What did you do with the dice?

"I wonder who dares to touch my cat who earns 80 gold coins a year!"

With a loud shout, Rusalka flashed between the two sides with a phantom step.

The elf was horrified. Of course, this expression was imagined by Rusalka because he was wearing a mask. However, this did not prevent him from immediately retracting the bow that had already been strung. He quickly took out a rune and crushed it. It seemed that he was going to use the same trick to escape again.

How could Rusalka let her get away? She pointed at her and shouted, "Forced to fight!"

A golden light flashed on the opponent's body, and with the prompt [Immunity Failed], the opponent was horrified to find that the rune he crushed had no effect.

Sanitta: (Forced duel? Didn't you maintain the Holy Weapon enchantment? Do you have dual focus talents? I don't remember you having them.)

Rusalka: (I spent 10 mana points specifically to enhance this first-level spell, removing the Concentration property and then strengthening its effect. During the duel, I can't attack other targets. As compensation, I have full resistance to damage from other sources, and neither side can take any action to move away from each other.)

Sanita: (Enhancing a first-level spell? You really have too many spells and nowhere to use them.)

Rusalka: (Now, it is no longer the useless original "Forced Duel". I call it "Death Match".)

The sharpshooter wanted to jump backwards, but she felt as if she was blocked by an invisible wall. Her body could not move back even a little bit. She shot arrows behind her, but the arrows did not touch any visible or invisible objects.

This strange phenomenon horrified her so much that even her tone became sharp: "What did you do?"

Rusalka took off his helmet, revealing an "evil" smile, and recited the lines: "Huh? You knew the secret of my double, but you didn't choose to run away but walked towards me?"

"Try this, you bastard!"

The other party did not understand Rusalka's bad joke, but became angry and shot the purple arrow at Rusalka.

Rusalka raised her shield to block, shouted "Shield", deployed the barrier, switched her expertise, and gave enough face to the opponent who seemed to be using his ultimate skill.

As expected, the arrow pierced through the shield, broke through the barrier, and then pierced Rusalka's body directly. It spun for a full five seconds, and finally fell to the ground with a thud, as if realizing that it was powerless.

-10, the white value is very low.

But seeing that five or six prompts of immunity to abnormal status popped up in succession in his view, Rusalka admitted its value. It was probably because it contained some cocktail toxin that could kill instantly upon seeing blood, plus some special effects of breaking magic and armor and automatic tracking, so that this arrow would draw blood upon being shot, and that would kill instantly upon seeing blood, so it was called a killer move.

But I'm sorry, I have noble immunity to poison, immunity to mental effects, extremely strong resistance to abnormal states, strong resistance to burns and other negative states. If you calculate the probability by rolling the dice, Rusalka's lowest probability of immunity to abnormal states is 70-80%, and extremely strong resistance is 90%.

This is the overly powerful way to open cards for role-playing players who are afraid of abnormal status. Data and other things are actually secondary. Immunity is the noblest attribute. After all, each person can only move once per round. If the immunity fails and they cannot move, it is too deadly in the desktop role-playing game. Even if they can deal 100 million damage in a round, the immunity will only return them to zero.

If it is a legendary group above level 10, the boss will have legendary actions every round, and there will be several immunity judgments to pass in the nest every round. A team with a complete lineup will feel embarrassed to attack monsters before the resistance is stacked to +7 (20-sided dice, number +7), otherwise someone will be AFK every round, and who can stand it.

As for poison, I don't know why, but in the DND game, poison and fire are the most common dot attributes (continuous damage). No matter what dungeon you are in, it's a good idea to first choose poison/fire resistance.

Seeing that Rusalka was unharmed, the other party gave up resistance completely, put his bow behind his back, took off his mask, raised his hands and said, "Wait a moment, respected Lord Pearl Tear, I surrender. I am willing to submit to you. I will do anything, please don't kill me."

A very beautiful blonde elf with pretty face, clear features and blue eyes appeared in front of Rusalka. She had tears in her eyes and looked so pitiful.

Rusalka nodded, much to the other party's relief.

The next moment, Rusalka used up her last Phantom Step ring, and blood and holy light flashed together.

uninteresting.

"Goodbye! If you want to blame someone, blame Brother Fei for his combat order: 'Leave no one alive, Commander.'" Rusalka kicked the other's severed head away, put the greatsword on her back, and added in a low voice only she could hear: "On the other hand, who told you to bully my cat? I spent 10 points to make her. Only I can chop her up.

Besides, while elves are certainly good, you're out of date in the world of comics, old man! Now is the era of Fury fans. Although Phoenix is ​​probably not Fury, I'm not a Fury fan either, but being a fan of animal-eared girls is almost the same, we're all one family..."

