What did you do with the dice?

Rusalka recalled every time she saw Theresa, and it felt like a video of an adult cosplay exhibition was playing in her head.

But putting aside her sad nature, Theresa does give people the impression of being quite lively and cheerful. She is the type of person who is easy to get along with as soon as you meet her, like a little sun that can bring hope and warmth to others.

Although the possibility that she was pretending could not be ruled out, if she could perfectly disguise the various details that were inadvertently revealed in the meeting, then Rusalka felt that the God of Truth should stand up and give her the seat.

Rusalka: (But those gods all said so...)

Sanitita: (If God is omnipotent and omniscient, how were you pulled in? Why didn't they detect the PL channel? And why hasn't our identity been exposed yet? Even you, a heretic among heretics, an atheist from the 21st century, happened to receive blessings from two gods. Do you think this makes sense?)

Rusalka nodded. After all, what Sanitieta said was right, and he had no reason to argue here.

He's just a little bit rebellious, but not that rebellious.

Sanitita: (God must have his reasons for saying this, but isn't it strange to you? Lady Shadow and the God of Truth, two people with completely different backgrounds, why did they both come to the conclusion that the Messenger of Doom must be eliminated at all costs, otherwise he will destroy the world?

Furthermore, the God of Truth also stated that the Messenger of the End is the enemy of all gods, meaning that the entire Nine Squares faction is hostile to her. This is actually completely illogical. If I were a god of the Chaotic Evil faction, I would definitely not want to kill this public enemy of the world. Instead, I would secretly cultivate her and use her characteristics to cause great chaos and destruction to the world to satisfy my own desires. After all, to Chaotic Evil, the world is just a toy, and their own happiness is the most important thing.)

Rusalka: (Indeed, now that you put it that way, it doesn't make sense for her to fight the Seven Sins Agents. The Church of the Seven Sins is the most likely to accept her. So, could she also be a time traveler? The kind who doesn't know much about DnD or group-based games, but is very adaptable to new environments. So, even though they can't recognize us, they manage to thrive in this alien world. Or maybe she's not from Earth, but an alien from another world or something like that?)

Sanita categorically rejected Rusalka's idea: (Impossible.)

Rusalka: (Why?)

Sanitita: (Do you remember why Phoenix was able to tell us her identity? If she were a time traveler, she would have known that the Eternal Plane wasn't "the only world." After hearing my conditions, she would have immediately realized that we, like her, came from another world. If she wanted to cooperate, she would have revealed her identity. If she didn't, she would never agree to this obviously flawed contract. But she didn't show any abnormality at the time, which means she must be a native.)

Rusalka was speechless. She didn't expect that Sanita had already tried to test Theresa when signing the agreement, but she was only thinking about the cat at that time.

This sense of disparity made him sigh, and he cursed in his heart: "Heroes are often tempted by beauty. Phoenix has sucked my essence and ruined my talent!" No wonder I've been feeling a little silly lately. It must be Phoenix's fault.

I felt much better after putting the blame on Phoenix.

Rusalka: (She is a native and doesn’t know about the existence of other worlds. Why would she destroy the world? Is she going to commit suicide?)

Sanitta: (This is also something I don't understand, but if we think about it from another perspective, what if the information from the gods is wrong? In other words, Theresa's goal is not actually to destroy the world, but the realization of this goal is a result that all gods cannot accept. So once Theresa achieves what she wants to do, they will definitely destroy the world themselves.

If this is the case, then from a consequentialist perspective, it makes perfect sense to say that Theresa will destroy the world.)

Rusalka: (Does she want to promote scientific values, advocate atheism, and turn this world into a second Earth?)

Sanitta: (Uh, I think your idea is great, but I'd better not think about it next time. Do you think this can be compared to Earth? The gods on Earth are man-made. At least no one has ever seen them in person, or they haven't directly appeared and influenced the world. That's why there is a basis for the development of atheism. You have seen the gods of this world with your own eyes and experienced the power of the contract, right? Even you, a non-believer who traveled through time, believe that there are gods in this world. Tell me, why can atheism develop?)

