What did you do with the dice?

Although the act of teleporting would interrupt his continuous movements for some reason, and the huge inertia from swinging his sword would inexplicably disappear after the teleportation ended, Rusalka also discovered that although the act of teleporting caused him to lose "kinetic energy" and "potential energy", he would retain his posture at the moment before the teleportation.

It doesn't matter if I can't use the cool move of "casting skills first and then using flash to cancel the pre-swing", because the opponent won't flash after me. I just need to make sure that I can "flash and then use skills immediately without being punished", right?

So you just need to get into the whirlwind slash posture before teleporting, raise the big sword and hold it diagonally at your waist, and start spinning the moment you teleport to the target location. In this way, you don't have to consider what direction you will be in after teleporting or which direction the enemy is; you don't need to look at the surrounding environment. As long as the landing point determined by the teleportation is correct, this move will definitely ensure that the enemy is within your 360-degree attack range without blind spots.

In the combo of Phantom Step followed by Whirlwind, if the opponent is lucky enough, for example, he is at the end of Rusalka's rotation direction, then Rusalka's average sword swing time is about 1.5 seconds. Minus the width of the greatsword itself, he will have about 1.3 seconds to react to Rusalka's attack, which is about the same as before.

Of course, if the opponent is extremely lucky and happens to be on the sword before Rusalka swings it, then based on the judgment of real combat rather than damage determined by rolling the dice, this attack without acceleration is unlikely to cause cutting damage to the opponent. At most, it will hit the opponent out like a baseball.

But not everyone is 100% lucky. If one is very unlucky, he will be a little ahead of Rusalka's sword swing path, giving Rusalka space to swing the sword and accelerate the attack. Sorry, the opponent will only have 2-4 frames to react.

This situation is beyond the ability of reaction speed to handle. Even if the brain reacts, the body is too late to take a defensive posture. Unless one predicts Rusalka's behavior of teleporting with the Phantom Step, otherwise one can only pray that his armor is strong enough and his health bar is long enough.

This group of elves had obviously never seen this kind of fighting style. As soon as the leader gave the order, he was stabbed in the back by Rusalka who suddenly appeared beside him and started spinning.

She has average luck, but it's a pity that Rusalka's combination of Phantom Step + Whirlwind Slash is not a first-time kill. If you can deal with it, you can deal with it, and if you can't deal with it, I tell you there is nothing you can do.

However, Rusalka's sword strike did not produce the expected fatal effect. The holy light did not blow the opponent into pieces after it burst out. It was obvious that the sword hit the opponent firmly, and combined with the Holy Slash, it only "knocked" the opponent out.

The other party rolled on the roof in a panic. When he stood up again, he saw an elf lady whose armor had been mostly broken and who was naked but didn't care.

This guy is not in the evil camp, so the Holy Slash's power is not doubled, and the armor on her body, which looks very valuable, blocks most of the damage for her. In addition, elves are believers of the god of nature, which is different from the weak image in other novels. They have strong vitality, that is, blood bars.

She was the operations leader of an elite special agent team like the Rangers. She dared to lead the team to assassinate Rusalka, the notorious warmongerer, in broad daylight. Naturally, she could not be easily killed in one blow.

Seeing that the opponent, even though he was half naked, had an indifferent expression as if he was determined to kill him, Rusalka shrugged his shoulders, picked up the sword again, and planned to use the same trick again.

At this moment, only sharp whistles and trumpets were heard, accompanied by the heavy and chaotic sound of iron hooves from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a black mist emerged from the side of an elf, and the elven archer was quickly wrapped in a layer of green light and fled from the spot. The place where she had originally stood was covered with black spikes and two daggers with cold light.

Phoenix's figure appeared. She stood on tiptoe and slowly stepped on the shadow spikes. She swung the dagger in her hand into a beautiful knife flower, rotated it a few times, and then held it in her palm. She glanced at the elves around her with sharp eyes.

The black mist that continued to surge out of her body was incompatible with the green energy of the God of Nature, making her presence seem particularly powerful in the eyes of these elves.

