In the Necromancer camp, Rhodes has completed the task distribution and is sitting in the tent waiting.
In the past two days, Rhodes' sense of crisis has become stronger and stronger. If he hadn't been assigned the position of Black Crow Messenger, Rhodes would have left this camp long ago and would not have stayed here for a long time.
Although Rhodes has not noticed anything unusual so far, this feeling in his heart is undoubtedly reminding Rhodes that this place is not safe.
If there is any good news, it is that the experience value in the system, which was originally growing slowly, has begun to increase again, and the speed of improvement is much faster than the previous few days.
Rhodes knew that it was likely that the centaur leader had already fought against the necromancer he sent.
At this time, Rhodes, who was observing the experience points, suddenly heard loud noises coming from outside the camp, and even the ground beneath his feet trembled. In addition, Rhodes' heart palpitations became more and more intense.
Rhodes quickly left the camp, wanting to know what was happening around the camp.
Rhodes saw multiple Deadwood Guards appearing not far from the camp. Many Eli creatures are attacking with the Deadwood Guards.
In Rhode's view, these deadwood guards were still some distance away from the camp, and it would take a certain amount of time to get around the camp.
The Deadwood Guard is huge and moves slowly, but this slowness is relative to the walking pace. For Deadwood Guards, who are generally about five or six meters in size, even if they walk slowly, each step takes a huge amount, and the overall speed is about the same as the speed of the surrounding creatures moving at full speed.
At this time, the badge on Rhodes' body conveyed to Rhodes the mission of defending the camp.
After receiving the news, Rhodes quickly looked at the surrounding necromancers and found that they were also confirming each other. Rhodes realized that all the necromancers currently in the camp had received this mission.
Judging from the information about the tasks released in the past few days, Rhodes compared them and found that compared to the original tasks, the rewards of this task were much richer than before.
It only took a few minutes from the time Rhodes saw the Deadwood Guards appear until the Deadwood Guards arrived in front of the camp and swept away the undead creatures on the outermost edge.
Except for the necromancer stationed here, there were no defensive facilities inside the entire camp. Therefore, for a while, the movement of the dead wood guards was completely unstoppable. They broke into the camp directly and began to kill a large number of surrounding undead creatures.
Rhodes noticed that due to the attack of the Deadwood Guards, all the necromancers inside the camp had dispersed and were ready for battle. Taking this opportunity, Rhodes began to observe the strength of these necromancers.
Under this situation, even the necromancers who have the strength to stop these deadwood guards will be unwilling to fight the deadwood warriors because they do not want to bear the losses of the undead creatures.
The Deadwood Guards killed undead creatures one after another, and even ordinary necromancers could not escape the attacks of the Deadwood Guards. With the rest of the Eli creatures blocked by undead creatures, this group of dead wood guards alone disrupted the defense inside the camp.
At this time, many resentful souls appeared in Rhode's sight, fighting with the Deadwood Guards. At the same time, clusters of glowing death clouds shot rapidly towards the deadwood guards.
The cloud of death hit the dead wood guard and made a sizzling sound instantly. The deadwood guard waved his arms vigorously to disperse the surrounding death cloud.
When the death cloud that enveloped the body of the deadwood guard dissipated, most of the deadwood guard's body was completely corroded, and it seemed that it could be cut off with just a few attacks.
The basic attributes of the Deadwood Guard are extremely powerful. If you look at the basic attributes alone, they are even several times that of warriors of the same level. But the Deadwood Guard also has its own weakness, that is, it has little resistance to various spells. Additionally, Deadwood Guards are unable to think complexly and can only follow simple orders.
Seeing these death clouds, Rhodes knew that this was the action of the senior mage who was managing the camp from behind.
At this time, all these death clouds appeared in front of these dead wood guards. The cloud of death covers a wide area, and all the deadwood guards are affected by the cloud of death. When the cloud of death dissipates, they then face the attack of the resentful spirits.
The resentful soul already has the ability to fly, but even in this case, the resentful soul cannot kill the deadwood guard. Facing the attack of the Witherwood Guards, the resentful soul could only dodge.
The withered wood guards have extremely low intelligence. After being attracted by the resentful soul, they continued to attack the resentful soul. They did not know how to ignore the resentful soul and attack the surrounding undead creatures.
Rhodes realized that the senior necromancers at the rear also saw the enemy's problem and did not intend to waste more mana on these dead wood guards.
In terms of number, the resentful souls did not exceed the Deadwood Guards by much, but on the contrary, their strength was much lower.
For senior necromancers, resentful souls are not so easy to obtain. A wronged soul corresponds to an official necromancer who died in pain. Even a senior necromancer who manages the camp will not find any reason to do so. Now, there is no way to attack the remaining necromancers in the camp, and they can only focus on the necromancers from other colleges.
This is why, after seeing Rhodes killing the original Black Crow Messenger, instead of punishing Rhodes, the senior necromancer promoted Rhodes to the new Black Crow Messenger, which was actually encouraging this behavior in disguise.
At this time, the other necromancers on the battlefield had no intention of attacking these dead wood guards. Even the official necromancers only focused on killing the surrounding Eli creatures.
Therefore, the task of dealing with the Deadwood Guards fell entirely on the senior necromancer who was in charge of the camp.
Rhodes noticed that only one resentful soul could effectively contain a deadwood guard. However, due to the insufficient number of resentful souls, there were only a few ghosts around one of the deadwood guards.
Since the ghosts can only float and cannot fly at will like the resentful souls, the deadwood guards can easily kill the ghosts by simply waving their arms and relying on their own huge strength.
Although affected by the cloud of death, the strength of these deadwood guards did not decrease much. For a time, the ghosts were completely unable to stop the deadwood guards, but suffered considerable losses in their own numbers.
At this time, Rhodes saw this situation and quickly checked his system log to confirm the amount of experience points.
After some calculation, Rhodes took out the weapon from the space ring, and together with the vampire, rushed towards the dead wood guard.
