Chapter 701 Chessboard Army

The young soldier knew in his heart that since Jiang Xiao had spoken, he would surely be given an important position if he went to the Star Frontier Army. However, the soldier didn't want to go; he liked the Night Watch Army and couldn't bear to leave his old comrades-in-arms.

Handing over the paper was just a mission, and not a difficult one at that; he just had to stand guard here.

Jiang Xiao understood this. Not everyone was focused on a career in the military.

The young soldier returned to his unit, while Jiang Xiao, wearing his mecha suit, stood in the ruins, silently standing for a long time, until dawn, before returning to the Imperial Capital - Star Frontier Compound.

Jiang Xiao wasn't in a good mood that night. Saying goodbye to another older version of himself was a strange feeling.

When Jiang Xiao returned to his residence, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Because Jiang Xiao had returned with three mecha suits, and the mechas had extremely strong senses, they immediately felt that something was wrong in Han Jiangxue's room!

There was indeed someone lying on her bed, but it wasn't Han Jiangxue, but the short-haired... Xia Yan!?

Jiang Xiao looked at his watch, 4:30 in the morning!

Where did Little Jiangxue go? Why wasn't she sleeping at home?

Jiang Xiao's office rest area could be considered a two-bedroom apartment, and Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue each had a room, so she moved from the soldier's dormitory to live here.

She's not here? What's going on?

Jiang Xiao immediately entered Han Jiangxue's room, and Xia Yan opened her sleepy eyes.

She rubbed her eyes and said, "What's up, Little Pi... a mission?"

She was obviously still half asleep. Normally, she would call him "Jiang Xiao," not his nickname.

Jiang Xiao: "Where's Han Jiangxue? Why are you sleeping in her bed?"

Xia Yan rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Yesterday, didn't you modify Gu Shi'an's body? Xuexue called me over to watch over you.

Who knew that you, ungrateful wretch, woke up in the middle of the night, sat on the bed for a long time, and then you teleported away...

I was thinking of cuddling with Xuexue to sleep, but she said she couldn't sleep, so she took the Black Mist Doll to the Hail Ridge Shelter to play."

Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No mission, you go back to sleep."

"Oh." Xia Yan turned over, lying on her side, one long leg kicking the quilt off, and mumbled, "So annoying..."

Jiang Xiao really wanted to summon Little Candle Fire and smack her on the forehead with a Diamond · Icy Blast!

Listening to Xia Yan's breathing, Jiang Xiao helplessly looked around, gently sat on the sofa next to the bed, and played with his phone. Around five o'clock, a portal suddenly opened in the room.

Jiang Xiao quickly teleported over and saw Han Jiangxue wearing a white nightgown, holding the Black Mist Doll, walking out of the portal.

"Ah!" Han Jiangxue exclaimed softly, just as she stepped out of the door and saw someone standing in front of her.

No matter how strong her perception was, it was impossible to perceive the outside world across the dimensions of the portal, so Jiang Xiao's appearance startled her.

"Can't you two let me sleep aaaaaah!!!" Xia Yan was going crazy, kicking her legs irritably.

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly, looked at the quilt she had kicked off the bed, walked over, picked up the quilt, and covered Xia Yan again.

Xia Yan: "......"

Jiang Xiao whispered, "Where did you go?"

Han Jiangxue turned around, smiling and pinching the Black Mist Doll's soft, cloud-like scarf, and said, "Want to know?"

Oh ho?

There's an unexpected gain?

Wasn't it just taking the child to the island to play?

Building sandcastles, playing in the water? What else could be so strange?

The Black Mist Doll's ruby-like eyes narrowed into a slit, looking especially comfortable, like a cat or dog being scratched under the chin by its owner.

Han Jiangxue liked to rub its ice cream-like hair and pinch its cloud-shaped scarf, so the Big Head Doll was always in a solid state, carefully trying to please Han Jiangxue.

Obviously, the Black Mist Doll got what it wanted while pleasing its master.

So, the feeling of being petted by its master was so wonderful~

"Come, I'll take you to see." Han Jiangxue said, opening the door to the Hail Ridge Shelter again, and walked in with the Big Head Doll.

Jiang Xiao also followed curiously, and came from the slightly hot Imperial Capital to the breezy, refreshing beach.

