Chapter 54: The Battle of the Cemetery
I have to say that Rod's tone was really big, and it made Shanna and the others stunned at once, they originally thought that the two sides were just cooperating or something, but as soon as this sentence came out——— this was tantamount to making us his subordinates.
And other people's reactions to Rod's words are also different.
Old Walker clasped his hands in front of his chest, smiling and watching the excitement beside him, along the way, he already had a considerable understanding of this young man's strength and command ability, in his opinion, this kid is well-informed, and his command ability and adaptability are quite good. It's just that mouth is too faceless, saying that one is one, saying two is two, and it can't be refuted and doesn't give a chance. Rod's words made it clear that Shanna and the others were too weak to believe them, so it was better to leave it to himself to command.
Although this is not inherently wrong, this is a real ......... That's a ring.
Compared to old Walker watching the show on the sidelines, Marlene took it for granted, she didn't understand the ways between mercenaries, but in her opinion, the four of them could walk here unscathed under the command of Rod, and so many people on the other side ended up fighting so badly, it was normal for them to listen to Rod's orders, wasn't it? As for the large number of opponents? Hey, the mage never believed that people were more powerful.........
On the contrary, Lijie was a little embarrassed, because she was the only one who was friends with the other party, and now she had to change from a friend to a subordinate all of a sudden, and Rod's statement was so unkind and did not give them face, which also made Lijie a little unsure of what to say. But the girl is not stupid, she knows very well that it is better not to open her mouth at this time.
As a mercenary leader who has experienced many things, Shanna quickly reacted, she looked at Rhodes in front of her, but she didn't know how to speak.
In all fairness, Shanna didn't want to agree to this condition, because after all, the two sides belonged to different places, and in this case, the people on her side were likely to be pushed by the other party as meat shields. But Rod's attitude is so resolute, it is clear that there is no room for maneuver, if he does not agree, I am afraid that the next road will be difficult to walk.
And just as Shanna was thinking, suddenly a voice sounded from her side.
"Hmph, why do you want us to listen to your command! Big sister, don't listen to him, there are more of us than them, it should be that they need our help! ”
A young mercenary in leather armor and holding a two-handed sword jumped out, looked at Rhodes unpleasantly, and then spoke.
"Barney, there's no place for you to speak!"
Hearing the young mercenary's complaints, Shanna only felt a headache, and she waved her hand to signal the other party to stand down. But it was clear that the young mercenary named Barney was clearly not stopping there.
"But eldest sister, this guy is too much......... He made it clear that he was going to send us to death and then pick up the bargain in the back! Such a despicable villain, we ......"
"Despicable villain?"
Rhodes hadn't gotten angry yet, but Marlene couldn't help but speak.
"So that's how mercenaries treat their saviors? If it weren't for us, you would have died in this hellish place. ”
"Even without you, we would still have survived!"
Barney gritted his teeth and retorted, but Marlene snorted coldly and raised her chin to stop looking at him. In her opinion, as a nobleman, talking to inferior people is a charity for them, since the other party is so ignorant, then there is no need for her to surrender her identity and waste time with this kind of guy.
It was clear that Marlene's disregard had angered the young mercenary, and he took a sip and was about to say something more, when Shanna finally got angry.
"Shut up, Barney! If you say half a word more, you don't want to stay any longer! ”…,
"Big Sister Head ............"
Looking at the angry Shanna, Barney felt extremely aggrieved. What about the aristocracy? It took a lot of effort for us to get here, and now these scumbags want to use us as meat shields, how can there be such a good thing?! We mercenaries are also dignified, how can we be at their mercy! Maybe the eldest sister is afraid of these nobles, but I'm not afraid! Even if they have the power and money, I will fight them to the end! No compromise!
"I am willing to grant your request, sir."
Shanna also figured it out at this time, after all, no matter what, it was indeed tricky for herself and others to face these undead creatures, and Shanna herself was at a loss for how to deal with that damn necromancer, but this young man seemed very confident. Then it's not a problem to leave it to him.
"I'm going to make sure that everyone is completely following my orders."
After receiving Shanna's assurance, Rod spoke again, and he looked at the mercenary standing behind Shanna, his tone as flat and unquestionable as ever.
