As early as when the vampires just launched their attack, Rhodes received the message from the spiritual imprint, but Rhodes did not act rashly.
Since the battle initiated by the vampire has just begun, there may be remaining elves around the cabin. Rhodes needs to wait for a suitable time before walking out of the cabin and joining the battlefield.
After waiting for a while and confirming the situation on the battlefield through his mental imprint, Rhodes opened the door and walked towards the entrance of the village following the path he had recognized in advance.
Rhodes looked around and saw that there were no elves staying here to monitor him. Apparently, after several successive tests, the elves had dropped their guard against him.
What Rhodes didn't know was that his actions completely fell into the eyes of the elf mage hiding aside.
Even after repeated investigations to no avail, the elf mage was still unwilling to give up his thoughts and determined that Rhodes was closely related to Diya.
During the past two days, the elf mage tried to sense the mana fluctuations inside the wooden house where Rhodes was located. Since Rhodes suppressed the progress of his meditation, the elf mage did not sense any abnormalities. Even so, the Elf Mage never gave up his idea.
At this time, after learning about the vampire coming to attack the village, the elf mage recalled that the undead creatures that Rhodes fought before entering the village were vampires. Therefore, the elf mage did not choose to rush to the battlefield, but came to Rhodes. Outside the wooden house.
The elf mage's words to the other elves was to notify Rhodes inside the village to fight, but the real situation is that the elf mage did not notify Rhodes in the wooden house at all, but kept hiding in the dark to observe.
The elf mage knew that if Rhodes really had a problem, he would rush to the battlefield as soon as the vampire attacked without her having to notify him.
Sure enough, the Elf Mage didn't wait long before he saw the door of the wooden house open and Rhodes walking out from inside.
In the eyes of the Elf Mage, Rhodes looked around, and then walked towards the entrance of the village, apparently not noticing him.
In terms of reconnaissance techniques, the elves have considerable talent. Even an elf mage also has higher-level reconnaissance techniques. Rhodes' intermediate reconnaissance techniques are no longer enough to face the current situation.
Seeing Rhodes walking towards the battlefield, the Elf Mage clearly understood what he was thinking.
In the past two days, the elf mage had not seen any movement from Rhodes. At this time, the battle had just begun, but they found that Rhodes immediately walked towards the direction of the battlefield, which obviously showed that there was something wrong with the swordsman.
The elf mage didn't know why the swordsman chose to sneak into the village. Although he had not sensed the mana in the swordsman's body before, he obviously had bad intentions when he sneaked into the village.
Thinking of this, the Elf Mage felt worried. Since only the elf mage discovered this, the other creatures in the village did not notice it at all. Once Rhodes came to the battlefield, according to the sword skills he had shown before, this unexpected attack would cause huge casualties to the elves. .
Since the elf mage is located behind Rhodes, even if he wants to cross Rhodes and go to the village gate to report first, he will definitely be discovered.
The elf mage thought about it in his mind. In the dark, and Rhodes didn't notice the situation at all, if she chooses to sneak attack, there is a high chance that she can succeed and directly injure Rhodes.
However, perhaps because of her nature as an elf, she hesitated to take action, especially in this situation where there was no substantive evidence and she relied entirely on her own inferences.
The elf mage realized that once he did this, if the facts were contrary to his inference, then he would be no different from the necromancer who killed innocent people indiscriminately.
In the end, her kind nature made the elf mage give up her plan to launch a sneak attack from the dark. However, she also did not let Rhodes move forward. Instead, she walked out directly from behind and said to Rhodes:
"Rod, what are you doing here?"
Relying on his own memory, the elf mage accurately called out the name Rhodes said when he entered the village.
In the sight of the elf mage, Rhodes' figure was obviously shaken, obviously he did not expect that there would be elves here.
Rhodes quickly turned around and looked at the elf behind him.
At this time, Rhodes was still dressed in the same clothes, wearing Eli-style clothes.
Rhodes didn't know how long the Elf Mage had been following him, but he was still observing him outside the wooden house. Rhodes realized that there might be only one chance to cooperate with the vampires to attack the village. At this time, no matter what he said, there would be many flaws.
Between Rhodes and the Elf Mage, whoever strikes first will have a greater advantage. Rhodes didn't know how the Elf Mage discovered him, but he would definitely not give the enemy a chance.
Rhodes did not answer the Elf Mage's words, but quickly scanned the surroundings, confirmed that there were no other elves around, and then rushed forward and tried to attack the Elf Mage in front of him.
For Rhodes, using any means in battle is not too much, but the Elf Mage obviously does not have this idea. He was about to question Rhodes when he suddenly saw Rhodes' actions.
In a hurry, the elf mage raised his hand and a fireball shot out.
Since the Elf Mage didn't have much time to adjust the trajectory of the magic, Rhodes easily dodged it.
The fireball exploded behind Rhodes, but Rhodes had already arrived in front of the elf mage.
Taking advantage of the power generated by the charge, Rhodes stabbed out with his sword. The elf mage raised his hand and fired two magic arrows, interrupting Rhodes' charge.
At this time, the Elf Mage fully understood Rhode's position.
Seeing Rhodes coming to him, ready to fight him, the elf mage did not panic. Instead, he quickly took out a dagger from his pocket and prepared to fight Rhodes.
Rhodes slashed with his sword, but the elf mage nimbly dodged it and shot back a magic arrow from Rhodes.
Rhodes' attack was too fast and he failed to dodge in time. The magic arrow passed by Rhodes' shoulder. Although it did not hit Rhodes' body directly, it also made Rhodes' shoulder bleed profusely.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Elf Mage quickly drew the dagger in front of Rhodes, and Rhodes retreated directly to avoid the Elf Mage's attack.
The Elf Mage did not pursue Rhodes, but assumed a defensive posture.
Looking at the elf mage in front of him, Rhodes knew that the elf mage was obviously stronger than his previous opponent. If he had been attacked by her without being discovered before, the outcome of the battle was really hard to say.
