It is impossible to defeat a powerful enemy like Mei Shuai at once. The only thing Downton can do is to gain a slight advantage and then eventually defeat him.
Because he had been teased by Downton repeatedly just now, Rommel was eager to see him admit defeat and make a big fool of himself, so he started by attacking.
Downton chose to be defensive and evasive, and tried not to exchange coins unless absolutely necessary.
In any battlefield, a strong effort will be lost again and again, and then it will be exhausted. Therefore, after dozens of moves, Rommel found that Downton was not weak at chess and had no way to stop. He could only bite the bullet and attack wildly.
Downton also resisted the ups and downs, but fortunately he withstood it. Not only did Homer teach him, he was also taught by his mother when he was a child.
Before her son goes to bed, the former saint does not tell fairy tales like ordinary mothers, nor does she play guessing games, but instead develops her son's intelligence.
Board games are always the best choice.
"Thanks mom!"
Downton murmured, and gradually discovered the mystery of the chess game.
"Why does my queen get bitten off when it eats a pawn?"
The devil yelled at the queen. He also knew now that if the chess piece is damaged, the combat power will be damaged.
"Think for yourself!"
The Queen refused to answer.
"I think you've discovered it."
Rommel stared at Downton.
The combat effectiveness of each chess piece consists of several parts. The professional category of the chess piece itself accounts for the largest proportion, followed by the strength of the person as the chess piece. For example, when a soldier of Sheng Aoxun is stepped on by a dragon-slaying horse,
You can redeem it.
In addition, Mei Shuai speculates that the morale, determination of the chess players, and the bond with the player will all have an impact on the combat effectiveness of the chess pieces.
At this moment, Mei Shuai felt a little regretful. He had indeed fallen into the trap. Choosing these subordinates who were not loyal enough was a bad move.
"nonsense!"
Downton showed a polite attitude. He raised his middle finger and cursed, "You want to admit defeat now? It's over, just wait to be strangled by me!"
"you……"
The handsome man was furious. However, he suppressed his anger. He knew that the opponent deliberately provoked him to attack after seeing that he had slowed down his offensive.
After all, only by taking a long exam can you have an overview of the whole situation and avoid making mistakes.
The chess game continued and gradually entered a stalemate stage. Downton finally understood why Rommel was so confident. This guy was proficient in all kinds of chess games and usually used them as a means of relaxation and leisure.
"Don't worry, victory will definitely belong to me." Rommel encouraged his subordinates, "Don't forget, I am a man who once defeated the chess king."
"Yes, you will win, but they will die."
Downton teased and began to implement the next battle plan.
"It sounds so grand, but aren't your chess pieces also dying?"
Rommel retorted.
"Yes, you are also dying, dying for me."
Downton's eyes were moist.
Without more words, just an expression can let the subordinates who are chess pieces understand who is the commander who loves his subordinates, Downton or Rommel.
"The acting was good."
Beautiful attack.
"Haha, it's better than someone who's not even willing to act, right? This shows that in your heart, these chess pieces have no value in being deceived by you. It's really sad."
Downton shook his head and lamented.
"These chess pieces are not only my subordinates, but also my comrades, companions, and brothers. Even in a fatal battle, I will try my best to save them."
Saying even half a sentence will lead to endless thoughts.
When Downton was on the defensive, he looked like he was fighting for his men's lives, while when Rommel was on the offensive, he always had the image of a utilitarian regardless of his thoughts.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, I am here for the ideals of the Führer."
Rommel found that the chess pieces were more susceptible to damage. Even if they captured the opponent, they would be seriously injured. This was because the chess pieces were hesitating and their morale was declining.
"Oh, does the head of state's ideal have anything to do with you?
Downton asked rhetorically.
"What about you?"
The handsome man stared at Downton, "Hypocritical and artificial!"
"Haha, you are the most ridiculous person in the world. You don't think that Arnold and the others sacrificed their lives for my ideals, do you?"
Downton sneered, "At first, they did it for food and clothing, but now, it's for a better life for the tribe."
Rommel was stunned. He originally wanted to undermine Downton's morale, but he didn't expect that this guy would admit it so easily.
"A group, no matter how lofty the leader's ideals are, cannot be sustained. The bigger it is, the faster it collapses. You have to understand that in this group, only when everyone can get what they need, can they be together.
It explodes with maximum energy."
Downton answered loudly.
When the other chess players heard this, they all fell into deep thought, and Twilight also showed a hint of understanding. She finally knew how to face her subordinates.
"you……"
Rommel wanted to refute, but as the number one think tank, he knew that Downton was right. People at the bottom, even the middle and higher levels, did not care about the Führer's ideals. They just wanted to think better.
