Chapter 226 The Phantom's Wrath Forces Su Yan to Participate in the Battle

Two dice of different colors rolled to the ground.

The side with the three dots is always facing up.

"What does this mean?"

Seeing this, apart from Kayla, who participated in the last war game, and Alves, who had learned about the relevant situation after joining the Crusades, there were others.

The others looked at the referee, Pang Sen, with puzzled expressions.

"Since there are still people who don't know what this means, let me explain it to you first."

Pang Sen cleared his throat and explained to the crowd in front of him, "These two dice, thrown by Princess Leiqinliecheng in front of you, represent the venue for this war game and the number of participants."

"As you can see, the result of the throw is three points and three points."

"That is to say, there are 3 players on each side in this round, and the battlefield is the Lech City Square in Lech City."

As he spoke, Pang Sen raised his hand.

Soon, a stone arena, about half the size of a basketball court, rose up in front of everyone.

"That's amazing!"

Upon seeing the arena rising before him, Ginta, with his limited experience, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Then, he hurriedly said to Pang Sen, "No matter what, as long as we keep winning, that's all that matters, right?"

"More or less, in a sense."

Pang Sen said somewhat embarrassedly, "However, I haven't finished yet. Mr. Yintai, please don't interrupt me as I continue announcing the rules of the War Game, okay?"

"Okay—okay."

Ginta scratched his head and responded somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing that Yintai had shut up, Pang Sen continued, "The war game is conducted in a team competition format."

"For example, in this round of war games, the number of participants is three against three, with each side selecting three people to fight."

"In other words, if Mr. Ginta were to participate as one of them, he would lose to his opponent."

"However, as long as the other two teammates win, Mr. Ginta will be able to advance to the next round of the war game along with the others."

"As for the chess team, the opponent who defeated Mr. Ginta, even if the team loses the game, can still advance to the next round of the war game as an individual, giving Mr. Ginta a chance to take revenge on his opponent."

"This rule—"

Ginta scratched his head and said, "I don't understand at all."

After all, he was a poor student before he transmigrated, so even though Pang Sen had explained it very clearly, he still didn't quite understand the rules.

Seeing this, Alves casually explained, "Just do what you understand and don't lose."

"The rules of this war game are exactly the same as they were six years ago."

After saying that, Alves looked at Pang Sen and asked, "So, according to the rules of the game, we should be choosing a captain next, right?"

"team leader?"

Ginta was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Alves with a puzzled expression.

However, Alves did not respond to Yin Tai's question, but continued to look at Pang Sen in front of him, waiting for the other party's answer.

"Yes."

Pang Sen explained, "Before the war game begins, you must first select one of the seven chosen to be the captain."

"According to the game rules, if you win as a team in the war game, but the team captain loses the game..."

"Then, as an exceptional case, the war game will end immediately, and your side will be declared the loser."

At this point, Pang Sen paused for a moment, then continued, "On the Chess Legion's side, the captain is undoubtedly our strongest knight, Phantom."

"As for you, you should discuss and choose a captain as soon as possible."

"ah?!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xue's face immediately showed an expression of disbelief: "How could this be?"

"That's not entirely unacceptable."

Dorothy spoke up, "Wouldn't it be fine if we just chose someone who can't lose as our captain?"

"That seems to be true."

Bai Xue nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Su Yan beside him.

His thoughts are self-evident.

She wanted Su Yan, whom she considered the strongest, to be the team leader.

This is the safest approach.

To avoid Diana being directly judged as having lost before the duel even begins due to the captain's defeat.

As for the others, they couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment after hearing the rules.

Everyone seems to be considering who should be the captain of this war game.

"Cough cough."

Suddenly, Su Yan coughed lightly twice, drawing everyone's attention with his words: "Everyone, please look at me."

"Before we choose a team leader, I have a few words to say."

"first----"

Su Yan looked at the referee, Pang Sen, and asked, "The game rules don't seem to stipulate that the team captain has to participate in every round, right?"

