What did you do with the dice?

When everyone confirmed that they were fully prepared and Phoenix had retreated into the shadows, Rusalka issued the final pre-war mobilization command.

Sanitta asked him to be brief, so Rusalka summarized the strategy for the operation in one sentence: "Enter the village quietly, and don't fire any guns."

Although no one understood Rusalka's bad jokes, everyone roughly understood the meaning. Fortunately, the effect of the haze made it difficult for everyone to see each other, and no one saw Sanitta holding his forehead and sighing.

In short, they left the carriage behind and set off in the dark.

Rusalka, who was walking at the front of the group: (This scene makes me want to recite a poem.)

Sunny Tower: (You, a cultural desert, can recite poetry? Fine, fine, while you still have time to talk nonsense, hurry up and finish it. I'll say the same thing later, get down to business.)

Rusalka was stunned, but now that he had said it, he couldn't remain silent. Wouldn't that mean admitting he was a cultural desert? (Ahem! A hundred cavalry raided the Wei camp, their feat was known to the world! This attack will surely intimidate the enemy.)

Sani Tieta: (Alas, I knew you couldn’t say anything cultural.)

Rusalka: (If we popularize 21st-century board game culture here, will it be a hot seller?)

Sunny Tower: (It will be popular, but it won't be a hot seller. After all, there are no intellectual property protection laws here. By the way, this world actually has a lot of fun mini-games. Based on tricks, which are small magic tricks that ordinary people with magical powers can use, there's a game called Kingdom Sandbox that's really fun.)

Rusalka: (You know it’s fun even though you haven’t played it yourself?)

Sanita: (I've played it before, but the maids in our castle are too weak. It would have been fun if I had a rival. But you can't because you don't have a mana bar.)

Rusalka: (What a shame... Wait, there seems to be something wrong with what you just said. Bro, when did you play with the maids?!)

Sanitta shrugged without answering, and Rusalka gritted her teeth in anxiety.

In the light cavalry camp, 20 people would be set aside to stand guard every night, with a six-hour shift. Rusalka didn't understand the pattern during the shift changes, so it was impossible to knock down all the sentries at the same time.

So Sanita's plan was to split into two groups, one group followed him to the left, and the other group followed Rusalka to the right. Their mission was the same, which was to set fire to the stables and drive away the horses.

Just as Rukasa complained before, without horses, light cavalry wearing only cloth armor are not as powerful as light infantry.

No matter how tough a man on horseback is, he doesn't necessarily sleep on horseback. Except for some horses tied casually to the side of the tent, most of the horses are concentrated in simple stables arranged in four areas. This makes it convenient to feed them and mount them in case of emergency.

Although patrols would ride spare military horses around the camp, the guards on the stables' side would not ride on horses.

It was the first time that Rusalka saw what Phoenix, who in his mind already had a bit of the look of an ancestor, looked like when he killed someone - although Maomao might really be his ancestor given his age.

First, a figure emerges from behind the opponent. After a cooling period of about one second, he quickly takes out a dagger enchanted with shadow energy, covers the opponent's mouth with one hand, and then directly cuts the throat with the dagger. The shadow energy invades the opponent's body through the throat, and the opponent falls to the ground and twitches without even making a sound.

However, the sound of falling could not be covered up, and another companion soon noticed this strange noise. However, Ma Si was not a completely quiet place. Although it was obvious that the sound was not the sound of horse hooves stepping on the tower ground, the guard would not think that his companion had encountered an accident at the first time, and he would always come over curiously to see what was going on.

So Phoenix repeated the same trick, emerging from the shadows again, and quickly covered his mouth and wiped his throat, successfully knocking down the two guards in the east district.

So the few people who followed here stayed nearby with oil drums, while Rusalka and Phoenix quickly rushed to the next area to repeat the operation.

Thanks to Phoenix, their group acted quickly. After Rusalka successfully set fire to the horses in the southeast, the group left in the northeast also started to set fire. Sanita's group had just killed a group of guards and seemed to have been exposed by accident. In short, they only set fire to the horses in the southwest.

