Chapter 706 Soldier Promotion
The night wind blows over the icy chessboard and the cheeks of the chess players on both sides of the board.

The world seems to be silent at this moment, only the twisted lines of the sky are still calmly undulating.

This silence is very short, but also seems very long, like the wind in a silent night, sudden and long.

Valente stared at the chessboard in front of him, at the black rook, and at the 'opponent' in front of him.

In the end, he didn't move the pieces on the chessboard, and he didn't respond to He Ao's 'general'. He just raised his head, glanced at the twisted lines in the sky, and asked softly,
"I'm a little curious, where were you hiding just now?"

There are three altars, one is in the west city, one is in the city center, and one is in the south of the south city, and all three altars are real altars, all of which can hold ceremonies. When holding ceremonies, just choose one of them.

Before the ceremony started, Valente made complete arrangements for the ceremony on the three altars, but only he himself knew the altar that was actually chosen for the ceremony.

And those who try to sabotage the ceremony, as long as they make a mistake in judgment and go to the wrong altar, it is basically impossible to rush to the altar where the ceremony is actually held before the ceremony is completed.

This itself is the suspicious array designed by Valente.

On the other hand, He Ao's cracking method is very simple. I am afraid that he has been very close to the three altars, and then arranges two teams to explore two of the three altars, so that he can quickly determine which one is the real one. altar.

Once confirmed, you can rush to the real altar in the fastest time.

The best place to hide is actually the area at the same distance from the three points, that is, the center of the circumscribed circle of the triangle formed by these three points.

The problem is that Valente had anticipated this situation, so he actually arranged manpower in the best position and along the route.

If He Ao had been hiding in the best position, someone should have come to report it long ago, but the final result was that he had not received the notification.

Either all the people in the ambush were killed, or...
Thinking of this, Villent paused for a moment, then continued to smile, "You are not at the same distance from the three altars? Why don't you choose the best position? Even if it is near there, you can move faster. Come here and stop me faster."

"If I choose the best location, you are not in this Central Park, but in the Servant of Evolution or the Pollution Cleanup Department. People who go to explore meet you, what will happen?"

"will die."

Valente smiled calmly.

Equally close actually means equally far away. Neither Sienji nor Skett has the power to resist B-level.

Being in the best position, although He Ao can reach the central park faster, it also makes him lose the ability to rescue.

So the position he had been in before was actually closer to the Pollution Cleanup Department. After all, the Pollution Cleanup Department had the strongest defense, and Jia Qian was there, followed by the headquarters of Evolution, and the Central Park was the farthest place from him.

With the help of the "Shadow Fang" left by the Shadow Dog, he can pass through the shadows and have a stronger movement speed.

Therefore, both Jia Qian and Si Enji are within the range of He Ao's support. Once they are in danger, He Ao can appear in time.

He also made specific and detailed arrangements for different specific situations.

And because of the speed bonus, after verifying that those two places are not real altars, he can also rush to Central Park in time.

Of course, the reason why he made such a choice was also related to his prediction of the arrangement that Valente might leave behind.

Valente predicted that he might appear in the center position, and he predicted Valente's prediction.

"Smart and effective arrangement,"

And after He Ao asked that question, Valente had actually figured out He Ao's operation, he smiled, "You really won this step, you guessed my operation correctly, but I failed You guessed it right."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "It seems that this is the reason why you must 'die'."

Originally, He Ao was in the light, and Valente was in the dark.

All the actions of Ho Ao are under the watchful eyes of Valente.

Especially after He Ao desperately killed Dries, he could almost predict that he would become the person that Valente paid the most attention to.

Standing under such a bright spotlight, no matter what he did, he would be spotted by Valente and targeted.

But after He Ao's "fake death", the relationship between light and dark has changed, and it becomes that Villent is in the light, and He Ao is in the dark.

In this case, when Valente made the layout, he would not particularly consider He Ao's situation.

Just like Valente's 'ambush' at the best position between the three altars this time, when he set up this ambush, he didn't aim at a definite target, in fact it was a random 'dark chess' according to his own logic '.

However, He Ao, who was in the dark, could clearly consider this dark move, and then avoid it, catching Valente by surprise.

