Chapter 466: 465, [Illusion Duel] (VIII): Second Stage of Chess Deduction_1
After ambushing and eliminating one player, Su Yu’s area turned into a one-versus-three scenario.
However, Su Yu dared to face three even without buffs, how could he not find it even easier against these players with the buff now?
Su Yu did not show any courtesy to these players. Under his control, his army launched an attack toward the nearest army with high morale. freewёbnoνel.com
The spell “Arrow Missile” produced by the [Arcane Aggregation Array] took action again, hurtling toward one of the farther players.
Realizing this, the player quickly commanded his mages and priests to cast a shield spell.
But the damage dealt by Su Yu’s army was unimaginably higher, almost twice as much as before!
After a “missile” struck, the player’s defense crumbled, forcing him to leave the battlefield permanently.
Seeing this, the players commanding the remaining two armies completely despaired.
What they initially thought they would be a four-versus-two fight turned into Su Yu wiping out half their forces in an instant. How could they possibly continue this battle?
One of the players was a compatriot, he didn’t say anything and chose to forfeit and leave the illusion.
The situation turned into a one-on-one.
Su Yu’s troops swooped on the last remaining army fiercely. In less than a minute, the commander of this army was killed, and Su Yu’s buff soared to the 8th level.
Only then did the other four teams that planned to surround Su Yu finally arrive.
Looking at Su Yu’s army with eight layers of buff, they felt nothing but despair.
Eighth level buff! They no longer had any hope of winning.
…
The ensuing events in the battlefield are self-explanatory—Su Yu launched a one-sided massacre on all the armies on the field.
The four player armies fled to the four corners of the map, trying to use the game rules (after 25 minutes, if there are two commanders alive in the region, all players are eliminated) to drag Su Yu down.
But who could have expected that Su Yu would split his forces into four, heading to the four corners to annihilate them one by one.
Even a quarter of his troops were more than they could handle.
As for the army that had been completely immobile before, Su Yu observed closely and discovered that their commander had indeed lost connection…
Finally, at the 18th minute, Su Yu successfully dealt with the commander who had lost connection, advancing to the next round.
Seeing Su Yu’s opponents fall one by one, Morning Star yawned boredly: “I have to say, Nemesis, your opponents are really weak.”
“Actually, it’s not that they are weak.”
“What is it then?”
“I am just too strong.”
“…”
Time ticked away.
Seven minutes later, the opening reminder for the second round of the chess battle sounded in Su Yu’s ears:
“Congratulations to the players [Nemesis], [Jam Candy], [alex], [Loyalty!], and [Charlie] for advancing to the second round.”
“Second round game rules: The players participating in this round will each receive an identity card, indicating their roles—Emperor, Loyalist, Rebel, and Traitor.”
“Emperor and Loyalist win by killing all the Rebels.”
“Rebels win by killing all the Emperors and Loyalists.”
“The Traitor wins by ensuring the Emperor survives, eliminating all other players and defeating the Emperor in a one-on-one duel.”
“Due to the high difficulty of the Traitor scenario, a compensatory buff will be given: all unit attributes +30%.”
“Each player starts with 3250 soldiers, the same variety of soldiers as in the first round.”
“The second round map has added three special buildings: [Stronghold] (which can restore health of your army when occupied and increase the defense power of your troops when you station there); [Gold Mine] (produces gold) and [Mercenary Camp] (where you can hire mercenaries with gold).”
“To ensure the strategic aspect, a public chat channel has been added where every player can communicate.”
“This game has a 25-minute time limit. If the time runs out without determining a winner, the system will determine the final winner based on the performance of each team.”
“Note: Mercenaries are much more powerful than regular soldiers.”
…
After the countdown ended, Su Yu was transported into the second illusion.
“Your ‘identity card’ is being randomly generated…”
“Identity card generation successful, your role is——’Traitor’.”
“Received ‘Traitor’ exclusive buff effect, all troop attributes increased by 30%.”
Su Yu ignored these notifications and focused on surveying his surroundings.
The setting of the second illusion was a forest, surrounded by mountains and sprawling with lush green trees.
“Morning Star.”
“Meow~” Morning Star understood what he meant right away.
She transformed into the [Star Core Dragon].
Su Yu jumped onto Morning Star’s back and she took him into the sky.
Morning Star flew up to a height of 100 meters in the sky.
From her back, Su Yu could clearly look at the whole map.
After counting carefully, there were 10 strongholds, 15 gold mines, and 5 different mercenary camps on the map.
Among these 5 mercenary camps, one was wrapped in layers of vegetation, full of natural aura, and was named [Natural Camp]; the other 4 camps were surrounded by holy light, shadows, fire, and frost respectively, and their names followed suit.
From this, it could be inferred that the soldiers purchased from these 5 mercenary camps should have some sort of interactions with one another in their attributes.
Using the game’s built-in screenshot tool, Su Yu captured the surrounding environment.
Afterwards, Morning Star brought Su Yu back to the ground.
“Nemesis.” After landing, Morning Star, returned to her cat form, stood on his shoulder and addressed him, “Do we go on like we did in the first round, concentrating superior military force to eliminate these four teams?”
“Well…” Su Yu stroked his chin in thought.
After thinking, he solemnly shook his head: “No, there’s too much risk involved.”
“Unlike the last map, there is no way to recover troops after being victorious. If we charge in directly, it might become an extremely fierce war of attrition.
“Without the [Mercenary Camp] building, I might have risked it. But with that building, if the Emperor starts mining gold and buying mercenaries while we are eliminating the Rebels and Loyalists, and then hides in the [Stronghold] for the final battle, we would probably be at a disadvantage.”
“Hmm, you have a point,” the kitty nodded her head. “So what should we do?”
“What we need to do now…” Su Yu gave it careful thought before speaking, “We should occupy as many gold mines as possible. Economy is the primary productive force.”
“Morning Star, I am now splitting the entire army into five. You take two and I will take three. We will each go to the nearest five mining areas.”
Five mining areas make up one third of the total. Su Yu’s demand was quite considerable.
“Let me lead two sections?” doubted cat.jpg. “But I don’t know anything about marching and fighting. What if we are attacked?”
Su Yu laughed dismissively: “If we are attacked, retreat and occupy other mining veins. If you really can’t handle it, bring the troops back to me. I won’t blame you.”
“Okay, then I’ll give it a try.” Morning Star agreed hesitantly.
Now that Morning Star had agreed, Su Yu quickly divided the entire army into five equal parts.
He assigned two parts to Morning Star and instructed her to occupy two secluded gold mines.
Su Yu, on the other hand, led the remaining three teams into the belly of the map to seize the gold mines where conflict with the enemy was possible.
As for the [Stronghold] building, it was not yet time to consider that. They would wait until the latter part of the war.