"Enemy attack——!"

The neighing of horses and the roar of sentries resounded throughout the camp, and the entire half-asleep camp suddenly "woke up". The sound of long swords being unsheathed could be heard from the tents. The White Horse Light Cavalry Squadron was indeed an elite squad under the Viscount. Even though there were flames and thick smoke outside the tents, it only took them about 2 minutes to go from sleeping to fully armed, go out to find the nearest mount and climb on it.

On the battlefield, time is life, this is an unchanging iron rule. Rusalka proved this iron rule by shaking the blood on his sword - he just rushed into a nearby camp where people had not had time to get up, the holy light illuminated the tent, and then he killed five people in a row with a sharp sword.

You're talking about chivalry? You might be able to use invincibility in Assassin's Creed, but it's unnecessary. Stealth and assassination are more impressive, right?

When they were separated by two places, the PL channel came into play, allowing Rusalka and Sanita to exchange each other's location and environmental information at any time.

Sanita: (We haven't found the commander here. The enemy's bugle call came from your side.)

Rusalka: (I saw it. Phoenix just killed the one with the horn. Damn, I think I've been exposed? Why are all the people around me pointing at me and shouting "Lord Pearl Tear is here"? Damn, they all ran off on their horses, cowards!)

Sanitieta: (Brother, the way you hold a two-handed sword in one hand is so obvious, I always thought you did it on purpose.)

Rusalka: (Oh my god, they're shooting arrows at me. I activated my berserk, but it only lasts for 100 seconds. Oh my god, how come the ten rounds that take forever in the game are so short in real life?)

Sani Tower: (You've built 524 points, so you're not going to die just yet?)

Rusalka: (That's far from my limit. I previously studied the differences between real-world rules and game rules in the office and revised my construction strategy. I previously spent 10 points to purchase a [Flexible Expertise] talent. Every time I take a long rest, I can freely choose a feat to take effect for one hour. This feat can't coexist with previously selected feats, but that's okay. I also have a talent called [Expertise Conversion], which can cancel one of my existing feats and treat it as another unlearned feat.

The original purpose of this build was to obtain double the [Master of Giant Weapons] and give the DM a little fixed damage shock, but now I find that on the battlefield full of mobs, I only need one sword to kill anyone, so defense is much more useful than offense.

I converted my [Brutal Brawler] feat into [Heavy Armor Master] feat, and then used [Flexible Feat] to copy the [Heavy Armor Master] feat. By exploiting a bug, I gained two [Heavy Armor Master] feats. All the physical damage I took was fixed at -8 points during settlement. Now within 100 seconds, combined with the damage reduction effect of this level 3 armor itself, I should be immune to about 30 points of physical damage.

Um, all I see are -0 damage numbers. Haha, there's even a -0 crit! This is ridiculous. Haven't you eaten yet, fellow archers?)

Sanita: (Ah?)

Rusalka: (What's wrong? It's just a construction bug. Don't look at it if you don't like it.)

Sunita: (No, I just regretted worrying about you for a second.)

Rusalka: (Oh my god, there's a spider in my house! Ah ↑ Ah ↓ Ah ← Ah → Ah ↓ ~)

Sanita: (What the hell, we're in combat now, can you please stop talking nonsense in the PL channel?)

Rusalka: (No, there was a heavy cavalryman riding a spider charging at me, and I lost 10 HP from his spear charge! Converting that backwards, the original damage from his spear was 40 HP, or even higher! More than a fireball! There's a master! I've met Zhao Zilong! Where are my teammates? Help me out.)

Sanita: (10 HP? You're nothing! Looks like the general is looking for you. Lucky you, bro. Kill him first. I'll be there soon.)

Sanitta observed a few seconds of silence for the fool who took the initiative to find Rusalka. It was hard to imagine what kind of courage supported the general to choose to take the initiative to fight Rusalka in close combat.

If he were still playing tabletop games in his previous life and treating Rushaka's card as a boss, and if his data were made public, even he, a master of rulebook research, would be shocked: What? I'm fighting Rushaka? Seriously? Do you want to fight?

