What did you do with the dice?

Seeing that his good brother began to evade the question vaguely, Rusalka became more and more suspicious that the two of them were planning to work together to play a prank on him. He then "saw through" their conspiracy in a smart way, and of course refused to be the first person to "test the poison" no matter what.

Want to make fun of me who is so smart all day? I will let them suffer the consequences, Rusalka thought.

Damn, IQ is 5. Sanita thought.

In the end, the mediator, no, it was Sanita who reluctantly and tactfully said that Rusalka had no other intentions, she was just embarrassed to eat alone, and wanted Phoenix, the producer, to eat first, and she was just not good at expressing herself.

When Rusalka was very satisfied with his brother's eloquence of "tricking Phoenix into testing the poison first" and repeatedly praised Sanita's eloquence in the private chat channel, Phoenix reached out and ate the first piece.

Now Sanitta finally understood why Rusalka was reluctant to eat the biscuits. He had nothing to say and could only respond with "nb".

Seeing that Phoenix didn't seem to react after eating, Rusalka carefully picked up a biscuit and tasted it. Phoenix had an icy face, so she might not reveal any flaws. She would eat a little bit and throw it away if the taste was not right.

If the taste is okay, you don't have to worry about it since you are resistant to toxins.

After eating the whole biscuit and confirming that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, Rusalka felt deeply puzzled.

Of course, even though she didn't quite understand what trap they had set for her, Rusalka didn't forget to let Sanita have some as well.

In the end, the three of them enjoyed the cookies together in silence.

Although cookies are just cookies and not as delicious as those freshly baked at home, Rusalka felt very happy after eating them and felt that she could muster up the energy to kill a few more people.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Rusalka felt strange: (It’s over, I’ve become Kira Yoshikage.)

Sanita just felt very tired: (Compared to your wonderful performance just now, I think these are trivial matters.)

Chapter 63 A Successful Negotiation

Viscount Conesnat was also confused.

He once said to Rusalka with a smile at the negotiation table, "Nobles never get involved in danger themselves." However, only half a year later, Rusalka used practical actions to tear apart the self-confidence in his heart.

He led such an elite force of 500 mixed light and heavy troops, with 20 crossbow carts and even a small magic cannon. He was accompanied by two elven archers assigned to him by his superiors, an elven wizard, and the four guards and a wizard he had originally hired. Rusalka, a mere great knight, could not survive more than half a minute in front of such a lineup.

He had three automatically activated barrier amulets hanging on his body, and the armor on his body was an enchanted soft gold armor worth three thousand gold coins. Even if he was bombarded by a large city-defending magic cannon, he could withstand two shots without dying. With such protection, he had no reason to feel unsafe.

So, do you want to talk to Rusalka?

Just as Rusalka received his letter, she also received a letter from Esdi. In addition to Rusalka's reply, Viscount Consenatus actually had a letter from the Marquis.

The Marquis meant to make him choose between "getting rid of Rusalka directly" and "staying in the city of Consenat" and his implication was that he would rather give up the face and honor of the nobility and choose the latter to become a coward.

The one covered in dust was the family emblem of Consentnat. The Marquis certainly didn't care, so Viscount Consentnat chose to bring his most capable 500 elite infantrymen to the Whitemay territory. Since he was carrying some heavy weapons, his speed was certainly not as fast as Rusalka's, so when he was about one kilometer away from Whitemay Manor, he signaled the troops to stop and sent messengers and spies to explore the way first.

The information returned was as expected. Baron Whitemy had now spinelessly chosen to hand over the manor, so it was Rusalka who controlled the villa. In other words, if a war were to break out, Rusalka, who had occupied the manor first, would have a slight geographical advantage over himself - at least the iron fences and chevaux de frise at the gate of the manor were definitely not there from the beginning.

However, Rusalka was very frank. He only brought three people with him to negotiate, and even seemed to show his sincerity. Even the mage's staff member did not come with him.

