Chapter 1077 308. The same result
“You go first.”
Clo, the owner of this area, said with arrogance.
But it doesn’t mean that Annan can get an advantage... For example, Annan himself is not among the chess pieces... After all, the rules of the game itself were formulated by Crowe.
Vitalig outside was anxiously talking to himself.
Annan shook his head to indicate that he couldn't hear, and his eyes returned to the simulated sand table as if he were overlooking the earth from the air.
Fortunately it wasn’t knight chess, otherwise Annan would have surrendered.
"What? Without your think tank, you can't mobilize your troops at all?" Crowe sneered.
Annan raised his head and stared at Crowe: "Don't you understand yet? You didn't lose because of being controlled by the Rat Man, nor did you lose because of the betrayal of the Chairman..."
Beside him The Pocket Liberty City began to drift forward.
"Then I'll defeat you again."
Free City floated to the nearest city-state. Patterns of fighting swords and shields appeared on the city wall, and then a countdown appeared.
They are food consumption and the time required to siege the city respectively: the former is 98 days and the latter is 13 days.
In reality, Annan had no impression that this city, one of the countless surrendered towns, could actually block the Free City for half a month.
On the other side, Crowe began to mobilize his troops. He sent all the elite soldiers from the Sunset Plains at the core of the kingdom and headed south.
A dozen knight and mage chess pieces instantly appeared on the sand table. The dotted line at the foot points to Liberty City, and a countdown appears above the head.
The fastest is 5 days, and the slowest is 17 days.
It seems that reinforcements will arrive before Liberty City takes over the city.
But neither Skeleton King nor Little Bat took action. Crowe didn't use his legends, and Annan couldn't waste his legends on siege.
The countdown numbers are moving, and the fastest mage chess piece sent by Crowe has arrived in the city.
Annan saw that the countdown had increased from 8 days to 12 days, but the food supply had dropped from 93 to 92 days.
Soon, another mage piece arrived, and 12 days turned into 17 days.
Annan looked at the back of the city. The troops coming to support were densely packed. They continued to fill up the tank. It would take Liberty City half a year to win the city.
Abandoning the siege, Annan controlled Liberty City to bypass the city and attack a chess piece that came for support.
One day after the chess piece appeared on its head, it was eaten by Liberty City. However, Crowe also reacted, gathering scattered reinforcements and not giving Annan a chance to defeat them one by one.
Annan, who discovered his own advantages, simply gave up here and rushed to the east of the kingdom to attack a border town.
This time it takes ten days, and the fastest chess piece arrives in ten days.
They were too late.
But Crowe just sneered, and his knight piece showed a red deduction pattern, but the time changed from 10 days to 7 days.
They threw away supplies and speeded up, at the cost of needing supplies everywhere they went.
Along the way, the loyalty of the towns decreased, and a rebellion broke out in one town, but it was suppressed on the spot.
"Your chess pieces are slaughtering your own people."
Claude was indifferent and just wanted to come to the rescue before Annan.
Annan, who gradually became familiar with the rules, released the Punishment Legion, took down Crowe's chess pieces, and finally occupied the first city.
Clo frowned and asked the chess pieces to pause their pursuit and regroup. Annan looked at the number of chess pieces and felt that it was difficult to defeat them, so he headed north along the border to the second town.
After repeating it several times, Crowe realized that it was impossible to catch up with Annan, gave up the pursuit of Liberty City, and instead regained the city it occupied. But Liberty City's resources are not unlimited. Crowe watched the Free City floating around in his own territory and sneered: "Your food and soldiers are getting less and less, how long can you hold on?"
Although there is no exact information Numbers, but it does take longer and longer for Liberty City to capture a city. Unless he could plunder every city he visited like Crowe.
Faced with Crowe's sarcasm, Annan was indifferent and continued to chase the chess pieces around. However, every time he reached a city, he no longer besieged it, but distributed money.
Those towns that were occupied and conquered provided food.
Crowe saw what Annan was going to do: "Are you going to distribute your wealth to the poor?"
He couldn't understand Annan's intention, but whatever Annan did, he could just destroy it.
There is a chess piece following Liberty City. They distributed food on the front foot, and Crowe sent people on the back foot to grab it back.
After traveling most of the south, the surface of the Pocket Liberty City was mottled and getting smaller and smaller, but Crowe suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Towns have their loyalty lowered after Free City captures them, and again after they are recaptured. Free City's distribution of food and property increases some loyalty - but to Free City. After the chess pieces arrived, the cities with low loyalty began to refuse to hand over food.
Crowe only thought that they had been corrupted by Liberty City and let the chess pieces attack the city again, but the city was not the enemy. The price was the slaughter of his own people, and the chess pieces began to lose loyalty and morale.
When the first chess piece turned red, representing Liberty City, Crowe's color changed.
Clo showed no mercy to the betrayers and once again sent chess pieces to encircle and suppress the rebels. As a result, the chess pieces dropped a lot of loyalty.
Liberty City turned from defense to offense and went to recapture those towns again. This time without any bloodshed, large areas of towns changed their colors.
The chess pieces controlled by Crowe also became red or white ownerless forces because of their low loyalty, and were absorbed by the forces of Liberty City.
There were more and more reds on the sand table. Crowe couldn't accept the sudden reversal of his superiority just now. He sent the legends to make a desperate move, but found that they turned into white that they could not command.
When the old and crumbling Liberty City carried chess pieces to attack the new royal capital, the walls of the new royal capital collapsed and the arrow tower crashed down.
There seemed to be cheers on the sand table.
More thoroughly than reality, Liberty City officially broke through the new royal capital.
Claude looked at everything in disbelief: "Why? I am several times stronger than you, and you have nothing but a floating city..."
"Because you don't understand people's hearts." Annan exhaled, "Regardless of reality or the chessboard, you treat your people as pawns."
"I am the king——"
" But they are human beings, not dead soldiers." Annan looked at him, "The battle report will deceive you, but the battle line will not."
"I used the same method in reality and on the chessboard, and you lost two. times."
The sand table, barrier, and Crowe began to fade slowly. His tone was much calmer: "You took a bunch of mud-legged people and robbed my kingdom."
"Wrong. Have you seen "Let the Magic Fly"? Oh, you must not have seen it, otherwise you wouldn't lose so miserably."
"That Magical Image?" Crowe's attitude became calm. many.
"There is a line in it. You have been in this land for hundreds of years, and so have they. Their emotions are no less than yours. When they gather, they will only become more intense."
" The kingdom is yours and theirs.”
Claude was silent for a moment, his illusory figure showing disgust, and finally looked at Vitalig outside the barrier.
"Tell my useless brother to stay away from the Rat Man..."
He and the chessboard completely disappeared in front of him.
Da——
The evil spirit chess called the Book of Order landed lightly, and inside, there was another soul suffering in pain.