----

This guy actually took my Qi-gathering charge head-on and didn't fall down?

At this moment, Yan Xin just realized that the Lord of Pearl Tears was not exaggerated in his fear. Although he knew that the Lord of Pearl Tears, who was also a great knight, would definitely not be easy to deal with, he deliberately hid his intentions and took the lead in launching a blatant "sneak attack" on horseback, thinking of using such an action to gain an absolute advantage.

Not to mention that Rusalka could be killed with one blow, he expected that Rusalka would at least be seriously injured by this blow. Even if he avoided the attack, he could then command his mount to trample on the opponent, or swing his sword to injure the opponent. Even the big knight unit had equipment gaps. Rusalka's outfit looked like light armor at most. The advantage of heavy cavalry over light infantry was simply too obvious.

However, Rusalka blocked the shot with her hand. The opponent retreated three steps while holding his spear, and actually pushed himself and his mount, which weighed several hundred kilograms together, to the spot. Can such extraordinary strength really be possessed by human beings?

At the same time, Phoenix's figure emerged from the darkness. She had already come to the side of Yanxin on his mount, with the dagger in her hand ready to cut the other's throat.

However, Yan Xin was worthy of being a great knight. The moment Phoenix appeared, he shouted loudly, using techniques such as sound waves or air waves, which shocked Phoenix's light figure back a few steps. Her weight disadvantage made her miss this good opportunity.

But it didn't matter. Phoenix quickly took half a step back, preparing to let her figure disappear into the darkness again. This was also her terrifying point. If she failed to strike, she could choose to retreat and lie dormant at any time. As long as they didn't have a perverted cross-dimensional attack ability like Rusalka, no one could do anything to her.

However, as if it had been anticipated, a transparent emerald green arrow cut through the air and flew towards Phoenix's abdomen the moment she retreated, hitting the dagger she had raised before she sank into the darkness.

The arrow seemed to carry some kind of magic. Her dagger and the black mist were instantly shattered by the arrow, and the tip of the arrow pierced her abdomen. Her figure was suddenly knocked out from the darkness, and she hurriedly slid in the air and retreated behind Rusalka.

Rusalka raised her shield to block Yanxin's thrust, turned to look at Phoenix, and shouted, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Phoenix pulled the arrow out of her abdomen without changing her expression. Before the blood could spurt out, she covered the wound with a shadow to stop the bleeding. She looked at the arrow in her hand, which had turned into a decaying branch, and whispered, "Elven Archer."

But what she didn't expect was that Rusalka, who was defending against Yanxin's attack, deliberately allowed herself to be hit by the spear, took the opportunity to step back, then reached out and pressed her abdomen, quickly healing her wound with holy healing.

Before the latter could react, Rusalka said to her without turning around, "The enemy has a sniper rifle at the middle gate. Phoenix, you retreat to point A to help Sani Tower. I'll take care of them."

"You want a one-on-two fight?" Phoenix flashed forward and knocked down three arrows that flew from a hidden place on the side for Rusalka. However, the arrows seemed to have eyes. Although they were clearly deflected by the dagger, they spun in the air, flashed emerald green light, locked onto Phoenix, and pounced on him.

Phoenix indifferently swung his dagger to shoot down the arrows, but the arrows kept "resurrecting" and flying up like undead creatures. In the end, Phoenix had no choice but to turn into a black line to avoid the pursuit of the arrows, and once again gathered his figure at the edge of the battlefield.

Obviously, she was no match for the sharpshooter.

She has a very bad compatibility with the opponent, and because her faith has been shaken and her strength has been greatly damaged, she is unable to quickly enter the Shadow Plane. There is a fragile period of about one second when entering and leaving. The shadow energy that can be mobilized during this time is very small. If she is hurt, she will be unable to enter the Shadow Plane.

The speed of the Elf Archer's arrows can reach up to 400 meters per second. Once locked by the Archer, it will be difficult for her to enter the Shadow Plane again. Her only fate is to be consumed by the opponent's continuous shooting. If she does not retreat, she will only die.

