"That's... Hero Sodofei. Damn it, Rhodes actually captured Hero Sodofei as a hostage... "
"What do we do now?"
After noticing the restrained silver-haired half-elf in front of Rhodes, everyone let out a series of exclamations. What was undisguised among them was their contempt for Rhodes' behavior. They didn't expect that Rhodes would take a hostage at this moment. Forcing the jungle guardians not to come close.
The only thing that can make the jungle guardians feel at ease is that the earth element monarch who arrived has already blocked the entire battlefield with his own earth domain at the first time, turning the territory around the battlefield into the most solid earth. It is indestructible and cuts off all possibilities of space magic.
As the name of the monarch indicates, the earth element monarch's blockade of space is only limited to the earth. Once the enemy rises to high altitude, it will escape the blockade of the earth realm. However, Rhodes has no way to do this, because once he rises to the sky, he In the air, the phantom arrow in Gru's hand that is ready to go will kill him immediately and completely, and there will be no other possibility.
The jungle guardians gathered nearby had long been prepared to attack the Lord of the Undead, but his move to capture the hostage also made the jungle guardians avoid getting too close for a while.
"Lord of the Undead! Do you dare not to use such insidious and cunning methods? Do you dare not to hide behind the hostages and come out to fight to the death like a hero?"
Faced with Rhode's move, the grumpy dwarf king Eufredin immediately let out a roar. The anger in his eyes could no longer be restrained, and he yelled for Rhode to come out from behind the hostage.
In response, Rhodes just sneered: "What? I took the hostage as a cunning act? You heroes besieging me alone is an act of justice? I asked you to challenge me, do you have the courage?"
As if aware of the merciless sarcasm in Rhode's words, the Dwarf King was so excited that he was speechless for a moment. He could only stay there and stare. With the strength of the Dwarf King, he was certainly not Rhodes. This is an obvious fact. Naturally, he could not refute Rhodes shamelessly. However, in terms of momentum, he still did not want to be overwhelmed by Rhodes, and immediately roared:
"Lord of the Undead, you have done many evil things, and everyone in Elli will punish you. You can't use your words to disturb the determination of the people in Elli. Under the encirclement of the jungle guardians, let's see where you can run this time!"
Hearing this, Rhodes shrugged. He was not surprised by the dwarf king's reaction. As early as the moment he took action, he thought of the possible difficulties he would face.
Sodofei, who was in Rhode's arms with the Titan's arrow lying across her slender neck, couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this moment. She couldn't help but look at Rhode with a bit of complaint in her eyes:
"What on earth are you doing? Did you save me from the Doomsday Blade just to kill me for yourself? I don't believe you would do such a thing. Let me go quickly and let me join the other jungle guardians. The reporter explained that as long as they know that you are not here to destroy the jungle, but to prevent the swords from colliding, maybe... maybe you can leave safely."
In response, Rhodes just laughed: "So what if they listen to your explanation? Do you think there is room for change in this situation? No one will let go of such a good opportunity easily. , Sodofei, you still think that the guardian of the jungle is too simple."
Hearing this, Sodofei was also a little helpless. Of course, she knew that it was undoubtedly impossible to let Rhodes leave safely. As long as Rhodes appeared here, no matter what his position was, he would be attacked by the guardian of the jungle. Their siege will not end until the moment of his death.
"Why is this happening..." Sudofei looked a little disappointed in his eyes, "Why can't people understand each other, but have constant disputes?"
Hearing this, even Rhodes was speechless and couldn't help but glance at her: "Are you serious? Is this what you think?"
Sodofei just nodded, and her slightly pursed lips seemed to express the faint sadness in her heart: "If you could understand the suffering of the creatures in Eli, you would not invade this place with undead, nor would you become Lord of the Undead, if the Eri creatures could understand you and understand that you actually saved me and saved the whole world from danger, you would not be besieged by the guardians of the jungle. If people can understand each other, maybe, I mean, maybe, we can become true companions.”