Rusalka: (Then I can't guess. What other behavior can't be tolerated by the Twelve Gods? Brother, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me directly.)

Sanita: (Excellent answer: I don’t know.)

Rusalka was speechless: (So you've been talking for so long but haven't gotten any results? Damn, I shouldn't be here listening to your bragging. I'm going to find Phoenix. Goodbye.)

Sanita: (Look, you're anxious again. I was originally talking to you about Theresa, and it has nothing to do with God. What I want to say is that no matter what Theresa does, she always has a prerequisite, which is to harvest faith. So it's not difficult to guess that what she asked Phoenix for before was the Shadow Lady's faith.)

Rusalka: (Oh, but she also said that taking this thing away wouldn't affect Phoenix. As it turns out, even if faith is taken away, the gods won't disappear or become weaker, because Phoenix's power belonging to the Lady of Shadows remains unchanged.)

Sanitita: (Yes, this is also something that confuses me. It seems that these gods exist as independent individuals, which is different from the setting of gods in most novels who need faith to exist. Therefore, their attitude towards the world seems to be quite casual. They only distribute power to believers but rarely show their faces. They also inexplicably leave the collection of faith in the hands of believers, and they don’t seem to need it themselves.

But this is not important. I said we are not discussing God. I just want to infer how many beliefs Theresa has collected now?

Rusalka snapped her fingers: (Shadow Lady, Light God, and the God of Truth. These three are the ones that can’t be ignored.)

Sanita: (Church of the Seven Sins, God of War. Although incomplete, it should be useful.)

Rusalka: (How did you deduce these two?)

Sanitta: (As we can see from Phoenix, faith is carried by "people". It will explode upon death, and can even be given away voluntarily. I think Scorpio may have some of the faith of the Seven Sins Church, and the faith of the God of War is just a guess. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Theresa knew the cause of Leo's death. If she was there, then this faith should have been obtained by her.)

Rusalka: (This guy is truly omnipresent. This means she already possesses nearly half of all types of Faith Power.)

Sanitta: (Scary, isn't it? So I infer that her purpose in intervening in the war with Sneedi at this time is not to deal with the Church of the Seven Sins at all, but to obtain the power of faith of the Arcane Lord in Alice City, and the power of faith of the God of Nature in the elven forces of Grand Duke Delai's collaborators. If she doesn't get it from the God of War, then she will make up for it.)

Rusalka: (Goodness, three birds with one stone. So should we stop her or cooperate with her?)

Sanita: (We neither stop nor cooperate, but rather strive to be one step ahead of destruction.)

Rusalka: (You mean...)

Sanitta: (Heh, since the Power of Faith is something that "can be traded and plundered," then why can't we, as non-faithists, possess some? While I'm not sure what the use of gathering all twelve different Powers of Faith would be, or whether we could use them to summon DMs, we do need to turn passive into active, like... first obtaining the Faith of the Arcane Supreme or the Time Lord.)

Rusalka: (But you also said that faith comes in bulk. Theresa doesn't need to get all of it to use it. If we take one, it won't prevent her from taking the others, right?)

Sanita: (Yes, but I have been a guest mage for so long, but I have never received the power of faith from the Supreme of Arcane. Although losing the power of faith does not affect strength, there must be an inverse causal relationship. That is, only those with guaranteed strength will be allocated the power of faith by the gods to prevent being exploded after death.

The Seven Sins took over Alice City, the capital of Sneedi, so quickly that I suspect the Royal Capital Mage isn't as powerful as I thought, so he doesn't necessarily carry the Power of Faith. The Time Lord's Kingdom of Faith was nearly destroyed by the El Empire, which means the bearer of His Power of Faith hasn't appeared yet, at least not in Theresa's possession. Plus, you inexplicably received a blessing, so I think with your incredible luck, you might actually inherit a significant amount.

