Chapter 572: The Dragon Crosses the River
The big Freljord who runs the harbor is a good man (though Rhodes doesn't know what his name is) - if he were to be thrown into the Noxian army, he would be more than qualified to be a member of the Trifali Legion (and even a squad leader or even a centurion).
But this kind of strength is a bit insufficient in front of Rhodes.
The heavy double-bladed battle axe slashed down with his head and face, and was then easily dodged by Rhodes, and just as the Administrator wanted to turn around and whirlwind slash, Rhodes opened his left hand, and the nine-shot arcane barrage poured out.
The arcane barrage of purple Yingying was castrated extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached the chest of this administrator.
In the face of Rod's arcane barrage, this man did not dodge or dodge, and after a roar, he accelerated the speed of the axe.
And then...... He was knocked back two steps by the inconspicuous-looking purple barrage, and the inevitable slash landed in the air.
The sudden knockback caused the Administrator to lose his balance slightly, and the pain from the frontal blow to the Arcane barrage under his thick leather jacket made his eyes tremble—in this case, he had to twist his neck to make himself more conscious.
On the other side, Rhodes, who had successfully repelled the enemy, frowned.
According to Rod's calculations, this time he should have been lifted out of the hut and plunged into the snow, but what he didn't expect was that he was only allowed to take a few steps back.
What's the problem?
While on the ship, Rhodes had already cast quite a few spells to break the ice and move the icebergs, and everything was fine before - in other words, it wasn't Rhodes' problem.
Originally, Rhodes meant to settle the battle cleanly, and if necessary, he could even pay tribute to his idol and put on a giant force technique to try out the hand-to-hand combat ability of the staff, but the abnormal effect of the spell made him change his mind.
In order to test his guesses, in the ensuing battle, Rhodes tried spells such as Arcane Stand, Sun Shackles, and Fire Ring - in order to prevent this guy from dying on the spot, he deliberately reduced the strength of the spell.
And the results of the experiment confirmed Rode's suspicion that this guy did have some resistance to any control effect.
This resistance is different from Galio's "resistance to absorbing runic energy", and he will take the same damage, but any restrictions that prevent him from acting on his own are somewhat weakened.
In the game, this property is called ...... Toughness.
And this weakening seems to be...... Sort of interesting exchange - because Rhodes found that the more control he cut, the less clear his mind became.
At first, he wielded a big axe with great sound, but by the end of the day, he had become like a madman, and if Rod had pulled away at this time, he might have danced and screamed, and finally exhausted himself to death.
Although the cost is great, Rhodes sees great potential in this warrior.
If a warrior can't limit his movements, he's too powerful—and Rhodes has only seen one and heard of one warrior who has done that.
The one Rhodes had seen was Grommash Hellroar, and even if Rhodes was at his peak, he could only dodge or resist, and it was almost impossible to block it with spells.
As for the one who heard about it...... He was also an orc, Brooks Sarufar, the orc who slashed Sargeras, and the hazy mirror image of the battle kept by the Night Elves helped Rhodes break through the spell-breaking supermagic specialty, and also set an example for Rhodes to finally repel Sargeras.
Although Rod didn't like warriors much as a spellcaster, he was absolutely sure that if a warrior mastered the art of mitigating or even immune control spells, then he was really qualified to stand on the same level as the caster.
……………………
Half an hour later, when the man finally ran out of strength and collapsed at the mouth, Rod calmly carried him back to the tavern he had been living in.
"That's what you're talking about as a warrior?" After kicking the door unceremoniously, Rhodes threw the manager on the cold floor like a dead dog in a mocking tone, "It doesn't look good." ”
With a bang, the manager's head slammed on the floor, as if a ball of frozen fish had been casually thrown on the cutting board.
Everyone in the tavern subconsciously shrank their necks.
The tavern, which had been silent, was even more silent at the moment.
"Now, the tester is unable to perform his duties because of physical reasons, so I declare: I have passed the test according to the rules of Locke's Law." Rod nodded in satisfaction, then took the staff off his back, "Who approves?" Who is against? ”
No one talked.
Rod narrowed his eyes slightly, then silently raised his staff.
Arcane energy comes alive, and the temperature in the tavern rises rapidly - a precursor to fire magic.
"I'm in favor of—I'm in favor!" When the first drop of sweat fell to the floor, the innkeeper, who couldn't hold on, finally spoke, "You have passed the test of Lockefar!" ”
"I'm against it!" At this moment, a strong man with a big beard suddenly got up, "Where did the birdman come from, thinking that he was a spellcaster?!" Come and taste my great sword! For Demaci—"
"Boom!"
Before Ya could exit, the self-proclaimed righteous adventurer from Demacia was thrown out of the tavern with a fireball.
Just as Rod had calculated before, he plunged headlong into the snowdrift.
Rod's hand saved his life, and the refined Debang armor on his body ensured that he would not climb out of the snow again without an arm or leg.
"This is Freljord, it's not your turn to be a hero of the Demacians."
No one stands up for this man, as Rhodes said, here is Freljord - there is no law, only "honor" and "power" Freljord, there is no fairness here, no justice, there is only the law of the jungle.
Natural selection, the fittest survive, and the unfit can only be sealed forever in the thick of the Freljord Glacier.
"I'm for it!"
"I'm for it too!"
"Welcome to Freljord, this hero!"
Looking at the tavern people who had finally put their attitudes right, Rod nodded slightly, and then snapped his fingers at the boss - "Where's the menu?" Starve me to death! ”
At the same time, a large firework explodes in mid-air, and shortly after, Jana arrives at the tavern with the crew of the Rhodes cruise ship.
The local barbarians and foreign adventurers in the tavern were silent, and even gave up a table quite tacitly.
In the port of Glaser, Rhodes finally completed the landing, and its momentum crossed the river like a raptor.