Han Jiangxue's Hail Ridge Shelter was Diamond level, and it was no longer that small 10 * 10 * 10 space. This small island, including the sand and seawater, could be touched, but you could only play in the shallow sea. If you swam out further, you would hit an air wall.

As soon as they arrived, Jiang Xiao heard a shout behind him.

He hurriedly turned his head and was startled!

Jiang Xiao took a step back subconsciously, only to see a dense group of "toy soldiers" standing on the island not far away!

At this time, on a 2*2 black and white checkered chessboard, two toy soldiers, one black and one white, were fighting bravely! The scene was extremely fiery!

Don't think that four squares are small. In fact, the length and width of one square is 10 meters...

And the toy soldiers are only about 3.5 meters tall.

"What is this..." Jiang Xiao looked at the distant arena in amazement, and looked at Han Jiangxue with a puzzled expression. Was she just finding her own fun?

Han Jiangxue hugged the Black Mist Doll and walked forward with Jiang Xiao, saying, "You know, my Black and White Block Star Technique can nurture chessboard creatures.

Since we persuaded the King and Queen in the Alien Ball Eastern Europe to bring their troops into your Calamity Shadow World, I have been thinking about a question."

Jiang Xiao: "Mm?"

Han Jiangxue: "Can I have a chessboard army?"

Jiang Xiao blinked and looked at Han Jiangxue, saying, "You mean... they are all your subordinates?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Han Jiangxue's mouth, but she didn't respond.

But as the two approached, the chessboard army responded.

"&%$#!!!" With a shout, the two toy soldiers in battle stopped. They all faced Han Jiangxue, put down the stone halberds in their hands, and knelt on one knee.

This seemed to be a way of paying tribute. They knelt on one knee, lowered their heads, and clenched a fist against their hearts.

A full 12 toy soldiers, black or white, all made this gesture, but some didn't.

For example, the Chariot, and the Knight.

The Chariot was named "Chariot," but it was a mobile fortress. It was just a matter of translating international chess.

And the Knight was not a warrior riding a horse, but a pure horse head, with a circular base under its long horse neck.

The other terrain was not clear, but on this flat black and white chessboard, the Knight's movement speed was extremely fast!

The fortress and the horse head obviously couldn't kneel down.

Of course, there was also one person who could kneel but didn't. Instead, he came to Han Jiangxue, bowed his head, and also clenched a fist, pressing it against his heart.

The Bishop!

The Bishop was huge, about four meters tall, and the long cross staff in his hand was more than ten meters long.

He was also the only medical creature among the chessboard creatures, with the two Star Techniques of healing and purification.

Obviously, there was a very strict hierarchy among the chessboard creatures.

As long as the Bishop existed, except for the King and Queen, the Bishop could command the other chessboard armies, whether black or white.

Han Jiangxue waved her hand. There was no language to communicate between the two species, but the Bishop seemed to understand Han Jiangxue's meaning. He stood up, picked up the staff, and left. As he said a strange word, the soldiers on the chessboard fought again.

Han Jiangxue said, "He is very smart and very loyal."

Jiang Xiao: "Ah?"

Han Jiangxue: "I summoned one black and white block after another. Black and white queens were once nurtured in them, and black and white kings were also nurtured, but it was difficult for me to communicate with them.

The King and Queen are natural rulers. Perhaps in their biological characteristics, there is no concept of 'subordination.' Every time I met with the King and Queen, the results were not good.

After all, you had persuaded the King and Queen to bring the army into your Calamity Shadow World. I thought they were easier to talk to, but after the experiment, I realized I was wrong.

The King and Queen were very arrogant and disdainful of cooperation, so I killed them."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Han Jiangxue sighed softly and said, "Maybe the King and Queen on the Alien Ball chessboard were defeated by you, so they had to surrender and enter your Calamity Shadow World. More importantly, even if they led the army into it, they are still the rulers there."

Jiang Xiao said, "Do you know how dangerous this is? The King and Queen are Star Cluster-level creatures! If you want to do experiments, why didn't you call me?"

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao and said softly, "Do you know how dangerous I am?"

Jiang Xiao: "Uh..."

Han Jiangxue turned her head and looked at the lively chessboard arena again, saying, "Similarly, when the Chariot, Knight, and Guards came out of the black and white blocks, they were also unwilling to cooperate with me.

