Civilization Game

The night of the ball held by the gods. While everyone was dancing and talking, Lord and Serena were ironically playing board games.

The first game, of course, ended with the completion of the Road. She seemed to be experimenting with the rules.

And moving on to the second edition, the situation completely changed.

'… Mi, crazy!'

Again, both of her dice were scored six.

Her words rush forward to take possession of the land, and Lord moves as a footstool and steps on the land she purchased in succession to pay for the toll. Rod was dragged around the game, unable to turn the battle upside down. There was no time to try to reverse it. She has never been caught on road land.

"…… I lost."

Rod, who had barely sold the land for a lifetime, eventually declared bankruptcy. Serena's like, "Hmm. I nodded. He didn't show his face, but he seemed happy. I was angry.

"... Childish, but funny."

It was her emotions.

"Tsk, scissors are fun just to win."

"But there's something about this game that doesn't make sense."

"… What is it?"

She points her finger at the ground on the board.

"Why are Paris and Rome priced the same? I can't admit it. While the land value of Paris is 80,000 euros per square meter……."

"You can't play that kind of detail! Contact your producer!"

The rugged road soon cracks its chin with a rugged look.

"And I've been bothered all this time, why do you keep halfway through?"

"I don't want you to be angry about losing the game. Defeated dogs have no words."

"Hey!"

I was mistreated as a dog because I lost a game once.

"Speak comfortably. It's a waste of calories to talk longer because of formalities."

"... Shit, yeah. Let's go till we get there."

Burnt Road said while tidying up the game bills.

This was Lord's predecessor.

'I know you calculate the movement of the dice and throw it with the same wrist snap. Then I'll take my chances!'

The fist of the rod holding the dice twitches. Both dice face the palm of your hand with a scale of 1, then lightly drop your palm down, not up. When perfect, the dice are rolled exactly four times on the floor as a result.

Two dice, six! '

Lord shifts his horse 12 spaces forward with a single smile. She stares at the road with a cold face across the street.

"Hehe, what's the matter?"

She looks back at the board and says in a small voice.

"…… nerd."

"You're in no position to say that!"

A casual board game of good fortune and crying was the moment when two fraudsters spoiled it. The two showed meticulous dice control and became hand-to-hand combat rather than luck, where the mistake was lost.

"How long are you planning on staying on the island? When do we enter the continent?"

Lord said, building a series of buildings on his land.

"For the time being."

She answers and rolls the dice. Three, three come out. Her words hide in the desert past all the lands that belong to the Lord. Lord was hungry and tasty.

"You orchestrated the destruction of Daedalus, didn't you?"

"About seven. Guy thinks he did it on his own."

This time Lord rolls the dice. He was aiming for 12, but 11 came out and settled in New York where she bought a bunch of hotels. Lord said by paying her 2 million won, which she made by selling the land.

"Don't you do diplomacy?"

"What a waste of energy."

She simply replied.

"Diplomacy returns to the logic of power anyway. If we go to the continent, we'll negotiate with the countries we need, but it doesn't matter now."

She rolls the dice. The two dice did not come out on the same scale, so Serena's words remain on a safe uninhabited island. The trap set in place to catch her becomes meaningless.

"Ha, I envy island country. Some people are surrounded by six countries and can't seem to notice..."

"Each has his own set of standards. This island is difficult to operate because there are only two Node Territories."

Lord's words return to her lands. Lord sold the land he owned again and paid her one million won. This made the color darker.

In the end, the third round was also the defeat of the road.

The next game is chess. Serena chose the game again, but Lord was also a confident genre. Their skills were somewhat centuries-old and their playing time was considerably longer. However, the result was the defeat of both black and white roads. I couldn't beat Serena in a thorough and calculated fight.

Next was the GO Lord wanted to play. Lord told her the rules for her that she'd never done it before, and she quickly accepted the fear that the teacher felt.

The game started shortly after practice. Serena was a gust of wind to see the battle end based on a thick stone. Roads, on the other hand, were fast, aggressive and good at messing with uncommon anomalies.

The two of them played all night long.

Rod won four consecutive wins. She still couldn't cope with the odd number of Lord's anomalies with her internal affairs. In the last five games, however, Cerestina, who caught the black, finally won the victory. In the beginning, he was distracted by Lord, but he had traditionally won a great victory and turned the tide. Lord put out his tongue.

'…… a real monster.'

It's been a long time since I've been up all night. By the end of the fifth round, Lord feels exhausted. I came to rest, but I felt like my hair was getting more bruised.

"Let's call it a day."

Serena smiles sadly at Lord's words.

"That just got interesting."

"It's because I'm so tired. We'll get another chance later."

