Chapter 424: War Chess

"Holy shit, doesn't this mean we have to fight to the end?" Looking at the blocked passage, Kristina and I went straight to Sparta. Under normal circumstances, dealing with a spider monster the size of a small car would be a matter of one move. But the problem is that not only has our size shrunk to only two inches in height, but our more deadly attributes have almost been suppressed. In this case, the only way to deal with this big spider monster is to continuously create small wounds on it, and then rely on the damage accumulation method in the game to drain this guy's health bit by bit, and finally consume it alive. .

To be honest, I have almost never used this fighting method since I exceeded level 800. Not because I don't have this kind of fighting ability, but because I don't need it. It can be said that consuming monsters alive is the most normal way of fighting in the game system, but it is the least recommended way of fighting. The reason why it is said to be normal is because the attributes of all creatures in "Zero" are digitized, so relying on this constant subtraction game, sooner or later the target's health can be polished away. But the actual situation is that the health value of monsters is generally more than three times that of players of the same level. The health value of elite monsters is eight to twenty times that of players of the same level. Small bosses and the like have no health value. Fifty times lower than players at the same level. As for those big bosses who deserve their names...a thousand times the health value is the entry standard. Ten thousand times the health value can only be regarded as a normal state. There are also those with a hundred thousand times the health value.

Faced with the powerful vitality of monsters, it is obviously very unreliable to rely on countless small injuries to accumulate the opponent's entire health. That's why those guilds that fight bosses need to mobilize thousands or even tens of thousands of people to continuously besiege the boss for a day, night or even two or three days, just to drain the opponent's health. Of course, this is still ideal data. In fact, in real battles, the boss will recover blood, but the speed is not as fast as usual. If you fight continuously for a day or two, you can imagine how much health it restores during this period of time. What's even more terrible is that the bosses don't just lie there and let you chop them. They will fight back, and they will do a lot of damage with one move. They will also heal themselves. Although there is often a limit on the number of times, they can recover by a percentage every time. Tens of percent of health. In addition, these guys will also call for reinforcements. If they can't defeat you, let your younger brothers come in, and then you can step aside and rest for a while. In the end, if they really find that they can't handle it, the bosses will suddenly feel blessed and then turn around and run away. With the boss's health and physical fitness, as long as they focus on running away. Basically few people can stop it. Therefore, it is actually the most cost-effective method to slowly consume blood during the process of pushing the boss. It takes a long time and consumes a lot of money. It’s also easy to do wasted work.

Faced with this situation, players came up with a way. Doesn’t “Zero” claim to truly simulate the laws of nature? So in reality, creatures will definitely not survive as long as their vital points are destroyed, so there should be such a setting in the game. In fact, this conjecture was known to everyone in the early stages of the game when they first came out of the novice village. After level 200, there are almost no players who do not know this. But the problem is, everyone knows that critical attacks can easily and quickly defeat any high-level monster, but can you hit it?

Monsters are not fixed targets. They can run, jump and fight back. It is not as simple as imagined to accurately hit the vital point in a mobile battle. so. Even though this is a secret that everyone knows, in fact, ordinary players can only play helpless wars of attrition with the bosses. Only a small group of top players can really carry out critical attacks. Of course, the total number of this so-called small group of top players is actually quite large. There are such people in many large and medium-sized guilds, but there are not too many of them when divided among each guild. Moreover, even players who can perform critical attacks must be graded. Like me and Kristina. As long as you catch an opportunity, you can kill it with one strike. Basically, as long as you spot the opportunity and hit it, most of the battle will be over. But after all, the two of us are one or two on the combat power list, and most players can't do this kind of thing. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the so-called players who can perform critical attacks can occasionally hit one or two hits to significantly reduce the monster's combat power and health. In the end, they still have to slowly wear the boss to death through exhaustion.

In view of the above reasons. All players must try to use vital attacks to cause as much damage to monsters as possible whenever possible. I won't be able to do this stably until I reach level 800, but after that, I can basically do it with ordinary bosses or small bosses, as long as they are not powerful names that everyone in the world is familiar with, or hidden super bosses. An easy move in seconds. This is not entirely because of my high attack power, but mainly because I can hit the target every time. Otherwise, with the super vitality of those monsters. Even with my attack power, it is impossible to kill them without dozens of effective hits.

