What did you do with the dice?

The commander said solemnly to the messenger, "It will be too late by the time those heavy cavalry charge over. We have no other weapons that can effectively counter the heavy cavalry. This distance is the optimal effective range of the magic cannon. This is a necessary sacrifice!"

The messenger gritted his teeth and went to deliver the information: "As you command."

After about ten seconds, a terrifying magical wave erupted from the rear of the military camp and instantly passed through the entire camp. A beam of colorful light directly penetrated several tents along the way and landed on the battlefield at the gate, causing a violent explosion comparable to the range of two fireballs.

Although the leading paladins had prepared and launched the Holy Shield in advance, the terrifying power made it impossible for the two knights in the center to withstand the Holy Shield. Both the knights and their horses were evaporated in an instant. The Holy Shields of the other two knights on the side were also shattered, and they suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Fortunately, none of the surrounding enemy soldiers were spared. Even though one knight was seriously injured and fell unconscious, and another's horse died, and he fell to the ground and barely stood up, there was no enemy to finish him off for the time being.

The knight who had run farther away hurriedly turned back to provide cover and shouted, "Priest!"

In terms of casualty ratio, this shot killed two heavy knights at the cost of about 20 friendly troops, and also seriously injured one and slightly injured one.

From the perspective of combat effectiveness, it is indeed a big profit.

The Patriarch led the belated infantry to the gate and rushed forward to treat the seriously injured knight who was rescued. While feeling sad for his fallen comrades, he was also somewhat glad that his group did not arrive here before the magic cannon opened fire, otherwise the casualties would probably be even more serious.

"Damn it! It's the Snidi Kingdom's small magic cannon! They actually took it down from the city walls and brought it here! Everyone, scatter and charge! The magic cannon has a cooldown of at least ten minutes before firing. Quick, quick, take this opportunity to find its location immediately. Once it's fixed, it's very difficult to dismantle. It must be in the firing position. Destroy it!"

When Sani Iron Tower saw the laser, his eyes lit up: "Damn, one shot evaporated all those Holy Light Iron lumps, great stuff! How can you guys tear this down?"

He stopped thinking about how to preserve the crossbow cart as much as possible. Instead, his brain started working rapidly, and he began to think about how to get the magic cannon.

The answer is of course...

The door panel sword directly cut down the wooden fence. Rusalka, who took the shortest distance between two points in a straight line, directly used the horse's back to kick his legs and jumped high into the air. He did not show any mercy to the warhorse that was kicked to the ground by the recoil. He fell from the air like a cannonball into the smoke arranged by the Sani Tower.

After landing, he drew his sword and slashed, cutting the frightened soldier beside him in half, along with the crossbow cart and the man himself. "Haha, here comes Galio!"

After finishing her lines and feeling happy, Rusalka realized: Uh, I accidentally chopped down a crossbow cart.

Ahem, anyway, the fog was so thick that no one saw it, so he decided not to tell Sunita about it in the private chat channel. He would just say that it was Esdi's Paladin who chopped it down and put the blame on them.

Sunita: (You came quite quickly. Where are the others?)

Rusalka, feeling a little guilty, quickly replied: (Maomao and the others are running behind us. The Viscount is really unkind. He only brought two horses for the negotiation.)

Sanita: (Two horses? What about the other horse? Did it get lost?)

Rusalka ran in the foggy area, and with a slash of his sword, he knocked down a crossbowman who tried to draw his sword to fight him after discovering him. Then he raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the crossbowman on the other side, scaring the other party so much that he abandoned his car and ran away. He did not chase him, but relied on his excellent perception to quickly push away the thick fog and ran in the direction where he felt there were people around.

As Sunita said before, if there are no friendly people in the foggy area and you are really worried about killing your own people, then add a supplementary identification mechanism: when you see the combination of "people + cars", just kill them directly.

Rusalka: (Don't even mention it. I requisitioned both horses. After all, the horse carrying me couldn't run fast and consumed a lot of energy. This warhorse was only slightly faster than me, but it kept getting slower and slower towards the end. I wanted to get off and carry it, but I had no choice but to change horses midway and continue running.

Just before I came in, I thought I saw the main gate had been blown up so badly that even the gods of the land would shake their heads. What's going on? How many experience packs are left? I can't see clearly in the fog, and I hear it seems like hand-to-hand combat has already started around me. Am I too late?

