"Tsk, it's a disturbing peace."
Walking on the dazzling stairs, looking at the light at the exit in front of them, Wang Lu could not help but sigh.
After passing through the second level of the labyrinth, the group set out for the third level. In the road of the championship trial, there was a long shining staircase between each level. Wang Lu had always suspected that the people of Holy Light Religion might not be able to bear it and would make their move at this time. However, all the way to the end, they didn't encounter the expected obstruction. Holy Light Religion seemed to be ignorant of the fact that Wang Lu had passed two levels in a row.
Although no one would hinder him, which would only make his strategy smoother, Wang Lu still felt somewhat uneasy.
At this time, Liu Li, who had the most amazing eyesight in the team, had already seen the scenery at the end. She happily said, "I see the stone door, and there are words written on it! It's the ancient language of the Western Continent, it seems to be … military strategy? "
Wang Lu was surprised. "You actually know the ancient language of the Western Continent?"
Liu Li giggled and said, "Aya gave me an ancient language dictionary a few days ago, and I have memorized it all!"
"Good, you're indeed the strongest brain." Wang Lu commented, and at the same time, he also saw the scenery at the end. In front of them, on the surface of a gray stone door, there was indeed the word "military strategy" written in quaint handwriting.
"Military strategy … Does it mean the point of this level is to show military strategy?"
Wang Lu said as he crossed the last step of the shining staircase and officially stepped on the square in front of the door. Before his voice fell, he heard a dull sound in front of him.
"Yes, the point of this level is to show military strategy."
While speaking, a wave-like ripple rippled on the surface of the stone door.
Wang Lu smiled. "Are you also punished to guard the door here because you lost Golden King's treasure?"
The stone door said, "Me? I lost a bet to Golden King and can't pay the bet, so I can only come here to accept my punishment. "
Although the sound of this stone door was dull, its character was much more lively and talkative than the first stone door.
"I was once the leader of a tribe and commanded a powerful army. I fought all over the place and conquered a large territory. Because I won every battle, I was given the title of God of War. Unfortunately, I later met the Golden King. His country and army were far superior to mine. I knew that I could not be his opponent in a head-on fight, so I made a bet with him. Both sides would bring the same sized army to fight in the Doomsday Mountain. If I won, his army would not be able to cross my border. If I lost, I would surrender on the spot. You can kill me if you want. At that time, I was confident that my ability to command was unparalleled in the world. Even the Golden King would not be able to beat me if the size of his army was the same as mine … Unfortunately, in the battle of the Doomsday Mountain Range, I was defeated by him and had to surrender. At that time, I heard that Golden King was cruel and heartless, so I thought I was going to die. However, he said that as a bastard, my military talent was rare in the world, so it would be a pity to kill me. When I heard that this seemed to be the hope of survival, I hurriedly expressed my willingness to use my talent for him. If there is any enemy, just leave it to me. In any case, although I can't beat the Golden King, I can still win every battle if I meet other people. However, Golden King sneered at this and said that if I could find an enemy worthy of his conquest, it would be considered as a meritorious deed for him. At that time, I knew that my tribe was the only force on the continent that had not surrendered to him. "
Upon hearing this, the others didn't have much reaction, but Aya was surprised. "The last tribe conquered by Golden King, you are the barbarian God of War, Tannu?"
"Oh, I can't believe that there are still people who remember my name!" The stone door Tannu looked very happy. "Hahaha, sure enough, the longer you live, the easier it is to encounter surprises. At that time, I said that I was willing to offer my ability, but Golden King said that there was no opponent worthy of his conquest on the continent. My ability was useless, so he suppressed me in his Treasure House to guard the door. Although it was a punishment, it allowed me to stay alive in the form of a stone door for thousands of years. It's more like a reward from Golden King, hahaha! "
"All right, let's get back to business." Tannu restrained his smile and seriously said, "This test is about your strategic ability. I will provide you with an army, and you just need to command these troops to defeat the opponent. That's simple, right?"
Wang Lu asked, "Simple? The opponent won't be you, right? "
Tannu laughed. "Of course it's me, otherwise, who else could it be? But don't worry, I'm here to guard the door, not to bully people. I don't bring a lot of troops, only 400 golden guardians, 30 golden warlocks, and 8 legion commanders. Moreover, I won't be here myself. "
"How many troops do we have?"
"That depends on you." Tannu said, and then ripples appeared on the surface of his body, presenting a table.
Wang Lu identified the handwriting on the table and said with some surprise, "Golden guardians, 10 logistics points, golden warlocks, 20 logistics points, legion commanders, 50 logistics points. In addition, there are archers, chariots, strange beast cavalry, and the required logistics points are different … Is this a certain number of logistics points, and then we are free to form an army?"
Tannu said, "Yes, the core of the army is the guarantee of logistics and food. Only with a strong logistics ability can a huge army be supported."
Wang Lu nodded and said, "This design is reasonable. In short, it's similar to an upper limit of population. You have 400 golden guardians, 30 warlocks, and 8 commanders, which means 5000 logistics points? Then how many do we have? "
Tannu said, "It also depends on you. Here, look here."
While they were talking, a stone platform rose in front of the stone door. On the platform, there was a chessboard with many small squares painted on it. On it, there were two chess pieces and several dice.
