The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa gave Tia a strange look, then her eyes darted around before she flashed a fawning smile and hugged Tia tightly.

"Is it possible... that the opponent is actually not weak, and it's just that you, Tia, are too amazing? After all, you are a famous genius beauty in the capital."

"Stop fooling around! I'm talking to you about something serious!"

Tia lightly stomped on Valensa's foot, clearly annoyed.

"If the opponent's chess style is just generally weak, that would be fine, but this is really... well, it's probably not even as good as your skills when you were 10 years old, almost like a beginner who has just figured out the rules."

But how could this be? This is a trial room with 3 points! Even considering the fog demons that appeared when the mechanism malfunctioned, the game shouldn't be this simple!

"Hmm... what you're saying doesn't quite sound right."

Valensa frowned as well, but she didn't loosen her grip on Tia. Instead, she rested her chin on Tia's shoulder and thought for a moment:

"Even if we guessed there was something wrong with the game, you can't deliberately throw the game and concede, can you? Let's just continue playing normally for now and see what happens. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

"It can only be the……"

Tia sighed and once again manipulated the phantom chessboard in front of her, moving the pieces.

In the early stages of Pawn Chess, the most important thing is to plan the movement of your units.

Because the chessboard has limited space and the pawns cannot retreat, the pawns of both sides will eventually meet after advancing a few rounds.

So whoever can plan their moves well to capture the opponent's pawn and upgrade to the first chariot will gain a huge advantage in the game.

As Tia said, the opponent's chess skills were terrible; its pawns moved with almost no skill, simply being delivered to Tia's doorstep.

Tia was still a little hesitant, but as Valensa said, she couldn't just give up and admit defeat because the opponent was strangely weak, could she?

"eat!"

So she still made the declaration of capturing a piece, moving her own piece toward the opponent's piece.

According to the rules of Pawn Chess, Tia's white Pawn should have replaced the black Pawn and been promoted to a Chariot by now.

However, the situation on the large chessboard is quite different. When the black and white pieces meet on the same square, they actually start fighting just like they are on a battlefield.

The two puppet soldiers had exactly the same strength and speed, and their moves and routines were also the same. They all fought with a desperate, all-out offensive style, and the battle looked quite brutal.

In just over ten seconds, both soldiers were pierced multiple times by the opponent's spear, their strength noticeably decreased and their movements became stiff, entering a test of endurance.

"Oh no……"

Tia finally understood:

"No wonder the opponent has been moving their pieces in the simplest way. It's not that their chess skills are bad, but rather that they're trying to conserve the stamina of these puppet soldiers as much as possible... Damn it!"

As expected, in the end, Tia's white [soldiers] were slightly inferior, and were pierced through the core by the heavily wounded black [soldiers] first, turning into a pile of parts and slowly disappearing.

The piece was supposed to be captured, but it was captured by the opponent instead.

The black soldier that had been slain was enveloped in arcane light after the victory. Although its wounds remained, its aura had become significantly stronger.

It has been upgraded; it is now a [Chariot].

"Damn it, damn it, damn it... Where can you find a wargame like this?! This is blatant cheating!"

Tia was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, but the fact that had already happened could not be undone. She could only learn from the experience and continue the game.

However, in PvP, the side that upgrades to a [Chariot] first has a huge advantage, especially since this PvP game is not entirely PvP.

Even if you manage to force the chariot into your strategy using pawns according to the rules of the game, you'll likely be counter-killed by the chariot in the battle of capturing pieces.

Tia had given her all in the following games, but due to her failure to make the first move, the gap between her and her opponent widened.

In the end, Tia's side only had two white [Chariots] that were covered in wounds, while the enemy had four black [Chariots] that were in much better condition, and even a black [Queen].

"...No, no, this game is unplayable... How am I supposed to win?"

The gap between the two sides was simply too large, and Tia couldn't think of a way to turn the tide, so she simply followed Valensa's example and gave up:

"Forget it, let's forget about these 3 points and try again in the next room."

Because many of the challenges in the trial rooms are only difficult on the first try, the assessment rules stipulate that rooms that have already been challenged cannot be challenged again if the challenge is failed.

If Tia loses this game, she and Valensa will have to give up these 3 points.

"...Aren't you really going to try again?"

Valensa, however, was not willing to give up so easily. After all, there were not many trial rooms left, and 3 points were still quite important to them. It would be best to try to get more points.

What's the point of trying?

Tia rested her head on Valensa's chest, rolling her eyes at her from bottom to top:

"You can play war games yourself... Do you think it's possible to win in this situation? Unless another white [Queen] falls from the sky for me."

"Did a white 'Queen' fall from the sky...?"

But this sarcastic remark seemed to remind Valensa, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Yes, since this game of chess is so strange, there's no need to follow the rules at all... It would be fine if the players just went into battle, right?

"Your white 'Queen' is coming soon!"

Valensa gently kissed Tia on the forehead as she spoke, then leaped off the King's platform to face the approaching enemy alongside the two remaining Chariots at the front line.

On the phantom chessboard in front of Tia, a miniature Valensa figure actually appeared, which she could control.

"This……"

Tia was dumbfounded. Could chess be played like this?

"Haha... Looks like I guessed right, Tia!"

Valensa smiled, drew her sword and shield, and struck a pose as a female knight about to charge:

"Now that you have a queen, is there still no chance of winning?"

"...No, I'm going to win now."

Tia, now full of vigor, picked up Valensa's miniature figure and, following the Queen's movements, launched an attack on a black chariot:

"Eat it first!"

"Small idea!"

