On the way, Rhodes observed the black clouds around him. These black clouds cover a wide range, and due to poor vision, Rod doesn't know if the black clouds are shrouding the entire town, but all the way Rod has walked, this kind of black cloud is above Rhodes' head.

Rhodes realized that this black cloud must have been created by some kind of treasure, just an imitation of the real dark canopy.

The real dark canopy will not have any suppression of the necromancer's perception, but will have an improvement to help the necromancer perceive the scene farther away. It will not suppress most of Rod's perception as it is now.

Rhodes walked all the way, and as he went, the sky was full of black clouds, which made the surrounding environment extremely dark. As Rhodes gets closer and closer to the mayor's mansion, Rhodes also notices an anomaly, and the mansion is almost surrounded by this black cloud.

Originally, Rhodes could see through the tiny light around him, but now he couldn't see anything at all, not even the road under his feet.

Fortunately, Rod's perception of undead creatures still exists, although this perception is somewhat suppressed by the black clouds in the sky, but it still plays a greater role for Rod, allowing Rhodes to feel the approximate location of the mayor's mansion through the concentration of death energy.

Perhaps because of the limited vision, it was difficult for Rhodes to see things around him through his eyes due to the darkness around him. As a result, Rhodes could only devote all his attention to perception, and under this preoccupied perception, Rhodes' perception was more accurate than in his usual state.

In Rhodes' perception, the location of the original mayor's mansion was shrouded in a large amount of death energy at this time, and this death energy was not flat, but was producing a violent fluctuation all the time.

Rhodes realized that there was also a battle going on at the mayor's mansion.

Previously, Rod could find his way forward due to his distance from the location of the mayor's mansion, but now he could sense the death energy not far away, but because of the darkness around him, even with his Eagle Eye, Rhodes could not see anything around him.

Rhodes stretched out his hand, and a flame appeared in his hand, illuminating the path around him. Since maintaining the flames required a constant drain of mana, Rhodes was certainly reluctant to do so.

The flames lit up the surroundings, and by the light of the fire, Rod searched around and found a wooden bar, which Rod used to light one end of the flame and hold the other end to make a simple torch.

With his torch in hand, Rhodes walked towards the mayor's mansion not far away.

After walking some distance, Rod saw a slight flash of fire in front of him, which was so obvious in the darkness all around. As if aware of something, Rhodes walked quickly to the location where the fire was coming from.

As the distance approached, Rhodes saw that a large number of undead creatures were surrounding the courtyard of the former mayor.

The undead creatures were standing outside the mayor's mansion, in the courtyard that Rhodes had seen earlier, many of them holding torches, trying to get close to the mayor's mansion and trying to set it on fire, apparently under the control of the necromancer.

Ordinary undead creatures only have the instinct to fight, even if it is a vampire, if Rhodes does not give it orders, the vampire will not be like these undead creatures in front of him, holding torches and igniting the surroundings.

Undead creatures can exert greater power under the control of necromancers, and there will be an improvement overall, just like Rhodes used to control the walking corpse against vampires in the tomb, and there is a necromancer lurking around to control these undead creatures holding torches.

In addition to these undead creatures, Rhodes also discovered the undead creatures controlled by the mayor.

The skeletal warriors controlled by the mayor also came to the periphery of the mansion at this time, standing in a formation against the undead creatures with torches around them.

Rhodes noticed that the mayor controlled significantly more undead creatures than he had previously shown in the mansion. Most of the undead creatures protecting the mansion are skeleton warriors, and only a small number are walking corpses.

And the attacking side is different. Among the undead creatures on the attacking side, in addition to a large number of walking corpses, there are also many ghosts, and even the ghosts that Rhodes saw before have a few.

Seeing these undead creatures, Rhodes seemed to realize something. For a necromancer, a large part of the undead creatures he controls can reflect the way he increases his strength.

Generally speaking, after destroying a village, a necromancer will transform all the people in it into undead creatures, and the corpses that have just died, unless they have undergone special treatment, are difficult to be made into skeleton creatures, and can only be made into walking corpses.

