"What kind of battle will it be this time?"
Immediately after gathering in the open s.p.a.ce for the purpose of entering the battlefield for the Wednesday battle .
Ian"s first thoughts were .
"Can"t be more than the Mirror Battlefield… no, maybe they will be going to come out with a fresh content?"
The "dimensional mirror" battlefield was fresh enough to admire, even for Ian .
Having experienced such content, it was inevitable to be expecting something more from the battle .
And a roaring voice entered the head of Ian .
“Kay, have you all gathered?”
A man, standing on the platform of the open s.p.a.ce with a very heavy ba.s.s voice .
Ian thought that he might be a higher level NPC, than any NPC of the village that he had come across in the Warrior"s village .
"Parker was a Platoon head, is this one the captain?"
It wasn"t comparable to Cameres who was on the Hero"s Path, but the armor that he wore, was very very flashy .
And while Ian was in such thoughts .
“I am the Celestial Dragon General, Hansen . Among all of you, I will select the ones to join the battlefield . ”
Listening to Hansen, everyone turned puzzled .
Surely they were all under the impression that they would be entering the battlefield, but none of them expected the "select" part .
Even before they could even try to calm themselves, Hansen continued,
“Here, you and you . And you . This side . ”
While the users were in a frenzy, Hansen was selecting the warriors very quickly .
And Ian too was called, moving to the back of the platoon .
“Hmm, yeah . Till this friend, it is 24, right?”
At the response to Hansen, lieutenant Parker responded with a stiff look .
“Yes, General . ”
Hansen looked around and nodded his head .
“Nice, you move to the blue gate . The rest of you go to the white gate behind there . ”
Not just Ian, everyone couldn"t understand what was happening .
Something seemed to be going on, but no one was able to find an explanation for the situation .
The NPCs were too unfriendly .
"I think that there are around 50 people in the square… why did he just choose 24?"
Ian was thinking hard to guess .
And it was the same for Hoonie who was beside him .
“Hyung, what is even happening here?”
Advertis.e.m.e.nt “Well…”
“This, getting picked is a nice thing right?”
“I think the same . All of the selected users are of a higher rank than a combat soldier . ”
“Hyung, you"re a recruit but you have been chosen, why?”
“Hmm? Which is why we need to see . ”
Ian who was talking with Hoonie once again fell into thoughts .
Sixteen users were selected by the General of Celestial Dragons, except for Ian, every one of them were Combat soldiers .
In addition, a few combat soldiers weren"t picked up too, so he wasn"t able to understand the standards .
But there were no more things to deduce and no longer did he have the time to think .
“There, friend . What are you doing? Move quickly . ”
Lieutenant Parker shouted, and Ian had no choice but to move quickly .
“Ah, yup . Going . ”
Ian was one of the 24, whom Hansen had chosen .
Which was why he moved towards the blue gate .
And the moment Ian stepped on the blue gate .
Wheeing-!
With huge resonance, a new system message had emerged in front of Ian"s eyes .
[Welcome to the battlefield of "G.o.d"s Piece Board" . ]
The busy Korean university campus at 9 o"clock in the evening and most of the students had withdrawn .
However, there was just one crowded place and the large cla.s.sroom of the virtual reality .
The largest cla.s.sroom in the virtual reality department, which could accommodate more than two hundred people .
However, the cla.s.sroom was entirely full .
And the number of 200 students in there, were all the students of the virtual reality department .
And among them, Semi and Young-hoon were seated .
“Huuh, looking forward to it . Semi, you? Did well in the event?”
“Obviously . ”
“What was the answer?”
“Maybe the same answer as everyone in this room?”
“hu hu, that was a natural one, right?”
Unlike the usual lecture time, the two people were seated in the front row for some reason .
The expressions too weren"t the same as the lifeless depressing expression waiting for the lecture to attend .
Rather, were full of excitement .
And was the same of all the other students .
Then, why were so many students gathered in the cla.s.sroom?
The reason for that could be seen on the screen which lighted up the whole room .
– Kay, the doc.u.ments have just arrived from the LB .
– Oh, Hines, let"s open it up . I"m curious as to what kind of content the Kailan"s planning team have come up with this time .
– Haha, I feel the same way, Lucia . So, shall we look at the rules of the new battlefield together?
– Quickly do it . There isn"t much time before the game starts .
It was the first thing that came up on the cla.s.sroom screen was the game broadcast YTBC .
And the students in the virtual reality were all gathered in the huge room to watch the Brave Canyon"s battle .
– Oh ho, the name of the battlefield is "G.o.d"s Piece Board" .
– "G.o.d"s Piece Board"… what could that be?
– Well? The first thing that enters my mind listening to it, nothing other than a chessboard .
– Ho oh, yeah . Is this really related to chess?
– I"ll know once we open it up .
The crowd of 200 people and the noise-filled cla.s.sroom suddenly became silent as if everyone had died .
