As the necromancer who retreated first died, his few remaining undead creatures suddenly lost control.
But this time, the surrounding necromancers did not control them quickly, but turned pale as if they had realized something.
In the minds of these necromancers, even if this battle fails, it doesn't matter. They only need to retreat with the other necromancers. When there is no danger to their lives, these necromancers will try to obtain greater benefits.
At this time, after seeing this scene, these necromancers realized that the original idea of waiting until the battle was unfavorable to retreat was obviously difficult to realize. The senior necromancers at the rear would not allow this to happen.
For ordinary necromancers, they may not consider the survival of the camp. Even if the camp is destroyed, these necromancers can choose to leave, simply changing their identity and joining the battlefield again.
The senior necromancer obviously knows what these necromancers are thinking. Because they have tasks assigned by the academy, the senior necromancer cannot let the camp fall so easily.
Therefore, the senior necromancer took action against the necromancer who escaped first, undoubtedly in order to warn the remaining necromancers in this way.
Rhodes was also aware of this, but he wasn't too worried.
Rhodes knew that if the official necromancers wanted to escape together, they would not be able to keep them all unless the senior necromancers took full action.
But for senior necromancers, in this case, it would be okay if they just intimidate the surrounding necromancers. Once they attack their own members with all their strength and cast spells, morale will instantly collapse, and the surrounding necromancers will be killed in large numbers. flight.
For the necromancer, if sticking to this place means certain death, then even if there is a glimmer of hope in escaping from the hands of the senior necromancer, they will try their best to fight for it.
Through the intimidation of the senior necromancers, the other necromancers around them immediately suppressed their thoughts of escaping and began to concentrate on facing the Eri creatures in front of them. However, the flashing light in their eyes foreshadowed what they were thinking. What he was thinking of was not a simple battle.
Rhodes looked around and saw an official necromancer who was also looking here.
Based on what he learned while distributing tasks in the camp two days ago, Rhodes remembered that the official necromancer in front of him was also one of the black crow messengers inside the camp, and his name seemed to be Syl.
After discovering this, Rhodes didn't say much and just nodded towards Siel.
In the previous battle, due to the noise made by Rhodes' control of the Bone Vine Guards, Ciel noticed the situation on Rhodes' side. When he saw Rhodes responding to him, Ciel suddenly felt happy.
At this time, although the senior necromancers in the rear did not attack with all their strength, Cyr clearly felt that he was losing the momentum. Therefore, in Cyr's mind, he had already had the idea of retreating, but he was suffering from the fact that the necromancers around him were still fighting. , unable to find the time to retreat.
The surrounding necromancers were very clear about the impact of giving priority to retreat, so they did not dare to be the first to retreat. They were just waiting for the time when the necromancers were completely defeated and everyone around them retreated together.
Syl observed the surroundings in order to unite with the official necromancers who had the same idea as him. In Syl's mind, Rhodes, who had the Bone Vine Guards, obviously had the strength to join forces with him.
On the battlefield, although the Necromancer did not start to flee, he retreated repeatedly. The battle line had reached the middle and rear of the camp from the original front.
It can be clearly seen that these necromancers spread out formations and led the undead creatures to fight on their own. While fighting, they had to guard against their original companions.
Seeing this situation, the senior necromancer behind her turned pale, but she also didn't have any good strategies. The necromancer was destined not to fight for such a task. No matter how many methods she used, it would only delay the necromancer's opportunity to retreat. .
Compared to the Necromancer side, Eli's attacking side has higher morale at this time. These undead creatures around them can arouse the anger in their hearts, and repelling the enemies one after another will boost their morale.
Perhaps in order to consolidate one's own morale, the [Undead Killer] that originally appeared on the battlefield appeared again, killing a large number of surrounding undead creatures.
This time, many necromancers finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to flee towards the surroundings, but were instantly enveloped by the cloud of death.
The senior necromancer in the rear did not use magic to deal with the enemy's mage leader, but used magic on his own necromancer.
The movements of the senior necromancer seemed to convey a message, and the official necromancers around him began to move at the same time.
Several official necromancers took their most powerful undead creatures and began to flee to the side, while those low-level undead creatures were left on the battlefield to delay the enemy's pursuit.
Rhodes also received a look from Syl and realized that now was the best time to evacuate.
Beside Rhodes, a vine hung down. Rhodes reached out and grabbed the vine, and with the traction of the vine, Rhodes moved upward and landed on the Bone Vine Guard's shoulders.
Standing here, Rhodes can clearly observe all the situations on the battlefield. In Rhode's sight, in addition to the escaping undead mages around him, there were even mage leaders on both sides.
At this time, in order to prevent further retreat, the senior necromancers in the rear began to unleash a large number of death clouds on the surrounding necromancers.
For a time, all the official necromancers were attacked by the cloud of death. Even Rhodes, who was on the bone vine guard, was also attacked by this attack.
The Cloud of Death is a spell used by the Necromancer to specifically attack living creatures. It can cause aging and corruption in living creatures and cause corrosive damage at the same time. But to undead creatures, the cloud of death cannot cause any harm.
Even a necromancer who can control undead creatures is not immune to the damage caused by the cloud of death because his body is still a living creature.
Even a formal necromancer who is escaping has no way to resist once his body is shrouded in the cloud of death. Under the erosion of the cloud of death, the body of the necromancer rapidly decays.
Rhodes saw that the originally intact bodies of several necromancers were gradually turning black and slowly melting in the cloud of death until their bones were exposed. Not a drop of blood remained, and they were instantly disappeared in this dark green death. among the clouds.
