What did you do with the dice?

But this was not the end. The old tower master swung his arm again, and Rusalka's body was peeled off from the wall, slamming hard into the wall on the other side, causing another explosion.

Each time, it was a continuous control completed instantly, which resulted in the [Eel Transformer] never lighting up. Rusalka felt like a small ball in a box that was constantly turning over, and was constantly projected and hit against the walls in various positions as the tower master swung his right arm.

The tower master's movements became faster and faster, and Rusalka's ejections also became faster and faster. He hit the wall, exploded, hit the wall, and exploded again. The tower master seemed to be crazy and didn't care about his life or death. Even when Rusalka's blood volume was at the bottom, the remaining corpse was still controlled to crash around, and then automatically resurrected after 10 seconds to continue repeating. The entire 9th floor was smashed to pieces in an instant.

Until the second resurrection, this one-sided suppression that lasted for nearly a minute finally ended with a stone pillar piercing Rusalka's body.

The old wizard fell from the air to the corner of the sloping wall, leaning his body against it, gasping for breath and coughing violently.

"Ahem...it's finally over. So what if the devil's followers were nothing? In the face of my magic, they'll just turn into a pile of rotten meat."

"it is finally over."

The old wizard was stunned. After making sure that this was not an auditory hallucination or the echo of his previous words, he looked towards the location of Rusalka's "corpse".

Rushaka, whose abdomen was pierced, seemed to be resurrecting from the dead. He raised his stiff arm and slapped it to the left, shattering the stone pillar and transforming it back into earth elemental particles. Then he stood up with a somersault, patted his immediately repaired body and the armor that was gradually sticking together. He raised his middle finger to the tower master who was watching them like a bull with red eyes. "What are you looking at? Don't you know that the Pearl Tears and Lament family don't take the card explosion and send them to the grave? And Kusha's wrath is not afraid of the surface-side exclusion?"

After Rusalka finished speaking, he spread his palms to his side, and the black sword stuck in the ground vibrated and flew up from the ground. The hilt of the sword quickly flew into his palm and was held tightly by him.

Then he slowly walked over, bent down, picked up the shield that had fallen on the ground, blew on its surface, wiped it with his hand, and put it back on his arm.

"Great, this is my favorite turn-based game. Even if you haven't finished, it's my turn to start it!"

Chapter 277: Fierce Battle Outside the Kingdom's Capital Castle (17)

Immortality? But this guy wasn't a mermaid, and he didn't have a "core" in his body. But even among the demons, no lord possessed the "immortality" trait. This bastard was completely beyond what he had seen and heard in the past two hundred years. Even if he had read through all the knowledge recorded in his mind, which was like a vast library, he had never thought of any creature with the resilience of Rusalka, who could die and be reborn so many times.

Rusalka teleported with the Mysterious Step and slashed an earth shield with a sword. The Tower Master used the wind blade to cut Rusalka's body, but the latter cut off one of the blades with his sword. He then used the Parry Master's skill to block the two wind blades that attacked at the same time with almost no time difference.

The magic circle on the ground activated to block it, but Rusalka broke free from it in less than a second and shattered the earth shield with another sword.

The earth shield exploded into spikes, but Rusalka didn't dodge at all, allowing a large number of earth spikes to explode on her body and even her face. She stubbornly chased and chopped at the tower master under the bombardment of magic.

This is no longer human. This kind of fight...this...this is not even worthy of being called a fight!

As Rusalka was beaten again and again, the tower master's will to fight was shattered bit by bit. Somehow, he suddenly recalled the four words "enjoy it" from Sanita's words just now, and felt even more terrified.

While using the strong wind to push Rusalka away, he took the opportunity to quickly throw a pill into his mouth, took two steps back, took a deep breath, and flew directly on the wind, intending to fly out through the gap in the wall to escape.

There is absolutely no way or hope to kill this guy. Even if he is facing a giant dragon, after such a long battle and so many magical baptisms, it should be injured and covered in blood. Only in this way can he at least see the effectiveness of the spell and estimate how long it will take to kill it.

But the monster in front of him was not like that. After being bombarded by spells of such intensity, he was able to quickly repair the fatal injuries on his body. He looked completely free of injuries and did not even show a trace of fatigue.

It is almost impossible to win in this situation. After all, although taking drugs can increase the recovery speed, it also has its limits. Forcing magic will only damage the magic circuit. Although running away is frustrating, it is useful. At least the paladin below can definitely not fly.

