."Eh" The First Emperor looked surprised. "Aren't there four saints Do you think I don't know how to count""The Xuanwu Mechanism is for hull defense, but the best defense is attack, so just get rid of..........
.......
On the vast ocean, a gigantic battleship is slowly sailing.
Seen from afar, it resembles a giant turtle.
Above, layers of mountains rise one behind another.
From the highest building, one can already faintly see the distant mountains and the light on their peaks.
It is said that the city of was built by the gods, with Apollo and Poseidon personally crafting its walls. In order to make the city closer to the sky, Apollo even piled up mountains, constructing it on Mount Olympus, connecting to the sky and adjacent to the west coast. Zhou Yu must have read a lot of mythology before the war.......
"All enemies who come must first climb the western coast, then ascend Mount Shenya, and finally face the massive walls of Troy. This is quite unfair," Huo Qubing shook his head.
"Indeed..." Zhou Yu let out a long sigh.
Behind him, a door opened.
Lu Cheng walked out and came straight to the two of them.
"Lu Shuai, is it done"
"Well..." Lu Cheng replied, "We can already see the city walls. Everyone... are you ready"
"No problem."
"That.... hoist the sails!"
........
........
When I opened my eyes, the room was still a mess.
The table inside was overturned, and there was a large hole in it.
But the light is on.......
The sound of a door opening.
A man in black walked in from the back door and leaned something against the wall.
Lu Cheng took a look. This is a shovel for digging earth...
"Uh..."
"Alright, let's go." The old man in black didn't wait for Lu Cheng to ask, he pulled him up and walked out through the front door.
"You're not here this time" Lu Cheng asked as he walked.
"This house is ours, now let's go to someone else's place. Even our own house needs time to tidy up, doesn't it" the old man replied.
Lu Cheng did not ask any more questions.
Here, nothing is more important than playing cards.
The old man led Lu Cheng up a spiral staircase. They arrived in front of a large hall.
Come in.
"Alright...."
Lu Cheng and the old man in black stepped into the hall.
Unlike last time, the hall was bustling with people... all sorts of them, gathered around a central poker table.
Lu Cheng couldn't clearly see most of their faces, but it seemed...it didn't really matter.
Neither did anyone notice two more people in the hall.
The old man and Lü Cheng also walked to the card table.
Li Cheng pulled out a chair and was about to sit down...
The old man pulled Lu Cheng up by the arm.
"This time we're off-stage, responsible for making this... well... the noodles on the table more, colorful and lively..."
"Oh, right!" Lu Cheng only just remembered, it seemed this time, he wasn't a direct challenger.
It is perfectly fine to live in the background, standing by the table without needing to be brought up.
Only the duelists from the Holy City and Winter's Peak need to fight to the death.
The robed figure sat at one end of the table, their face and expression hidden beneath their hood. Behind them, a dark throng stood, setting down cards on the playing field.
But because of the fog of war, Lu Cheng couldn't see clearly either.
Meanwhile, on their side, the Lion of Winter sat at the table, sipping mead.
... many, many people stood behind me.
"Don't be careless, what you see isn't necessarily true." The old man in black robe reminded.
"Hmm." Lu Cheng nodded.
The hall was very dark.......
In the shadows, under the table, even inside the cabinets in the hall, someone might be hiding. Lu Cheng couldn't see clearly at all.
"Alright, what cards do we have"
The old man looked at the messy table and asked Lu Cheng.
......
Just then, the host's deep voice boomed.
"This round is about to end, please arrange your cards and prepare for settlement!"
Lu Cheng took out a deck of cards and placed them on the table.
"【Qianjicheng】 in the rear, 【Hanhai Chengnuo】 is about to approach 【Xihai Coast】. I have ordered salvage and repairs, settle accounts first."
The sound of settlement rang out.
A waiter came over with several cards in his hand.
"Sir, please take your loot cards from this round."
Just as Lu Cheng was about to take it, a woman walked out from the shadows.
After gently stroking the card, he vanished once again.
Then, with a flash of light, the card's star level increased.
"It's the 【Blessing of Artemis】, sir! You're so lucky!"
Lu Cheng shrugged and, holding the cards, returned to the table.
"Equipping this card to [Ocean-Going Barge]!" Lu Cheng immediately placed the card onto [Ocean-Going Barge].
Just as it was put down, the black-robed old man beside it reached out and took out several from it!
The labor and capital negotiations... Lu Cheng couldn't bear it anymore.
"Don't mind these details." The old man in black tucked the card into his pocket, not caring at all: "Next round is the tide building round, right"
"Yes." Lu Cheng's blood pressure was already close to 180.
"Do you think it will go smoothly" The elder glanced at the table.
Now that it's the settlement stage, things are chaotic both inside and outside the venue. There are fights breaking out outside, and some have already failed inside.
Card after card connected, the animations on their faces colliding into one another. Countless cards transformed into dust and vanished from the table, while others were picked up by the players.
"Ha, that's impossible......" Lu Cheng shook his head. "The opponent isn't a wooden dummy, they can see us drawing cards, stacking buffs, and finishing with OTK."
What do you think, if the other party wanted to interfere... what form would it take
"I guess...a magical attack." Lu Cheng stared at the table. "You look at [Troy]..."
A dazzling card glittered under the light, placed prominently in the center of the table. Its surface shone brightly in the illumination.
"Don't focus on this card, look behind it....." Lu Cheng's gaze sharpened: "We can only choose to set up on this Western Coast table surface, but the wall blocks the taunt, their back is absolutely safe. I guess, a large number of supply domain cards are being formed......"
"Hmm"
"They are totally capable of combining a spell card and our collision... I don't know how long it takes the opponent to assemble spell cards in Troy using the Supply Zone, but I'm sure we need three turns."
"Hmm"
"The opponent has the advantage of playing at home, it's definitely hard to win a horse race. I guess that in the second round, our field will be hit, so when the tide rises, we need protection." Lu Cheng continued.
"Hmm"
"Don't just hum in response!! Seeing that hints don't work... "Big Shot, whip something out!!"
The old man in black robes simply spread his hands.
He didn't say anything, but it felt like he said everything.
"You're a stingy old miser, aren't you" Lu Cheng shook the black-robed elder forcefully......
"Let go....... "
"No!"
"Don't let go, 【Spirit Turtle】 is coming back! You're only giving this little bit and still have the audacity to ask for more"
"Look across... " Lu Cheng pointed at the table, where a mass of people were locked in a fierce battle. "I make my living off bloodshed. You want me to run but refuse to give me any real resources You almost got me killed by Artemis, didn't you"
"Out of steam! You go first... Alright, alright! I'll rummage through my stuff in the house. You make the first move this round, and I'll be back for the second."
