Chapter 214 Follow suit
The competition in the Colosseum will not be as intense as the previous two competitions, so everyone is more relaxed.
Rested for a night.
Get up on time at eight o'clock in the morning.
There are two hours left until the game starts.
After breakfast, everyone gathered in the conference room.
Martin came in with a tray, put it on the conference table, made a gesture of invitation, and quietly left.
In the following time, lots will be drawn to determine the identities and formulate competition strategies.
Eight round badges of exactly the same size, shape and material lay quietly on a tray padded with black velvet.
The shiny metal emits a faint luster under the light.
It is like gold but not gold, like copper but not copper. The refracted light is relatively cold and hard, and nothing can penetrate it, including mental power.
Holst knew it at a glance.
These badges are made of the rarest and most defensive metal in the universe.
It should be to prevent people from cheating in the game and using mental power to spy on the character represented by the badge.
The eight badges look exactly the same, so there is no way to choose.
The eight of them worked together and took the badges closest to them.
Mo Ting is a tiger.
Riley is a rat.
Dzeko is a wolf.
Chiye is a cat.
Holst is the leopard.
Ashley is the elephant.
Brian is a lion.
Sevilla is a dog.
Roles can only be swapped once.
Everyone looked at each other, then turned to look at Scarlett, as if asking for her opinion.
Scarlett spread her hands and said, "I have no objection."
In fact, the role is not important, what strategy is important.
Each grid has a trap or prop card, which can be used to attack the opponent's pieces after crossing the river.
This means that they have two paths to choose from when playing chess.
Attack or defense.
There are 252 squares, 126 for each side. The chess player uses his mental power to roll the dice and makes as many moves as the dice rolls.
Both horizontal and vertical orientations are acceptable.
If you want to move to a diagonal grid, you must shake to six and can only jump one grid.
The positions of chess pieces are random, they may be right by the river or scattered in every corner.
There is another possibility.
Enter the opponent's chessboard.
So strategy is important.
Riley took out a piece of paper and spread it out on the conference table. This was the chessboard layout he drew last night based on Martin's description.
With the distribution map, we can better analyze which road to take.
Riley said: "There are two uncertainties in the Colosseum: where are we located and how will the chess pieces attacking the chess master attack?"
"What kind of attack method?" Scarlett quickly looked at Riley, her eyes full of admiration.
Every time Riley comes to a problem, she always has a unique way of solving it, which never fails to surprise her.
Riley explained, "Your Highness is the chess master, not one of the eight characters. There's no such thing as a big-eating-small-eating attack. So, if we can find a way for a chess piece to attack the chess master and take precautions in advance, we can not only withstand the attack, but even counterattack."
Holst nodded in agreement. "That's right. Martin only explained the game process, but didn't say the chess master couldn't attack and kill pieces. This is a very vague line, and we can use it as a breakthrough to find more ways to deal with it."
Mo Ting looked at the badge in his hand, "Could it be mental power?"
Chi Ye said anxiously: "If it's mental power, Scarlett will be in greater danger. Her level is only A-level, and she may not be able to defeat the opponent."
Scarlett remained silent.
If we compare mental strength, she is indeed a wimp.
Brian, standing by, gave Scarlett a mysterious look and said, "Scarlett's level is indeed too low. She'll definitely get hurt in a mental battle. It would be great if she could level up quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, eight pairs of eyes looked at him.
His eyes were filled with deep inquiry.
Brian felt uneasy when they looked at him, but he said, "Why? I'm telling the truth. Scarlett does need an upgrade."
Scarlett rolled her eyes at him. "We're in the middle of a competition right now. How can we have the time to level up?"
"Not really." Ashley interjected with a blush.
Scarlett turned to look at him.
He pushed his glasses, which had slipped down his nose, to hide his guilty conscience. "The competition is held every three days, two out of three. We can, we can, use that method to level up."
Scarlett: “…”
Dzeko thought about it and said, "After the first game, we can definitely give it a try."
Scarlett: “…”
Riley's ears turned slightly red. "If it really has something to do with mental strength, the higher your level, the safer you are. This is a good idea."
Scarlett: “…”
no.
How did the topic get to this point?
Scarlett shook her head. "Well, let's talk about that later. Let's talk about what's happening right now."
She glanced at the countdown and reminded him, "One hour left."
The topic was brought back a little.
Continue to focus on the direction of chess and how to protect the chess master.
The conversation lasted for an hour.
The countdown is about to end.
Riley looked at the badge in his hand, his heart moved, and he looked at Scarlett. He found another loophole.
…
…
Nine o'clock.
A low bell rang in the villa.
The portal appeared at the right time, reminding them that it was time to enter.
Scarlett opened the door.
A flash of white light.
The magnificent conference hall instantly turned into a huge chessboard made of torreya wood.
Sixteen chess pieces fall into place.
The chess masters of both sides take their positions.
The final countdown is three minutes.
The game is about to begin.
Scarlett was at the back of the chessboard. As soon as she entered, the chessboard beneath her feet slowly rose to a height of ten meters, allowing her to overlook the entire chessboard.
That’s not all.
There is also a giant LED screen in front of her, on which the floor plan of the chessboard is displayed, making the game more convenient.
Scarlett is the red side, her chess piece is red, and she quickly finds her chess piece on the floor plan.
Six are on our side and two are on the enemy side.
The opponent's chess pieces are the same as hers.
It's just that the location distribution is different.
After three minutes, the game begins.
The other party's mental power is higher than hers, so the other party goes first.
Scarlett saw a sieve falling from the sky on the LED screen, carrying cyan spiritual power, and landed above the chessboard.
Six o'clock.
Scarlett's eyebrows twitched.
He quickly glanced at the chess pieces near his position.
There was no one above, below, or around her. The closest thing to her was the leopard, her own chess piece.
The opponent's chess piece was near the river, very far away from her, and she couldn't reach it even if she took six steps.
She felt relieved.
Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw the other party make a move.
She did not move the chess piece on Scarlett's side, but moved her own chess piece, moving it diagonally upwards.
Stay away from the red piece in the lower right corner.
Scarlett was stunned. Why did she leave like this?
It's her turn to roll the dice.
Scarlett moved her mind and raised the dice. The dice was heavier than she thought and it was difficult to lift it, so she threw it into the sky.
Six o'clock.
She followed suit and moved a chess piece on her side, moving it diagonally upwards.
other side:"???"