Sanita: (You've arrived just in time. The enemy has a magic cannon. It's not difficult to approach it, but I'm afraid they'll see no hope of winning and blow it up before leaving. If you have the chance, take it and we'll study it. Even if we can't build it, it's still useful. A single shot can take out two heavily armored knights. It's much more powerful than your favorite B Fireball.)

Although she had no idea what a magic cannon was, Rusalka, drawing on her extensive knowledge of novels and her understanding of Chinese characters, had deduced that it was "a cannon," and she suddenly became excited. After all, a giant steel cannon was a universally recognized romantic symbol for men: (Okay, where is it? I'll grope around in the fog.)

Sani Iron Tower: (Sorry, it's northeast of the camp, outside the fog. In a sense, you landed a little early. Since you were already here, why didn't you tell me in advance on the PL channel? Is it too much trouble to send a private message on a whim? You have to keep pretending. I really can't stand you.)

Thinking about how he not only failed to pass on the information and ended up in the wrong place, but also accidentally blew up Rusalka, a ballista he'd taken as a trophy, it was hard to keep his mouth shut. He simply apologized and changed the subject like a brother: (Fuck, I saw you said the smoke was sealed, so I wanted to quietly make a heroic entrance. This wave was indeed mine. Let's not talk about this mistake for now. I'm lost in the fog now. Male Gunner, can you please remove this smoke bomb that's blinding allies?)

Sanita: (Haha, you've already taken out five. Then you're going to deal with about fifteen ballistae at once? Do you have the confidence to kill all the ballistae operators before they can take aim? Or are you just fine with watching your teammates die? In that case, I can remove the Mist.)

Rusalka: (Okay, I'm just kidding. I'll figure it out myself.)

There is no other way, I can only rely on my feeling to find a direction that is "away from the holy light sensing of my peers" and run out first.

Chapter 65 The thief stole it

After breaking through the foggy area, Rusalka was met by a group of archers who had been ready for battle.

The commander yelled, "It's the Lord of Pearl Tears! Everyone shoot! Whoever kills him will be rewarded with 10 gold coins!"

A rain of arrows came towards him. Rusalka pulled up his mask and saw countless arrows hitting his armor and bouncing off, not hurting him at all. He felt inexplicably comfortable as if he was sitting in a comfortable car, listening to the raindrops hitting the glass outside the window.

Rusalka strode towards the soldiers, whose hands were shaking with nervousness, raised her greatsword and shouted, "I'm only worth 10 gold coins? Why are you risking your lives for such a small reward?"

What he said would definitely not destroy the enemy's morale. Preaching is useless, broken bones are the best textbooks.

The four long swords hit him but could not penetrate him at all, and Rusalka's charge and shoulder charge directly knocked the soldier in front of him away, and also knocked down a large group of people behind him.

A closer look revealed that the iron sheet on the man's chest had been dented and his chest was flattened. It was obvious that he could not be saved.

With a horizontal slash of the sword in his hand, the three soldiers who surrounded him were instantly cut in half. Rusalka kicked the upper body of one of them away, smashed the corpses like cannonballs, and launched a second charge quickly under the arrows.

Every time the giant sword in his hand is swung up and down, it will take away a life, like a god of death reaping souls.

He was alone in the army formation and was like a fish in water. On the contrary, the soldiers, out of nervousness, subconsciously shot arrows from their crossbows. Many of them hit their teammates due to lack of accuracy, causing more effective damage to friendly forces than Rusalka for a while.

After killing about a dozen people, Rusalka thrust the sword in his hand, kicked a corpse away, and shouted: "If you want to die, you can stay. If you have family members who are afraid of death, why don't you get out now?"

His approach of "giving the other party a way out" completely destroyed the morale of the team responsible for interception. Everyone turned around and fled in a hurry. How could they dare to stay and intercept Rusalka?

Rusalka also sprinted forward in their footsteps, and told Sanita her location by the way.

Sanita thought for a moment and replied: (You are heading north now. If you turn east about 16 meters, you will be fine.)

Rusalka: (Pass my order, the machine gun position moves forward 16 meters!)

