Things about the female knight in black stockings

Tia held a purple card in each hand and made a fighting posture:

"You, an idiot female knight who has only been an adventurer in the countryside, do you know how to fight the Fog Demon? This kind of thing is rare in France."

"Of course I know, Mist Demon, isn't it a specialty of the Four Islands Alliance? I saw it when I was peeking at your book when I was a kid."

Valencia also took out her sword and shield, back to back with Tia:

"This kind of monster has no entity in its normal state. Most physical damage is ineffective against it. Its core must be destroyed when it attacks."

"Well, it seems you are not too ignorant~~"

Tia nodded with a smile:

"Since you know how to fight... how about you have 4 and I have 2? I am an auxiliary. As a knight, you should protect me, right?"

"Hmph, don't say 4, just leave all 6 to me!"

Anyway, laziness has failed, so let’s just show off in front of Tia.

Valensa thought this, but found that the six smoky gray floating dogs were just surrounding but not attacking, as if they were waiting for her to reveal her flaws first.

She looked around again and carefully recalled Tia's actions just now, and her heart moved.

These six big dog-like fog demons are obviously also controlled by the central system of the dungeon, so...

Whoosh!

Valencia suddenly threw her buckler and hit the mechanism in the middle of the chessboard hard.

Aww~~

This action really angered the fog demons, or triggered their attack settings... They didn't even look at Tia, and they all rushed towards Valencia.

Is Chapter 139 a bit too easy?

The scene of being besieged by six big dogs at the same time seemed dangerous, but Valensa was not panicked at all.

After all, this was just a punishing battle for a mechanism that failed to activate, not a main trial in the room. The six big fog demon dogs only looked scary, but were not actually very strong.

If it weren't for the fact that the fog demons themselves were weird, they wouldn't even be as good as candlelight level monsters.

This kind of enemy is no longer a threat to Valencia.

The first big fog demon dog quickly bit Valencia's shoulder, but also exposed the core under its tongue.

Valencia flicked her left wrist, and the long sword came first. Before being bitten by the big fog demon dog, she pierced its core with the sword, causing it to turn into mist and dissipate again.

The attacks of the second and third fog demon dogs arrived at the same time, biting Valencia's legs respectively.

This time, Valencia didn't rush to kill them. Instead, she jumped back to avoid them and at the same time threw the buckler in her right hand towards the ground.

The two big fog demon dogs that missed the first blow showed no intention of stopping. They quickly pounced in the direction where Valencia jumped back and took a second bite.

The huge mouth with long fangs looks very scary, but it also exposes the only weak spot under the tongue of the big fog demon dog.

The buckler that had just been thrown to the ground by Valencia bounced up at this moment, easily smashing the jaw of one of the fog demon dogs through the core and shattering it.

Another big fog demon dog was about to bite Valencia, but as the buckler that killed its companion bounced away from the side, it also suffered an invisible sharp cutting attack, splitting its core into two.

This method of tying the metal wire in the assassination ring to a round shield and throwing it would catch even a lighthouse-level powerhouse like Belloc without paying attention, let alone these fog demons.

The successive dissipation of their companions allowed the remaining three fog demon dogs to launch a series of attacks, but it also could not change the outcome of their cores being destroyed one by one by Valencia.

"Phew, done~~"

After defeating all six big fog demon dogs, Valencia ran to Tia again, proudly puffing up her chest with a "please praise me" expression on her face:

"How is it? I'm very powerful now, right?"

"Rokujo is just a low-priced fog demon with candlelight level strength. I think you will be so proud..."

But Tia would not always pamper Valencia. She did not mean to praise her at all. Instead, she pointed at the mechanism in the center of the chessboard and raised her eyebrows:

"You really want me to praise you for activating this mechanism correctly?"

"What's so difficult about this? Look at me..."

Tia thought that Valencia would pretend to be stupid and lazy again, but unexpectedly Valensa was still very confident and walked directly to the mechanism and extended her hand.

"you……"

Tia was about to stop Valencia and tell her to stop messing around, but something moved in her heart.

Tia knows Valencia very well, and knows that Valencia seems stupid but is actually very cautious, even cautious enough to be described as sincere.

Now that Valencia would act so confidently, she must have discovered some clues... most likely when she just fought against the big fog demon dog.

Then let's see what she will do.

Under Tia's curious eyes, Valencia first hugged the upper part of the mechanism with both hands, but did not immediately spin it like Tia did. Instead, she stretched out two long black legs and covered the lower part of the mechanism as well. Clamp.

Finally, Valencia used both hands and feet to rotate the two cylinders in the upper and lower parts of the mechanism in opposite directions at the same time.

Gachi gachi...

This time it was obviously started correctly. After a burst of gear rotation, the mechanism disappeared under the chessboard completely, leaving only a phantom-like text floating in the air.

"This is...the trial instructions for this room?"

Valencia and Tia got together and looked at each other.

There is nothing special about the text. It just tells the tester that the trial theme of this room is to win a game of war chess, and briefly introduces the rules for those who may have never played war chess.

The only thing that is a little strange is that at the end of this text, there is a line of text that is completely different in color and size from the rest of the text:

[The chess field is like a battlefield. This trial is a war chess, but it is not entirely a war chess. The specific content needs to be experienced by the tester during the trial]

"...It's a war chess, but it's not exactly a war chess?"

Valencia and Tia looked at each other, and were about to take a closer look at the meaning of this sentence, but found that the text quickly disappeared, and the chessboard changed again.

The square under the two women's feet quickly rose up and flew to one side of the chessboard, directly above the position of the chess piece [King].

Directly opposite, at the same position, there is a square platform flying in the air. On the square platform is a black figure with a female body curve but no face visible.

