From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

The chess and card room where the pharaoh and the general are located is located about two-thirds of the height of the pyramid.

At this moment, the wind outside was blowing, blowing Solan's black hair back.Solan staggered in the wind, as if he could fall at any moment.

"This is Wang's Sainet chess."

Pharaoh's voice sounded behind Soran.

"If you want to share the authority of the king, you must accept the test of this game."

"Put all your power, and all the king's power, on the same chessboard, and the outcome will be determined in one game."

While speaking, the pharaoh came to Solan's side and stood still, with a straight figure, like an elegant statue, in stark contrast to Solan, who was full of astonishment and chattered his teeth up and down.

Erich thought to herself: No wonder Pharaoh kept reminding him to confirm that Soran would not go back on his word.

If he had known it was this kind of chess, Solan would never have played it.

She sighed secretly in her heart: Pharaoh really won on the information asymmetry.Solan didn't know anything about special items like the King's Chess, but Delos knew about it.

It can be said that at the moment the box of Senet chess was opened, Solan had already lost.

Or, when Pharaoh's words were irritating and induced Solan to agree to play this game of chess with him, Pharaoh was already winning.

Under the joint gaze of the pharaoh and the general, on the huge chessboard at the foot of the pyramid, a group of chess pieces composed of civilians have completed their first attack on the border army chess pieces.The soldiers in desert-colored clothes fell down one after another, were dragged out of the chessboard, and discarded aside.

Suo Lan suddenly realized something, pointed loudly at the lumps of chess pieces on the ground, and said, "This is impossible!"

The wind was so violent that it almost swept away what Solan had just said.

But Pharaoh still heard it, and asked indifferently: "What is impossible?"

"I am a strong and invincible frontier army—"

"How is it possible, how can it be impossible to defeat a group of peasants who built the mausoleum?"

Solan couldn't be more angry.

Pharaoh calmly responded to Solan's question: "You forgot, this is a game of chess—"

"They're just all the pieces on this chessboard."

"Whether it's a militia or an elite frontier army, what both of us can do is to put all our strengths on the chessboard. Whether they win or lose when they face each other is determined by the outcome on the chessboard."

"Even though your frontier army is powerful, if you make a mistake, no matter how elite they are, they will be defeated—"

"Soran..." Tilos reminded gently, "As a general, you have led troops to conquer the border for several years. It is impossible for you to understand this truth."

Solan was rendered speechless by the pharaoh's words. His eyes were full of regret. Looking at the soldiers of the frontier army who had been cleared from the chessboard, he seemed to think of the countless battles he had personally experienced——

Indeed, a mistake in decision-making in one move, in addition to paying a huge price in personnel, such a mistake is difficult to make up for with the strong force of an individual.

"On the king's chessboard, these forces are no longer individuals, they are just forces. All driving forces lie in how you push these pieces forward, how to attack and defend."

"What's more..." At this point, Pharaoh sighed in a low voice, "Every piece of mine has several times as many people as you. In a sense, this is evenly matched."

It was only then that Solan noticed that although the number of chess pieces at the foot of the pyramid was equal, the pharaoh's folk chess pieces were significantly more numerous than Solan's, and the earthy-brown chess pieces looked larger than the desert-colored chess pieces.

A servant who served on the construction site of the pharaoh's tomb.Although it is far from the elite of Solan's army, if they really win by crowding, they may indeed be evenly matched with the border army.

"The matter has come to this, all you and I can do is to finish this game of chess well and decide the outcome for the whole of Egypt."

Pharaoh's sigh obviously contained a bit of reluctance and regret.But he raised his eyebrows immediately, pulled himself together, and said to Solan: "Let's go, let us decide the fate of Egypt."

Neither Pharaoh Delos nor General Solan noticed Elyse floating on the surface of the pyramid—except in dreams, they couldn't see Elyse's spirit.

After listening to Pharaoh's words, Alixi lowered her head and chewed secretly: What did Pharaoh mean by saying that the matter has come to this point? It means that once this game of chess starts, it must be finished and cannot be stopped halfway?Stopping halfway will cause greater losses?

Looking down at the chess pieces gathered by a large group of living people, Alixi couldn't help feeling chills in her heart.

