And so the third round began.

And this time too… The dice did not take my side.

The lead player returns to Rose again.

“ character. So should Rose Water move?

oh! Before that, first use the wind magic haste spell and leap.

Relocate within 4cm of current location!”

A quick spell is a spell that does not consume action power.

Therefore, it can be cast ignoring the action sequence specified by the Galactic Defeat’s laws of war.

The illusion of Rosewater disappears in the wind and appears from the south.

“What is the order of action in the galactic power’s laws of war?”

“… Unique actions or maneuvers, casting spells, walking or leaving, shooting, charging or striking… ”

“In that case, Rose Water’s unique behavior and total theory are activated!”

Theory sum – action. Select friendly Great Lake units within 6cm of this unit. Select and acquire one of the abilities of those units. (Abilities with the same name do not overlap.)

The units currently near Rose are Hydraka and Nereid.

“Brings corrosion from Hydraka and a partner from Nereid!”

Corrosion – Whenever this unit’s attack hits an enemy, that unit gains 1 stack of Corrosion.

When stacks equal to the remaining model number of the enemy unit

Partner (Great Lakes Unit) – When this unit ends its turn, its partner can immediately begin its turn. When your partner ends his turn, this unit can immediately begin its turn.

“The second action is casting a spell, right? Use the remaining 2 mana to fire reinforced magic bullets 6 times!

This reinforced magic bullet receives Rose’s hatred and the newly acquired corrosion effect!”

Enhanced Magic Bullet – X, 36cm, 1 enemy unit

Generates 3X attacks – Accuracy 5, Penetration 0, Damage 1.

Hatred (Dark Angel) – Once per turn, you can reroll all failed attack rolls when attacking Dark Angel units.

Six magic bullets that hit the strong mountain fly towards the secretary, and four of them hit the mark.

The scribe’s gloves crackling and melting.

The strong defense of 8 was lowered to 6, allowing 2 damage.

“Skip walking and shooting, and just charge!

Claymore strikes after charging also have a corrosive effect!”

… The Great Lakes models are still in beta, so to speak.

A step to check for any problems before official release.

Therefore, all connections could not be properly confirmed.

If Corrosion had been ‘this unit’s shooting’ rather than ‘this unit’s attack’, it would not have been abused like this when copied.

For a moment, I thought about doing a balance patch.

Four consecutive hits with the claymore strengthened by hatred further reduced the secretary’s defense by 2, making it 4, and then inflicted 8 damage, reducing the secretary’s health to 0.

The scribe’s illusion shakes, then disappears with a loud explosion.

“End of turn.”

It’s an emergency.

In all of my remaining stories, points can only be scored if the scribe is alive.

With the secretary dead, the opportunity to earn 2 points in infiltration and 1 point in pincer attack has disappeared.

In addition, the possibility of digging up the northern treasure has drastically decreased…

“… My turn.”

“What are you talking about? It works as a partner!”

“Ah.”

The worst thing is that Rose’s offensive is not over yet.

“Alexios will take the turn right away.

Alexios consumes three mana and casts a command to the Lion King!”

Order – 3 seas, 18cm, 1 enemy unit, diagonal line

Generates 1 hit – Penetration 3, immediately gains control of target unit and acts 1 time.

You cannot cast spells.

Originally, the Lion King’s resistance was 8.

Since the penetration is 3, there is more than half a chance of blocking the command.

However, the resistance to the Hydrakas’ corrosive fire has been reduced, so the current resistance is 5.

… It is designed to only reduce defense through corrosion…

The shape of the dice that appeared before my eyes was 5.

Resistance failed.

When Alexios raises his hand and emits a flash of light, the Lion King grabs his head and his eyes glow blue.

“Charge into the assassination team and cut them down with your sword!

Chivalry, shower mode!”

‘Chivalry’, Shower – Attack 3 / Accuracy 9 / Penetration 4 / Damage 3

The Lion King charging at his subordinates.

Immediately, ‘chivalry’ penetrates their bodies.

The Killing Team’s health is 3. Two attacks make two Killing Teams disappear.

Only the third model on the right survives with 1 health remaining.

“I walk Alexios once, charge him once and end the turn.”

I will cancel the word emergency.

The current situation is hopeless.

As the assassination team attached to the treasure was disposed of, the operation became impossible.

