Chapter 63: Dogfight II

At this time, the mayor was standing inside the door of the mansion, observing the battle in the field.

This position has a relatively wide field of vision, and because of the mansion as a block, even if the attacker is aware of their position, it is difficult to attack themselves from a distance with spells.

Since there are fires everywhere, the mayor of the town does not have to worry about the problem of sight, standing in the mansion, he can take in the overall battle situation.

At first, the undead creatures of the attacking side retreated, and the mayor did not ask his skeleton warriors to come forward to pursue, but remained stationed in front of the mansion. When he saw the other side emerging from the rear and pinning back most of the retreating undead creatures, the mayor chose to attack.

Including the original release spell, Mayor Mare only thought of destroying as many undead creatures controlled by the enemy as possible, until he saw another different undead creature in battle, and Mayor Mare had a new idea.

Based on his own experience, the mayor realized that the bats were made of vampires the moment he saw them appear. It may be difficult for ordinary undead creatures to explain anything, but the identity of the vampire undoubtedly conveys some information to the mayor.

Mayor Mare realizes that the party controlling the vampire is the necromancer who came to his mansion earlier, and Mayor Mare also has his own guess about this necromancer, but he doesn't know if the guess is accurate.

Therefore, in order to test his idea, and wanting to test the strength of the other party, the mayor controlled the skeleton warrior to slash at the vampire not far away, and successfully suppressed the vampire.

At this time, seeing the necromancer who was controlling the vampire rushing in his direction, the mayor of the town stared intently at his movements, ready to control the skeleton warrior to respond.

…………

Rhodes came to the front of the group of skeleton warriors.

In order to suppress the vampires, the Skeleton Warriors held shields and formed a formation beside the vampires, suppressing the vampires in the center of the formation.

The vampire swung his claws, wanting to attack these skeleton warriors in front of him, but looking at the large number of shields, he couldn't find the right time to strike for a while.

With these shields in front of him, coupled with this special formation, the Skeleton Warrior resisted the attacks of the vampires very well.

Rhodes rushed to the vampire's side and saw such a scene.

At Rod's signal, the vampire immediately uses batatization. At this moment, an ice-blue ripple spread rapidly towards the group of skeleton warriors on the side.

Unlike creatures like Shadows and Ghosts, the Skeleton Warriors, although they are very powerful under the control of the mayor, are still only first-order creatures.

The skeleton warriors who were later in the position were fine, but the skeleton warriors with shields in front of them, due to the close distance, were taken away by this ice magic ring, and due to the impact of the ice magic ring, the skeleton warriors' formation collapsed.

Taking advantage of the fact that this group of skeleton warriors was scattered by the ice magic ring, Rhodes rushed out directly towards the skeleton warriors, and due to the close distance, he instantly came to the nearest skeleton warriors.

Crossing the shield held by the skeleton warrior, Rhodes slashed sideways with a sword, directly beheading the skeleton warrior in front of him.

Rhodes kept moving, and after beheading one of the skeleton warriors, he continued to charge towards the other skeleton warriors on the side.

Under the control of the mayor, the impact of the Ice Ring on these skeleton warriors only lasted for a moment, and then these skeleton warriors regained their stability.

At this time, the bats produced by the vampire bats also came to the side of these skeleton warriors and began to bite these skeleton warriors.

In order to deal with the attack of the bats, the original formation of the skeleton warriors began to scatter, and this scattering was the greatest help for Rhodes at this time.

Taking advantage of the numerical advantage, the bats surrounded these skeleton warriors and began to attack, but neither the bat's teeth nor the claws on their bodies had much effect except for leaving a few bright white nicks on the gray skeleton.

Since the skeleton warriors have no flesh and blood on their bodies, it is difficult to cause effective damage to these skeleton warriors in front of them by biting the bats produced by the transformation of vampire bats. Therefore, Rhodes did not let the vampire choose to bat at the beginning.

At this point, in order to make the vampires cooperate with his magic, and to make the formation of these skeleton warriors even more chaotic, Rhodes asked the vampires to use bats.

The bats created by the Vampire Bat do not have much sense of combat, and do not focus on weak points to attack, except for attacking an enemy or gathering in one place according to general orders.

