Rhodes drove the centaur undead and ran all the way according to the general direction he had originally written down.
Rhodes, who was riding on the centaur, didn't know what was happening behind him, but when the elf adjutant used the pendant on his body, Rhodes felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by something.
At this time, the centaur was in the forest, surrounded by dense bushes. This environment affected the centaur under Rhodes to a certain extent. Since it was traveling through the dense forest, the centaur undead could not increase its speed.
From behind, a bat flew quickly. After slowing down to the same speed as the centaur, the bat accurately landed on Rhodes' shoulder.
Since the centaur could never increase its speed, even the vampire who finally evacuated the village had already rushed to Rhodes' side.
Rhodes realized that it was impossible for the court mage to let him go so easily after seeing the corpses of a large number of dwarves and elves in the village. This feeling of being targeted is probably due to some method used by the court mage to determine his position at this time.
Although he was aware of this, Rhodes had no good way to deal with it for a while. He could only let the centaur undead under him increase his speed to the extreme.
Rhodes knew that with his current strength, he was still no match for the Palace Mage.
At this time, Rhodes opened the attribute panel and found that his experience value had reached 5640 points.
While checking the properties panel, Rhodes checked the system log.
Among the experience points he currently has, only about 3,000 were obtained by himself in the process of destroying the dwarf village. More than 1,000 experience points were obtained through the centaur leader, and the rest were leftover from the last upgrade.
At this time, Rhodes immediately upgraded his character level.
"4000 experience points were consumed, and the remaining experience points were 1640. The professional level was upgraded to level 3, Spirit Summoning Swordsman level 5..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
"There's still one level left..." Rhodes realized this.
All it takes is one more level to elevate Spiritualism to its strongest state. Rhodes knew that even if he did nothing and simply waited for a few days, he could gain enough experience points through the Centaur leader's campaign.
Due to the possible pursuit of soldiers behind him, after upgrading his character level, Rhodes quickly ran towards the place where he originally received the mission. If the court mage is really chasing after him, he will have a chance of survival only by escaping in that direction.
Rhodes knew that high-level necromancers might be stationed there, waiting for the war to expand further, at locations similar to the previous missions. And my status as an academy allows me to get the protection of high-level necromancers.
In terms of internal relations, the Necromancer can be extremely cruel to his subordinates. Even if he kills apprentices on the battlefield at will, he will not be punished.
Once other forces intervene, the relationship between the necromancers will immediately change. Even if the high-level mage in Eli wants to come to the place where he takes the task and take away any apprentice by force, he will be met by the other necromancers. unanimous resistance.
Rhodes knew that because of his status as an academy, even if a court mage came to the camp to receive the mission, he would be blocked by the high-level mage stationed here. This is the biggest advantage that his status in the academy can bring. convenient.
The status of the academy allows Rhodes to avoid being killed by Eli's powerful creatures in the camp where the academy is located. However, the academy completely ignores and even encourages the fight between the necromancers.
Sensing the sense of peeping from behind, Rhodes turned around and glanced in the direction where the feeling came from, but could only see darkness. But the feeling of being stared at clearly told Rhodes that the enemy was chasing him.
As Rhodes moved forward, this perception became closer and closer. Rhodes could even hear the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him. If it weren't for the dark surroundings, Rhodes would have been able to see the enemy.
Rhodes confirmed that the enemy had locked his position through unknown means and was chasing him.
Since there was still some distance from the camp where the academy issued the mission, Rhodes could not rely on speed alone to get rid of the enemies behind him. In order to get rid of the enemies behind him, Rhodes took out a treasure from the space ring, which was the previously used Dark Aegis.
Black clouds gathered above Rhodes' head and began to slowly spread to the surroundings. As the black cloud just appeared, the centaur driven by Rhodes galloped out of the range of the black cloud.
At night, using dark shelter can obviously achieve greater results. Therefore, without knowing what method the palace mage uses to lock himself, Rhodes can only use this method to try to get rid of the team behind him.
It would take some time for the dark shelter to fully take effect. Therefore, Rhodes did not rush directly towards the camp. Instead, he was on the edge of the black cloud and moved sideways as the black cloud spread.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves coming from behind also moved in the direction of Rhodes. Realizing this, Rhodes did not panic at all, but still maintained his movement direction, waiting for the black cloud to spread.
The pursuers at the rear obviously also noticed the abnormality, but their speed did not slow down at all. Instead, they made the horses under them sprint towards Rhodes at full speed.
Because Rhodes was surrounded by black clouds and accelerated by the pursuers, he could already see Rhodes in front of him.
After noticing that the undead creatures under Rhodes were the centaurs in Eli, the elves chasing after them were obviously furious. For a time, their hatred for the necromancers made the morale of these elves extremely strong.
With the only remaining light around him, Rhodes also saw these pursuing Eli creatures. Rhodes noticed that among these creatures, the leader of the elf was not dressed as a mage.
At this time, several arrows shot at Rhodes rapidly, and Rhodes immediately took out the iron shield from the space ring to block it.
Because he was in the middle of a rapid attack, the arrow hit Rhodes' shield and then fell to the ground, failing to cause any harm to Rhodes.
Even so, the elves chasing behind did not stop this move. It seemed that only in this way could the anger in the hearts of these elves be vented.
Even if this did not achieve much success, the Elf Lieutenant still did not stop the elves under his command, but allowed them to fire arrows on their own to attack the necromancer in front.
The result of this was that Rhodes brought these elves around him around the black cloud. Due to the movement of the elf's hand, the speed of pursuit was affected, and he was unable to catch up with Rhodes.
Not long after, these elves discovered that although there were still a lot of arrows in the quivers behind them, it was difficult to see clearly the figure of the Necromancer in front of them.