That's why, when Rhodes first woke up in the catacombs, he was surrounded by a large number of walking corpses waiting to be transformed, and there were almost no skeletons.

Rhodes looked at the two sides of the battle, the undead creatures on the mayor's side were almost all skeleton warriors, and a small number of skeleton soldiers, while there were a large number of walking corpses on the other side.

This means that if there is anyone who has been using the townspeople to create undead creatures, it is not the mayor of the town, but the necromancers on this side.

This discovery made Rod realize something, and before Rod could continue to observe the situation in the field, the surrounding undead creatures had already discovered Rhodes, and the reason was the torch in Rhodes' hand, and the light of the torch ignited by the torch was extremely obvious when it was pitch black all around.

As if under the control of the necromancer, a ghost on the side let out a scream, but did not move, and the undead creatures that were originally besieging the mayor's side split up and began to attack Rhodes.

Seeing the other undead creatures around him, Rhodes took his weapon out of the spatial ring and put on guard in all directions, allowing the vampires to meet the undead creatures in front of him.

These undead creatures were obviously no match for vampires, so Rhodes didn't make a move, focusing on the situation around the mansion.

Among the undead creatures that fight vampires, there are only some walking corpses, as well as a few ghosts. And the ghost that Rhodes saw before is still fighting the mayor's skeleton warriors in front.

The vampire fought with these undead creatures and quickly killed the undead creatures that surrounded them, and since the number of these undead creatures was extremely small, Rhodes did not make any other moves, and continued to observe the situation around the mansion.

In Rhodes's opinion, due to the problem of the number of undead creatures, the side attacking the mayor's mansion far exceeded the number of undead creatures owned by the mayor, and the mayor's resistance was obviously these skeleton warriors in front.

In terms of rank, Skeleton Warriors belong to first-order creatures, but in terms of actual combat ability, whether it is basic attributes or equipment, Skeleton Warriors surpass ordinary first-order creatures.

Although the attacker has a lot of ghosts and a large number of walking corpses taking damage in front of them, they still can't kill these skeleton warriors in front of them in a short period of time.

Rhodes looked carefully, on the battlefield, there was a special position between the skeleton warriors, not fighting separately to kill one by one, but cooperating with each other, whenever a skeleton warrior was attacked, several other skeleton warriors next to it immediately stepped forward to meet the enemy.

These skeleton warriors blocked the main road in front of the mansion, blocking the attacks of the surrounding undead creatures, and the walking corpses were holding torches, but it was difficult to approach the mansion.

Rhodes focused his attention on the location of the Skeleton Warrior in the battlefield, if ordinary undead creatures would be difficult to kill the Skeleton Warrior because of the cooperation between the Skeleton Warriors, but the Skeleton Warriors are different.

As a third-order creature, the Yin Soul can easily kill the Skeleton Warrior against these Skeleton Warriors, as long as the necromancer controlling in the rear has a good sense of combat.

Rhodes saw that there were three ghosts on the field, one of them was at the back of the battlefield, and he had been paying attention to his position with the vampire, and it was he who had been paying attention to this side, so that he could find himself as soon as he arrived.

The other two, at this time, were fighting the skeleton warriors in front.

The Yin Spirit poked out with a claw, and a skeleton warrior in front of it immediately swung his shield to meet it, and the Yin Spirit's claws hit the shield, and a burst of dark light suddenly flashed on its body.

The other Wraith took the opportunity to attack, but instead of chasing the attack, the Skeleton Warrior continued to raise his shield, ready to meet the next attack of the Wraith. At the same time, the other skeleton warriors on the side also stepped forward to resist, not letting the Yin Ghost hit him.

Due to the nature of the Skeleton Warrior, the Skeleton Warrior was unable to deal much damage to the Skeleton Warrior, but again, when the Skeleton Warrior blindly resisted, the Skeleton Warrior was dragged here by the Skeleton Warrior, unable to give full play to the advantages of its third-order creatures.

