What did you do with the dice?

He was also rather unlucky. The donor, who Anthony thought was very resourceful, had not been back to the border for too long and did not know that Silver City had introduced some new policies after returning to Sanita. He thought that he could rely on some leverage and bribery to control the border officials of Silver City and transport unidentified illegal immigrants as easily as before.

As a result, the other party agreed to help verbally, and then immediately turned himself in, which confused him: What does that mean? What kind of grudge do you have? Would you rather sacrifice your own life than sell me out?

Later, he learned about the new rules in Baiyin City. If you accept bribes but don't do anything, you will only be responsible for paying a fine. If you turn yourself in, your sentence will be reduced. His brain, which couldn't keep up with the development of the times, was almost burning.

But this was just a small episode. The most important thing was that that day was the day when Challens was transported to Silver City among the stowaways.

Since it was a captain of the city defense department who surrendered himself, and the city defense hidden dangers of the underground sewer system were involved, the local guards felt it necessary to report the Sunny Tower. At the very least, they could exaggerate the threat and take credit. It would be even better if they could remove the captain's position and replace him with themselves.

As a result, as soon as I went out, I ran into Rusalka shopping with Phoenix. Wouldn’t it be more direct to report it to the city lord?

The above is the story of how Rusalka captured the eldest prince.

But Rusalka didn't know any of this. He had handed the follow-up of this matter to Sanita, who was always responsible for executing the results, not the reasons. I found the stand-in you asked for. As for the stand-in's background, what does it have to do with me, Rusalka? I have to investigate everything. Am I the KGB?

Rusalka was still wanting to ask him how he could prove that he was the eldest prince. When he was determined to interrogate this stinky spy until he revealed his true colors, a genius idea suddenly popped up in his brain circuit.

He first had Ai Li cast a soundproof barrier for them, then said to Challens, "I can trust you, but only if you sign a contract with me as a guarantee."

Rusalka asked Phoenix to prepare a contract. Phoenix reluctantly cut open his arm and used black mist to create a document in the air. "The content is that under no circumstances will you deny your identity as the Grand Prince. If you violate the contract, you must serve me unconditionally for ten...fifteen...two years."

The more severe the penalty for violating the contract, the greater the cost to the person who made the contract. Rusalka struggled for a long time and finally decided that the price would be two years to save the cat some money.

"Well, of course, no problem. But please believe me, I really am the Crown Prince." Challens awkwardly signed the inexplicable contract. "After escaping from Alice City, I wanted to find a wizard in the kingdom who was more powerful than Teacher Anthony and retake Alice City."

"Yes, yes, you are the eldest prince, you and your whole family are the eldest princes, but forget about the idea of ​​v50 you, because I have already v to Qin Shi Huang."

Rusalka watched the contract taking shape in the air as it merged into her body and the body of the confused and bewildered Great Prince, who completely misunderstood his words. She nodded with great satisfaction, "Very good, now you are the real Great Prince! Play your part carefully. And I don't care what your intentions are. If I discover you're attempting sabotage, I'll shoot you dead."

Rusalka: (I'm truly a genius! This not only solves the problem of a potential body double failing to act like ours, but also forcibly ties this talented and capable traitor to our chariot. It also stabilizes him, making him think he has an opportunity to exploit. Little does he realize that I'm planning to slowly deal with him after the battle is over. Three birds with one stone!)

Sanita was speechless: (Okay, you are a genius.)

The cat next to her didn't understand the new words Rusalka said, but since the two sides had met, it was a good thing. It was so dark in the forest, and if she didn't light a fire tonight, she could let Rusalka explain it to her.

Chapter 164 Sicilian Front (14)

Facing a cavalry charge, infantry without tower shields could only do two things: stand firm and raise their spears.

Just as Custer raised his war hammer to command the infantry to defend, he saw the spearhead in the middle of the cavalry triangle formation charging in front of him suddenly hit an invisible wall. The horses were knocked to the ground by the huge recoil force, and the cavalry behind him had no time to react. They stepped on it and fell to the ground, followed by a large chain rear-end collision.

The two five-rings of Sanita's body dimmed, and his double focus talent was triggered - he summoned two force field walls at once.

