Chapter 804 Defense 1
Looking at the large number of terrifying knights outside the Summoning Tower, Rhodes undoubtedly found something worthy of attention.
The vampire who led the way seemed to have noticed Rhodes' doubts about the terrifying knight, but he didn't explain anything to Rhodes, and just led Rhodes forward.
Rhode noticed that in addition to the terrifying knights, there were also a lot of other undead creatures surrounding the Soul Tower. Apart from the undead creatures belonging to Tamik, there seemed to be other undead creatures from other forces.
The situation in front of him made Rhodes realize that it seemed that the undead creatures in the entire city of the dead were attracted by the possible abnormalities in the summoning tower.
Among the many undead creatures, the relationship with each other is not as harmonious as Rhodes expected. What concerned Rhodes was that the objects that the terrifying knights were guarding against were the undead creatures around them.
Frightened by the powerful strength of the terrifying knights, these undead creatures naturally dare not make any unusual moves. In Rhodes' view, if it weren't for the existence of these terrifying knights, perhaps a battle would have erupted around the Soul Summoning Tower long ago.
What surprised Rhodes was that the object these terrifying knights were guarding against was the vampire whom Rhodes was very familiar with. The vampire that appeared here and was hostile to the horror knight was not an evolved vampire like Tamik, but a native vampire with very obvious characteristics.
Regarding the abnormal situation here, especially the existence of these native vampires, although Rhodes had doubts in his heart, he did not raise it to the vampire in front of him, but followed it and moved towards the group of undead creatures.
Soon, Rhodes came outside the Soul Summoning Tower, and found the figure of the city lord Tamik.
In Rhodes' sight, Tamik was still dressed as before, but at this time, she was like those terrifying knights, riding on a fully armed undead horse, maintaining the surrounding order.
As if noticing Rhodes' arrival, Tamik turned his horse around and took the initiative to put his gaze on Rhodes beside him.
The vampire in charge of leading the way brought Rhodes here, gestured to Tamik, and then joined other undead creatures around, leaving only Rhodes in front of Tamik.
"The Summoning Tower is about to open, I believe you are ready for it." Looking at Rhodes aside, Tamik said lightly.
Hearing Tamik's words, Rhodes didn't give his own answer immediately, but looked around, as if he was guarding against something.
It seemed to be affected by the surrounding undead creatures.
"You don't need to be too nervous. These undead creatures around you have nothing to do with your mission and will not threaten your life."
"During this period of waiting, the native vampires near the Tomb of Death also became restless."
"My subordinates told me that these original vampires seem to be preparing for some big move, one after another awakening many king-level vampires who have been sleeping for a long time, including even the oldest and longest-lived hero Degar."
"In my impression, the last awakening of the hero Degar was about four centuries ago. At that time, Degar was active in the territory of Diya as the owner of the vampire cloak, and once established a kingdom belonging to native vampires. Become an immortal ruler alongside the lich."
"It's a pity that immortality is just a title for it. After all, Degar doesn't have the ability to be immortal like a real lich. For a long time, Degar can only spend it in a long sleep. And what it established The vampire kingdom has long since declined and been forgotten by everyone."
"Only a lich can achieve true immortality. I hope you can successfully complete Lord Stephen's mission during this trip."
As if noticing Rhodes' doubts about the large number of undead creatures around him, Tamik took the initiative to explain what happened during this period of time for Rhodes.
After learning from Tamik the reason why so many undead creatures gathered around, and even many terrifying knights appeared, Rhode didn't care about it at this time. Rhodes' attention has been shifted to the vampire hero Degar mentioned by Tamik.
With the memory of the second expansion pack in the previous life, in Rhodes' impression, Degar also played a great role as an important hero of Diya's side in the Battle of the Shadow of Death.
However, Rhodes couldn't recall the specific deeds Degar did in the Death Shadow Battle, and couldn't get more useful information through this method.
In the Battle of the Shadow of Death, Diya's necromancer side had an extremely large number of heroes, far more than any other faction. Under such circumstances, Rhodes' memory of some of the specific heroes was naturally not that great. Clearly, I can only recall such a hero in my memory.
From what Tamik said, Rhodes realized that it was precisely because of the arrival of Sandro and the treasure that looked like a vampire's cloak that existed on his body that this series of changes was triggered. Even the king-level vampire who had been sleeping for a long time was also awakened by Sandro's existence.
After realizing this, Rhodes also had a general view of the undead creatures gathered around him.
According to the information that Rhodes had learned before, the Lich Stephen who existed in the Tomb of Death, although he noticed the abnormality on Sandro early in the morning, he didn't want to start a series of unknown changes so early. He chose a more gentle way to probe his real purpose.
This is naturally the purpose of Rhodes' trip. If Lich Stephen hadn't planned this at the beginning, Rhodes would not be able to obtain the secret technique in Lich Stephen's hands by completing the mission.
Under such circumstances, before knowing Sandro's true intentions, Stephen would definitely not want him to be disturbed by other undead creatures. Even if the undead creatures who came to disturb Sandro were king-level vampire heroes, Stephen would try his best to Avoid this from happening.
Tamik, as Stephen's subordinate, naturally has to carry out this task. Before investigating Sandro's true intentions, he needs to guard the spirit tower.
Even through the probing of these native vampires, Sandro's general strength can be detected, but Stephen also did not allow this. Even if it is a test, it must be carried out within a controllable range. Obviously, this group of native vampires cannot be relied on.