In this regard, Rhodes just shook his head. He didn't know what happened to the half-elf to suddenly talk about such a topic. Even Rhodes couldn't help but cast his eyes on the arrogant king who was eyeing him in the distance: "You should ask Lucifer about this question. It was he who brought the original heroic will to the world, and it is destined that heroes will only fight for their own will and are destined not to understand each other. Can you understand the way? Does Xifa want to kill all the walking corpses out of anger, or is Tularion killing people just to prove his love? I think not."
After hearing Rhode's answer, Soduofei stopped talking and just looked at Rhode beside her with a look full of sorrow. Even Rhode felt a little unnatural by her gaze and had to cough dryly. : "Don't worry, everything is under my control. You are Jenny's apprentice. Jenny will stop other jungle guardians for your safety."
As if to confirm what Rhodes said, in front of the jungle guardians, Jenny, holding an ice sword and wearing a green robe and white clothes, was looking at Sodofei in front of Rhodes with a worried expression.
"Guardian Jenny, the person captured by the Lord of the Undead is your chief apprentice, the hero Sodofei. If we act rashly, it is likely to force Rhodes to harm the hostages. What should we do now?"
On the side, the patrol told Jenny about the situation on the battlefield, and at the same time brought her doubts about the other jungle guardians. Because the hostage is Jenny's apprentice, even the rest of the jungle guardians are not willing to act rashly past Jenny at this moment, lest something happen that no one wants to see happen.
Looking at Sodofei with the Titan's arrow across her neck, Jenny's face was full of sadness. Even from a distance, she could feel her concern for her chief apprentice, and she did not want to see her killed by the undead. The main injury was caused by the thought of more important responsibilities. Jenny's expression gradually changed from the initial sadness to the determination of a hero. Faced with the oncoming evil and the enemies who harmed all living beings, there was something Sometimes sacrifices are inevitable. "We do not make any conditions with the evil people. Doing so will only reveal our weakness and bring more imitators in the future. From the moment Sodofei fell into the hands of the Lord of the Dead, she was treated as if she had already For Eli's heroic sacrifice, not only Sodofei, but also any hostage who fell into the hands of the Lord of the Undead, don't worry about the safety of the hostages, the most important thing is to eliminate the Lord of the Undead!"
Jenny's words boosted the morale of the nearby jungle guardians. With Jenny's promise, they no longer had to worry about accidentally injuring Jenny's apprentice in the fierce battle. The only goal at the moment was to kill the undead. The Lord took it completely, thereby eliminating a major enemy in the Doomsday War.
"What?" Hearing this, even Rhodes couldn't help being slightly startled. Things seemed to be a little different from what he expected. According to the calculation of god-level wisdom, the result of Jenny giving up his apprenticeship should only be a small probability event. That's right, I didn't expect it to actually happen. However, once it happened, it would be extremely detrimental to him, which meant that he was about to endure a fierce siege by the jungle guardians, and his life was very likely to be in danger.
"What?" Sodofei was also slightly stunned, unable to believe that it was actually an order given by Master Jenny, "Sir Jenny actually gave up on me at this moment... Although I understand the choice she made, but no matter what Said, this is still a bit too heartless... "
As if noticing the gaze of Rhodes next to her, Sodofei glared at Rhodes full of blame: "It's all your fault. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, Master Jenny wouldn't have done this. Choice! Now, is this also part of your plan?"
As he said that, Sodofei seemed not to be satisfied, and looked at Rhodes with a hint of gloominess: "I remember you used this method in Brakada before, by taking hostages. Threatening Jenny, and the hostages you took last time included me. Do you think the same trick can work twice? Because of your previous actions, Lord Jenny has long been prepared to deal with this situation. Really? yes… "
Rhodes was a little helpless. Things seemed to be developing for the worst, so he could only shrug and said: "The situation seems to be a little unfavorable to me. Maybe I shouldn't have saved you just now, so I just let you die by the Blade of Doom. What do you think?" right?"