Lord howls and scrambles. How many hours has it been? I felt like I was frowning because I sat still.

"Thanks for being a good fit."

She thanked me for what she did.

"You're welcome."

"Rod Polentia. I think I might be a little more interested in this game with you."

"... You mean the Temple of the Lord?"

She nods lightly.

"The end of the game is fixed."

"Of course it ends with your victory, right? That's what everyone says."

"…… the outcome can't be changed, nor can the players. A certain end is just a tragedy, a bad joke."

Lord grunts, but she speaks in a very serious tone. It's like a prophecy. Lord feels the strange distance he felt when he first saw her.

"But your struggle was a little different."

"That's a lot of talk on the 1-4."

At Lord's words, she 'sucks' and for only a few moments she looks speechless.

"It's not right to say GO alone."

She quickly disagrees.

"I played 10 games a day, and it's exactly 5: 5. And from the next round, it would have been my victory."

"What's the point of winning a game you haven't played yet? Let's make the final battle from the Temple of the Lord. Serena."

"…… Serena?"

She glances back at the road and asks.

"Oh, well. I was just singing it once. Serena's too long. No?"

She shakes her head.

"Efficient because it saves you the energy you don't need to call your name."

"Are you looking for efficiency there too...."

Lord opens the door and says,

"Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. One day I'll punch a hole in the wind in your painting."

Serena faintly raises her lip.

"…… I look forward to it."

Lord goes back to sleep unconscious.

When he heard the mysterious alarm again and woke up, the evening was almost over. I came to rest, but my lifestyle seemed more irregular.

Rod took a light shower and came out wearing his outfit.

'After all, all I did was come here to play a game.'

Lord howls down alone.

"Lord!"

As soon as I came down the stairs, the white emperor's player rays blocked the front of the road. His black-eyed forehead shakes to the left and to the right, blindfolded, just how urgently he arrived.

"No, I'm surprised. Why are you suddenly like this?"

"Let me talk to you for a second."

The beam pulls Rod behind the column a little distance from the central hall. It was the rays I hadn't spoken to since the Jamuka incident. Then why all of a sudden? Rod followed behind him and felt the gaze of some players.

Unusual air lurks around the hall.

"Where have you been? The situation is getting serious!"

"Did something happen?"

The beam breathes for a moment and opens its mouth.

"Genozerg's alliance is established."

"Oh, right. That's what I've been talking about."

Seeing Sunbeam say this, it seems that Baek Seoin was not chosen as an ally. Rod himself did not receive the offer, was Aland chosen? Or a completely different country? Rod looks curious and waits for the next word from Sunbeam.

"Three-way alliance. The Opectus-Albheim Alliance has allied with Genozerg!"

"W-what?"

The rod's pupil is rapidly enlarged. Is that a mistake? I felt like my head was empty.

"Damn! Things have gotten really complicated!"

There were only two directions for Genozerg to enter, which led to a large territory in the far south-west. Perfect as an umbrella in front of him? It is the territory of the Alvehem and beyond, the territory of Icarus to the east. The other two sides were the sea.

Expanding toward Icarus to the east stretches the territory horizontally. Everyone, including Rod, thought that the defeatist players would naturally seek an alliance and face a frontal battle with the two countries standing in the way.

But things changed. Instead of looking for alliances elsewhere, these three countries form alliances.

As a result, Genoserg's troops were more likely to head south towards Icarus and the baggage above Icarus. In addition, Opectus and Alveheim are no longer worried about the back of their heads, allowing them to attack Aland and Abyss in their immediate vicinity.

'Wow, I didn't think of this. Western allies... Must be a massive assault.'

"There's one more piece of information I need to know."

As Lord's mind grows more complex, a ray of light throws another new message.

"Icarus has already surrendered to Genozerg."

"… Yes? What the hell!"

"We had an agreement. Icarus proposed a truce to Genozerg in exchange for giving him a free Node territory. Genozerg has accepted the offer, and when he returns to the game, the two countries will officially enter into an agreement."

"Well, then…."

"There's only one place Genozerg can attack now."

It was the land of the Baekje, the upper town of Icarus. In fact, it was the land of the former Arogenes, but now it is the land of the Baeksang. Of course, it was also the site of the Road's flange. Genozerg will use the land as a platform to spread across the entire continent.

"Eventually, I'll have to deal with Genoserg. Of course, Lord Rod will have to deal with his allies as well."

"I see. So what are you saying?"

"That's ……."

A dark shadow falls beneath them as they speak. The two people flinched and looked back at the same time.

"What are you guys talking about that's so funny?"

When they arrived, a large, tall man looking down at them, about three meters tall.
