As a divination tool used by humans since ancient times, tarot cards became popular in Europe since the Middle Ages, but their origin has always been a mystery, and there are many different opinions until today.

However, for the players of this game, the answer to this question is obviously very clear:

——Tarot cards do not originate from humans, but entertainment tools created by "gods"!

As for how to play this thing, just look at the text introduction below each card and you will know:

"Great Akan's card no.13-God of Death"

The Lord of Death descends on the enemy city-state, randomly destroying one-fifth of the population, and infecting one-fifth of the remaining population with a plague.

Reverse: Death comes to our city-state and destroys one-fifth of our population. You can choose specific targets to eliminate. The remaining residents will gain strong effects, and their vitality and morale will be improved.

"So what are the things 'our' and 'enemy'?" Lin Chi frowned.

As if he heard his voice, he saw a red spire tent appear in the distance, and there were a few hunchbacked figures walking around nearby. And on the side of the crispy chicken leg castle, there were a blue tent, with several ragged figures inside.

Although the two camps were at least 100 kilometers away from him, the distance between the two camps was also fifty kilometers. However, with the long vision of the "creator", Lin Chi still clearly saw the situation on the battlefield and his current "minister":

——The tent of his own is made of red leather, and there are some men and women wearing shabby leather clothing, revealing large pieces of dirty skin. Just looking at the unkempt and the appearance of the hairless ape, you can tell that they are completely primitive people.

Next to the camp was a small river, and the water flow inside almost evaporated. But it also ensured that these primitive people would not die of thirst. Some bushes with red fruits next to the river were the food sources for these people.

As for the tent controlled by "Crispy Chicken Leg Castle", except for the different colors, it is basically no different from your own.

Obviously, this card game should be a showdown between two bases. However...

"Can humans survive in this environment?"

Looking at the sand in the center of the two camps and the scarlet sky above his head, Lin Chi couldn't help but admire the tenacious vitality of humans on this planet. In such a harsh environment with such thin air, the human beings who can survive can be described as "real macho".

Lin Chi was still observing the situation on the battlefield, and a red prompt text lit up in the lower right corner of his sight:

——This round will be played first by "Crispy Chicken Leg Castle".

"Hehe, wait for death, you are just a false name..."

While the blonde man was talking trash, he threw a tarot card onto the table. The card was painted with a peerless beauty wearing a crown. The name of the card was written below and its effect:

Great Akan's card no.3 - Queen.

Right position.

The Empress descends into your city-state, inspiring all people and increasing the development speed of your city-state by 300%. When the Empress dies or disappears, your city-state will enter a state of panic and its development will stagnate. This effect lasts for three rounds.

When the crispy chicken leg castle played this card, a silver-haired woman wearing a golden crown suddenly appeared.

The woman protected by dozens of knights wearing heavy black armor slowly opened her red eyes, and her luxurious silk gauze was not stained with any dust. She sat upright on the throne covered with gems, raised her slender right hand behind the camp tent, and pointed to the sand in the distance.

Witnessing the appearance of the queen, the "primitive man" near the blue camp immediately began to build at a terrifying speed, as if he was injected with chicken blood.

On the originally bare sandy land next to the camp, an ancient stone city rose from the ground, and sparks lit up in the city. Originally, the location of the camp, a white imperial palace about ten meters high was built.

In the open space behind the city, a large water truck rose up, guiding the water from the river to the rear, and irrigating a jungle. Next to the jungle, several square farmlands were also planted by slaves.

With the development of agriculture, the originally pitiful population in the city has also increased a lot.

"I'm going, so that's how I play?"

Seeing that on the stone road in the city, many ragged barbarians had chains on their necks and were pulled through the street by merchants in long robes. Lin Chi immediately realized that the primitive people in the crispy chicken leg castle camp had entered the slave society at a terrifying speed under the inspiration of the queen!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi did the same thing and decisively took out the "Queen" from his tarot deck. Just when he was about to play, a system prompt appeared again in front of him:

When the opponent uses one card, you will not be able to use the same card in three rounds.

"Depend on……"

Lin Chi muttered, quickly scanned his deck, and drew a card and threw it on the desktop.

Great Akarna card no.4 - Emperor.

Right position.

A steady emperor comes to your city-state, inspiring all people, and increasing the development speed of your city-state by 100%. When the emperor dies or disappears, your city-state will have a new emperor ascend the throne. This effect will last forever before your city-state is completely destroyed.

After Lin Chi played the sign, a simple wooden four-wheeler appeared behind his tent, and was escorted by ten silver-armored knights.

A middle-aged man holding a scepter sat upright on a wooden vehicle, with a bearded face, showing a strong expression.

As introduced on the card, the emperor's appeal is obviously not as good as the "peerless beauty" on the side of the crispy chicken leg castle. Although the primitive people on Lin Chi are also building cities, the scale and speed of construction are much slower than those on the side of the Sweety Chicken Leg Castle. The size of the city is only one-third of that of the other city.

"Hahaha, do you have that little skill?"

While continuing to use the trash talk tactics to try to affect Lin Chi's thoughts, the crispy chicken leg cast quickly looked at the tarot card in his hand, and then drew a card in an exaggerated way and slapped heavily on the table.

no.7——Charge.

Right position.

The warlike will affect your city-state, turning the entire city into a terrifying chariot running at high speed. The development speed of your city-state is increased by 50% and the development speed of the army is increased by 100%. This effect will continue until your army is defeated.

As the blonde threw out the card, several catapults were quickly formed by slaves in the desert behind the rapidly expanding stone city. A high wall made of rock was built on the outside of the city, and a guardrail was also built with sharp branches outside.

With the development of military affairs, the woods behind the other city were cut down by slaves. The cut down wood was used to make weapons and armor. Some of the slaves who were originally responsible for farming also threw down their farm tools and put on armor, turning into barbaric warriors.

"Ha, do you want to play fast attack?"

Seeing that the other party was still in the slave era, the army had already begun to develop. Lin Chi raised his eyebrows and whispered: "You will kill yourself if you do this."

"You can't stand for five rounds at all!" The crispy chicken leg cast seemed to be very confident, and it was obviously used in other games: "Have you ever played the old game "Heartstone"? I used to score points by fast attack back then!"

"Are you sure that Tarot can also play fast attacks?" Lin Chi teased.

While speaking, Lin Chi turned his attention to his slowly built city. Unlike the rapidly developing enemy city, he seemed to be in the "collective production" period of primitive people. The scale of the city was so small that it was pitifully smaller than that of the other party.

Even though the opponent's development speed was far higher than that of himself, Lin Chi was not panicked. He just slowly drew a tarot card from the deck and threw it on the table in front of him.

The pattern drawn on the golden card was a fire tower hit by lightning. Two people on both sides were falling in the air, with their faces twisted and desperate.

"This is……"

Seeing the only card that symbolized ominous among the twenty-two big Akar cards in the Tarot card, and the text introduction below, the blonde man's face suddenly became solemn.

no.16——Tall tower.

Reverse.