The western tactical team can take out the Krakoa advance guard, but they cannot score this turn.

Therefore, 3 points are lost.

“I… I will move the Lion King.”

Let’s calm down. It’s not over yet…

okay. What is despair? There is still a way to win, whether through points or battles.

It was too much of an advantage before, and now it’s just half and half.

“The first unique action changes the chief among equals into a cold strategist.”

With this, the Lion King and the Killing Bird can move without being affected by the lake’s rough terrain effect.

“Next walk 14cm forward.

Shoot the Light Pistol at Hydraka.”

A monster whose physical strength had been reduced before.

The body explodes immediately in the flash of plasma.

“Afterwards, charge towards Nereid.

Hitting chivalry in shower mode.”

Three consecutive hits that hit straight away. A total of 9 damage.

At this level, the damage Nereid cannot endure…

“Forgot? The Nereids are said to be copying the Lion King’s abilities.

That means… ”

iced coffee.

“Honor.”

‘Honor’ – This unit has damage null 3. If below half health, it instead has 5 damage null.

A galactic shield made of clear lake water appears.

A sacred item given to the Lion King by the Grand Marshal of the Galactic Empire.

The shield flashes, striking away the chivalric sword.

Five of the nine attacks bounced, and Nereid survived with 2 health remaining.

“… End of turn.”

“Nereid will take his turn.

Now, our developer. Can you tell me what Nereid’s abilities are?”

“Nereid’s ability, amorphous.

This unit cannot be close… In other words, the operation is possible… ”

“First action. Operation.”

When Nereid waves his hand, a pile of treasure is dug up.

Earned 3 points.

With this, Rose and I have equal 6 points.

“There is nothing you can do next, so end.

Thanks to Nereid’s partner effect, Krakoa will take its turn immediately.”

Krakoa ended its turn after struggling pointlessly against the tactical team.

“Now it’s your turn. I moved all the units, so you can do whatever you want.”

“The killing team’s turn. Operations… impossible. Unable to cast spells.

walking. Shooting is impossible. After charging at Nereid, hit the crow sword 3 times.”

2 hits, 2 piercings, and 1 damage negation.

Nereid survived with 1 health remaining.

“Tactical team’s turn. Operation impossible. Unable to cast spells.

Give up walking. Shooting is impossible. Strike the serrated sword at the Krakoa advance guard.”

A tactical team that completely overpowered Krakoa.

“End of turn. This concludes the round… ”

“Why is your expression so dark, Cantor Colman?”

While the game was going on, a voice that had been silent asked me a question.

“Looking at the table, you are not at a great disadvantage.

In a situation where the victory points are equal, the unit has a numerical advantage.

In the north, Rose and the Lion King are right around the corner… In any case, it would be difficult for Rose, who has limited durability, to compete with the Lion King on equal footing.

Now that the tactical team is free in the west, they can dig up the treasure and put pressure on Alexios.”

It’s not wrong.

the problem is…

“What is the story?”

“What?”

“Both of my stories have been made public.

And with Rose cutting off the scribe, the story becomes even more impossible to progress.

However, Rose says there are two stories left that have not yet been revealed.”

The maximum number of victory points that can be earned from two stories is 6.

Even if you don’t score them all, you might be able to take away 3 points.

In other words, the victory points are not actually equal.

In addition, Alexios comes down to the center and aims to score in the 5th round.

A Nereid who barely survives and prevents the Killing Team and the Lion King from scoring.

Everyone is a risk factor.

“… Okay, then let’s move on to round 4.

Will you really pass this test? ”

Paget.

I reflexively closed my eyes at the flash of light.

I opened my eyes wondering if a rescue army had arrived, but… There was no one.

but…

“Hey, hey! client! Sponsor!”

Rose waves her arms and shouts at the ceiling.

But there is no answer.

“What on earth happened…? ”

I put my hand on the chair and unconsciously tried to get up, but then I sat down again.

There’s no way I can stand up now. Tied to a chair with magical strings… Tied?

I reflexively groped my waist.

Rose also seemed to have noticed that the magic field had been released and jumped up.

The illusion of the units is still projected on the table.

But we knew it intuitively.

They no longer have magical abilities.

“Huh.”

The Blue Dragon’s Magna Cum Laude stared at me intently.

And immediately, he ran towards the claymore stuck on the wall.