The sound of horse hooves in the distance was getting closer and closer, and one could faintly hear some shouts commanding the soldiers to surround and protect Rusalka.

"Captain, the city's human guards are surrounding us."

As rangers, they were certainly not afraid of these ordinary guards when they gathered together. However, out of concern for their own lives and the impact of casualties on subsequent missions, the captain kicked up the black cloak from the ground, turned around, wrapped himself in it, and whispered, "Retreat."

No wonder Phoenix didn’t show up when the other party lost the crystal ball. It turned out that he went to call for help.

Sanita sighed: (I didn't expect Phoenix to ask for help. It can be seen that the way she handles your affairs has changed a lot.)

Rusalka: (You must be envious! This is my exclusive cat car.)

Sanita: (You better lie down on the ground.)

Chapter 142 Hail Hydra

"Archers, release your arrows! We must not let the thieves escape!"

The one who came to take command was an unfamiliar paladin, but his orders were quite outrageous. While shouting to protect Rusalka, he ordered his men to directly cover the area with a saturation rain of arrows. For a moment, Rusalka wondered whether this guy trusted him or was a traitor on his side?

But he had already shouted out the lines of the most useless soldiers, and Rusalka felt as if she had seen the ending of "all 4 moves and all released", so she simply didn't bother to chase him.

The ranger team pulled and wrapped the transparent cloth around their waists, and their bodies became hazy in broad daylight.

Obviously, the chaotic rain of arrows had no effect on the elves. They could even easily dodge the arrows in a hazy state. Occasionally, a few masters would shoot accurate arrows flashing with holy light. The elves were not afraid at all when they saw it. They lifted their cloaks a little, drew the enchanted daggers at their waists and swung them quickly. Surprisingly, they could accurately hit the high-speed arrows in the air every time and cut them off.

Each one is as powerful as a monk who can deflect missiles, which makes Rusalka, who can only use her face to take missiles, very envious.

But even if they didn't plan to keep all the opponents, Rusalka and Sanitta also planned to do something, so Rusalka gave an order to Phoenix who came to support them.

"Phoenix, help capture that mage. Don't use any harsh force, just restrict his movements."

As for Sanita, he directly cast the Disaster spell, and then tore off the two scrolls on his waist, Slowness spell + Fragility curse, targeting the acting elven wizard.

A mage who was hit by so many debuffs at once was helpless, even if she wasn't a traitor. She shouted, "I'm being targeted by the enemy mage and can't leave. You guys leave quickly, I'll cover you!"

But her companion didn't seem to want to give up on her. He turned back and grabbed her collar. Two green runes appeared under his feet, as if he was trying to forcibly take her away despite her limited mobility. "Alizee, I won't let you sacrifice yourself like this. If you want to leave, let's leave together!"

The moment the rune glowed, it was as if a rocket thruster was installed under her feet, carrying her body forward rapidly. With one bounce, she actually jumped a distance of more than ten meters!

Rusalka was moved by their friendship, but he wanted to see even more how wonderful the expression of the elf who came to rescue the traitor Alice would be when he heard Alice say, "Sorry, I'm undercover."

Elf + pupils without highlights, it's a perfect XP combination, isn't it?

Rukasa came up to her side with a mysterious step and pointed at her: "Forced duel."

After the golden chains connected to each other, she seemed to have hit a wall of air. The chains pulled her from the air, and she couldn't even fall.

After the mage named Alice was rescued, it seemed that the bond of friendship triggered a switch in her heart, or perhaps it was out of guilt that she felt guilty towards her best friend who turned back in danger to save her, so she quickly cast "Secondary Dispel" in an attempt to lift Rusalka's "Forced Duel" so that they could escape from here instead of being captured.

You can stay if you want to, or leave if you want to? Even your own people should give you face!

He didn't have the ability to intercept the opponent's spell, but his brothers never let him down in terms of combat assistance. Sanita pointed, and this one finger immediately extinguished the opponent's hope like a bubble: "Counter Spell."

