Chapter 45: No mercy(1/2)
The game between Degui and Ningzhe attracted many people.
Not only the audience who had watched the match between Degui and Xingqiu before, but also some who came with Natalie.
That's right, when she heard that Ningzhe had started the competition, Natalie rushed over without stopping.
Seeing that Natalie, an unstoppable player, paid so much attention to Ningzhe, many players who had not yet started the game also rushed over.
After glancing at Degui, Natalie's eyes were filled with the dark-haired boy sitting next to him with a plain face.
After seeing Natalie's demeanor, the players from all walks of life were even more shocked.
I originally thought that Ningzhe was just the young boss of Yunhai Bookstore. Could it be that he had some great strength?
...
Game start.
Virtue and honor hold blue, Ningzhe holds red.
In this game, it seems that God is on Degui's side.
Medical clinics, granaries, newspapers and periodicals... almost all important and beneficial strategic points are painted near Degui's blue square.
Outside Ningzhe's red square main city, there are only scattered docks, taverns and other buildings.
"It's bad... With such a disadvantageous start, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Boss Ning to win."
"Yes, not to mention that both the medical center and the granary are in Degui's hands. Xiaozhe's situation may be in jeopardy."
Seeing such a "Tianhu" start, the onlookers at the scene made unfavorable comments.
"..."
Natalie was the only one who said nothing and looked at Ningzhe seriously.
"Tsk tsk...This situation is really unfriendly."
During the chess game, Ningzhe also sighed helplessly.
"Hahaha, Xiaozhe, if God helps me, it won't be unfair if you lose in this game!"
In contrast, Degui felt a lot more relieved and felt a little proud for a while.
"Hey..." Ningzhe sighed again and casually sent some chess pieces to the dock.
As for Degui, they are naturally hungry and frantically occupying various buildings such as medical clinics and newspapers.
After taking over these buildings, Degui's Blue Convenient began to frantically produce all kinds of mysterious medicines.
At the same time, Ningzhe seemed much calmer.
After occupying the dock, Ningzhe actually began to hire ships for navigation and trade. While trading, he began to inject funds to build a fleet, and at the same time sent additional capital to the land to occupy military buildings such as the "Military Aircraft Department" and "Workshop"
.
Soon, Ningzhe gathered a well-equipped team.
This force quietly boarded the warship and sailed to Degui's blue square area together with other sailing ships.
However, it seems that the size of this fleet is a bit strange.
To be precise, some of the soldiers and warships are relatively sophisticated, while other parts of the fleet are slightly shoddy.
However, most of the fine ships had very deep drafts and seemed to be full of soldiers. Moreover, the warships themselves were quite sophisticated and looked mighty.
"...Um?"
These details were keenly noticed by Degui, but because of this, he felt extremely confused.
His doubt is...
Degui knew that Ningzhe had watched the entire previous game, and also knew that Ningzhe must have known that he had the ability to poison himself after occupying the medical center...
Then why did Ningzhe dare to send troops directly?
A trace of doubt flashed through Degui's mind, but it was quickly dismissed by himself.
No matter what, as long as he releases the [poison], Ningzhe's troops will not be able to escape the tragedy of destruction even if they are on the sea!
Soon, Degui's blue chess pieces began to move in large numbers, and one small fleet after another approached Ningzhe's fleet step by step.
boom!
Suddenly, the extremely peaceful and harmonious sea was filled with artillery fire.
Although after being processed by the workshop, the fleet had considerable firepower, but in the face of Degui's "death" attack, some places were finally broken through.
Soon...an unspeakable plague began to spread across the fleet.
The clear sea was dyed a strange dark green, and chess pieces, whether blue or red, were wailing among the warships one after another.
Seeing such a tragic situation, Ningzhe's face became extremely solemn, and his hands even trembled slightly.
On the other hand, Degui had a proud look on his face, as if he was proud of the success of his tactics.
"Xiao Zhe, although I admire you for raising a fleet with good combat effectiveness. But facing my plan... any army is useless!"
Once he succeeded, Degui spoke proudly.
"..."
But Ningzhe ignored him, and instead arranged various affairs in the dock, taking the time to dispatch two merchant ships.
"Oh? Are you still thinking about trading now?"
Seeing Ningzhe's actions, Degui burst out laughing, seemingly mocking Ningzhe's operation.
Except for a few ships that fled, the red fleet carefully built by Ningzhe was almost completely wiped out. Such a major blow would be difficult to recover through a short period of trade.
Although... the fact that the plague didn't spread was somewhat inconsistent with Degui's plan.
But it doesn't matter, he has defeated Ningzhe's troops, and victory is only a matter of time!
With his success, Degui quickly mobilized the reserve forces arranged in medical clinics and newspapers, and quickly raised a large army on land.
"This army alone is enough to end this game without any suspense!"
Seeing the blue army pouring towards the red area, Degui spoke in a rather proud tone.
In his eyes, it was impossible for Ningzhe without an army to resist his blue army.
"...haha, really?"
Unexpectedly, Ningzhe suddenly raised his head and smiled.
"What?"
Seeing Ningzhe's smile, Degui frowned instinctively.
Could it be... could it be that I still have some flaws?
Degui quickly looked at the chessboard.
On land...the army is advancing with overwhelming force, encountering almost no obstruction.
There seems to be no problem on the sea...
wrong!
Where did that huge fleet that didn’t look sophisticated come from?!
In Degui's horrified eyes, a huge fleet sailed from the edge of the sea, aiming directly at Degui's main city.
That's...a pirate?!
"Why can you persuade pirates? This is against the rules! According to the rules, pirates cannot directly intervene in the game!"
Degui stood up immediately and started to argue as if jumping up and down.
"...Of course, according to general rules, pirates will not directly participate in the struggle between players."
Ningzhe's reaction was unexpectedly calm. He just looked at Degui calmly and spoke in an almost indifferent tone.
"But...you used the plague to poison the pirates' merchant ships and brought the plague back to the pirates' lair...Coupled with my need for an alliance, what choice do you think they will make?"
Plague! Pirates! Merchant ships!
No wonder, no wonder some of the ships in Ningzhe's previous army were extremely old and dilapidated, and they didn't look like warships built in workshops and docks at all!
Was that a pirate merchant ship?!
It turns out... the fleet this boy sent out was not conducting long-distance trade... but making deals with pirates?
Degui suddenly thought that he had indeed let go of several seriously damaged ships. He originally hoped that these soldiers infected with the plague could spread the plague to Ningzhe's main city, but he did not expect... that it actually spread to Ningzhe's main city.
Pirate's lair?
"Mr. Degui...you think poisoning is a tactic, and you use chess pieces as victims to launch attacks...you have taken the wrong path from the beginning."
"What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson? If the piracy was your plan, then weren't the warships you sent and the soldiers on them also dragged to their death by you?!"
Hearing Ningzhe's flat tone, Degui retorted angrily.
"...No."
To be continued...
