Looking around the messy underground battlefield, Rhodes frowned and asked.
"Yes, Master." Farese answered Rhodes' question, "Those mercenaries, or angels, seeing that there was no hope of rescuing the hostages, killed them first."
Rhodes stroked his forehead. Even though the situation was unfavorable to him, he still wanted to praise the enemy's methods.
Kill those hostages, so that you lose the bargaining chip to threaten Jenny, and at the same time blame everything on yourself, further tie Jenny to Brakada's side, and take this opportunity to provoke Jenny to attack the Necromancer.
Hatred, this is undoubtedly the perfect strategy.
Rhodes should have thought of this, but he was focused on assassinating Eli and underestimated the enemy's determination. Rhodes dared to use the hostages as bait to attract the enemy's main force to come to the rescue, thereby creating an opportunity to assassinate Eli.
Based on the premise that the enemies would not harm the hostages, I did not expect that the mercenaries did not follow the routine at all.
"They are not reborn in the realm of death." Rhodes said solemnly, picking up the blade he used from the corpse of a mercenary. The surface of the blade was cold and gleaming. If you look carefully, you can see the faint light flowing.
It is a kind of holy light that is not restricted by the ability to ban magic. "The power of the Holy Judgment... It seems that the Erathians have found a way to deal with the undead army."
Not only the hostages killed by the mercenaries, but also the dead mercenaries were not resurrected in the Death Realm. This was a new discovery. The Erathians seemed to have found a way to resist the Death Realm. The specific reason was unknown to Rhodes.
Learned.
"After discovering that they had killed the hostages, I immediately ordered that the human mercenaries be captured alive, thinking that doing so might help the master." Farese reported.
Rhodes shook his head. After learning that all the hostages were dead, the furious Jenny would not listen to the words of the captured mercenary. Even if the mercenary told everything, she would only think that it was Rhodes' trick, and all the consequences would still be there.
Will be borne by Rhodes.
In the previous battle, Rhodes felt the restraint of the medical field on undead creatures. Different from the magic field, the damage effect of the medical field only targets undead creatures, but it can bring extremely strong recovery ability to normal creatures. If it is rare,
Ni sticks to the Magic City, Rhode's plan may have to be postponed.
Rhodes sighed deeply: "Isn't there a hostage who is still alive?"
"After counting the undead, all the hostages in the Forbidden Demon Realm died, and no one was spared." Farese shook his head.
Rhodes was very helpless. In order to prevent the hostages from escaping, he had to lock them all within the range of the Forbidden Magic Ball. Once out of the range of the Forbidden Magic Ball, the hostages could cast spells to escape by themselves. Using all the hostages as bait was also Rhode's helplessness.
move.
Although Rhodes hid some hostages deeper underground, those people were also found by the mercenaries who came to perform the mission. The mercenaries were unable to rescue them and ultimately had no choice but to kill them.
Things seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Rhodes could only bear the blame for killing the hostages and faced the furious hero Jenny. While Rhodes was plotting against the mages, he himself was also plotted against by those mages.
Rhodes never thought about killing those hostages. Killing them would only gain negligible experience points and add a few ordinary undead creatures. But if they were kept alive, Rhodes could use this to threaten Jenny and achieve greater goals.
However, his plot was destroyed by the enemy.
On the side, after hearing Rhodes' words, Agland, who had just come down from the battlefield, seemed to have thought of something. He didn't bother to wipe the blood off his body, and immediately reported to Rhodes: "Master, it seems that one of the hostages survived.
, she was not imprisoned in the Forbidden Demon Realm, but was imprisoned in other places."
"What?" Rhodes' eyes lit up, "Take me to see the hostage."
Aglan immediately took the order and led Rhodes through space to the top of the Chanzel Snow Mountain in the far west of Brakada. After crossing the continuous snow mountains, he arrived at Krulod where the barbarians lived.
There is a cave inside the cold snow-capped mountains. The mountain belly has been carved into a warm magical plain, and the top of the snow-capped mountains is a large area of ruins. A group of giant dragons once lived here, but now they have left their nests empty, and only the undead ghosts can be seen haunting this place. Rhodes has been here before, and it was here that he and Inota got to know each other, but what makes Rhodes confused is why Aglan brought him here?
"Are there any hostages here? Why are the hostages being held here?" Rhodes asked in confusion.
"Master, have you forgotten?" Aglan reminded him indirectly, "You said you didn't want to see that crying elf. As your loyal servant, of course I must ensure that she will not appear in front of you.
There happened to be an abandoned prison here, so I brought her here and locked her up."
Rhodes scratched his head, as if this was indeed the case, and then frowned and said: "This place is not within the effective range of the Forbidden Demon Realm at all, and the prisons here are prepared for giant creatures and cannot contain human-sized creatures at all. What do you think?
The hostage is here, I'm afraid she has escaped long ago."
"She didn't dare to do that." Aglan replied, "I told her that if she dared to escape or cast any spells randomly, I would kill ten apprentices. Even if there is no forbidden magic field and no iron prison
Door, the cell in her heart will also imprison her here."
"Well, you did pretty well." Rhodes commented.
"Thank you, Master. I learned from you." Aglan replied modestly.
Soon, Rhodes saw the silver-haired elf in the ice prison built by the Holy Dragon.
The holy dragon who once lived here used his ice dragon breath to build this ice prison. The ice prison was filled with biting cold air. Even in Rhode's current body, he felt a faint chill.
Agran, who was accustomed to the high temperature of hell, even put his hands in front of him and kept rubbing his arms. If Rhodes hadn't been by his side, he would have been unable to help but ignite flames all over his body to fight against the coldness that penetrated his bones. In the prison, the silver-haired elf was lying on the icy ground, her body curled up into a ball, her hands wrapped around her knees to preserve the little warmth. Her face was pale, and even her lips had no trace.
The blood was red, and there were some ice stains hanging on the cheeks. The whole person seemed to be asleep, and there was no breath at all.
"Master, she..." Aglan looked surprised.
"She's still alive." After feeling it for a while, Rhodes immediately felt relieved, which also saved him a lot of trouble.
After confirming the remaining hostage, Agran immediately withdrew, while Rhodes looked at the unconscious elf and fell into deep thought.
