Chapter 257 Sword vs Chess
After both parties unveiled their plaques, it was time to take action.
Like Qi's side.
[Xiangqi] released 30 points of [First Aid] to the [Pawn] in the middle.
The [Pawn] in the middle chose [Defense].
The remaining two [Pawns] attack the [Defending] [Female Thief], causing 15+15 points of damage.
[King Chess] attacks the [Defending] [Female Thief], causing 10 points of damage.
A total of 40 points of damage, 20 points of which were offset by [Shield].
[Xiangqi] released 30 points of [Healing] to the [Zhunqi] in the middle.
Shi Li is here.
[Female Thief] chose [Defense].
[Leader Frog] released 20 points of [Shield] on [Female Thief].
[Heroic Bandit] attacks the [Pawn] on the left, causing 30 points of damage.
[Blind Swordsman] attacks the [Pawn] on the left, causing 30 damage and restoring 1 energy.
[Golden Bell User] lost 40 health points and caused 1 line of AOE damage. Since the three cards on the opposite side all had 10 points of [Shield], and the [Pawn] in the middle was [Defending], it only destroyed the [Shield] and did not cause any damage.
After the second round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Heaven and Earth Plate】
130 points, 5 cards remaining 180 points
【Cover】【Handy Chess】0/5【Cover】
【Fold】【Fold】【Fold】
【Cover】【Xiangqi】【Cover】
[Pawn 40][Pawn 90][Pawn]
VS
[Female Thief 20] [Golden Bell 20] [Blind Sword] 1/3
【Hero】【Cover】【Cover】
【Master】【Cover】【Cover】
150 points, 5 cards remaining 150 points
[Sword Soul Hall] (9/15)
Hunchback Sister: [In this round, it seems like player No. 2 Wang has the upper hand]
[Because the opponent's attack hit the defense, but his attack did not hit the defense]
[And seeing as he continued to use Jinling to burn blood, it seems that his trump card should have been placed in the middle column.]
Director Feng: [Well, I agree with your point of view]
[Next, the low-health female thief will fight to the death, and the blind swordsman has accumulated 1 energy point]
[In the next round, player No. 2 will have a burst of output]
[The health points lost before will most likely be earned back]
[Let's see if the elephant chess and card game revealed by player No. 1 Wang can handle it well]
A new round has arrived, and this time it is Xiang Qi's turn to reveal his card.
[Hiss, choke, choke~! ]
With a sharp neigh, Yuanqi slowly rose up, holding a horse with its hooves raised.
【Knight chess】
Balanced, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100
[Pawn - Passive]: The horse piece must be placed in a fixed position before it can be revealed.
[Knives-Passive]: The knight cannot attack the target in the same column
[Day Horse - Passive]: The horse can cross 1 square to block the target.
[Linked Horses - Passive]: When two knight pieces are adjacent to each other, attack power +10 & health limit +10
Director Feng: [Good card! This card just meets the needs of contestant No. 1 right now]
[The opponent's female thief and golden bell user are both at low health, and there is at least one card in the next row that is in the face-down state.]
[Not only this round, it will be able to directly attack the opponent's second row of cards, so that the output will not be wasted]
[You can also continue to threaten the opponent's second row of cards, even the last row of cards, and even the trump card in the following rounds]
Hunchback Sister: [No wonder the No. 1 player was so confident that he revealed his trump card position in the first round]
[It seems that he is not worried about being penetrated at all, because he will penetrate the opponent faster? ]
Sister Hunchback's analysis makes a lot of sense.
When Shi Li saw this [Knight Chess] piece, he immediately got a headache.
Because he can guess that the opponent's other card in the second row is most likely a [Knight].
The two [Knight] pieces occupy the left and right columns respectively, posing a great threat to the middle column.
It seems that my previous plan to defeat the opponent's ace column as quickly as possible cannot be carried out.
But the only good news is that after a little hesitation, I did not choose to reveal the [Unknown Sword Spirit] behind the [Leader Frog].
Instead, he chose to reveal the cards in the middle column.
bite!
【Buzz...clang! 】
After the air vibrated, a sword sound was heard.
A long sword made of energy shot out from the card, sometimes overflowing with red light and sometimes shining with blue light.
