At this time, the mayor was standing inside the door of the mansion, observing the fighting in the field.
This position has a relatively wide field of vision, and because there is a mansion blocking it, even if the attacker is aware of his position, it will be difficult for him to use magic to attack him remotely.
Since there were fires everywhere, the mayor didn't have to worry about line of sight. Standing in the mansion, he could take in the overall battle situation.
At first, the attacking undead creatures retreated one after another. The mayor did not ask his skeleton warriors to pursue them, but still stood in front of the mansion. When he saw another party appearing from behind and restraining most of the retreating undead creatures, the mayor decided to attack.
Including the original release of the spell, all the mayor wanted was to eliminate as many undead creatures controlled by the enemy as possible. It was not until he saw a different undead creature during the battle that the mayor had new ideas.
Based on his past experience, the mayor realized the moment he saw the bats appearing that these bats were transformed into vampires. Perhaps ordinary undead creatures could not explain anything, but the identity of the vampire undoubtedly conveyed some information to the mayor.
The mayor realized that the person controlling the vampire was the necromancer who came to his mansion before. The mayor also had his own guess about this necromancer, but he didn't know whether the guess was accurate.
Therefore, in order to verify his idea and test the opponent's strength, the mayor controlled the skeleton warrior to slash at the vampire not far away, and successfully suppressed the vampire.
At this time, seeing the necromancer controlling the vampire rushing towards him, the mayor watched his movements intently, ready to control the skeleton warrior to respond at any time.
… …
Rhodes came to the front of this group of skeleton warriors.
In order to suppress the vampire, the skeleton warriors held up their shields and formed a formation beside the vampire, suppressing the vampire in the center of the formation.
The vampire waved his claws, wanting to attack the skeleton warriors in front of him, but looking at the large number of shields, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to take action.
With these shields in front of him and this special formation, the skeleton warrior can resist the vampire's attack very well.
Rhodes rushed to the vampire and saw this scene.
At Rhodes's signal, the vampire immediately transformed into a bat. At this time, an icy blue ripple spread rapidly towards the group of skeleton warriors on the side.
Compared to creatures like ghosts and ghosts, the Skeleton Warriors, although they cooperate tacitly under the control of the mayor and appear to be very powerful, are still only first-order creatures.
The Skeleton Warriors at the back were fine, but the Skeleton Warriors in front with their shields raised were less than half of their lives due to the close distance, and due to the impact of the Ice Demon Ring, The skeleton warriors' formation collapsed.
Taking advantage of the group of skeleton warriors being dispersed by the Ice Demonic Ring, Rhodes rushed out directly towards the skeleton warriors. Due to the short distance, he reached the nearest skeleton warrior in an instant.
Crossing over the shield held by the skeleton warrior, Rhodes slashed sideways with his sword, directly decapitating the skeleton warrior in front of him.
Rhodes kept moving. After beheading a skeleton warrior, he continued to rush towards other skeleton warriors nearby.
Under the control of the mayor, the impact of the ice magic ring on these skeleton warriors only lasted for a moment, and then these skeleton warriors returned to stability.
At this time, the bats produced by the vampire bats also came to these skeleton warriors and began to bite these skeleton warriors.
In response to the bat attack, the Skeleton Warriors' original formation began to scatter, and this dispersion was the greatest help to Rhodes at this time.
Taking advantage of their numerical advantage, the bats surrounded these skeleton warriors and began to attack, but neither their teeth nor their claws left a few bright white scratches on the gray skeletons. Can have too big an effect.
Since the skeleton warriors have no flesh and blood on their bodies, it is difficult for the bats produced by the vampire bats alone to cause effective damage to the skeleton warriors in front of them through their bites. Therefore, Rhodes did not let the vampire choose bat transformation from the beginning.
At this time, in order to let the vampires cooperate with his magic and make the formation of these skeleton warriors more chaotic, Rhodes asked the vampires to use bat transformation.
The bats produced after transforming into vampire bats do not have much combat consciousness. Apart from attacking an enemy according to rough orders or gathering in one place, they will not focus on their weak points to attack.
Although the bats produced after bat transformation cannot kill these skeleton warriors, they can restrain them very well. The main force against this group of skeleton warriors was Rhodes, who was holding a sword at the side.
Although the vampire's body is restrained by these skeleton warriors, by transforming into a bat, it can make it difficult for the skeleton warriors to deal with it.