Rusalka swung his sword and fired three bursts of magic energy, but the latter, who was able to read the trajectory of magic, easily dodged them with flying magic.

"Don't run away if you have the guts!"

"Dark magician and devil's lackeys, I will remember you. Just wait to be hunted down by Esdi and live in fear!"

After saying that, the old tower master turned around and wanted to fly away.

But the next moment, he urgently stopped flying forward and made a quick side turn in the air. When Rusalka thought he wanted to show off his flying skills to her, a black mist line with a sharp cold light instantly passed through his unprotected side.

His robe was torn, and a wound appeared on his waist that was bleeding profusely. Under the influence of the black fog, even if he quickly sprinkled the potion he carried with him on the wound, it was of no use.

Black lines condensed on the ground, and the first thing that appeared was a soft white tail and a pair of pointed ears.

Black fog swirled around his body, and through the fog, only a slender outline could be seen, and two sharp eyes emitting a breathtaking golden light, like a top predator lurking in the dark night.

Tsk, I’m a little envious of Phoenix’s special effects.

Seeing her own anti-air cat in position, Rusalka's expression suddenly brightened. She smiled provocatively, "Suck, suck, suck! Country Mage, while you're secretly gloating over your beating of Yuyu, my wife has already taken care of all the minions in your tower. Yes, this is the Red World's number one killer, [Bad Blade] Great Sucker Phoenix! Good cat, stand within five feet of me and let me suck you in. I'll cast a protective aura on you."

Phoenix showed a look of disgust and took two steps away from Rusalka, causing Rusalka mental trauma that broke the system's protection.

These moves of Maomao were so recognizable over a hundred years ago that they immediately made the old tower master react: "Ghost, the president of the Shadow Association? How could you still be alive! You should have died in that cleanup operation by Esdi!"

Phoenix would not answer the enemy's questions, nor would she say a few words like Rusalka. She let the black mist carry her up without hesitation. Her level of control over the power of the Shadow Lady was superb, and her flexibility in the air was even better than that of the tower master, forcing the latter to not dare to fly out of the tower. He could only grit his teeth and release tricks and low-level spells in the air, swinging out a few air whips, trying to fight with Phoenix.

Rusalka stuck the greatsword into the ground, raised her arm and pointed: "I'll help you!"

Three magic energy explosions were projected in a scattered manner. The tower master was accidentally hit by one and was pushed back 15 feet by the characteristics of [Repulsive Magic Explosion]. Phoenix seized the opportunity, came behind him, gathered all the shadow power in his body on the short blade in his hand, and then stabbed forward at the tower master's back.

The Mist Shadow Dagger pierced through the shield and went straight through the old wizard's chest from behind.

The old wizard gritted his teeth and directly released the magic power in his body. Although doing so would damage the magic circuit, his life was already threatened at this moment and he had no time to think about the future. After knocking Phoenix away, he used ice to freeze the wound on his chest to prevent bleeding, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Then he immediately took out a random teleportation scroll from his arms and activated it. Although the landing point of this thing was random just like its name, it would only guarantee to teleport to a location in the "occupiable space". If he was teleported to the seabed or an underground space enclosed by magma, he could only consider himself unlucky. But no matter what, he at least had a certain probability of survival, which was a thousand times better than the current situation of being dead.

However, this spell requires more than ten seconds to prepare, and Phoenix and Rusalka obviously would not stand there stupidly and watch him teleport away. The moment Phoenix's dagger pierced their bodies, they quickly unfolded their [Elemental Body] and transformed themselves into [Air Element] and hid in the [Elemental Plane]. The dagger wrapped in black mist took Phoenix with it through his gaseous body and failed to cause effective damage to her.

"I'll remember today's vengeance. You'll regret provoking a great wizard!"

"Cat, get out of the way!"

Rusalka shouted, and Phoenix immediately rolled to the right. Rusalka raised the black sword and slashed at the place where the old tower master was vaporized. The latter was in the process of teleportation, and did not think that Rusalka had the ability to open the elemental plane like the mage, so he sneered without dodging.

This confidence lasted until it was broken the moment the black sword hit his head hard. His body instantly changed from gaseous to solid, and was chopped back to the main plane by a sword. But before he could open his mouth, Rusalka had already activated the Holy Slash that had been accumulated for a long time and had never had the chance to use!

[Multi-dimensional Strike]: As long as the target is in the same spatial grid, Rusalka's attack will hit the opponent no matter what means or which plane they use to dodge.

