Rhodes stepped forward directly and faced the retreating undead creature.
Since Rhodes and the vampire were at the outermost edge of the battlefield, the other undead creatures around them could only retreat in the direction of Rhodes. Seeing this opportunity, Rhodes immediately stepped forward to attack.
Even faster than Rhodes was the vampire who had been waiting nearby. The vampire rushed forward and pounced on the group of undead creatures.
The ghost who had been paying attention here saw this and quickly faced the vampire, trying to block it.
After the vampire approached the ghost in the distance, he ignored the ghost in the field and chose to immediately transform into a bat.
The overall attributes of vampires are higher than those of ghosts, but they still cannot kill ghosts quickly. Rhodes realized this in the previous battle.
Therefore, Rhodes directly let the bats generated after bat transformation pass over the ghosts and pounce on the undead creatures behind.
Since there were a large number of walking corpses among the undead creatures behind, under Rhodes' order, the bats all pounced on these walking corpses, completely ignoring the ghosts existing around the walking corpses, and just focused on biting the walking corpses.
The walking corpse is slow, and there is no way to deal with these bats. As long as the bat can hang on the walking corpse, the walking corpse cannot tear the bat off the body unless there are other undead creatures nearby to help.
At this time, the ghosts and ghosts behind them took action one after another to help the surrounding zombies get rid of the bats on their bodies, which undoubtedly greatly slowed down their retreat.
While the bats were frantically biting these walking corpses, Rhodes also joined the battle.
Rhodes waved his sword and faced the nearest ghost.
After the ghost transformed into a vampire bat, it lost its target of attack and could only try to attack the bats flying in the sky and help the surrounding undead creatures clean up the bats.
Just when Rhodes stabbed Yin Hun with his sword, Yin Hun seemed to sense something and dodged directly back.
Since the ghost can float in the air and dodge very quickly, Rhodes stabbed the air with his sword, and then swung his sword again to slash at the ghost in front of him.
Yin Hun raised his hands to protect himself. Rhodes' sword blade slashed at Yin Hun's hands, but without any effect. The sword blade did not cut off Yin Hun's hand bones. Instead, it was as if it had struck an extremely hard object and was bounced off by Yin Hun's hand bones.
A dark light instantly emitted from the place where the ghost was hit, and the dark light flowed through the whole body. Rhodes' attack did not seem to cause effective damage to the ghost.
After Yinhun resisted Rhodes' attack, he swung his claw at Rhodes with his backhand.
Rhodes turned to the side to avoid Yin Hun's attack. At the same time, he slashed with his sword, but Yin Hun raised his hand to block it again.
Rhodes knew that due to his low basic attributes, his normal attacks alone would not be able to cause effective damage to the ghosts, and the use of skills would not be able to attack the vital points of the ghosts, plus he had to face other enemies. best choice.
Seeing the ghost waving its claws at him again, Rhodes glanced at the field, determined the distance between himself and the vampire, and issued an order to the vampire through his spiritual mark. Suddenly, the bats on the walking corpses around him left one after another. Go and gather on the side of the battlefield.
Rhodes raised his hand, and a magic ring of ice was released with him as the center.
In an instant, icy blue ripples spread out rapidly, hitting all nearby undead creatures and making them unstable, especially the ghost in front of Rhodes. When Rhodes released the Ice Demon Ring, the ghost was in the closest position to Rhodes and withstood the maximum damage that the Ice Demon Ring could cause.
When the ice magic ring passed by Yin Hun, a different light flashed on Yin Hun's body. The color of this light is different from the dark light that flashed before, but a strange light that is more blue.
As this ray of light passed over the ghost's body, most of its health points that had been taken away by the ice magic ring were restored. Rhodes noticed this characteristic of the ghost. But at this time, this feature does not seem so important.
After Rhodes raised his hand to release the Ice Magic Ring, he immediately swung his sword forward.
When the dark blue light on Yin Hun's body just appeared, Rhodes' sword arrived in front of Yin Hun's body.
In order to make this attack effective, Rhodes used all the skills currently available in this attack, just to kill the ghost quickly.
