Chapter 421: Searching for the Murderer

Now that the light cavalry dispatch crouching in the mountain was backed up by the crossbow strength, it was impossible to conquer them, unless a group of hoplites or mages or powerful bloodline warriors were mobilized on an individual attack.

“The hoplite and the mage troops move relatively slow…” After a moment of contemplation, Nanmen Xiangrong saw another beam of light flashing by the corner where two fights had taken place on the chess board.

They had come down the mountain! Nanmen Xiangrong wondered whether there was something wrong with his eyes. How could the supplies and gear dispatch take the initiative to fight back?

The light cavalry dispatch launched the counterattack automatically, whereas twenty supplies and gear soldiers kept running the mountain while turning back and releasing the crossbow. Just within a short time, several soldiers from the light cavalry dispatch were knocked onto the ground.

“They don’t afford to be chased after.” Nanmen Xiangrong waved his hand to pull back the flag, signifying the light cavalry to exit from the battlefield. However, another ten transportation soldiers came from the middle of the hill and starting shooting again from two sides.

Nanmen Xiangrong couldn’t stop feeling strong admiration toward this unknown commander. Where on earth did he come from? His commanding style could be deemed as a dauntless risky one which reflected his profound preference for attacking. Even if he was burdened by a certain size transportation soldiers, he released the order summoning them to forge ahead. Forge ahead!

The sign of attacking was so overwhelming that Nanmen Xiangrong could clearly feel it on the other side of the chess board.

To attack two hundred light cavalry soldiers with a group of forty provision soldiers? Nanmen Xiangrong forced a bitter smile and couldn’t believe that there was someone among these warrior students who bore a similar adventurous character as him but a greater desire for attacking than him.

At least when faced by two hundred light cavalry soldiers… Nanmen Xiangrong sighed, knowing that under such circumstances he would by no means summon his forces to attack. He’d rather choose to defend as a means to buy time while waiting for the rescue from allied troops or to surrender directly and seize the chances while feigning that surrender to launch a sneak attack.

This attack from the front…

Ding.

“You haven’t had enough?” For the first time in this chess play with the imaginary crowd of greenhorns did Nanmen Xiangrong voice his opinion, which, as heard by the entire class, was mingled with grievance and anger.

Had he been irritated? The students exchanged a rapid look at each other. Over the past days, it was them who were the aggrieved victims of this game, but today it became their instructor’s turn! Where on earth did this genius come from? Just stand up and let your bros have a look at you.

Yeah, that was not enough.

Soon here came the third round of attacks. What made the situation worse was that the weapons used in this attack were large-scale crossbows released from two sides at the light cavalry who were in a messy state because of the attempt to escape.

Only seventy-nine light cavalry soldiers of that group of one hundred came back. Counting the number, Nanmen Xiangrong uttered a sigh and made up his mind to quench this small dispatch today.

Nanmen Xiangrong controlled the Unkillable King Bloodline Warrior of the demons with heavenly bloodline awakening power, to reach the top of the mountain in just the blink of the eye.

At the sight of the purple-red small light spot, Qian Jin felt like commanding the soldiers who had just come back to the top of the mountain to attack this small spot with their crossbows. However, before he could do so, another ball of light came out from the mountaintop.

All of a sudden, the group of forty disappeared, so did the peak of the mountain.

This was the powerfulness of the Unkillable King Bloodline Demon Warrior with heavenly awakening power.

“There! Forbidden Spell! Mage dispatch, release the assault!”

Several warrior students screamed out of excitement. One of the mage teams that had long been dragged by the chariot conjured the forbidden spell immediately given their advantageous location of being closest to the mountain.

Specks of black light enveloped the chess board immediately. Due to the peripheral location of stationing on the verge of the taboo spell, no major damages were incurred to the Unkillable King Bloodline Demon Warrior. So they moved rapidly toward the opposite direction.

For the next moment, a ball of red light flashed out of the Demons’ camp. Then the dispatch on which the forbidden spell was used suffered intense damages.

Such was the fact with the mage team. In case they were discovered, they would be easily wiped out by the enemies.

With the disappearance of the warrior students, the Demons’ mage team who released an assault on the students’ mage team suffered a destructive attack from another mage dispatch on the warrior students’ side.

The chain reaction befell the mimic battlefield on the chess board. Due to the activation of Heavenly Bloodline Warriors by Qian Jin, the tranquil chess board had now changed into a highly tumultuous one.

Both sides weren’t soundly prepared for military formation or coordination before getting down to battling.

At the sight of the exquisite chess board, Qian Jin made a sigh, as there were too few forces on his side, otherwise, he would be able to continue the game for one day more. The power of the Heavenly Bloodline Warriors was really shocking. No wonder that each and every warrior deemed rising into a bloodline warrior as their ultimate goal in pursuing individual power. After reaching that level, you might decide the outcome of a war to some certain extent. How incredible that kind of power was!