Force Wall, a fifth-ring spell, is considered the most powerful fifth-ring magic for mages, bar none. With concentration, it can last up to ten minutes. It can artificially create an invisible wall a quarter of an inch in diameter, up to 100 feet (33 meters) in length. Custom wall shapes are also possible. This wall is impenetrable by any physical means, invulnerable to damage, and cannot be dispelled by magic dispel effects. This wall can even travel across planes to intercept enemies, causing Phoenix to suffer numerous head injuries. Only the Disintegration spell can instantly destroy it.

Let’s put it this way, Rusalka has no way to deal with it. She can only take a detour or use the Phantom Step to pass through the wall.

This is the force field wall, the killer of cavalry charges and the mage's invincible physical barrier.

Of course, spells could certainly penetrate this wall, but what good would that do? Where in this world would so many magic cannons come from? And without a ring, the native mages of this world couldn't possibly cast powerful spells while galloping on horseback.

"How is this possible? There is absolutely no sign of spellcasting. What kind of magic is this?" Gis was shocked as he watched his cavalry's perfect close-range charge. The sharpest formation in the center was completely destroyed in just a moment by the unreasonable spell. The entire team was cut in half by this invisible wall, like a middle-parted haircut by a razor.

Even when the rear army trampled on the front army in large numbers, the central army had lost dozens of cavalrymen before the battle even started. What's more, such serious casualties occurred in this situation where they couldn't see anything. The ordinary soldiers also began to fear magic, fearing that they would also hit this air wall, so the charge speed of the two wings slowed down.

Can cavalry without charging speed still be called a cavalry charge? The opponents are heavily armored infantry, and they are definitely capable of withstanding a slightly slower charge.

Once the light cavalry is slowed down by the heavy infantry, the only outcome is death.

Gis quickly shouted to the wizard staff beside him: "Why don't you break the spell?"

The mage who had set the sensor trap hesitated and said, "I... I've already used the Great Purification, but it seems there's no way to remove it. I've never seen a spell that summons a transparent wall before. He's a great mage after all... I've tried my best."

Gis gritted his teeth and said, "Asshole, I don't want to see your best efforts, I want the results!"

As his side's morale plummeted, Custer's army, seeing the enemy's forces disintegrate before they could even charge, naturally boosted their morale. He pressed on, shouting, "Archmage Sanita is supporting us. Under his magic, the enemy is completely vulnerable! Kill!"

The eerie spear formation began to move forward, and the iron boots stepped on the ground, making a slight tremor. When the enemy's formation was in chaos due to these two invisible walls and the rhythm of the charge was completely lost, Custer's heavy armored infantry began to counterattack.

The spears quickly pierced the bodies of the cavalry and horses. The flanks of the two armies were the first to fight together. Most of the heavy armored infantry in the first row suffered fractures and fell to the ground due to the impact of the cavalry. However, the cavalry's charge was weakened again and again, and finally exhausted. Faced with the subsequent infantry who immediately came up, they could only draw their swords and fight in close combat.

The advantage of heavy armor soon became apparent. If a sword was chopped on the helmet or armor, it would be basically impossible to penetrate the armor unless it hit the vital parts. The heavy armored infantry basically held two-handed weapons, and a casual blow to the warhorse would cause it to fall to the ground.

Or if you suddenly pull the cavalry's weapon, the cavalry can easily be pulled off the horse and then killed by the rushing infantry.

As for the central army, Custer rushed forward very quickly, but when he hit it with a hammer, something embarrassing happened. His attack was also blocked by the invisible wall.

It was a rather bizarre scene to quietly watch the group of cavalrymen who were smashed into a bloody mess through the wall. Fortunately, ten minutes later, before anyone could hold back their urge to vomit, the wall disappeared, leaving only corpses and blood on the ground.

Shana, who was leisurely strolling in the army, suddenly saw the rabbit in her arms flash and was blown into pieces, splashing blood all over the rabbit.

Shana is a weirdo. She is obviously afraid of cockroaches, but she has no discomfort at all with the sight of being covered in blood. She just looks puzzled by the scene. How come the little rabbit she was touching just now turned into a mosaic?

That's fine, she pulled out the longbow behind her. Now that the person she was protecting was gone, she could exercise a little.

I haven't shot in a long time, so it's a good time to warm up my hands.

Looking at the arrows flying all over the battlefield, she bent her bow, drew her arrow, concentrated her mind and held her breath, and shot out as fast as thunder. The sharp arrow was as fast as lightning and hit the target right between the eyebrows!

She couldn't help but whistle proudly. The human archers here could only hit one or two out of ten arrows, and they might not even be fatal. But she could kill one person with one shot. It turned out that we elves are the best archers.

