Chapter 55 (1/2)

“It’s something I’ve done quite a bit.”

“Because you said it was good to like it”

William and Yan were facing each other across the board. It is on the board that both sides stare at. It was a game that imitated the battlefield in which some pieces were mixed up.

“It’s just an impression. It’s a result and it’s a success because I have nothing to say.”

“Well, I got a tough place.”

Two people who look on the board with a serious expression while making a talk.

The game played by the two is Shogi (Shatlanga), which is said to be the birthplace of Estard, and it is the warlords of Strauss, the birthplace of Garias, who has improved it and finished it into the present form. The movement of the piece is almost the same as that of the original shogi, but it differs greatly from the point of being able to like the placement in the player’s side and the ability to pull in the killed piece as a prisoner of war. After that, the number of pieces and the military department were different according to the size of the board, and it was finished in complex and deep play. For the size of the board is rarely used except orthodox-

“But, it is difficult to use hate ….

“…… king hand”

“Ah, I’m here, but it passes.”

Yan’s slim gag was penetrated, but the king protected by putting another piece on the wall. But the move is inside William’s thinking. Naturally the following hand is prepared.

“Well, it’s true that the tank (a piece that can move in the vertical and horizontal directions) is tied. This hand was not expected.

Yan brazes the stubble of the jaw. I thought that William had won. There is no way to beat this hand. With the next hand, you will get stuck with the second or third hand no matter how you prevent it.

“I’m thinking of attacking Vilnius in the spring.”

William’s sudden offer, Yan glances at William as he scrubs his beard.

“Hum, why can I ask why it’s Vilnius?”

“Because it is the strongest in the country bordering on the old Latorukia”

Yang’s eyes are thinly opened.

“Because you are strong, you can’t make sense with words alone”

“Are you missing words?”

Yan smiles.

“No, yes. You can attack from the strongest, no, it’s easy to attack. I think it’s OK.

Yan moves the piece quickly. Randomly, it was too easy to follow William’s point. It’s not an attack but a daunting attack. Thin but really thin line-

(…… Is it connected? This attack is)

William opens his eyes. This hand was outside the imagination.

“When the other countries are attacking, it is a small country, but they are fully protected against Arcadia. Therefore, we aim at Vilnius, which is the strongest and probably the most embarrassing. Yes, if there is oneself to get rid of

William had not seen Yan. I am operating my head with all my energy. Although it is play, a game is a game. The rules were known from the beginning. There are quite a few keep marks. There is a pride that I remembered to deepen exchanges with the nobles and worked quite a bit to ‘get out’. I did a military general in entertaining with some nobles this winter. Of course I did lose, but only entertaining. I have never met a serious opponent who can not win.

Until now–

“You have a tendency to underestimate the opponent a little. You have been pokeged there.”

What floats in the mind of William is the fight with Wolf. It’s absurd to say that I think that the man level exists, but it was still big to get rid of it at first. If that man was a regular army, they would not have won if they scratched them.

“… I can still do it”

William moved the piece. Attacker of distress. It moves to kill the other party to the end.

“This is also your weakness. At the end of the end, you move with emotions. You are more rational than you are, the truth is, you are dominated by emotions. Do you have a feeling?”

The king of yang is inevitable. However, I can not kill it now. I need to do it later. You can win it, you should be able to win.

“This game is interesting, I can see the various aspects of people. I like military generals, I use it to measure people well. Vilnius can be dropped by you now. There is not enough to make a giant star, either heat or cold, hey. ”

Yan wears a royal hand. There is a refuge. However, an inexplicable hand was beaten here in the middle. The piece that continued to stare at the point where it escaped is the hand that kills the King of William. This depth is an interesting part of the game and a scary part.

“… I will do my best”

“The honesty is good. You’ll be strong soon. The track is enough, the rest is just experience. So you won’t get stuck. Of course you don’t have to stop.”

Yan implicitly informed of the Vilnius capture. And at the same time it is a form of defeating William, albeit play.

“In this case, it would be nice if I could get cold and let go of the king. I would lower my hand. And at the cost of a lot, I will save the king. This play is like that.”