Valensa had already memorized the combat tactics of these puppet soldiers from the high platform. She easily dodged the three spear thrusts coming from the front, circled around to the back of the black [chariot], and slashed out with her sword.

brush!

These puppet soldiers have no vital points; they can still fight even if their hearts are repeatedly pierced. So Valensa slashed at the leg joints of the black "chariot".

Chapter 141 Let's team up too!

I don't know what material these puppet soldiers are made of, but they're quite hard.

Even relatively weak points like leg joints are not so easy to sever.

The feeling of Valensa slashing with her alloy longsword was probably similar to cutting meat with a kitchen knife.

It can be cut, but it takes a lot of effort.

Bang.

After Valensa severed one of the legs, the puppet soldier collapsed.

But it did not give up the fight; instead, it continued to swing its spear and stab Valensa from below.

Valensa twisted her body again to dodge the spear and slammed her round shield into the puppet soldier.

Then she leaped high into the air and slammed her foot down onto the round shield on the puppet soldier's body.

Mental strength leads to increased weight.

I am very heavy, very heavy, very heavy! Right now, I am a thousand-pound princess!

Bang!

The long, black-stockinged legs encased in leather boots slammed heavily onto the round shield, the impact causing the chessboard to tremble slightly.

The internal structure of the puppet soldier under the round shield must have been damaged as well, because it quickly stopped moving after being stepped on by Valensa through the shield.

Valensa carefully examined the chessboard again, and after confirming that it was no different from when Tia had played, she turned around triumphantly and gave a "V" sign to the platform.

She guessed right. The rules of this game of chess weren't so rigid; if a player couldn't win a game, they could simply step in and join the fray.

Then continue.

Valensa charged at another black "chariot" again, but after only two steps, she was bounced back to her original position with a thud, clutching her head and wincing in pain.

It seemed as if she had bumped into an invisible wall.

"This is……"

After gritting her teeth and reaching out to touch it, Valensa finally understood what was going on.

This game does not prohibit trial participants from directly entering the game, but once you become a piece, you must abide by the rules. If a player does not move, they cannot leave their assigned square.

In other words, although the trial in this room is only worth 3 points, it is a trial that is difficult for a single person to complete. It requires at least one player and one piece to cooperate.

"You understood it too, didn't you, Tia!"

Having figured it out, Valensa waved loudly towards the platform:

"Move quickly and capture all of the opponent's pieces, then we'll win!"

"I don't need you to remind me of something so simple, you idiot!"

Tia snorted and quickly moved her pieces again.

She used the two remaining white [Chariots] to constantly create opportunities for Valenza, allowing Valenza to fight three other black [Chariots] one-on-one in the squares and eliminate them all.

However, the two white [Chariots] were also cut down by the black [Queen], and now the situation on the chessboard has entered the final battle.

Queen VS Queen

When promoted to [Queen], the appearance of the puppet soldier will also change significantly.

The originally androgynous body will develop obvious feminine curves, and the weapon in hand will change from a spear to a two-handed greatsword, making the movements more agile, stronger, and faster.

This time, Black seized the opportunity to attack first. The Black Queen raised her two greatswords and delivered a powerful leaping slash to Valensa.

Valensa hesitated for a moment, but did not choose to dodge. Instead, she raised her shield with her right hand to block, while simultaneously thrusting her sword with her left hand at the leg joint of the Black Queen who was jumping in mid-air.

As a result, the Black Queen changed her tactics in mid-air. She abandoned her slash and used her feet to step over Valenza's longsword and round shield in turn, easily jumping behind Valenza before swinging her sword back to strike.

Valensa, having been stomped on, found it difficult to turn around quickly and had to roll on the ground in a rather disheveled manner to dodge the Black Queen's sword.

"Damn it, it's just a mere doll, yet it dares to make me do that kind of pose!"

Valensa seemed somewhat annoyed after getting up again. Her aura suddenly intensified, and she thrust out her alloy longsword with afterimages, launching an attack as fierce as a storm.

The power of the mind, fully enhanced!

The puppet soldiers who have been promoted to the rank of [Queen] are definitely at the Pearl level in terms of strength, but they are still slightly weaker than Valensa after she has undergone a full upgrade.

In addition, the excellent physical properties of the purple rare alloy longsword caused numerous sword marks to appear on the Black Queen's body, and it was only a matter of minutes before she collapsed completely.

We won!

Valensa remained calm and composed, not rushing to win, but maintaining her advantage and steadily suppressing the Black Queen.

Just as the black queen had one arm severed and both of her leg joints injured, and was about to be completely immobilized after taking two more sword strikes, the player on the black king's platform suddenly moved.

The chess player also jumped down from the platform onto the chessboard, transforming into a beam of black light and merging into the body of the Black Queen.

In less than 10 seconds, the black light completely repaired the damage Valensa had caused to the Black Queen and even gave it a pair of beautiful black wings.

Upon gaining the ability to fly, the Black Queen immediately changed tactics. It continuously swooped down on Valensa, striking only once at a time before flying back up, never lingering in battle.

Valensa, having lost air superiority, suddenly found herself at a disadvantage.

She quickly shouted at Tia in a coquettish tone:

"Tia! Look, they're actually combining! ...Why don't you come down and combine with me? Our combined form will definitely look better than theirs!"

"You big-headed devil! You shameless, stupid, vase-like female knight! The enemy just has a pair of wings and you're no match for them? You're utterly useless~~"

Tia immediately blushed with embarrassment and gave Valensa a look of disgust.

Valensa, however, didn't seem to care and continued to smile playfully.

"Yeah, yeah... I'm just a silly, pretty female knight, I can't do anything without Tia's help... so please help me, Tia!"
