Mubai didn't say anything, because Mofan's deduction was right. Asha'ria and Sharjah were likely to bump into each other's queen.
The King of Darkness's goal was very clear. Since the Witch Empress Manjusaka had already started a massacre on the right side of the chessboard, the King of Darkness had to get rid of one of Mubai's key chess pieces no matter what.
He pressed on, not giving Asha'ria and Sharjah a chance to return to their own side to protect them. He was like a pack of hungry wolves in the forest, gradually reducing their living space.
"Is there a way to resolve this?" Mofan asked.
He didn't want to see any of them die. Even if he was facing the King of Darkness, he had to do everything he could to keep them alive.
Mubai was a little hesitant.
There were some things that he could only choose for himself. In fact, Mubai already knew who he should abandon and who he should let live in the end.
This game wasn't very complicated. If nothing unexpected happened, Mubai could even calculate that he was close to winning.
The most he could do was to keep half of the people on the chessboard alive.
"It's very, very difficult to keep everyone alive." Mubai sighed.
"It's difficult, but there's a way, right?" Mofan asked.
Mofan never liked this kind of choice. At least, before he tried his best, he wouldn't give up or keep anything.
Sharjah couldn't die. Asha'ria couldn't die either.
"If we choose this game, we might lose more," Mubai said seriously.
"You don't have to think about the losses for now. If we succeed, everyone will live. That's enough!" Mofan said.
Mubai looked at Mofan.
He was a little hesitant, but when he saw Mofan's eyes, Mubai felt like he was back in Bo City. Back then, Mofan was the same. Even if he reached the safety barrier, he would still risk his life to find Ye Xinxia.
Perhaps deep in his bones, he had never succumbed to fate's arrangements and the manipulation of the chessboard of fate!
And this was what he had been missing.
Most of the time, Mubai would choose the safest way to minimize his losses.
It was a good thing to think more, but it could also be a bad thing to think too much.
Mofan wasn't willing to make that choice, and Mubai wasn't willing to make a cruel choice between Asha'ria and Sharjah.
"Got it!" Mu Bai let out a heavy sigh.
There was no choice. This was a chess game, but no one could wantonly control one's life!
"I will use an extreme strategy. Either we kill the King of Darkness, or we all die!" Mubai said.
In Mubai's mind, there were many ways to win.
He chose the path with the highest chance of winning and the most number of chess pieces he could keep.
In Mubai's opinion, this was the limit of what he could do. It was also the most incomplete yet perfect result.
But when he thought about how he would have to give it up in the near future, Mubai realized that the feeling was worse than death!
That was to find a way to play chess that had an extremely low chance of winning, but could allow everyone to survive!!
"King's Chariot Switch!"
Mubai activated the switch.
The King's Chariot could switch places with the King's Chariot!
The Black Dragon Emperor and Sharjah switched places. The surrounding creatures were intimidated by its terrifying dragon aura. An Emperor-level creature was the scariest, after all. Even the Saintess of the Darkness did not dare to offend it.
The King's Chariot's movement was restricted. It could only move one space at most.
Therefore, even though the Black Dragon Emperor was powerful, it could not slaughter as freely as the Witch Empress.
Due to its limited movement, the King's Chariot could easily be devoured if it advanced recklessly.
As expected, Su Lu's eyes glittered when he saw the Black Dragon Emperor on the battlefield.
If the King of Darkness suppressed the Black Dragon Emperor's strength by 30%, Su Lu was confident he could slay the Black Dragon Emperor.
Once the Black Dragon Emperor died, no one on the chessboard could do anything to him.
Su Lu did not care about the lives of the others. As long as he could leave this place alive, he could make a comeback!
The King of Darkness laughed.
The King of Darkness finally lost his patience and exposed his weakness.
"I'm sorry, I always forget important things. There's one more rule that I haven't explained to you …" the King of Darkness suddenly said.
"Aren't the rules set before the chess pieces are placed?" Mubai asked.
"You are the one who set the rules. I'm the one who will change the rules according to the situation on the battlefield. After all, many games have loopholes that the designers never thought of. It's better to fix them in time to ensure the fairness of the game, don't you agree?" the King of Darkness said.
The King of Darkness said he was going to add more rules …
It seemed like there was no other way.
He only said he would not break the fairness of the game, but he did not say he would not add more rules. After all, he was the one who had arranged the game, and everyone's lives were in his hands …
"Please tell us, but I hope you won't be biased toward your side." Mubai had interacted with the King of Darkness before. He knew the King of Darkness was a man of his words, at least to people who were not a threat to him.
"The Empress Chess, the King Chess, the War Chariot Chess, and the Patriarch Chess are all very powerful. If the King Chess is placed among the other chess pieces, even a three-year-old child will be able to eliminate the opponent as long as they avoid the King Chess pieces on the other side," the King of Darkness rubbed his chin.
The King of Darkness seemed to be too focused on identifying the strength of the chess pieces when he was placing them. He had forgotten something important.
The Black Dragon Emperor and Su Lu were too powerful. Even if their strength was weakened by 30%, the strongest Empress Mansha Pearl and the Saintess of Darkness had no chance of defeating them.
Therefore, he would lose his chess skills. He had to add another restriction to the King Chess pieces.
"You want to add another restriction to the King Chess pieces?" Mubai asked.
"No, no, no, I'm not targeting any of the chess pieces. How about this? Every chess piece that survives the battle will receive a 50% increase in strength. That way, even if it's the King Chess pieces, as long as you use it well and devour a few more targets, you will still be able to challenge higher-level chess pieces, "the King of Darkness said.
Mubai shook his head and said, "King of Darkness, this is not fair. The higher-level chess pieces can keep devouring the lower-level chess pieces and increase their strength infinitely. The game will lose its meaning."
"Oh, you have a point. Then, what do you have to add to my suggestion?" the King of Darkness asked.
