The Red Dragon Emperor from Douluo Continent

"That, Minister."

"what happened?"

"Is there another [monk] with the minister? Where is that person?"

"Unfortunately, another [monk] was unable to attend. As for the reason, I will explain later."

"Yes."

"There are still ten minutes before the start of the game." At this time, Gurefiya came to the Supernatural Research Department with a magic circle and said.

"This time [Ranking Game], everyone will be watching the battle at the relay location. And Lord Lucifer, the Demon Lord, will also be watching this time. Please don't forget this." After speaking, Gurefia left the club room.

"Brother...Brother!...Well, my brother will come and see me too."

……

ten minutes later

"Everyone, I am Grefia, the servant of the Gremory family, and I will be the referee for this "ranking game" between the Gremory family and the Phoenix family. "

"In the name of my master Sazex Lucifer, I will witness the battle between the two families. Please give me your advice. Then let's get into the topic immediately. The battle field this time is based on Lord Rias With Raisa-sama's advice, prepare a replica of the human world school "Kuoo Academy" that Rias-sama attended in a different dimension. "

"The place where the two camps are currently moving is the "base camp" of both sides.Rias-sama's "base camp" is the office of the Occult Research Department in the old school building.Raiser-sama's "base camp" is the student council office in the new school building. When a "soldier" (pawn) wants to "upgrade", please go to the surrounding area of ​​the opponent's "base camp". "

"It's time to start. In addition, the time limit for this game is the dawn of the human world. Then, the game begins."

A series of voices came from the radio, reminding everyone that the [Ranking Game] has officially started.

"Everyone wears this communicator on their ears." Zhu Nai took out several headset-type communicators and sent them to everyone.

After Lias got it, she put it on her ear and said, "We can use this to communicate with each other on the battlefield."

"Dinglingling——" the school bell rang, which signaled the official start of the competition.

"Yoxi, everyone, you can't lose. Act according to the plan, I will watch you here, and show us the results of your training." Long Cheng said lightly.

"Yes!"

108. Ranked Game 1

"Okay, first you have to capture (capture) the [soldiers] of Reisa. If all eight of them [upgrade] to [queens], it will be troublesome." Rias analyzed calmly.

"Minister, I feel so calm..." Hyoudou Issei said with emotion.

"Issei, the battle has just begun, right? [Ranking games] are not games that end in a short period of time. Occasionally, of course, there are short-term decisive battles, but most of them will take a lot of time, just like real chess, where strategy is very important .”

"Hey, is that so, master? I always thought it would be a showdown between the enemy and us."

"Well, although there is such a form, but this time we are carrying out the traditional mode."

"I see."

“[Ranked games] make sense when you make the most of the battlefield. Generally speaking, the base camps of both camps are fortresses, castles, or towers. There are forests, mountains, and lakes between the base camps. A large-scale battle, but this time the stage is the school, Yuto." Rias analyzed calmly.

"Yes."

Hearing Rias' order, Kiba spread out the map on the table.It is the floor plan of our school. There are grid lines drawn on the map, and numbers and English letters are written on the vertical axis and the horizontal axis respectively. This is a grid drawn on a chessboard.

Rias drew circles with a red pen at the corners of the old school building and the new school building.She is marking her own base camp and the opponent's base camp.

"There is a forest near our base camp. We can regard this as our territory. On the other hand, the new school building is Lesa's position. Once you step in, it will be regarded as entering the opponent's lair. The playground can be clearly seen from the new school building , it would be dangerous to pass here unsuspecting."

"Then if you want to get to the new school building, you have to go in from the sports field behind?" asked Issei Hyoudou.

"Generally speaking, this is the case. But the opponent is also very clear about this. They should have servants in the sports field... The club activity center located in the sports field should have [chariot] (rook) or [knight] (Knight) stationed there. No. , A place as big as the sports field needs mobility, so one [Knight] (Knight) should be sent, followed by three or four [Soldiers] (Pawn). This way, the entire sports field can be controlled.”

"So, first of all, we need to take down the gymnasium... In terms of the venue, the opponent should put in the [tank]. Because it is an indoor space, the destructive [tank] will be more usable than the mobile [knight] characteristic."

"...Yuto and the kitten set traps in the forest first. Take a spare map with me. I have already marked the places where the traps will be set. I will make a few copies later and send them to everyone."

"Yes."

"...As ordered."

Upon receiving the order, Kiba and Kitten left the office with a map and suspicious trap items.

"The others are on standby until the trap is set. By the way, Zhu Nai."

"Yes."

"After Yuuto and Kitten come back, can you plant mist and illusions around the forest? Even in the air. Of course, set it so that it only reacts to Reiser's followers. The opening (opening) is probably like this. But it will become more intense when the middle game starts. Leave the fog and illusion to you, Zhu Nai."

"Yes, Minister."

"Please, may I ask the president, what should I do?" Yicheng, who had not received the order for a long time, said.

"Well. Issei is a [soldier], so you have to [upgrade] to do it."

"Yes."

"Listen, Issei? You still have to beat your opponent when you meet a girl? You can't be merciful. Because the other party won't be merciful either."

"I...I see."

"Very good, remember to become [queen] when you [upgrade], because [queen] is the strongest, and the forbidden hand can only be used when it is necessary, you know."

"Yes, but as a boy, I should become a [Queen], it feels a bit subtle."
