Under the influence of the black clouds, the earth seemed to be cast in a shadow, the original light disappeared, leaving only darkness.
Upon discovering this situation, the surrounding elves did not panic at all. They just closed their formation and continued to chase Rhodes in front.
While being chased by the elves from behind, Rhodes noticed something unusual. Since the distance between the two parties is not far away, according to the casting range of the palace mage, it should be easy to affect him. However, during this chase, Rhodes was not affected by the magic.
Rhodes knew that the court mage was probably not chasing him. Recalling that the court mage had even directly exposed his aura in order to protect the seriously injured Ivor, Rhodes had already guessed why the court mage did not choose to track him.
According to Rhodes' understanding of healing spells, except for the simplest healing spells, other high-level healing spells require the guidance of a mage to achieve the maximum effect of the spell.
At this time, Rhodes realized that in this mission, he had left a huge hidden danger, which was the hero Ivor.
Under the influence of the court mage's spell, Ivor was likely to be successfully cured. Thinking of Ivor's previous resentment towards him and his abilities after becoming a hero, Rhodes knew that he might have left behind a powerful enemy.
The power of heroes is more reflected in their growth, and even if he has just become a hero, Ivor already has the ability to kill himself at close range. When he reaches a higher level, he may become a formidable enemy.
Whether it was during the game in his previous life or now, Rhodes has seen a lot of heroes, but it was his first time to see a hero awakening in front of him, and it could be said that he was the one who caused it.
Rhodes felt a headache when he thought that Ivor, who had become a hero, would fight to the death with him, and that many future plans might be hindered by Ivor's existence.
At this time, even though he knew that the court mage was probably not among the chasing team, Rhodes still had no intention of fighting back.
Rhodes did not feel any threat from the team behind him, but because of this, Rhodes was more careful. There was no sense of danger, not because he was powerful, but because the sense brought about by his reconnaissance skills was suppressed by the elves in the rear team.
During this process, black clouds had filled the surrounding area, making it difficult for sight to have any effect. Even so, the elves tracking from behind still followed Rhodes accurately.
In order to cope with the darkness in front of them, the elves behind made simple torches. Even so, due to the distance, the firelight still couldn't reach Rhodes' position.
Through the news from the vampire, Rhodes learned that every time he changed direction, one of the elves behind him would be the first to adjust to his movements and lead the rest of the elves to track him. .
Perhaps in order to guide the surrounding elves more clearly, this elf was the only one in the rear group holding a torch.
After learning about this situation, Rhodes knew that there was probably only one elf in the team who had the means to track him. If he wanted to escape safely, he would have to find a way to deal with this elf.
Realizing this, Rhodes immediately made a decision.
Rhodes did not slow down his movements, but controlled his centaur and began to quickly change his position.
In this formation, the sound of horse hooves was heard continuously. It was obviously extremely difficult for the elves to hear the sound of horse hooves made by the centaurs in front of them in such a chaotic situation.
Since they lost their vision and wanted to track Rhodes, the other elves could only keep an eye on the Elf Lieutenant's movements.
Therefore, under Rhode's successive turns, except for the elf adjutant who could catch up with Rhodes immediately, the other elves could only follow behind the elf adjutant.
After several times in succession, the Elf Lieutenant had put a long distance away from the ordinary Elf.
Under normal circumstances, the elf adjutant would adjust his position to let the surrounding elves keep up with him, but at this time, the necromancer who destroyed a village was right in front. The elf adjutant did not intend to slow down the horse, but planned to immediately After catching up, kill him with your own hands.
Because the formation spread out, the horse under the Elf Lieutenant could catch up with Rhodes more easily.
After continuing to run wildly into the darkness for a while, the elf adjutant was almost able to get close to Rhodes' rear.
At this time, the elf adjutant held a torch in one hand and an iron sword in the other. Just waiting for Rhodes to reach the attack range, he immediately stabbed Rhodes with his sword.
At this moment, Rhodes launched the attack first.
As the centaur slowed down, the bat on Rhode's shoulder immediately jumped out toward the rear, revealing its sharp fangs at the elf lieutenant in front of him.
The elf adjutant immediately sensed the threat from the front and thrust his sword at the bat, but missed. At this moment, the bats turned into a black room, and small but numerous bats jumped out from the black mist.
In this regard, the elf adjutant did not feel any fear. Instead, he waved the weapon in his hand tightly and killed all the bats that rushed towards him.
Because he was moving at high speed, the elf adjutant sitting on the horse left the surrounding bats behind and got closer to Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes also held the iron sword in his hand. Since Rhodes took the initiative to slow down the centaur, the elf adjutant came to the rear of Rhodes and stabbed Rhodes with his sword.
An iron shield appeared in Rhode's hand. The shield was wide and blocked the elf adjutant's stab. Because he was sitting on a horse and running wildly, it was difficult for the elf adjutant to use his strength.
Rhodes asked the centaur to turn slightly sideways. Suddenly, the elf adjutant came to the level of Rhodes. The two were riding horses and running in the same direction.
The torch in the elf adjutant's hand had already been thrown aside. In a dark environment, the two started fighting on horseback.
In the darkness, the sounds of weapons colliding could be heard one after another.
Because the shield held by Rhodes was facing the direction of the Elf Lieutenant. Relying on this shield, Rhodes was able to block the attack of the Elf Lieutenant very well.
Continuous attacks were blocked by the shield in front of him. Coupled with his hatred for the necromancer, the elf adjutant began to feel impatient and the movements of his hands became louder.
Just as the elf adjutant swung out his sword, but was blocked by the shield, the elf adjutant discovered that a force came from his hand, and the hand he was swinging the sword was tightly grasped by the other arm.
The elf adjutant realized the problem instantly, but by now it was too late. While the centaur in front of him grabbed the elf adjutant, Rhodes swung his sword and killed the elf adjutant off his horse.
