"I feel the aura of those angels. They should have appeared in the city. Rhodes, do you need to go to the city first?"
Beside Rhodes, Asri woke up proactively.
Just like the orders issued by Rhodes using the Holy Word of Darkness, these lichs are always thinking about Rhodes, and they will take the initiative to ask even without Rhodes' reminder.
"No matter how griffins controlled by humans, they cannot stop our ghost dragons. The sky will be the best breakthrough point. Even if you leave first, they will not be able to defeat our undead army." Asri continued.
added.
"No." Rhodes rejected Asri's proposal, "In order to rescue Rowling, I need you to arrive at Standwick together."
As he said that, Rhodes seemed to have thought of something, and his expression immediately darkened.
"These humans can't stop us! Our Corpse Witch will teach them a lesson they will never forget!" Beside Rhodes, the red-clothed Lich said loudly.
Rhodes nodded: "Liches, bring your corpse witch to the front of the undead army."
The surrounding lichs followed suit one after another, and the formations of the undead creatures changed rapidly.
After the adjustment was completed, Rhodes directly used the Ghost King's Cloak to take over the control of these corpse witches.
Following Rhodes' signal, a large number of corpse witches fired a volley, and the darkest cloud of death swept towards the human legion like an unstoppable torrent.
The human priests, who had been prepared for a long time, raised a huge pure white barrier in an attempt to purify the incoming cloud of death. However, the number of corpse witches was too large, and the pure white barrier was continuously compressed, and finally cracked, revealing what was inside.
Human warrior.
Just when the cloud of death was about to touch their bodies, the human warriors' bodies flashed with light, and the sacred blessings originally attached to their bodies turned into pure white miniature barriers, protecting their bodies.
The cloud of death touched the pure white barrier and was completely blocked from the outside, unable to penetrate even half of the way in.
"This barrier..." Next to Rhodes, Asri noticed the abnormality first, "This is the barrier formed by the power of the artifact. Not long ago, those Erathians did not have such ability..."
"This is not a human ability." Rhodes said solemnly, he had already recognized the origin of this barrier, "This is the power of prayer."
The pure power of prayer turned into a holy barrier to protect these human warriors. Ordinary priests, no matter how pious they were, could not release such a spell.
Rhodes knew that the prayers that blessed these humans should come from the artifact in the hands of angels [Angel Alliance].
Recalling the part about the aurora in the revelation given by Messiga, Rhodes became vigilant. He wanted to avoid confrontation with those angels, but Rowling's existence forced him to face it all. p>
"It seems that the power of these corpse witches alone cannot defeat the warriors blessed with the power of prayer." Rhodes said in a deep voice.
In addition to releasing the cloud of death, ordinary corpse witches do not have melee capabilities and cannot compete with those warriors.
"What should we do now?" Stephen asked on the side, "The morale of those human warriors is at its peak, but I am not afraid of them. My terrifying knights can disintegrate their formation with just one charge." "It doesn't have to be like this."
Rhodes said in a deep voice: "Those angels who can pray for the warriors in front of them can pray for all the people of Standwick. With the blessing of the power of prayer, the Death Cloud cast by the Corpse Witch is no longer as powerful as the original one.
They have no effect, but their huge number has become a burden to us."
"The plan has changed. Those humans planned to use their elite soldiers to slow down our progress. Now, we are going to use these corpse witches to slow down their return to defense." Rhodes said in a deep voice.
Hearing what he said, the nearby lich immediately understood his intention. Among them, Asri took the initiative and said: "Do you want to use space magic to launch a surprise attack? I happen to have mastered the door to another dimension and can transport the remaining undead creatures.
”
"The Gate of Different Dimensions will consume a lot of mana. It's better to save some mana for the next battle." As he said this, Rhodes looked at Shante who was aside.
"Are you all ready?" Rhodes asked in a deep voice.
"According to your order, I have asked the vampire in human form to set up a space calibration in the outer city of Standwick, so that the door to time and space can be opened at any time."
"Excellent." Rhodes praised. After controlling these lichs, with their combined efforts, many things that were originally troublesome have become extremely convenient to deal with.
"Gather your elite undead creatures, and we will launch a surprise attack on Standwick." Rhode ordered.
And right in front of the battlefield, the darkest cloud of death has already deeply obscured all sight of the human legions.
Except for the pure white barrier in front of them that was still emitting light, the warriors in the field could no longer see anything around them, and darkness enveloped them deeply.
The pure white barrier can prevent human soldiers from being instantly killed by the cloud of death, but it cannot interfere with the cloud of death blocking the line of sight.
"Don't panic! This is just a cover-up trick by the necromancer. Be prepared to welcome their attack!" General Morgan said loudly.
In the darkness, he was the only support for these soldiers. Everyone was waiting for his orders to act. One after another, orders came from Morgan's mouth:
"The gryphon knights ascend into the sky to detect the movements of the undead army, while the priests stay on standby, ready to respond to enemy attacks at any time!"
Following his order, a large number of griffons rose into the sky, breaking through the cover of the cloud of death and overlooking the battlefield.
"No...we can't observe any movement. The inside of the Necromancer is shrouded in a large black mist. Even the ghost dragon in the sky has disappeared."
Above the battlefield, the griffin knight transmitted the message.
Morgan was stunned. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and ordered: "Gryphon Knight, fly to the rear of the Necromancer formation, break through the blockade of the Death Cloud, and detect the enemy's movements."
The extremely high morale bonus allowed the griffin knights to fully comply with Morgan's orders, even ignoring their own dangers. They controlled their griffons and rushed into the back of the necromancer's formation from the air.
Breaking through the obstruction of the Death Cloud, a dark portal appeared in front of the Griffin Knight.
"This is..."
Before they could scream, countless bats swarmed up, passed through the pure white barrier in front of them, biting their flesh and blood.
"I won't let you ruin Lord Rhodes' plan."
Shante, who stayed outside the portal, waiting for other creatures to pass through, said in a deep voice.
