Darkening Guardian Knight

However, under the influence of Kate's unpleasant moves, he irresistibly spent more time on deep reading and predicting Kate's chess moves, resulting in only 1 minutes remaining in his remaining time, which was the same as Kate's.

This smooth game lasted for a long time.

Until a certain moment, something happened that the King of White couldn't understand: "It's so strange, I shouldn't have made a wrong move... But why? Why did her chess gradually improve without knowing it? "

"Although I still have one more bishop now, I seem to have seen the route of the draw!"

"Yes! All she needs to do next is forcefully replace the chariot and queen with me, and kill or replace my last soldier at the same time, it's a draw!!"

In his mind, the final game of chess has been presented.

That is the future that can be read in advance in only twelve steps, and the final disk is extremely concise.

There are only three pieces left on the chessboard.

Black King, White King, and White Knight.

If you can't kill, it's a draw.

The White King widened his non-existent eyes, checked carefully, and confirmed this fact.

"It seems that you have finally noticed." Seeing this, Kate slowly raised her head, and glanced at the White King indifferently. The gesture clearly looked harmless, but it gave off an inexplicable sense of sarcasm, "Let's draw, what do you think?"

"Well, let's make it up." The White King was in a daze for a long time before admitting and accepting the result.

But he still couldn't believe it, and he reflected: "What's going on? Did I go wrong somewhere?"

"You're right," Kate said, "but you're also wrong."

"Huh?" The White King was taken aback by Kate's mysterious dialogue, and asked in a daze, "What do you mean?"

"You are right, I led you to go wrong." Kate pointed out, "In the third step of my No.30, which is also the second step of No.20 after my mistake, I gave up the knight and moved the king, yes Bar?"

"Ah, that's right. That step... that step?! Aha... ahaha, ahahaha!!"

As the White King spoke, he suddenly felt enlightened, ecstatically, raised his head and laughed loudly, "So that's what happened! Is everything in your calculation? Little girl!"

"It seems that I don't need to explain." Kate said.

"Well, I was neither offensive nor defensive at that step. Rather, it was because I chose a relatively stable optimal solution that led to a draw." The White King said, "Since then, you have planned Do you have everything behind?"

"Probably." Kate didn't deny it, "From that step, I read 42 steps in advance and saw this result."

"Four... 42? Cough cough, it's pretty powerful." The White King coughed, trying his best to maintain his aura and majesty that had long since disappeared, "In short, if you draw, there's nothing you can do..."

With a wave of his hand, the pure white space gradually blurred, slowly revealing colorful colors.

"This is?" Kate asked with a slight frown.

"Congratulations on entering the final challenge round of Peerless Law! Lovely Miss Black." The White King applauded and greeted, "This is the venue for the final challenge - the "real world"! "

No.20 three-section role-playing

What presented before Kate was a beautiful and immaculate world.

She and the White King were standing on a high platform of an ancient castle, overlooking the front, and had a panoramic view of everything below the city.

"This is what the "real world" looks like...it's really real. Seeing this completely unreal scenery, Kate didn't look surprised, and kept a calm posture, as if she had expected it a long time ago, "Speaking of which, can draws also qualify for the challenge?" "

"Actually, when you defeat your opponents for several rounds and come before me, you are already eligible for the challenge."

King Bai said, "I came out to fight you to test the level of you challengers who have passed the first stage of the trial. Because we have to group according to your level."

"I see, but you revealed a very interesting piece of information." Kate said with interest, "Will the difficulty be different for different levels?"

"Of course." The White King affirmed, "The higher the level, the more difficult the challenge will be, but correspondingly, the possibility of obtaining the peerless method will also increase."

"It's actually such a mechanism." Kate nodded to show that she understood, "But didn't you say that if it didn't benefit you, you wouldn't reveal the information? Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

"Hehe, let's take this as a reward for a tie between you and me." The White King looked generous, opened his arms and posed, "What's more, even if I tell you this, it's not a problem. After all, for the I didn't mention the most crucial peerless method."

"I probably guessed something about the peerless law." Kate said surprisingly, "I'm afraid that the peerless law is hidden in this "real world", right? "

"Hey——" the White King whistled, "Little girl is very powerful, don't tell me you already know how to get the peerless method."

"No, I don't know to that extent, I just have a feeling." Kate denied.

"Well, that's pretty amazing." The White King praised without hesitation, "It looks like this round of challenges will be very exciting, and I can look forward to it."

"You'll be watching?" Kate asked.

"Nonsense, as one of the planners of this challenge, of course I have to watch." The White King said, laughing happily, "It's also a pleasure to appreciate the fighting posture of you challengers."

"It's kind of funny, but I can understand it." Kate first echoed, and then she changed the subject and asked something that caught her attention, "So it's about time you told me—what are the rules of this round of challenges?"