Sanita: (Brother, what are you talking about? The battle isn't over yet. Instead of making an XP declaration, why don't you hurry back to hunt down the remaining enemies? You can say whatever you want after the battle is over.)

Rusalka: (Huh? How can you hear me talking to myself? Are you secretly following me?)

Sanita: (I'm really impressed. Didn't you listen to me last time? The PL channel will record our conversation in real time. Now is combat time, I will definitely keep an eye on the record.)

Rusalka: (Yes, you were the one who eavesdropped on me. You can’t blame me for saying dirty talk.)

Sanita: (I don't blame you, I just hope you can quickly take Phoenix back. Knight Ono has already brought some reinforcements, and the enemy clearly still has a commander alive. Right now, we really need two high-level fighters to chase down the enemy troops fleeing in the other direction, and by the way, take out the last commander, okay?)

Rusalka: (Huh? The cat is already so injured, and you let her go back to fight. Are you still human, brother?)

Sanita: (Where's your Holy Heal? Just give it to her. It won't matter as long as she's not dead. Have you forgotten? Every time after defeating a boss, every vein in your teammates' bodies is filled with holy light, and there's not a single drop of blood left in their health bars.)

Rusalka: (Brother, this is different. They call it cruel, we call it efficient. Sit-ups with low health are a must-try for every gamer.)

Sani Tower: (You know why you don’t go now?)

Rusalka replied helplessly: (Okay, I will go and squeeze the surplus value of the cat.)

He turned around and gave Holy Healing to Phoenix, who was sitting next to him and had already started healing herself.

"Sister, ugh." Rusalka slapped herself. Seeing Phoenix's slightly puzzled look, she put her hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. I'll heal you."

Phoenix nodded.

Holy healing is indeed the most efficient means of treatment. Rusalka filled Phoenix's body with healing in one breath, leaving more than half of the pool. After the treatment, only 10 healing points were left, and Phoenix became brand new. Apart from the tattered clothes on her body, there was no sign of injury at all.

When Rusalka was still struggling with how to coax her back, Phoenix took the initiative and said, "I'll go clean up the rest."

After saying that, she ignored Rusalka's opinion, jumped back habitually, and disappeared into the shadows a second later.

It feels a bit pitiful.

Sanita: (Brother, Phoenix has gone back, why are you still standing there? Planning to write a poem?)

Rusalka: (Brother Fei, something's wrong. I came here to fight, but why do you make me feel like I'm here to plant cotton for you? When we get back, will you still hold the whip and tell me that I'll get 100 lashes just for landing?)

Sanita: (I only know that if you don't go, and the remaining commander escapes, no matter how many Nihils the Pearl Tear Lords send, it will be too late to save the situation.)

Rusalka curled her lips, turned around to look for the warhorse she had ridden and tied to the side, then climbed on it and urged it back.

Chapter 48: Post-War Ending

If at this time, the light cavalry squad still had a backbone to hold the formation together and let everyone escape outside the camp to regroup, in the open plain area without tents and obstacles, no infantry would dare to face the attack launched by the cavalry.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world. The person who was appointed as the deputy captain was killed by Phoenix after he took out the bugle and blew the assembly and retreat orders. No wonder he died the fastest. I don’t know who stipulated that the person with the highest rank is destined to dress differently from other soldiers. Although this makes it easier for friendly forces to identify and protect targets, it is also easy for the enemy to achieve the action of "capture the leader first".

Sanita no longer concealed the fact that he could use magic. He cast a fireball that shattered the courage of the cavalrymen in front of him who still wanted to fight back.

When the enemy no longer wanted to resist, they would send a cloud of daggers onto the main road, cutting off the cavalry's escape route.

Next comes the simplest flaming arrow. If you see a hard point, reward him with a few scorching rays.

This scene of continuous and instantaneous spell casting like a machine gun made the other party mistakenly believe that Sanitieta was a senior wizard, so they ran away even faster and did not have the slightest thought of resisting.

Everyone only felt that there were countless deadly spells whizzing past, and their comrades fell to the ground and wailed in the flames. The "archmage" in front of them kept changing the spells in his hands, and the elemental power was switched at will in his hands like plasticine, sometimes it was fire, sometimes it was ice, and there was even poison gas and lightning. Even if there were brave enough to dare to approach, the other party would raise his hand and release a large amount of thunder to knock them away.

In fact, they are all tricks. They look intimidating, but they don't cause much damage. As long as you are not hit in the vital parts, you will not die even if you take a few hits.

What they didn't know was that a single volley or a few arrows would send him running for cover. However, on a battlefield without a commander, no one wanted to risk their own life to make some extremely low-probability suicide attempts.

While Sanita was using the magic table to cast an instant cantrip spell, he was also using his double concentration talent to chant the unique magic of this world: Iron Guiding.

