Chapter 2189: Capturing the King



"The chess game of the Heavenly River will begin in 30 seconds."

A grand and seemingly omnipresent voice rushed into the minds of all the participants at the same time. Another rule of placing pieces surged into everyone's minds.

Regardless of whether it was red or black, the commander-in-chief's order was the first action sequence. If the commander-in-chief's order wasn't given within 60 seconds, it would be equivalent to giving up on the order of the current round.

After the commander-in-chief's order was issued and implemented, the other chess players would act freely. The sequence would be Chariots, Horses, Cannons, Ministers, Advisors, and Soldiers and Pawns.

If the chess players did not take action within 60 seconds, it would be considered as giving up on this round of operations. In the same camp, the priority of action is given to the one one the left when there are two identical chess pieces.

The red and black camps acted in sequence.

As this information surged into everyone's minds, everyone was stunned. Xu Tui, Judge Liu, Ullr, and the others already understood the complexity of the Heavenly River Chessboard.

How an ordinary chess piece was placed was completely up to the chess player.

As the general of the chess players, he could only force a chess piece to act according to his will. The other chess pieces could act on their own. It became much more uncontrollable. However, in theory, this rule of placing chess pieces was good news for Ullr.

This was because Ullr could theoretically command all the chess pieces.

On the other side, other than the rules of the chessboard, Black General Lu Qi could only command the forces under him.

However, the benefits of this good news were also very limited.

Although the black chess lineup on the other side was composed of the Great Xi Clan, the Muyas, and the Spiritual Race, these three clans had a precedent of cooperation in the previous battle against the solar system.

Based on the previous situation where the elite forces of Black Chess were ten times that of Red Chess, Red Chess might only have a 5% chance of winning.

The current order only increased the chances of Red Chess winning from 5% to 10%.

While Ullr was overjoyed by this rule, the leaders of the three races on the black chess side had already begun to finalize the terms.

"Lu Qi, we will do our best to help you win the chess game. However, during the process of the chess game, the forces under your command have to cooperate with us as much as possible to kill the chess pieces on the other side and obtain the reward."

"Sure. Without affecting the overall victory, I will try my best to cooperate with you to obtain the results.'

This was the final cooperation agreement after discussion between Tu Hou, Lu Qi, and Qiao An. This was because chess was mainly about killing the other party's chess master and obtaining the other party's most precious thing.

Currently, they did not know how the other party's chess master's most precious item was determined. Logically speaking, this reward was definitely not small.

One thing was certain, Lu Qi, who was the fuser of the black side's general chess piece, would definitely obtain a considerable reward after winning the chess game. In that case, Tu Hou and Qiao An could only settle for the next best thing and take other rewards.

The countdown screen of three, two, and one appeared above the chessboard, then quickly ended.

The Heavenly River Chessboard officially began. The Red Team took the initiative.

The two cannons also moved horizontally under the cooperation. One cannon went up to the river to assist in the defense. The other cannon moved behind Xu Tui and the other two soldiers and had an offensive posture.

There were four chess pieces on the second line. Lu Qi did not order them to fight. If they fought, they might win, but they might lose a lot.

Therefore, while Lu Qi was organizing his attacks, he once again faced the enemy head-on. The third and seventh lines of black soldiers advanced at the same time. The red and black soldiers were already facing each other. The next step was to charge forward.

In just two rounds, the chess game had become very complicated. The bloody battle was

about to begin.

The main reason was that there was a chess master who could move freely. All the chess pieces could move once every round.

The chess game progressed to the third round. At this point, Ullr had no choice. They had to attack in all directions. If they did not attack soon, the Red Team would completely lose their advantage. If they lost this advantage, the possibility of the Red Team being defeated would

be as high as 95%.

In the next moment, Ullr decisively gave an order, similar to a switch.

The red cannon on the third line advanced by six. It bombarded the black soldiers on the other side. Then, the third red soldier on Xu Tui's side also advanced by six. They attacked the black soldiers on the other side with the red cannon.

Ullr almost gave up on the position on the right. He pulled all his forces toward the chessboard on the left. This was not in line with the style of chess, but this Heavenly River Chessboard was completely different from ordinary chess.

If Ullr did not make such an adjustment, the black chess pieces would be able to severely injure the red team in an instant as long as they attacked from all directions in the next round. The space in front of Xu Tui, who was attacking the third-line black soldiers with the red cannon, suddenly turned illusionary. The 100-strong army he led also charged into a battlefield. He and the red cannon had a total of 400 troops to attack the 100 black soldiers. They had the advantage in numbers, but they could not compare to the elites.

Xu Tui and the red cannon only had a total of 20 Nine Satellites. The black soldiers on the other side had a total of 60 Nine Satellites, and 40 of them were all Eight Satellites. The Red Team had been at a disadvantage from the beginning of this battle. Many people might be afraid when they encounter such a battle. For example, the Three-eyed Ghost King of the Red Cannon had no hope of winning when he saw such a battle. He only hoped that he could go to the Reincarnation Division to revive after he was killed.

The Three-Eyed Ghost King suddenly froze. He saw Lord Taishan, who was Xu Tui, charge into the other party's camp like a sharp sword. In just a breath, two of the Nine Satellites Planetary realm experts had been killed by his God Slaying Sword.

The God Slaying Sword was extremely sharp. But ten normal soldiers on Xu Tui's side had died

in battle.

"Three Eyes, kill! Cover me!" As Xu Tui roared, his gaze suddenly locked onto the black chess player opposite him.

Xu Tui's shout for cover was for Judge Liu. When they saw how ferocious he was, the Nine

Satellites of the Spiritual Race on the other side had already begun to focus their fire on Xu

Tui. The moment he asked Judge Liu to lead an army to defend him, Xu Tui's God Slaying Sword suddenly became smaller and disappeared.

On the other side, the chess master of the Nine Satellites suddenly had a look of fear. A dark-

colored God Slaying Sword suddenly appeared in front of his head and instantly pierced through it.

The void in front of him collapsed into nothingness. The moment the black chess master dissipated, the flags behind all the 100 soldiers led by the black pawns collapsed, along with

their figures.

Xu Tui heaved a sigh of relief. Capturing the leader was useful. A majestic voice rushed into his mind again. There were also changes on the Heavenly River Chessboard.