The bats that spawn after batting cannot kill these skeleton warriors, but they can be very well restrained. The main force to deal with this group of skeleton warriors is still Rhodes with a sword on the side.

Although the vampire body is restrained by these skeleton warriors, it can make it difficult for skeleton warriors to deal with it by turning into bats.

Due to the characteristics of the skeleton creatures, the bats did not cause much damage to these skeleton warriors, but looking at the group of skeleton warriors in front of him waving their blades indiscriminately and attacking the bats in the sky, Rhodes knew that the bats had a good effect, causing confusion among these skeleton warriors in the battle array.

Rhodes looked at a skeleton warrior not far away, and in order to deal with the bats in the sky, the skeleton warrior swung his sword, causing the shield that was in front of him to skew to the side.

Seeing this flaw exposed by the skeleton warrior, Rhodes rushed out directly, and at the same time slashed down with a sword.

The Skeleton Warrior reacted immediately, blocking the shield in front of him, and Rod's attack slashed into the shield.

Rhodes knew that the Skeleton Warriors could not react so quickly on their own combat instincts, and that it must be the mayor's manipulation in the mansion to withstand their own attacks.

Rod quickly scanned his surroundings. Since the Skeleton Warriors are fighting the bats, Mayor Mare does not choose to control these Skeleton Warriors.

After all, if you want to deal with the bats in the sky, the mayor's manipulation will not help the Skeleton Warrior's moves, but will limit the Skeleton Warrior's own movements.

Since there is no need to control the Skeleton Warrior against the bats in the sky, Mayor Mare can observe Rod's movements with peace of mind. Just as Rhodes chooses a target and prepares to sell his attack, Mayor Mare immediately manipulates the Skeleton Warrior to fend off Rod's attacks.

Although he realized this, for a while, Rhodes did not have a good way to deal with the mayor, the mayor's own position was behind this group of skeleton warriors, coupled with the unknown undead creatures that Rod had perceived before, the mansion might exist, Rhodes obviously could not kill the mayor first.

Mayor Mare clearly has a unique knack for manipulating the Skeleton Warriors. Even if Rhodes is in the chaos of the battlefield and the surrounding environment is not bright, the mayor can quickly spot the target that Rhodes is about to deal with, and accurately control the skeleton warrior to make corresponding moves.

Rhodes reversed course and swung his sword again, but was still blocked by the Skeleton Warrior's shield.

Rhodes flew up and kicked at the shield held by the Skeleton Warrior, trying to kick it aside and find a sword for himself.

But the Skeleton Warrior held off Rod's attack steadily, and at the same time took a few steps back and the shield was still in front of him.

On the side, many bats were wiped out by the blades of the Skeleton Warriors due to their attacks on the Skeleton Warriors.

Of course, the actions of these bats are not completely ineffective, since many of the previous Skeleton Warriors have suffered damage from the Ice Ring, although the bats cannot kill the Skeleton Warrior, they can reduce the Skeleton Warrior's health again.

Even if a single bat does not deal much damage to the Skeleton Warrior, it can still deal objective damage to the Skeleton Warrior due to the number advantage of the bat.

The rest of the skeleton warriors were still dealing with the bats around them, and they didn't notice this at all, only the skeleton warrior in front of them was still holding a shield, even if the bats on the side pounced on its body and tore it, it didn't move.

Rhodes' gaze went beyond the group of skeleton warriors in front of him to the mansion not far away.

As when you first entered, there seems to be no change in the surroundings of the mansion. It's just that the door of the mansion opened, and the interior was pitch black, without the slightest light. Rhodes couldn't see what's inside, but Rhodes knew that Mayor Mare was standing inside the mansion, observing everything on the battlefield.

Without bothering with the mayor's position again, Rhodes looked at the skeleton warrior in front of him again and rushed straight over.

The Skeleton Warrior raised his shield to fend off Rod's attack, but Rhodes leaned down and swept with his sword.

Although the shield held by the Skeleton Warrior was relatively wide, since the Skeleton Warrior was close to protecting the shield above his head, although the shield protected the Skeleton Warrior's head and entire upper body, it still could not cover its entire body.

The blade swept over the legs of the Skeleton Warrior, and the two leg bones of the Skeleton Warrior were directly broken, and the cross-section was smooth and neat, although this Sword Rhodes did not use skills, but still showed the power of his expert swordsmanship.