Sanitta didn't bother to pay attention to him. He was now hiding in an empty tent with a single opening nearby, maintaining his concentration on the Cloud and Haze spells, guarding against assassins who might sense his location.

However, there was probably no such capable person in the military camp. If there was, he would probably have just had an encounter with Rusalka and then been recruited as a cannon soldier.

Rusalka ran with the fleeing soldiers and even ran faster than them, which made the frightened deserters feel very embarrassed.

After some people saw that Rusalka really didn't seem to be interested in them, they simply gave up and didn't run away. The tacit understanding between the enemies was subtly developed here. Everyone watched Rusalka heading towards the heart of their own military camp. Everyone wisely chose to stand aside silently and watch.

After all, Rusalka's reputation as a great knight is still very famous, and it is said that he always left people alive in battles before, and released the prisoners after they were captured. Although he killed many people, I have never heard that he killed anyone anywhere other than on the battlefield.

Many soldiers had also heard that he had even let go of the other descendants of the Ropa family, allowing them to escape to the city of Consenat. As a result, everyone lost the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

Anyway, either the magic cannon kills Rusalka with one shot, and everyone turns back to fight the enemies outside, or Rusalka simply kills his own general, and then he doesn't have to fight and can surrender naturally.

Of course, there were also a few very loyal soldiers who chose to tip off the enemy, shouting "Lord Pearl Tear is here!", and their fate was obvious - although Rusalka was on his way, he didn't mind making a small turn, running a few more steps, waving his sword, and getting some insignificant experience packs.

I told you to talk too much.

After running for about five or six minutes, Rusalka finally saw the magic cannon mounted on the platform.

The magic cannon barrel is made of crystal clear crystal, which looks colorful and charming under the sunlight. At first glance, its barrel feels more like a work of art than a battlefield weapon.

It is mounted on a heavy base buried in the ground to prevent the reaction force from blowing the body away after a shot.

Maybe, Rusalka feels that Newtonian mechanics is sometimes still useful in this world.

At this moment, the muzzle of the cannon was pointed at him, gathering magical energy. Beside the cannon stood numerous soldiers. Among them, the most dazzlingly dressed man, clad in golden armor, shouted at him from a distance, "Lord Pearl Tears, you dare to penetrate deep into our army's heartland alone? You will be buried with the Viscount with your arrogance! Fire!"

This shot was obviously fired with the same intention as before, to kill Rusalka along with the friendly troops around her. Just seeing the surrounding soldiers screaming, cursing, and scolding the commander, and some even falling to the ground with their legs going weak, their faces pale and numb, you can tell how horrified and unwilling they are at this moment.

With a deafening roar, the entire camp trembled again. The patriarchs at the gate quickly spoke to the frightened allies around them, "Don't panic! That cannon didn't hit us. The heroic Lord Pearl Tear has already led his troops behind enemy lines, and the enemy is firing at him. We must quickly eliminate the enemy and rush to support him!"

Facts have proved that reliable teammates can also bring courage to soldiers. After hearing that Rusalka had already hit the opponent's fountain, the soldiers of Esdi, who felt that their teammates were quite reliable, were also greatly encouraged. They howled and beat the enemy back step by step.

Although the morale of the surrounding soldiers was boosted, the twenty soldiers from the Pearl Tear Territory were confused:

Ah, aren't we standing right here? When did we follow the lord deep behind enemy lines?

Kaster was also dumbfounded. After stabbing the enemy in front of him in the chest with a sword, he didn't even bother to draw out the sword. He shook off the blood on the hammer and hurriedly rode a warhorse to rush forward: his lord rushed in alone, and the enemy even fired cannons. As a knight abandoned by the Holy Light because of his faith, if the master he just served died because of poor protection, he would never be able to get over this inner demon.

Hopefully I can catch up!

Custer's idea is too much, probably similar to the Sunny Tower.

Sanita: (Xiao, are you okay? One shot is estimated to deal over 100 damage, you're not going to take it head-on, are you? Answer me! Hey... Hey...!)

Rusalka: (Ahem, brother, I... am almost dying...)

Sanita was stunned for a moment, then he started cursing: (Stupid dog, you’re using the PL channel to play, right?)

Rusalka stopped pretending: (Okay, I am indeed at full health, how did you know I was pretending?)

