Chapter 73 The Strongest Soldier
chess - chess, also known as chess or European chess, is a strategic board game for two players. (., net) The chess board of chess is composed of 64 black and white grids. Each black and white chess piece is 16, mostly made of wood or plastic, and is also made of stones; more exquisite stones, glass or metal chess pieces are often used as decorative decorations. Chess is one of the most popular games in the world.
The four major chess categories in the world are all related to the country's political system. The political system reflected by chess is the feudal society of the West. Compared with the other 3 chess categories, chess politics is more intense:
For example, the social hierarchy reflected is more obvious, and the names of chess pieces are linked to social classes - such as: bishop, knight, chariot, etc.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the most powerful piece in chess is the "Queen", which highlights the status and role of the queen in Western feudal society. This reflects the unique feature of Western feudal society in history, that is, the unique position of women in political activities. (Because of political marriage, the queen represents the support of the third-party joint army. In addition, there is no queen in Chinese chess and other similar chess games, or there is no position of women at all).
...
Please don't get me wrong. This book is not "A Beginner of Chess" but "The Peerless Mad House". However, the reason why this two-player game is explained in a little detail is because...
"Click!"
After careful consideration, Mandorov solemnly left a son. Kuroko's "Queen" forced Baizi's "chariot" to the edge. By the way, he protected his "knight"'s retreat.
"Well, it's been a long time since you haven't finished. Teacher, you are getting better and better."
Fastro VII smiled bitterly and let his "chariot" retreat to the back line, giving up the continuous attack and consolidating his own line.
"Huhuhuhu. People will make progress every day. My Majesty, the possibility of growth is not the privilege of you young people."
The old demon wizard who had the upper hand was a little proud when he heard the praise.
Please don't complain about why there are chess in another world. This is probably due to the unpredictable guy in Aussetin. Chess is a chess game that has been popular in the palace since the age of the gods, and it is even popular not only in the upper class, but also in the folk.
It is said that this is a game invented by an Aussetian priest who received God's revelation while practicing and meditating...
Speaking of which, for Aussettine, standing outside time and space, it is not too strange to randomly pull one or two other things from the torrent of time to add some entertainment to Truntucker, right? Or if he doesn't do this with his personality, it would be abnormal.
“…I’m right. People make progress every day.”
"How is it? My Majesty? It's boring to play chess with me, this old man?"
Looking at Fastro VII's thoughtful look, Mandorov asked happily, stroking his gray beard, his beard was cleaned every day, of course, the bow tied to the end of his beard was still the same. It was not that he suddenly became clean, but that the old wizard who was devoted to magic research had no intention of dealing with these trivial matters. In addition, his disciples were like him, who could see nothing but study anything in his eyes.
The Fata is built in a wilderness far away from the crowd, and there are no outsiders all year round. There are no one in that place except the magicians who live in it. The magician's research is too dangerous, especially the old mage's research. There will be problems every now and then, and you have to worry about your life safety when you are a guest. Not to mention that the waiter who is responsible for taking care of their daily lives lives there, so there has never been a waiter who can take care of their daily lives to move into the magic tower.
However, since I obtained the Feitian Magic Tower, it has been convenient for the Magic Tower to communicate with the Wuxin Palace. The waiters who are responsible for various functions can enter the Magic Tower at any time through the light ladder of the Wuxin Palace to clean up (the small-scale teleportation array is still in the experimental stage. Therefore, setting up a magic array in the building is still a big challenge), and Cocoli forbids him to hug Xiaofei in a dirty state, so the old man was happy to let people clean up every day.
"Hmm? Oh... no, sorry, I've divided the gods a little."
Fastro VII explained with a wry smile.
"I just think this chessboard is very similar to our current situation."
"Oh? Is it true? Let me come and take a look...hey! I didn't notice it if you didn't say it. It's a bit like it after you mentioned it like this!"
The pieces on the chess board perform their duties: kings, queens, knights, bishops, chariots, soldiers... faithfully perform their duties in their respective positions.
"It seems that this is His Majesty."
Once he was aroused, he couldn't control himself. The old master suddenly became childish and pointed at the "king" of the white chess and said happily.
Maybe it was due to his personality. Fastro VII's chess style was very similar to his own style. Bai Zi's king suddenly charged alone in a corner of the position, looking a little lonely and dangerous. However, the old mage knew that if he took action against this "king", the price he had to pay next would be incalculable. Bai Zi's other chess pieces seemed to be scattered and irrelevant, but they had vague connections, like a trap that hidden itself deeply. Once triggered, devastating blows would follow one after another - and the bait of this trap was exactly the "king" himself!