However, the current situation can be said to be terrible. Kristina and I are both only two inches tall. An attack of this size is impossible to cause a critical attack in any case. Even if it hits the heart or throat, the length of the weapon in our hands will never penetrate the real vital point. It is impossible to kill an enemy by pricking a needle a few millimeters deep into his throat. Besides...who can tell me where the spider's throat and heart are?

If you can't carry out critical attacks, you can only spend it hard. It’s just the vitality of this monster…

"Where's that thing?" Since we have to fight, there is no need to hide. I directly started asking the Queen of Lilliput about the whereabouts of the strange spider, because we still haven’t seen the monster that should have appeared here.

The Queen of Lilliput was also very confused about our question, because under normal circumstances, after we enter this range, we don't need to look for it at all, the thing will come out on its own initiative.

"It's strange! Usually the monster always pops out on its own immediately. What's going on today?" The mage who was following the Queen asked in confusion.

While we were wondering where the monster had gone, we suddenly heard a very harsh scream coming from the front. The sound sounded a bit like a pig's cry. Of course, it was not the grunt of contentment that a pig makes when eating, but a squeal similar to that of a pig being killed. But that's not all the sound is. Just when I heard the scream, another roar-like sound followed immediately.

"Is this...?" Kristina suddenly frowned and asked after listening for a while: "How many monsters are here?"

The Queen of Lilliput said uncertainly: "Because there should be only one spider monster. Our people have passed here no less than ten thousand times, and we have never found any creature other than the spider monster!"

"Isn't this what I found?" I said to the children around me: "Wait here and don't move. I'll go see what's going on." After saying that, I called directly to the children without waiting for an answer. De Asuka jumped up. Kristina quickly grabbed my arm and jumped up. The bird immediately accelerated and shot away, flying directly in the direction of the sound. But before we could fly too far, the monster on the opposite side appeared first.

After a burst of flying sand and rocks, the cave in front seemed to have been blasted in a directional manner. A large group of rubbles flew out together with a large amount of dust, and behind these things were two entangled bodies. figure. However, before the two figures landed, they immediately separated in the air and became two individuals that landed separately. At this time, we finally saw clearly what the flying thing was.

There are two creatures that just appeared, and the one with its back to us is a relatively common giant spider, although I don't know what kind of monster it is. But monsters with similar shapes are very common in the game, and they basically belong to a subspecies of a known monster group. If nothing unexpected happens. The spider monster with its back to us should be the creature that the Queen of Lilliput said they often encountered before. As for the other one...

To be honest, I don't know what kind of creature this is. First of all, the appearance of this thing is completely unlike anything on earth. Although there are all kinds of strange creatures in the game, and of course there are some quite strange-looking creatures among them, the one in front of you is still considered a very rare creature.

First of all, this creature is not much smaller than the spider monster, at least the size of a miniature family car. In addition, this guy's body structure is also very special. It has a main trunk similar to a peanut, which is a structure with large ends and a thin middle. However, since the two ends are basically the same size, it is completely impossible to tell which of the two ends is the head and which is the tail.

There are a total of sixteen pairs of limbs growing on this strange peanut-shaped torso, which means a total of thirty-two extended moving parts. But these moving parts are not neatly arranged structures that grow underneath the body like a centipede's legs. Instead, they are randomly distributed in all directions on the body of this creature without any pattern at all.

In addition to these limbs growing in strange positions, its limb structure is also strange. The limbs of this thing are not the structure of an arthropod, but a structure similar to that of an amphibian, which is a structure closer to our mammals. Each of its limbs is composed of three joints, and has a large range of movement. There is a foot-like structure growing on the tips of the limbs, but the structure of the sole of the foot is very similar to that of a frog. Not only are the knuckles distributed, but there are also webs between them.

Based on the presence of this kind of flippers, it can be judged that this creature can probably move underwater. In fact, its skin also proves this, because its skin looks similar to that of a frog, and it seems to be a kind of animal with a Slippery skin with mucus. Moreover, there are a large number of yellow-green spots on the surface of this layer of skin, which looks slightly disgusting.