"I have to say," Valente stared at the chessboard in front of him, "Your trick of feigning death is indeed a wonderful move, a wonderful move to turn death into life."

He raised his head and looked at He Ao, "So this move, did you suddenly have a flash of inspiration during the battle with Dries, or was it premeditated?"

"What do you think?"

And Ho just looked at him with a smile.

In fact, the matter of "fake death" should be viewed from the two perspectives of life and death.

From the point of view of life, what would happen if He Ao was 'undead' in the battle of Driss?
Judging from Velente's step-by-step approach, if the 'Sito' who can kill Driss does not 'die', Velente will not feel at ease, nor will he start the ceremony with confidence.

So he will definitely find ways to kill 'Sito'.

And if Velente didn't start the ceremony and set his target on 'Sitto', he wouldn't do anything to Croat and Dan, and would even win them over. After all, as long as he doesn't engage in the evil god ceremony, these two are very Willing to cooperate with Kaijiete Group.

Then He Ao will face the siege of the three B-levels in the city and the super consortium Kaijiete Group that controls the entire city.

Even if he escaped from such a siege, there is a high probability that Villent will use the power of the Kaijiete Group to find a way to invite the strong from other places.

Then the difficulty of this dungeon mission will increase infinitely.

And the incident will also implicate the people around He Ao, whether it's Isia, Jia Qian, or even Si Enji, as long as Villent wants to investigate, their identities will be dug out, and then they will be used as countermeasures against He Ao. means.

Even He Ao couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't die under such pressure.

Therefore, in terms of emotion and reason, 'Xituo' must die with Driss'.

As long as Sito exists, there will be no conflict between the forces of Villent and Mayor Crott, and Villent will mix all the forces together to deal with Xito.

And if Sito 'dies'.

In the absence of external enemies, the sharp contradictions that have always existed within the Valente group will erupt.

Valente wanted to hold the ceremony, but all the power came from Crote of St. Jon City, so he would definitely not accept it.

Although Crott is bad, he is not considered a dish. He has his own means and ideas.

As long as Velente doesn't lift the table and is still within the rules, he can't completely solve Clotte's obstacles.

In fact, in a sense, Crott is also one of the "inheritances" left by the former mayor Snava.

Because of Snava's strength, the Kaijet Group can only deal with Snava by finding a strong and capable ally, not a puppet.

And this ally will naturally become a big deal after dealing with Snava.

In fact, as early as when he learned about the whole process of Sinava's success or failure from Si Enji, He Ao realized that the mayor was not easy.

It is also difficult for a person like Crott to betray his original ally and gain the trust of the Kaijiete Group. In theory, he can be the mayor for one term at most, and then he will be taken down and paid to The house is supported, but it will not give power.

But Crott was re-elected successfully and served as mayor for eight years, but he was not replaced by Kejet's puppet.

This situation may be barely reasonable in other cities. After all, for the consortium, even if the mayor has a strong desire for power, as long as they can cooperate well to make money, they can still bear it.

But for Villent, who had contact with Winding Hill and was preparing for the sacrificial ceremony, the existence of such a capable and ambitious mayor was his stumbling block, and he must replace him.

Just like in Rock City, Ilia Ann, who was preparing for the death sacrifice ceremony, directly manipulated the puppet to run for office and became the mayor herself.

Therefore, the fact that Crott can be re-elected as mayor is inherently abnormal.

This means that Crott has other allies in this city, and there are not many people in this city who can stand against the Kejet Group.

And this ally can also make the B-level Valente feel vigilant, and dare not easily replace the mayor, so there is only one candidate,

City Defense Officer Dan.

Although this B-level city defense officer is also cooperating with the Kaijiete Group, the private ally relationship between him and Crott may be stronger. They guarantee each other's status and the smooth making of money.

It can actually be seen from the program that interviewed Crott and Valente that was played before.

Although Crote has been following Valente's words, he has always had his own dominance, and he is not completely a running dog of the Kaijiete Group.

So He Ao is actually very aware of the contradictions within the Valente group, before he went to the 'banquet' of Driss, he was very clear.

He even learned about Clotte's general character in detail from Si Enji, who had a half-master-student relationship with Clotte.

