Chapter 282

There were tons of mini-games in CS.

Chess, Go, Backgammon, Shogi, and other classics, as well as board games that are unique to CS.

Unsurprisingly, they became cult favorites among players. Some have even asked why they are not released separately. The board game I’m going to be practicing, Bush War Land, was one of the most beloved of them all.

‘If things had gone the way they were supposed to, Jegal Hyun-ho’s Bush War Land would have been a huge success, and the creator would have become famous for another game.’

It’s a game that’s popular now, and it’s no wonder, since the motif of the game was ‘bush war land’.

Although the game is currently only popular among enthusiasts, it has enough charm to take the world by storm in the future.

“I think we need to try to get it together first. Do you know how to play?”

“Sure. I’m better than you think.”

He smirks at my comment.

“Well, then let’s just go out and make it simple with the guys outside. Follow me.”

With that, he opened the door and walked over to the two guys who were still outside.

“Huh, president, I heard you’re working on the bushland DLC this time. Is it finished?”

“Roughly. It’s called Bush War Land. What do you think?”

“What? Bush War Land? Well, it’s okay, but......does Eugene over there know how to play?”

“Yeah, he’s good at it. Anyway, me and Eugene will team up, so you two can do it.”

He replied nonchalantly and took out a large box from one of the shelves.

On its surface, the words ‘Bush War Land’ were written in fancy Korean characters.

“What?! No, I mean, how can I win against one of the game creators?”

“I’m just trying to see how good Eugene is, so I’ll play moderately.”

“Ah......I think you’ll lose, but it’ll be fun since it’s been a while. Let’s get started, shall we?”

After opening the box and taking out the folded field, Jegal Hyunho slowly begins to energize it.

The field automatically unfolds and expands like a large table, and a terrain begins to form on top of it.

“How about I take care of the military?”

“Yes, because I’m going to be the general.”

The rules of the game weren’t too difficult.

The terrain changes automatically from board to board. The “soldiers” give orders to the general and his soldiers, and the general follows the orders and controls the general’s pieces.

A particularly important ability for generals is the ‘control’ ability.

Unlike the soldiers, who can only issue orders automatically, the General’s horse had to be controlled by the player.

“The terrain is pretty shitty this time.”

Black was the opponent, white was us.

“Anyway, I made it, but I was lucky.”

Our opponent had forested terrain on either side of the board, favorable for ambush and stealth, stretching all the way to the center, while we had flat ground.

If we wandered into the wrong area, we were bound to be ambushed by the opponent.

“Junior. Do you have a favorite?”

“I’ll leave it up to you.”

The characteristic of this game is that instead of being played in 3 rounds, there is a set amount of money for each round.

In the first round, the amount was 100G.

The prices of the classes were as follows

Spearmen: 20G

Archers: 25G

Swordsmen: 20G

Cavalry: 30G

Armored Cavalry: 50G

The general had to buy classes based on the terrain and the characteristics of the opponent, but.......

“Eugene, you said you use aura, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then I won’t buy any troops, I’ll just reinforce you. Is that okay?”

“What? All of it?”

“Everything.”

With a smile on his face, Jegal Hyun-ho diligently set up the cards.

The general’s piece, standing still in white, begins to shimmer and change.

First, a horse appears and the general begins to ride it, and then armor begins to appear around him, changing his appearance.

The Unyielding Sword is in his hands.

A skill that forcibly challenges the opposing general to a confrontation.

“I refuse!”

“Well, of course.”

He could refuse, of course.

The scarlet line that was meant to connect them is severed but this was my trick.

What I was really aiming for was the secondary effect.

[Penalty!]

[Black team members: 101]

[White team: 1]

[Black team’s soldiers are agitated.]

[Black team’s morale drops significantly.]

The enemy’s morale is greatly reduced by the penalty of not accepting the challenge from the enemy, who has only one man left.

In an instant, the enemy’s formation begins to unravel.

I seize the opportunity and charge straight into the center of the spearmen’s formation.

“Holy shit......!”

The enemy general steps forward to block my path.

I take control of the general’s horse, gently pushing past him, and manage to get all the way into the center of the formation.

My opponent’s soldiers are already heavily demoralized.

With just a few swings of my sword, the formation begins to completely collapse.

I hear a sigh from the other side.

“......This isn’t going to work. GG, surrender.”

The other team finally surrenders.

“One-man army. I thought it was only theoretical, so I didn’t know if it would work, but here it is.”

The other team mumbles in disbelief. In response, Jegal Hyun-ho also let out a laugh and said,

“I didn’t think it would work like this either. Are you a real monster? I asked you to play, but I didn’t think you’d finish the game by yourself.”

“I told you, I’m better than you think.”

“Well......let’s move on to round two, shall we?”

The opposing seniors sigh as Jegal Hyun-ho prepares to set up.

“Oh, you’re just going to strengthen the juniors again.”

“I won’t do it this time, so try to block it well.”

“Seriously, you’re really going to do that?”

In the second round, both sides start to reorganize using the 200G they were given.

This time, he chose to buy an armored cavalry after giving me only basic weapons.

He then spends all of his remaining money on improving the skill of the armored cavalry.

“I’ll do the ordering. You use your skills at the right time to tie up the opponent.”

“Yes, sir.”

Round 2 began.

Once again, we rushed into the opponent’s formation, and we were able to catch them in the center before they could reach the forest formation.

If they were ordinary armored cavalrymen, they would have been exhausted halfway through the battle, but these are the most skilled cavalrymen following behind me.

They don’t get tired just from this.

“Damn it, president, you’re really dirtying up the game!”

This time, my opponent’s soldiers are wiped out like an eraser, thanks to Jegal Hyun-ho’s skillful cavalry control.

As I stared at the scene in disbelief, I was convinced that I had come to the right place.

“Senior. It looks like we’re a better match than I thought.”

“You thought so too, junior? What a coincidence.”

The match is coming to an end, with the game virtually completely in our favor.

“I guess winning the tournament won’t be too hard after this.”

“Well, I heard the student council president is playing in this tournament.”

As I mutter that, watching my opponent get swept away, Jegal Hyun-ho snaps his head around.

“What? Ray Pendragon. That asshole’s playing?”

“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”

Boom.

Jegal Hyun-ho’s fist clenches hard.

“I’ve been meaning to give that bastard a bite sometime, but this is a good opportunity, right?”

From his perspective, who was recently attacked by the student council, the student council is his enemy.

“I guess we’ll have to come up with a new plan.”

Jegal Hyun-ho’s eyes shine.

As expected, he had the right person.

“Ray Pendragon. You’ll lose.”

There was a cold hatred in his voice as he said that.
