Chapter 539: War Chess Game
"The final trial?"
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "The battle behind is not going to continue?"
The flame man pointed to the direction opposite him and motioned for Gu Sanqiu to sit down.
"Playing chess is also a battle."
Gu Sanqiu sat down obediently, and then his eyes subconsciously fell on the cup of fire next to him.
Drink more hot water?
I guess magma is not as exciting as the cup of stuff in front of me!
"Let's get started."
"Then I'll be welcome."
Gu Sanqiu made his move and the moment the chess piece landed on the board, a huge suction force suddenly came from the board, sucking away part of his elemental power.
At the same time, the chessboard expanded countless times in an instant, and the chess piece that had just landed turned into a team of armored cavalry. The war horses under their crotches were snorting impatiently, as if they could no longer suppress their desire to charge forward.
"War chess?"
Gu Sanqiu was not frightened by this scene. After all, the big guys always had the ability to simulate the general trend of the world by playing chess. He was mentally prepared for this.
Elemental power surged into his eyes, and Gu Sanqiu looked at the container containing chess pieces next to him. Each chess piece inside had changed.
Infantry, cavalry, mixed infantry and cavalry units, etc., and even elephant soldiers riding elephants, a special type of troops that only exist in some areas.
Just with a cursory glance, you can already see almost all types of troops.
"As expected, you are the God of War."
Gu Sanqiu sighed, and then didn't care whether the fire man in front of him responded to him, but took out the chess pieces and continued to arrange them.
Although this operation is not much different from operations such as "undoing a move" and "giving up a piece", Gu Sanqiu already knew what the other party meant.
This game of chess is not about one player moving back and forth step by step. The God of Fire is going to set up his troops and play a game of war with his opponent!
In essence, this scene should be called a special version of the endgame.
"Chan" means that the chess situation between the two sides has not yet determined the winner.
But the positions of both sides are "complete", and the so-called endgame is just a definition of the whole.
The consumption of elemental power was quite large, and Gu Sanqiu subconsciously picked up the cup next to him and took a sip of water.
This was a habitual action he and Sister Ningguang would follow when playing Liyue Millennium, because they were always surrounded by a supply of the finest tea and snacks.
Wait!
Gu Sanqiu immediately covered his throat with his other hand.
Did he do something extraordinary?
However, the expected plot of "burning through the body" did not appear. Instead, there was an illusion of soaking in a hot spring from the inside out, and the elemental power in the body was recovering rapidly.
Gu Sanqiu glanced at the teacup, and the flame inside slowly rose and became full again.
So that's how it is.
This chessboard is quite special, as the deployment of troops and formations requires elemental power.
If there were no props that could replenish his magic, based on the difference in strength between him and the God of Fire, a combination of a round-robin battle and human wave tactics would be enough to beat him to death.
The God of Fire also moved. He casually grabbed a handful of chess pieces and scattered them onto the board, arranging the troops in an instant.
The corner of Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched. Was he being shown off invisibly?
Is this the value ?
whoosh!
Waves of arrows were released into the sky, and the sound of cavalry stepping on the ground rumbled as they began to rush towards Gu Sanqiu's camp!
"Heh, there was no sign of war at all, which is consistent with real war."
Gu Sanqiu's mind moved the chess pieces, and rows of pre-set chevaux de frise were erected, blocking the cavalry's path.
"But I don't intend to talk to you about martial ethics."
The chess pieces behind the chevaux de frise came to life , and teams of soldiers pushed crossbows to the designated location and shot violent giant arrows at the heavy cavalry team!
The God of Fire waved his hand lightly, and a group of mages walked out from the infantry regiment behind the heavy cavalry. The two elements of water and ice combined to freeze the attack of the crossbow.
Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched.
You are the God of Fire!
What were you using just now!
This series of operations took place almost simultaneously, which means that when Vulcan used the heavy cavalry to charge head-on , he must have thought of a series of situations and had already prepared a team of God's Eye owners waiting there for Gu Sanqiu.
Two teams of light cavalry rushed out from the flanks, and the fiery red smoke was like a raging flame behind the troops. They rushed towards the waist of the Vulcan camp and intercepted the large force that followed the heavy cavalry and advanced.
"You have a foul move and I have one too."
A team of rock elemental god's eye owners and warlocks chanted spells and set up new terrain obstacles in the open position ahead.
The ice element blew past, and the heavy cavalry, which was already struggling to move, had to guard against slipping. It could be said that the advantages and functions of the heavy cavalry had been completely locked up by Gu Sanqiu!
He had been on guard against this move by the God of Fire.
During the battle with Narsus, Gu Sanqiu came to an interesting conclusion before arranging the chess pieces, that is, no matter how polite these people spoke, they were all quite knowledgeable and reckless men when they fought.
If the scale of the battle is escalated to the level of war, the probability that Vulcan will use heavy cavalry to charge is quite high.
This wave, this wave is a stab in the back from his own people!
Relying on its high mobility, the light cavalry has already rushed to both sides of the Vulcan camp, and is expanding its victory in the form of roundabout attacks!
"The central army does not move, and the flank army moves forward."
Gu Sanqiu tapped the chessboard, and arrows shot out from the impregnable position, officially beginning the attack on the God of Fire's camp.
"I won't let you."
The God of Fire suddenly said something out of the blue, and then the entire camp seemed to come alive, with flames representing momentum rising into the sky!
The whole army is pressing forward!
Gu Sanqiu frowned, but was not affected by the words of the God of Fire. Instead, he continued to calmly deploy his troops, trying to achieve his goal.
"The chariots are out."
The tank troops moved forward slowly. The ferocious muzzles and the powerful heat from the rear of the vehicles represented the powerful force they contained.
"Bad chess."
The God of Fire chuckled. As the commander of the entire army, she displayed immense strength. It didn't take long for her to completely wipe out Gu Sanqiu's light cavalry unit, with only some routine casualties.
If Gu Sanqiu's flank army was like an arrow, then the Vulcan army was like soft and sticky slime. Not only did it withstand the kinetic energy of the arrow without disrupting its formation, it even launched a powerful counterattack!
The chariot slowly stopped at the designated location, and the elemental crystals inside began to charge, firing directly at the Vulcan's central military tent!
Attack the enemy and you will rescue them!
With the artillery fire, the central army tent and the commander's flag were successfully destroyed by Gu Sanqiu, but the Vulcan's army was not affected and continued to advance and engage in battle with the side army!
"All troops are on the march!"
Gu Sanqiu also knew that now was the time for hand-to-hand combat, and he sent out all his troops without hesitation.
The assault team composed of infantry, cavalry, warlocks, and owners of the Eye of God, the entire army attacks!
"Do you know why it doesn't work?"
The God of Fire looked at Gu Sanqiu and smiled.
"The rules of war are written in the bodies of living things. The defeated become the embers of war, and the victors reignite it."
"This is my way of fighting, and this is the truth my people uphold."
"Now that the battle has begun, no matter what happens, from the military to the individual, there is only one goal."
"That's winning, kid."