But retreating here also means that Rusalka will have to fight two people alone. Staying here can at least distract the sharpshooter's attack target and create an opportunity for Rusalka to fight alone.

Just as she hesitated, the arrow flew towards Phoenix again like a poisonous snake.

This time, they hit a shield that was shining with golden light. After the holy light and the emerald green light collided, the immortal arrows finally extinguished the light of life and turned into dead branches and fell to the ground.

But while he was defending against the arrows, Yanxin instigated the spider to kick his shield hard with its front legs, pushing Rukasha back a few steps again.

Thanks to Rusalka's support, Phoenix's figure successfully faded into the shadows, leaving behind a sentence: "You can ignore me and focus on dealing with the enemy."

"If you die, who will help me take care of the villa? A capable cat like you must cost at least 80 gold coins a year."

I don’t know if Phoenix heard it, but anyway, Rusalka pushed the spider away with force and recovered some blood at the same time.

The heavily armored knight waved his spear and spoke condescendingly to Rusalka, "I am the kingdom's appointed Grand Knight and the heir to the Consnat family. I am Consnat Flameheart. Rusalka, I lead my troops here to defeat you and avenge the murder of my father-in-law. I will use your head to comfort his spirit and free my beloved wife from daily tears."

"Oh no." Rusalka didn't really listen, but thought to herself that this guy had so many settings. She sighed slightly, looked up at him, and asked, "Are you also a great knight?"

"Exactly."

"Oh, then I'll try to build it."

The next moment, Rusalka's figure disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 47 Absolute Combat Power

If I were to use one word to describe Rusalka's mood at the moment, it would probably be: boring.

Rusalka felt that she seemed to be able to resonate with the same teacher Saitama in One Punch Man. After the overwhelming happy experience, she felt very bored.

This is why people often say that Fengling Yueying Sect is nothing more than a way to vent one's helplessness and play games with cheats. No matter how exciting the game itself is, the inflated data and cheating behaviors that go beyond the framework will eventually turn the entire game into a pile of data, leaving players feeling only emptiness, and then they will abandon the game.

His victory took only a moment.

The moment Rushaka used Phantom Step to teleport to the back of the mount, Yanxin slashed at Rushaka with a sword. Even because Rushaka's rage ended, Yanxin still dealt 4 points of physical damage.

Up to this point, everything was very normal. Rusalka was still sighing in her heart that Yanxin was worthy of being a great knight. He was the first enemy who did not stare blankly after seeing her teleport, but took the initiative to counterattack.

Holy Light, this enemy is worth fighting!

With this in mind, he gave Yan Xin the greatest respect, and instantly switched his dual expertise to [Master of Great Weapons], activated the [Sentinel] talent to prevent the opponent from escaping from the battle, and even used the bonus action to transfer the previous "Holy Weapon" enchantment from the shield to the greatsword while swinging the sword.

And then? He severely injured the defenseless Yan Xin with a single strike of his sword, and then unleashed a Holy Ring Supreme Slash. Light burst from the blade, directly splitting him in half.

The blood all over his body was like a basin of cold water that extinguished his enthusiasm. When he wondered if he had been hypnotized like Doppo Yuchi in Baki, he discovered that a prompt that he had not noticed seemed to have just popped up in the status prompt box in the lower left corner.

【Successful deterrence】

Huh? He then remembered that he did have a passive talent that gave him a chance to stun his opponent when he was hit, but because it had never been triggered before, or because the damage number jumped to 0 too quickly when he was hit by the rain of arrows, he hadn't noticed this effect mixed in.

A great knight, and that's the end?

The spider mount under his crotch seemed to be aware of the death of its master and began to scream wildly, making a harsh noise. Rusalka was already annoyed, so she drew her sword without hesitation and chopped off the spider's head with a dragon-like move.

At this moment, the surrounding light cavalry collapsed. They even forgot to shoot arrows and fled in all directions, shouting "Second Young Master is dead".

Rusalka stood there in a daze for a few seconds, wondering if the details of his previous battle were a bit strange.