Indeed, looking down from such a height, everyone has become an ant-like dot, and their screams, howls, and cries have become so far away.

Chess players thus become indifferent.

Solan is better. After all, he and the border army used to get along day and night, supporting each other like brothers and sisters.

Standing on a high place and seeing his chess pieces being cleared from the chessboard, the muscles on Solan's face twitched, as if being stabbed by an opponent's sword.

On the other hand, in Delos, although the Pharaoh put all his power into the chess game, these chess pieces were just civilians who built a tomb for him, the Pharaoh.

In fact, the civilian workers who built the mausoleum suffered a large number of casualties every year, and fatigue and disease were the main reasons.However, the accidents that occurred during the construction process also resulted in the loss of many people.

However, for the pharaoh, the loss of these personnel has always been just a number on paper.

Therefore, in the face of this real contest of Senet chess game, Erich believes that Pharaoh naturally has the psychological advantage.

Because he was able to put aside his nostalgia for chess pieces, play chess purely from a tactical point of view, and dare to abandon chess pieces at critical moments.

Of course, out of deep affection for his subordinates, Solan will definitely go all out, maybe he can highlight a unique move, or maybe.

But Erich didn't care about the ongoing board game between the pharaoh and the general, nor did she log out of the Eye of Horus.

At this moment, she suddenly made an extremely risky move.If Biola or Senmut saw her like this at this moment, they would be shocked and exclaimed——

Ailixi's spirit body directly jumped out of the huge stone surface of the magnificent pyramid, and flew down along the slope of the tower body.

Her spirit body is far lighter than her body, and she moves freely like a bird in the unobstructed mid-air.

Alicia quickly swooped down near the base of the pyramid, and then began to concentrate on adjusting the shape of her spirit body. The extremely slight wind resistance made her spirit body slow down quickly and landed steadily on the ground.

On the vast plain in front of the pyramid, there was a dead silence, and the shouts, fighting, and the pain of the wounded...all could not be heard.

At the moment of landing, Alicia could only hear the whistling wind in her ears, the shrill cry of vultures as they passed over the top of the pyramid, and her own heartbeat.

Alice raised her head, and she couldn't see the whole picture of the grand chessboard, nor could she see the chess pieces gathered together.

She could only see a dense crowd—they were all the same Egyptians, divided into Solan's frontier army and Tilos' militia according to their uniforms.

In Erich's view, there is no difference between these people——

Each of them had a numb expression and stood stiffly in place.

The soldiers and civilians who are chess pieces are like silent sculptures at this moment, without any independent consciousness and life, no one whispers, no one asks questions, and no one has any ability to question their own future.

They are chess pieces, flesh and blood machines created by power.

The silence lasted only a moment.

Suddenly, a scream sounded in Alicia's ears, and she felt a severe headache for an instant, and then disappeared immediately.

This feeling was as if her brain waves were interrupted for a moment, and then recovered immediately.

Then the dust rose, and the chess pieces around her began to move.

Erich immediately understood—the pharaoh and the general on the pyramid finally started their game again.

After the border army moved, it was attacked by the militia again.

This time Erich witnessed the battle between the two sides on the ground - this battle is no different from traditional warfare, people hold weapons: the frontier army is a knife, a sword or a spear.In the hands of the peasants are big sticks, hammers, and stone chisels that have carved out thousands of huge boulders.

The battlefield was no longer quiet, people opened their mouths, shouted with all their strength, rushed towards their enemies in front of them, and attacked as much as possible at the moment they met.

The loser was still Solan's frontier army.

Witnessing all this, Erich finally understood what Pharaoh said - there is no such thing as an individual on this battlefield.

No matter how brave and skilled soldiers are, when they are used as pawns, they are completely unable to fight against ordinary civilians who are advancing head-on.

The swords in their hands could not hit their opponents. On the contrary, those big sticks, hammers and chisels hit their heads, chests, and vitals...

The bodies in desert-colored robes fell to the ground one after another.

The sound of swords chopping and howling gradually stopped.

When a large area of ​​the border army fell down, those militiamen with numb and cold expressions finally stopped the big sticks, hammers and chisels in their hands, and began to clean up the remains of the border army from the chessboard.

Erich watched those frontier soldiers being lifted out of the chessboard one by one and placed neatly on the ground.