At this time, the vampire had already killed all the undead creatures that came here, and while the vampire was fighting the rest of the undead creatures, another yin spirit had been watching in this direction.

If the attacker's necromancer has all the undead creatures attack the mayor's mansion, the mayor's mansion will be breached by the number of these three yin spirits and the rest of the undead creatures.

Even if you can't kill all the skeleton warriors, you can take advantage of the numerical advantage and set the mayor's mansion on fire. But since a part of the undead creatures had to be set aside to guard Rhodes' side, it was obvious that they would not do this.

The vampire had cleared the undead creatures around him, and Rhodes didn't let it make any other moves, but continued to check the situation.

Rhodes also realizes that things in the town are not as simple as he thinks, so he doesn't act rashly.

Looking at the undead creatures fighting on the field, Rhodes knew that this was actually only the initial stage of the battle between necromancers, and the necromancers on both sides did not make a move, but relied on these undead creatures to attack each other, leaving the magic for use at critical moments.

The attacker has a numerical advantage and has some high-tier creatures, so they want to consume as many undead creatures as possible on the mayor's side in this way.

The mayor, on the other hand, is extremely confident in the defense of these skeleton warriors. also did not release spells, but hid in the mansion to control the undead creatures, relying on these skeleton warriors to form a special battle formation to resist the attacking undead creatures.

In the battle between necromancers, if they can't quickly solve the other necromancers, they can only carry out this kind of consumption of troops, in addition to competing with each other for the quantity and quality of undead creatures, but also for the ability to control undead creatures on both sides.

Low-level undead creatures, extremely poor combat awareness, in the absence of necromancer control, strength can only be ranked at the bottom of the same level of creatures, once there is a necromancer's control, the strength of these undead creatures will have a greater improvement.

Necromancers control undead creatures, and if you want them to move exactly as you think, it's a very mentally draining thing, and most necromancers just give a command to the undead creatures, and then let the undead creatures act on their own.

For example, in many battles in Rhode's previous battles, he only gave a suggested order to the vampire, such as fighting with the front and using the bat-turning skill, which was just a general order, rather than controlling the vampire, asking it when to attack and how to raise its hand to attack.

It was only in order to restrain the Blue Runner Mage's dagger that Rhodes precisely manipulated the vampire and made it confine the Blue Runner's dagger to its body, which would certainly not have been done by the vampire alone.

Like ordinary battles, vampires rely more on their own combat awareness. This is one of the reasons why high-tier undead creatures are stronger than lower-tier undead creatures.

Rhodes looked at the situation in the field, the battle formation formed by the skeleton warriors, including their combat response at this time, was obviously not achieved by their own strength, but with the mayor of the town on the side.

In order to achieve this level of control, in addition to being extremely strong in one's own spiritual attributes, high-level spiritual imprints are also essential.

Although the spirit mark is counted as an ordinary skill, a skill like this cannot be improved by experience points alone, and it must have a pre-existing knowledge content to be improved.

During this time when Rhodes was watching, new changes took place on the battlefield.

In order to guard against Rod, a high-level Yin Spirit could not deal with these enemies around him, and he had to be distracted to guard against the situation on Rod's side during the battle, which also led to the fact that the undead creatures on the attacking side could not achieve much under the defense of the Skeleton Warrior Battle Formation on the Mayor of the Town's side.

The attackers were also aware of this, and although they were aware of the existence of this enemy when the undead creatures were attacked at the beginning, there were no good countermeasures. In the unknown situation, he still chose to attack the mansion, and finally realized the uncertainty caused by doing so.

Knowing that it would be difficult to capture this mansion for a while, coupled with the threat of unknown enemies in the rear, the undead creatures of the attacking side gradually retreated, and the skeleton warriors did not pursue, but stayed in front of the mansion.

Due to the presence of three ghosts, even though the mayor could use spells to make it impossible for these undead creatures to retreat safely, the mayor of the town obviously didn't do this, but thought of something else.

At this time, Rod, who had not moved, made a move.