Viscount Consenat rarely failed to behave like a gentleman. He brought eight guards, plus himself, a total of nine people sitting together in this makeshift pavilion. Of course, this was after the two wizards confirmed that there were no magic runes in the pavilion.

Afterwards, except for a mage and two sword and shield knights who followed him, the other five people surrounded the pavilion. The archer raised his longbow and aimed at Rusalka's head without mercy. The other three also took out long-range weapons such as crossbows and aimed at the three people beside Rusalka.

Of course, Ono and Sarolt were not nervous, and Orlean, as the female patriarch, was no exception. In their words, they had seen much worse situations than this.

Rusalka was gifted and had infinite courage. He sat down opposite Viscount Consenat very confidently, separated from him by a stone table.

In the end, Custer was not used because Rusalka felt it would be a pity if Custer died as bait, so he volunteered and decided to do it himself.

Rusalka: (Didn't I forget what abilities I had on my card? I recently recalled and researched it, and it seems I have a few special moves.)

How many special moves does he have? That's 524 points of confidence.

Sanitta felt that there was no reason for him to be murdered by the Viscount, so he agreed.

Rusalka briefly exchanged an OK sign with Sanita on the PL channel and said with a smile, "Hello again, Viscount Consenat, nice to meet you."

Viscount Conesnat was a very calm man. Even in such a tense and hostile situation, he still maintained his most basic demeanor and returned the greeting to Rusalka, "Nice to meet you, Knight Pearl Tear."

However, the title here is obviously very unfriendly. After all, before the title of Grand Knight, Rusalka had the titles of "Baron" and "Lord", but here he is directly called "Grand Knight", which means that Rusalka is no longer recognized as a nobleman under his command.

Rusalka threw the greatsword behind her back aside and raised her hands, appearing to be completely neutral. "Actually, I know this peace negotiation isn't going to be easy. So, I have only one request. If you meet it, I won't advance. Of course, this request isn't particularly burdensome; it can even be considered a simple message. It requires very little cooperation from you; it's quite simple."

Viscount Concenutt was puzzled by Rusalka's unusually friendly attitude. He thought of many reasons and replied, "What is the request?"

Rusalka: "During my last negotiation with Lord Ropa, there was something I'd always wanted to say, but I kept it to myself until the very end. I feel a little regretful. If I don't say it today, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it again in the future, so I'd like you to be a witness."

Viscount Conesnat raised an eyebrow. "I suppose you're wondering why, even though I clearly favored Lord Roper, I offered you conditions that day that only benefited you?"

Rusalka hadn't thought of this, so she shook her head.

Viscount Conesnat leaned forward slightly. "Oh? Then I don't know. Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Rusalka wanted to say, "Why don't you answer your own question first?" But, believing that looking cool was more important than the truth, she leaned back in her chair, half-lying down lazily, and gave Viscount Concenutt a disdainful smile. "I want to ask: Do you know for whom the tears of the Pearly Lament were shed?"

Before Viscount Consent could react, Rusalka's crotch bounced, and her entire lower body flew out from under the table towards Viscount Consent. This move prevented Viscount Consent and the people around him from reacting in time. By the time they realized that Rusalka had launched an attack, the spurs of Rusalka's boots under the table had already pierced Viscount Consent's ankle, which was not protected by armor.

Rusalka laughed and said, "Viscount, how much blood do you have?"

The second ring of the Holy Slash is activated!

The runes on the Viscount's body didn't even light up, and the blazing holy light burst out directly from his body. He was just an ordinary person, and in the face of the damage from the Second Ring Holy Slash, he turned into ashes without a sound.

This incident happened so quickly that it was not until Rukasa slid out from under the table opposite the Viscount that everyone realized what absurd thing had happened: a great knight + paladin appointed by the kingdom actually relied on a despicable sneak attack and used unknown means to instantly kill Viscount Consenat, who was covered with various protective gear!