The magic of the secondary dispel spell was dispelled instantly, and while the elven wizard was stunned, Phoenix's shadow tentacles directly swept over the bodies of the two, binding them tightly together.

Phoenix was very good at dealing with mages. She first stuck the two of them together to hinder their movements, then immediately stuffed two balls of black mist into their mouths to prevent them from speaking, and finally blindfolded them to deprive them of their vision, and then spun them in the air to disrupt their sense of direction.

Before Rusalka could step forward to admire and criticize this beautiful scene with terms like "bondage", "lesbian", "humiliation" and "blindfold", Phoenix, who was not very romantic, directly tied them up into a shadow ball and then slowly controlled the ball to fall to the ground.

Rusalka cried out in disappointment: (Whose ShadowCat group is this? Now there's nothing to see. Let's go, brothers. See you in the book.)

Sanita put away his spellbook and opened the guild gate: (Your delivery is always good, buy one get one free, and you caught someone who isn't one of your own.)

Rusalka saw Sanita coming out and said to him, "Brother, cast a Dispel spell on me to help me cancel the forced duel."

Well, this thing is powerful, but the problem is that he only knows how to use it, but doesn't know how to cancel it when both parties are alive. In reality, you can't just right-click on the buff icon with the mouse, right?

Sanita didn't want to waste magic on this kind of thing: (Just wait 100 seconds.)

Rusalka felt that if she continued to interact with him for a few more sentences, the time would be up, so she gave up.

The carriage parked at the door had completely exploded, and the nearby streets looked like they had been attacked by a terrorist... Well, they had indeed been attacked, so they became dilapidated and there was almost nothing intact.

The wood-attributed magic became particularly strong in the air. The surroundings were in ruins caused by arrows and magic, and withered vines were scattered on the ground.

The carriage had been turned into pieces, and the ranger who had been hacked to death by Rusalka had his belongings taken away by his companions in time, and then his body was melted with some kind of potion, leaving nothing behind.

Rusalka, the main target of the attack, had his coat completely destroyed, so now he was wearing the brand new level 3 armor on the outside, and he looked like the most intact person in the vicinity.

Now the group of onlookers in the guild were silent. Everyone had only heard various versions of rumors and stories about Rusalka before, and more or less thought that the stories were fake and exaggerated.

Seeing is believing. Now they know that the story is indeed false: the real person is much more powerful than the story.

Seeing Rusalka looking in their direction, they immediately lowered their heads and began to sip the beer foam in their cups, not daring to look at her. Those mercenaries who had just wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob the Sani Tower now bent down and turned around, hoping to minimize their presence as much as possible.

"My friend just closed the shop. Doesn't that affect business?"

"It has no impact at all, Lord. This is your territory. We are believers in the God of Law and Contract. According to the law, you have the right to decide our business hours."

Sanita looked around and said calmly, "I just felt that the wind outside was too strong and I was afraid that your food would get cold, so I wanted to close the door. Is that okay with you?"

A group of people quickly echoed:

"How could that be? I've wanted to close the shop for a long time."

"No, no, Master Mage, you are so thoughtful."

Rusalka nodded: "That's good, I won't disturb you from doing business."

Just then, the vice president came down from upstairs and stopped Sanitieta, saying with a smile, "You two must be hungry after your workout. Why don't you sit down and eat something first? Your Excellency Archmage Sanitieta and the City Lord are our A-level clients. Since you've come to our guild, we can't let you walk back. While you're eating, I'll find a guild carriage to take you back."

It was a good thing he was so understanding, but Rusalka refused. "Phoenix is ​​waiting at the door. She's got two captives, and it's inconvenient to drag them around. We need to take them back quickly, just in case. I'll walk back with her."

Sanita said to the vice president, "Well, you are thoughtful, but we do have an urgent matter. We will accept your hospitality next time. There is no need for guards. The guards are waiting at the door."

"Okay, take care then."

