The Dream of the Century - The War of Faith Chapter 26 Crossing the Desert
The yellow stone brick city wall with crossbowmen standing in the distance is taller than Romani. The buildings on both sides of these chess pieces are also two people tall. It is quite troublesome to touch the chess pieces.
"Since mages can do magic, then priests should also have something special." Romani squatted down and looked at the values on the counters of the chess pieces. "Compared to standard chess sports, it feels more like war chess, probably
Just like soldiers."
Underneath the first counter is a pattern of armor, under the second counter are muscular arms, and the caster's unique third counter is a fireball.
There are slides under the chess pieces on both sides, but the blue one cannot be pushed.
"It should be the number of special abilities. After all, if it's the number of hit points, it's obvious that the mage's pieces won't have more counters."
The counters are two and four for spear soldiers, four and six for sword and shield, two and three for archers, one and four for crossbowmen, six and eight for clerics, three and five for wolf demihumans, and zero for spellcasters
and four and two, and the orc warrior is five and seven.
"It seems to be armor, hit index, and number of special abilities. But it's not clear how the damage ability is calculated."
"I think the value on the armor pattern should be defense or health, and the value on the muscle pattern should be attack power. From a purely numerical perspective, the red team is at an absolute disadvantage." Romani has his own
View.
"If muscles are attack power, then the mage's chess piece has zero vitality and four attack points. It's obviously abnormal. And an army led by a hero is not necessarily inferior to soldiers." Esther retorted.
"It should be the other way around, zero attack power, four points of life force, and two special ability uses. The life force of spearmen, archers, and crossbowmen is not greater than four. If the caster's special ability is area damage and kills
If the power reaches four, there is still a chance of winning." Romani thought for a while and it really couldn't be zero life.
"Then the advantage of the caster is too great. And the armor can obviously reduce the damage." Esther shook his head.
"That priest is surprisingly powerful. Just looking at the numerical ability, it is higher than that orc warrior." Romani stood up.
"Perhaps the rule of this rule is that vitality and attack power coexist, and then maybe the armor in front is reduced." Esther made another conjecture. "But the choice of attack target is uncertain. But there is no doubt about the casting unit.
It’s very important.”
"Sword and shield soldiers have two more vitality points than spear soldiers. This is the benefit of having one more shield." Romani fiddled with it. "Both board games are turn-based. In a round, either side will
In turns, one side chooses a unit to perform an action, or each unit can perform an action in a round. In chess, the latter happens a lot."
"However, with this degree of dispersion, only two fireballs may not be as useful as imagined, and I don't know if these buildings can be occupied to gain gains or something." But since Romani has already touched it, Esther will not do it for the time being.
Planning to enter the chessboard.
"Another point is the distance of attack..." Especially the priest on the red side. In Romani's eyes, this priest is somewhat special. If the special ability in the mage's hand is the king's final means of turning the tables,
Then this priest is at least a super-standard being like a fortress or a bishop.
Afterwards, the wolf demi-human's chess piece's eyes lit up first. Romani tried to touch the priest chess piece, but there was no response. "What do these bright eyes mean? Does it mean it's this demi-human's turn?"
Esther saw that there were no new changes when he came up, so naturally he could only go to the werewolf demi-human and touch it to check the situation. There was no reaction when he touched it, but the bottom part was loose and it seemed that he could push it now.
Esther pushed the demi-human towards the shield to see if he could be on the same square or pass through. Obviously, it was impossible to push it through physically, but he could still push the demi-human's chess piece. "If you can't regulate the order of actions, that's not possible.
Wonderful."
He controlled the demi-human to retreat one square, and first tested his mobility. Repeat until all his mobility was exhausted to see how much mobility he had. After testing, the demi-human chess piece could move four times. "Then the other moves are probably four times, or less."
"
Now the Orc Warrior's chess piece's eyes lit up. "The buildings seem to be unoccupied and cannot provide obstacles for gain, but they may be able to prevent the opponent's long-range attacks."
Esther tried again, but the orc warrior could only move three spaces. In the end, he only actually advanced one space.
Now the eyes of the red sword and shield chess piece under the helmet light up, and it can only move two spaces by rubbing it back and forth.
Esther took two consecutive shots of the spearman who continued to light up, but there was no standby option.
Then Esther said that Romani would move the three spearmen at the back first, and then he would gradually walk towards the blue chess piece to see if he could check the warning range, attack range, etc.
Romani pushed the mage down hard, and it stopped moving after two blocks. Finally, the priest lit up. "Can the priest use long-range attacks?" Romani patted the priest and said, "Cast a holy fire spell on the nearest crossbowman on the wall.
.” However, there was no response, and it stopped moving after I pushed it two spaces forward.
