Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 197: Chessboard in the Box, Playing Chess

Hearing Niu Niu gloating there, I became even more sad and angry when I went ashore.

He wasn't even given a chance to resist and was just forced to be killed according to the plot. What a crappy dungeon!

When he got ashore, he shouted in grief and anger.

But soon, as the scene before his eyes changed and the text in the prompt bar appeared, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The giant stretched out his hands and grabbed both ends of his body and broke them apart violently.

Click.

After a crisp sound, a pile of rubble fell.

But when he got ashore, he clearly saw that his petrified body had come to a corner next to the pure white box.

[The Kingdom Giant calmly saved a chess piece]

[You escaped a disaster, maybe you can play at a critical moment]

"Ah this?"

When he saw this on the shore, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was pleasantly surprised.

Damn, Niu Niu was right. This giant from the kingdom was indeed someone you couldn't afford to play with. He actually stole the chess piece that was originally going to be disposed of.

He doesn't have to die!
"Oh, what a great design, Lingzhu. What a wonderful plot. Thumbs up to the planner!"

His expression changed the moment he got ashore, and he smiled.

The other four people on the chessboard were also shocked when they saw this.

"Ah? It's really cheating. This giant in the kingdom is so mean. Hahaha..." Gua Gua laughed at what he saw.

"This plot design is really in line with the character of the giant in this kingdom." Frog touched his chin.

"Oh my, this kid actually got away with it." Niu Niu was very disappointed and shook his head and said, "It would be better to save a soldier chess piece."

"Damn it, you stupid cow, you wish I'd die, don't you?" Shangan said angrily, his nose almost crooked when he heard this.

Niu Niu chuckled when he heard this.

"It's about to begin." Gray Sky, who had been paying attention to the situation, reminded at the right time.

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention back.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, the "cg animation" of the two giants also advanced synchronously with the prompts in the information.

【Board ready】

[The chess box is opened by the giant, revealing the two incompatible camps of the Kingdom and the Monsters]

[The two giants begin to place their chess pieces...]

The pure white box was opened, and the petrified people on the chessboard began to be manipulated by the Kingdom Giant and placed in the chess box together with other chess pieces.

The chess box is divided into two camps, the kingdom and the monster camp.

Each faction has five buildings.

On the kingdom side, they are "Front Line", "Moat", "City Wall", "Residential Houses" and "Palace".

On the monster side, there are the "battlefield", "blood pool", "meat wall", "hatching area" and "nest".

Each building has different functions, and the chess pieces of the camp can enjoy different bonuses and influences in it, and the buildings have certain influences on each other.

For example, the "Residential" building can restore the status of the kingdom's chess pieces, but if the "city wall" in front is gone, this effect will disappear.

Among the five buildings, the most important ones are the "Royal Palace" and the "Nest".

When one of the camp's important buildings is occupied or destroyed, that camp is declared defeated.

The "chess pieces" represented by the five-member team will play an indispensable role in this process.

The chess pieces of both camps were also roughly divided into categories.

There are roughly five categories: "Soldier", "Water Monster", "Ranged", "Giant", and "King".

Note that this is a general category, not a specific type. There are many more specific types, and they are difficult to distinguish.

After all, in the "long-range" category alone, there are quite a few pieces such as "Mage", "Archer" and "Pitcher".

Moreover, the chessboard is far from being that simple. The two giants outside the chessboard are not just for show. They will exert various "influences" during the game, making the situation more changeable and the chess pieces will also undergo further changes...

at this time.

Niu Niu, Tianji and some other [Soldier] chess pieces were placed on the front line, closest to the opposing monster camp.

Frog and some strange-looking "water monster" chess pieces were put into the moat.

Guagua was placed at the back and was put into the [Knight] column of the palace.

As for going ashore, all they could do was sit in the corner and watch the kingdom giant play chess.

After a while, the chess pieces were almost all in place, and the two giants put them back on the serving tray.

[The chessboard is about to be closed.]

"What the hell, why is it none of my business? Why don't you put me on the list too?"

When I got ashore, I was dumbfounded. He was still standing in the corner, motionless.

However, it seemed that due to the influence of the power of the spirit candle, he was still able to act from the third-person perspective of a wandering soul for the time being.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Just wait." Niu Niu rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "This kingdom giant cheated to keep you here. How could they let you in so blatantly?"