If it were the above structures alone, the shape of this creature could only be said to be rather strange, but if coupled with the fact that no other organs could be found, it would be really weird. In fact, not only is the head and tail indistinguishable from this creature, but even the eyes, ears, mouth and nose cannot be seen. It can be said that this creature does not have the two things that a creature needs most - Feeding port and excretory port.

No matter what creature. Unless you can perform photosynthesis like a plant, or simply perform intracellular reactions, you need to take in energy from the outside. And if you want to absorb energy from the outside, then the most basic thing is to have an energy material intake port, which is the mouth in the popular sense. Of course, if it is a silicon-based life form, a power interface will be enough. But the problem is that this thing is obviously a carbon-based life form, so this thing must need to eat. but. We can't find anything that can be regarded as an oral cavity on this thing, and its skin even looks like it is completely sealed, with no gaps or openings at all.

We really don't want to encounter this kind of weird creature, because any such irregular creature has almost no weaknesses. Although the creatures on the earth look different, they still have a lot in common in the process of evolution. Most of the monsters in the game are imagined and expanded based on the existing creatures on the earth. Therefore, even if those monsters look weird, they can usually find the approximate key locations. But this creature doesn't even know where its head is. How do you want to find the key points?

"What a strange creature!" Kristina said, looking at the unknown creature that fell on the ground in front of her.

I originally wanted to say something to Kristina, but suddenly I saw the unknown creature over there suddenly lifted its body a little higher, and it looked like it was about to jump. Therefore, I made a prompt decision and pushed Kristina back onto Asuka's back, and then ordered Asuka to turn away at maximum speed.

Facts have proved that my decision was very correct. The unknown creature actually jumped up as we turned, and at the same time at least three long legs stretched out towards us. The structure of this guy's feet is similar to that of a frog, but the phalanges seem to be more flexible. There is also obviously the ability to grasp. However, the speed and flexibility of the flying bird are not limited. After the size is reduced, the thrust-to-weight ratio is increased. The result is that our speed rises instead of falling, and we are out of the attack range of that guy in the blink of an eye.

When the unknown creature here failed to launch a surprise attack on us, the spider monster over there also started to move at the same time, but its target was not us, but the unknown creature in front of us. The spider monster suddenly jumped in the direction of the unknown creature and shot out a thread of spider silk while still in the air. Then he staged a real version of Spider-Man, directly sticking the spider silk to the ceiling of the cave, and then swinging over like Tarzan.

Because it took the last step to jump, the spider monster had completely grasped the trajectory of the unknown creature over there, so it immediately threw it to the ground. However, the unknown creature did not surrender after being thrown down from the air. Instead, he took advantage of his many legs to step on and kick the spider monster. Although it has no claws, the strength of the limbs of this unknown creature is obviously not small. The spider monster has obviously successfully pushed the unknown creature to the ground, but it is unable to launch the final blow.

The spider's last blow is obviously its fangs or the stings on its tail, but both of these things grow on its torso and are relatively short. It requires the body to be close to the unknown creature before it can attack. but. The resistance of the unknown creature made it impossible for the spider monster to bring its body close to it, so its fangs and stings were useless and it had to rely on itself. The eight sharp blades were used to cut this unknown creature. However, this blade foot that could have caused a lot of damage to the enemy turned into a useless prop when it encountered this unknown creature, because the skin on the body of this unknown creature is not only super elastic, but also extremely tough and deadly. The thing is that the layer of mucus on the surface of this thing's skin is actually very slippery. The spider is so weird that after the knife foot is pierced into the body of this unknown creature, the tip of the knife cannot penetrate at all. It will slip with just a little force, and it will completely slip. There's nothing the guy can do.

"What should we do now?" Looking at the stalemate between the two monsters over there, Kristina asked me what I should do.

I looked at the monster over there and started to feel a little embarrassed. To be honest, from a rational point of view, I would prefer to kill the spider monster first. The reason for this view is mainly because the spider monster's attack just now has fully proved that this unknown creature is actually inferior to this spider monster in terms of mobile combat. In other words, this creature's combat power should be lower than that of the spider. Strange. However, although rationally I felt that this was the way to go, emotionally and with my sixth sense, I felt that I should kill the unknown creature first.