"Hey... I wanted to chat with you again, but seeing how eager you are, I think we can't continue."

The King of White spread his hands in a helpless manner, and said, "Alright, alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you—"

"The rule of the real world is that there are no rules!"

"No rules? Are you sure?" Kate asked.

"There are no rules...not necessarily." The White King gasped, "There are no rules in this world, but there are hidden rules that cannot be said. After you experience it yourself, you will understand."

"There are Ruowu rules..." Kate fell into deep thought after hearing this, "Oh, then I roughly understand."

"You understand? That's fine, so I'll explain it to you." The White King knew that the black-haired girl was not simple, so he was no longer surprised by Kate's excellent understanding.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped back freely, stretched out his hand and waved to Kate, making a "goodbye" gesture:

"Then, that's the end of my duties. Next, please do your best, little black girl."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Kate replied without humility, her tone was very natural, as if she was expressing condolences to her subordinates.

It's just that the White King had disappeared at this time, and he didn't know where he went. He quietly disappeared into the environment, and he was nowhere to be found.

"Have you left?" Kate quietly looked at the sky with a calm expression, "I am a little familiar with the structure of this spiritual world... This familiarity seems to come from that piece of Kate's soul."

Kate obtained the code of conduct, way of thinking and some broken memories of the real Kate Christian from that piece of soul, and she probably felt that there were traces of that person in this world.

"Sure enough, this "real world" has something to do with her. "Kate secretly said, "This means that the peerless method hidden in the depths of this spiritual world has something to do with her. "

She watched the busy traffic on the street and the crowds of pedestrians in the busy city, and felt: "If I guess right, this spiritual world is probably a replica of the real world. She, and the group of like-minded people, I probably wanted to insinuate something in reality, so I created this world."

"But the information is still too little, and there is no way to continue to deliberate. It seems that if you want to know more, you have to go out and have a look."

Kate then turned and started walking down the castle stairs.

The spiral staircase stretches long, and the gray bricks and stones are covered with moss, highlighting its simplicity.

Kate held on to the wall bricks and quickly went down the road. After a while, she saw the end of the stairs—it was an open wooden door, and beside the door stood a plainly dressed, white-haired old man.

When the old man saw Kate, he immediately bowed and saluted, and said respectfully and eagerly: "Her Majesty Queen is well, I have something urgent to report!"

"My Lady Queen? I'm the only one here, so it's not a mistake... But what is this setting?" Kate was slightly startled, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.

She shook her hand lightly like a real queen, beckoning the old man to excuse her, and then asked, "Okay, what's the matter?"

The old man quickly replied: "The Solot Empire has issued a declaration of war against us today, please give us instructions, Her Majesty the Queen!"

"The Solot Empire?" Kate thought for a while, and remembered that this was an empire in the northeast of the Shenguang Continent.

Although Solot's land area is nearly half smaller than that of the Central Empire and the Siscari Empire.

However, its military power will not be inferior to the Siscari Empire, which is the second strongest comprehensive strength on the mainland, and only slightly inferior to the Central Empire.

"Such a Solot Empire would actually declare war on my side, plus the title of "Queen"... The role I play should be the leader of a certain kingdom or empire. "

Kate silently analyzed, "The empires bordering Solot include the Central Empire, the Prosdion Empire, and the Aish Empire. However, Solot cannot attack the Central Empire or its subordinates beyond their means.

And if this is the Central Empire, the old man who came to report would not be so flustered.Because with the strength of the Central Empire, Solot will definitely not be afraid. "

"The Prosdion Empire in the south of the mainland is a male-ruled country, and there are no female leaders in the subordinate kingdoms, so it should not be it.

However, the queen of the Ashe Empire in the north is indeed in power, and the style of this castle is also in line with the situation in the north... So it seems that the identity of "I" is ready to be revealed. "

It didn't take long for Kate to figure out who she was playing in this "real world".

"The queen of the Ashe Empire... I'm afraid this is the most difficult start, right? Sure enough, different levels have different difficulties. The White King must have deliberately arranged for me such a troublesome role." Kate sighed He said in a tone, "I can't help it, I can only bite the bullet."

No.20 Queen's Work in Four Sections

Kate doesn't know much about the Ashe Empire, what she knows is limited to the part introduced in the book.

Although the Ashe Empire is nominally one of the five great empires on the Shenguang Continent, it has been a long time since there have been nine-level masters in this country. The top military strength is only supported by the old generation of strong men, and the status of the empire is precarious.

"However, if you think about it optimistically, as an empire with a long history, Ashe should also have some hidden cards."

Kate secretly said, "But according to the character of the White King, I don't think it will give me such an easy start. Anyway, let's take a look first—see if there is any power in this country that can resist the invasion."

"What do you think? Well..." Kate was worrying about how to address the old man, when she found a sign of a bishop's chess piece above the old man's head, and a line of text was clearly written beside the sign.

