I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"That's not chess...yet."

"but?"

Cheng Rang smirked, and a huge stone platform rose from the ground with a snap of his fingers, with black and white squares similar to chess on it.

"I have a new game to introduce to you."

Twisted lines like tree roots support the flat chessboard, surrounded by broken swords and spears that resemble battlefield decorations. Beautiful black and white chess pieces like works of art rise from the falling chessboard squares.

"What's this?"

"The Demon War Chess essentially borrows some rules and ideas from chess. If you are a chess master, it should be very easy to get started. After all, you are all "geniuses", aren't you? "

Tetu stood beside the chessboard and looked at the various chess pieces on it with interest, "It looks very interesting!"

Cheng Rang said: "This is a popular war chess game from another world that tests brainpower, strategy, skills, memory, and even physical strength. Although the current chessboard is relatively simple, the complexity of the demon war chess game will vary with the two players. The strength has been further improved, in order to give you a more intuitive demonstration... Letitia."

"Want me to come?" Letitia, who was chatting quietly and eating snacks with Isabella, seemed not to have expected that she would be suddenly called upon.

She stood up and came to the other side of the demon war chess board, smoothed her skirt and sat opposite Cheng Rang, "As promised in advance, I only know how to play."

"It's just a demonstration, I will show mercy~"

"You're kidding, I'm going to kill you and leave you alone." This is the only place where Letitia likes to compete with this guy Cheng Rang. Even in simpler chess events, she is still a bad chess player. basket.

"Hahaha, come on then."

Without too much gossip, the two sides started the game directly. While moving the chess pieces, Cheng Rang explained the gameplay to the others.

"In Demon War Chess, black moves first, and the thinking time for each move after the first move must not exceed fifteen seconds, otherwise it will result in a loss. There are also two ways to win. The first one is very simple, Just like in chess, checkmate the opponent's "king". "Cheng Rang tapped the ferocious chess piece in the center of the last row with his hand. Its size and the number of squares it occupied were different from other chess pieces.

"The second type is to constantly complete the formations between chess pieces and expand the chess pieces.

Your own battlefield on the plate is roughly equivalent to leading troops to fight. In other words... fight for resource points. When the resources of the battlefield you expand are more than half that of the opponent, even if the opponent does not admit defeat, you can kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind, which is equivalent to victory. And this is the soul and interesting part of Demon War Chess. "

While chatting and laughing, Cheng Rang has completed a basic two-horse position, which consists of two identical horse-position pieces plus a knight. To put it simply, it is two "knights" in chess plus a "castle". (Rook)" occupies three specific positions on the nine-square grid chessboard. And there cannot be other chess pieces in the nine-square grid and it cannot be affected by the already unfolded battle field.

“The second post is finished.”

Following Cheng Rang's clear sound of moves and oaths, in the surprised eyes of the two blanks, the 16*8 chessboard that was originally just a flat square suddenly unfolded!

Click, click, click!

The nine-square chessboard separated from the bottom of the second horse position is cantilevered, and an additional board is expanded with a sophisticated mechanical structure. The basic chess pieces that complete the second horse position also evolve into a more arrogant and handsome "horse-riding chariot" as if the bottom line has been upgraded. knight".

"This is...an extra chessboard. Even the chess pieces have changed, and new chess pieces have appeared!?"

"Yes! When completing the battlefield, the chessboard will also expand, just like the extension of the battlefield. The game played on the main chessboard will also affect the adjacent sub-chessboards, and changes in the sub-chessboards will also Radiation reaches the entire battlefield."

"If you want to launch a more powerful battlefield, you need to carry out a higher-level deployment that requires an oath and sacrifice (abandonment)."

It was Leticia's turn to take action. She had already completed the layout of two basic battle areas in advance. In other words, as long as one chess piece was moved, two basic battle areas that were connected to each other could be achieved.

"Expand in plural, complete the three horse positions and siege machinery, discard the gargoyles."

In this way, a more powerful combination based on the two basic battle areas can be developed.

The two spliced ​​chessboards that had just risen at the same time clicked together and transformed into a circular disk. Four new chess pieces were once again held up from the four angles of the disk.

"Oath, the Watchtower Arrow Cliff is completed, shoot them!"