At the moment the holy light flashed, Phoenix once again transformed into a dark shadow and pierced through the tower master's body directly from the side.

The power of Lady Shadow robbed him of his vitality, turning his body into a withered state, while the power of Holy Light burned his internal organs and directly burned and festered his skin. Light and shadow were eventually intertwined, and the two fought against each other and exploded in his body, eventually perishing together, along with his body as a battlefield, turning into ashes!

"This is our exciting combo!"

Seeing that the enemy had been killed cleanly and efficiently, Rusalka put down his sword and raised his palm.

Phoenix understood and raised her hand to high-five Rusalka.

After Rusalka's celebration ceremony ended, it was Phoenix's turn. She used her tail to pull Rusalka a little closer. Rusalka understood what she meant and bent down and lowered her head, touching noses with Phoenix.

After work, let’s go, cat, let’s go back and have a long rest!

Sanita: (The private chat channel has suddenly gone so quiet. You must have just finished fighting and are interacting with Phoenix. Let me interrupt you. I don't mean to interrupt you, but after calculating the time, I think you might have forgotten me. So, I want to remind you that before you plan to go back for a long rest, I think you can come to the underground and bring me out. This will save me, a noble 7th ring, from having to deal with emergencies.)

Rusalka, who had already grabbed the cat's tail and was about to go back with her, suddenly felt guilty and said stubbornly: (My dear brother, this is your fault. How could you doubt that I had forgotten you?)

Sanita thought about it and agreed to save face for Rusalka - he actually saw through Eagle Sauce that his good brother and Phoenix had reached the third floor, broke the wall and jumped out.

Rusalka's method of rescuing his brothers was relatively simple. While maintaining his awakened aura, he used the free Holy Slash to chop the floor, and then let Phoenix use the Shadow Tentacles to roll them down. He repeated this process until he reached the basement and soon found Sani Iron Tower, who was sitting in the corner meditating with his eyes closed.

Rusalka extended her hand towards him and waved her shield. "Finally, I found you, Senior. Hurry up and bring your loyal shield soldier Shelter with you to save Humanity!"

After saying that, he even touched Phoenix's little head beside him and said, "Look, we even have Fu Fu."

Phoenix slapped his hand away and looked at Rusalka with some doubt: This prodigal human man, what is he doing that she can't understand?

Rusalka soon regretted rescuing her brother because Sanitita said that all the other enemies in the tower had run away, so she wanted to walk around and see if she could pick up some useful things to bring back.

The attraction of this large magic tower to the brothers was probably comparable to the attraction of a large fashion shopping mall to women. Rusalka could foresee a future where she would follow her brothers around aimlessly for hours. She thought that this was bad luck and she might as well have pretended not to hear anything and slipped away with the cat.

Sanita remembered something and took out a flare from his pocket and handed it to Rusalka: "Oh, Phoenix, please go to the top of the tower and light this flare to let the army launch a general attack."

Rusalka's eyes lit up: "Can we leave after we finish ordering?"

"Why do you sound so reluctant? Besides, I just asked Phoenix to go up there. You can stay. There's a lot of stuff to move. If you don't move it, should I?"

"Ugh, in the eyes of my brothers, my gender is actually a Walmart shopping bag."

There was no way out, Rusalka could only complain and followed Sanita dejectedly to visit each room.

----

After the signal flare representing the Pearl Tear Territory was launched into the air, the commander outside immediately blew the attack horn.

The soldiers finally began to advance, hammering the shield with their weapons and ramming horns.

Regarding the question, "The situation appears to be the same as before, and the shield is still in place, so why did Master Sanitta choose to launch an attack at this moment?", Instin, the latest Ice Mage in the Pearl Tear Territory, explained it this way: "This is the wisdom of Master Sanitta. When the Mage Tower falls, it seems that the enemy is at their most vulnerable, but in fact, it is precisely when they are most feared. This is easily explained by magic theory. When the structure of the mage's spell collapses, there is a high probability of a secondary explosion during the backlash. If you try to take advantage of the situation and kill him, you will most likely be dragged into it instead."

"But if we attack again after such a long time, the enemy will surely be exhausted and have lost their will to fight to the death. This is the perfect time to defeat them."

"As for why the barrier didn't lift? How could it be that Master Sanita couldn't do it? He was able to destroy two wizard towers in one night. The incarnation of a god is no more than that."