Rusalka: (Haha, is this true? Dragon Balls fell directly on my face. Are you so happy?)

Sanitieta pointed at the map on the table: (So, within three months, we must capture all the border areas between Mingyue City and Zhulei Territory to the east, and quickly accumulate the wealth of chess players. I have already sent a letter to the three nearby viscounts through messengers. The content is very clear: surrender or die. When the nest is overturned, no one will be left unharmed. The machine called war has been launched, and no one can stay out of it.

There are 3 dukes, 6 earls, and 15 marquises in the Kingdom of Snidi. Now that Marquis Banner on the border has died, it's only natural for us viscounts to inherit this land and title through fighting. Is that okay?)

Rushaka certainly thought it was no problem. She had already rested for a few months. She didn't expect that the cooldowns of the monthly CD skills that she had not planned to use a second time when she created the card could be restored. So it was time to join the battle.

So before getting a formal reply, Rusalka kept in touch with Phoenix and fed Eli delicious food, hoping that her courage could thrive under the nourishment of food. Finally, she was fooled by Sanita and agreed to join the army to fight.

In this case, are you still afraid that Esdi next door won’t follow suit?

Rusalka herself knew that there was no hope in relying on the Shaddoll Legion. To be frank, if she had known earlier that she would choose the training speed as the reward for the progression point, she would have chosen the way of leadership for her legendary template. In this way, she only needed to recruit militia as much as possible and she could have formed a decent army in a few months. Why would she need to cling to Theresa and lick her?

Although the army forcibly raised by this skill is definitely not comparable to Esdi, the military quality of the coalition led by the two marquis' sons before really gave Rusalka confidence. It was really polarized. The elite were elite, but the others were all rubbish. There was a kind of military composition beauty of the El Empire.

But the number of ratmen in the El Empire is the same as that of mice. They can give birth to five to six rats every six months, and their lifespan is usually only 30 years. It only takes 5 years from birth to becoming a qualified cannon fodder. As long as the ruler slightly integrates even 5% of the genes of Paradox players, this type of soldier will be incomparable to humans.

Feeding Relie is also quite satisfying. If Phoenix eats just because she pays attention to and likes the act of eating, then eating for Relie is a real enjoyment. Unlike Phoenix's wolfing down of food, Relie's face shows a pious satisfaction when she eats.

Not only the chef, but even Rusalka who was watching on the side felt that the food in the bowl, which was no different from usual, seemed to become delicious under the influence of her emotions.

Rusalka watched Ai Li eating and recalled the way her own kitten licked the cat's napkin. She was suddenly filled with nostalgia for her hometown and began to wonder if her family would worry about her when she was away, and whether they could eat as well as she did.

He didn't even notice when Phoenix took the chicken leg from his bowl. It wasn't until Phoenix slapped his calf with its tail that he came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not full? Then I'll give you this portion. You eat it first. Don't worry about me. I'll ask the kitchen to bring another one later."

But Phoenix picked up the bowl, ignored him, turned around and left after eating, leaving Rusalka a little confused.

But he has learned a new magic called "Phoenix Reconciliation Spell". The casting process cannot be described in detail. It just takes time and blood. After the casting is completed, the favorability is restored to full, and the effect has been proven time and time again.

Two days later, the first reply letter from the neighboring Viscount Cyril's Evergreen City was delivered to Rusalka's city lord's mansion.

The meaning of the letter was quite clear: I'm sorry, but now during the Kingdom War, if Marquis Banner really died in battle, he would only obey the new marquis announced by Grand Duke Delei or Count Basile, not the self-proclaimed imposter Rusalka.

After reading the letter, Rusalka smiled at Sanita beside her.

Sanita: "I've already issued the mobilization order. I also have some good news for the overall situation, and some bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Rusalka: "How bad can my personal bad news be? Let me hear the good news first."