Sanita: (First of all, your health loss doesn't affect your status. Secondly, the PL channel is a telepathic input. You still have the mood to input a cough. How can your status be bad? Whether you can scare people depends on the situation.)

Rusalka: (Brother, are you being arrogant?)

Sanita: (You can chat with me in the channel when you have time. Why don’t you tell me what’s going on here first?)

Rusalka told him what was happening.

He first swung his sword and directly cut off the head of the commander who had his back to him. With a loud shout, he forced back the surrounding soldiers who wanted to advance. He raised the head in his hand and shouted, "I have killed your leader. Now put down your weapons. I promise not to kill you!"

That's right, facing this cannon that could shatter a heavily armored paladin with a holy shield, Rusalka showed the most essential difference between himself and those paladins - are you stupid? I can teleport.

Why would you choose to confront a bulky thing head-on when you can just teleport behind it?

Of course, even if it is a head-on clash, Rusalka is not afraid at all. He only needs to catch an unlucky guy and force him to fight, and he can gain full damage resistance. Then he activates a shield spell + a pious shield + a false life (warlock), raises the shield and blocks again. Combined with his terrifying health of 81 points, he should have no problem resisting a pure magic attack with a damage of about 200.

What's more, this shot definitely did not have 200 damage. The central area could only do 100 damage at most, and the damage in the border area would decrease gradually to about 30 points at least. Otherwise, the two knights on the edge would not have survived.

If you are lucky enough to activate a passive ability that you have learned but forgotten, then you will have nothing to worry about.

But why make it so complicated when it can be solved by dodging with a phantom step? Besides, Rusalka doesn't really like equipment explosions. If his level 3 armor is damaged by artillery fire, he will have no place to cry.

Facts have proved that a wizard who can teleport is already a pinnacle existence that most forces in the world fear, and a paladin who can teleport is completely beyond the knowledge framework of everyone here. When the commander was looking at the huge pit with no survivors and was still immersed in the joy of blowing Rusalka into pieces with one shot, he was ambushed by Rusalka from behind and beheaded.

In some ways, Rusalka's teleportation is even stronger than Phoenix's. There is no cooldown or teleportation adaptation period after he lands. Even if there is, it is because of the switching perspective.

As a senior game enthusiast, Rusalka is naturally very good at playing FPS games, and he can do sniping shots easily. Therefore, switching perspectives only takes him about half a second to adapt, which is a true low-time-difference teleportation attack.

This is understandable. After all, apart from the limitation on the number of uses caused by the ring position, the second-ring teleportation spell Phantom Step, which is "instant + no release conditions + can be used with a bonus action", is indeed recognized as the strongest early and mid-term Paladin-exclusive functional spell in the entire DND. This is the same in any version, and this is even more so in reality.

Rushaka killed all the enemy commanders. For the soldiers outside who were still unaware, as long as Rushaka arrived at the gate and joined them, the only thing left on the battlefield would be the finishing work of hunting down deserters.

Of course, Rusalka loved this scorching magic cannon, but the artilleryman next to him was very stubborn. He took out a red explosive crystal as a cannonball and planned to detonate it along with the cannon. Before crushing the crystal, he even shouted, "Fellow countrymen who still have a shred of courage, light your arrows and shoot at the magic cannon. This magic cannon must not fall into the hands of the enemy!"

So Rusalka smiled, put the sword behind her back in front of him, threw away the shield in her hand, grabbed the base with both hands, and forcibly pulled up the turret that was already fixed on the platform, directly cracking the stone ground.

Afterwards, he used the Phantom Step to instantly move out of the blast range of the exploding crystal, and then ran away quickly, carrying the cannon that was five or six times larger than his own and weighed about one ton.

If you want to give it a sense of déjà vu, it's almost like a person carrying a pickup truck and running a 50-meter sprint.

Rusalka admitted that the thing was a bit heavy and made him feel like he was back in the summer of his childhood.

I still remember that I had just started high school at that time, and I happened to be visiting relatives, so I helped my family bring some fruits. So I carried two big watermelons in my left and right hands and walked up the stairs to the fourth floor.

It’s unlikely that you’re not tired, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that you’re very tired.

