Chapter 14: Self-destructing Cannon Cart
"No way..." Anson Lu covered his ears with his right hand and was stunned for half a second, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Although he had expected the cannon statue to be very powerful, he had never imagined it to be this powerful: killing six ghost warriors instantly with one shot! What a spectacular scene!
If this is the case, then how powerful would the most powerful queen in chess be? The more Anson Lu thought about it, the more he looked forward to the scene after obtaining the "Queen's Stone Statue".
Not only will the queen be obtained, but the bonds of the chess set will also be activated, and the king's stone statue will undergo a powerful transformation. That is what Anson Lu is most looking forward to.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his ears.
[After the cannon statue fires a cannonball, it needs to cool down for 10 minutes before it can fire again.]
[During the cooling period, if you forcefully fire the cannon, the cannon statue will instantly overheat and explode.]
Anson Lu put his hand on his chin, "Ten minutes of cooling. With my current mana, I can only maintain the chess field for 10 minutes at most. How can I wait for the second shot?"
If it were an ordinary person, he would only be able to get one piece of information from the system prompt: the artillery vehicle can fire a shell every 10 minutes, but Anson Deer's attention was focused on the following narrative.
"During the cooling time, if you force the cannon to fire, it will overheat and explode." Anson Lu raised his eyebrows, thinking, "In other words, if an enemy approaches the cannon during this period, you can force the cannon statue to fire, causing it to overheat and explode."
Although Anson Deer's thoughts were scattered, the battle continued.
From Chess-kun's bird's-eye view, there were as many as seventeen ghost warriors gathered on this side of the commercial street.
Up until now, although Anson Deer's killing speed was fast enough, he only actually killed nine of them, leaving eight ghost warriors to deal with.
This is not a difficult task. At the same time, he also wants to use this opportunity to verify his own conjecture: whether the cannon statue can serve as a "suicide soldier" during the cooling period.
Anson Lu said, "The cannon statue, move to the E3 grid to replace the pawn statue. The pawn statue moves to the D5 grid to support the knight statue in taking down the other four ghost warriors."
As soon as the words fell, the stone statue of the cannon cart and the stone statue of the soldier took action at the same time. The wheels of the cannon cart rolled and turned, and in just a few seconds they passed by the stone statue of the soldier, exchanging their positions.
The stone statue of the soldier moved swiftly and came to the stone statue of the knight with great fighting spirit. The two stood back to back, watching over each other's enemies behind. This was a form of ultimate trust.
“Huff!”
The knights wielded their spears and the soldiers slashed with their steel swords.
Cold arcs of light swung through the air, and blood also peeled off from the bodies of the ghost warriors in arc shapes.
"roar!!!"
The ghost warriors within a two-meter radius were beaten back step by step. They had no power to fight back and only had the strength to wail.
Originally, the stone knight statue was enough to resist the four ghost warriors on its own.
Not to mention, now the stone statues of soldiers have come to the battlefield to support them, and the coordination between the two is perfect.
Even though the enemy outnumbers us, we still advance with great momentum.
The four ghost warriors tried to struggle to their death, but they were as powerless as babies in front of the knights and soldiers. They were killed one after another in just three seconds.
“Crash——”
The dark blood floated above the street like black mist and quickly evaporated into gas.
Then, the system prompt sounded in Anson Lu's ears.
[Kill four ghost warriors, get 40 evolution coins, 200 experience points, materials: 4 decayed broken blades, 4 decayed armors, which have been automatically included in your baggage space]
[Your level: Lv2 (500/800 experience points)]
[You can block this prompt sound and settle all the accounts after a complete battle. Do you want to block it? ]
Anson Lu really wanted to say: "Come on, it sounds good, why block it!"
But use your brain a little instead of being dominated by the mental pleasure brought by dopamine.
You can see that in battle, the continuous system notification sounds ringing in your ears will indeed interfere with your concentration to a great extent, and you may lose your life if you are not careful.