Sanitta: "Aili has volunteered to come with us, so Mongili will definitely send some troops to support us. Furthermore, the baronies near Mingyue City have also submitted to our forces, so they will also send some troops to reinforce us. As for the three major chambers of commerce, the other two have been unclear about their stance, but they have also promised to provide some military supplies. The Doug Chamber of Commerce was very straightforward and directly helped us contact many mercenaries. Although the appearance fee is not cheap, considering your excellent reputation and the rumors of your invincibility, they are willing to accept the 'post-battle payment' method."

Rusalka: “Does it make any difference?”

Sanita: "Yes, if we pay after the battle, then of course the entire bill will be paid for by the defeated Viscount Cyril."

Rusalka gave him a thumbs-up: "High, so what's the bad news?"

Sanita: "The bad news is that Phoenix is ​​following."

Rusalka: “Isn’t this good news?”

Sanitieta: "It's neither good nor bad, since you and her are already in this relationship, it's only normal. But the news she just told me to tell you is bad. She said she has to monitor Rewi's movements and won't be accompanying you. There's nothing wrong with what she said, but her attitude towards Rewi has been a little subtle lately. Just in case, be prepared for her to use her old tricks again, like another early morning kitchen show."

Rusalka: 0.o

Well, that's bad news indeed.

Rusalka was scared by Phoenix. Last time, she emptied the Holy Healing Pool. This time, she had to go to the front line. Long rest was not so stable. It was okay to lose blood outside of combat, but if she didn't have time to wear the level 3 armor, it would be ridiculous.

Or I might as well stay on the battlefield and not go back to the tent to rest. It would be safer among the enemies.

Chapter 130 Border Integration (1)

In order to achieve a successful start and to get a good omen, Rusalka gave this military operation a code name.

Rusalka: "Let's call it the Reunion Movement! The Grand Duke has betrayed my trust, the Lord of Pearl Tears can no longer tolerate this, the Paladins unite, and let faith blossom in the kingdom!"

Single bet x4! Rusalka was very happy.

Once he started speaking, even though these four sentences seemed very forced, under the correction and rendering of 20 charm, they had an inexplicable appeal, just like Chinese people who don't understand Japanese listening to Japanese passionate songs, or vice versa. Anyway, everyone present felt that Rusalka's words were very passionate. Even if they didn't understand them, they would think positively about them.

Only Sanitta sighed secretly. He didn't expect Rusalka to say anything cultured, but could he really not say anything auspicious?

The Reunion Movement is here. Are they going to fight all the way west to Alice City, and finally be wiped out there as a tribute to the original novel?

He was actually afraid of Rusalka, because whatever he said came true. Last time, in Mingyue City, which was a very solid place, Rusalka said, "As long as I take the initiative to open the door, the enemy will never be able to break through the gate I am guarding." But it turned out that this was actually fulfilled by the opponent breaking through. This made Sani Tieta really wonder if this idiot who had so many points that he had no place to use them, had also got the ability to make his words come true.

Sanita: (Brother, please say something auspicious.)

Rusalka opened her arms, her main point being that she couldn't spit out ivory from her mouth: "I will set the sea on fire! Pass on my order, the entire army will march out!"

Clap-clap. Everyone who didn't understand the first half of the sentence but understood the second half clapped their hands out of courtesy, then stood up and returned to their respective legions to prepare for departure.

Only Phoenix, Sunita, Aili, Rusalka, Custer and Qingfeng are left here.

Rusalka was silent for a moment, then turned to Ai Li across from her and said, "Ai Li, you won't get any snacks if you sit here. We're about to leave, so go back to your own regiment."

Ai Li shook his head and looked at Rusalka seriously and said, "The Saint Lady instructed me to follow you, so I must stay by your side at all times."

As soon as she said this, Rusalka could see that the look in Phoenix's eyes at the moment revealed that she really wanted to customize a special "war accident" for Ai Li.

Rusalka sighed, "I'm sorry, Arie, but Phoenix is ​​the only one who can stay with me."

If the system wanted to speak at this moment, it would probably say: [Phoenix's Rage -20.]

