Alien world

Chapter 1077 308. Unchanged Results

"you go first."

Clo, the master of this area, said with arrogance.

But that doesn’t mean Annan can gain an advantage... For example, Annan himself is not among the chess pieces... After all, the rules of the game were set by Clo.

Vitalig outside was saying something to him anxiously.

Annan shook his head to indicate that he couldn't hear him, and his eyes returned to the simulated sand table that seemed to be overlooking the earth from the air.

Fortunately, it was not a knight chess game, otherwise Annan would have surrendered.

"What? Without your think tank, you are completely unable to deploy your troops?" Clo said sarcastically.

Annan raised his head and stared at Clo: "Don't you understand yet? You didn't lose because of being controlled by the ratmen, nor did you lose because of the betrayal of the chairman of the parliament..."

The miniature Free City beside him began to float forward.

"Then I'll defeat you again."

Liberty City floated to the nearest city-state. A pattern of fighting swords and shields appeared on the city wall, followed by a countdown.

They are food consumption and time required for siege: the former is 98 days and the latter is 13 days.

This city, which Annan had no impression of in reality and was one of the countless surrendered towns, was able to hold off the Free City for half a month.

On the other side, Clo began to deploy troops. He sent all the elite soldiers from the Sunset Plains in the core of the kingdom and marched south.

A dozen knight and wizard chess pieces instantly appeared on the sand table. The dotted line under my feet pointed to Liberty City, and a countdown appeared above my head.

The fastest is 5 days and the slowest is 17 days.

It looks like reinforcements will arrive before Liberty City captures the city.

However, Skeleton King and Little Bat did not make a move. Clo did not use his legend, and Annan could not waste his legend on the siege.

The countdown numbers were moving, and the fastest mage chess piece sent by Clo arrived at the city.

Annan saw that the countdown increased from 8 days to 12 days, but the food supply dropped from 93 days to 92 days.

Soon, another wizard chess piece arrived, and 12 days became 17 days.

Annan looked towards the rear of the city. The troops coming to support were densely packed and they were constantly replenishing their fuel. It would take Liberty City half a year to capture the city.

Giving up the siege, Annan controlled the Free City to bypass the city and attack a chess piece that came to support.

The day when the chess piece appeared interrupted, it was eaten by Liberty City. However, Clo also responded by gathering the scattered reinforcements, not giving Annan the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Annan, realizing his own advantages, simply gave up this place and rushed to the east of the kingdom to attack a border town.

This time it will take ten days, and the fastest chess piece will arrive in 10 days.

They were too late.

But Clo just sneered, and a red deduction pattern appeared on his knight chess piece, but the time was changed from 10 days to 7 days.

They dropped supplies and sped up, but the cost was that they needed supplies everywhere they went.

Wherever he went, the loyalty of the towns decreased, and a small town even rebelled, but was suppressed on the spot.

"Your pawns are slaughtering your own people."

Clo was indifferent and just wanted to come to the rescue before Annan.

Annan, who gradually became familiar with the rules, released the Punishment Legion to capture Clo's lightly equipped chess pieces and finally occupied the first city.

Clo frowned and asked the chess pieces to stop chasing and regroup. Annan looked at the number of chess pieces and felt that it would be difficult to defeat them, so he went north along the border to the second town.

After repeating this several times, Clo realized that it was impossible to catch up with Annan, so he gave up chasing Free City and instead recaptured the cities it occupied. But Free City's resources were not unlimited. Clo watched Free City drifting around in his territory and sneered, "Your food and soldiers are getting less and less, how long can you hold on?"

Although there is no exact number, it is indeed taking longer and longer for Liberty City to capture a city. Unless he can plunder every city he arrives at like Clo.

Faced with Clo's sarcasm, Annan remained indifferent and continued to chase the chess pieces around, but every time he arrived at a city, he no longer besieged it, but distributed money.

Those towns that had been occupied and conquered provided food.

Clo saw what Annan was going to do: "You give your wealth to the poor?"

He couldn't understand Annan's intention, but he would just destroy whatever Annan did.

There was a chess piece following Liberty City. As soon as they distributed food, Clo sent people to take it back.

They traveled across most of the south like this. The surface of the pocket-sized Liberty City became mottled and smaller, but Cloe suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The towns lost loyalty after being captured by the Free City, and lost loyalty again after being recaptured. The Free City distributed food and property to increase loyalty a little - but to the Free City. After the pawns arrived, the cities with too low loyalty began to refuse to hand over food.

Cloe only thought that they were corrupted by the Free City and ordered the chess pieces to attack the city again, but the city was not the enemy, and the price was that the chess pieces began to lose loyalty and morale because of the massacre of their own people.

When the first chess piece turned red, representing Liberty City, Kro's face changed.

Clo showed no mercy to the betrayers and once again sent his pawns to encircle and suppress the rebels, which resulted in a large number of pawns losing their loyalty.

Liberty City turned from defense to offense and tried to recapture those towns again. This time, it happened without bloodshed, and large areas of towns changed color.

The pawns controlled by Clo also became red or white ownerless forces due to their low loyalty and were absorbed by the Liberty City forces.

There was more and more red on the sand table. Cloe couldn't accept the sudden reversal of his advantage just now. He sent out the legends to make a last gamble, but found that they turned into white and could not be commanded.

When the old and crumbling Liberty City launched an attack on the New Capital with its chess pieces, the walls of the New Capital collapsed and the arrow towers fell down.

There seemed to be a cheer on the sand table.

More thoroughly than in reality, Liberty City officially conquered the New Capital.

Clo looked at everything in front of him in disbelief: "Why? I am several times stronger than you, and you have nothing but a floating city..."

"Because you don't understand human nature." Annan exhaled, "Whether in reality or on the chessboard, you treat your people as chess pieces."

"I am the king—"

"But they are human beings, not dead soldiers." Annan looked at him. "The war report will deceive you, but the battle line will not."

"I used the same method in reality and on the chessboard, and you lost twice."

The sand table, the barrier, and Clo slowly faded. His tone became much calmer: "You took a bunch of peasants and robbed my kingdom."

"Wrong. Have you seen Let the Magic Fly? Oh, you must not have seen it, otherwise you wouldn't have lost so badly."

"That magic video?" Cloe's attitude became much calmer.

"There's a line in it. You've been in this land for hundreds of years, and so have they. Their emotions are no less than yours. When they converge, they'll only be more intense."

"The kingdom is yours, and theirs."

Kro was silent for a moment, the illusory figure looked at Vitalig outside the barrier with disgust.

"Tell my useless brother to stay away from the Nezumi..."

He and the chessboard completely disappeared in front of him.

clatter--

The evil ghost chess piece called the Book of Order landed lightly on the ground, and inside it, there was one more soul suffering in pain.