I can understand the emotional judgment myself, because the shape of this creature is too weird, so it has an impact on my biological instinct, so much so that I instinctively hate this shape and hope to eliminate it directly. However, the aggressive impulse regarding the sixth sense makes me a little confused.

It is said that my sixth sense is still very strong, but that is in reality. Although I can often make correct judgments in games, those are the results of reasonable predictions. It's not a sixth sense. However, now I really feel that this creature should be eliminated immediately.

I have no idea why I think this way, but since I already think so, I'll just do it. Anyway, the order should have little impact on the entire battle situation.

After making up my mind, I immediately took Kristina and started to fly in the direction of the two fighting monsters. However, Kristina immediately stood up from the back of the bird after we completed the turn, and then spread the wings behind her. , tap your feet lightly on the bird's back. The body immediately detached from the bird's back due to air resistance.

Without Kristina on Asuka, my worries are gone. Directly let the flying bird accelerate forward. At the same time, I stood up from the bird's back, but instead of jumping off, I inserted my feet into the grooves on the bird's back and fixed them, so that I wouldn't be thrown off without using my hands and could stand on the side. Asuka fights on his back.

After confirming that I was fixed, the flying bird's speed suddenly increased, and I directly turned the eternity in my hand into a long knife more than ten times the length of my body, and then placed the long knife horizontally on the side of my body and commanded The flying bird immediately rushed up and flew past the side of the unknown creature's body.

Because I kept the ever-changing blade lying across it, when the bird flew past the unknown creature, eternity naturally cut through that guy's body. It was different from the futile attack of that spider monster. Eternity will not be able to cut in just because the opponent's skin is tough. It is not an easy task to make Eternity slip. Yours must have corresponding laws. After all, eternity is a law-based weapon, and it cannot be easily carried by anything.

Because our speed was so fast, when Feiniao and I cut open the side of the unknown creature's body and got out of the attack range, the unknown creature began to scream violently, and at the same time, a long line gradually appeared on its skin. Long thin lines. Then fluorescent green slime began to flow out of the thin line, with some small particles that looked like glowing light signs.

Obviously, the attack I just made caused this guy to bleed, and the wound was very huge. However, what surprised me was that I originally thought that I would take advantage of the victory and kill the unknown creature directly. After the unknown creature was injured, it actually gave up the attack. Then it jumped back several times as if it was frightened and hid in the corner over there.

"Holy shit! I'm in big trouble!" If I didn't know what was going on after seeing this, there was something wrong with my head, so I didn't hesitate at all and shouted directly to Kristina: "Kristina, everything is wrong. Azimuth shield!”

Kristina's battlefield instincts are very good, so she actually started preparing before I called out. Thanks to Kristina's high reaction speed, Kristina just completed the magic. After a light blue light shield completely enveloped the unknown creature, the creature suddenly began to expand. It was like pouring some kind of acid on the surface of an object, and then the object began to dissolve and bubble at the same time. However, the unknown creature did not dissolve during this process, but simply produced a lot of bubble-like things. And these things are still piled up layer by layer, and finally the entire corpse of the unknown creature has completely turned into a huge sarcoma, which feels like a huge pile of small pieces of meat. The fleshy bubble tissue looks as disgusting as possible.

Just after this disgusting group of meat gradually increased and finally expanded to seven or eight times the size of the unknown creature's corpse, the creature's body finally reached its limit, and then there was only a loud bang, and the thing exploded. Come, all kinds of disgusting organs mixed with mucus are flying around. Fortunately, Kristina completed the magic barrier in advance, so the pieces of meat that flew out were all blocked. And because the magic barrier has no adhesion, So they all fell to the ground. However, when these things touched the ground, we immediately understood why the spider monster had run so far.

After the corpse fragments of the unknown creature were blocked and slid to the ground, all the ground that came into contact with the mucus or pieces of flesh immediately began to sink downwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time there was a burst of chichi from the ground. The sound was like cold water touching red-hot iron.