Ai Li was a little confused and asked with his head tilted, "Why?"

[Phoenix's Rage +30. ]

Rusalka was stunned by her innocent question and hesitated, too embarrassed to explain clearly: "It's just... because Phoenix and I... we are... uh... husband... husband... fei, comrades with a very good understanding! On the battlefield, only the most trusted comrades can accompany each other. Obviously, you and I are still strangers, so you should go to Esdi."

[Phoenix's Rage -20.]

Ai Li patted her budding chest in dissatisfaction. "I'm preparing to become a Sister of Radiance. Don't worry, I won't hold you back. The Vice-Captain, the other knights, and I were all strangers to each other at first. I believe trust always starts from the first step. Sooner or later, I too can become a comrade you trust."

【Phoenix's rage reaches max.】

You're right, do you think the "comrade" I mentioned means the same thing as the "comrade" I understand? The Chinese language and culture are extensive and profound, and it's common for a word to have multiple meanings. If you don't understand, don't interrupt me!

Rusalka glanced at Phoenix, who was gently stroking the hem of her skirt with her fingers. If she remembered correctly, that was probably where the handle of the dagger inserted in the leg glove was.

No, Ai Li, you may be stubborn and not afraid of death, but is there a possibility that I am the one who is afraid of death?

Rusalka's face turned serious. "This is wartime. My words are orders. Reverend Aili, I command you to return to the legion in Esdi and march with them!"

Ai Li shrank back in shock at Rusalka's aura, but she was surprisingly stubborn in this regard. She even used the same coquettish trick that had always worked so well with the nun when she was a nun in the church: "Knight Rusalka, please let me stay here, okay? I want to become a powerful Sister Huiyao in the future, so I can't disobey the orders of the Saint. You can just pretend I don't exist!"

Rusalka was about to collapse. To be honest, Ai Li was the bravest NPC he had ever seen - she was the first one who dared to disobey his military orders.

In his previous life, this kind of person would have had ten heads chopped off.

The worst thing is that I really can't do anything with her. I can't hit her or scold her, and I don't dare let anyone carry her out. It's so hateful.

Rusalka frantically threatened Sanitta on the PL channel: (Brother, come up with some ideas to get rid of her. Isn't she a spy sent by the other side to alienate me and Phoenix? I'm begging her, this little ancestor. I want to be a good man, so I can't go against Phoenix's instructions. I wish you really didn't exist, okay?)

Sanitieta: "Aili, if you want to stay in our army, that's fine, but you have to do something."

Rewi Alley: "Of course, just tell me what to do. I'll do my best!"

Sanita: "Okay, I'll appoint you as the captain of the medical team! You'll be responsible for taking care of all the wounded!"

Ai Li: "No problem! I will try my best to treat everyone!"

A picture popped up in Rusalka's mind: Ai Li pulled up the wounded soldier from the ground and shouted, "Sunny, Iron Tower!"

Wait wait wait, this isn't right!

Rusalka: (Brother, I asked you to kick her out, not to keep her and give her a promotion!)

Sanitita: (You've traveled through time and fought so many battles. Have you ever been to the wounded camp? Have you and Phoenix ever rescued or transported even a single wounded soldier? Or, do you really think that a group of us refugees who have been training as an army for a year or so have a rescue team?)

Rusalka recalled and even she wanted to laugh.

He and Phoenix were only responsible for creating corpses on the battlefield.

Wounded soldier, what is that?

Only after the battle, when Rusalka can take a long rest at any time, will she use the Holy Healing Pool to heal her allies. As for Phoenix, she may prefer to finish off those allies who seem difficult to save.

With Sanita's arrangement, Ai Li would almost never see him. This reason was very reasonable. Even Ai Li himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he agreed to it directly. What a great idea!

Aerie: "Where are the other priests? I'll join them."

Rusalka waved her hand. "We don't have any priests, only bandages and herbs. Captain Ai Li, you alone are a new organization! The first step is to work hard to expand your forces. Go!"