As soon as the two walked out of the guild gate, the guards who were on escort duty surrounded them. The soldiers on all sides held up their shields and looked around vigilantly, while the soldiers in the outermost circle dispersed the residents at the entrances of various alleys and escorted them back to the city lord's mansion in a vigilant manner.

----

As expected, Phoenix, Rusalka, and Sanita were halfway along the path, carrying the suspended black mist ball. Surrounded by a group of guards, they heard the distant clatter of horse hooves. The leading commander lowered his head, admitting his mistake, and said to Rusalka, "I'm so sorry! Captain Rusalka, we failed to capture our target and let them injure several of our brothers."

He calls Rusalka Captain instead of City Lord. From this point of view, he should be one of Rusalka's die-hard fans.

Rusalka, who had anticipated this, showed no emotion at all. She thought to herself, "I'd be surprised if you could keep one of them." She said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I've already captured two. Take the injured back for treatment and rest. As long as they're coming for me, it won't be a problem."

The other party saluted Rusalka and said, "As you command! We will strengthen the management of people entering and leaving the city and ensure that we don't make the same mistake again! Please rest assured!"

Rusalka waved his hand symbolically to indicate that he understood. In fact, he thought that those elves, whose individual levels seemed to be no less than level 10, who wanted to come in, the number of people he could find on his side was probably no more than two hands, and he did not expect that he could compete with them with ordinary soldiers.

After returning to the city lord's mansion, the two elves were thrown into the dungeon. The iron chains made of magic-breaking iron synthesized by Sanita using alchemy came in handy. First, the archer was locked up and put in a single cell. The soundproof barrier was opened. He clapped his hands amid the latter's insults and curses, and asked the soldiers to guard the gate and that was it.

After the mage was taken to a small room alone and Phoenix's shadow power was removed, she cooperated and sat on a chair nearby. She smiled at Rusalka and said, "I am from the Earth Angel."

Then, with a frozen smile on her face, she watched Rusalka fold her arms indifferently. Only after Phoenix, who was also tied up tightly with chains and hung from the ceiling, did she question it in her heart: "You, aren't you the Great Elder's partner?"

Rusalka spread her hands and said, "Yes, but I'm afraid you might suddenly lose your mind and want to escape from prison to rescue the other one. I'm just on the safe side. Sorry."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief. Now that her life was no longer in danger, her pride returned. She turned to Rusalka and scolded her, "Then don't tie it so tightly. The chain hurts. I'm a mage, and I can't compare to those muscular archers."

Rusalka: "Okay, okay, kitty, go and loosen her up."

But after he finished speaking, he realized that Phoenix didn't listen to him at all and had no intention of going up to help. She had an attitude of "I'm not responsible for after-sales service."

We generally call this situation: the trainer's level is too low and the Pokémon does not obey commands.

But Rusalka didn't dare say this out loud, because he had recently talked to Phoenix about things about another world before going to bed at night, and Pokémon was one of them.

Seeing this, Alice thought that she was at the mercy of others, not to mention Phoenix's strength. She lowered her head and gave up. "Although the archer next door is not one of us, she and I have a good relationship. So, can you please not hurt her?"

"Your request is a bit unreasonable." Sani Tieta, who had been leaning against the iron fence and remained silent, said, "You know that our cooperative relationship with your Great Elder cannot be exposed. This is not for our sake, but for yours. Your naivety will get you and everyone else killed."

Alice wasn't stupid. Her long ears twitched, and after a few seconds of calm thought, she compromised. "Well...then you can keep her locked up, but take better care of her, okay? Provide her with dessert once a month. Shana likes black tea with maple syrup and salak fruit."

Sanitta: "We can discuss this later. Let the kitchen make you something to eat first."

Alice's expression suddenly relaxed. She had also heard about the delicious food at Snidi. "That's great! We haven't had time for lunch in the mission to assassinate Lord Pearl Tear. I'm starving. Just something to eat will be fine."

Rusalka didn't know what expression to use to respond to this sentence. Would a smile be enough?

"But I would be happier if you could meet one of my small requests."

