Chapter 16: The Ambush (Part II)
Rhodes stood on the cliff and looked at the small black spots below, although from this distance, they were almost as small as grains of sand, but Rhodes, as a swordsman who had stepped into the legendary realm, would naturally not be as short-sighted as ordinary people at this moment. He stood there and quickly saw the composition of the other party.
As Rhodes expected, the black, thin ghouls and skeleton cavalry were the main force of this reconnaissance force, led by a death knight in pitch-black armor, and in the middle of these bone shelves, there was a figure wrapped in tattered black robes, although the appearance was not clear, but it could be seen from the white staff held in the opponent's hand, it was a spellcaster. Around him, four translucent psionic creatures loomed, none other than one of the undead army's most common scouting units, the Spectre. Especially in the wild, this kind of omnipotent and cheap and convenient soul creature that can go to the sky and the earth has always been a favorite of the undead army.
"It's a strange ..............."
Frederick, who was hiding in the shadows next to him, frowned, and then the young man withdrew the telescope in his hand and patted his head suspiciously and curiously.
"Strange? What's strange? ”
Sir Bair took the telescope back from his ignorant youngest son, and then he leaned back against the boulder beside him, and curled up in a ball to lean against the shadow, so as to avoid the reflection of the sun's rays directly on the telescope, which they had come to play a surprise attack, and of course they could not be detected by the enemy.
"How so......... It felt like the undead were wilting, like plants that had been exposed to too much sun, and looked like they were about to dry up. ”
That's an interesting analogy.
"Mr. Frederick is right."
Hearing Frederick's words, Rod smiled inwardly, in fact, it was exactly like this, in fact, he could see that the original strength of these undead creatures was not weak. Except for the lich, which is a monster that is determined to step into the legendary realm, the rest are about fifty levels from the player's point of view, but now their strength is probably not even level forty, and it is no wonder that since they entered their own territory, this group of poor undead creatures has entered the undead enchantment range of the Holy Maiden statue. As necromantic creatures, they are naturally greatly weakened by the amount of divine power. This is also another reason why the undead do not dare to approach the fortress, the three holy maidens built by Rhodes seem to be arranged in an equilateral triangle position, but he tries to ensure that the fortress is centered on the overlap, that is to say, the closer to the fortress, the more the undead will weaken the strength of the undead. The undead were also clearly aware of this, so now they chose to take a detour to see if there was a way to get around it.
However, Rhodes knew very well that these guys were completely blind and lit in vain, spreading from the mountains of the Land of Atonement to the edge of the mouth of the wind, and the three statues of the Holy Maiden encompassed almost the entire frontline area. If the undead really want to bypass here, then they can only go to the Wind Mouth, but it is not easy there, as part of the mountain road canyon, the Wind Mouth blows more than twelve winds almost every day for three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and if the undead army really wants to attack from there, it will be a brain pump. And if they reach other people's territory if they go outward, it will be equivalent to automatically abandoning the Parfield-Glenn Bell front, which is naturally undesirable for Rod. As for whether the pressure on the other fronts will be greatly increased by this, it is none of Rod's business, he is only a lord of a land, not a king of a country. Just take care of your own territory.
However, Rhodes knew that this was just a delusion, how could the undead legion give up this front. They're not fools.
"According to the plan."
Rod turned and gestured to the others around him.
"Sir Bair, you and your senior sister go around on the left, there is a ravine, you can follow it to the back of those guys, these guys will most likely retreat as soon as they see that something is wrong, so you must speed up to prevent any accidents. I will take the others and attack them from the front, and we will unite and surround them in the middle. ”
As he spoke, Rod stretched out his hand and drew a large circle.
"But you don't need to act first, wait for my commands. If the undead engage in battle, they run. Then we'll hurry up, but if these guys dare to stay, then you can wait for my orders after you have arranged them according to what you said you said, understand? ”
"No problem, my lord."
Frederick picked up the sword beside him and nodded vigorously with a smug smile, and it was obvious that he couldn't wait. Still, the young man turned his head curiously and glanced at Rhodes.