[Break the Balance Sword]
Break, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Break the Balance Spirit - Passive]: When the Break the Balance Sword is attacked by a Balance Card , the damage is -10
[Break the Balance Attack - Passive]: When the Break the Balance Sword causes damage to the Balance Card, it is [True Damage]
[Break the Balance Sword - 3 Energy]: The Break the Balance Sword deals 30 damage to the target. For each Balance Reveal card on the field, an additional 5 damage is added.
(【True Damage】: cannot be offset or reduced by any defensive means)
After all, this is the Balance Zone, and the value of the [Breaking Balance Sword] is still very high.
Putting aside other things, just the first and second row cards on the opposite side, including the two [Knight Chess], that’s 6 balanced cards.
This does not include Shi Li’s own side.
Director Feng: [Wow, this card! ]
Hunchback Sister: [Wow, Kejun brand? It’s really rare! ]
Director Feng: [And it is also a counter to both offense and defense. The strength of this card is simply too high.]
[A top-quality B-grade card that is comparable to or even better than ordinary A-grade cards]
【Good cards, good cards! 】
A card that can make Director Feng admire it so much must be an absolutely good card.
The audience in the stadium were naturally shocked.
"Oh my god, this is the best card I've seen in the past 9 days!"
"Well, including the A-level cards that have appeared, I also think it is the strongest!"
"Drool! It makes me drool!"
"Give me a card like this, and I'll trade it for 10 years of my good brother's life!"
"I'll be out for 20 years!"
However, the card table inside the blue light barrier was very quiet, and Shi Li could not hear the noise inside.
"Good cards, good cards."
When Xiang Qi saw this card, he couldn't help but feel a mixture of envy and fear.
After both sides unveiled their cards, the action round soon arrived.
Like Qi's side.
2 [Pawns] attack [Female Thief], causing 30+30 damage.
The total damage is 60 points, take it away.
[Shuai Qi] attacks the [defending] [Blind Swordsman], causing 10 points of damage.
1 [Pawn] attacks the [Defending] [Blind Swordsman], causing 15 points of damage.
[Knight Chess] attacks the [Defending] [Blind Swordsman], causing 15 points of damage.
[Xiangqi] attacks the [Defending] [Blind Swordsman], causing 15 points of damage.
The total amount of damage is 55 points.
Director Feng: [It’s over. This round, No. 1 Wang Defa was completely dominated by No. 2 Wang Defa.]
Hunchback Sister: [I can see that too. He is probably worried that the opponent will be shielded and defended by the female thief and then delayed for another round.]
[If this is the case, it will take 60 points of damage to take it away]
[In the end, player No. 2 Wang did not do so, causing him to waste his output]
[Then he invested another 110 points of damage in the Blind Swordsman, hoping to kill him instantly]
[It turns out that the person defending the other side is the blind swordsman, not the female thief]
Director Feng: [The idea is good, but the other party guessed it all]
[In fact, the best or most reliable strategy should be to let the horse attack the undefended card behind the blind swordsman]
Shi Li is here.
[Blind Swordsman] is [defending].
[Golden Bell User] loses 40 health points and causes 1 line of AOE damage. Since the three opposing cards all have 10 points of [Shield], it only causes 10 points of damage to the middle [Pawn].
At the same time, [Golden Bell User] exits the field due to self-injury, and the trump card shows [Reveal Now].
[Female Thief] + [Male Thief] attack the [Pawn] in the middle, causing 35 + 35 points of damage.
[Leader Frog] attacks the [Pawn] on the left, causing 30 points of damage.
[Breaking Sword] attacks the [Pawn] on the left, causing 30 points of damage and taking it away.
Sister Hunchback: [It seems that player No. 2 Wang feels the pressure from Ma Qi]
[So the pawn on the left is killed first]
Director Feng: [That’s right, but I’m curious about what kind of trump card he will reveal.]
After the third round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Heaven and Earth Plate】
160 points, 4 cards remaining 140 points
【Cover】【Handy Chess】1/5【Cover】
【Fold】【Fold】【Fold】
【Knight Chess】【Xiang Chess】【Cover Card】
[Empty Space][Pawn 20][Pawn]
VS
[Vacant] [Vacant] [Blind Sword 45] 1/3
【Heroic Thief】【Break the Balance】【Cover Card】
【Master】3/3【Cover】【Cover】
【Fold】【Reveal】【Fold】
180 points, 4 remaining cards 120 points
[Sword Soul Hall] (15/15)
The energy of the scene card was fully charged, but Shi Li held down the [Sword Vibration Technique] and did not use it.