Rusalka was very generous: "No problem, we are partners after all. Although I can't let you go so quickly, I allow you to order. Go ahead."

Alice took a deep breath and began to speak: "The vegetables must be fresh, but I can also accept those picked the day after. I also put less salt in them, because they are not tasty if they are too salty. I also don't boil them for too long, because otherwise the taste will be bad.

As for meat, try not to eat greasy meat, but also not pure lean meat. It should have a mixture of fat and lean meat. If you want to eat barbecued meat, eat it with rich sauce!

As for drinks, we prefer sweet tea. It’s better not to use fructose as we are tired of the fructose in the forest. I heard that Sinidi has something called ‘rock sugar’ that is synthesized by magic. I want to drink that!

Also, be careful with the tea you use when making tea! The first batch should be thrown away because the flavor is too mixed. The flavor is just right after the second batch, but it's too bland after the fourth.

As for tea, forget it. You definitely don't have as good tea as the one in our forest. Alas, there's nothing I can do. I'll just have to make do with it.

Finally, I hope to have Sinidi’s snacks, such as cookies and cakes. Since I came to Sinidi, I have always wanted to try them. If you can add a layer of cream on the cake, it will be perfect~”

After she finished speaking, she smiled at Rusalka, who was speechless. "I'm sure you can fulfill this small request. After all, I heard that you are the Lord of Pearl Tears, with many subordinates. You are as powerful as our Great Elder, right?"

This guy... I'll just starve you for a few days and then stuff a baguette into your mouth and see if you still eat it!

To be honest, this was the first time that Rusalka had the idea of ​​abusing the prisoners in terms of diet.

Chapter 143 News from the Great Prince

Sanitta took Rusalka and Phoenix back to the office to see what shocking secrets were written in the letter brought back from the guild. It was really a bit too much for the ranger to send so many people to intercept the intelligence, and after failing to kill the escort, he wanted to kill Rusalka directly.

Of course, before Phoenix took out the envelope, Sanitta made his customary mockery of Rusalka, who had just finished giving the servants lengthy instructions to prepare the meal and then dismissed him with a wave of his hand. "After thinking it over for so long, you finally did what the wizard asked. Is it because we don't have any baguettes at home?"

Rusalka curled her lips, took a quick step forward, and kicked away a stone under her feet. "After all, she is an ally. It's okay if her behavior of abusing prisoners gets out, but if the reputation of abusing friendly forces gets out, then I really can't handle it. After all, there are so many beautiful elves next door. I..."

He suddenly realized that he had not opened the PL channel, and felt that Phoenix behind him should have cast a questioning look at him, which made his back burn hot. At this moment, the five points of intelligence merged into one, occupying the global semi-primate thinking network, allowing him to burst out with amazing thinking power.

He remained calm and continued quickly, "That's what I think. The more beautiful a woman is, the more suspicious she tends to be. Phoenix is ​​an exception. I'm worried that if this unfounded accusation gets out, it will create unnecessary friction and a trust crisis when we try to work with them. That would be quite troublesome."

Phoenix is ​​a smart white-haired cat. After being with the two for so long, she has gradually understood a common sense from another world: never believe what Sanitta says, and never believe what Rusalka says; if you want to hear the truth, go to Rusalka and ask her. As for Sanitta, the best choice is to try not to talk to him, unless you want some blessing - suffering a loss is a blessing.

This sounds like a strange rule, but it is actually true.

But none of this matters. Phoenix doesn't care what Rusalka says. Rusalka is in this world now and can't go back. Even if she wants to run, she has nowhere to run.

Strength is the basis for magnanimity.

After the Sani Tower had put up a protective shield around it, Phoenix took out the letter and spread it out. Since it was a bit crowded for three heads to read a letter, the great lord Rusalka consciously gave up his space.

Sanitta: "It's a letter from Viscount Cyril."

This was quite strange. Rusalka leaned over and rested her chin on the cat's little head, ignoring the slaps on her ears, and glanced at the letter.