Overwhelming defeat. But as long as the king is alive, play does not end. If you lose, there is still the possibility that a win will come. If it dies, it is over there.

This game imitates a real war. You can not win the battle if the warlord is strong, but there are no people who are strong in the war and have weak warlords. It’s dwarfed, but it’s also a fine battle.

“The burial mound is strong. The experience score is different. But, the standing track is higher than you. The power is, too. Get overwhelmed. Make the marvel’s experience value get closer to a giant star.”

Yan drank dry tea already cold.

“There are a lot of people who are expecting you. Of course there are many enemies. Both of them think that there are twice as much of your imagination. If you expect me to be either way. Let’s put it on hold now, let’s do it, because you got a little scared of you through Shogi.

Yang’s smile did not collapse. That’s William’s limit now.

“This north will be a good experience. It’s interesting and frightening how you’re all growing up. You’ve got to work hard. Yeah, you’re not a bit of a senior officer now?”

William had a challenging smile. Even if it is a giant star, it is higher than one in Arcadia. The fact was heavy, but it was good to know now. It is better to aim at the greed upwards better than to be drowning in a boring selfishness.

At first let’s go beyond this man. William set Jan von Zekt to a close goal.

No one, including myself, imagined that this would explode William’s growth. Perhaps, only Yang could have understood it-

William thinks. Sit in one’s throne on your own, the tower of work, and on it. There were many things to think about. Thinking is salvation. While I’m lost in thought, the contents don’t get jumbled. Only thinking is filled in my head.

That was a good time.

“I have everything I need to go hunting. Northern forces, new weapons, and timing. Vilnius doesn’t know that I’ve been deployed north, so that’s why preparation should not be perfect. It’s easy to break down. But, if the old tomb was stronger than me, can it still be prepared?

It is painful to defeat the mind of William. Although the number is small, each one was clearly carved into the body. There is a pride in doing its best. But who can say that the enemy is not? It has never been better to be cautious. Of course it is a fall at the end of the day if you can not move cautiously.

“I have limited pieces that I can move. My Hundreds and Anselm’s Hundreds, I can move this because I treat Shurvia with Hundreds. There are a total of three hundred. The Northern people and some Arcadian soldiers, only five hundred. Would be a good place ”

Yan said he was free to move, but other centurions would not think so. It is necessary to create a situation that can not but move. It is nothing but victory. In the process of dropping Vilnius, you have to make sure that you can smoke delicious soup if you cooperate with this.

“I am overwhelmed at the beginning of the war, but then I hear that the opponent who is jealous is weak. It is overpowering, and it is necessary for the opponent to have some power to make an ally …. In other words, the old war in the beginning of the war Best to pull out and kill on it ”

According to my previous thinking, the first candidate was a tactic that attacked and smashed at once when the snow did not go away. Still, I was told that I could win, and there was an expectation that the old tomb battle was already old. However, thinking has changed a little because of losing to Yan. More probability, more flashy victory is needed.

“I still have some time. If I do, I have to do it thoroughly.”

William Liwyus-goes deep into the ocean of thought.

To find the best hand.

William had come to the place where the former Latorukia soldiers were training. It is the huge killing intent and a small fear to be bathed. By planting that little fear, their limbs are now tied up. There was a woman who stood out among them. William turned his foot there.

“Is it for something?”

Shurvia responding to short words. I went to the vicinity of Sluvia to protect the cover.

“Can I not come to see you if you don’t have it?”

Shurvia’s hatefulness was felt as William’s sociable smile.

“I’m training. I have learned to handle the weapons given to you. I have done everything I said. If I can’t find a way back, I hate you.”

“I’m not saying that I can’t use it, and I like the things you guys do.”

“……… You’re a fucking dude at the best.

Sluvia looks at William. William’s face can not be measured by hiding in the mask. That further annoys Sulvia.

“I want to bet on a bit. It’s up to you to ride. What are you going to give me the opportunity to kill me?”

Sluvia looked astonished. Others look at William in a strange way.

“Say the contents.

“Can you hear me. Thank you Shurvia”
