Rhodes turned his gaze to the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.
The sound of the horse's hooves gradually became calmer from far away to nearer. It was obvious that the owner of the horse had slowed down its pace. Finally, not far from Rhodes, the sound of the horse's hooves stopped completely. The enemies in the rear obviously knew that Rhodes was here.
He stopped, so he slowed down and dismounted in advance.
Rhodes saw an elf wearing a light green robe appearing in the direction he came from. The elf's face looked a little old.
At this time, the old elf looked at Rhodes with only hatred.
Recalling the scenes he observed on the battlefield, Rhodes knew that the elf in front of him was the mage leader who originally attacked the camp, the court mage the elves called him.
Although he had heard of the existence of the Palace Mage before and had some contact with it on the battlefield, it was not until now that Rhodes observed the appearance of the Palace Mage head-on for the first time.
The court mage was also looking at Rhodes at this time, but made no move.
When there was still some distance from here, the palace mage noticed something unusual on Rhodes' side from a distance.
At this time, there is a large amount of death energy gathered here. For the court mage, even if he does not use the treasure, this death energy is like a beacon, guiding the court mage to this place.
Looking at the bone vine guards and vampires who were absorbing the energy of death, the court mage's eyes showed a hint of coldness, but he did not make any move. Instead, he focused his attention on Rhodes again.
It stands to reason that due to their different camps, once the two people meet, there will be irresolvable hatred. The court mage will directly cast spells to gain the upper hand in the battle, but the court mage did not do so.
The two of them just looked at each other, and neither of them made any move for a while.
At this time, in front of Rhodes, the bone vine guard stood up again.
Compared with the original state, the body of the bone vine guard has undergone great changes at this time.
A large number of bone-like structures covered the original body of the Bone Vine Guard. In addition, a large number of vines protruded from the entire body of the Bone Vine Guard, and they were waving rapidly around. For a time, the place was filled with canes whipping them.
The sound it makes is full of momentum.
The original cracks on the bone vine guard's body have been restored to perfection due to the spread of the bone structure. Even the broken legs have been restored at this time.
Under the influence of the death energy, the bone vine completely assimilates the body of the dead wood guard. At this time, the bone vine guard can be regarded as a whole.
On the side, the vampire also realized the power of the enemy in front of him, gave up absorbing the surrounding death energy, and turned to the court mage, preparing to meet the enemy.
Although the vampire does not show the power of the Bone Vine Guard, the darker black claws on the vampire's hands and the more ferocious fangs in its mouth also indicate that its strength has been improved.
At this time, there was a slight noise behind the palace mage.
Although no creature appeared behind, the faint sound of horse hooves proved that there was a creature behind.
After the bone vine guard fell to the ground, Rhodes realized that he might not be able to reach the cliff and that the enemy was about to appear. Therefore, Rhodes immediately asked the centaur leader at the cliff to return to him.
At this time, the noise coming from behind the palace mage came from the centaur leader.
Rhodes didn't know whether the centaur leader lurking nearby could successfully surprise the palace mage, but after the palace mage glanced at the centaur leader's position, Rhodes knew that the centaur leader had been discovered.
Therefore, Rhodes did not let the centaur leader continue to hide, but directly let him walk out of the forest.
The Centaur leader still held the two battle axes that Rhodes had seen before.
Behind the centaur leader, there are also a large number of undead creatures. In addition to the group of ordinary centaurs that Rhodes handed over to the centaur leader in advance, there are also many walking corpses transformed from ordinary humans.
During the time when Rhodes went to Diya, the centaur leader provided Rhodes with a large amount of experience points through battles. Rhodes knew that these were all done under the control of the spiritual imprint.
If you let go of the control of the spiritual mark and let the centaur leader make decisions based on his own combat qualities and lead his undead creatures in battle, Rhodes can gain more experience points.
But the centaur leader is obviously unwilling to be loyal to Rhodes. Once Rhodes releases his spiritual imprint, the centaur leader will even directly attack Rhodes.
Even so, due to the attribute bonus brought by the hero template, coupled with the identity of the death knight, the centaur leader's real strength is far stronger than the vampire at this time.
At Rhodes's signal, the centaur leader also joined the battlefield with his undead creatures.
At this time, all the undead creatures in Rhodes gathered on the battlefield, just to deal with the powerful enemy in front of them, the court mage.
Seeing this situation, the court mage Ed, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "Are these all the undead creatures you control?"
After hearing the question from the Palace Mage, Rhodes didn't say anything more, but made the best preparations for the battle.
For the court mage with [Undead Killer], even if Rhodes chooses to let the undead creatures launch a surprise attack, it will not achieve much effect. On the contrary, it will cause considerable losses to the undead creatures.
Therefore, Rhodes did not plan to take action first, but waited for the action of the palace mage.
At this time, the court mage looked at Rhodes, and a wave of mana suddenly flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, Rhodes had a feeling of being seen through, and this feeling disappeared instantly. Although it was only for a moment, Rhodes knew that the court mage used the [Perspective Eye] on him.
Under the influence of the spell [Perspective Eye], the mage can know most of the special skills possessed by the opponent, as well as tips on whether to become a hero.
In Rhode's sight, the court mage suddenly let out several long laughs. In addition to a sense of joy, the smile also contained a sense of bitterness.
After laughing, the court mage looked at Rhodes again and said: "Originally, I just wanted to avenge my granddaughter, but I didn't expect that you actually have such a powerful potential."
"If you hadn't met me, it wouldn't have been long before you became a hero. I believe you would have had a place in the whole of Diya. As you grew up, countless kind creatures would have become heroes because of you.
Ambition dies. Necromancer..."
"Today, I want to get rid of you as a threat for Eli."
Hearing the words of the court mage, Rhodes was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have thought of something. At this time, Rhodes obviously could not allow him to think too much, and a sense of crisis emerged from Rhodes' heart.
As the court mage finished speaking, the battle between the two officially began.
