Seeing his subordinates being attacked by undead creatures, the knight immediately targeted Rhodes.
The knight noticed that even when he watched his men being attacked, Rhodes's expression remained unchanged, as if the death was not something worthy of his concern.
The knight had already guessed Rhodes' identity as a necromancer, but he did not dare to step forward and attack.
In the knight's ears, there were rapid screams. These screams were made by his men before they died. However, even though he felt all this deeply, when looking at Rhodes in front of him, the knight still did not
The courage to step forward and attack.
Recalling this real mission, the knight already roughly understood why this necromancer appeared here and attacked his men.
Looking at the posture shown by Rhodes and recalling the rumors about the necromancers in Brakada, the knight did not dare to directly launch a surprise attack on Rhodes, and could only deal with the surrounding undead creatures first.
The knight made a gesture towards the rear. Immediately, the archers with crossbows in the team noticed this and immediately followed the knight's command and fired the crossbow arrows at Rhodes' position.
Just when the crossbow arrows were about to hit Rhodes, a dark green barrier appeared in front of Rhodes, blocking all the crossbow arrows.
The crossbow arrow hit the barrier, and with an explosion, some small cracks were made on the barrier, and then it could only fall to the ground.
The powerful shield that Rhodes displayed simultaneously blocked all the crossbow arrows aimed at himself and Rowling.
Crossbows are widely used in Erathia, but in other areas, except for large thieves guilds and some special business groups, there are rarely well-made crossbows.
Rhodes noticed that these archers were holding this kind of military crossbow. Only the arrows fired by the strong crossbow could break some cracks in the Herculean Aegis.
As a third-level magic, the Hercules Aegis can not only restrict many large enemies, but can also be used as a barrier to resist attacks. If it is an ordinary crossbow arrow, it will not cause any damage to the Hercules Aegis.
After noticing the powerful shield displayed by Rhodes, and since he had seen this spell many times on the battlefield before and deeply understood the characteristics of this spell, the knight also gave up his plan to attack Rhodes and started to help instead.
My subordinates, deal with the undead creatures around.
This approach of the Cavaliers is also in line with Rhodes' expectations.
When fighting a necromancer, especially a high-level necromancer, if there is no way to rush to his side and kill him in time, he can only find a chance to win by destroying the surrounding undead creatures.
In addition to being able to control undead creatures, necromancers themselves also master a variety of powerful spells. Even if they destroy all the undead creatures around them, they still have to fight a necromancer of unknown strength.
For these warriors, a high-level necromancer is even more threatening than an ordinary orthodox mage.
In Brakada, if a powerful necromancer appears, you only need to report the whereabouts of the necromancer to the supervisor of the magic guild, and the magic guild will dispatch specialized manpower to deal with the necromancer.
However, in this case, the knight did not have much choice. Since he did not expect the appearance of the necromancer in advance, the enemy he expected was only the village chief here. The battle that he thought could be solved easily turned out to be
It evolved into what it is now.
Feeling the power of this necromancer, a bad feeling flashed through the knight's heart. If he retreated now, it might not be too late.
However, after losing these manpower, nothing has been figured out. If we just retreat like this, we will inevitably be punished.
Thinking of this, the knight gave up his plan to retreat, and instead focused on helping his men clean up the undead creatures that appeared around them.
When the knight helped his men kill the undead creatures, in order to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, Rhodes did not wait and directly raised his hand, releasing an extremely dense cloud of death.
The cloud of death spread across the battlefield in an instant. For a moment, the flesh and blood of the creatures in the field quickly dissipated, and a large number of skeletons appeared on the ground.
But then, these skeletons stood up again, still holding the weapons in their hands, and began to attack creatures that were not affected by the cloud of death.
There are several mages in the army, but their ranks are not high. At this time, these mages jointly cast spells to try to disperse the cloud of death, but to no avail.
In this army, in addition to soldiers capable of fighting, there are also many ordinary creatures. Most of them are half-orc slaves tied with iron chains. In addition, there are also many human slaves. If Rhodes did not exist, after this army took over the mining village, these slaves would play their role and perform labor in the mines.
Originally, according to Rhode's idea, he would not kill the orc slaves among them, but under the influence of the Death Cloud, these slaves were the first to die in the chaos.
After being transformed by the Mother of Dead Souls, these slaves stood up again and attacked the surrounding creatures in a more powerful posture.
After finally discovering this, an invincible thought flashed through the knight's mind regarding the appearance of the necromancer.
Even if the knight himself is extremely powerful and can quickly kill the surrounding undead creatures, when his men die one after another, the surrounding undead creatures gather more and more, and the knight alone is unable to save the day.
Looking at his subordinates who had begun to flee around him, the knight finally realized that he could no longer change everything.
During the battle, the necromancer behind him didn't even cast any spells, but relied on the advantage of surprise attacks and transformation of undead creatures to completely defeat him.
At this time, the knight did not bother too much. Even though he was surrounded by undead creatures, he did not feel any fear. Instead, he rode his horse and rushed towards the rear.
Sitting on the horse, the knight waved the weapons in his hands one after another, and the surrounding undead creatures fell one by one. From the group of undead creatures, the knight forced his way out and wanted to leave quickly.
At this moment, the horse that had been running wildly seemed to have stepped on something. One of the horse's legs was directly entangled in a vine and could not move.
Due to the inertia of the entire body and the previous high-speed charge, the horse fell directly forward to the right, and at the same time, the knight on it fell to the ground.