"If you ask me, he must have done it on purpose. I've heard of a form of torture in the Kingdom of Snidi where they blindfold the prisoner, pierce their skin with a needle, and place a dripping bucket nearby. The prisoner will think they're being bled out, and after a night of this, they'll be frightened to death. But if Master Sanitieta breaks the shield directly, it would be like a clean, quick death for the prisoner. He might even thank us for giving him a quick death. How can we do that?"

"Marching and fighting have always been like this. The best strategy is to break the enemy's morale, instill fear in their hearts, and make them dare not fight back. Think back to when Master Sanitieta and I worked together to deal with that terrifying adult thunder dragon in Kalbes. Master Sanitieta slowly tortured it to death. I wouldn't call that cruel; it's the wisdom of a mage. Do you expect to kill a dragon with kindness? Isn't saving thousands of innocent lives a good thing?"

After hearing this, the surrounding mages nodded their heads like chicks pecking at rice, feeling extremely fortunate to have been able to follow Sani Tieta to the battlefield, gain so much knowledge, and learn so much useful information.

Chapter 278: Fierce Battle Outside the Kingdom's Capital Castle (18)

In fact, that "Saslin" Instin really praised the Sani Iron Tower too much. Even though the Sani Iron Tower had always been like a precise machine, he was still a human being after all. Although he would not be physically tired, the battle just now had kept his nerves tense for a long time, with life and death hanging on the balance. If he was not careful, he would be killed by the old tower master who was a real wizard. This would still make him feel a little mentally tired because he did not have some extra abilities like Rusalka that could completely remove his negative human emotions.

To describe it in a more naive way, it is like dancing with death. Even if you can persist until the finale, you will eventually feel a little tired.

Not to mention the careful preparations he had to make when sneaking in, so at this moment he had no time to think about the situation outside.

Occasionally, you have to give yourself a break and relax. For example, when you take Rusalka to search the room, the little surprises when you repeatedly find valuable items are the best way to make him feel the secretion of dopamine and relieve mental fatigue.

Rusalka was a natural-born warrior. To him, a battle felt like a complete one, and he heartlessly insisted on letting his brothers continue working non-stop. "We're already inside the tower, why don't you just break through the barrier outside? Why rush to search now? These things won't run away. Once our army takes this place, I'll help you pack up the entire tower and move it back."

Sanita rolled her eyes at him.

"Having no magic is one thing, but the other is that I'm exhausted from the battle just now. I'm tired of your awful jokes, so now I just want to give my brain a rest. I can't hold up the tower with only one left. The soldiers are already on the battlefield, so I can't just take the pay and not work. I might as well give them something to do, maybe help hammer a few times. This will make it seem like I don't have any unnecessary decisions. Put all the bottles on the table in a sack and take them away. Don't break the lids."

Rusalka muttered to herself as she filled the cup: "I'll fill you up, little beaker."

Sanita was speechless. "I was so busy collecting the spoils that I almost forgot to deal with you. Now that the battle is over, you are forbidden to talk nonsense!"

"Ah? You're also going to ban [The World of Princess of Sorrow and Tear of Lingering Sounds]? Just how dissatisfied are you with Yuyu? Born! And brother, are you playing a useless second-level card? You burned out after just one play. Or maybe you didn't play enough. Elbow, come with me to charge Alice's inner city and build up your endurance."

"Get lost."

----

Finally, Sanita, who returned with a full load, and with Rusalka who was carrying the load for him, met Phoenix at the door, and then he used the same trick to open the secret door and teleported out.

As soon as I went out, I saw the grand scene of Hydra splitting the sky with one sword. She seemed to have turned into a Pangu cat. The huge shadow of the Ashbringer's sword slashed down, and actually cut a very obvious crack in the purple shield.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Pearl Tear Territory did not hesitate to praise Hydra and cheered for her.

"Great! General Hydra is invincible!"

"I won't act anymore. Actually, just like the Lord, I've always been a huge fan of the Filin Clan!"

"So, you like the Filin people too!"

Compared to the inspired Pearl Tear Army, the spies who were secretly observing this side from a distance were even more excited, their faces flushed as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Compared to the Pearl Tears Army's initial arrival, they had already experienced too many days and months in this siege, attacking the city, building barriers, counting casualties, resting, gathering, continuing to attack the city, building barriers, and returning to the battlefield. They had been repeating this cycle for over thirty days and were almost numb. However, the barriers remained as intact as on the first day. To them, this was no different from the confusion and helplessness of Rusalka's enemies when they dealt with him. They were in pain because they could not see the end, and even fell into the dilemma of "is what we are doing really meaningful?"