Since Yin Hun had just been hit by the ice magic ring, although the damage caused by the magic could be recovered through its own characteristics, there was still a period of time where it was unable to dodge due to the impact of the magic. The sword blade struck accurately on Yin Hun's neck. , kill it.
The purpose of Rhodes releasing this ice magic ring is not only to affect the surrounding undead creatures, but also to expose the flaws in the ghosts around him, so that he can find the opportunity to take action.
After the ghost was killed, without the obstruction of high-level undead creatures, Rhodes began to quickly kill the surrounding low-level undead creatures.
The vampires fought against this group of undead creatures on the side of the battlefield. After killing some walking corpses, the two ghosts on the side immediately rushed towards the vampires, relying on their own characteristics to tightly entangle the vampires.
These undead creatures that were originally retreating have stopped their retreat due to the obstruction of Rhodes and vampires, and they can only fight again.
Previously, the mayor did not choose to pursue these retreating undead creatures because he was afraid that his undead creatures would suffer too much loss. Whether he sent his skeleton warriors to fight or used magic to block the retreat of these undead creatures, the mayor made no move.
But at this time, seeing Rhodes taking action against these undead creatures, Mayor Fang also made new moves.
The skeleton warriors who originally formed a battle formation around the mansion now moved quickly forward in a special formation, intending to attack the retreating undead creatures.
This group of skeleton warriors formed two rows. Those who had been injured in the previous battle were in the back row, while those who were not injured were in the front row. The skeleton warrior in the front row raised his shield and advanced towards the undead creature not far away.
If the mayor was reluctant to take action at first because he wanted to find a good opportunity to take action, then he has undoubtedly found it at this time.
The skeleton warrior meets these retreating undead creatures. For a time, the retreat of these undead creatures completely stopped. Under the siege of Rhodes and the mayor, the undead creatures began to rapidly reduce their numbers.
Rhodes didn't care about the mayor's actions, but focused on killing the surrounding undead creatures from the front.
Suddenly, a feeling of palpitations emerged in Rhodes' heart, and Rhodes rolled away to the side without thinking. At this time, a dark red magic arrow passed by Rhodes.
This magical arrow was shot from the darkness. Before it was shot, Rhodes didn't feel anything unusual. If it weren't for Rhodes' perception of danger, which made him roll to avoid it immediately, he might have been hit by the magic arrow.
Rhodes finished rolling and looked at the location where the magic arrow was shot. It was far away from here, giving Rhodes time to dodge the magic arrow.
Due to the presence of black clouds, Rhodes' vision was extremely poor. In addition, there was no firelight over there. Rhodes could not see the specific situation over there. He could only vaguely feel that someone was standing in the darkness over there, observing. The situation on the battlefield.
At this time, the mayor also began to use magic. A wall of fire rose from the retreating undead ranks, dividing them down the middle.
For a moment, the team of undead creatures was divided into two parts by this wall of fire.
The mayor obviously wanted to use this method to make the other party panic and create an opportunity for the Skeleton Warrior to take action.
Although the mayor is inside the mansion, he obviously has a relatively intuitive grasp of the overall battle situation on the field and will not make any mistakes.
At this time, the necromancer in the darkness saw what was happening. In order to deal with the mayor's wall of fire, he also raised a wall of fire in front of the skeleton warrior, blocking the skeleton warrior from his own undead creatures.
Since the battle was taking place in the mayor's courtyard, the overall space was not spacious. The scope of a wall of fire was enough to block the entire path forward. For a time, the skeleton warrior faced this wall of fire and was also unable to pass.
On the battlefield, two walls of fire rose up, separating their respective formations. This was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Rhodes.
In the team separated by the wall of fire, in the direction close to Rhodes, most of the undead creatures were ghosts and walking corpses. Both of these undead creatures were objects that Rhodes could kill quickly.
With the help of the fire wall, Rhodes can easily kill these undead creatures without the obstruction of high-level undead creatures.
Rhodes' sword blades were swung out one after another, quickly killing the surrounding undead creatures. During the battle, Rhodes had already discovered some problems.
