I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

The girl who hugged the two tightly into her arms had tears running down her cheeks. After hearing what Rick and Shubi said, she raised her head and opened her mouth to Cheng Rang who was standing silently by the side, as if to say: "Please gone."

Such a strong petition reached Cheng Rang's heart through the semi-humid air.

Kelong could no longer hide the past on his face, and used a forced smile to fool the expression of the past. It was concern for his family, love, all expectations of good things, and strong emotions of reunion.

.......

"Cheng, he is a very powerful person, right?"

"Of course, the completion rate of tasks and entrustments is [-]% so far."

"Then please, bring Rick back unscathed... ok?"

"give it to me."

That was the commission that Kron gave himself when he and Rick went on their first expedition a year ago.

From the first time until every time after.

As long as Cheng Rang said: "Leave it to me." This sentence will surely achieve what he agreed on.

With such thoughts in mind, Kelong sent Cheng Rang his final request here again.

——Please, don’t let the two of them die!

This is already a request and entrustment that is different in nature from every previous one, no, it would be better to say - [Delivery].

I can't keep up with you guys, so please go with my share of expectations.

Looking at Ke Long's cheeks covered with tears, Cheng Rang closed his eyes, opened them again, and promised her in a very serious tone.

"give it to me."

.......

With a reassuring smile, Ke Long wiped away her tears and embarked on the journey back to the settlement. When she was parting, she sat on the horse and looked back at Cheng Rang for a long time. In the puzzled expression, he still didn't say anything.

Maybe this is the last chance... Kelong is very aware of this. For some reason, it may be a woman's intuition, she just knows it very well.

She clenched the rein tightly and urged the horse away, leaving behind a trail of dusty and frail backs that gradually drifted away in the black and gray wilderness.

----------------

The ghosts surrounded the round table, and the head of the ghosts spread his hands on the plate.

"We don't exist."

"Don't kill anyone, don't let anyone die, just use various means, intelligence, strategies and tricks to induce the battle situation - if there are rules and victory conditions, then it is clearly a [game]."

"Everything is determined on this map - that is, it can only be determined on the board. So... let's decide the 'chess pieces'."

Gathering all eyes and body, the leader of the ghost took out the white chess pieces.

"this is us."

White king.

"It's the weakest piece, the one that doesn't become anything else, but the most important piece, the one that ends when killed."

He put the pawn off the board and continued to explain.

"We are kings, but also - ghosts."

One who does not exist, one who cannot exist, and therefore does not allow to be perceived.

"We're nowhere, but we're everywhere. We're the ones who run everything from outside the box."

Then, a plurality of chess pieces are taken out, all of which are white chess pieces.

"Win the game without eating any pieces. Therefore all races are white."

Saying so, he took out the white soldier.

"This is a beastman."

He put the white soldiers on the plate, which is the habitat of the orcs.

One of the "ghosts" seemed to think of something funny, and said softly: "Beastmen? It seems that I have been recognized once, let me meet them."

.......

The three orcs lost their breath and wandered in the forest looking for food.

In this kind of world and era, it is not easy to secure food even for the Beastmen.After all, there are few normal animals alive, and other races that can hunt without taking risks are also limited.

They concentrate, exert their five senses, follow the smell - and finally find a prey.

——It’s human beings. Although this kind of animal is not very tasty, it can at least satisfy our hunger.

They communicate with a voice that only the Beastmen can hear, so even if the other party is a human, don't take it lightly.

The human being selected as the "prey" was wrapped in a black cloak, and a long white stick-shaped object was pinned around his waist, slightly propping up the hem of the cloak by half.

Surrounded, swarmed up——

Just when the sharp teeth were about to fall, they all leaped backwards as if they were bouncing off.

"Is this the beastman species...oh?

Hey~ It’s okay if you want to eat me, but I promise it will be hard to eat. "

"....who are you?!"

The three Beastmen showed full vigilance against a creature that looked like a human being who spoke the Beastman language.

At that moment, the intuition that only came from the beast rang the alarm bell crazily in his brain!

If you bite down - you will die!

Obviously that guy was just standing there without doing anything, his whole body was full of flaws, but it just happened to give people a sense of suffocation of death.

It seems that after opening your mouth, countless sharp blades have been placed between each tooth gap and inserted into your throat, causing you to feel sharp pain.

But he didn't do anything else, he just said: "The western gulf forest where the orcs are based, and the goblins are preparing to conduct a bomb detonation experiment there."

"what are you saying!"

Together, the three Beastmen observed each other using their five senses, which could be heard from the beating of the heart to the sound of blood flowing.

roar!torrent!Endless vitality.

The aura that belongs only to the strong is like the iron hooves of thousands of horses coming towards you.Trample, trample, and crush everything about you.