"My chess pieces are dead, but their deaths were valuable in exchange for food, clothing, and accommodation. Where are your chess pieces? Oh, they defended the will of the head of state, but your head of state doesn't even know their names.
"
Downton continued to talk.
"We can't let this guy talk anymore."
The handsome man was about to speak, but was interrupted by Downton.
"Yes, you can give me a medal. If it's not enough, just add another one. Life is regardless of high or low. It cannot be measured by a piece of iron."
Downton is eloquent.
"Our pensions are never withheld." Rommel snorted, "And their deaths are full of honor."
"Then why don't you kill others?"
Of course Downton knew the flaw in this logic, so he changed the subject, "Why are these chosen as chess pieces not your direct descendants?"
This time, the chess pieces were silent collectively. No force is monolithic, and the leader needs to check and balance.
Even if it is a direct lineage, it must be divided into ~ lines.
Downton had just used words to bully Rommel, so that he did not choose his cronies as chess pieces. Now the conflict has broken out. The chess pieces are not stupid. You will know the answer if you look at the people left behind.
"Do you understand? You fools, you have been abandoned."
Downton mocked and started to fight back.
"Don't listen to them. You are equally important in my heart."
Rommel tried to save. Once there is a crisis in trust, it will collapse like an avalanche. In normal times, the US commander can still use time to repair it, but now, under the pressure of death, every chess piece is bearing the burden of death.
Enormous pressure.
Downton's instigation had a huge effect. Seeing that the opponent's combat power was greatly reduced, he immediately launched an offensive.
As Downton expected, the combat power of the chess pieces is closely related to their determination and the trust of the players. When all the chess pieces begin to hate Rommel, it is only a matter of time before the distance collapses.
Internal strife began. Some chess pieces showed their loyalty and proved that they were fighting for the ideals of the head of state, but in return they received blank looks from others, because a better model like Downton was in front of them.
"Too insidious."
The Queen shook her head. Rommel should not have talked so much to Downton from the beginning, nor should he be so confident. If he had treated him as an enemy of the same level, such a mistake would not have occurred.
War is like this. The soldiers may be determined at first, but as the fight continues, they watch themselves and their companions die. No matter how strong their hearts are, they will be crushed if they are not comforted.
If it were on the battlefield, there would be clergy to guide you, but this is a chess game.
It must be said that Rommel was worthy of the title of his number one think tank. Even if the chess pieces turned into a piece of loose sand, he still used his superb chess skills to draw a draw.
Downton has more chess pieces left, but it can no longer form a siege.
"Haha, how was it? Are you disappointed?"
The handsome man wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Downton's disappointed expression, and laughed wildly.
"Disappointed? No, this is the result I want most."
Of course Downton wanted to kill Rommel, but he couldn't say it. Instead, he sneered, "By the way, don't you want to defeat me? Wait until next time."
"you……"
Rommel was stunned for a moment, then reacted, extremely angry, "This guy can't beat me, so from the very beginning, he went for a draw."
"Sorry to disturb you two. If there is a draw, the chess game will enter sudden death mode. After each step, the occupation of the chess pieces will change, such as the mutiny rook. In addition, you all only have ten minutes to think."
The queen suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two people.
"What?"
The sweat on Rommel's forehead turned directly into the Niagara Falls. He had few chess pieces, so he was naturally at a disadvantage in this mode.
"If my rook turns into a pawn, I will definitely lose."
Rommel glanced at the situation, and with his sharp eyesight, he could see the results of the battle at a glance, "You are deliberately trying to trick our Evil God camp, right? I'm not convinced!"
"Is the dog jumping over the wall? Is this the wail of a defeated dog?" Downton chuckled, deliberately irritating Rommel, "You still call yourself handsome? Don't you think about the situation after a draw?"
Rommel was so angry that he felt itchy, the situation? He could obviously win, why should he consider it? The guy opposite him would be more far-sighted than he thought.
"Sorry, you lost!"
Downton puts the queen down.
"General!"
This sound was full of confidence, free and easy, and full of mourning for his dead subordinates. Downton no longer looked at Rommel's face, but murmured and recited a requiem hymn for his subordinates.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Queen applauded.
"Congratulations, you won!"
"No, how could I die in a place like this?" Rommel roared, "I am a handsome man, and I am the smartest person in the Zhenxi Demon Empire. This is not my ending!"
Fox's body collapsed little by little, removing impurities, and finally only a light group remained. Then the light group dissipated, leaving behind a chess piece.
It's a flying elephant!
"Rommel is dead?"
Others looked at Downton with expressions that looked like they had seen a ghost. He actually defeated the world-famous handsome man?
"Great, I won!"
The knights cheered and jumped up excitedly. This guy had caused huge damage to the Western-Turkish Allied Forces. Now that he is dead, it can be said that he deserves to be celebrated by the whole continent. (To be continued.)
