Training Arc • 9: Player X Player II

There was no smart defensive strategy that Aeric could see, and Alzera was advancing quickly. She now had her Tactician slightly forward. It was risky, but she was gaining confidence fast, and made sure to keep the Tactician close enough to her Ranger.

Aeric had already made three retreating moves now as Alzera advanced, and she was now getting closer to the real Treasure Chest so she could now claim the +1 point.

If he retreated any longer, not only was Alzera's confidence not going to increase, but he was putting the Treasure Chest in jeopardy.

Yet, what did he do?

He retreated one more time.

"It's not looking good for you, Prince Aeric," Kael remarked. Ryn clenched his jaw. Delva watched silently and Bel's eyes were wide open.

Alzera smirked, moving her Ranger closer to the Chest, she was just a few steps towards it. She could use a sprint action card and race to it, but why waste the card when she was already that close.
