Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 17 Strategic Chess

The World Spine Mountains are so huge that you can understand its magnificence from the name of this mountain range. It is really like the back of the world that supports the sky.

This also means that it is not easy to find the bandits' hometown, hiding nearly a thousand people here.

Viola sent out the best scouts in the army and often communicated with the villages near the Leon Fortress. With the help of local hunters, she finally caught the bandits.

After walking for several hours in the drizzle, she ate dry food and rested behind a hidden hillside.

Viola looked at the mountains shrouded in mist with a monocular telescope. In terms of distance, they should be almost there.

The drizzle had a little effect on the accurate positioning, and Viola did not see the smoke rising from cooking.

At this time, the bushes on one side made a rustling sound, and the guard knight following Viola immediately drew his sword and became alert.

"Don't do it, don't do it, it's me!"

A figure wearing a dark green cloak and carrying a bow and arrow came out of the bushes, and quickly raised his hands when he saw this, and a bunch of restless purple hair mischievously stretched open the hood.

The guards put their swords back when they saw this, and Viola asked:

"Hill, how far are we from the bandit camp?"

"Not far, just nearby."

The scout named Hill smiled at the guards and deliberately rubbed his fingers.

Although this ranger named Hill was the best scout in Viola's army, he was indeed an out-and-out money-oriented person.

He took out a gold coin and threw it out, and Hill immediately cheered and grabbed it in his hand.

"Your Highness is still generous, I have made a lot of money recently following you."

Strictly speaking, they are not Viola's people, but hired. At least until the gold coins are used up, Hill and her team will remain loyal.

"So, where are the bandits?"

"Go over this hillside and follow the direction of the foothills. You'll see them in about half an hour."

Hill blew on the gold coin, put it next to his ear to listen to the sound, and then stuffed it into his waist bag with great satisfaction.

"But Princess, I have to remind you that the bandits should have discovered your traces. I noticed some commotion in the camp."

"Don't worry, it's expected."

Five hundred people don't sound like a lot, but it's definitely not the number to sneak into the village without being discovered.

If you want a surprise attack, you can only march at night, but for Viola and the soldiers who are not familiar with the terrain here, it's even more disadvantageous to move at night.

So Viola never thought about catching the bandits off guard, and she was just playing a head-on confrontation.

"Line up! Let's go and execute the king's will!"

The guards called the resting soldiers, and the soldiers who were originally resting quickly formed a square formation.

Hill shrugged when he heard Viola's order:

"Will the demon king provide help?"

"I don't know, but I know he must be watching us. If you are pious enough, the king will also watch you."

"Really? I still think gold coins are more practical."

Hill said this, but his eyes, which were covered by the hood, flashed a little...

--------

It was pouring outside the window, and fierce lightning flashed across the sky from time to time. The huge thunder roar made the windows tremble slightly.

It was exactly the same as what the weather forecast said, even the time of rain was accurate.

Li Chengxi checked the doors and windows to make sure that the rain would not blow in.

Although it was spring in early April in the game, it was summer in July in reality. According to the weather forecast, this rain would last for a day and a night, and even the flash flood alarm was issued on the mobile phone.

Li Chengxi was very glad that he went to the vegetable market as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, otherwise, with this amount of rain, he would definitely be drenched when he came back.

After checking the situation in the store, he simply closed the store and went back upstairs with his laptop.

Anyway, there was no business during the heavy rain, so he closed the store early.

The screen of the laptop showed Viola leading a large group of soldiers along the foothills.

"Finally, we are almost at the bandit camp..."

After zooming out the map, Li Chengxi could clearly see that there was a clickable gathering place option not far from the direction Viola and her team were heading.

The name column was very simple and crudely written as "Bandit Camp" and "Relationship: Hostile".

I don't know if it was because of the hostility that Li Chengxi couldn't see the resource list in the camp.

Speaking of which, Li Chengxi actually thought that the bandits who attacked Leon Fortress before were all dead, but he didn't expect that there were still a group hiding in the mountains.

As early as when Viola was counting troops to set off, Li Chengxi found the location of the bandit camp through the map function. He once thought of just reaching out and punching the camp, so that everyone would be more troublesome.

But when he saw the faith value, it was less than 100, and Li Chengxi immediately chose to watch the show wisely.

At this time, a large number of people ran out of the bandit camp and lined up at the entrance of the camp. It seemed that they were not going to passively defend, but to have a head-on confrontation with Viola's soldiers.

Li Chengxi poured hot water into the cup noodles, and after waiting for a few minutes, the two sides finally met in the foothills.

Moreover, the two sides did not rush forward when they met, but quickly adjusted their formation.

Viola put the shield soldiers in the front, the spearmen in the middle, the crossbowmen in the back, and the guards wandered around. At first glance, it was a very classic formation.

The bandits were not doing so well. They could only barely tell that those holding melee weapons were in the front and those holding crossbows were in the back. Many of them didn't even have shields, and the weapons in their hands were just simple wooden sticks.

Then, the two-headed Viola in the picture puffed up her cheeks and blew the horn, and the soldiers began to march forward in an orderly manner.

At this time, the bandits didn't even have a queue. Seeing the soldiers advancing, they rushed forward regardless of anything.

Viola's soldiers and the crossbowmen of the robbers also shot a row of arrows at this time, and everyone was planning to cover the first wave of firepower.

The bandits fell down in an instant, but they kept walking under the effect of adrenaline. Viola's soldiers raised their shields while maintaining their walking, and arrows burst everywhere for a while.

The skilled guards knights could even block arrows with their long swords and command soldiers nearby on how to act.

Of course, it sounds lively, but because they are all Q-version pixel-style two-headed Q-version shapes, it is difficult for people to feel any tragic atmosphere.

Li Chengxi tore open the lid of the instant noodles and stirred them with a plastic fork. He watched the battle as if it were a movie.

At this moment, the screen suddenly twisted, and then the map on the screen suddenly turned into squares. Soldiers and bandits stood on the squares in groups and took turns to act.

"Why did it suddenly change from real-time strategy to strategic chess?"