They would even directly attack non-chessboard creatures like me, until..."

Han Jiangxue's eyes turned and looked at the Obsidian-like Bishop, saying, "Until his arrival."

Jiang Xiao: "What do you mean?"

Han Jiangxue pursed her lips and said, "The Bishop didn't attack me at first sight. He looked at the black square he crawled out of, and then looked at the only creature in this Hail Ridge Shelter - me.

After a few seconds, the Bishop understood that he was nurtured by me."

The corners of Jiang Xiao's mouth twitched awkwardly.

Nurtured?

Can't you change the word? Isn't summoning okay?

Han Jiangxue: "I summoned dozens of black and white blocks in front of him, and a Guards was nurtured among them, which made the Bishop more sure of his guess, and then he made the gesture just now."

Jiang Xiao: "Lower his head, bow, salute?"

"Mm." Han Jiangxue nodded lightly and said, "He... may have regarded me as his Queen, a special Queen."

Jiang Xiao grinned and said, "You have black and white blocks, and you also have a Broken King Ring, which is no different from the black and white queen. What's more, you are better looking than them."

Hearing this, Han Jiangxue glared at Jiang Xiao: "Sweet talker."

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "I'm serious."

Han Jiangxue ignored Jiang Xiao and continued: "Later, the King and Queen inevitably appeared in the black and white blocks I summoned.

The Bishop watched me kill the King and Queen, and became more respectful to me.

Since then, all the chessboard creatures nurtured in the black and white blocks I summoned were all respectfully saluting me under the command of the Bishop."

Jiang Xiao said, "So... are you now able to recruit a chessboard army?"

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "It's just that the probability of black and white blocks nurturing chessboard creatures is a bit low. I calculated that on average, 30 black and white blocks can nurture 1 chessboard creature. And..."

Jiang Xiao: "What?"

Han Jiangxue: "The probability of the Bishop appearing is extremely low, even lower than the Star Cluster-level King and Queen. The last time on the Alien Ball chessboard, my first black and white block nurtured the Queen, which was indeed a jackpot."

Jiang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, looking at the chessboard army, which was about 50 or 60. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Awesome, Little Jiangxue... you can stand on your own as a king and lead the army to fight."

Han Jiangxue said: "But there is a hidden danger.

But if I summon another Bishop, I don't know what the new Bishop's attitude towards me will be, whether he will rebel.

I am very sure that the loyalty of the Chariot, Knight, and Guards is not to me, but to the Bishop."

"Mm, this is indeed a hidden danger." Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "If the Bishop dies on the battlefield, then the other soldiers will not obey orders. We cannot afford this risk.

We must brush more Bishops, and they must be especially pious to you. It is best to keep a few spares, so that we can be foolproof.

How about this, I will lend you the Pupu Whale, so that it can connect you and the Bishop spiritually, so that you can communicate better and better understand your orders."

"Mm." Han Jiangxue nodded lightly.

Jiang Xiao put one hand on Han Jiangxue's shoulder and turned her body around to face her.

Jiang Xiao's expression was serious, and said, "If there are any experiments like this in the future, or any dangerous tasks, you must tell me, and I will act with you."

Speaking, Jiang Xiao felt that his words were a bit strong, and added another sentence: "Okay?"

Han Jiangxue gently "mm" and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

"Mm, that's right." Jiang Xiao put one hand around Han Jiangxue's shoulder and looked at the huge toy soldiers fighting on the black and white grid, saying, "You can write your graduation thesis on this experiment.

It's a waste to hand it in for a bachelor's degree. According to the preciousness of the chessboard, at least it's a thesis for a graduate student or even a doctoral student..."

Han Jiangxue asked in confusion: "Did the school send you a message? Let us go back for the thesis defense?"

"Uh... no." Jiang Xiao suddenly woke up, he didn't seem to have graduated yet!

That's right!

It is now late June, and the Imperial Capital Star Warrior seems to graduate in mid-July?

Damn... I haven't taken an exam in a year, have I?

Moreover, I haven't written my graduation thesis yet!

Speaking of which, what should I write my thesis on?

"On How a Star Warrior Saved 1.4 Billion People in China?"

This topic...

Even the top-level Imperial Capital Star Warrior University with the most stringent academic requirements would give me full marks for this thesis, right?