He also wanted to try to comprehend the magic of the two worldviews, or the two rule systems, to see if he could perform a combo to make 1+1 greater than 2.

After finally waiting for the damn two minutes of chanting to end, Sanita stretched out his hand and drew magic runes in the air. The runes moved the moment the drawing was completed, twisted and condensed, and finally turned into a sphere, pulling in all magnetic substances with a mass of no more than 5kg within a radius of 30 meters. After absorbing a total of 500kg of objects, it lost its effect.

Horseshoes, arrows, hidden weapons, daggers, iron supports of nearby tents, etc. were all absorbed by this small ball, which made Sani Iron Tower, who had already taken on the mage armor and false life, feel a lot more at ease. It is unlikely to use this magic to disarm other people's equipment, but it is unexpectedly a good spell to defend against ordinary flying props on the battlefield.

When Rusalka rushed back, he saw the cloud of daggers released by Sanita. He immediately abandoned his warhorse that dared not move forward, leaped into it with a leap of faith, and came out from the other side using the shortest route.

A turtle shell has its own advantages. The Dagger Cloud looks scary, but in fact its damage rating is very low, and its lethality to the natives is also very limited. Anyone wearing light armor will not be injured, and Rusalka is even less likely to be hurt.

Rusalka watched as the dagger on her body was attracted to the ever-growing iron ball. She pulled her somewhat restless shield and walked in front of Sanita. "Master, we've dealt with this area. We can't catch up with the others who escaped."

Sanita: "Not bad. Including Ono's side, I estimate that the total number of enemies killed this time is about 45. A great victory."

Rusalka was a little surprised: "Only 45 people? I killed five at the start."

Sanitieta rolled his eyes at him. "In a cold weapon battlefield, casualties are always highest at the beginning of the fight. What about later? Including the enemy's heavy knights and sharpshooters, you only killed seven enemies in the entire battle."

Rusalka: "One elite unit is worth ten. Report more of your military merits to me, and I'll give you some of the good equipment from the treasury later."

Sanita: "It's useless for you to report more military achievements. This is not a game where there are post-battle rewards. Please, you are the one who gives out rewards now. What's wrong? Are you planning to reward yourself?"

Rusalka: "Indeed, if I don't roll the dice to open the treasure house, I feel like I'm losing motivation all of a sudden."

Sanita: "Okay, stop dreaming and go meet up with Knight Ono and the others."

----

After the final settlement, there were no other casualties except for the four people among the 10 people brought by Rusalka who were unfortunately exposed after setting the fire at the beginning and were discovered by the enemy and died.

After all, when Ono led his troops to arrive, the morale of the light cavalry had collapsed due to the sudden death of their commanders and generals. The fire obscured their vision, half of the horses fled, and without anyone to command them, they were like headless flies. Therefore, Ono's side did not encounter any decent resistance.

It was also because of this that the original estimate of 45 people killed by Sanita was that there were only 32 people in the end, minus Rusalka's 7, Mao Mao's 14, 4 (horsemen) + 3 (after setting fire) + 7 (after turning back), Sanita's 8 (4 killed by Fireball, 1 by Scorching Ray, 1 killed by the Dagger Cloud who scared the horse, 2 by Magic), 2 by Custer, and 1 for the other light infantry.

Oh, yes, and including those 10 unlucky guys at the mine, Cat killed 24 enemies in total. You say six of them were innocent? Go, dress them in enemy clothing and give them a proper burial.

Cats are really cruel, Rusalka thought.

Dahuo and the subsequent Ono's cavalry regiment inflicted a lot of casualties on the enemy, but killed 0 enemies. They did not kill any of them. After the enemy dropped their weapons and surrendered, they really stopped killing.

They even treated the prisoners after the war. When Sanita's gaze drifted to several Bronze Knights recruits who were squatting in a circle not far away and taking turns treating the prisoners lying on the ground, Ono's face turned pale in an instant.

He smiled awkwardly at Rusalka, then turned around and shouted with a dark face, "What are you bastards doing squatting there? If the prisoner of war isn't going to die, then don't just squat there. Are you planning to heal him and send him back? Hurry up and clean up the battlefield and capture all the nearby war horses, or you won't have any food tonight!"

Several recruits hurriedly stood up and saluted, then dispersed and began to go nearby to pick up equipment and lead horses.

"My lord, please forgive me. They have never seen the world or the battlefield. I'm really sorry. Of course, we didn't contribute much in this battle. All the spoils belong to you." Ono said to Rusalka.

Rusalka wanted to be polite to him, but the recent financial problems of the Pearl Tear Territory were not optimistic, so there were no conditions for being polite. Since Ono was so proactive, he could only accept it with a smile.