Because he felt that the time had not yet come, and holding it in his hands would make it more likely for the other party to be wary.
Hunchback Sister: [Hmm...it looks like the situation for Contestant No. 2 is not optimistic.]
[The blood loss ratio reached 255:180]
[The gap is quite obvious. I don’t know if he can catch up.]
Director Feng: [It’s mainly because the pawn’s shield every round is too restraining to the Golden Bell Master.]
[Its AOE is useless and not worth the money]
In a new round, the first thing that comes is the card replacement phase.
In this round, Shi Li also replaced 1 card according to the situation on the cards.
Afterwards, the two sides entered the unveiling stage.
However, during this unveiling phase, the first action that occurred was not the unveiling.
[I will take my leave for now! ]
The pawn in the middle of the elephant suddenly turned around, knelt on one knee towards the king, and bowed.
call out!
Then the projection converged and the card turned into a covered card again.
This is the [Heaven and Earth Plate] at work. The priority of its action of covering the cards needs to be carried out during the card unveiling stage.
Xiang Qi wanted to save the [Pawn] which had only 20 health points left, but because of the negative attributes of the [Pawn], it could not accept the skill of the [King] to exchange the cards.
If you want to [defend], you might as well just cover the cards and get 50 points of first aid.
Because [Defense] + [Shield] can only withstand 40+20=60 points of output from the opponent.
After obtaining [First Aid], you can withstand 70 points of output, which is more profitable than [Defense].
The price you have to pay is the opportunity to act in this round, and you have to spend another chance to reveal the card if you want to use it.
But even if you can't survive, it's better to consume more of the opponent's output.
If you can survive, that would be great. In the next round, you can just cross the river alone and launch a final counterattack.
As for the card that Xiang Qi revealed, it was the card in the second row on the right, just as Shi Li expected.
It’s also a [Knight Chess], exactly the same as the previous one.
As soon as this card came out, it immediately sparked discussion on the commentary desk.
Director Feng: [Now, the situation of No. 2 Wang Defa is even more pessimistic]
Sister Hunchback: [Does Director Feng mean that these two horse pieces can easily threaten his trump card? ]
Director Feng: [That’s right]
[Knight] can attack through 1 square, so as long as Xiang Qi kills [Breaking Sword] which has become a wild card at all costs, he can directly attack his trump card through Shi Li's guard card.
Even now, two [Knight Chess] can attack the last row of cards behind them through the [Breaking Sword].
"Hey, I didn't want to reveal this card."
But how could Shi Li not have expected this?
Then he just snapped his fingers.
bite!
[I will jump up and hit your knees hard! ]
A projection of a short, brown-skinned goblin, dressed in black martial arts.
He had a red headband on his head and held a short red wooden stick in each hand.
The two short wooden sticks kept hitting each other rhythmically and jumped out from the cards.
Faced with such a situation, I had no choice but to use the Kung Fu card.
【Double Stick Goblin】
Balanced, 20 points, C
Attack 20, 100/100
[Phi Stick Secret Skill - Passive]: The attacks of the double stick goblins ignore [Defense]
[Dwarf's Law - Passive]: When a Dual-Stick Goblin is attacked by a target with higher attack power than itself, the damage is -10
The value of this card does not lie in how much damage it can do.
But it lies in two other aspects.
First, 20 points.
You can adjust the average score for the 40-point cards that come out later so that they don't exceed the score limit.
Second, reduce damage.
Normal card attributes can only be triggered and used after the card is revealed. Once it is revealed, it can prevent the two [Knight Chess] cards from stealing your output.
[The soul... is wandering...]
The pirate captain with a ghostly physique slowly walked out from the card light column.
Captain Doram
Chasing the Wind, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 200/200, 0/4
[Tough Soul - Passive]: When the captain of the Doram is the ace, he gains [Super Armor]
[Lonely Soul - Passive]: When the Captain of the Doram is the Ace, gain [True Damage]
[Sole Blade - 4 Energy]: Captain Doram attacks and deals (30) + 20 damage. If no other cards are on the field, gain 30 [Healing]
(【Battle Body】: Immune to all control)
(【True Damage】: cannot be offset or reduced by any defensive means)
Hunchback Sister: [Wow, the trump card of contestant No. 2 is also very powerful]
[Exclusive trump card, true damage + overlord, very violent]
[If you add the true damage of the Sword of Breaking Balance and the Twin-Staff Goblins, the cards on the side of the No. 1 King are actually quite difficult to resist.]
