Chapter 658: Allegiance

In addition to considering the future situation in Vierning, the obelisk mentioned in Rhodes's words is also one of the reasons for the attraction of the ice elemental.

Previously, Rhodes had not yet shown his true strength, and in the eyes of the Ice Element, it was natural that he would not fully believe the words spoken by a high-level mage.

However, after the battle between Rhodes and Witt, the thoughts in the heart of the ice elemental have undoubtedly changed greatly.

Even if it comes from the water elemental plane, the ice element only has a general understanding of the existence of the hydra trench, and knows that there is such a location, and it does not come to this location to explore in person like Rhodes, and the information it understands is far less than that of Rhodes.

In this case, the Ice Elemental naturally hoped that he could learn more about the Hydra Trench from Rhodes' mouth, the most important of which was the existence of the Obelisk.

Once the mage forces in Vierning fell into a disadvantage as a whole, it would undoubtedly take a lot of effort for the ice elemental to explore the traces of the heirloom artifact again.

At this time, seeing that Rhodes had noticed his existence, the ice element immediately spoke:

"Mighty necromancer, you have proven your strength with your actions, and I am willing to lead other elemental creatures to your allegiance in exchange for your protection of the elemental creatures in Verning."

Even though the ice elemental is very different from ordinary humanoid creatures in terms of appearance, the words it speaks are still a kind of lingua franca, and Rhodes can also understand it, which Rhodes has confirmed in the previous communication.

"The lord to whom you were originally loyal has died at my hands, don't you want to avenge him?"

Although Rhodes had already guessed what the Ice Elemental had thought, he didn't immediately agree, but asked about it.

"The elemental creatures who fled to Verning have not been treated fairly by Witt, for Witt, we are just weapons for him to expand his territory, and his attitude towards elemental creatures is no different from that of other mages in Bracadane."

"But you are different, you know so much about the elemental plane where I once lived, and even after the victory, you deliberately went around my life, I believe that with such a powerful strength, you are naturally very different from Witt for elemental creatures."

According to the previous experience of the Ice Elemental, as long as these Bracada mages are specially bragged about each other in the process of talking, especially the strengths of the other party, they can make them feel extremely proud, let down the vigilance in their hearts, and in many things, they can easily achieve it.

Witt before was such a mage, and whether his true attitude towards elemental creatures was as the ice elemental said, perhaps only the ice element in front of him knew this.

However, looking at Rhodes, whose expression had not changed in any way in front of him, the Ice Elemental suddenly realized that the techniques that had worked on other mages in the past had not been effective on Rhodes this time.

At this point, after hearing the explanation given by the Ice Elemental, Rhodes said:

"I don't think there's any difference between me and Witt, if it weren't for the fact that elemental creatures could barely be transformed into undead creatures, you'd probably have been dead for a long time.

"In my opinion, what you said about your willingness to be loyal to me is probably just a lie, and you should have other purposes for making this decision."

Hearing Rod's words, the Ice Elemental felt a sense of alarm in his heart. It seemed to him that Rhodes had realized its true purpose, which was to gather information about the obelisk, and what the Ice Elemental couldn't understand was how Rhodes knew this.

It's just that Rod's next words undoubtedly put the ice element at ease.

"Your real purpose is to make this choice after seeing my strength, knowing that you can't resist, so that other elemental creatures can be sheltered and not suffer losses in this senseless battle, right?"

"If it were another period, I wouldn't accept this kind of allegiance, and elemental creatures that are difficult to transform into undead creatures are a hidden danger for any necromancer."

"It's just that the current Verning is no longer as calm as it used to be, and elemental creatures like you may be able to work wonders at certain moments."

"I accept your allegiance and offer protection to the elemental creatures under my command, but you still need to join the fight."

From Rod's words, the ice element realized that his original idea had been successfully achieved.

In the eyes of the ice elemental, although Rhodes found some anomalies, he did not guess that his real purpose was for Velning's heirloom artifact.

And this is also what Rhodes originally wanted to achieve, when the ice element was most vigilant, after hearing this wrong answer, his heart relaxed, and he couldn't maintain this vigilance.

Rowling, who was on the side, seemed to realize something when she saw the change in the expressions of Rhodes and the ice element.

At this time, looking at the ice element on the side, Rhodes said:

"What I want you to do is to return to Witt's territory, take advantage of Witt's death and the chaos of the entire force, attract other elemental creatures who have come here like you, and meet the necromancer's counterattack when they arrive, and take advantage of the mage's defenselessness to attack these mages together."

The war in Bracada undoubtedly gave Rhodes an excellent opportunity, and in this case, after losing the high-level mages stationed there, the weakening of the mage power in Vierning undoubtedly became an inevitable trend.

With the death of the only high-level mage in the mage force in the territory of Vilning, the entire mage force will fall into chaos.

What Rhodes has to do is to take this opportunity to make the power of the necromancer in Vilning expand rapidly, until he has enough strength, he can take this opportunity to enter the second expansion.

After hearing Rod's command, the Ice Elemental seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he didn't say anything to Rod, just nodded simply.

Seeing that Rhodes had no other instructions, the Ice Elemental took a special dark blue ice crystal from his body and handed it to Rhodes, and after the most special way of contact, he turned around and left.

After the ice elemental left, Rhodes refocused his gaze on Rowling on the side.

The form of a ghost dragon descended from the sky. During this time, the remnants of the magical elements have long since overflowed, and Rhodes does not plan to stay here, but leads Rowling to board the ghost dragon and prepare to leave this place.