"On the premise that you obey my orders, I will do my best to ensure the safety of your lives. But if anyone doesn't want to follow my commands......... Then your life or death has nothing to do with me. ”
Saying this, Rhodes looked at the young mercenary standing beside the red-haired female swordsman, stubbornly raising his head and staring at him.
"If anyone is unwilling to follow my orders, they can stand up now, and I don't want any trouble in the fight."
"Humph!"
Sensing Rod's gaze, Barney snorted, but didn't stand up. In his opinion, this cunning aristocrat was obviously sowing discord between himself and others, and he absolutely could not be at his mercy. Moreover, he will not leave, in case this young nobleman wants to play any conspiracy, he can also stop him at the first time.
Whatever you want to do, I won't let you get your way!
The boy clenched his fists and swore inwardly.
With the addition of Shanna and the others, everyone's advance speed also accelerated a lot, and soon, they reached the lowest underground cemetery.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Under the flying and bursting of the chain of lightning, the undead creatures were blasted into the sky, and then fell to the ground in pieces, leaving no longer any threat.
Their strength is really strong.
Looking at Marlene, who was holding a staff and was at ease, and Rhodes, who was calmly directing in front of him, Shanna couldn't help but think of this idea. If at the beginning, she still had some doubts about whether Rod and the others were lying, then now she no longer has that doubt. Marlene's powerful spell skills and Rod's command were just right, and the undead creatures that had made Shanna and her sisters fight so hard were harvested like straw in front of them.
This young man is really strong.
Thinking of this, Shanna couldn't help but move her gaze to Rod, who was standing at the front and following the black hound. Although the mercenary on that day assessed that she was also present, it was only after personal contact that she realized what a powerful skill it was.
"Almost."
Unlike Shanna, Rhodes didn't let his mind down, and after eliminating another wave of ghouls, he watched around warily as he took out a ring from his bosom and placed it on his finger. And the inlay on it is the soul binding stone that Rhodes got in the old mansion before. After obtaining this stone, Rhodes cut it into three equal parts and set it in the silver ring he bought, although Rhodes's alchemy level was not high, but this level of inlay manufacturing was still made. …,
The size of the Soul Binding Stone is directly proportional to the level of souls it can bind, too small a stone cannot bind a powerful soul, and too large a stone would be a bit wasteful, and now this size is just right. And the reason why Rod took out the Soul Binding Stone at this time is obviously that there is only one goal.
"!!Shh
Just as the smoke and dust cleared and were about to return to silence, several black shadows suddenly flew out of the dust and attacked everyone.
If it had been before, then I am afraid that everyone would be surprised and shaken by this sudden attack, but this time, when Rhodes had been prepared, the other party's surprise attack did not achieve any effect. As Marlene chanted, the swirling storm turned into a barrier, dispersing the shadows.
And only then did everyone see clearly that it was a sharp thorn made of white bones.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey........."
At the same time, a cold, shrill voice came from all directions, with the coldness and evil peculiar to dead things.
"I didn't expect you to be able to break into here......"
"It's a necromancer!"
Shanna let out a low snort, then raised the long sword in her hand, and soon, red flames burned from her sword, enveloping the long sword, which was a fire-attribute magic weapon that the female mercenary group leader had obtained a long time ago, although in terms of level, it was only a rare level of magic equipment, but for this small mercenary group, it was already the most powerful killing weapon.
"Listen to my commands, and don't forget my words."
Compared to the current Shanna, who was like the great enemy, Rhodes was obviously much calmer, he held the star mark in his hand, squinted his eyes and carefully observed the surroundings, I don't know when the darkness has become thicker, they are like an invisible, heavy curtain, enveloping everyone in it. In this case, there is a high probability that the danger will come from all directions and be difficult to guard against.
Only Rhodes knew that danger came from only one place.
He raised his sword.
The next moment, everyone only saw the long sword in Rhodes' hand cut a bright line in the darkness, piercing into the deep darkness with no indefiniteness.
At the same time, the originally thick darkness collapsed instantly, and a necromancer in a black robe quickly retreated from it, holding a staff composed of white bones and human heads, and looked at Rhodes standing not far in front of him in disbelief.
How did this young man see through his own dark magic?
But before the necromancer could come up with an answer, Rhodes had already raised his sword and struck at him again.
"Act according to the plan!"