Their bodies are densely arranged together, still forming a huge figure that looks like a chess piece.

The surroundings returned to a brief silence——

Not long after, another chess piece began to move again on this grand chessboard.

In the next turn, it was the Pharaoh's militia who were attacked and lost.

This time, Erich saw the frontier soldiers with stern faces, lifting out the militiamen who were lying on the ground one by one, and piled them aside to form new sacrifice pieces.

These soldiers would pass by their comrades—those who lay flat on the ground motionless, as if they had long since lost their lives.Erich observed carefully, but no one was touched.

There was only dullness and calmness on their faces, as if they had already accepted their fate——

They were born as soldiers and civilians, and from the moment they were born, they were far from the fate of kings and dignitaries.

Alicia took a deep breath, and began to look at the chess pieces lying on the ground.

Did all these people lose their lives in the process of attacking each other?

But surprisingly, no obvious wounds could be found on their bodies, and none of them died of trauma.

Even if Elyse had the ability to start applying healing spells like stitching, it wouldn't help them.

Looking at their faces again, Alicia only thought of two words - evil curse.

Whether it is the fallen frontier army or civilians, they all seem to be mummified in an instant——

They were all wide-eyed, as if preserving their last moments of consciousness.But they all had sunken cheeks and seemed to have lost most of their body moisture.

The Senet Chess that belonged to the pharaoh actually had such a curse-like effect, turning the sacrificed chess pieces into a state close to mummies.

This reminded Erich of something that both the talisman Ymir and the envoy of Anubis had reminded her - a long time ago, power was power, and there was no distinction between good and evil.

The Pharaoh's Senet Chess may be a special item left over from that time.

Witnessing this scene, witnessing a good life being manipulated and used...

In the end, it became a large piece of mummies lying on the ground, like reeds or papyrus that were harvested in an instant.

Erich couldn't help but want to pull Tylos and Soran out of the lofty chess room, forcing them to look in front of them:

Are you really ruthless?

Occasionally she imagined herself to be the sovereign of the country—her kingdom must be built entirely on the people of this country.There are people who will have a country.

In the matter of life, she is probably more stingy than the most stingy miser, and she doesn't want to lose any vitality.

Therefore, the so-called duel between the pharaoh and the general in this way is extremely intolerable.

With the mentality of being able to save one, she leaned down to check the status of every mummy nearby, and soon found that they still had a little bit of vitality, and none of them were completely deprived of their lives, but they were not bad. Far.

Alicia didn't know whether they would be completely deprived of their lives when the whole chess game was completely over.But she guessed it was a possibility.

Just as she scanned the chess pieces in front of her with the eyes of her spirit body, she suddenly noticed a gaze——

It was a young man in civilian uniform, with bronze skin and a rectangular face. His appearance was quite plain, and his hair was probably shaved into a short-cut hairstyle for ease of work.

He has a pair of dark brown eyes, which at the moment are protruding due to the influence of the Senet chess, and look particularly painful.

He seemed to be the only chess piece that still had his own consciousness, and it was only at this moment that he could meet Erich's eyes.

Of course, being able to look into the eyes of Erich's spirit body itself means that it is unique. In this world, only Viola and Senmut can do it at present-maybe a Hittite prince Carl can be added. Xia, but he has to rely on the character gate.

Therefore, when Ailixi touched this gaze, she was also taken aback.

Seeing Erich's eyes, the young man's eyes lit up immediately, as if he saw hope.

He seemed to want to exert himself, to speak, to ask for help...

But he couldn't do it.

And she watched helplessly as the light in his eyes disappeared bit by bit.Hope in the eyes of young people was replaced by pain.

Eventually even this pain disappears completely, and everything returns to eternal peace.The young man's dark brown eyes had become like a pair of beautiful, lustrous amber, but had lost all soul in them.

Erich witnessed a life dissipate.

She turned around suddenly, and the spirit body quickly crossed the huge chessboard and approached the base of the pyramid.

After she arrived at the base of the tower, she wanted to go back along the same road, but found that her spirit body dived down very quickly, and it really took a little effort to climb the pyramid.

With an idea, Alicia decisively logged out from the Eye of Horus, greeted Nanna by the way, and logged in again.

In the next second, her face appeared in the pharaoh's chess room again.