Needing to be prepared for possible spells that might attack again, Rhodes did not focus all his attention on the battle, but allocated part of his energy to be on guard. Because of this, Rhodes discovered some anomalies.
Rhodes realized that under the interception and killing by himself and the vampires, these retreating undead creatures had been heavily damaged, and the hidden necromancer had not made any move except for releasing two spells. He was determined to stay and fight with all his strength. , hesitant to retreat in time.
Rhodes also has his own views on the hidden necromancer. This hidden necromancer has not found the best time whether he controlled the ghosts in the previous battle or cast spells and made decisions at this time.
These thoughts flashed through Rhode's mind. Rhodes was still dealing with the undead creatures in front of him, without any pause in his movements.
As the battle progressed, the wall of fire blocking the skeleton warriors dissipated first, and then the wall of fire in the middle of the undead creature team dissipated.
Although the fire wall dissipated only for a moment, Rhodes obviously noticed this. Based on how long the fire wall lasted, Rhodes understood that the mayor's spiritual attributes clearly exceeded those of the hidden necromancer.
Since most of the undead creatures in front had been killed by Rhodes, Rhodes just turned his attention to the undead creatures behind and saw two ghosts behind him rushing towards him.
Rhodes was shocked. He was about to release the Ice Demonic Ring, but found that the two ghosts were not trying to attack him at all, but were moving aside, bypassing him, and heading towards the direction where the magic arrows had been shot. Rushed over.
Rhodes did not cast any spells, but watched the ghost leave like this. Since there is more than one ghost, if Rhodes wants to forcibly keep the ghost, he will be attacked by the two ghosts together.
At this time, there were several ghosts who also wanted to retreat. Rhodes did not let them retreat peacefully, but stepped forward to stop them.
Since these undead creatures were focused on retreating, after Rhodes killed two ghosts, the rest of the ghosts all fled into the darkness.
There are still some zombies left in front that have not been killed, but it is only a matter of time. Whether it is the skeleton warriors on the mayor's side or the vampires on Rhodes' side, they can kill these zombies without any loss. kill.
Just as the vampire was killing a walking corpse, a skeleton warrior swung his sword directly at the vampire.
The vampire quickly dodged the attack of the skeleton warrior to the side. Just as he was about to fight back at the skeleton warrior, the shield struck by another skeleton warrior came in front of the vampire.
Facing the shield, the vampire also had no countermeasures and had no choice but to dodge back. The vampire signaled to Rhodes through the spiritual imprint.
After receiving the prompt from the spiritual imprint, Rhodes looked at the mayor.
At this time, the vampires were fighting these skeleton warriors, but it seemed that the situation was not particularly good. Under the siege of the skeleton warriors, the vampires wanted to attack, but were always forced back by the skeleton warriors' shields.
The numerical advantage of the Skeleton Warriors was immediately apparent. Facing the many skeleton warriors holding shields in front of them, even if the vampire wants to kill one first, he will be blocked by the skeleton warrior next to him. Vampires don't have any good ideas on how to deal with these skeleton warriors.
The vampire's own advantages were completely unable to be used. Instead, the skeleton warrior exerted his greatest advantage under the control of the mayor.
Rhodes looked at these skeleton warriors. The shields in the hands of these skeleton warriors seemed to be specially crafted and were wider than the shields held by the skeleton warriors that Rhodes had seen before.
Generally, the round shields held by skeleton warriors are only used by undead creatures and are not made too wide. They can only protect half of the body. However, the mayor's shield is obviously specially made and almost covers the entire body of the skeleton warriors. Protect the rear.
Rhodes recalled that these shields were almost as big as the shields held by User before.
With sophisticated equipment and the control of the mayor, the battle formation formed by these skeleton warriors can stop a lot of time even when facing a large number of enemies. When faced with a single enemy, the role of these skeleton warriors truly emerges, suppressing vampires who are higher than them.
For a moment, the vampire was unable to move smoothly and could only be completely suppressed in this way.
Seeing this, Rhodes ignored the retreating undead creatures around him and rushed directly towards the Skeleton Warrior.
