Chapter 423
"Ah, this, did both sides think of the same thing? Sister Maria, this situation looks a bit bad."
Outside, the angel-witch trio looked at the movements on the chessboard. Miss Michelle, who had a quick temper, looked at her eldest sister somewhat nervously and was slightly worried.
In the audience perspective outside, there was no fog covering it, so they could clearly see the layout of both sides.
Clearly, both sides seemed to want to take the other by surprise and chose to send people to attack the other side at the start. Only, the witch side only sent eight people, while the angel side sent nine.
The most critical thing is that the individual quality on the angel side was originally stronger than the witches. One-on-one, the witches might not necessarily win, let alone now that they had fewer people.
For a moment, Michelle didn't even dare to look anymore.
"Don't be anxious. You can't easily draw conclusions until the last moment. The battlefield changes rapidly, and anything can happen."
Maria spoke to comfort this younger sister, but although she said so, she actually felt a bit suspenseful in her heart.
For a moment, she also had a headache. After all, this clown inquisitor represented the face of the witches. If she lost, it would be the face of the entire Witch World that was lost.
However, seeing that clown Grand Inquisitor so confident before, I hope she really has some reliance. Otherwise, if she loses miserably after talking so much trash, all witches will have to accompany her to be clowns.
The red-haired, eight-winged angel-witch big sister thought this in her heart.
And unlike the tense and serious dull atmosphere on the witch side, the angel delegation was high in fighting spirit. Only the Archangel Sariel, who was leading the team, didn't have much change in expression and was still very indifferent.
Only, such indifference soon showed a trace of ripples.
"Ah, this, this is not right."
"Impossible, this shouldn't be. Why are we at an advantage in numbers and strength, but instead being suppressed and beaten?"
"What exactly happened?"
When the two horses finally met in a river channel in the center of the map and then started to act without saying a word, the smiles that had been on the faces of the angels in the angel delegation disappeared, replaced by incomprehension and shock.
And the witch side was completely the opposite. They suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and began to be inspired.
"Good fellow, did we win so easily?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, nine against eight, and we even played a shameful record of 0:4. The so-called angels are nothing more than this."
"Alright, don't expand. Those few angels really have something. If you go up, you will lie down in minutes. We won a bit strangely, and I always feel like there is a fraud."
"No, it's not that the angels are acting, nor are they too weak, but that we cooperated too well on our side. This is simply every attack is accurately aimed at the weak point of the opponent, and every attack is full of weak point critical damage. This is why it looks like we won so easily. Incredible, how was it done?"
"Indeed, could it be that they practiced cooperation behind our backs? But this shouldn't be. Such tacit cooperation is rare even among veterans who have fought together on the battlefield for hundreds of years."
The other witch inquisitors who stayed behind and the angel-witch trio were ecstatic while also being very puzzled.
And the line of sight returned to the chess game, one minute ago.
A river that was not very wide crossed the entire chessboard, dividing the chessboard into two. At this time, the two horses appeared by the river together, and both sides looked at each other across the river, seeing surprise and astonishment on each other's faces.
Only, the witches were worried in their surprise, while the angels were grinning in their astonishment. They flew fearlessly toward the witches on the opposite bank.
"Paladin Captain, what should we do? The enemy has many people, should we retreat first?"
Miss Ghost Face came to the side of the succubus witch and asked quietly.
Because of the last assessment, Paladin Madeline was the first place, so this time she was the captain. Others also recognized this. After all, the strength shown by this person during the previous assessment was indeed terrifying, and this captain was well-deserved.
Hearing Miss Ghost Face's inquiry, the other six also cast their gazes at this captain.
"Cannot..."
Madeline just wanted to say that it was impossible to fight, so retreat for now, but before she finished speaking, she was directly interrupted. She felt a force begin to transmit to her body along the small flag Dorothy gave before.
Not only her, Madeline looked at the others and found that the small flags that had originally merged into their bodies all appeared again and were shining.
"What are you still stunned for? You have been strengthened, go up quickly."
A familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears, and then the bodies of the eight people moved uncontrollably.
Madeline carried the Heaven Curse, Heaven is Qian, located in the northwest, so she rushed directly to the northwest of the nine angels.
Miss Ghost Face carried the Earth Curse, Earth is Kun, located in the southwest.