"this----"

Pang Sen paused for a moment, somewhat confused by Su Yan's meaning, and replied hesitantly, "There is indeed no such rule—"

Pang Sen had just finished speaking.

Su Yan immediately picked up the conversation again, saying, "That makes things much easier."

"If the number of participants in each round is determined by rolling dice, and the highest possible number on a die is only six, then..."

"Even if you roll the highest number in each round of the war game, you only need a maximum of six people to participate."

"But now we have seven people selected."

"In other words, as long as there are no casualties later on, at least one player will not have to participate in the war game in each round."

"Does this mean we don't need to choose the strongest player as captain, but can simply choose the weakest one and exclude them from the war game?"

Su Yan didn't mind doing what Bai Xue wanted and becoming the team leader.

But this is obviously impossible.

Of the seven people who passed the selection, only Snow White and Dorothy were on his side.

The other four people form a small group.

Without knowing his abilities or his own strength, they are even less likely to vote for him.

Not to mention knowing that Ginta is the son of the Crusader leader from the last war game.

Furthermore, they naturally possess the prerequisite of inheriting their father's business.

Even if he used the favor of treating Kayla with the Angel of Life yesterday as a condition, it would be unlikely to convince Alves to cast his vote for him.

However, if we follow the original story and choose Ginta as the captain, it would be very risky.

In the original work.

The only one who didn't lose a single game of the war game was Ginta, who was chosen as the captain.

The only one who's currently on his side is Dorothy.

Jack lost to a castle-level woman in the first round due to his impulsiveness.

Alves also lost his first match against the Knight-level Roland.

Snow White, being an ice messenger, lost the match because she was placed in the unfavorable volcanic battlefield.

That's a little better.

However, out of chivalry, in the Knight-level Lapuja match, after already winning the game, he deliberately fell down to end in a draw.

Afterwards, the lovely young lady thought she had escaped death after winning rock-paper-scissors against Lapuje.

Unexpectedly, he was ambushed and killed by Kirom, Lapuja's younger brother, from behind.

This completely shattered Gintae's composure.

When enraged, one can only unleash two or three-tenths of their usual strength.

So much so that he almost lost to Chloe.

Even Allen, who was later freed from the Dark ARM effect and allowed to participate in the War Game, was later removed from the game.

Because of the long period of time he spent fused with his dog companion Edward, he developed an allergic reaction to cats.

As a result, she lost the match against the catgirl Shado.

It can be said that among all of them, the most consistent was Dorothy, who reached her peak upon her debut.

Not to mention they've never lost a single game.

Even after the War Game ended, he still defeated Diana and successfully completed his mission by killing her.

The likelihood of everyone choosing Dorothy, the infamous witch, as captain is even lower than the likelihood of choosing Su Yan.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the war game proceeds smoothly to the end.

Su Yan didn't mind letting everyone in the magical world see what a despicable adult's despicable thoughts were like.

"Just electing a nominal captain? That's a good suggestion."

Upon hearing this, Dorothy gave Su Yan a deep look.

Similarly, given that neither side is aware of the other's strength, and while others don't trust her, how could Dorothy possibly trust them?

Since she came to participate in the war game, she naturally wanted to go all the way until she saw that woman.

After all, she didn't want to be unable to see Diana because of other people.

Therefore, she could say that she completely agreed with Su Yan's suggestion.

The others, upon hearing Su Yan's words, felt that although something seemed off, they also thought he made sense.

Ginta spoke up, "So, the next step is to choose the weakest person as captain and ban them from participating in the competition, right?"

He had simply come out of Kayla's training gate.

I feel incredibly strong right now, and I just want to start the battle against the chess pieces as soon as possible.

"Wait! Wait! Please wait a moment!"

At this point, referee Pang Sen finally couldn't help but speak up: "While this is technically possible, I need to consult with my superiors regarding the specifics—"

As he spoke, Pang Sen gave Su Yan a resentful look.