But at this moment, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The successive destruction of the Mage Towers broke the stereotype that Alice City was invincible and could only rely on Esdi. The appearance of this crack undoubtedly added a strong turning point to the boring score of this long siege. No matter where they were in the camp, at this moment they were all roaring wildly in their hearts to cheer for Rusalka's army, and they couldn't wait to see the whole curtain shattered into pieces and the wall of Alice explode on the spot!

The defenders on the city wall were heartbroken. Dark clouds covered the moonlight in their hearts. They could only helplessly watch as the cracks expanded and spread little by little, as if the despair in their hearts was growing.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a drum is broken, everyone beats it. With the precedent of Hydra, all the soldiers of the Pearl Tear Territory rushed forward and hammered the shield like crazy with all their might. With the precedent of Hydra, everyone expected that his hammer would be the most critical, the most epic, the most important and the last one, for fear that the credit of taking the lead would be snatched away by their teammates.

"Quickly release the arrows! We can't let them get any closer. Give the mages time to repair!"

The commander on the city wall was almost shouting himself hoarse, but his voice couldn't make the wall crossbows with a fixed attack speed fire. The damage of the flying arrows to the heavy armored infantry was really limited. Under the influence of the fanatical atmosphere, even if the Pearl Tears Army suffered unexpected casualties, it could not shake the morale of the soldiers who rushed forward recklessly.

The people in the Mage Tower, which was covered by the Sani Iron Tower, were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Almost all the mages and guards stopped their work and looked outside the city through the crystals and windows.

"Tower Master, should we use magic to support the city walls? Or should we repair the barrier?"

The tower master here, the old man in red robe, looked worriedly at the west side facing him - it was an "original" wizard tower that had tilted and sunk, and lost its magical luster. Just two or three hours ago, it was standing there intact, with its head held high, telling the legend that Alice City would never fall.

Today, the people have left and the tower has collapsed. A century of glorious construction could not withstand the destruction in an instant.

"Hold! This barrier will prevent their magic from entering. We only need to mobilize the troops in the inner city to support us. With our advance preparations, we will definitely be able to hold on and avoid repeating the same mistakes. Send people to strictly guard all entrances, especially the windows. No one is allowed to use the magic ladder without my permission. From now on, I want everyone to stay at their respective posts until reinforcements arrive."

His words completely announced that the south had lost the possibility of receiving magical support. Under the relentless offensive of the Pearl Tears Army, the cracks on the shield continued to increase and expand. Finally, with a crisp sound, the barrier on the south shattered like a broken glass cover, leaving a huge gap dozens of meters wide!

"It's broken! It's broken! Long live Lord Sanita!"

Compared to the cheers of Rusalka's army, the defenders on the city wall were already extremely shaken. They looked back at the wizard tower with hope, hoping that it could send down thunder to intimidate the enemy as before, but the only response they got was the deafening shouts of the Pearl Tear Army.

At this moment, a loud retreat horn sounded, and the Zhulei army phalanx instantly stopped its advance. The battalion commanders and regiment commanders in the lead were all stunned, and then they all blew the retreat horn together - that was the sound of the main horn coming from the Sani Iron Tower.

This retreat was undoubtedly a decision that puzzled everyone present. Even Rusalka, who usually didn't want to think, was puzzled. With morale already so high, shouldn't they immediately send siege ladders forward to set up ladders, and then take down Alice's city walls while the enemy was tired and frustrated, making the Pearl Tear Territory the first force to plant its flag on the city wall?

"Sometimes being first isn't a good thing. The enemy will definitely mobilize troops from the east and west to defend and counterattack. Even if we take the city, we won't be able to hold it for long, and it will only increase casualties."

Sanita lowered the horn from his lips and said, "First of all, we will be easily targeted by other forces, especially the Delai family. It's hard to imagine that they won't try to trip us up. It's better to be cautious and retain more combat effectiveness."

"With our precedent, the other families will definitely attack more vigorously during the day. Our defenses are broken anyway. When they have exhausted the resources and strength of the outer city defenders, we can sit back and reap the benefits, right?"

Rusalka felt it was a pity. How could this Pearl Tear not take first place?

"Finally, I need a long rest, and so do you. There are plenty of bosses in the Church of the Seven Sins."