“Such compelling bloodline power…” Qian Jin took back the futile chess pieces and shook incessantly at the sight of his increasingly rising points. “What is the meaning of the existence of ordinary warriors? If I could set the bloodline warriors of both sides into battling…”

“Haha, my light cavalry has killed one Unkillable King Bloodline Demon Warrior with heavenly bloodline awakening power.” Lena Zarf’s scream out of excitement rang over the entire classroom, attracting all other warrior students to cast a look full of appreciation.

Had the light cavalry beaten down the Unkillable King Bloodline Demon Warrior with heavenly bloodline awakening power? Qian Jin had a glance over the battlefield fast and found out the exact location instantly. Well, he had to accept that this Unkillable King Bloodline Demon Warrior with heavenly bloodline awakening power was really a jinx.

The Unkillable King Bloodline Demon Warrior with heavenly bloodline awakening power who had just injured an Ares Bloodline Warrior was also damaged severely. Just on the point that either side was too feeble to continue wrestling, a light cavalry came and finished off the Unkillable King Bloodline Demon Warrior.

“Hehe…” Qian Jin smiled. “Everybody has the potential for releasing a last-ditch effort. While sometimes the consumables of the war could decide the outcome of the game. The ordinary warriors couldn’t be eliminated from the major forces. Any side who ignores the ordinary warriors would be burying themselves in a grave.”

A deadly battle on the chess board started in a non-gunpowder state and ended the same way.

Due to the disappearance of forces, Qian Jin exited from the battlefield ahead of time and started looking over the others battling as an outsider. While watching, he couldn’t stop shaking his head and lamenting his luck.

Nanmen Xiangrong was more compelling than Qian Jin had expected. In the Qian Family’s memoir, Nanmen Xiangrong never led large troops in battle. He even hadn’t commanded a corps made up of more than ten thousand people.

“I used to think that…” Qian Jin uttered a long sigh. He used to think that as a veteran, Nanmen Xiangrong was only suitable for leading small troops like a group of one thousand people, but now it turned out that he also excelled at commanding large troops.

In fact, from the perspective of army forces invested, the aggregate forces of the warrior students was twice that of Nanmen Xiangrong’s. However, the victory didn’t go to the side with the advantageous scale of forces.

Nanmen Xiangrong annihilated all warrior students’ army forces at the cost of ten percent on his side.

Lena Zarf leaned across the chair and looked up at the ceiling board. This was their best score achieved for this war chess ever since the opening of this course, to have finished off ten percent forces of instructor Nanmen Xiangrong.

“I’m feeling exhausted…” Hoare Tee rested his head on the chair feebly and tilted towards Lenz Zarf. “I haven’t ever felt so tired before.”

“Sure it is.” Lenz Zarf made a light sigh. “Our instructor today wore much greater desire for attacking than before. I could sense his murderous intent from the chess board. Why did it happen? Why did the Unkillable King Bloodline Warrior with heavenly awakening power show up in that place? It was too early for exposure.”

Hoare Tee shrugged his shoulder with a blank look. “Everything just appears strange. Was it not for the early appearance of the Unkillable King Bloodline Warrior, the game wouldn’t have become such a mess.”

Hearing Hoare’s words, all other warrior students started to nod their heads incessantly. Indeed it was all thanks to the sudden commotion that they made such a great grade.

All warrior students in the class started to search for the very person who forced their instructor to take on such a weird combat mode.

“I lost…”

Looking over his forces which were depleted by ten percent, Nanmen Xiangrong couldn’t help convulsing his lips. How could he lose ten percent of his forces to these noobs?

Nanmen Xiangrong looked over the battlefield once again, paying special attention to the mountaintop where the Unkillable King Bloodline Warrior was killed off. It was the inception of the following adventure.

Was it not in a war chess game but a real battle…Nanmen Xiangrong felt a chill. If it was in a real fight, he wouldn’t be able to know which of his transportation dispatches disappeared, thus he couldn’t make the choice of sending a group of light cavalry.

Was it in a real fight, to mobilize the forty supplies and gear soldiers who hadn’t exited from the battlefield with the help of the procured materials and provisions though there… Nanmen Xiangrong’s face turned darker and darker. If he was the commander of this small group, with the help of the batch of materials and provisions procured, he was confident to have the enemies pay a bloody price without their awareness.

“Who is that?” Nanmen Xiangrong lifted his chin and glanced at all warrior students. “Who cast aside the four dispatches of transportation soldiers and pushed the rapid march into my camp? Who is the commander?”

Four dispatches of transportation soldiers? The students looked at each other with sheer surprise. How come?

Qian Jin raised his right arm and rose up slowly, “Dear instructor, it was me.”

Lenz Zarf suddenly straightened up his back and gazed at Qian Jin blankly with his serpent-like eyes. He couldn’t believe that it was Qian Jin who came up with the death-courting yet effective idea of mobilizing the logistics soldiers to march into the enemy’s forces at full speed.

A noob?

“It’s you?” A blank look flashed by Nanmen Xiangrong’s face. Then he slowly nodded his head. “Isn’t this your first time playing this chess game? Why did you take on such an approach? Don’t you know that it is a hotly contested place of strategic significance?”