One of the orcs was so frightened that his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

——The body temperature is normal, and the heartbeat is also normal...but the feeling just now, what is that? !

The orcs looked at each other, and at the same time came to only one conclusion.

No matter how similar, the guy in front of him is definitely not human!

Stared at by his pitch-black eyes, you will gradually feel chills starting from the tips of your toes, and then you can't control your limbs, and your whole body slowly becomes stiff as if dead.

For the orcs with extremely sensitive five senses, this is simply torture.

"I don't need to lie, but if you have doubts, go to the place marked on this map. Are you a bloodbad individual? If it is a goblin facility, you should be able to sneak in easily and find out what they are doing That's right. I'll just give you a hint."

The orc named was the only bloodbad individual who didn't tremble so much that he was about to fall.

He went on to say: "That is——a weapon of mass destruction called [Marrow Explosion] that can kill even gods."

"!!!" Before he knew it, cold sweat had soaked his back, and the pupils of the beastman suddenly shrank into the most dangerous needle-like shape.

"Go find it, and then see whether you want to take it away or destroy their materials and equipment. But don't even think about destroying weapons! Because it is possible that everything will disappear at that moment, and the entire western part of the Lucia continent will be destroyed. That's why it's gone~"

Then, the mysterious [unknown creature] finished what he wanted to say, and left leisurely like this.

Chapter 57 A Chess Game Named "World" ([-])

"Huby, is there any reaction?"

"...No, no problem."

Hearing Rick's question, Hubby pretended to use the Ouija disk to detect the life reaction.

No one, after confirming this, the ghosts sneaked into the goblin facility together.

The steel building that was originally a goblin facility is now engraved with huge claw marks, and the original appearance is no longer visible.

There are even claw marks on the ground as deep as a human height.

"That's outrageous..." Rick commented calmly on everything in front of him.

There is no difficulty in this matter, just use the information on the strategy map a little bit, sneak into the fallen battleship that wiped out the settlement of goblins, and exchange a little bit of information through communication.

Next, it is enough to convey the facts to the Beastmen, and tell them that the residence of the Beastmen is the planned place for the detonation experiment.

"How many blood monsters broke in? With such a level of destruction, is it true that no one died, boss?"

"Yes, no, because there's no bloodstains—as expected of a beastman, with an amazing intuition." Rick answered the question of the people behind him.

If it is the five senses of the Beastman, it can use the inhuman five senses to calculate the number of people in the facility from a distance.

Then as long as there are an appropriate number of blood bad individuals rushing in, it will be fine.

Goblins are not stupid, they can't use magic casually next to the bomb that will destroy everything.

What if there are several blood-destroyed orcs?Is there any other option besides fleeing?

And the Beastmen are not stupid, the priority over the escaped Goblins is——

"The rumored marrow explosion seems to have been taken away, boss, is it a beastman or a goblin?"

"It's the orcs. Are there other species that can leave footprints on the floor made of steel?"

It was probably carried out by force.

But the intuition of the orcs should know the danger of the bomb best.So instead of running around with the bomb in their arms, they can only discard the bomb and run away.

"That's why I say it's a [game]."

As long as the conditions are right, this race will be completely irresistible to a certain race, and because of this, the war has continued.

"But the goblins won't leave it alone. The time limit is 15 minutes, and it will disappear after collecting information. [Ghost] is—"

"Doesn't exist anywhere, sworn to consent."

The ghosts dispersed together, and when each was collecting information, Shubi asked, "...Is this the transformation of the pawn...?"

"It's not that far yet, but..."

The reason why we choose beastmen as soldiers——Because

Because as long as they penetrate deep into the enemy's lines, soldiers can even become queens.

However, Rick smiled wryly.

"Even a soldier can capture a bishop... that's all."

--------------

The round table surrounded by ghosts, the leader of the ghosts once again opened his hands on the plate.

Then he took out White Castle.

"This is—the elves."

Saying so, he placed the White Castle on the plate, at the coordinates of the elves' capital.

"I'll go this time." Cheng Rang folded his arms and asked Rick in a serious tone.

"No, it can only be me." Rick stared into his eyes, "The wisdom and cunning of the elves are different from those of the orcs who can't use magic. What if we mess up?"

Cheng Rang's face tightened. Although he wanted to refute such straightforward words that he was an idiot, Rick was obviously more suitable for dealing with elves than himself.

"Even if I'm exposed, I won't let them chase after me. Escape is [-]% successful." Cheng Rang is doing the last fight.

"Then this battle will be a failure, a waste of fighter opportunities and intelligence."

Besides, with Cheng Rang's brutal method against the orcs last time, he might not be able to hide himself at all, and he might be able to provoke a war with the elves by himself, it's too unstable.

"Then..."

"You can't kill anyone, this is the rule of the game you promised me." Rick interrupted Cheng Rang, making him feel a little aggrieved.