The first thing Rusalka said after coming out from under the table wasn't to call on his teammates who were still standing there in a daze. Instead, he shouted to the elven archers at the door who had reacted very quickly and had already shot arrows at him, and to the elven mage who seemed to have prepared a spell and was about to release it, "I am from Yishihuan!"

At the moment he shouted, Phoenix's black mist had already appeared behind a ranger holding a crossbow. Before the other party could react, she swung the dagger in her hand, and the huge black mist thorn scratched the other party's neck, directly beheading the other party.

This was also the first time Rusalka saw her use a "non-cut-throat assassination" method.

Of course, the three guards around the Viscount stepped forward and swung their weapons to chop down before Rusalka stood up. However, Rusalka, who had been prepared, shouted "Shield Spell" and a shield popped out from her body, blocking the first wave of attacks and then shattered.

When the wizard was about to cast some control spell, Rusalka used her legendary move and came behind the opponent, stabbing the opponent's waist with the hidden blade that popped out of her sleeve.

Unfortunately, the opponent had mage armor, and the hidden blade could not penetrate the barrier defense. In this world, it would not be considered a hit if it did not touch the opponent's body, and the Holy Slash could not be activated, giving the opponent's mage the opportunity to use the slide spell to jump into the air and create distance.

At the same time, the elven wizard's spell was ready. She stretched out the dead branch in her hand and pointed it at Rusalka. Several huge vines broke out of the ground on the ground of the pavilion, intending to directly entangle Rusalka and everyone in the pavilion.

At this time, the three teammates who followed him started to act. Ono put his arm around Patriarch Orlean's waist and took her out of the pavilion. Sarolt was very cool and his way of dealing with it was quite handsome.

He snorted coldly, raised his boots and stomped on the ground, not only creating a pit in the stone floor, but also instantly igniting a raging golden flame around him, burning all the vines around him.

Rusalka didn't have such a cool thing, but he easily used his 20 points of abnormal strength to violently tear off all the vines on his body. However, the vines seemed to have a strong regenerative ability, and soon the new parts wrapped around him again.

Just as Rusalka was hesitating whether to waste a second ring and use the Phantom Step to teleport away before the battle, the two elven archers over there suddenly took out the familiar purple arrow, then turned the bowstrings and shot at the elven mage and the mage who had already slipped away and turned around to escape without any backbone.

After seeing the purple arrow, the elven mage showed a look of horror on his face: "You are crazy! You are betraying the Rangers! The Queen and Elune will not let you go!"

However, before he seemed to want to crush a stone at his waist, the archer took out a wooden token and pointed it at the other party. After the stone in the latter's hand shattered, it did not light up as usual to indicate the successful transmission of information, but turned into silent fragments on the ground, like an ordinary piece of glass.

It was obvious that the elven wizard's eyes were filled with despair, and he muttered the last words: "Why would Great Elder Huafalin give you the Token of Silence? This is impossible, this is impossible..."

This time, Rusalka finally saw the power of the "Breath of Nature" that she had previously despised. The arrow flew quickly to the two mages and, like poking foam plastic, easily pierced through the shields around them with a few slight cracking sounds and pierced their bodies.

The next scene was truly terrifying. The clothes around the arrows began to turn into a turbid and disgusting liquid, and along with their bodies, they turned into thick water dripping. Before their bodies were completely corroded, the colorful colors were like a plague... well, it was some kind of plague, which quickly eroded every inch of their skin.

Perhaps they were already dead the moment the arrows shot into their bodies, and then their bodies, the clothes they carried, and the precious magic props gradually turned into thick water and melted away completely in the sunlight in just about a minute.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Rusalka, the courage max, was not scared. Instead, he felt sorry for the magic props that were melted together. Those were very valuable!

After the wizard died, the vines quickly withered and turned into ashes and disappeared. The three unlucky guards who fell from the sky were chopped down by the unhappy Rusalka with a greatsword, one by one, along with their shields.

