[Don't get snotty with him, emperor. That way leads to scowling.
Climbing the tree seems like a terrible idea, so Rosinante backs off to regroup. The green-eyed spirits are smart enough to notice they're doing their best to ignore the hallucination, surely - they're tacticians, many of them, not mindless monsters.]
Either it will realize it's not going to achieve anything that way and attack directly, or it'll leave and look for an easier target.
[And given he and Cao Pi are now side by side again and both armed, attacking the two of them directly in the open is a terrible idea without friends. That's the best thing their allies have done for them - none of the spirits that break through seem to be managing to reach them in more than pairs, and few manage that. Green-eyed spirits are worst when they have the element of surprise and can pick people off using their hallucinations to their advantage, or when they send groups of other spirits out like hunting dogs. It seems it is now much, much harder for them to achieve those advantages.]
Let's wait a moment, see if it comes back. If not, I should keep checking on the others.