Now it's the blue chess piece's turn to act. Both spearmen and orc warriors were attacked by a red light from the enemy's archers and crossbowmen on the city wall. The arrows of the chess piece were not actually shot out, and then the spearman's power counter
It decreased by two, but the Orc Warrior counter did not change.
But I don’t know why one of the crossbowmen didn’t attack. The other blue chess pieces didn’t have enough mobility to reach the red face, but only the first eight chess pieces moved. The others were blocked by buildings and didn’t seem to be noticed.
"It seems that if the muscles do not exceed the shield, it cannot cause the reduction of muscle marks. But if this is simply the case, it seems that both priests and warriors are invincible, and perhaps the defense will be broken with accumulation." Esther said.
"I'm more inclined to think that they have other hidden values that we can't observe." Romani shook his head.
Now it was the demihuman chess piece's turn to move. Instead of pushing it, Esther ran out of movement and let the orc warrior hit a blue spearman.
After the collision, the warrior's armor counter decreased by one, while the spearman's armor counter returned to zero directly, leaving only one in the strength counter. After that, the warrior's red light disappeared, but this time it only moved two spaces.
Pushing first and then colliding to move half a square seems to completely consume one square of movement. "It also consumes a little movement to launch an attack, and then it comes to the shield." Esther pushed all the other chess pieces down.
The action of the blue chess piece reduced the armor counter of the red sword and shield by one, and the armor counter of the orc warrior decreased by one. Then the warrior counterattacked with an ax and killed one of the opponent's spearmen.
But then another blue spearman dropped the orc warrior's armor counter to two, and the strength counter dropped to six, which already started to break the defense.
The warrior did not trigger a counterattack again, and the sword and shield had no ability to counterattack. Then one of the archers had no effect on the sword and shield's attack, and the other dropped the orc's power counter to five. "It seems that the attack power will not increase with the
Reduced due to decreased vitality?”
"What's the reason why the orc's power counter dropped to five?" Romani asked. He didn't look like a mage at the moment.
"When the archer attacks, the orc has only two points of armor, and the archer attacks with three points. It is not surprising that the strength is reduced. It is strange that the armor is reduced only when the orc counterattacks with the first spear. It is probably because the attack is not reduced due to injury."
Esther watched the blue sword and shield attack the red spearman whose power counter was only two. Then the floor of the red spearman lowered and sent it in. After the floor rose, the sword and shield walked into the floor.
The crossbow soldier's attack was ineffective against the priest, but another attack knocked off the two-point strength counter of one of the spearmen. "The algorithm of long-range combat seems to be different from that of melee. The spear was directly hit with two counters. But the damage seemed to be
There are also accumulated residues, which is really troublesome." Esther once again used up the demihuman's movement power without sending it into the battlefield, and then used the half-orc warrior to hit the opponent's sword and shield.
The armor counter of the blue sword and shield instantly reset to zero, and the strength counter decreased by one. He controlled the red sword and shield to attack one of the blue spearmen. Now the armor counter of the sword and shield was reduced to two, and the armor counter and strength counter of the spearman
Decrease by one and two respectively.
Esther thought for a while and pushed one of the spearmen with a full strength counter over, reducing the blue sword and shield's strength counter by four points, leaving only one point.
It's the enemy's action again, the blue sword and shield attacks the orc warrior, the warrior's armor counter is reduced to one point, and then the sword and shield is defeated by the counterattack and goes underground.
The spearman's attack reduced the armor counter of the red sword and shield to one, and another spearman filled the battle line to the right. Then came the opponent's two spearmen, hitting the sword and shield to one and four, and the orc warrior to one
and three.
Crossbow soldiers whose attack routes are blocked by priests are still ineffective. The currently known characteristics of the hero are warrior movement speed three, armor breaking and counterattack. Demihuman movement speed four. Priests and mages are not yet known.
Esther still kept the demi-human in place, returning up and down repeatedly. "We have to try to see if the priest can increase the shield and the warrior's health. There is a big problem below. And the spear cannot penetrate people. If I want to move this round,
The one who took the arrow will definitely be stuck."
It's another round of blood rotation, and the red side is in trouble. "I don't think they can beat it." Romani was a little pessimistic.
Esther tried to push the half-orc warrior against the priest to see if there were any action options. But he couldn't push it, and it locked up halfway. "The starting position of the battle was not adjusted well, the algorithm was not clear, and it couldn't pass much the first time."
It’s strange, it’s much easier to beat if you know the algorithm.”
When it was the mage's turn, Romani clicked on the third mark first to see if he could activate the fireball, but the result was that he could only push. I meant pressing the icon, but it couldn't be pressed. After trying it, the mage could hit the warrior, and the warrior chess piece was moved.
Shen was replaced with a bear chess piece of zero and ten, and then the mage's third counter became one. "This is interesting, transformation."