The remaining guard who was responsible for aiming outside was also easily dealt with by Phoenix - the opponent's rank was too low, and even in a head-on battle, he was obviously no match for Maomao.

It all happened so suddenly, in a flash.

From Rusalka's sudden attack to kill Viscount Consenat, to Phoenix's action, to the archer's betrayal and destruction of the wizard, and finally to the annihilation of all the surrounding guards, this series of incredibly smooth battles only took a total of 3 minutes.

Although one round in dnd is 6 seconds and the village rule is 10 seconds, it should not take 18 rounds to kill 8 people, but combat in real life is not turn-based.

Generally speaking, according to the nature of this place, if two great knights fight each other, even if they give up most of the unnecessary defenses, it will take at least 5 minutes to determine the winner.

Sarolt, who had only caused effective damage to the floor throughout the whole process, realized that what Rusalka had said before, "I alone am enough", seemed to be no exaggeration.

Sarolt didn't care much about the rebellion of the elven archer. After all, this was someone the saint cared about, so it was normal for him to have some connections and background.

The only thing that concerned him was where did that Filin tribe come from?

It was not until Phoenix took action that Sarolt was surprised to realize that he had not noticed the other party's existence, although he had heard from Ono before that Rusalka had an assassin with "strong stealth skills" who used the power of dark elements.

But at that time, he thought that Ono, a member of the Star Knights, was not good enough, but he did not expect that in fact her hiding skills were so strong that even he, the captain of the left wing of the angels, could not find her.

Moreover, a paladin is followed by an assassin who uses the power of "dark elements", and coupled with the recent activity of the Church of the Seven Sins, this combination makes it difficult for people not to have some unwarranted associations.

Although he had some doubts about Rusalka in his heart, Sarolt quickly suppressed the idea.

He is a loyal paladin. His purpose of coming this time is just to carry out the mission from the great saint. He only needs to be responsible for protecting Rusalka. As for who Rusalka is and what her background is, it has nothing to do with him, and he has no reason to meddle in other people's affairs and risk the responsibility of disobeying orders.

The two elven archers glanced at Rusalka, then stood five meters away and responded, "Hello, respected Lord Pearl Tear, we are subordinates of the Earth Angel."

"You're from Silver Leaf, right? I see." Rusalka nodded.

Seeing that Rusalka knew the code name of their team so well, the two rangers completely put their minds at ease about him and turned their vigilant eyes to the two paladins and the patriarch who were standing awkwardly on the side.

Rusalka understood what they meant and whispered, "We're all family. Don't worry, I'm about to order a general attack. You guys can escape while I take advantage of the chaos. I'll dispose of all your bodies, and the battle reports here will show you both as dead."

The two rangers from Silver Leaf nodded and turned away without hesitation.

Rusalka: (Dongyao Dongyao, I'm Dongguai, I'm Dongguai, the Deng hunting operation went smoothly, Lao Deng has been killed, please reply if you get it, please reply if you get it.)

Sanita sighed. Since Rusalka was so helpful, he played along for a bit: (Dongguai Dongguai, Dongyao received, Dongyao received. The entire army is ready and awaiting instructions.)

Rusalka: (Okay, everyone, bayonets fixed, ready to charge!)

Chapter 64 Melee

At this time, Sani Tieta was riding on a warhorse in the army, holding the flute across his lips and playing it. A halo spread from his body, covering the troops behind him who were ready to attack.

After hearing Rusalka give the charge order on the PL channel, he raised his head and looked at the sky.

After waiting for about a few dozen seconds, he came to his senses and cursed directly in the private chat channel: (Did you forget the agreement you made with the Patriarch to send a signal flare after the task was completed?)

Rusalka: (eh?)

Well, he should have guessed it earlier. After all, it was said before that Rusalka would be very efficient at the beginning, but would always fail somewhere in the end due to carelessness.

