Chapter 62 Melee 1
Rhodes stepped forward directly and faced the retreating undead creature.
Since Rhodes and the vampires were at the outermost edge of the battlefield at this time, other undead creatures around could only retreat in Rhodes' direction. Seeing this opportunity, Rhodes immediately stepped forward to meet them.
Faster than Rhodes was the vampire who had been waiting on the side. The vampire rushed forward and rushed towards the group of undead creatures.
I have been paying attention to the ghost here, and quickly face the vampire, trying to block it.
After the vampire got close to the ghost, he ignored the ghost in the venue and chose to bat immediately.
The overall attributes of vampires are higher than those of ghosts, but they still cannot kill ghosts quickly. In the previous battle, Rhodes realized this.
Therefore, Rhodes directly let the bat generated after the bat transformation pass over the ghost and pounce on the undead creature behind.
Since there are a large number of walking corpses in the undead creatures behind, under Rhode's order, the bats all rushed to these walking corps, completely ignoring the ghosts around the walking corpses, and just focused on biting the walking corpses.
The walking corpse is slow, and there is no way to deal with these bats. As long as the bat can hang on the walking corpse, unless there are other undead creatures around to help, the walking corpse cannot tear the bat off the body.
At this time, the ghosts and ghosts in the rear took action one after another to help the surrounding walking corpses to remove the bats on their bodies, which undoubtedly greatly slowed their retreat.
Just as the bats were frantically biting these walking corpses, Rhodes also joined the battle.
Rhode swung his sword and faced the nearest ghost.
After the ghost is transformed into a vampire bat, it loses its target and can only try to attack the bats flying in the sky and help these undead creatures around to clean up the bats.
Just as Rhodes stabbed the ghost with his sword, the ghost seemed to sense something and dodged directly behind.
Because the ghost can float in the air, and the speed of dodge is extremely fast, Rhodes stabbed the sky with a sword, and then swung his sword again, slashing at the ghost in front of him.
The ghost raised his hands and guarded it in front of him. Rhode's blade slashed on the hands of the ghost, but it did not achieve any results. The blade did not cut off the hand bones of Yin Soul, but it seemed to have chopped off an extremely hard object, and was bounced off by the hand bones of Yin Soul.
The place where the ghost was hit instantly emitted a dark light, and the dark light flowed through the whole body. This attack of Rhodes did not seem to cause effective damage to the ghost.
After resisting Rhode's attack, the ghost swiped its backhand at Rhodes.
Rhodes turned to the side to avoid this attack from the ghost, and at the same time slashed down with a sword, but was blocked by the ghost again.
Rhode knew that due to his low basic attributes, his normal attacks alone would not be able to cause effective damage to the ghosts, and using skills could not attack the key points of the ghosts, plus he had to face other enemies. best choice.
Seeing the ghost waved its claws at him again, Rhode glanced at the field, and after determining the distance between himself and the vampire, he issued an order to the vampire through his mental imprint, and immediately, the bats on the surrounding walking corpses left Go, gather on the flanks of the battlefield.
Rhode raised his hand, and a magic ring of ice was released centered on him.
In an instant, the ice-blue ripples quickly spread out, hitting all the nearby undead creatures, shocking them into an unstable shape, especially the ghost in front of Rhodes. When Rhodes released the ice magic ring, the ghost was in the closest position beside Rhodes, and suffered the maximum damage that the ice magic ring could cause.
When the ice magic ring hit the ghost and passed by, a different light flashed on the ghost's body. The color of this light is different from the dark light that flashed before, but a strange light that is biased towards blue.
As this ray of light swept across the ghost's body, its health value originally taken away by the ice magic ring recovered most of it. Rhodes noticed this feature of the ghost. But at this time,
This feature appears to be less important.
After Rhodes raised his hand to release the ice magic ring, he immediately swung a sword in front of him.
Just when the dark blue light on the ghost appeared, Rhode's blade reached the front of the ghost's body.
In order to make this attack effective, Rhode used all the skills that he can currently use in this attack, just to kill the ghost quickly.