"Okay." After hearing this, Shangan felt that it made sense, so he put aside his impatience and watched the actions of others with interest.

But he couldn't see anything at the moment because the box was closed and he could only type in the chat box.

[The box in the house slowly closes. After a moment of darkness, a dim light envelopes the room. The battle between the kingdom and the monsters begins...]

The perspective falls on the chessboard.

Click click click...

A chess piece that looked like a soldier seemed to be affected by some force. It moved suddenly and dust fell off its body. The next moment, his whole body moved.

The same was true for the four people on the chessboard. They tore off the restrictions one after another and gained the ability to move freely.

Niu Niu glanced at the surrounding environment.

In front of you are the ruins of a battlefield filled with potholes and corpses, and in the back are the city walls surrounded by a moat. They are so lifelike that they are almost indistinguishable from reality, and it is hard to tell that this is a so-called "chessboard".

There are no milestone spirit candles on the chessboard, which may be related to the special nature of the copy.

Of course, his attention was not on the chessboard environment, but rather he moved forward to tap and touch a [Kingdom Soldier] next to him.

The [Kingdom Soldiers] of the slag grade remained indifferent, staring straight ahead, ready for battle, not affected at all by the stinky-looking "block of dung" in front of them.

Niu Niu even came behind him, stretched out his claws, and seemed to want to do something bad.

Wait, what are you doing? That soldier looks like a scumbag. Don't do anything weird...

Tianji’s pupils shrank when he saw this and he was about to speak.

But right under his nose, Niu Niu picked up the kingdom soldier with great effort, then turned him over and did a handstand.

thump.

After Niu Niu let go of his hand, the soldier quickly fell to the ground with a thud, then stood up stiffly, holding a long knife and continuing to be on guard.

"..."

...Okay, this isn't a violation.

Tianji wanted to say something but stopped himself, and just as he was about to say it, he swallowed it back.

"How about we dig a hole and bury him and see if he can crawl out?" Niu Niu touched his chin and suggested to Tianji.

buried alive...

...After all, you are a friendly pawn, brother.

Tianji was speechless upon hearing this.

He had naturally heard of Niu Niu's deeds, but now it seems that he had underestimated the other party.

"I suggest that we make some arrangements first. The game may start soon."

Tianji said helplessly.

"Okay." Niu Niu smacked his lips when he heard that, and came to an area in front and began to release the foul smell of feces.

However, he never crossed the boundaries between the two camps.

Because the game that could really affect the situation had not really started yet. Before the game started, he had already tasted the consequences of crossing the line.

Under the tall city walls.

Frog was lying on the surface of the moat, swimming among a group of fish-headed monsters.

These [water monsters] also looked stupid and had no self-awareness, so Frog could only chat with them when they came ashore.

The situation on Guagua's side is similar.

……

The crowd didn't talk much.

Because the game has begun.

[The two giants began to play the game of the box in the house. ]

[After some discussion, the two giants decided to have a head-on confrontation first. Both sides were confident in their arrangements and chess pieces.]

[The boundaries between the camps have disappeared, and the war has begun...]

"Woo——"

"Roar--"

Almost at the same time, the [Command Monsters] on the Monster side and the [Flag Soldiers] on the Kingdom side both issued orders.

In an instant, soldiers on both sides rushed out in full force.

The Kingdom's soldiers in full armor roared, while the monsters filled with skeleton zombies let out terrifying roars.

……

After receiving the information prompt, messages popped up one after another in the team channel.

My hamster is called Gua Gua: "Phew, luckily it's not the monster roaming around like last time, that would be too scary..."

Scheming Frog: "A head-on confrontation? Isn't this a disadvantage? This kingdom giant is really a lousy chess player..."

My son failed the exam and I got a pass: "Oh, it makes me itchy, hurry up and put me in!"

"Hahahaha! God has eyes!"

Niu Niu was ecstatic and burst into laughter.

"I was faced with a head-on confrontation. Luckily I prepared for it long enough!"

"Tianji, stay away."

Hearing Niu Niu's reminder, Tianji said nothing and just stood still.

Seeing this, Niu Niu glanced at his hand wrapped in corpse dung shells, where the flames of war were burning.