"However, I really didn't expect the lord to be so familiar with this place, I think you must be patrolling here often."
"It is the responsibility and obligation of every lord to be familiar with his own territory."
Hearing Frederick's words, Rhodes stared at the holographic map in front of him and replied without squinting. He found that since he came to this world, if nothing else, his ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open has improved rapidly, and he is afraid that he has completely completed his talent.
On the contrary, Serena looked at the black dot in the distance with some confusion, and then turned to look at Rod with a puzzled look.
"Lord Rhodes, why would these undead want to escape? One of them is a lich, logically speaking............... The difference in strength between the two of us shouldn't be so big..............."
"It wasn't that big, but now it's different, Miss Serena."
In the face of Serena's inquiry, Rod smiled slightly, and then he exchanged a look with Qilian.
"But now is not the time to say this, it's better to see than to hear, oh, by the way, Miss Serena, if you confront that lich in a moment, don't think of it as a monster stepping into the realm of legends, just treat it as a ..............." At this point, Rhodes paused, and after careful conversion and consideration, he spoke. Just think of it as a guy whose strength is between the middle and upper ranks in Central. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Rod's answer, Serena couldn't help but be dumbfounded, how could she not believe her ears, as we all know, every lich must be a monster that has stepped into the legendary realm, which is also the reason why they are powerful and terrifying, of course, there are not no exceptions and strange things, such as the stupid guy who Rod met at the beginning and used angels as a life box. But that kind of thing is rare after all, and more lichs don't have such brain-pumping times. Since the other party is a lich of the Night Country, it must be a regular background, and it is certain that he will step into the legendary realm, but now this lord actually said that it only has the strength of the middle to upper ranks in Central, which is ...............
"Alright, Serena, let's go."
Before Serena could say anything more, she was dragged away by the itchy Frederick who had been waiting for a long time, but the poor mage could only look at Rod, hoping that he could give herself a clear answer, but Rod obviously did not intend to do so, he just watched Serena's figure disappear to the other side, and then shook his head slightly, and at the same time leaned down, looking intently ahead through the gap.
The speed of the undead is not slow, and soon they are getting closer and closer to Rhodes and the others, I have to say that these bone frames are very good at choosing places, although they can't climb over the steep cliffs from here, but in the middle of the mountain, there is a naturally formed earth and stone platform, if it can be used, it can become a very good sentry. Although it was not easy to go up and down there, Rhodes knew very well that the undead did not need to come down, and they did not need to eat or drink, which was much better than humans. In fact, in the game, the sentry of the undead often does this, and many players who are angry are staring at them below, they can't go up, the other party can't get down, but the other party doesn't need to come down, it's just infuriating.
But the undead didn't look refreshed at the moment, but they walked heavily, the four ghosts entrenched around the lich loomed, and the death knight at the front was weak, with long black tail feathers hanging from their armor as if they had lost a battle.
Hehe, I didn't expect you to have such a day.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod couldn't help but feel the pleasure of revenge in his heart. In the game, the undead are very difficult to detect, in addition to their own strong defense, the miasma in the area occupied by the undead is also a big problem, ordinary humans can support it for half an hour at most before they die, even if it is a player, after entering it, they will also get a weakening effect, only those who have prepared blessings in advance or equipped with blessing props can escape a catastrophe. At that time, the undead were itchy to hate the area effect, and now that the courtesies are still exchanged, it is time for this group of bone frames to taste this taste.
These undead creatures are very vigilant, but it's a pity that the death-proof enchantment of the Holy Maiden statue suppresses their attributes, and I'm afraid that at the moment, this group of undead creatures can't even release their normal sensing power. Rod silently moved to the side with the help of the edge of the rock, and soon came to the front of the other party's left, he squinted his eyes, looked at the holographic map in front of him——— behind him, and several other points of light had successfully evaded the search of the undead and reached their destination.
Everything is ready to go.
Rhodes raised his head and stared at the Death Knight in front of him.
It's time for you to get a taste of being attacked.
Thinking of this, he jumped forward. (To be continued......)