Since the ghost has just been impacted by the magic ring of ice, although the damage caused by the magic can be recovered through its own characteristics, there is still a period of time when the impact cannot be avoided due to the impact of the magic, and the blade is accurately cut on the neck of the ghost. , kill it.
The purpose of Rhodes releasing this ice magic ring, in addition to affecting the surrounding undead creatures, is to expose the flaws of the ghosts beside him, so that he can find the opportunity to take action.
After the ghost was killed, without the obstruction of high-level undead creatures, Rhodes began to quickly kill the surrounding low-level undead creatures.
The vampires fought with these undead creatures on the side of the battlefield. After killing some walking corpses, the two ghosts on the side rushed to the vampires, relying on their own characteristics to entangle the vampires.
The undead creatures who had retreated were stopped by Rhodes and the vampires, and they could only fight again.
Previously, the mayor did not choose to pursue these retreating undead creatures because he was afraid that the undead creatures under him would lose too much. Whether it was sending his skeleton warriors to fight, or using magic to block the retreat of these undead creatures, the mayor did nothing.
But at this time, seeing Rhodes taking action on these undead creatures, the mayor also made new moves.
The skeleton warriors who originally surrounded the mansion and formed a battle formation, moved quickly forward in a special formation, intending to attack the retreating undead creatures.
This group of skeleton warriors formed two rows. Those who were injured in the previous battle were in the back row, and those who were not injured were in the front row. The skeleton warriors in the front row propped up their shields and advanced towards the undead creatures not far away.
If it is said that the mayor was reluctant to take action at first and was planning to find a good opportunity to take action, then he has undoubtedly found it at this time.
Skeleton warriors meet these retreating undead creatures. For a time, the retreat of these undead creatures completely stopped. Under the siege of Rhodes and the mayor, the undead creatures began to rapidly reduce their numbers.
Rhodes did not care about the mayor's actions, but concentrated on killing the surrounding undead creatures in front of him.
Suddenly, a feeling of palpitations emerged in Rhodes' heart, and Rhodes rolled away without even thinking about it. At this moment, a dark red magic arrow brushed past Rhodes.
This magical arrow shot out from the dark, and Rhode didn't feel any abnormality before it was shot. If it wasn't for Rhode's perception of danger, let Rhode roll and dodge immediately, maybe he would have been hit by the magic arrow.
Rhodes finished rolling and looked at the location where the magic arrow was shot, which was far from here, giving Rhodes time to dodge the magic arrow.
Due to the existence of black clouds, Rhodes' vision is extremely poor, and there is no fire there, Rhodes can't see the specific situation there, but only vaguely feels that someone is standing in the darkness over there, observing situation on the battlefield.
At this time, the mayor also began to use magic. A wall of fire rose from the retreating ranks of undead, dividing them in the middle.
For a time, the team of undead creatures was separated into two parts by this wall of fire.
The mayor obviously wanted to use this method to confuse the opponent and create an opportunity for the skeleton warriors to take action.
Although the mayor is inside the mansion, he obviously has a relatively intuitive grasp of the overall battle situation on the field, and there will be no mistakes.
At this time, the Necromancer in the dark saw this, and in order to deal with the mayor's wall of fire, he also raised a wall of fire in front of the Skeleton Warriors, separating the Skeleton Warriors from their undead creatures.
Since the battle was in the mayor's courtyard, the overall space was not spacious. The range of a wall of fire was enough to block the entire road ahead. For a time, the skeleton warriors were also unable to pass through this wall of fire.
On the battlefield, two walls of fire rose to separate their formations, which was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Rhodes.
In the team separated by the fire wall, in the direction close to Rhodes, most of the undead creatures are ghosts and walking corpses. These two kinds of undead creatures belong to the objects that Rhodes can kill quickly.
With the help of the wall of fire, without the obstruction of high-level undead creatures, Rhodes can easily kill these undead creatures.
Rhode's blade swung out one after another, quickly killing these undead creatures around him. During the battle, Rhodes had already discovered some problems.