Then, he smiled sinisterly and rushed towards the location where the foul smell of feces was that he had arranged.

"Art……"

Niuniu roared and was about to explode in the dense and foul smell of the monsters' feces.

"It just exploded..."

Bang!
But before he could finish his words, he was hit head-on by a huge figure. He flew backwards for a long distance and then fell into the moat with a thud, splashing water everywhere.

"...Are you okay?"

Seeing this, Frog quickly helped him up, then washed his hands calmly.

"Grass!"

Niu Niu quickly stood up and looked towards the center of the battlefield with anger.

[The Monster Giant sent out the "Giant Beast"]

He saw that a large monster of charcoal grade called [City-Destroying Giant Bone] had appeared in the place where he had placed the foul smell of feces.

This large monster is a "giant beast" with a body covered in white bones. One of its arms is particularly conspicuous, like an oversized sledgehammer. If it is used to attack a city, it will undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort.

This is indeed the main use of this chess piece.

However, it was not in a hurry to attack the city at this time. Instead, it relied on its huge size to trample and crush the Kingdom's pawns on the battlefield.

Wang Guofang's chess piece, which was no match for the opponent, was naturally suppressed in an instant, and the situation was not optimistic.

"Damn it, the other side directly sent a behemoth. Using a siege weapon to attack others is not worth playing, right?"

Niu Niu felt extremely aggrieved. If the explosion just now had hit the target, the monsters would have definitely suffered heavy damage.

But he was interrupted at the critical moment, and it was impossible to rearrange the explosion area.

This made him extremely depressed.

"You sent out a giant beast just like them, but why didn't you think of this? No wonder you can't win even if you cheat! You're such a bad chess player!"

Niu Niu cursed.

The Kingdom of Giants is lame, but it’s also really bad.

Look, in just a short while, more than half of the kingdom's pawns had been killed or wounded, but the kingdom's giant obviously hadn't thought of this.

Their giant beast was still sleeping in the back.

Tianji saw that the situation was not good and had already rushed forward, but this [City-Destroying Giant Skeleton] was not an easy guy to deal with, and he could only barely hold it back.

My son failed the exam and I went ashore: "It's bad, the front line is gone now."

My hamster is called Guagua: "If I had known, I would have come out to help."

Scheming Frog: "It's okay. I should be able to withstand it if I transform in the moat."

It seems that everyone has obviously lost hope on the front line.

But at this moment, a message appeared.

What followed was a huge "crack" torn in the sky and an increasingly obvious feeling of stiffness in everyone.

[The box in the room was opened, and the giant's eyes fell into the box. ]

[Seeing the heavy losses suffered by the Kingdom camp, the Kingdom Giant was very angry. 】

[After investigating the battlefield for a while, the Kingdom Giant saw a chess piece that had escaped. It was furious and thought that this deserter chess piece no longer had any reason to exist.]

[The Kingdom Giant crushed the chess piece]

【die】

"…Fuck you!"

The so-called "escape" chess piece naturally refers to the Niu Niu who did not have time to return to the battlefield.

When he saw the giant picking him up and crushing him to pieces, and familiar words appeared before his eyes, his blood pressure suddenly rose and his face turned red on the spot.

???

run away?

The reason I was thrown into the moat was because the giant beast from the opposite side suddenly joined in?

It would be fine if you didn't help, but you treat me as a deserter?

"Fuck you, fuck, fuck!"

"You pig, if you had brought out the Siege Beast, we would have won a long time ago. You blame me for your own weakness. F**k you! Return the Kingdom Giant to me, my king**!"

Niu Niu was furious, and had an extremely encrypted conversation on the spot, in which he asked about the giant's family tree, which he didn't know whether it existed or not...

"I can't take it anymore. I'm dying of laughter." The people who were watching the show outside laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

Others couldn't help laughing when they saw this situation.

However, although the Kingdom Giant is blind, it does not want to lose.

[The head-on confrontation is over, and the remaining chess pieces are put back to their original positions.]

[The angry Kingdom Giant and the happy Monster Giant closed the chess box again. ]

[But before leaving, the Kingdom Titan seemed to have left something at the highest point of the city wall while the Monster Titan was not paying attention...]

【This may help the chess pieces. 】

[But the chess pieces had better act quickly, because a new round of games is about to begin...]