Phoenix slowly walked over from a distance, her body covered in blood. In front of Rusalka, she threw away the dagger in her hand that had been cut to a point of bending, and walked to the weapon hill formed by the "iron ball ruins" of the Sani Iron Tower.

She squatted on the ground and picked and chose for a long time, but it seemed that she still couldn't find a suitable weapon.

The sight of her looking like a stray cat rummaging through a garbage dump was too pitiful. Rusalka couldn't bear to watch it, so she walked over and handed her two valuable weapons hidden in her armor that she had taken out of her family's treasure house.

Phoenix took the dagger and swung it slightly, causing her ears and tail to sway.

Although her expression didn't change and she didn't say anything, Rusalka felt that she exuded an "aura" of satisfaction.

Rusalka: (Brother, do you think this is what we call telepathy, mutual understanding?)

Sanita: (Feeling? Hallucination!)

Then the dagger in Phoenix's hand was covered by black ripples and disappeared, probably because of her ability to store weapons.

After picking up the new weapon, her figure disappeared into the shadows again. Now Rusalka probably knew why she could never be found in the Pearl Tear Villa. Perhaps most of the time when she had nothing to do, she was squatting in the shadow plane, silently observing the cat in the main plane like a ruthless cat.

Sanita watched the entire episode from beginning to end and said to Rusalka in the private chat channel: (I think Phoenix is ​​actually quite bad.)

Rusalka: (Little Kitty doesn't have any bad intentions. At least her damage from my Holy Slash doesn't double.)

Sanita: (Her alignment is Lawful Neutral. After all, she has a very persistent goal, but she's not to the point of using any means to achieve it. She can also fulfill the agreement with you. Actually, I originally thought she should be Lawful Evil.

Of course, this is not important, because when I said bad, I didn't mean her camp.)

Rusalka: (What do you mean?)

Sanitieta: (Did you really not notice or are you pretending to be dumb? She obviously did it on purpose. The dagger just happened to break at the end? How could it be such a coincidence?

Besides, she had killed ten people in the mine before, and her clothes were all clean. There was no reason for her to make herself so messy now. A cat's life is like a play, it's all acting.)

Rusalka: (Huh? Damn, just to trick me into giving you two daggers, huh? Good grief, I'll make a note of it.)

Sanita: (Ah? This... you... Well, indeed, you are right. She wants to drop your equipment.)

Rusalka: (Tsk, brother, you're so mean! Why didn't you warn me earlier? Those two daggers of mine must be uncommon +1 daggers, right? These are the goodies from my treasury, and they were tricked away by a pitiful cat. Oh, I really regret it. Is it too late to ask her to return them now?

Also, I have to say something about you. Do you know what a brother is for? A brother is there to remind me when I'm doing something stupid. Look at you, a brother is derelict in his duty, so I'll deduct your head.)

Sani Tower: (6.)

Chapter 49 Meeting Minutes

Clown had been having trouble sleeping and eating in recent days. When he first arrived in Ropa Town, he was very proud. Because of the care of Rusalka and Ono, he received very good private reception, lived in the most expensive hotel in Ropa Town, enjoyed three free meals a day, and there were special people to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. He was also given a lot of town specialties.

It would not be bad if such days could continue forever, but the good times did not last long. After less than a week, the town of Luopa was completely blocked and under martial law.

The civilians might have been a little uneasy, but Clown was obviously more frightened than the civilians. He asked around and learned the news that the town was attacked by foreign enemies with almost no effort.

Was that all? Aren't they just the remnants of the Ropa family, or perhaps some other descendants who managed to escape, leading a few stragglers and mercenaries? The wars of the minor nobles often had nothing to do with the merchants. As long as the fighting in the central government didn't spread to the small town, Clown wouldn't panic at all.

He looked at the anxious townspeople and even wanted to laugh. Everyone was worried about their own future, but he could sit back and relax. It felt so good to be the boss of the Chamber of Commerce.

As expected, the clouds of war dispersed before they had time to gather over the town. When he went out today, he heard the good news that the Pearl Tear Territory had successfully annihilated the invaders and was planning to hold a celebration in the town.

Even Crown found it ridiculous that those idiot invaders were defeated after only three days of fighting. This was the ugly face of a loser struggling to survive.

If they affected this crucial transaction of his, they would be guilty of a capital crime and would be hanged in the center of the town for seven days and seven nights to vent their anger.

Fortunately, Rusalka did not break his promise because of this "little war". He sent someone to tell Crown that in order to cover up his tracks, he would make a deal with him during the celebration in the town.

Oh, by the goddess of fortune, those are such lovely enemies, sacrificing themselves to make their own deal, more selfless than the sheep on the farm.
