Chapter 2171 Snake Whispering Chess Heart (Part 1)
While Soshiyang was enjoying a rare moment of leisure, a highly enclosed and heavily guarded area on the bottom deck of the Eternal Loyalty was full of armed patrols. Servants and various automatic turrets were also scanning the top of the corridor all the time.
At this time, a towering figure walked out of the open gate. Dozens of scanners locked onto him instantly, and then released the alert, allowing him to walk through the corridor at a relaxed pace. In front of a huge and heavy alloy gate at the end.
But he did not rush to open the door, but opened the small observation window.
I only saw that the space inside was extremely dark, and I could only vaguely see a table and a flickering candle. The light of this candle was too weak, and it could not even illuminate the edge of the table. It could only illuminate clearly. Things on the table.
It was a chessboard, and the regicide chess pieces had been placed.
Black and white chess pieces alternate on the black and white chessboard. The chess pieces are engraved with a series of characters such as soldiers, chariots, bishops, and kings.
At this time, a hand stretched out from the darkness and moved a white soldier. The black soldier it faced was already in a defensive posture. Although White was prepared to avoid Black's layout in this step ingredients, but the nature of the moves is too weak.
Black chose to give up a pawn and win the tie. Interestingly, after White deliberately avoided Black's layout preparation, he finally allowed Black to form a central symmetry with himself. situation.
Looking from a third-party perspective, the observer realizes that although Black's symmetrical move still lags behind White's, the two sides have formed a symmetrical situation, and White's piece weight is higher than Black's, because White's chess will inevitably make a short shift in the future, which will cause the white king to be under the firepower of Black, but Black's chess does not have the need for a long shift. In comparison, the defense of the king's city will not have such a big burden.
It can be seen that although it is a symmetrical situation, it does not necessarily mean that the first mover will take advantage.
Due to White's careless selection, he is now feeling pressure on his own board and is trying to relieve the pressure by exchanging pawns.
But Black did not continue to move forward. This static stop may seem like an understatement, but it actually contains profound meaning.
On the one hand, this step is to connect the two tanks on the bottom line, and at the same time, it also provides a protection for Bishop Bai, strengthening his ability to line up with White. And there is another point. After the knight on the left is dispatched in the future, a position will be made for the queen to control the slow and lagging left wing of the white chess. Such a move of "killing three birds with one stone" is an "itchy" move against the white chess. The best response is the move.
This was soon verified. Black's static movement caused White to lose, causing his originally lagging board to waste another move, allowing Black to speed up his progress.
Realizing that the situation on the board was not going well, White was also ready to seize the time and send out the slow left-wing knight to participate in the defense of the royal city. However, this step was a bit like playing for the sake of making stones, which made the way out in the future very confusing. At this time, Black felt His own planning was in place, so he decisively charged the knight. At this point, Black blew the horn to attack White's royal city.
The observer chuckled and opened the door. With the help of the weak lighting outside the door, the chess player at the table was revealed.
Occam, who took off his armor and wore a rough robe, sat in the middle of the table, which was also the central axis of the chessboard. To his left and right were black and white stones, and he looked like a bystander. Or the third person.
After the door opened, he still stared at the chess game without raising his eyelids, as if he knew who it would be.
"It's quite leisurely, but Soshiyang is very angry with you."
Talos, who was also not wearing power armor, closed the door with his backhand, plunging the cell into darkness again. Then he pulled a stool next to him and sat on it.
"Temporarily, his wife will appease him."
"So you did this because you calculated the good tempers of Soshyan and his wife."
Taros lit the lighter, illuminating the faces of the two men, then took out a cigarette and lit it.
After taking a deep breath, he blew out a smoke ring. "You seem to enjoy single-handedly instigating this war that affects tens of billions of people. Do all Alpha people have this bad habit and think that being the mastermind behind the scenes is a great thing?"
Occam still didn’t raise his head. After more than thirty rounds of the chess game, White’s chariot idle in the corner finally entered the main battlefield. However, it was already declining, and although White had a battle However, the two eldest sons, Che and Bishop, were unable to defeat four people with just two fists.
"Enjoyment? No, this is a word that is far away to me. All I care about is the goal."
"Goal?"
Talos Diao He smoked and sneered.
"What goal can a tramp have? To be the leader of twenty legions? Or to become a god?"
"For a planner and a conspirator, the biggest goal is the ultimate. I am in Sosh Yang sees the ultimate, an ultimate conspiracy, an ultimate goal, whether it is to control it or destroy it, this is a goal worth trying for me."
Taros smiled scornfully. Turn your head.
"I was stunned. I knew there were no normal people in Alpha."
"It may be difficult for anyone else to understand, but only you, Talos Valcolan, you must Understandable.”
Talos didn't say anything, just took two more puffs of cigarette.
After a long time, he said slowly:
"What exactly are you going to do?"
"So that Soshiyang cannot do his full work."
< br>“Because of Terra?”
"Actually, you all know, but if you insist on making a riddle, yes, it is Terra. I have been doubting it since the beginning of the expedition. What is its purpose? After a long and careful inference, I combined some information obtained from various aspects. and intelligence, made this judgment, there is a force that is constantly pushing Soshiyang upward, to a height that no one can reach, and then when he and his legion develop and grow, it is very likely that the next A rebellion."
"So?"
Ockham raised his head for the first time, leaning forward to expose his face to the candlelight, but he still remained silent. Light and dark.
“Someone, or some force, wants to control the empire through the hands of Soshyan, turning him into the savior of the empire, the savior of the empire, an existence close to the original body, and then legitimately taking control of Terra. The Council of High Lords will not hesitate to launch a purge."
"It sounds too conspiracy theory, not all other Primarchs are dead."
"Talos, why are you deceiving yourself? You have been with Soshyan the longest. You understand what happened to him better than anyone else. Taking control of the empire is only the first step in this ultimate plan. From Leman Russ Appearing with Corax is enough to show that they are at least partially aware of this plan. I can't see through you, so I don't know your plan, but I believe that our goals should be the same."
"Haha. , this sounds like some kind of insult, you know, the first thing I hate is the Dark Angels, the second thing I hate is the Ultramarines, and the third thing I hate is you Alphas.”
