Chapter 1015 Candidates
The move Rhodes made at this time naturally attracted the attention of the liches in the field, and even made them feel a little confused.
These liches didn't understand why Rhodes killed Phoenix immediately after making a choice.
If it is to transform Phoenix into a vampire-like undead creature, if it does not have a heroic will, the new consciousness in the soul fire will replace its original consciousness, although it can still retain some of its previous habits, but His intelligence level will drop significantly, and the rest of the necromancers will also be able to intuitively distinguish the identity of his undead creature.
The rest of the liches don't necessarily approve of a controlled undead creature becoming a puppet.
Rhode's move, if it was just to show the power of the artifact, in this case, it doesn't have to be so. Many liches in the field have already recognized Rhode's identity, and showing power to an ordinary necromancer also proves that Nothing.
Perhaps only Rhodes himself knows the true meaning of his move.
Through the peeping eyes, after realizing the possible landing point of Phoenix's teleportation, Rhodes just swung the blade in his hand twice, and easily solved it without even consuming any mana.
At this time, looking at the Lich in the field, Rhodes' words came out slowly:
"Then, since all the liches have no objections, the necromancer will be the obvious target."
With that said, Rhodes turned around and looked aside, where there was the only necromancer left in the entire field.
North's figure appeared in Rhode's sight.
Noticing that Rhodes was looking at him, North was taken aback for a moment, then realized the situation at this time, opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't say anything complete discourse.
The conversations on the field, whether it was what the Lich said or Rhode's response, were all heard by North, and he naturally understood what Rhode's move meant.
Following Rhodes' signal, the rest of the liches in the field also turned their attention to North.
"He's just an apprentice-level necromancer, so choosing him as a puppet won't have any impact?"
The voice of the unknown lich who answered Phoenix's words before appeared in the field again, asking Rhodes such a question.
Relying on their own perception, all the liches in the field can easily judge that the necromancer that Rhodes favored can only be regarded as a necromancer apprentice, far inferior to the previous Phoenix in terms of rank.
Whether it's the level of spiritualism or his own temperament, among the liches, this necromancer is inconspicuous. If it weren't for Rhodes' actions at this time, the liches in the field would even completely ignore him.
In the end, it was the mother of the earth, Ashri, who spoke to quell the other liches' doubts about North.
"If it's just a puppet in name, we don't need this necromancer to act, we just need him as a symbol in Diya territory. The strength of the necromancer's apprentice is also convenient for us to control."
Following Ashley's words, the other liches no longer questioned Rhode's choice, and the field returned to silence again.
During this process, except for Rhodes who glanced at North, none of the liches asked North for his opinion. It seemed that the necromancer could only accept all the decisions they made.
Rhodes' choice of North also made the lich in the field understand why he made the move to kill Phoenix.
In the presence of Phoenix, he is undoubtedly the best candidate to become a puppet. Whether it is diplomatic ability, leadership ability, and ability to control the situation, it is enough to reassure the lich in the field. Compared with him, almost no The Lich will choose North, who is far behind him.
Even Rhodes has to admit Phoenix's ability. If he becomes a puppet, he will be able to truly confuse the public. Until the middle of the battle, the entire battle situation will advance according to the established plan, and there will be no major problems. deviation.
What Rhodes was worried about was that Phoenix's abilities in these areas were too strong. The progress of the expansion pack in the previous life had proved to Rhodes that even liches would be bewitched by Phoenix's words, and Rhodes had to I am worried that the existence of Phoenix will have an impact on the later stages of the entire campaign.
At this time, Rhodes did not have the strength of Sandro in the same period of the expansion, so he could not suppress everything with his strength. As the battle progressed, when Finnis became the number one person under the Lich, and his right to speak gradually increased, he would inevitably stir up conflicts between the Lich and the master of the artifact.
If Rhodes had Sandro's strength, and could even kill legendary liches, he would naturally not care about Phoenix's existence, and he would not have to worry about any of his schemes, but Rhodes at this time couldn't do this. a little.
As the battle progresses, the number of Liches will increase tremendously, and the strength of all the liches that join this battle will undergo a qualitative change. At that time, it is hard to say whether they will still be as they are now.
Rhodes can control all undead creatures related to it through the ghost king cloak, including all Liches transformed by Liches.
It's just that, when this ability has not yet manifested, no lich knows it. When Rhodes gave the transformed Lich King to the Liches, they would only think that whoever casts a mental mark on the Lich King would control the Lich King, just like a regular undead creature.
Once the liches know the truth, they naturally don't want to be restrained by the artifact, so that all the liches that they worked so hard to transform in the battle will become Rhodes' subordinates, and if they are provoked by Phoenix at that time, it is very likely that there will be something unexpected happened.
What Rhodes has to worry about is not just losing the artifact. Rowling, who is in Verning, is also the object of Rhodes' worries.
Relying on the effects of the two artifacts, it would be difficult for the Lich to deal with Rhodes if he did not pay a huge price, but it was limited to Rhodes himself, and could not take into account Rowling's existence.
In order to prevent Phoenix from destroying the entire battle and even posing a greater threat, Rhodes can only get rid of it in advance.
According to Rhodes' understanding of Phoenix, even if he doesn't kill Phoenix and let him save his life for the next battle, Phoenix will definitely try his best to replace North's position by his own means, and wait until the battle After it is actually opened, Rhodes may never find any trace of North's existence.
In terms of ability, North may not be as good as Phoenix, but Rhodes doesn't care. Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help turning his gaze to North who was beside him again.
