In that period in the previous life, the whole of Erathia was completely suppressed by the lich led by Sandru, shrouded in the shadow of death, and even the supreme angel was helpless against this lich.

And the appearance of that aurora was also when Sandru was about to capture Erathia's capital, Standwick.

Thinking back to the plot of these expansions, the aurora released by the artifact, Rhodes seemed to realize something.

Rhodes found that the angels, at the beginning of the battle, did not seem to use this artifact, that is, to release the aurora.

Since he had already passed the plot of the third expansion in the game in his previous life, Rhodes knew what kind of beings were coming to the surface world.

In the third expansion, the demons of hell, together with the sorcerer, will launch an attack on the surface world, and in the hands of the protagonist of the third expansion, the artifact of the same name as the expansion, the Blade of Doom.

In such a huge battle, the angels of Erathia failed to release the aurora again, but allowed the Hell Alliance to wreak havoc, and finally relied on the strength of the player to win with difficulty.

From these memories, Rhodes also found something unusual.

Rhodes realizes that the angel of the third expansion may not want to release Aurora, but that he no longer has the ability to release it again.

Recalling what he saw during the Legacy Mission, Rhodes believed that Aurora, which was so powerful that it could almost destroy any given creature, must have extremely strict restrictions, even if it was released by an artifact, it might also have an extremely long cooldown time, and it was impossible to use it at will.

Based on his own understanding of the expansion process, Rhodes seems to have seen the truth behind the expansion.

The Aurora, which was supposed to act on the Hell Alliance in the third expansion, was forced out by Sandru in advance in the second expansion, which led to a series of later situations.

If Sandru hadn't relied on the power of the artifact to push the whole of Erathia into a corner, this aurora might not have appeared at all, and the situation of the entire expansion would have changed.

Although there is no way to verify this with the angels in Cloudsdale, in Rod's opinion, the information he has speculated is close to the true situation of the expansion.

In order to follow the plot of the original expansion, and also to better achieve his own goals, Rod realized that the aurora was better forced out in the second expansion, after all, as long as it still exists, it is a threat to himself.

Rhodes did not intend to follow Sandru's example, and went to Erathia in person, single-handedly promoting the transformation of the corpse witch, and if he wanted to force out this aurora, he could only rely on the group of lichs in front of him.

According to the strength of the lichs, combined with the effect of the ghost king's cloak, it may not be able to put the entire Erathia in a desperate situation like Sandru in the previous life, but there is no problem in suppressing it for the time being.

Regarding the existence of Aurora, only Rhodes knows this secret for now.

The scenes in the Legacy Quest are too far away from the time when the mages appeared, and these lichs will never know, and the follow-up to the second expansion is even more of a future situation, and only Rhodes knows this.

Because of this, it is difficult for these lichs to find anything unusual in Rod's words, and Rhodes's statement that he abandoned Erathia and went to Eri is only a manifestation of his sincerity.

After learning about Rod's plan for this battle and the way to maximize the effect of the artifact, Ace nodded, and a hint of surprise appeared on his old face.

"You've said so much, but the only thing you haven't mentioned is your own purpose. What exactly is your reason for launching this campaign? ”

The person who asked this sentence was Aisha who was not far away, and at this time, it was also shocked by the content of Rod's words, if everything went according to Rod's prediction, it seemed that the necromancer would really be beneficial to the top of the world.

It's just that the pursuit of higher-level spiritualism still drives Aisha to question Rhodes.

"As I said, I don't want to find any reason, does it have to be some terrible excuse, or some kind of painful experience, to start this campaign? The existence of an artifact speaks for itself. ”

In the face of Aisha's doubts about herself, Rhodes gave this answer.

Naturally, Aisha would not be satisfied with such a specious answer, and just as it was about to continue questioning Rod, the gazes of the rest of the lichs and the indifference in them made it wisely silent.

Seeing that the situation was extremely clear, and the rest of the lich were obviously affected by Rod's words, Aisha knew that no matter what she said, it would not be able to make any difference, so she no longer stayed in the field, and immediately cast a spell and returned to her original position.

After returning, Aisha noticed that except for Nagas, who was still in the middle of a black mist, the original form of Modo had disappeared.

In the field, seeing that Aisha didn't say anything, she directly used teleportation to return to her original position, and Aisley could only shake her head slightly.

At this point, Aceley turned his gaze to another legendary lich, Smead, who appeared with her, and asked:

"Smad, do you want to be part of this battle? This is one of the few opportunities you can take revenge on Erathia. ”

As Ace asked, Rhodes couldn't help but turn his gaze to this legendary lich who looked extremely special.

Rhodes has some impressions of the name Smead.

Rhodes recalls that in his previous game, when Sandru's abilities were fully displayed and all the lichs in Diya's territory scrambled to create corpse witches, Smad seemed to be the only lich who did not join the Shadow of Death campaign.

Because of this, in the middle and late stages of the second expansion, Sandru, who became a legendary lich, became deeply suspicious of Smead, who refused to join, and finally at the instigation of Phoenix, Sandru took the initiative to get rid of Smead, shocking all the lichs.

At this time, Rod's strength naturally did not reach the level of Sandru who could kill legendary lichs, and there were not many creatures in the whole world that could reach this.

In addition, from Ace's words, Rhodes realized that there seemed to be some contradictions between Smead and Erathia, and it seemed that they had not yet been resolved.

However, in the face of Ace's persuasion, Smad shook his head.

As before, Smead didn't say anything, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