If this were like in the novels, where I blew up an entire magic artillery tower with a flaming arrow, and then I turned around and threw the arrow in my hand to the side. A true archer never looks back at the explosion. How cool would that be?

It's fantasy time!

The pet's perspective suddenly went black. Looking at the [Pet Died] message in the lower right corner of his vision, Sanita grumbled, "Tsk, pets really do have different tolerances. Once their capacities are exceeded, they'll die. Luckily, I'm using a ring spell, or the backlash would have been enough to take a toll on me. But it looks like I don't need to intervene; the outcome is already decided."

Rusalka: (Who understands what you are saying? When can you come to save me?)

Sanita: (No rush, I've already reached the north of the forest. I can't believe Marquis Momola didn't send anyone to ambush here. I can only sigh that the world is so big and full of wonders.

Could it be that he saw through my plan and figured I couldn't possibly cross their territory and head west to Alice City, so he kept his troops in place and refused to move out? That's right, he's a marquis after all, so it's normal for him to be able to compete with me. This would actually be quite troublesome.

Gather as many troops as possible, continue north, and you'll reunite with us once you exit the forest.)

That's right, everyone is very powerful, and they have won many battles. They have penetrated the upper, lower and wild lanes, and only Rusalka in the middle lane is getting beaten.

Now that he had reunited with Phoenix, he was looking for the remaining soldiers. As he searched, he found quite a few soldiers, but the enemies also gathered. Soon, they were beaten hard by the tree people that rose from the ground around them in an open area.

This time, the elves and the enemy's human soldiers cooperated. The tree people specifically targeted Rusalka and the others with hammers, while the soldiers kept throwing flammable materials and smoke bombs to harass them, and also used archery to launch sneak attacks.

The Ranger Squad is truly the epitome of perseverance. Even after losing the commanding Archdruid, they still did not give up their goal. Instead, they turned around and continued to cooperate with the troops to launch a fierce attack on Rusalka.

No matter how powerful Rusalka was, he had been fighting for two consecutive days. During this period, he had fought countless battles, big and small, without even having time to take a long rest. Finally, his resources were exhausted, his health was at the bottom, and he was pierced through the throat by an emerald green arrow, bleeding on the spot.

"My Lord!" The soldiers nearby wanted to come over to support, but they were entangled by the branches of the tree man and could not get away.

Phoenix was also startled, and a rare expression of panic appeared on his face. He hurriedly dropped the tree man he was dealing with, turned into a shadow and came to the fallen Rusalka, hugged his head, and blocked his wound with black mist.

Rusalka slowly raised her hand and tightly grasped the hand that Phoenix had extended to hold him. She said weakly, "Phoenix, I'm sorry, I'm afraid... Hey, don't cry, I was just joking. How could I die so easily? It's just a fatal wound. It won't be a big deal."

Seeing that the wound on Rusalka's throat healed instantly when he spoke, Phoenix believed that he had done it on purpose. So he sniffed, wiped the tears from his red eyes with his arm, stood up, turned around, shot two arrows, and then swung the tail at Rusalka's face as she flipped over and stood up again, expressing her dissatisfaction with his bad joke.

Rusalka didn't see it, but Ai Li, who was standing next to her, saw Phoenix turn around and smile with a relieved look on her face. In her pure heart, which still yearned for beautiful love, she was very envious of the relationship between Rusalka and Phoenix.

After a few hits, Rusalka gave up defense and exchanged injuries, shooting another ranger. She was hit in the chest by the tree man's hammer and flew away. A large part of her chest collapsed and she lay on her back on the ground motionless.

Phoenix quickly stepped forward to finish off the opponent, then quickly turned back to look at Rusalka again.

This time, Rusalka didn't play tricks. The collapse in her chest quickly recovered after the next breath, relieving Phoenix's anxiety.

Because there is a 10-second delay before escaping from near-death experience, he lay on the ground for ten seconds before turning over and standing up, telling Phoenix that he was fine and not to worry.

The third time, Rusalka was shot through the head. Phoenix was already used to it. She stood silently in the distance and watched Rusalka lying on the ground. After the arrow "popped" out of her head, the wound healed automatically, and then she stood up.

Everyone tacitly hid their curiosity about Rusalka's immortal miracle and pretended not to see it.

Anyway, he is on our side, so if we are to confuse someone, we should confuse the enemy.