Due to the need to guard against spells that may strike again, Rhodes did not focus all his attention on the battle, but set aside part of his spirit to be on guard. Because of this, Rhodes discovered some abnormalities.
Rhode realized that under the interception of himself and the vampires, these retreating undead creatures had been greatly damaged, and the hidden necromancer had no action except for the release of two spells. , or to retreat in time seemed hesitant.
Rhodes also has his own views on the hidden necromancer. This hidden necromancer, whether it was manipulating the ghosts to fight before, or casting spells and making decisions at this time, did not find the best time.
These thoughts flashed through Rhodes' mind. Rhodes was still dealing with these undead creatures in front of him, and the movements in his hands did not stop.
As the battle progressed, the wall of fire blocking the skeleton warriors dissipated first, and then the wall of fire in the middle of the undead team dissipated.
Although the dissipation of the fire wall was only a momentary thing, Rhode obviously noticed this. According to the duration of the fire wall, Rhodes understood that the spiritual attributes of the mayor obviously surpassed those of the hidden necromancer.
Since most of the undead creatures in front have been killed by Rhodes, Rhodes just set his eyes on the undead creatures behind, and saw the two ghosts behind him rushing towards him.
Rhode was shocked and was about to release the ice magic ring, but found that the two ghosts didn't even think about attacking him, but moved to the side, bypassed him, and headed in the direction from which the magic arrow was shot. rushed over.
Rhodes did not cast any spells, but just watched the ghosts leave. Since there is more than one ghost, if Rhode wants to forcibly keep the ghost, he will be attacked by the two ghosts.
At this time, there were several ghosts who also wanted to retreat. Rhode did not let them retreat so safely, but stepped forward to block them.
Since these undead creatures were intent on retreating, after Rhodes killed two ghosts, the rest of the ghosts all fled into the darkness.
Ahead, there are still some walking corpses that have not been killed, but this is only a matter of time. Whether it is the skeleton warrior on the mayor's side or the vampire on Rhode's side, they can kill these walking corpses without any loss. kill.
Just as the vampire killed a walking corpse, a skeleton warrior directly slashed at the vampire with his sword.
The vampire quickly evaded the attack of the skeleton warrior to the side, and was about to fight back against the skeleton warrior, but the shield struck by another skeleton warrior came in front of the vampire.
In the face of the shield, the vampire also had no countermeasures, so he had to dodge towards the rear. The vampire gestured towards Rhodes through the mental imprint.
Receiving the reminder in the mental imprint, Rhodes looked at the mayor's side.
At this time, the vampires are fighting these skeleton warriors, but it seems that the situation is not particularly good. Under the siege of the Skeleton Warriors, the vampires wanted to attack, but they were always pushed back by the shields of the Skeleton Warriors.
The advantage of the number of skeleton warriors was immediately reflected. In the face of many skeleton warriors holding shields in front, even if the vampire wants to kill one first, it will be blocked by the skeleton warrior next to him. Vampires also don't have a good idea of what to do with these skeleton warriors.
The vampire's own advantages could not be brought into play at all. Instead, the skeleton warriors had the greatest advantage under the control of the mayor.
Rhodes looked at these skeleton warriors. The shields in the hands of these skeleton warriors seem to be specially made, wider than the shields held by the skeleton warriors that Rhodes had seen before.
The round shields held by the general skeleton warriors are only used for undead creatures, so they will not be made too large, and can only protect a small part of the body. The mayor's shield is obviously specially made, and almost the entire body of the skeleton warrior is covered. guard behind.
Rhodes recalled that these shields were almost catching up with the shields that Uther had held before.
With sophisticated equipment and the mayor's control, the battle formation formed by these skeleton warriors can block a lot of time even in the face of a large number of enemies. When faced with a single enemy, the role of these skeleton warriors really comes into play, suppressing vampires higher than them.
For a time, the vampire couldn't move smoothly, and could only be completely suppressed like this.
Seeing this, Rhode did not care about the retreating undead creatures around him, but rushed directly in the direction of the skeleton warrior.