Director Feng: [It’s hard to say now…]
Sister Hunchback: [Indeed, after all, player No. 1 still has the upper hand at this point in time.]
Director Feng: [Let’s just watch from now on]
Director Feng no longer commented on this.
Because even though Xiang Qi has already revealed 7 cards, he still feels that this Xiang chess and card set is not simple.
Soon, the action phase arrived.
Like Qi's side.
[General] used [Military Order] to swap the positions of [Knight] and [Xiang] on the left.
This resulted in two [Knight] pieces being adjacent to each other, triggering the [Linked Horse] effect.
1 [Knight] attacks the [Defending] [Bandit], causing 20 points of damage.
1 [Knight] attacked the covered card behind [Blind Swordsman], causing 40 damage, which was offset by 20 points from [Shield].
The [Pawn] on the right attacks the [Defending] [Bandit], causing 15 points of damage.
[Xiangqi] attacks the [defending] [Heroic Bandit], causing 15 points of damage.
Director Feng: [It seems that the appearance of the Twin-Stick Goblin has made No. 1 Wang Defa choose to keep his feet on the ground.]
[He adopted a strategy of maximizing output and avoided the opponent's damage reduction cards]
Sister Hunchback: [But No. 2 Wang Defa is also very stable, and the foreign players almost all chose to defend]
Shi Li is here.
The [hero] carried out [defense].
[Blind Swordsman] performed [Defense].
[Leader Frog] released 20 points of [Shield] on the cover behind [Blind Swordsman].
[Captain Doram] attacks the covered card [Pawn] in the middle, causing 30 points of damage.
[Breaking Sword] attacks the covered card [Pawn] in the middle, causing 30 points of damage.
[Double Stick Goblin] attacks the covered card [Pawn] in the middle, dealing 20 points of damage and taking it away
[Sword Vibration Technique] is still in my hand, the time has not come yet.
After the 4th round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Heaven and Earth Plate】
190 points, 3 cards remaining 110 points
【Cover】【Handy Chess】2/5【Cover】
【Fold】【Fold】【Fold】
【Xiangqi】【Korraqi】【Korraqi】
【Empty Space】【Empty Space】【Pawn】
VS
[Vacant] [Vacant] [Blind Sword 45] 2/3
[Heroic Thief 50] [Break the Balance] 2/3 [Cover - 20]
【Leader】2/3【Double Sticks】【Cover】
【Cover】【Captain】1/4【Cover】
230 points, 2 cards remaining 70 points
[Sword Soul Hall] (15/15)
Sister Hunchback: [Ah, No. 2 Wang Defa’s cards seem to be a little better than before]
[Plus, the output cards are gradually starting to take effect]
[It gives people a feeling of preparing to catch up]
Director Feng: [There is no other way. The true damage is too strong, so No. 1 Wang Defa doesn’t have many choices.]
[Also, his first and second row cards are both balanced cards, which is too limited by the sword of balance]
Sister Hunchback: [I hope that the cards after No. 1 Wang Defa will not be balanced cards, otherwise he will really be caught up.]
Although he couldn't hear the comments from the commentary desk, Xiang Qi didn't really care at the moment.
At least for now, I still have the upper hand.
and……
"Humph, do you think you are the only one who has a true injury card?"
He just smiled slightly, and then revealed the card in the last row of his middle column.
【Boom! 】
As the card turned over, a cannon shot up into the sky.
A projection of a cannon with a round chessboard as its base rose up from the beam of light.
Like [Xiangqi] and [Shuaiqi], this is the only card in the Xiangqi set that has only one copy.
【Cannon Chess】
Break, 30 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100, 0/3
[Pawn - Passive]: The cannon pieces must be placed in a fixed position before they can be revealed.
[Wang Zuo - Passive]: Cannon attack power +10, but can only attack when there is a card of your own in front of it.
[Horseback Cannon - Passive]: When a cannon is placed behind a horse, the damage it causes is [True Damage].
[Piercing Cannon - 3 Energy]: The cannon attacks and deals (40) + 10 damage, with the [Piercing] effect.
(【Penetrate】: When attacking a target, cause equal damage to 1 adjacent target behind it)