"Over the years, you are one of the best chess players I have ever met."

Valente naturally understood the meaning of He Ao's words. In fact, he had guessed this before, but he couldn't believe it.

Howard stared at Valente.

In fact, he was able to "fake death" so smoothly, but it was because Dries was too strong.

In the battle that night, if he hadn't had 'Yi Si', a little bit of pollution resistance, and was able to find weaknesses through his spiritual sense, he might really have died there.

But even so, he was almost really close to death at that time, and his injuries were all real.

And Valente knows how powerful Dries is.

Judging from the strength shown in the battle, Driss can completely fight two B-ranks by himself.

If Driss survived, even if the mercenaries of the Norlanca Group entered the city tonight, Fez would also come here, and even if there was another B-level, it would not be able to stop Valente's plan.

It is also because Driss is so strong beyond imagination, so it is easy to accept that 'Xituo' and Driss will perish together.

Even if it is a "chess player" like Valente, it is difficult for him to go beyond his own cognition, imagine a "Sito" who came out of nowhere, and kill the famous Derry without paying any price. This matter comes.

This is beyond perception.

Therefore, it is in line with everyone's expectations that Xito and Driss died together.

After all, Driss's body cannot be faked. It is impossible for 'Sito' to kill Driss without injury. Even if he used a trick, he must have been seriously injured or even died.

Although the fact is that He Ao was seriously injured and dying.

He Ao just needs to take advantage of this situation, push the facts forward a little bit, and make the appearance of 'both die together'.

In fact, he didn't let anyone proclaim 'Sito is dead' throughout the whole process, but just let Ishia make an arrangement to escape with Jia Qian.

And this incident fell into the eyes of those who are interested, and it was natural to deduce the "line of events" that "Sito and Driss died together, and Isia lost the help of the strong and had to escape."

Of course, Valente may not fully believe that He Ao is dead, but from the signals He Ao sent out, he will also think that He Ao is seriously injured and weak even if he does not die.

This in itself was what he expected.

It is never the lies themselves that can deceive intelligent people, but their 'own judgment'.

And with He Ao's suspended animation, he withdrew from the main stage.

The repressed conflict between Valente and Clotte also broke out completely.

After Valente lost his obvious enemy and decided to hold a ceremony, Clotte, who was in the way, was useless, and he would definitely flip the table.

He Ao thought that Valente would turn the table, so he asked Si Enji to contact Crote in advance, but Valente killed Crote directly and decisively, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Although Clotte was not stupid, he also guessed the possibility of Villente's flipping the table through Si Enji's reminder, made preparations in advance, and gave the key card to his confidant.

However, he probably didn't expect that Valente would directly kill him, so he kept procrastinating to see if he could get more benefits.

Although Crott was smart and keenly aware of the changing situation, his greed ultimately determined his fate.

Although Valente is careful in doing things, he will never be soft when it is time to be ruthless.

Once Croat died, Dahn could not live.

This internal conflict ended with the complete victory of Valente, who took complete control of the city of San Jon.

And the B-level He Ao had to face changed from three to two.

This is also the reason why Valente marveled at He Ao's move as a 'wonderful move'.

Of course, with Valente's character, what he said now is actually a bit much.

He Ao stared at the old man in front of him, and said calmly, "If you are waiting for Bran to come to help, then you don't have to wait, he won't come."

Hearing this sentence, Valente was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "Is it the Nolanka Group? They actually chose to break through from the west gate? Their target was actually Bran from the beginning? If they want to launch a 'surprise attack' , there are not too many troops, and there is no way to break through the city gate, it seems that Crott gave you the authority key?"

Speaking of this, he finally took a deep breath, and his eyes fell back to the black rook on the chessboard, "You used a few insignificant pawns to revitalize the entire chess game, and a person like you shouldn't be an unknown person." .”

"yes,"

He Ao calmly glanced at the city in the night, "Soldiers can also become queens when they go to the bottom line, can't they?"

Pawn promotion is a special rule in chess. When one's own pawn reaches the opponent's bottom line, it can be upgraded to any kind of chess piece except pawn and king, including the strongest queen.

Quiet silence once again shrouded the cold space, only the rustling of leaves remained.