Therefore, based on the above careful considerations, he made a very cautious decision.
"No." Anson Deer said expressionlessly, "Come on, it's not a game if you don't have fun playing it."
Now he is only 300 experience points away from reaching level three. After reaching level three, he will receive a novice sequence reward. This reward is Anson Deer's primary goal.
300 experience points represent 6 Ghost Warriors.
Now the situation has been settled. The stone statues of the knight and the soldier are still there, and the minor wounds on their bodies have been healed by the stone statue of the bishop, so Anson Deer looked at the last remaining battlefield.
The cannon cart statue just replaced the soldier statue to attract the attention of the four ghost warriors, allowing the soldier statue to go back to support the knight statue.
At this moment, the remaining four ghost warriors on the commercial street naturally all rushed towards the cannon cart statue.
"roar!!!"
Amid the unpleasant roars, the poor artillery carriage was brutally ravaged by the four ghost warriors with their swords. The steam that continued to emit from the barrel floated towards Anson Deer as if asking for help.
The most helpless thing is that after the cannon statue fires a shot, it will be in a cooling state within ten minutes. If you insist on firing another shot at this time, it will explode due to overheating!
"Right now." Anson Lu stared at the four ghost warriors gathered near the artillery vehicle, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "Let's see how powerful the self-detonation of the artillery vehicle is. If it works, we will continue next time."
As if expressing dissatisfaction or carrying out Anson Deer's orders, the stone statue of the cannon carriage made a "humming" sound, and the black barrel quickly turned a dangerous red.
The next moment, the entire stone statue of the cannon cart exploded!
“Bang!”
With a deafening roar, the remains of the stone statue of the cannon cart and the four ghost warriors were destroyed in the flames. Not even a trace of blood could be seen as they were engulfed by the flames.
[Kill four ghost warriors, get 40 evolution coins, 200 experience points, materials: 4 decayed broken blades, 4 decayed armors, which have been automatically included in your baggage space]
[Your level: Lv2 (700/800 experience points)]
"The health bar disappearing spell, this is..." Anson Deer was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "The damage of the self-destruction seems to be higher than the cannon it fired."
"The correct method of the cannon cart stone statue, GET!"
He slowly raised the corners of his mouth, his dark brown eyes filled with unconcealable surprise.
The current situation verified that an idea in Anson Deer's mind was indeed feasible - if the enemy approached him, he would use the sequence skill [King's Protection] to call back the cannon cart statue on cooling down, and then let the cannon cart statue self-destruct.
Perfect combo!
Wang Hu can provide Anson Deer with 2 seconds of damage and control immunity, and the damage will be transferred to the recalled chess piece.
Therefore, Anson Deer itself will not be harmed by the self-explosion and can evacuate in time within two seconds.
It just so happens that the cannon statue is also going to self-destruct, so there is no problem in letting its remaining body bear the damage.
Anson Lu raised his lips, "Another trump card, and it is a killer in the battle against players."
When the opponent took great pains to bypass countless war chess pieces and finally approached Anson's Deer, he found that Anson's Deer was not only immune to damage, but also recalled a suicide truck. The scene then became interesting.
Just imagining it made Anson Deer so happy.
“Woo——”
The air was filled with pungent black smoke, which spread in all directions. The stone statue of the knight loyally stood in front of Anson Deer, waving his spear to blow away the unpleasant black smoke.
Minoru Iwata used his left index finger to tap his right index finger and asked softly, "Maru... Maruyama, why do I feel like this old chess player is a little biased towards this stone knight statue?"
Maruyama Jun was still a little overwhelmed. He stared blankly at the stone statue of the knight who was protecting Anson Deer from the wind and rain, and asked stutteringly.
"But...but where is my heart? Why didn't I notice it?"
"Well..." Iwata Minoru paused and said weakly, "Well, what a miserable artillery vehicle."