The skeletal warrior fell to the side due to a broken leg bone.

Rod immediately stepped out at the fallen Skeleton Warrior, and the Skeleton Warrior quickly put his shield in front of him, blocking Rod's stepping kick with a muffled sound.

The Skeleton Warrior pressed his force against the shield, trying to push it up.

Feeling the movement of the skeleton warrior on the soles of his feet, Rhodes also increased the intensity of suppression.

At this time, the skeleton warrior saw a sword light coming, even though the surrounding environment was gloomy, but with the light of the fire burning on the battlefield, the skeleton warrior clearly saw that the blade of the sword flashing red light was slashing towards his neck.

The Skeleton Warrior tried to move his shield upwards to block the incoming sword light, but the shield was trampled on by Rhodes, and it could not move at all.

The blade slashed down, instantly severing the neck of the skeleton warrior, and the soul fire in the skull that fell to the ground slowly extinguished.

At this time, a skeleton warrior next to him rushed towards Rhodes with a shield, and Rhodes dodged back, dodging the skull warrior's charge.

After dodging, Rhodes ignored the Skeleton Warrior charging at him, and quickly swung his sword at the nearest Skeleton Warrior beside him.

The other skeleton warrior instantly gave up on the bat he was dealing with, and instead raised his shield to meet Rhodes, blocking Rhodes' attack.

Rhodes wanted to repeat his old trick and leaned down to slash with his sword, but was blocked by the shield that the Skeleton Warrior pulled down in time.

After the last Skeleton Warrior was killed by Rhodes in this way, the mayor realized this move of Rhodes, and it was obviously not so easy to kill a few more Skeleton Warriors with this move.

Rhodes attacked several times in quick succession, but was completely blocked by the shield held in the hands of the Skeleton Warrior.

In these attacks, Rhodes also found that whenever the skeleton warriors concentrated on resisting their own attacks, they had no way to fight back against themselves, and could only hold their shields in front of them.

This group of skeleton warriors does not attack the enemy by blocking and counterattacking, but the skeleton warriors in front focus on resisting, and the other skeleton warriors on the side take the opportunity to attack.

It is precisely because of this approach of the Skeleton Warrior that in the case of a Skeleton Warrior resisting with all his might and not attacking at all, Rhodes could not find the flaws of the Skeleton Warrior by relying on moves alone.

Rhodes raised his hand, and a magic arrow was released at the leg of the skeleton warrior, and after releasing the spell, Rhodes also rushed out directly.

In the face of the magic coming from the attack, the Skeleton Warrior tried to dodge to the side at the first time, but because the equipment on his body was too heavy, it suppressed the speed of the Skeleton Warrior itself, and when the magic came in front of the Skeleton Warrior, the Skeleton Warrior had just begun to move.

The magic arrow accurately hit the Skeleton Warrior's leg, and with a bang, the Skeleton Warrior fell to the ground, and the place where it was originally a leg bone was empty at this time.

The moment the magic arrow hit the Skeleton Warrior, Rhodes came to its side and killed the Skeleton Warrior with a heavy blow as it fell.

At this point, the number of bats in the field was small, and Rhodes knew that the vampire's bat-transformation skills would not last long.

Rhodes gave an order to the vampire, and was about to raise his hand to release the Ice Ring, when he saw the skeleton warriors around him quickly retreat towards the rear.

For some reason, after the number of bats was greatly reduced, the Skeleton Warriors did not choose to attack Rhodes, but all retreated in the direction of the mansion, and finally stood in a row in front of the mansion, reforming the battle formation that Rhodes saw at the beginning.

For a while, Rod didn't make any other moves, just stopped at the position just now, watching the movements of these skeleton warriors.

The vampires gathered behind Rhodes, also looking at the position in front of the mansion.

Under Rod's gaze, Mayor Mare stepped out of the shadows at the entrance of the mansion.

The mayor of the town is not much different from his previous dress, he is still in a black robe, and at this time he has put on his hood, and under the cover of darkness, a layer of shadows is all around the whole person.

At this time, the mayor was staring at Rhodes as if to confirm something.

Rod was not in a hurry, and looked at the mayor with the same expressionless face, waiting for his words.