It was because they started to talk about the battle on the screen .
Due to the silence in the room, both Semi and Young-hoon were whispering,
“What? Chess? How will that even work?”
“Yeah . I can"t even imagine it . ”
And then came the conversation between Hines and Lucia .
– Kay, let"s look at the file sent by the LB for the viewers .
– Ah, this is so exciting . This isn"t even related to me, but why is my heart pounding like this?
– Huhu, isn"t that because you want the Korean rankers to be active?
And on the screen that Hines and Lucia were there, a new screen had appeared .
A huge peak that rose to one side of the Brave Canyon and a mysterious silverly clouds hanging around .
The screen which had been showing the mysterious landscape from afar, gradually enlarged, and Semi who looked at it, mumbled in a small whimpers .
“Oh, that really is a chessboard?”
Young-hoon too nodded and said,
“Ri, right? Seems like a chessboard… but is it a bit unusual?”
“No, look closely, it is a bit different from chess, it is a Shogi chessboard . ”
“What is?”
“the boards are much denser . ”
“That so?”
Huge rocks on top of peaks .
The top of the rocks was cut flat and smooth and with a familiar shape .
Like Semi and Young-hoon said that it was Shogi board" .
A mysterious sight that excited the viewers .
And subsequently, on the board, a silhouette began to appear, just like a "Shogi piece" .
Woong-!
At the same time, Hines explained,
“The name of the Brave Canyon"s battle is "G.o.d"s Piece Board" . And I will explain the rules of the board from now on . ”
After gulping, Hines began to read the doc.u.ments from LB which seemed very complicated .
It was something that would be very hard to understand by reading once or twice .
But one thing was definite, the content was going to be very interesting .
“Wah, this is awesome!”
Young-hoon unknowingly began to admire .
This was the brief summary of what Hines described .
1 . 24 of the best users will be selected by the Celestial camp and the Asmodian Camp .
(User selection criteria are "battle power" and "cla.s.s" and the combat power is measured on the user"s stat and equipped equipment . )
(The unselected users can gain 100 contributions if the camp of theirs win . )
2 . The selected users are moved to the battlefield from the blue gate and placed on the board according to the "G.o.d"s Choice" .
3 . The position of the board determines the position of the user, and the range of movements depend on the position .
*Position
-High General: Located in the middle of the back row, it can move up to five s.p.a.ces in turn .
If the High general dies, the battle is lost .
(An additional two s.p.a.ces can be moved if an enemy is killed, and can battle another time . )
-Advisor/ Minister (General): located at the right and left of the High general, can move up to three s.p.a.ces in turn .
When an enemy attacks, the stats are increased by 10 percent .
(When standing near the general, he can be supported . )
-a.s.sault Captain: located on either side of the row, and can move up to 10 s.p.a.ces in one turn .
Attacking an enemy increases the stats by 5% .
(If there are allies or enemies on the route, it can jump once . )
-Aide: located on both sides and can move up to five s.p.a.ces per turn .
Only one of all heroes who can use the recovery skill and heal up to 2 allies per turn .
Each time an ally is healed, the target is healed for 30% .
(Only a "priest" cla.s.s user can be selected . And cannot attack an enemy first, but when it is attacked, it can fight back . )
-Soldier/ p.a.w.n: placed at the front of each faction, and can move upto two s.p.a.ces in a turn .
4 . The celestial camp and the Asmodian camp will move alternatively, and the order comes in the order given by the system .
5 . When the pieces meet, the battle occurs, and a battlefield is created in the center of the board, and the battle between the two users begins .
The defeated user becomes a "dead piece" and is summoned outside the battle .
And during the battle, the vitality cannot be recovered except for the help of "aide" and even after the battle, the vitality doesn"t restore .
Ian who had heard everything from General Hansen, looked interested at the difficulty .
"Wah, what kind of a board game is this?"
From Ian"s point of view, the battlefield of the "G.o.d"s Piece Board" was a level of showing the power of the planning team .
Each turn was like a 1:1 tournament, but the rules and methods were long like a never-ending chess game .
Ian was able to roughly understand the situation and looked at the battlefield .
"The t.i.tles are so diverse . I wish I could be a general or an a.s.sault captain…"
Ian wanted to be in the center of the battle to have some kill point, calmed his heart and waited for the battle .
If the position was taken properly, then the game could move in a superior manner .
"Please, High General…!"
After a while, new system messages began to emerge infront of Ian .
[The positions of each camp users have been determined . ]
The users of the Celestial camp were called one after the other with the system messages .
[… user, your job t.i.tle has been set to "General" . ]
[… user, your job t.i.tle has been set to "Aide" . ]
[… user, your job…]
And at the end of the message .
["Ian" user, your job t.i.tle has been set to "Soldier" . ]
A line of messages had come to his sight and depressed the h.e.l.l out of Ian .