Rusalka was so engrossed in the killing that she forgot about it. Then she remembered the promise she had made before setting out. She quickly pulled out a rocket-like object from her waist and shouted into the void beside her, "Phoenix, please come over here and help me inject some magic power into this thing."

Black mist emerged around Rusalka and wrapped around the small rocket.

I saw several red magic bullets flying into the air, exploding into several brilliant fireworks in the air.

Another Patriarch, Nicea, who remained in the team, saw the signal flare in the air, took out a horn from his waist, and blew it suddenly. The shouts were accompanied by the sound of the infantry running through the grass.

"All Knights, respond to the call of the God of Light and charge!"

Sanitta really wanted to slap the heavy cavalryman who was leading the charge on the back of the head and tell him to use his brain and change the slogan.

Are you Rusalka too?

But forget it, they are probably all our own people here anyway, so I can just beat them up first and then scold them.

Sani Iron Tower and the Patriarch both gave the troops the "increased agility" buff, making the troops run very fast.

The physical fitness of people in this world is originally relatively high, and with the buff, it only takes 8 minutes to run a one-kilometer distance - this is when carrying weapons and armor.

Of course, the other side was not stupid either. They could definitely hear the sound of the horn and the large army rushing towards them with shouts of killing.

Although the Viscount was not there, most of the nobles did not come from the battlefield. Viscount Conesnat was one of them. The reason he had the command of the army was that, like his second son, the commander had to "give face to the nobles" due to rank issues.

The army's truly reliable commander was still in the barracks. Faced with this situation, he had already blown the horn and put the entire barracks into combat status.

"Lord Pearl Tear, raised by his cousin, actually launched a war without declaring war. He has no chivalry at all! It looks like the Viscount is in grave danger. Hurry, hurry, if you want to survive, get moving! Push out the crossbow carts, use wooden boxes to block the carts for cover, and aim the crossbowmen at the knights in the front and prepare to fire!"

At the moment he gave the order, a thick fog suddenly erupted at the location of the crossbow formation, directly depriving the crossbow driver of his vision and causing him to fall into great chaos. He had no way of identifying the direction and dared not run around, so he could only stand by the car and stay in place.

The cloud and fog spell was of course the masterpiece of Sani Tieta who sneaked into the military camp in stealth. And for safety, he not only used the ring spell to cast the cloud and fog spell, but also used the "smoke and dust spell" in the indigenous magic for a double insurance in casting the spell.

The material for the smoke spell is surprisingly simple and cheap: a small coal ash ball weighing 50g.

Fog can directly block vision. Although smoke and dust are not as professional as fog and mist magic in blocking vision, they can cause dust to get into the eyes of many unprepared soldiers. When wearing gauntlets on their hands, it is inconvenient to rub them. Their eyes will constantly shed tears and it will be difficult to open them.

This thing's function is just like that, but its advantage is that the casting time is short. These two magics directly destroy the crossbow cart, a powerful weapon, allowing the several mounted paladins in the front to swing their arm shields without any hindrance to deflect some stray arrows that are useless to heavy armor, and jump into the infantry camp to kill everyone.

This level of thick fog could actually be blown away by a wind spell, but unfortunately, the two mages in the camp were taken away by the Viscount with their own safety as the priority. Now no one has the ability to cast magic to dispel this fog.

At least the wind-making magic is a serious elementary magic in the indigenous magic, and the wizard apprentice who can only perform magic tricks cannot do it at all.

So when marching and fighting, you may not send mages to fight on the front lines, but there must be mages in the army.

The commander frowned at the thick fog. He knew the ballista troops were useless while the spell lasted. "The fog erupted directly in the center of the camp. The mage who cast the spell couldn't be too far away. Send assassins to locate the opposing mage! Also, send a message to the magic artillery team to immediately fire towards the southeast camp gate!"

"But General, we still have our people over there."