Such a terrifying reaction has proved that the corpse of the unknown creature is highly corrosive. Even the spider monster over there was frightened and hid far away. But what makes me strange is that this monster is obviously It was just a cut in my skin, so he wouldn't die so easily, right? To say what I said before. Of course I don't think so. With my attributes, it is absolutely normal for me to drop a monster like this in seconds. But the problem is that my current attributes are only 1% of the usual ones! In this case, the monster in front of me was killed by me with just one blow, which was quite strange.

Although the death of the unknown creature was very strange, I didn't care about it. First of all, I thought that this thing might have consumed most of its health points when fighting the spider monster before. On the other hand, it might also be the monster itself. The characteristic of a balloon is that it will die immediately once its skin is punctured.

Although it is impossible to confirm what caused the death of the unknown creature. But the key issue now is not the unknown creature, but the spider monster over there.

According to the Queen of Lilliput. The fighting power of this spider monster is very powerful. According to their speculation, even if they copy some of my attributes, their soldiers will probably still need tens of thousands of people to join forces to hope to kill this monster, and during this period there will be quite a huge amount of damage. of casualties.

In view of this judgment of the Queen of Lilliput, I probably defined this spider monster as a monster of about a thousand levels. Monsters of this level are not considered high-level monsters in the eyes of current ordinary players. As long as the level is not too low, players can generally defeat monsters of this level in single combat. However, currently we only have two inches of height left. You can imagine how difficult it would be to fight a creature as big as a car with someone of this stature. Moreover. Our attributes have also been suppressed to the point where only one percent remains. Under such circumstances, dealing with a level 1,000 monster is no less difficult than having me in my heyday deal with a level 5,000 or 6,000 monster.

That's what I thought originally, but what surprised us again was that after the corpse of the unknown creature exploded, the spider turned around and ran towards the depths of the cave. At first, Kristina and I stared at that side for fear that the other party was just going to change the direction and start fighting, but who knew that this guy ran over in one breath and disappeared.

"Hey, Her Majesty the Queen. Can I ask what this situation is?"

The queen obviously didn't know how to explain my question, but the mage beside her cautiously concluded that it might be because of the exploding corpse.

I originally suspected that there was something wrong with the body of the unknown creature. Now that I heard the other party say this, I simply took this opportunity and ran over to study it. Of course, while we are studying this thing, the soldiers of the Lilliput Kingdom cannot be idle. They are responsible for cutting off the spider silk and clearing a passage for us to get out.

The examination of the corpse of the unknown creature went very quickly, because we soon discovered that this thing was almost impossible to examine, because it was evaporating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon completely disappeared on the ground. But these things were hours ago. The ground where they are located has sunk more than a meter deep due to the presence of these things.

A depth of more than one meter is simply a sinkhole for us now, and even with the size of that monster, it can corrode a large pit one meter deep on the limestone ground. The acidic power of this guy Strongness is also evident.

Because the corpse evaporated quickly, our research could only be abandoned. Fortunately, the soldiers were very fast and had already cleared a passage by this time.

In fact, opening the passage closed by spider silk is not as complicated as imagined. These Lilliputian soldiers obviously often encountered the spider monster's silk, so they even brought special medicine specifically designed to deal with this guy's spider silk. This drug seems to be able to carry out some kind of chemical reaction with spider silk. Spider silk, which is originally sticky and very tough, will immediately turn into a substance that has no stickiness at all, and is as elastic as a shortbread as soon as it comes into contact with this kind of thing. In this case, what the soldiers really have to do is to pour the medicine on Zhusi, then wait a few seconds and then go up and tap it gently.

Using this method, the soldiers could move forward almost at a speed no slower than walking, and we quickly passed through the blocked area and reached the outside of the cave.

The outside of this cave is indeed a valley. Because the entrance of the cave is relatively high, you can see most of the inside of the valley from here.

This valley is surrounded by mountains, and there are no open exits. It is estimated that there may be no other entrances and exits except the passage we entered. certainly. Even if there were other entrances and exits, they would probably be secret passages or something like that.