The setting sun gradually sank below the horizon. The endless fighting seemed to make it tired and it wanted to go home and rest as soon as possible.

After it got dark, the surrounding enemies retreated. They were also human beings and needed to eat and rest. Before the forest was completely shrouded in darkness, in order to see tomorrow's sun and have the strength to wield weapons after waking up, both sides needed to give each other time and space to find food and a place to stay.

With the familiar sound of birds singing, the elves also chose to leave.

Rusalka has a large number of people on his side tonight, so they can take turns to keep watch. He can finally take a long rest in peace.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the cat's tail wrapped around him, and a pair of golden eyes that seemed particularly bright in the darkness were looking down at him condescendingly.

Feeling the warmth and weight pressing against her, under normal circumstances, Rusalka would have gladly accepted it.

But now, his mind is full of thoughts about recovering resources quickly, as he still has to compete tomorrow. Phoenix is ​​held every day, and it is a permanent activity. The pleasure of competing with a powerful opponent in full condition is a limited-time activity.

Faced with Phoenix's sincere invitation, Rusalka tried to tactfully avoid it: "Phoenix, stop it. We are still fighting. Let's talk after the war is over."

Having said that, Phoenix didn't understand ring positions and long rests, nor did she think that this conflicted with fighting. She was a member of the Filin tribe who had been accustomed to being domineering for two hundred years. Seeing that Rusalka was unwilling, she decided to use force on him. With an attitude of "you sleep, I play mine", she began to compete with Rusalka's equipment.

There was no other way. She would not be able to sleep any more if she did this. She might as well be more proactive and try to get a reduced sentence. So Rusalka hastily gave Phoenix a few tasks in this makeshift tent.

After putting on his clothes and armor again, facing Phoenix who expressed dissatisfaction and requested to be re-delivered the task, he could only helplessly say: "Phoenix, please, I really need to get eight hours of sleep now, otherwise I will really die tomorrow, and then you will cry again.

Hey, hey, hey, I was wrong. Don't take my clothes off. So, if you let me sleep with you now, I'll double the amount when I get home. Any position is fine. If I don't agree then, you can just burn all my clothes. It's okay if I don't wear them, right?"

Phoenix then gave up and fell asleep holding him.

Finally entering the long rest space, Rusalka sighed and said to Sanita, who had also begun a long rest: "I used to wonder why some people would leave their sweet-smelling wives behind and go to sleep after playing games. Now I know, they probably also need to take a full eight-hour long rest to restore their ring position. Sigh, I feel like I've suddenly entered middle age. Why don't I go back and try fishing after this game is over? Maybe I can even develop a new hobby to pass the time."

Sani Tower: (This is what happens when people inside the wall want to get out and people outside the wall want to get in.)

Rusalka was not convinced and tried to find a way to challenge her brother: (So are you inside the wall or outside the wall?)

Sani Tieta was clearly prepared: (I'm standing on the wall, able to laugh at both sides' ugliness at the same time. I can even see some people jumping back and forth, paying the gate fee twice, and then facing off against the phantom of their past, don't you agree?)

Rusalka was unable to find a way to fight back. Thinking back to when he had traveled through time, he had indeed looked like an ugly Teddy bear. On the contrary, his brother Fei Ge had always been detached from the world, as if he would immediately explode into relics after being cremated. As a result, he was unable to refute and could only reply: (6)

Chapter 165 Sicilian Front (15)

It turns out that morale depends largely on the personal charm of a corps commander.

When Allen Croissant ordered the boulder launchers to join the battlefield ahead of time, he was doomed to lose the trust and support of the surrounding soldiers. Facing the entire Sarolt army rushing towards them like gods descending from heaven, wrapped in starlight, it was already difficult for them to have anything to support their thoughts of resistance. In the end, they were betrayed by their own commander.

The current situation is that the enemy in front is unable to resist, and our own people in the rear are attacking indiscriminately and do not take their lives seriously at all. What can we do?

The soldiers, with their strong desire to survive, don't need face, which is a worthless thing. They are going to die anyway. It is rumored that the paladins of Esdi next door never kill innocent people. Why not try to drop their weapons and surrender?

Reputation is a very useful thing. Although Esdi is not as quick and decisive as Sanita in many things and has to restrain his hands due to his position, he can also avoid many unnecessary conflicts and speed up the collapse of the opponent's morale.

