In the center of the human legion, legion leader Morgan Kendall is closely watching all Rhodes' actions.
Looking at the thin figure under Rhodes' feet from a distance, his weather-beaten face showed emotion at this moment.
Next to him, the adjutant holding a long-tube speculum seemed to have discovered something, and said in surprise:
"It's really Lord Mark! General, we all thought he died in Verning's territory, but we didn't expect that he is still alive. It seems that he suffered a lot at the hands of the necromancer..."
"Tell the Necromancer that I will send an envoy to check and confirm Mark's situation before making a decision." Morgan ordered.
Soon, a powerful priest stepped forward and raised Morgan's request, and his voice echoed through the entire team of necromancers.
"Humph, I don't have time to stay here with you."
Morgan's request immediately aroused Rhode's dissatisfaction, and he let out a cold snort.
With a flash of sword light, one of the thin man's arms was cut off at the root at Rhodes' feet.
The thin man opened his mouth wide and let out a cry-like cry. Rhodes stepped on the back of his head, pressed his head deeply to the ground, and at the same time used magic to stop his injuries.
"This time it's an arm. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer right away, it won't be so simple next time."
Facing the threat from Rhodes, even the adjutant beside Morgan could not maintain his usual composure, and his body could not stop trembling.
"General!" the adjutant leaned over and said, with a hint of sincerity in his words, "We cannot let the Necromancer continue like this! Please give us an order. No matter what, we will obey your command and action."
"Adjutant Walha, are you timid because of the actions of the Necromancer? If so, then his purpose has been achieved."
Seeing that Mark was injured, Morgan acted very calmly and answered calmly.
The adjutant was stunned. He looked around and saw that the morale of the nearby soldiers was low, and the holy light attached to them was also dimmed. The actions of the necromancer deeply affected the morale of the soldiers.
Before he could say anything more, Morgan's voice sounded throughout the entire human army:
"Everyone of the Knights, you have seen the current situation. The evil necromancer plans to threaten me with the life of my son, Mark Kendall, and let me let their army invade our capital, the sacred city.
Standwick."
His voice was loud and loud. Although he did not use magic, it still resounded throughout the entire legion. Even the soldiers standing at the farthest distance could hear his words clearly.
The nearby soldiers had already seen Rhode's actions in their eyes. At this time, they were infected by Morgan's words and showed sad eyes.
"As a father, I can't bear to see my son tortured, but as an Erathian and the commander of the army, honor and loyalty have long been integrated into my blood and into my marrow."
As he spoke, Morgan raised his hand and pointed at Rhodes in the distance. To be precise, it was Mark at Rhodes' feet.
"For our kingdom! For the people we protect! For the queen! We will fight until the last moment, until the last drop of hot blood is shed in our bodies, and we will not make any compromises with the enemies who invade us! Marksman..." p>
Morgan's tone was so passionate that all the nearby soldiers felt a certain emotion filling their chests and couldn't help but clenched the weapons in their hands.
Following Morgan's order, the marksmen cocked their crossbows one after another. Only the adjutant Walha next to Morgan noticed that Morgan's hand pointing at the enemy was trembling slightly.
"...shoot him."
The rain of arrows shot towards the sky, falling towards the enemy in the distance with a momentum that would never return.
Due to the long distance, Morgan's words failed to reach Rhodes' ears.
Rhodes didn't hear what Morgan said, but he saw the arrow rain in the sky clearly.
The magic eye stared at the rain of arrows. Under the influence of omnipotent vision, Rhodes could see the feathers behind each crossbow arrow and their trajectory.
What made Rhodes a little confused was that an attack of this level could not harm the nearby undead creatures, let alone himself. He then swung his sword to block the crossbow arrows fired at him.
Underfoot, a burst of death energy overflowed, which was a sign of biological death.
Rhodes was startled, and he realized that the target of this rain of arrows was not him at all, but Mark at his feet.
At the same time, there are also new messages coming in the system log.
…………
"The enemy general used [Epic Leadership]'s accompanying skill [Pre-battle Mobilization] to boost the morale of his men."
"[Pre-war mobilization] was judged successful, with a completion rate of 152%."
"During the battle, all attributes of enemy creatures will increase by 52%, all special skills below the epic level will increase by an additional level, morale will be 5, and they will not flee due to any situation."
…………
Looking at the information in the system log, Rhodes' expression changed.
After dealing with mages and elves for a long time, Rhodes forgot the fighting method that Erathians are best at.
The leader of Erathia's legion is the creature that is best at using leadership skills. With the blessing of leadership skills, Erathia's warriors will show strength far beyond their original rank.
The leadership skills used by incompetent legion leaders will only cause morale to collapse faster, but in the hands of generals with firm will and noble character, leadership skills will show shocking power and defeat powerful enemies that were originally invincible.<
/p>
Just like [Dark Holy Word] is an incidental skill of spiritualism, [Pre-war Mobilization] is also one of the incidental skills of leadership.
If you want to release the [Pre-War Mobilization] state, you only need to kill the owner of the leadership skill, that is, Morgan himself, but Rhodes cannot do this.
Rhodes knew that in leadership skills, in addition to [Pre-battle mobilization], there is also a more powerful side skill [Heroic Sacrifice].
This is a passive skill that will be automatically triggered when the commander dies. It is judged based on the current morale of the legion and brings an extremely powerful benefit effect to the creatures that are still alive.
Once [Heroic Sacrifice] is triggered, according to the current morale of the human legions, Rhodes may be held back by these humans for a long time.
For this reason, Rhodes could not attack Morgan directly and could only think of other ways.
Rhodes originally planned to use Mark as a hostage to threaten Morgan, and even if it didn't work, it would damage the morale of the human warriors. Unexpectedly, he was instead used by Morgan to complete a pre-war mobilization.
Kicking Mark's crossbow-laden body to the side, Rhodes sighed: "It seems he won't let us pass easily and prepare for battle."