Leticia's white chess pieces formed an extremely majestic hanging castle, from which rain of swords shot out, shattering Cheng Rang's just-completed second-horse chariot knight to the ground.

Rick rubbed his chin, obviously completely attracted by this magnificent and sophisticated chess situation, "Is Cheng at a disadvantage...?"

"No, not at all." Hubi's eyes quickly flashed through the analysis information. She raised her finger to point to the chess piece that Cheng Rang had just smashed. The chessboard there was just empty. "If we want to launch a superior battlefield, where The grid was not enough, but now it is just right.”

Cheng Rang raised his lips and smiled: "As expected of Hubie, you can see it so quickly... That's right! The skill of "abandonment" in chess can be sublimated into a further step in the demon war chess - abandonment. area! "

Chapter 1298 Chapter 108 Is this the long-awaited famous scene? ?

When the opponent defeats his own battlefield, the vacated chessboard can just become the landing point for the chess pieces that are ready to go, just one arrow away from the string.

"Cross phase, the ballista moves to C7, and the battlefield begins!"

Rely on the opponent's battlefield to smash the chess pieces that you cannot voluntarily abandon but occupy important strategic positions, and carry out further and more deadly advanced battle fields...

"This is one of the more advanced techniques, the transformational unfolding."

As the upgrading of the chess pieces was completed, high-level chess pieces occupying a total of four squares of the Z-shaped chessboard appeared on the main chessboard battlefield. The huge ballistae's arrow tip flashed with a deadly metallic luster, and the demon-breaking ballistae pointed directly at Leticia's white body. "Demon King" chess piece!

Because the gargoyles were abandoned because of the advanced battle field, there was no chess piece in the entire attack line of the Demon-Breaking Ballista that could block this fatal attack for Letitia's Demon King. Although CheckMate was not the checkmate, she had to Use precious moves to move your own king piece to temporarily avoid the wind.

"In this way, Leticia is at a disadvantage..." Hubi looked at the current board seriously, "Although Leticia still has the upper hand in the number of high-level battlefields, in terms of the number of steps, Leticia Thea has been forced to move the king piece so that black, with Cheng as the first mover, has two more moves to effectively build than she does.”

Sora folded his arms and analyzed seriously: "So the gap will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and eventually a comeback will be achieved... Letitia has the advantage on the sub-chessboard, but the king's chess is in the last row of the main chessboard. , and the space you can move is limited. You have to think about the battles on all the battlefield chessboards at the same time. It is really a game that tests your brain power and layout... interesting. "

Cheng Rang clapped his hands and smiled: "That's right, but Leticia is just a novice who doesn't have very bright ideas in chess~"

"As expected, I can see it."

At this time, only Leticia glared at Cheng Rang with an unhappy expression, "I'm really sorry that I'm not good at chess."

"No, this is just a demonstration, don't take it too seriously!"

As the battle continued, Cheng Rang, as expected, gradually occupied important strategic positions on the main chessboard where battle fields could be deployed, and bit by bit captured Leticia's superior battle fields, thereby achieving a comeback. .

finally

Ileticia thought for too long and was unable to decide whether to make another move based on the current situation.

With a ding sound, the small clock disc in Leticia's hand completed a full circle for a total of fifteen seconds, and the huge demon battle group in front of her and around her shattered and perished.

"I lost, you can substitute."

Leticia looked at the outcome of her defeat quite openly. After all, she hadn't played Demon War Chess for a long time, so it was normal to be a little rusty. She stood up from her chair, gave up her position in the game, and went to the coffee table to continue drinking tea. .

It seemed that Isabella was getting into a conversation with Cloni.

As for Demon War Chess, there is a group of game enthusiasts gathered together.

"It really makes my blood boil. We also want to have a fight." Blank took the initiative to raise his hand to invite a fight.

"Of course, but as a veteran, I won't bully you... Let's let Rick and the others do it." Cheng Rang stood up and made room for Rick and Hubby.

"Eh~? Are you scared?"

"Provocation is useless. Demon War Chess is a miraculous game with infinite possibilities, but the gap in strength is equally obvious. For example, as humans, you cannot go without eating, drinking, or sleeping for a month... I just need to put on a complete defensive posture. If I fight you, sooner or later I will win because of the difference in physical strength." Cheng Rang smiled and waved his hand.

