Before Sam could disappear from the stage, he checked the health and noticed that one of the five bars was empty. The soldiers are not bad. They can even be called geniuses even in the Naga Loka.
Sam didn't feel much surprised and exited the battlespace and reappeared in the chair. He once again moved the pawn forward and this time, the pawn in the diagonal direction of the queen.
He was ready to get taken out by the Queen, but to his surprise, Kartikeya didn't make that move and used another pawn to move forward.
It is not completely unexpected though. After all, the queen is bound to win, so there is little point in making that move. But Sam was ecstatic because his pawn can either challenge the queen or the Knight.
