Chapter 658 Allegiance
In addition to the consideration of Verning's future situation, the obelisk mentioned in Rhodes' words is also one of the reasons for attracting ice elements.
Before that, Rhodes hadn't shown his true strength. In the eyes of Ice Element, he would not believe what a high-level mage said.
However, after the battle between Rhodes and his party and Witt, the thoughts in the heart of the ice element undoubtedly changed greatly.
Even if it comes from the Water Elemental Plane, the Ice Elemental only has a general understanding of the existence of the Hydra Trench. Knowing that such a location exists, there is no such thing as Rhodes, who came to this location to investigate in person. The information it knows, It is far inferior to Rhodes.
In this case, the ice element naturally hopes to learn more about the Hydra Trench from Rhodes, the most important of which is the existence of the obelisk.
Once the mage forces in Weierning fell into a disadvantage as a whole, if the ice element wanted to explore the traces of the handed down artifacts, it would undoubtedly take a lot of energy to do so.
At this time, seeing that Rhodes had noticed his existence, the ice element immediately said:
"Powerful necromancer, you have proved your strength with your actions. I am willing to lead other elemental creatures to serve you in exchange for your protection of the elemental creatures in Weierning."
Even in terms of appearance, the ice elemental is very different from ordinary humanoid creatures, but the words it speaks are still a kind of common language, and Rhodes can also understand them. This point, as early as the previous exchange During the process, Rhodes confirmed it.
"The lord Witt you were originally loyal to has died in my hands, don't you want to avenge him?"
Regarding the words of the ice element, although Rhodes had already guessed its thoughts, he did not agree immediately, but asked this point.
"The elemental creatures who fled to Weierning did not receive fair treatment from Witt. For Witt, we are just a weapon for him to expand his territory. His attitude towards elemental creatures is different from that of other mages in Bracadane. , is no different."
"But you are different. You know so much about the elemental plane I used to live in, and even after winning the victory, you deliberately spared my life. I believe that with such powerful strength, you have a great relationship with elemental creatures, nature and Witt. very different."
According to Ice Element's previous experience, for these Bracada mages, as long as they deliberately brag a few words during the conversation, especially the strengths of the other party, they can feel extremely proud and let go of their vigilance. in many things,
can be easily achieved.
The previous Witt was such a mage. Whether his true attitude towards elemental creatures is as the ice element said, perhaps only the ice element in front of him knows this.
However, looking at Rhodes, whose expression didn't change, Ice Elemental suddenly realized that the techniques that worked on other mages in the past didn't work on Rhodes this time.
At this time, after hearing the explanation given by the ice element, Rhodes said:
"I don't think there is any difference between Witt and me. If it weren't for the fact that elemental creatures could hardly be transformed into undead creatures, you would have been dead for a long time now.
"In my opinion, what you said that you are willing to be loyal to me is probably just a lie. You should have other purposes to make this decision."
Hearing Rhodes' words, the ice element felt alert. From its point of view, Rhodes seems to have realized its true purpose, which is to collect information about the obelisk. What the ice element can't understand is how Rhodes knew this.
However, Rhode's next words undoubtedly made the ice element feel at ease.
"Your real purpose is that after seeing my strength, you know that you can't resist. In order to protect other elemental creatures and not suffer losses in this kind of meaningless battle, you made this choice, right? "
"If it was another period, I would not accept this kind of allegiance. Elemental creatures that are difficult to be transformed into undead creatures are a hidden danger for any necromancer."
"It's just that Weierning is no longer as calm as before. Elemental creatures like you may be able to produce miraculous effects at certain moments."
"I accept your allegiance and am willing to provide shelter for the elemental creatures under my command, but you still need to join the battle."
From Rhodes' words, the ice element realized that his original idea had been successfully achieved.
From the point of view of the ice element, although Rhodes discovered some abnormalities, he did not guess that his real purpose was for Weining's handed down artifact.
And this is what Rhodes originally wanted to achieve. When the ice element was most vigilant, after hearing this wrong answer, he felt relaxed and couldn't maintain this vigilance.
Rowling, who was on the side, saw the changes in the expressions of Rhodes and the ice element, and seemed to realize something.
At this time, looking at the ice element aside, Rhodes said:
"What I want you to do is to return to Witt's territory, take advantage of Witt's death, and the whole force is in chaos, to attract other elemental creatures who came here like you, and when the Necromancer's counterattack comes Take advantage of the opportunity when the mages are not prepared, and attack these mages together."
The war in Bracada undoubtedly gave Rhodes an excellent opportunity. Under such circumstances, after losing the high-ranking mage stationed there, the weakening of mage power in Weierning undoubtedly became an inevitable trend.
With the death of the only high-level mage in the mage force in Weining, the entire mage force will fall into chaos.
What Rhodes had to do was to take advantage of this opportunity to rapidly expand the power of necromancers in Weierning, until they had enough strength, and then they could use this opportunity to enter the second expansion pack.
After hearing Rhodes' order, the ice element seemed to hesitate for a moment, but said nothing to Rhodes, but simply nodded.
Seeing that Rhodes had no other orders, Ice Element took a special dark blue ice crystal from himself and handed it to Rhodes. After using it as a special contact method, he turned and left.
After the ice element left, Rhode turned his gaze back to Rowling who was beside him.
The figure of the ghost dragon descended from the sky. During this period of time, the remaining magical elements had already been exhausted, and Rhodes did not intend to stay here any longer, but led Rowling to board the ghost dragon, preparing to leave from here.