Despite the situation of the double giant weapon master hitting, combined with his own many weird talents, the blessing of the holy weapon, and the burst of the Holy Slash, if this guy were in the game, the white value damage of this sword would probably cut off about 50 blood, and if it was a critical hit, it might be around 80.

Excluding the damage offset by heavy armor, it should only be around 40 points, right?

But how could a great knight only have 40 HP? Even Phoenix was still alive after being hit by his two consecutive Holy Slash attacks, which estimated that he had lost about 50 HP.

Rusalka: (Hey, man, what's wrong with you? I haven't even started yet.)

Sanita: (That's about it. Not everyone has 81 HP at level 5. Generally speaking, a level 5 card has around 50 HP. The opponent might be level 7, but their HP cap is 70. You can just stun and hit their vital points for a critical hit, and kill them instantly. In real life, there's no such thing as rolling dice to determine a critical hit. So, where's the sharpshooter?)

Rusalka: (Oh, yes.)

He grabbed a nearby horse, rode it, and chased after Phoenix.

Hopefully the other guy isn't so boring.

----

Damn it, that great knight, the second young master, was killed in one blow. The Lord of Pearl Tears even beheaded his mount, the monster, with one sword. He was simply a monster.

I have failed in the protection mission assigned to me by the Viscount. If I go back, he will definitely not let me go. In this case, I will run away after getting rid of the pursuers. With my own abilities, I can survive anywhere. This place is very close to the country of Esdi, so I just need to run to the east.

"Damn it, he's chasing me so closely."

The sharpshooter drew her bow and shot the arrow without looking back, but the arrow turned 180 degrees in the air and flew backwards. It was as if she had eyes on the back of her head, and the arrow accurately shot at Phoenix who was jumping on the branches and chasing her.

Phoenix simply waved her hand to block the first wave of arrows. When the arrows circled back again, she did not dodge, allowing them to cut through her body.

The blood-stained arrow seemed to have completed its mission. The light on it dimmed and extinguished in an instant, and eventually turned into an ordinary dead branch and fell to the ground. Every time the arrow was turned, the sharpshooter's speed would involuntarily slow down a little.

However, even so, the distance between the two was still very different. Phoenix's blood flowed all the way in the woods. This was also a war of attrition. If she succeeded in getting close, then the archer would not be able to be the assassin's opponent in such a small space.

The reason for this situation is that Phoenix failed in her first attack. The opponent had a life-saving teleportation scroll in his hand, or had prepared a teleportation rune long ago. The moment Phoenix's figure appeared beside him, he used magic to leave the original place and distanced himself from Phoenix.

This Filin tribe is so disgusting. Anyway, Rusalka is a clumsy knight and it will take a while for her to get here, so let's get rid of her here first.

The sharpshooter turned around, took out a few daggers from his pocket and threw them at Phoenix. Then he bent his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow blurred in the air and instantly split into a rain of arrows, covering Phoenix.

Phoenix quickly waved the dagger and cooperated with the shadow to knock down the arrow. However, the archer pinched the runes in his palm, and the daggers exploded instantly. While dispersing the shadow energy, they turned into emerald green wooden thorns and pierced Phoenix.

"As expected of a race known as the Nine Lives, the Filins possess a truly tenacious vitality. Any human would have collapsed from blood loss long ago." The lightly armored sharpshooter slowly raised his longbow towards Phoenix and pulled out the final arrow, which shone with an ominous purple light, from his pocket. "Originally, I was planning to save this arrow for Lord Pearl Tear, but I've changed my mind. If you continue to pursue me, I'll kill you before leaving. I want to see if you still have the strength to take this arrow."

Phoenix looked at the arrow, a rare look of hesitation in her eyes. She whispered, "Ranger?"

"It seems living a long life has its advantages. You know quite a lot. Unfortunately, if you hadn't shown off your knowledge, I could have let you go. Now it seems I can't let you get away with this information alive." The other man bent his bow and drew his arrow, chuckled, and slowly loosened his fingers, just as he was about to release the arrow: "Go to hell."