The most difficult part at that time was not the weight, but the fear that the watermelon would be accidentally broken by the steps, so I didn't dare to run up with big strides. My hands were hurt by the plastic bag, so I could only walk up two floors and rest for a while.

Now this cannon is not afraid of cracking, and it won’t hurt if you hold it in your palm. On the contrary, you will have a lot of luck. Generally speaking, that’s it.

Why are you all looking at me like that? Haven't you ever helped carry things at home since you were little? Haven't you learned how to carry heavy objects?

The soldiers around had their mouths wide open enough to fit a few eggs in, and were so shocked that they forgot to stop Rusalka.

It turns out that not only is the turret not impossible to move, it can even be stolen by a thief with 20 strength.

Chapter 66 Pursuit of victory

Rusalka's actual combat research showed that, compared to carrying the commander's head in one's hands and trying to persuade them to surrender, carrying a magic cannon on one's shoulder and walking towards the enemy's base camp would obviously cause the enemy's morale to collapse faster.

Not only did the infantry regiment on the Viscount's side decisively drop their weapons and surrender, but if several leaders on Esdi's side had not recognized Rusalka and exchanged greetings with him, the soldiers on Esdi's side would probably have wanted to surrender as well - after all, Rusalka came out from the opposite side carrying this thing, and the big hole on the ground was still fresh, and with a guy who could carry this thing on the opposite side, who wouldn't be scared?

Rusalka put the turret on the ground, and a big hole was smashed on the ground, which made the people around him eyelids twitch.

He pointed at the magic cannon and said, "Let me make it clear first, this thing is my trophy, it belongs to me."

Not to mention the three patriarchs and Knight Ono, even Sarolt, who had just arrived, nodded quickly when he saw how fierce Rusalka was. He thought to himself, not to mention that this was something you seized, so it should belong to you. Besides, you have already done this, why would we want to snatch it from you?

Now they all agreed that what was said before about the Lord of Pearl Tears being a young wild holy warrior was absolute nonsense. He must be an old monster who had been living in seclusion in Esdi for many years, and his real identity was actually the secret subordinate of the Great Saint.

People like him, coming to the Kingdom of Snidi to "inherit" the Pearl Tear Territory and become a noble of the kingdom, is actually part of the plan of the Great Saint. No wonder she asked her own troops to cooperate with him. It turns out that the phrase "try to protect his safety" does not mean "he needs protection", but means to let this group of people "try to find opportunities to protect him".

Sarolt couldn't figure out why such a ruthless person needed protection. Putting aside the already rich and pure Holy Light within him, judging from his sheer strength and the way he casually swung his greatsword with one hand, he must be at least on par with Sarolt. It was hard to say who would protect whom.

Of course, he slightly misjudged Rusalka's strength. After all, if we look at it purely from the perspective of the attribute panel, he is actually far inferior to Rusalka.

升级能带来的属性增益极少，开卡几乎就决定了一种生物这辈子的属性范围，像鲁莎卡这种不讲道理的20、20、20、20、18、5的开卡，就决定了他和正儿八经的人形或者类人形生物大概都不在一个基因序列上。

Even giant dragons don't necessarily have such abnormal physical attributes as his when they are young.

However, the level of Rusalka Knight is very low, only level 5, and level 1 is the level of a warlock, that is, a level 4 paladin + a level 1 warlock.

Being low level also has its own weaknesses. There are fewer rings, the magic level that can be used is low, and the combat methods are relatively simple.

Rusalka is still at the stage where spells can only serve as an auxiliary, and close combat is the main means of output. It is still a little troublesome to deal with some highly mobile mage units that have magic-type physical barriers.

After all, if an ordinary person encounters Rusalka and is hit by the sword, he will basically die instantly, and there is no need to use the Holy Slash. If a strong person encounters Rusalka, although he can use the Holy Slash to penetrate the opponent's powerful vitality, it is basically unlikely that a strong person or a high-level magician will be hit or have their defense penetrated, except for the first time using the Phantom Step to teleport and attack to create an information gap. Rusalka has few opportunities to use the Holy Slash.

Perhaps only when his level goes up, his abilities are gradually unlocked, and he gains more new magic and skills, the 524 basic attributes plus the 5-fold bonus attributes of the upgrade will truly show the fangs of "exponential strength growth".