The [King] chess piece has been played, and naturally the next step is the [Pawns] of both sides.

According to the rules of war chess, the squares at the initial positions of [soldiers] on both sides of the chessboard also rose, but they did not fly into the air. Instead, they opened like a wooden box, and out came the puppet soldiers wearing armor and holding spears.

The puppet soldiers on both sides look exactly the same, except for the different colors.

The puppet soldiers on Valencia and Tia's side are white, while those on the other side are black.

After all the [Kings] and [Pawns] on both sides of the chessboard were in place, the light in front of Tia lit up again, and a chessboard projection the size of a washbasin condensed and formed in front of her.

"Oh...it looks like the chess game is about to begin. I'll attack first!"

Tia was obviously no stranger to this phenomenon. She immediately declared to attack first, picked up a [Pawn] in the shadow of the chessboard in front of her, and took a step forward.

Almost at the same time, the white puppet soldiers at the corresponding positions on the big chessboard also moved, holding up their spears and advancing one square in an imposing manner.

"It turns out this is a control console..."

Only then did Valencia see the clue, and asked Tia curiously:

"Why are you so skilled? Could it be that you have played before? Why don't you let me play too?"

"Because you were working as a village girl in the countryside at that time."

Tia rolled her eyes at Valencia angrily:

"And even if you were still in the capital, you probably wouldn't be able to play it... because I only saw similar chess equipment when I was training with my teacher in the Sage Tower.

I heard that the Sage Council also helped when the monster dungeon was transformed into a trial maze...perhaps this chess piece is the design of the Sage Council, very similar to the one I saw at the Sage Tower. "

"Then you should be very stable this time..."

Valencia laughed easily:

"Chess is the war game you are most familiar with, and the chess equipment is also the chess equipment you have seen in the Sage Tower... This trial is just a bonus for you."

"maybe……"

Tia is indeed quite relaxed, and can even play chess while chatting with Valencia.

But as it rained, Tia suddenly frowned:

"There seems to be something wrong..."

"...What? Is it possible that you are going to lose?"

Thinking that many chess masters in her previous life could not beat the high-performance AI, Valensa was a little worried as she thought that this trial would be of the same type.

"...No, quite the opposite."

As a result, Tia shook her head:

"If I continue like this, I will definitely win, but it feels too easy..."

Chapter 140 The chess player comes out to beat someone!

"Isn't it bad that the opponent is weak?"

Valensa glanced at Tia strangely, rolled her eyes, showed a flattering smile, hugged Tia and pressed against her:

"Is there a possibility... that the opponent is actually not weak, but Tia, you are too powerful? After all, you are a famous and talented girl in the capital."

"Stop making trouble! I'm telling you something serious!"

Tia stepped on Valencia's feet angrily:

"It's okay if the opponent's chess moves are just weak, but this is really... well, probably you don't even have the skills you had when you were 10 years old, almost like a beginner who has just figured out the rules.

But how is this possible?This is a trial room with 3 points. Even if the fog demons that appeared when the mechanism was activated were added in, the chess game should not be so simple! "

"Emmm...what you said is really not right."

Valencia also frowned, but she did not let go of the hand holding Tia. Instead, she put her chin on Tia's shoulder and thought for a while:

"But even if we guess that there is a problem in the chess game, you can't deliberately admit defeat, right? In short, let's continue to play the normal chess game and see. The soldiers will block the water and the earth will cover it."

"we can only do this……"

Tia sighed and once again controlled the chessboard shadow in front of her to move the chess pieces.

The most important thing in the early stage of war chess is to design the position of the [soldiers].

Because the position on the chessboard is limited and [Pawns] cannot retreat, the [Pawns] of both sides will eventually encounter each other after advancing for several rounds.

Then whoever can plan the move well and capture the opponent's [Pawn] first and upgrade to the first [Chariot] will gain a huge advantage in the chess game.

As Tia said, the opponent's black shadow was very poor at chess. It could be said that the positioning of its [soldiers] had no skills at all, and it was just sent to Tia.

Tia is actually a little hesitant, but as Valencia said, you can't just give up just because your opponent is so weak, right?

"eat!"

So she still made a declaration of taking the piece and moved her [Pawn] towards the opponent's [Pawn].

According to the rules of war chess, Tia's white [soldier] should have replaced the black [soldier] at this time and upgraded to a [chariot].

But this was not the case on the big chessboard. After the black and white [Pawns] met on the same grid, they actually started fighting like they were on the battlefield.

The strength and speed of the two puppet soldiers are exactly the same, and the moves and routines are also the same. They are all desperate fighting styles that only attack but not defend. The battle looks quite fierce.

However, in just ten seconds, both [Soldiers] were pierced multiple times by the opponent's spears. Their strength obviously decreased and their movements became stiff, entering the stage of endurance competition.

"shit……"

Only then did Tia finally understand:

"No wonder the opponent has been using the simplest way to move the chess pieces. It's not because of poor chess skills, but to preserve the physical strength of these puppet soldiers to the greatest extent... Damn it!"

Sure enough, Tia's white [soldier] was slightly inferior in the end, and the scarred black [soldier] penetrated the core first, turning into parts and slowly disappearing.

The opponent's piece should have been captured, but it was captured by the opponent.

The black [soldier] that completed the beheading was shrouded in an arcane light after the victory. Although the scars on its body were still there, its aura was obviously much stronger.

It has been upgraded and is now a [Chariot].

"Damn it, damn it, damn it...where is this kind of war chess game! This is a complete lie!"

Tia gritted her teeth angrily and stamped her feet, but the fact that had happened could not be eliminated. She could only absorb the lessons learned and continue the chess game.