After the soldiers in front dropped their weapons and surrendered, Esdi's Star Knights stopped fighting with swords. As long as they didn't block the horses' path, the cavalry in front would not kill them lying on the ground.

Of course, the infantrymen following behind would still rush to capture them and drag them back as prisoners, especially those soldiers from the Pearl Tears Territory sent by Sanita. They had all been hiding at the back when they charged into the battle formation. Now that they saw that the situation seemed stable, they all started charging forward, one by one, like they were rushing into a subway during rush hour. When they caught someone still breathing on the ground, they would take out the rope wrapped around their waist to tie him up, and then drag him to the back in a show of force.

They like to do things that have low risks and good returns.

If the war wasn't going on right now, with Lord Knight Esdi beside them and other soldiers behind them, and if causing chaos to their own people on the battlefield would cost them their heads, otherwise they would probably fight each other on the spot for the ownership of the prisoners. These are all military merits. No matter who captured them, if you tied them up and brought them back, you can at least get a share.

At the beginning, Sani Iron Tower did not expect that these miscellaneous troops who were not even qualified to be city guards could be of any use to the Esdi army. They sent two thousand people here just under the pretext of observing and learning from the Esdi army, and arranged for them to share some non-combat production activities with Esdi's knights and infantry, as well as support activities for battlefield transportation equipment.

In fact, he was just an assistant. Being able to help feed the horses, grind weapons and carry luggage was his greatest expectation for this group of guys. Being able to follow them to the battlefield without any side effects was a pleasant surprise.

This group of people followed Knight Esdi, and the battle they fought was like a group of silver players mixed in a game of king level. Although the opponents might also be silver players, it was better for them to AFK under the tower than to suddenly think of making a move.

After the army on the left wing of Allen collapsed, the Esdi Legion did not chase the fleeing remnants, but continued to break through to the south and returned to where they came from.

After marching for one day, they met up with the baggage trains that were split to the left and right of the rear and received a large amount of food supplies and consumables.

Sarolt decided to let the entire army rest for a few hours, and then march to the mouth of the basin at night, head towards the central forest, and go in to rescue Rusalka and his army.

As a result, halfway through, they encountered a cavalry group that was fleeing in this direction.

After the follow-up troops from Custer's side caught up, Allen Gis completely lost the idea of ​​teaching the other side a lesson. Instead, the great wizard Sanita taught him a lesson that he would probably never forget in his life. He had no choice but to order a retreat and return to the left wing to meet up with the family's infantry troops.

As a result, they ran into the Sarolt army halfway, which was just turning back and taking this route.

When the commanders on both sides reached visual distance of each other, they were both stunned. One side didn't understand why the other side would withdraw from that side, and the other side didn't understand why the army on the left was not their own.

Sarolt: "There are cavalry ahead. Use your tower shield to hold them up. Follow up with your spearmen. Prepare to charge!"

Gis brandished his spear, reined in his horse, and pointed forward, "Hold the formation! They are the remnants of the army that were driven back by my father. They are at the end of their strength. Let's make a concerted effort and break through their defenses!"

Looking at a plum to quench your thirst can indeed boost morale - provided that the cacti in the desert don't slap you in the face.

When the two sides collided, it was like the tide receding, and it became obvious which side was swimming naked.

Gis had never fought such a frustrating battle. He was surrounded by the enemy's troops in front and back so close to his own territory. While cursing the Marquis Momola next door for his inaction, he racked his brains to think of how to escape this disaster.

However, his command action just now has undoubtedly exposed his identity as the commander. A group of paladins rode their horses over the shield wall and rushed straight to Gis, stepping on the corpses of the enemies. The cavalry of the Allen family around them did not dare to compete with these heavy cavalrymen who were covered in heavy steel armor. Everyone was afraid that they would be smashed to pieces along with their horses, so they reined in their horses and fled to the left and right to make way.

"Someone come, protect me and rush out!"

Facts have proved that there are still many loyal ministers. Many knights beside Gis still choose to draw their weapons and ride their horses in front of him to block the charge of the paladins for him.

However, as soon as the crowd parted, Shana, who had been secretly following them all the way, found a perfect opportunity. She took out a scroll given to her by Sanita from her arms, injected magic power into it until it became hot, pointed the front of the scroll directly towards Gis, and then tore it open from top to bottom.

A blinding flash shot out from the scroll, transforming into a thick lightning beam that pierced through half of the cavalry team!