Wang Lu leaned forward and looked at it for a while. He saw that there was a zigzagging square on the chessboard. The square was connected from end to end to form a ring. Most of the squares were written with different numbers, and some were painted with a single color. In addition, in addition to chess pieces and dice, there were several stacks of cards on the chessboard, and there were also some exquisite small building models. Seeing this, Wang Lu couldn't help but change his expression, "This, this is …"
Tannu said with a smile, "This is a very popular game on the continent when I was alive. It's called Simulation Business Chess!"
"Simulation your sister, isn't this clearly a Monopoly!?" Wang Lu pointed at the chessboard, "Isn't it just buying land, collecting taxes, and then using various events and props to harm people!?"
Tannu was surprised and said, "I can't believe that even you aliens from the East know about this game!"
"… Forget it, I'll just think of it as a beautiful coincidence. The world is big, and there are always a few nerds who are stupid enough to design tabletop games. In short, you mean that I want to play Monopoly with you, and then use the points to determine my logistics points? "
Tannu said, "That's right, so the amount of logistics points depends on you. Of course, I won't bully people, so even if you lose miserably in Simulation Business Chess, I will at least give you 5000 basic points to ensure that you have the same number of troops as me. And on this basis, if you have the ability, win all 20,000 points in my hand within 100 rounds. By then, you will have more than 10 times the number of troops I have. However, I doubt if you can do it! Gentle reminder, when playing chess, you'd better protect yourself with all your strength! Protect the 5000 points in your hand and don't lose them! Haha! "
Obviously, this former Tribal God of War was extremely confident in his chess skills.
"Interesting, you actually dare to show off your gaming talent in front of me." Wang Lu sneered and walked to the front of the stone table, "Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish."
—
After an hour.
"This, this is impossible!?"
Tannu's shocked voice echoed in the narrow space.
On the chessboard, the red color chosen by Wang Lu occupied more than 90% of the area. Tannu's blue color could only occupy a corner, and his own chess piece was wrapped in red, unable to move an inch. With the result of the dice roll just now, his chess piece moved to the red square, so the last hope of turning the tables disappeared.
Wang Lu sighed softly, stood up from the stone table, and scattered the gemstones in his hand on the chessboard.
"The 93rd round of the game is over, 25,000 points are in my hand. Humph, I can't believe that the Barbarian God of War is so tenacious, to be able to hold on until the end before dying. "
"This, this is impossible." Tannu's voice trembled, he still couldn't believe what just happened. As a gatekeeper on this trial path, he had guarded it alone for more than ten thousand years. During this period of time, his only entertainment was playing chess with the other gatekeepers who still had some intelligence! Ten thousand years was enough for him to hone his chess skills to the point of perfection. However, as time passed, more and more gatekeepers died, and he had no way to display his brilliant chess skills, which made him feel even more lonely.
More than 80 years ago, he unexpectedly met a group of challengers from the outside. Tannu was ecstatic and generously gave them ten chances to try, but in fact, he just wanted to play a few more rounds with them. But the best result of those challengers was to desperately protect their 5000 points, and then with the same number of troops and a more reasonable combination of troops, they narrowly defeated Tannu.
Therefore, Tannu never thought that he would lose, and lose so miserably! If he wasn't just a stone door, this extremely shocking fact would have exploded his head on the spot! — Fortunately, he didn't have a head now.
"You, what trick did you use!?"
Wang Lu sneered, "The chessboard is yours, the chess pieces are yours, and the dice are also yours. What trick can I use?" As he said, he played with the chess pieces on the chessboard and asked, "What do you think of my chess skills?"
Tannu said unwillingly, "… far better than me."
Wang Lu said, "Then logically speaking, there are actually two possibilities. First, I'm too strong, and my talent in this kind of game has reached the realm of God, and no one can stop me. Second, it's not that I'm too strong, it's that you're too weak. "
"I'm too weak!?" Tannu suddenly felt a sense of humiliation from being looked down upon, "Don't go too far!"
"Go too far? I actually didn't have much contact with your business simulation chess, and I'm not interested in it, so I'm definitely not good at it. Not to mention that the rules of your game are still the original version from 10,000 years ago, and there are many differences from what I've played, so I need some time to get used to it. Even so, I still defeated you with an overwhelming advantage. Is this really because I'm too strong? Speaking of which, where did you get the confidence to think that you're very good at chess? "
Tannu somewhat dejectedly said, "Before you, I've never tasted defeat in 10,000 years."
"Then there are two possibilities. First, you're very strong; second, your opponents are too weak. Objectively speaking, what kind of people have been playing chess with you for the past 10,000 years? Are they the chess masters that Golden King collected from all over the continent? Or are they a group of ordinary people who have no interest in chess and can't stand your coaxing and pestering? And did the last Trial Taker who came here look like he was good at chess? "
"But I've been playing here for 10,000 years!"
Wang Lu sighed, "You've locked two men in a secret room, and even after 100,000 years, they still can't give birth to a child. It can be seen that time is not omnipotent. Moreover, when you play chess with a group of mediocre players, the more you play, the worse your chess skills will get. Your job is to be a military god, not a chess master. If you spend too much energy on this kind of heresy, you'll become a laughing stock just like the Knight King who is obsessed with dark cuisine. "
The Knight King who was obsessed with dark cuisine was shocked and angry at the same time. "Hey!"
