Chapter 178 The Eve of the Decisive Battle
Accompanied by the bass mix of old video games and the sound of square wave-style electronic music, the march called "Grand Strategy German Electric Operation" (Pax Germana) resounded in the quiet room. If it weren't for the soundproof barrier, the entire Ryudo Temple would be awakened by this exciting music.
"... Lost." After the last force was defeated by the NAZI Corps, Weber put down the SEGA game controller in his hand and covered his face in a very autistic manner.
The duel event he finally chose was the video game that ran counter to his career as a magician: "Grand Strategy".
"Grand Strategy" is a strategy game with the background of World War II. Because Rider likes to play this game and pulls Weber to play it, over time, Weber also has some experience with this game.
I thought that Shuoyue was so good at magic because he must have learned magic since he was a child and didn't pay attention to modern life at all (for example, the suits and kimonos were not ordinary clothes at all). But I didn't expect that although he had never played "Grand Strategy", he was extremely talented in the game. He was in a stalemate with Weber in the second round and narrowly won. In the third round, he was even more crushing, using blitz and interspersed tactics to defeat Weber. Even Rider's off-court guidance was useless.
"It's okay, didn't you win a round from me at the beginning?" Shuoyue hummed a song and completely destroyed Weber's city. After seeing the big victory interface pop up, he was finally satisfied, "I am willing to accept the loss. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"You just suffered from unfamiliarity with the game in the first round? You beat me in the second round. I played with Rider for a while..." Weber sighed in shock, but still did not forget to order, "I want steak. Japan is really an expensive place. I will be grateful for beef after returning to London.
"I want meatball risotto! Don't forget to add fish sauce and wine, they are great side dishes! "Iskander raised his hand like a primary school student, and then fell into deep thought, "If we gave up the pursuit at that time and intercepted the reconnaissance plane instead, would the front line not be disrupted... Alas, I am not used to the high-tech reconnaissance plane."
"Don't think too much, King of Conquerors, the strategies in the game are just paper talk in reality, and what about the drinks." Shuoyue said ruthlessly, "There are still minors tonight, and you can drink whatever you want after the decisive battle tomorrow."
"Uh-huh, I know. "Even the King of Conquerors has to bow down to the chef who controls the food.

[Hidden record condition 4*, completed. ]
[Reward: 'Military Strategy' adaptability! ]
Military Strategy, which is the B-level job-related skill held by the King of Conquerors Iskandar Yes, it is not a one-on-one battle, but a group battle with a keen sense of tactics, which has additional effects on our use of military treasures and the opponent's ability to defend against military treasures.
Although the reward is good, is this hidden information serious... Shuoyue's mouth twitched slightly, but when he recalled Alexander in his childhood and Iskandar, who was now tall and strong and whose skill "Red-faced Beautiful Boy" had disappeared, he suddenly understood Faker's complicated feelings when he said this.
Recovering his mind, Shuoyue re-invested in the preparation of dinner, and soon announced that it was finished.
"It's time to eat--"
As the saying goes Not being active in eating, something is wrong with the brain. Saber, who had been guarding the table, could not wait any longer. Rider and Waver sat down next to each other in the sound of footsteps. Hisayu Maiya came with his wife, and finally Miyu threw herself into Sakutsuki's arms. After being secretly fed a piece of chocolate cake, she sat with her brother contentedly, clasping her hands together.
"I'm going to start~"
On the last night before the decisive battle, no one quarreled, no one was on guard, and the three groups of participants gathered together to enjoy the beauty of this encounter.
And all of this was the result of a certain young man.
"......?" Sakutsuki raised his head in confusion when he noticed Iskandar's gaze.
"What's the matter, King of Conquerors?"
"Yes, there is something I need to tell you." Iskandar put down the tableware and his face became serious.
"In tomorrow's battle, I will take the lead in fighting Archer - I hope to face the King of Heroes who has no consumption. "
The atmosphere at the table was slightly stagnant, and everyone looked at Rider with respect.
He actually chose to take the lead in a showdown with the demigod Archer. This kind of arrogance was exactly what convinced everyone of this king's arrogance.
"Then, I wish you good luck in martial arts."
————
Archer opened his eyes.
In the lightless darkness, his eyes were as bright as blood.
Because he lost his contract, he had to stay in his spiritual veins to maintain his peak condition.
"Are you going to challenge the chef's Liudong Temple when you lose your master? Huh, use this boring trial to test me. Forget it, even though it makes people unhappy, I will accept it."
No matter how bored you are, since it is a test from God, you cannot escape it. His destiny as the King of Heroes brought a smile to Gilgamesh's face.
"Then, wash your neck and wait for the enemies who dare to stand in front of me."
————
The golden pupils reflected the silver moon.
The white-haired Wu Ming looked up at the moon, as if the bright moon itself was hiding his past and his life.
"Have you finally waited for this moment..." A murmur like a double voice echoed in the night sky. Beside him, the Moon Spirit Spear shone slightly, flowing with a mixture of warmth and coldness.
Caressing the orb at the front of the spear, Wuming blinked, his eyes returned to their original color, and his voice returned to a cold tone.
"Can you catch up? The only chosen one... No, you must catch up."
The Wuming man looked at the laughing people in the window, a daze flashed in his eyes, and finally locked his eyes on Miyu.
His body suddenly glowed with a brilliance that did not belong to this world and came from an alien star.
"Accept my philosophy, and then become my subordinate with your own will, Miyu Edelfeldt..."
TIP: The old version of grand strategy was a level system. Here I have slightly modified it and added a confrontational gameplay similar to "Hearts of Iron".
