Chapter 660 Chu River and Han Border
The hall was divided in two by the light curtain, quickly widening the distance between them.
Countless silver lights then appeared and coalesced into a chessboard in the void between the two halls.
On the square chessboard, the horizontal and vertical lines intersect each other.
In the very center are four imposing characters.
"The border between Chu and Han!"
What's puzzling is that the entire chessboard is bare, without any chess pieces.
Seemingly sensing everyone's confusion, the guardian spoke in a completely emotionless voice,
"You need to select sixteen people to be the pieces on the chessboard."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
They all had some doubts in their hearts!
Nobody knows if there will be any danger in becoming a pawn!
"Commander Su, how about we decide by drawing lots?"
Seeing the hesitation in everyone's hearts, Zhao Man took the initiative to make a suggestion.
At this moment, there is no better method than drawing lots.
So everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhao Man quickly prepared dozens of slips of paper, most of which were blank.
There were only fifteen slips of paper with the words "soldier," "chariot," "horse," and "cannon" written on them.
As for the head coach, Su Chen will naturally take on the role!
The crowd stepped forward one by one and took the slip of paper from Zhao Man's hand!
Those who draw a blank slip of paper are naturally overjoyed!
Those who drew slips of paper with writing on them were somewhat disappointed!
Fifteen people were quickly selected to act as chess pieces!
Su Chen gripped the token in his hand, and with the people behind him, he walked straight through the light curtain and stood on the chessboard!
The person playing chess opposite them wasn't Deng Bin or Fan Debiao, but a young man who looked somewhat nervous.
Despite his young age, he comes from a family of chess players.
My father is a professional chess player, and my mother is an expert in Go.
He himself is the highest-ranked player in Teamfight Tactics and the Golden Spatula.
Although his chess skills may not be outstanding, he is definitely the most suitable chess player in Mingyuan Group and the Leader Alliance!
Once everyone was in their positions, the chessboard suddenly changed.
Silvery-white light flowed and transformed into characters such as "soldier, pawn, chariot, and cannon" above everyone's head.
Two battle chariots materialized beneath Su Chen and the young man opposite him!
"The game begins!"
With the guardian's command, the game officially began!
As is customary, the red pieces go first!
Therefore, the black side of the board appears dark.
Su Chen's chessboard, on the other hand, was noticeably shiny.
Chinese chess is not as complicated as Go. After so many years of development, it has formed fixed patterns!
Without hesitation, Su Chen chose the simplest approach.
"Ah Yan, fire the first shot!"
Wang Yan, who was playing as one of the two red cannons, immediately moved towards the middle lane.
The young player on the opposing team, a veteran, chose a common strategy to deal with the situation!
Malay Jump!
Su Chen took a few more steps and saw that the other party was handling the situation with ease.
He knew in his heart that the other party was no novice!
So Su Chen chose to deploy his troops and set up his own defenses first!
The opposing veteran also refrained from launching a rash attack.
After all, this battle is crucial to whether or not they can leave this secret realm.
Nobody knows what the consequences will be after a defeat!
But no matter how much they try to avoid battle, both sides will eventually have to attack!
The young man couldn't contain himself any longer and launched the first attack!
Horse gallops!
A member of the Mingyuan Group, acting as the dark horse, invaded the red pieces' territory under the guidance of the chess player.
The one being attacked was Guo Wei, who was serving as a Red Army soldier!
Both he and Wang Yong had bad luck, especially him.
Wang Yong drew the car, while Guo Wei drew the red soldier!
Everyone knows that the rook is one of the strongest pieces in chess.
Soldiers, on the other hand, seem insignificant and can be sacrificed at will!
When the opponent's black horse stood in front of Guo Wei, the character "马" (horse) above the black horse's head suddenly changed rapidly and condensed into a silver-white horse.
The horse's hoof rose high and kicked directly at Guo Wei!
Guo Wei was completely unable to resist and was kicked off the chessboard by a horse hoof!
Instead of returning to Zhao Man and the others who were watching the game outside, he went straight from the chessboard into the bottomless darkness to the side!
Everyone was shocked to see this!
No one could have imagined that the chess piece would meet such an end after being defeated!
Although it's impossible to see what lies in the endless darkness beyond the chessboard, one thing is certain: falling in would almost certainly mean certain death!
For a time, including Su Chen and the two young chess players.
A gloomy atmosphere hung over everyone on the chessboard!
With Guo Wei leaving the chessboard, the battle between the red and black sides completely erupted!
Su Chen and the young man kept moving their pieces around, attacking each other!
"boom!"
This is cannon fire!
"Boom!"
This is a tank charging!
The battle between the two sides quickly escalated to a fever pitch!
Pieces kept falling from the board into the abyss beside it!
"Captain Zhao, aren't you knowledgeable about chess? Do you think Su Chen can win?"
He asked Mengmeng in a low voice.
She clenched her fists, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
If Su Chen loses, he will probably be thrown into the endless abyss like the other pieces!
"I understand it, but I'm not an expert."
Zhao Man smiled wryly.
"However, I can be sure that Brother Su has not been at a disadvantage."
"That's good!"
Xiang Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I've heard that there's a draw in chess."
Luo Xiaotian interjected from the side,
"What if they draw?"
"This... I don't know either, but I have a feeling that we'll probably start a new game?"
Zhao Man speculated uncertainly.
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their hearts filled with tension!
If we start over, those who were knocked down will definitely not be able to come back.
The remaining people will have to stay on the chessboard and act as pieces!
As they were talking, Su Chen was rapidly considering what to do next.
It must be said that the young man Deng Bin selected is very strong in chess!
Even though Su Chen used all his skills, he couldn't gain the upper hand, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate!
The game is now transitioning from the middle game to the endgame.
If this situation continues, the two sides will most likely end up in a draw.
Like Zhao Man and the others, Su Chen was also worried that if the game were to reopen, there would be a need for more people to act as pawns!
After much deliberation, Su Chen decided to create an opening!
"Wang Yong, take three steps forward, prepare to be the general!"
Su Chen pointed the token in his hand at Wang Yong!
However, Wang Yong glanced at the situation and his expression changed slightly!
He didn't act immediately, but just stood there!
"Wang Yong, what are you doing?"
Su Chen's face darkened, and he shouted in a low voice.
"Commander Su, you're sending me to my death!"
Wang Yong's eyes flickered, and his tone was quite dissatisfied!
