The King of Darkness was obviously regretting it.
In order to put psychological pressure on the opponent and make people like Mubai feel guilty for the deaths of more than 2,000 people, he had lost a lot of initiative.
Right now, Asha 'ruiya had already reached the left side of the camp. She was a direct threat to three Praetorian Guards, one Knight, and one Bishop.
On the King of Darkness' side, only the Empress Piece could kill Asha'ria instantly.
However, if the Empress Piece attacked and killed Asha'ria, it meant that the opponent's chariot piece, Sharjah, would immediately challenge the Empress Piece.
In terms of strength, the Dark Saintess was definitely stronger than Sharjah without the Archangel's power. However, the result was hard to say with the Dark Saintess suppressed by 30%.
Once Sharjah killed the Empress, this game would be a complete loss. The King of Darkness would only be able to capture more than 2,000 people at most. This was not the result he wanted.
The King of Darkness stopped taking risks and began to think carefully about every step he took.
Fortunately, the King of Darkness liked to play this kind of game, but his level was obviously not at the level of a human master.
"Magus Queen Manjusaka, enter!"
After taking the initiative, Mubai immediately sent the most crucial piece to the right side.
In fact, Mubai had asked Asha'ria to attract the enemy's attention from the beginning. If the opponent was frightened and took defensive measures to interfere with the two royal guards, the Empress Piece could directly enter the enemy's right side.
On the right side, there were two royal guards with three hellish heads.
The Magus Queen Manjusaka did not even need to waste any effort.
No one even saw what kind of strange evil power the Magus Queen Manjusaka used, but the three hellish heads withered like plants and became a pile of dried bones!
Mubai did not mind putting the Magus Queen Manjusaka in a dangerous position because neither the knight nor the bishop dared to take the initiative to fight.
With 30% of her power suppressed, the Empress was still the Empress. Provoking her was equivalent to suicide!
Therefore, this game was not a complete game of chess skills. The players had to take the strength of the pieces into consideration. Not every piece could defeat every piece!
Mubai quickly understood this rule. Therefore, after he used the two Knight Medallions to attract the attention of the opposing King and Queen, Magus Queen Manjusaka was able to slaughter freely on the right side of the battlefield.
"Good move!" Sharjah praised.
Most of the people on Mu Bai's side were humans, not to mention that they had been dragged to Hell by the maniac Su Lu. They were grinning when they saw Mu Bai gaining the upper hand in just a few rounds.
"King of Darkness, your rules seem to be giving you too much of an advantage. If you want someone to die, you just have to sacrifice one of your pawns. What I want is for everyone to walk out of here alive," Mubai said to the King of Darkness.
"Then what do you suggest? You have a huge advantage right now. Isn't that enough?" the King of Darkness asked.
"Even if the person on the chessboard wins in the end and dies in battle, it still belongs to you …" Mubai pointed out.
"I like fairness. If a game loses its fairness, it will lose its original interest. Those who offend me, I will use my supreme magic power to kill them. Those who provoke me, I will imprison their souls in the name of the Dark Dominator. But in the game, I will always play my role well. I will never overstep my boundaries or go back on my words. You are right, but I can't bring the dead back to life, "the King of Darkness said calmly.
Death was death in a battle. The King of Darkness could kill people, but he could not bring them back to life. It was not like the King of Darkness could expect him to put a dead person back together, right?
"Can we stop here?" Mubai asked.
"Without death, the game will lose its interest," the King of Darkness said.
Mubai tried all kinds of methods, but he failed to get anything from the King of Darkness that could compensate him.
"How about this? If you win, I'll let the people who are still alive in the Dark Forest go …" the King of Darkness said.
The people chosen to be on the chessboard were all Mages.
As a matter of fact, most of the people in the Dark Plane were ordinary people who did not know how to use magic. Death was the only thing waiting for them.
The King of Darkness's condition was that if Mubai won, the people who were still alive after being dragged into the Dark Plane would be allowed to leave, including the people who had accidentally fallen into the Dark Plane from other worlds. They had tried their best to find an exit, but the outcome was still the same …
The King of Darkness was willing to let them go, as compensation for the people who died in the chessboard.
Since the King of Darkness had already made his decision, it was unlikely that he would change his mind.
If he could bring the innocent people with him, it would be compensation for the Imperial Magicians who had died. After all, many of them were dragged into the Dark Plane with their friends and family.
"My son is still in the Dark Forest. If he can leave here alive, I'm willing to ask for a higher level chess piece, as long as I can win the game!" a middle-aged Magician said with tears in his eyes.
Hope, he did not need to see hope for himself. He just wanted his seventeen-year-old son to leave this Hell.
His son was still so young. He had yet to see the wonders of this world. How could he be trapped in this dark Hell forever?
He was so talented. He wanted to reach the pinnacle of Dubai's Magician Tower, but Su Lu had killed him all because of his ruthlessness.
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to keep everyone alive. Besides, I hope that even if you are in a disadvantageous position against the Imperial Magicians, Knights, Patriarchs, and Chariots, don't give up so easily. This rule doesn't necessarily mean the side that is being eaten will die for sure! "Mubai said to the other Imperial Magicians.
"That's right, we can't give up until the very last moment!"
…
Mubai had no idea if the encouragement was effective.
There were more than a thousand people in the Imperial Magicians' Chess Piece. Were they all willing to risk their lives to fight?
Mubai did not think so, but it was enough to motivate the people who had a strong desire to live.
Everyone followed blindly.
Once their morale was gone, they were like sheep being trampled by a wolf.
…
"Mubai, should I still stand here?" Mofan suddenly asked.
"That's the only thing we can do for now …" Mubai said.
"But if I'm not mistaken, either Sharjah or Asha'ria will stumble into the opponent's Queen in three rounds, and she will be the one that has the upper hand," Mofan said sternly.
Mofan had been observing the chess pieces. He knew how to calculate them, too.
Normally, Mofan was too lazy to use his brain, but now, his mind was racing!