"You..." Hearing the teasing meaning in Rhode's words, Sodofei couldn't stand it anymore. She ignored the lightning sword in front of her slender neck, turned sideways, and stretched out her hand to hold it. De beat his body twice, but it hurt his hand. How could anyone say such a thing after saving themselves
"What's wrong? Do you want to prove that it was a better choice for me to save you before? Then prove it to me. I need your hero skills. Although the earth elemental monarch blocked the space on the earth, he also imposed special powers on me. A hundred times the gravity of ordinary people, but there is nothing you can do about the sky controlled by the Lord of the Air Element. As long as you can use the power of the hero's specialty to let me avoid the lock of the phantom arrow and reach the sky in an instant, I can leave safely. ." After sensing the dissatisfaction in Sodofei's heart, Rhodes spoke slowly.
Sodofei was slightly stunned, and seemed to have guessed what Rhodes was thinking: "You want me to help you get out of trouble? No matter what, I am also a member of Eli, how can I help you at this moment?"
"Although you are a member of the Eli, when you are in danger, when you are about to be killed by the Doomsday Blade, the one who comes to save you is not other people in the Eli, but me, the Lord of the Undead. Even Jenny , and also gave up on you when you needed it most, don’t you want to do something?”
"Hey..." Facing Rhode's persuasion, Soduofei just made an unclear sound, but judging from the change in her expression, she was indeed a little shaken by Rhode's persuasion, "You come here. Saving me is obviously for other purposes."
As he said that, Sodofei also stared at Rhodes: "Maybe the other jungle guardians don't know, but I know very well that you are here to prevent the world from being destroyed by the aftermath of the collision of the divine swords, at least in this matter. , you are on the side of justice, and you also saved me from the Doomsday Blade. I can't help you regardless of emotion or reason. In this case, well, even after this, I will Being Eli's sinner, at least I still have a clear conscience."
Hearing this, even Rhodes couldn't help but take another look at her. He didn't expect that Sodofei would really agree to help him, who was supposed to be Eli's biggest enemy. Rhodes was originally considering other backup plans, but now, Things also seem to have become much simpler.
Rhodes also noticed Soduofei's embarrassment and entanglement. On the one hand, he believed in the concept of repaying kindness in his heart, and on the other hand, he hated evil as a member of Eli. Two completely different emotions, in Soduofei's The hearts were torn apart, and the thoughts in her heart could not be unified. Even the eyes looking at Rhodes were filled with a bit of imperceptible loss.
"If one day Eli no longer welcomes you, the Kingdom of the Dead will always open its door to you." As if thinking of something, Rhodes couldn't help but said.
On such a battlefield, one can imagine how much pressure Sodofei endured in her heart by helping Rhodes, who was Eli's biggest enemy. When the matter was over, no matter what the outcome of Rhodes was, Sodofei's fate would be It can be said that it will definitely not be any better. The guardians of the jungle in Eli will never tolerate the existence of such a traitor who helps the Lord of the Dead.
Even though he knew the possible consequences, Sodofei still made his own choice, which was to implement the persistence in his heart and choose to help Rhodes at this moment, just as Rhodes knew that he would be besieged and still stayed in the end. It was as if the blade had saved her.
It's just that unlike Rhodes, Rhodes always has a backup plan. Even if he is in a desperate situation, he can let Moriel reverse time and start everything over again. But for Sodofei, she can't start over. Opportunity, but she still chose to do it despite not knowing the way forward and facing many obstacles. Even Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"What a country of the undead... you are still so unreliable."
In response, Sodofei just laughed dumbly and paid no attention to the kingdom of the dead mentioned by Rhodes. As a member of Eli, she did not want to join any kingdom of the dead. In the end, she just looked at Rhodes with a firm look. : "I'm ready to use the power of my hero's specialty."