"This war chess-like expression...does it refer to the old man's rank and name?"

With this guess in mind, Kate read it out: "What do you think? Mead Lane."

When the old man was called by name, he replied with trepidation: "Yes, report back to Her Majesty Queen. I believe that the troops should be reorganized as soon as possible, and the Ashe First Army should be notified to prepare for battle.

Then prepare strategic materials such as food and equipment, and at the same time issue war notices and conscription notices to ordinary civilians to make up for the shortage of troops as much as possible. "

"Well, very good." After listening to the old man's suggestion, Kate felt a little relieved. Out of insurance, she asked again, "Ryan, do you think this can stop the Solot Empire's offensive?"

"..." The old man was silent for a while, and then said honestly, "Report to Your Lady Queen. Whether our country can resist Solot's invasion depends on how determined Solot is to take our country."

"Oh, that's true." Kate twitched the corners of her mouth and thought, "I know that white guy has no good intentions! He gave me a mess."

Suppressing the depression and dissatisfaction in her heart, Kate tentatively asked the Bishop of Ryan: "Do you also think we can't beat Solot?"

"If Solot really intends to conquer our Ashe Empire, then we will definitely not be able to stop it." Ryan sighed and said, "The only ones who can stop Solot are the strongest Central Empire and the Siscari Empire in the west. Although I don't want to admit it, the shortage of major generals in our country is too serious.

Not to mention that the number of corps is more than a dozen less than that of Solot, and there are only me and Aris in the ninth-level combat power... Solot and the others have six permanent nine-level practitioners, and there is no way to fight at a high level. beat! "

"Is there no hope at all?"

"I don't think so, Her Lady Queen." Ryan shook his head and said objectively and helplessly.

"Okay, I get it." Kate rubbed her temples, nodded and said, "Just do as you say, no matter what, our side will always have a chance to fight. Even if we are doomed to fail, we still have to struggle. fan."

"Yes, I will arrange it now." Ryan obeyed, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Seeing that Ryan was leaving, Kate quickly stopped him, "If you ask someone to find information about the development of our country and the Solot Empire in recent years, I want to check something."

"Ah, yes." Ryan said in a little surprise, "I will ask the secretary to arrange it and send it to your study, Your Lady Queen."

"Thank you." Kate nodded and let Ryan go.

For her, there were other concerns besides the war in the Ashe Empire.

"It can now be confirmed that in this "real world", "I" is the Queen of the Ashe Empire.Then it is conceivable that the other 15 people who have passed the screening like me and entered this world must also play the roles of leaders of major forces... Yes, just like the kings in war chess! "

Kate's thoughts were flowing, and she continued to list the information that could be inferred at the moment.

"This means that the main confrontation should be our sixteen forces. Taking the Ashe Empire as the standard, it can be inferred that among the sixteen major forces, there must be five empires. Then count the same magnitude The four major families, the three major associations, and the other four forces are unclear."

"However, the forces that can enter the continental stage are really limited. The four unknown forces may hide their strength and control the situation in secret. If that's the case, they will show their fox tails sooner or later."

Kate briefly analyzed the distribution of forces in the real world, thinking that the situation in the Ashe Empire might not be that bad, "We must first figure out the purpose of Solot's war, and then maybe we can find a solution from it."

"Also, let's put aside those miscellaneous things. This real world seems to limit my power. Whether it's magic power or physical strength, I can't feel it...

The "I" here, although honored as the queen, is like an ordinary person, without any lethality, just a pure commander. "

"So what about the peerless method?" Kate thought again, "In this world, can the camouflage and fusion methods be used?"

She wants to try.

"Without magic, the fusion method is useless," she thought. "The camouflage method would be good-if it can be used."

The function of the camouflage method is too strong. If it can be used, she can use it to obtain more information, and many things will become much easier.

However, when she travels in the disguise of Lion, the maids in the castle still call her queen.So Kate realized that in the real world, identity has nothing to do with appearance.Whoever she takes on will be recognized as Queen Ashe.

"Then, the same should be true for other challengers. From my point of view, they probably look like the leaders of the big forces in the real world, and it is impossible to judge who they are from their appearance."

After roughly figuring out some "real world" rules, Kate couldn't help feeling a little tired: "The structure of this spiritual world is a bit too big, it seems that it will become a long-term battle..."

"Also, after a long time, I still haven't figured out what their purpose in creating this world is. Is it just to pass on the peerless law?" Kate murmured, asking a piece of soul fragment in her heart.

But there was no answer.

"Forget it, I guess this is part of its missing memory. The real Kate will not be so negligent as to put the answer directly at the starting point of the challenge." Kate sighed and wandered alone in the castle.

With the expressions and words of the people around her, she quickly grasped the topography of the castle, and walked to the study with ease.