Element Queen carried the Wind Curse, Wind is Xun, located in the southeast.
Phantom Girl carried the Cloud Curse, Gen is Mountain, mountains produce clouds, located in the northeast.
This is the four main formations, and after the main formations are in place, they are the four strange formations.
Little Bread Alice carried the Dragon Curse, Left Azure Dragon, located in the east.
Frost Snow Girl carried the Tiger Curse, Right White Tiger, located in the west.
Phoenix Phoenix carried the Bird Curse, Front Vermilion Bird, located in the south.
Star Burial carried the Snake Curse, Rear Black Tortoise, located in the north.
Thus, just like this, in the midst of the witches and angels being dumbfounded and somewhat unclear, everything was in place, and the eight witches surrounded the nine angels directly.
Only, this seemed to be of no use. After all, the tactic of surrounding has always been the side with more people surrounding the side with fewer people; otherwise, it is like a fishing net made of spider silk trying to catch a shark, and the shark doesn't even need to exert force to break free.
Clearly, the angels thought so too. Therefore, even though they were surrounded, they were not panicked at all. Subsequently, the nine angels shook their wings and flew directly toward the east.
They saw at a glance that the short witch guarding the east was the weakest. Directly defeat this little witch, then the so-called surrounding is a joke.
However, when they really came to the short witch wearing a gargoyle mask, the world suddenly lost its color, the sun and moon were reversed, and a huge monster that looked like a dragon and a snake rose from behind this little witch. The monster probed its claw, and an angel was directly grabbed. Subsequently, the dragon claw contracted, and the unlucky angel was directly pinched to death as if pinching an ant.
The remaining eight angels were terrified by this scene. They hurriedly retreated, trying to escape, but a phantom dragon tail swept over, and the sharp tail blade flashed by. Another unlucky angel bloomed with a blood line from the top of the head to the crotch, and then turned into a corpse cut in two, falling powerlessly into the river below.
All this happened too fast. In just a short moment, the nine angels who were originally full of confidence were already left with only seven. The two angels who died hadn't even had time to show their skills before they died on the spot.
Well, let alone the angels, even the witches were full of question marks at this time, not knowing what happened at all.
In the eyes of the witches, what they just saw was a very strange scene. The nine angels were originally together, but they all looked at Little Bread, and then their faces showed a grin, and then they suddenly scattered and flew toward different directions.
One of them flew faster and flew directly in front of Madeline. The most critical thing is that these two angels were about to fly to the enemy's face, but he seemed to know nothing, still just looking at the direction of Little Bread and grinning there, which looked very silly.
Then Madeline felt her body uncontrollably raise her hand and punch with full force. That peak Martial Saint's blow directly hit this unprepared angel, directly beating the opponent into meat paste.
Subsequently, everyone saw that the angels who were originally grinning silly suddenly showed horror, as if they had seen something very terrifying, and then they started to circle in the middle strangely, and then another angel flew foolishly in front of Miss Ghost Face.
Miss Ghost Face also automatically drew her sword, raised her hand, and gave a sword of no thought and no mind, directly cutting the angel in two.
This was very strange. They really suspected that there was a traitor among the angels, and this was sending them.
Fortunately, just when the witches were full of question marks, they suddenly regained control of their bodies again, and then the familiar voice from the clown Grand Inquisitor sounded in everyone's ears again.
"Alright, don't bully people. Leave the rest to you to deal with yourselves. Pay attention to the changes in the formation, and then launch an attack along the operation of the formation. If you still can't win this, go back and find a piece of tofu to hit yourself to death. I don't have such useless subordinates."
As these words fell, everyone's vision suddenly blurred, and then many wonderful things appeared in the picture.
For example, in the center of the encirclement, there is a Taiji diagram of Yin and Yang that is slowly rotating, and the Taiji diagram is divided into eight areas outward. These eight areas are also constantly changing with the rotation of the Yin and Yang Taiji diagram.
It seems that they were afraid that everyone would not understand, and these eight areas were even thoughtfully written with annotations, which are Open Gate, Rest Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Scenery Gate, Death Gate, Surprise Gate, and Injury Gate.
Among them, Open Gate, Rest Gate, and Life Gate are the three auspicious gates. When the enemy enters these three areas, the witches cannot attack and must pay attention to defense.