The area of ​​the valley itself is not very large, and the environment within it is not very complicated. There is a small lake that is not too big under the mountain opposite us, and around this lake is a large green space, and near the entrance of our cave is basically a large forest, but in these forests The plant density is not very high, and the trees here do not grow very tall.

certainly. The so-called not very tall is based on the standards of normal people. With our current heights, these things are no longer a big problem. With our current height of two inches. Even short shrubs can be considered big trees, and plants with a height of more than two meters can basically be considered towering trees to us. As for these trees, which are generally four or five meters high... they are nothing in normal times, but from our current perspective, they are almost as big as the World Tree.

"President, have you sensed an abnormal fluctuation here?" Kristina asked as soon as she left the cave entrance.

After hearing Kristina's question, I also frowned and said, "I just discovered it. It seems that we were locked by something as soon as we entered here."

"Can you sense being locked?" the Queen of Lilliput who had been following us suddenly asked.

I turned to look at her in confusion and asked, "Didn't the previous players feel this way?"

The Queen of Lilliput nodded and said: "You are obviously different from ordinary outsiders, right from the beginning in the Canyon of Behemoths. Everything you do and all the results you get are the same as what we have encountered before. Those outsiders are different. Although everyone's outsiders we met before have achieved different levels, their processes are all the same. Only the situation on your side is completely chaotic. It is basically the same as before This has never happened before. We don't even know if we should take you to the next step."

"What's the next step?" I looked at the Queen of Lilliput in confusion and asked, "Are you still responsible for being a guide?"

The Queen of Lilliput nodded and said: "Not only are we responsible for being your guide, according to the ancient covenant, we also need to make our final contribution to you, and this process may cause a large number of casualties to our personnel. Of course, because of this This is your outstanding performance in the first level, so even if we fail all subsequent levels this time, our gains will be much greater than what those outsiders brought us before."

The explanation of the Queen of Lilliput does not help us understand what the subsequent tasks will be like. On the contrary, it made us even more confused. After Kristina continued to ask, the Queen of Lilliput simply told us not to ask for now. We will naturally understand when we get to the place.

When we agreed not to ask questions, the Queen of Lilliput immediately began to direct her troops to be divided into two parts. One part was about 10,000 people, and the rest were all assigned to the second team.

Although the number of these ten thousand troops is relatively small. But it can be seen that almost all the strongest troops in the entire 500-man legion are here. Although the remaining ones are not a mixed army, they are obviously weaker than these 10,000 people.

After the two teams separated, the Queen of Lilliput began to command the team of 10,000 people to follow us and continue to move forward, while the huge legion disbanded on the spot and began to run into the forest. Seeing that the troops did not follow up, Kristina asked the Queen of Lilliput in confusion: "Why are they dispersed? Aren't they afraid of monster attacks?"

The Queen of Lilliput said with a smile: "From the moment we come out of the cave to the location we are going to, everything here is harmless. So even if they are allowed to act alone now, there will be no danger. On the contrary. , it’s actually us who are really in danger.”

"you?"

"Yes." The female mage who followed the queen said: "We will be your chess pieces and complete the life and death battle flag for you. If we pass, you can pass. If we fail, you will pass. You can only go back the way you came, and each of you will have to experience a roulette game with only a one-third probability. The loser will die here, and the winner will just be allowed to leave. The mission remains a failure.”

"You mean we'll encounter a chessboard later?" I asked in surprise.

The Queen of Lilliput thought for a while and said: "It is indeed a chessboard, but instead of using ordinary chess pieces, we use warriors from the giant race to act as chess pieces, and you outsiders have to act as chess players. Of course, You can also choose to end the battle on your own. It’s just that the outsiders before you didn’t have the slightest fighting power and were completely sealed. So they didn’t choose to end the battle on their own. And even if they could, I don’t think they would do that. , because if you just play chess on the sidelines, even if you fail, you still have a one-third chance of surviving, but if you go directly to fight, all the chess pieces of the losing side will be killed. So... "

"How cruel!" A child couldn't help but said.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" The team leader's mother, who had been silent, quickly comforted the child, and Kristina also turned around and said a few words of comfort to the child.

Watch them busy coaxing the children. But I was thinking about the chessboard and asked about the rules of the chessboard. The Queen of Lilliput knows this chessboard very well, because these guys who call themselves giants have sacrificed at least tens of thousands of warriors on this chessboard.

