the Black Rock, Solomon might even give up after recovering his capital.
Of course, it is unlikely to give up now, because once the dwarves and Cecilia succeed. It is very likely to cause a change, and the cornerstone of change. It was most likely the Black Rock of this plane, so he definitely couldn't give up his dominance here.
The most appropriate means is to use Tieye to unify the dwarves here, and he can exert heavy influence on the dwarven kingdom.
Three days later, the final of the Elven Chess was held in the "World" of the Grand Arcana District of the Academy of Magic.
Unlike the preliminaries, which are one-on-one points matches, the finals are in survival mode, where up to 24 players (there are only 22 players in this tournament) are placed in a single game, and the winner is the champion.
This is a great test of the overall skill of the chess players, because even the person who is the best player is not necessarily the winner in the end, but may be killed by people in the first place because they are too popular or too strong.
Of course, this model is not unfamiliar to every chess player who can qualify for the finals of a chess tournament, because most of them are the best of the younger generation in their own houses, and they often encounter other players joining forces in the survival mode games of their respective houses.
The only thing that may not be suitable is the six foreign contestants from Division 3, who are usually either strong or extremely weak.
The strength lies in the fact that they may be wild moves, breaking the layout that the participating players have encountered before, and taking the sword to the side, or they may be extremely weak, because even if the wild mages are fortunate enough to learn and come into contact with the elven magic chess, they do not have the opportunity to have access to the magic chess with such a large amount of time as the academy students.
Solomon was definitely the favorite in this tournament, because his name was able to defeat the intermediate mage player in the chess tournament before he became an intermediate mage, swept through the small Arcana district, and only suffered a small loss under Krausa, who was already a mid-level mage at that time.
But now that he had also been promoted to an intermediate mage, the other seven contestants in the academy, although they were also intermediate mages, had the highest demand for his victory.
Naturally, he became the most high-profile player in the tournament, and there were many people who cared about him, such as Max, a somewhat nervous female mage Stephanie and Agatha, who had just grown into a beautiful girl.
As the game begins, the player's pre-selected camp or self-created country is temporarily closed to the players, but it is open to spectators.
When the spectators saw Solomon's information, it was rare for Solomon to choose to build his own country this time.
Moreover, in terms of various levels of troops, it is not just a few common combinations to form a state, such as using the combination of the Terran class and the celestial realm to form a cult state.
Instead, almost every level of troops is from a different race, you can imagine that when we play Heroes Invincible, each level of troops has an optimal, but it is very likely to belong to different forces, and Solomon is this "optimal" combination.
The combination of multiple creatures is the benefit of self-built countries, strong alliances, and even legions with no obvious weaknesses, but the question is whether the commander can have enough mental power to command, and whether there is enough magic power to consume.
You know, while you get the benefits of a strong alliance, the consequence is that the cost will increase, if the factions of the creatures are hostile to each other, the cost will also increase, and even after you create a country, the maximum bio production of the combined legion will increase, but the cost will also increase
This means that those who drive creatures of the same rank with only two pawns will need three pawns when uniting a legion, and the more pawns there are, the more efficiency will increase, but the more mental power and mana the player will consume in the game. (To be continued......)