Injury Gate and Scenery Gate are the middle-level gates. When the enemy is in this area, they can test the attack.
This Death Gate, Surprise Gate, and Injury Gate are the three evil gates. Once the enemy enters this area, don't be polite, take out the strongest move, and just fight.
Eight witches: "..."
At this time, they finally understood what happened to the two angels who died suddenly just now. That was the unlucky stepping on the Death Gate.
And besides these magical eight gates, this formation even indicated what attribute attacks to use in which areas.
For example, the Qian position is for metal, when using weapon attacks; the Kun position is for earth, earth magic has a miraculous effect; Xun corresponds to wind, Zhen corresponds to thunder, Kan corresponds to water, Li corresponds to fire, and so on.
Anyway, everything is arranged clearly. As long as you reasonably use the corresponding magic attack along the operation of the formation, it is a fool-style battle.
And besides these functions targeting the enemy, this formation can also strengthen themselves. Each of them has a clear division of labor according to their respective positions. When who moves, who cooperates, everything is arranged clearly.
For example, when the Heaven position and Earth position move, the Dragon position must cooperate. And when the Tiger position strikes, the Heaven position and Earth position must cooperate. The Wind position must pay attention to the Snake position, and the Snake position needs to rely on the Heaven position, and so on.
In short, everything is very detailed. It is indeed as Lord Clown said before. If you still can't win this, it is really better to find a piece of tofu and hit yourself to death.
For a time, the eight witches were also stunned by the magical means of Lord Clown. However, keep the shock for after the fight. Now the most important thing is to beat the drowning dog.
Thus, like children who found a new toy, the eight witches began to cooperate according to the instructions with great interest.
As a result, they became more and more addicted to playing. You punch, I kick, you use a fireball, I use an ice arrow, and they were very happy, as if teasing lions and tigers across the cage of the zoo. That feeling of watching the other party be very angry but helpless was really a bit cool.
They are actually used to fighting alone, but now they find that cooperating with each other is also unexpectedly cool. Is this the happiness of group fighting?
Unfortunately, happy days are always short. When the angels died two more, and the remaining five were all injured, Lord Clown's voice sounded again.
"Alright, that's enough. You should come back. The reinforcements from the opposite side are coming soon."
The eight people who were playing happily stopped reluctantly, and then they retreated directly without looking back, disappearing into the thick war fog outside the door in an instant.
And just five or six seconds after they retreated, three angels hurried over. They looked at the five teammates who were covered in injuries in horror, and looked at the remains of the four teammates who died on the side, completely unable to understand what happened just now.
However, the horror of the angels had nothing to do with Dorothy. At this time, the Home Witch's spirit was mainly concentrated on the four map-opening witches.
This huge advantage at the start has been established, and the rest can be completely handled by development. Now the most important thing is to build an arsenal quickly and start building cannon fodder. After all, the real Eight Trigrams Formation is a method of marching and arranging formations. The more soldiers building the formation, the stronger the formation. The small formation of eight people just now was really not very fun to play.
However, I have to say, the European emperor's European energy is really awesome. The four positions that Forest Child pointed out casually before, not to say all hit, but three were hit. Only the European emperor herself, who overdrawn her European energy, missed.
Sigh, it can be seen that except for those cheaters who can control fate, ordinary European emperors still cannot escape the influence of the law of conservation of European energy.
Casually comforting Forest Child, who was sighing that she was really unlucky recently, Dorothy cast her gaze at these resource points.
After all, this is not that kind of computer game. All resource collection steps are simplified. Click the mouse and resources come. But in this War Chess, you actually need to collect them yourself.
Among the three resource points she explored, one is a forest, which can produce wood; one is a mine, which can produce metal; and the last one is a farm, which can produce food.
This is exactly the three most important resources in the game. Wood and metal are materials for building facilities, while food is the resource needed to produce troop types.
"Tsk tsk tsk, there are even elements of farming development. Eh, wait, good fellow, can you even build wonders?"
On the temple throne, Dorothy, who was looking through the game rules, suddenly touched her chin and gained some spirit.
If you talk to her about this, then the Civil Engineering Witch will not be sleepy. This is her old profession.
If you had said earlier that you could build wonders, who would go to fight?
... The Civil Engineering Witch is ecstatic...