Based on the explanation of the layout and rules of this chessboard by the Queen of Lilliput and the wizard around me, I gradually began to understand the general situation of this chessboard.

First of all, it can be determined that this is not any kind of battle flag tabletop game that we usually see, because its rules have nothing in common with the games we know. In fact, I think the rules of this chessboard are more like putting a war on a miniature sandbox. It feels like the real-time strategy games of the past have been brought to life. Of course, this game doesn't require you to build things quickly. The requirements for chess players are only the level of your commanding ability.

However, although this chessboard requires players to play chess next to it, your chess skills actually do not have a huge impact on this battle situation, because the chess pieces on this chessboard are not dead objects, but alive. The chess pieces used by our side are these Lilliputian warriors. It is said that the opponent's chess pieces are different every time. It is always changing, and there is no pattern to follow. Even the number and overall combat effectiveness are not fixed. Anyway, it basically depends on luck. Sometimes if you are lucky, the opponent will only send a small number of low-level units, and sometimes if you are unlucky, you will encounter a large group of high-level creatures.

When the war chess is going on, both sides will only move one unit, that is, one chess piece at a time. The movement range of this chess piece and what it can do depend on its own attributes, because each move of a chess piece on this chessboard is not calculated according to the number of squares, but according to time. In other words, when it is your turn to move, once your order is issued, your soldiers must move as quickly as possible within the specified time. How far he can run within this time is his movement range, and if he wants to attack the opponent's chess pieces, the opponent will automatically gain the right to move. However, the attacked chess piece can only defend and is not allowed to counterattack and damage the attacking chess piece. Moreover, the attacked piece cannot escape and can only move within ten steps around the attacked position. If the attacked piece does not die after the action time of this round is up, then it will be considered a failure to capture the piece. If your piece is not strong enough, it may even happen that all your pieces surround one of the opponent's pieces in a round battle but still cannot capture the opponent. Case.

Based on this rule, I feel that what really determines the victory of this battle is not the intelligence of the players but their own attributes. Because no matter how chess players play, weak chess pieces cannot defeat a super strong opponent in one game, and because only one chess piece can move at a time, the idea of ​​superior strength basically does not exist. At most, it can be relied on. It's just a wheel battle to consume the opponent's physical strength. But in this case, the reliance on tactics is actually very thin.

On the contrary, unlike the tactical needs, the own chess pieces on the chessboard are Lilliputian warriors who have absorbed part of their own strength. Therefore, if the player's own strength is strong enough, then these chess pieces will become extremely sturdy. In this case, if the opponent's chess piece is relatively weak, you can even push it all the way with a piece. So, to put it bluntly, this kind of board game is about fighting to see whose attributes are strong enough, and the tactical requirements are really minimal.

We were quite worried about this situation at first, but after listening to the explanation of the Queen of Lilliput, we were not afraid anymore. If we were just playing chess, we would still fail against the masters. After all, Kristina and I are not professional chess players. What’s even worse is that we have never even heard of this chess before. In this case, it is pure nonsense to expect us to be very good at chess.

However, if we are competing for attributes, the attributes of Kristina and I represent the pinnacle of player attributes. If we can't even pass the attributes of both of us, it means that no player can pass. Since this mission has been released, of course it cannot be unsolvable, and as long as there is someone who can pass it, it must be me and Kristina. After all, this is a battle chess to compete for attributes!

"Okay, it's there." After the Queen of Lilliput explained the rules of the chessboard to us, we finally passed through most of the valley and arrived at the small lake we saw before.

"What are we going to do now?" Kristina turned around and asked when the team stopped at the edge of the small lake.

The Queen of Lilliput did not directly return our words, but extended her hand to indicate. A soldier standing in the front row immediately took out two stones of unknown material and bumped them against each other. No sound was heard, and no magic wave was generated. However, just after the two stones collided, the small lake in front suddenly started rolling. I saw a huge head rising up from the water on the other side of the lake, close to the cliff. And because this head left the water, the lake water began to drop rapidly. After the lake water dropped, in the center of the lake, A huge white marble platform actually appeared. The size is almost equivalent to a small football field.

"Is this the chessboard?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation...)