Is that correct?

The last war game wasn't played this way.

So, whose side is this guy on?

It's important to know that the War Game was specifically designed by Phantom to provide those who want to fight against the Chess Legion with a way to gradually challenge stronger opponents.

This was specifically created to give them opportunities to grow.

Otherwise, if the Phantom had attacked directly from the start, the master of the last war game would have been instantly killed without even having a chance to grow.

the other side.

The Kingdom of Lesterva, the headquarters of the chess army.

"Phantom".

Beta shifted his gaze from the crystal ball reflecting the figures of everyone from Rachelleigh, then turned to the phantom behind him and asked, "What do you say?"

"Beta!"

Phantom squinted, put down his crossed legs, and said expressionlessly, "To be honest, I'm a little angry."

"I already gave that man the opportunity to participate in the war game and fight alongside Ginta and the others."

"He actually came up with such a method to hide himself?"

"Tell Pang Sen that I can agree to their proposal to allow the captain to not participate in the game."

"But I'm very angry now, as the price for making me angry."

"Su Yan!"

"That man has to participate in every round of the war game."

"I'll let the chess army test just how capable this man really is."

Let's return our perspective to the city of Raichen.

After listening to the message relayed by the ARM communication system, referee Pang Sen gave Su Yan a strange look and said, "Phantom has agreed to your proposal, but—"

"The Phantom said he was very angry, and as punishment and in exchange for making him angry, he demanded that you participate in every round of the War Game."

"Well----"

What is this?

Did you try to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice instead?

Su Yan said somewhat weakly, "Can you pretend I didn't say anything just now?"

To tell the truth.

He really wasn't interested in war games, which were just a bunch of noobs fighting each other.

It's fine to participate in a round occasionally to see what ARMs the other side has that are worth buying.

If we make him participate in every round, that would be a bit troublesome.

"Can't."

"That's how Phantom responded," Pang Sen replied.

"Hey, you're really ungrateful!"

Upon seeing this, Jack immediately jumped out and said, "I'm so envious of being able to participate in every round of the war game, okay?"

Su Yan remained silent.

Now that things have come to this, unless he takes out his knight earring and tells everyone that he is actually one of the thirteen constellation knights, there's no way to escape.

Otherwise, there would be no turning back on Phantom's decision.

But if he actually does that, things will only get more complicated.

"Fine, you can decide on the team leader yourselves."

Su Yan shrugged indifferently and said this to the group of people who had passed the selection.

He then said to Pang Sen, "Let's begin with the first match of the first round."

"Since you've decided to let me play, let's save time and finish this quickly."

"Perfect timing, let me try out this new ARM."

"7

As he spoke, Su Yan took out a necklace from his pocket.

The silver necklace gleamed in the sunlight, clearly not an ordinary ARM.

This is the very ARM warrior that I just acquired yesterday in the city of Rachel, which has been sealed away for who knows how many years.

"Come on, Su Yan, don't lose!"

Dorothy winked at Su Yan, then gave him a big kiss on the cheek and said, "If you win, I'll give you an even bigger reward~"

"Dorothy!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Xue immediately puffed out her cheeks like a wronged pufferfish: "You're being too cunning."

As she spoke, she mimicked Dorothy's earlier actions.

Deliberately avoiding the spot where Dorothy had just kissed him, she gave Su Yan a heavy kiss on the other side of his face.

He then spoke up, saying, "Me too."

,

However, Snow White didn't have the habit of wearing lipstick like Dorothy.

Therefore, after kissing Su Yan, she did not make the lipstick marks on his face symmetrical.

On the surface, it still only looks like the lipstick mark left by Dorothy.

Bai Xue grew increasingly annoyed with her.

So, after she finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief and took the initiative to wipe the lipstick mark off Su Yan's face.

Then, Bai Xue said with some concern, "Su Yan, be careful during the fight, don't get hurt."