"——So there is such a cunning trick!?"

Cheng Rang said: "There are even more extreme things. Before playing chess, give the opponent a drink mixed with laxatives..."

"Fifteen seconds to go to the toilet is definitely not enough, right? It's simply a devil's trick!"

"After all, it's a chess game between demons and demons... Please control yourselves, chess players, and don't hit anyone on the field."

"...This should have been thought of from the beginning, brother." Bai sat in Kong's arms and reminded in a low voice: "Cheng has said from the beginning that Demon War Chess is a test of brainpower, strategy, skills, memory, and even physical strength at the same time. game."

"makes sense."

…

As the two parties took their seats, the unfolded chessboard was neatly folded back to its initial state, and the chess pieces were automatically placed again, waiting for their "commands."

Looking at the brother, sister and couple sitting opposite each other at the chessboard table, Cheng Rang sighed, patted Tetu on the shoulder and pulled him over.

"I said, you have wanted to see this scene for a long time, right?"

"Of course! I'm looking forward to what exciting games they will bring me." Tetu smiled.

"Is this a famous scene? I have to take a picture." Cheng Rang took out his cell phone with great interest and clicked a photo of the scene in front of him.

Kuang raised his head and looked at each other in tacit understanding with Rick Hubi. Kuang was the first to speak: "Since this is a world where games determine everything, do you want some luck?"

"Of course, what do you want to bet on?"

"Although this is the first time we have met, we feel very destined... If I win, you can tell me the story of the two of you. To be honest, I am very curious and looking forward to it."

Rick looked down at Hubie and said with a smile: "Okay, then if we win, you can tell me your side of the story."

"It's a deal!" Sora gave a thumbs up.

"But what if it's a draw?" Hubie tilted his head.

"If it's a draw... let your secrets continue to be kept." Cheng Rang took the initiative to step forward and act as a technical instructor and referee, "How about it?"

Sora: "I'm fine."

Hubie: "Second."

"Then, I'll toss a coin to decide which side will go first."

Cheng Rang took out a copper coin and said, "The blank will go first, and the other two will be Rick and Hubby."

With a ding, the coin bounced up by Cheng Rang, spinning in an arc in the air and falling to the back of his hand.

"Hua Mian... so blank first."

The chessboard seemed to be alive, rising with a click, twisting 180 degrees, and moving the black chess pieces to the blank space.

"After this, it is the last step before starting the game. Please swear an oath to the covenant under the witness of our two only gods."

Tetu also floated over, and even prepared potato chips, biting them with a click, "Okay~ Let's have fun together!"

"So……"

Rick stared at Sora, while Hubie and Shiro looked at each other. Where the four people's eyes met, their eyes seemed to create dazzling sparks.

They simultaneously raised their hands, palms facing outward.

"Swear to the covenant..." x4

There once was a couple, they were very strong,

Now there is a brother and sister, they are very weak.

That couple: Rick and Hubie.

The brother and sister: Sora and Shiro.

The couple bravely challenged life, tasted defeat, and finally stopped the endless war.

The brother and sister cowardly escaped from life without ever experiencing a single defeat and found it difficult to gain a foothold in the real society.

Husband and wife and brother and sister are complete opposites, yet very similar.

Husband and wife are the predecessors of brother and sister, and brother and sister are the inheritance of husband and wife.

Now, they have all come to this world, face to face.

"If it's me and Hubby, we will win no matter how many times we try."

"There is no defeat in a blank dictionary!"

Sora lifted the chess piece, as if playing a passionate drum beat, and dropped it on the black and white square, making a crisp sound.

So--

"Let the games begin!"

The game ended in an unsuspecting draw. Judging from their expressions, both sides were very happy.

"It's awesome, Blank."

Kong firmly squeezed the hand that Rick extended to him and said with a smile: "You are the same, you are worthy of being the founding king of the human race."

"The era that belongs to us will eventually pass. After seeing you, I don't worry about the future of mankind anymore."

"Hahaha, thank you so much for creating such an interesting world!"

There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever, and the moment of farewell will eventually come.

In front of the imposing gate of the royal city, Ke Long, who personally escorted Cheng Rang and his party out, sighed with emotion.