"And this is our Highness Clena."
The old mage's finger then pointed to Baizi's "Queen" who was on the other end of the chessboard, who was in charge of his own bottom line. Although he did not charge, the "Queen" position was also very wonderful, and he was a little slimly planning and controlling the overall situation. (The reason why the "Queen" in chess is the strongest is because the "Queen" walks the most free way, that is, you can walk straight lines like a "chariot" or take a diagonal line like a "bishop". Moreover, unlike the "King" can only walk one square at a time, there is no limit on the number of steps of the "Queen".)
"Haha, indeed, since St. Ostan has become Queen Clena, the connection with the Santa Alliance has become closer, and the communication between other races in the country has become more ordinary."
The virtuous Queen is not as pampered as other ladies in the boudoir. On the contrary, she has always actively used her own methods to expand her influence among the people. For example, expanding church schools, adding medical facilities, resolving conflicts among residents of various ethnic groups in the royal city, etc. It is precisely because she silently supports her husband behind her back. Therefore, the reputation of the Fastro royal family in St. Ostan has always remained at its peak.
It is not an exaggeration to say that His Highness is Fastro VII's strongest backing.
So, behind a successful man, there must be an excellent woman, and this is not true.
"Speaking of this, this is your master."
Although the topic was not deliberately raised by me, since the excitement had been aroused, Fastro VII was happy to follow this idea. He pointed to a piece of his own and joked with the old master with a smile.
"Well?! Is I a 'chariot'?"
When Mandorov's face immediately became amused and laughed.
When did the magician, who was obviously a combination of wisdom and technology, become a rampant "chariot"?
It feels a bit disappointing.
"Haha, the magic developed by teachers and students played a great role in the battlefield, which made our legion less worry. And I recently studied the information provided by Akan and found something new - the chariots in their world are equipped with cannons."
"Does Your Majesty mean that I am the 'chariot' of that world?"
"Well. I can say that."
In the Rewu era, chariots were equal to long-range attack weapons. In this sense, the old mage was really suitable for this kind of character.
"Then Rodman's barbaric lion is this most active 'knight'?"
"That's exactly what it is. The 'Knight' who charges alone and opens up the road to victory for us is very consistent with Rodman."
"So, Lord Veronica is the 'bishop'."
"That's right, assist the 'king' and protect the safety of the 'king'. If you have any questions, you will come to the front line to assist others. The Bishop is very competent."
"Well, from that point of view, we are really very similar to this chessboard."
"That's right."
"But my Majesty, have you forgotten someone?"
"Oh? Teacher, do you mean~~?"
Fastro VII raised his head in surprise, but when he saw the naughty but meaningful look in the old mage's eyes, he immediately realized it.
"In His Majesty's heart, what are our children in?"
"Are you talking about Akan?"
Fastro smiled freely in the face of the old mage's questions.
"Ah kid~~ That guy is a 'soldier'!"
"Hey hey! My Majesty! Is this a bit too much? 'Soldier'? Then you are your prospective son-in-law at least. If he lets him know his place in your heart, he will be sad!"
"But this is the best position for him."
After so long together, Fastro VII also knew Feng Kan very well. He seemed to be able to do anything, but it seemed that nothing was appropriate. The reason was that this guy would never do what he didn't like to do, so so far, Fastro VII has never assigned him a clear position.
"That guy, although he is a 'soldier', he is not an ordinary 'soldier'..."
As the chess game approached the final game, Bai Zi's "king" seemed to be at a loss, and it seemed that he would be forced into a desperate situation by one step. However, Fastro VII turned a blind eye to such crises. Not only did he not let the "king" escape, but he picked up another piece - it was an unknown "soldier" who advanced step by step in obscurity, and was also Bai Zi's last soldier.
"He is the strongest 'soldier'!"
"Bang!"
The last soldiers finally arrived at the bottom line of the enemy's formation!
Rise into a chariot!
——General! And it’s a dead chess!
(Yuesheng: The "soldiers" in chess are just like the "soldiers" in Chinese chess. They can only advance one by one, but when they reach the bottom line of the enemy's formation, they can become any other piece except the "king". The soldiers at the bottom are the people with the most possibilities, which is also the most unique thing about chess.)