Due to the characteristics of skeleton creatures, the bats did not cause much damage to these skeleton warriors, but looking at the group of skeleton warriors in front of them waving their swords randomly and attacking the bats in the sky, Rhodes knew that the bats had a very good effect. This caused chaos among these skeleton warriors in the battle formation.
Rhodes looked at a skeleton warrior not far away. In order to deal with the bats in the sky, the skeleton warrior swung his sword, causing the shield that was originally blocking him to tilt to the side.
Seeing the flaw exposed by the Skeleton Warrior, Rhodes rushed out and slashed down with his sword.
The skeleton warrior reacted immediately and blocked the shield in front of him. Rhodes' attack hit the shield.
Rhodes knew that the Skeleton Warrior could not react so quickly just by relying on his combat instinct. The reason why he could withstand his attack must be the control of the mayor in the mansion.
Rhodes quickly scanned his surroundings. Since the skeleton warriors were fighting bats, the mayor did not choose to control the skeleton warriors.
After all, if you want to deal with the bats in the sky, the mayor's control will not be of any help to the Skeleton Warrior's moves. Instead, it will restrict the Skeleton Warrior's own movements.
Since there is no need to control the skeleton warrior to deal with the bats in the sky, the mayor can observe Rhodes' movements with peace of mind. Just when Rhodes selected a target and prepared to attack, the mayor immediately controlled the skeleton warrior and let it block Rhodes' attack.
Although he realized this, Rhodes didn't have any good way to deal with the mayor for a while. The mayor himself was located behind the group of skeleton warriors. In addition, Rhodes had previously sensed that there might be unknown things in the mansion. Undead creature, Rhodes obviously couldn't kill the mayor first.
The mayor obviously has unique skills in manipulating the skeleton warriors. Even if Rhodes is in a chaotic battlefield and the surrounding environment is not bright, the mayor can quickly find the target Rhodes is preparing to deal with, and accurately control the skeleton warrior to make corresponding actions.
Rhodes turned around and swung his sword again, but it was still blocked by the skeleton warrior's shield.
Rhodes flew up and kicked the shield held by the skeleton warrior, trying to kick the shield aside and find an opportunity for himself to draw his sword.
But the Skeleton Warrior steadily blocked Rhodes' attack, and at the same time took a few steps back, keeping the shield in front of him.
On the side, many bats attacked the skeleton warrior and were destroyed by the sword of the skeleton warrior.
Of course, the actions of these bats are not completely ineffective. Since many skeleton warriors have suffered damage from the ice magic ring before, although the bats cannot kill the skeleton warriors, they can reduce the skeleton warriors' health again.
Even if a single bat does not cause high damage to the Skeleton Warrior, with the numerical advantage of bats, it can still cause objective damage to the Skeleton Warrior.
The rest of the skeleton warriors were still dealing with the surrounding bats, not paying attention at all. Only the skeleton warrior in front of them still held up the shield. Even if the bats on the side jumped on it and bit it, it remained motionless.
Rhodes looked past the group of skeleton warriors in front of him and looked at the mansion not far away.
The surroundings of the mansion seemed unchanged from when they first entered. But the door of the mansion was opened, and it was dark inside without any light. Rhodes couldn't see clearly what was inside, but Rhodes knew that the mayor was standing in the mansion, observing all the situations on the battlefield.
Ignoring the mayor's position, Rhodes looked at the skeleton warrior in front of him again and rushed over.
The skeleton warrior raised his shield, trying to resist Rhodes' attack, but Rhodes leaned down and swept across with his sword.
Although the shield held by the Skeleton Warrior is relatively wide, since the Skeleton Warrior has the shield close to his head, although the shield protects the Skeleton Warrior's head and entire upper body, it still cannot cover his entire body.
The sword blade swept across the Skeleton Warrior's leg. The two leg bones of the Skeleton Warrior were directly broken, and the cross section was smooth and neat. Although Rhodes did not use any skills with this sword, it still showed the power of his expert swordsmanship.
Due to a broken leg bone, the skeleton warrior fell to the side.
Rhodes immediately stepped out towards the fallen Skeleton Warrior. The Skeleton Warrior quickly put his shield in front of him and blocked Rhode's kick, making a muffled sound.
The skeleton warrior exerted force on the shield and tried to push it up.
Feeling the movements of the Skeleton Warrior on the soles of his feet, Rhodes also increased the intensity of his suppression.
At this time, the skeleton warrior saw a sword light coming. Even though the surrounding environment was dark, but with the firelight burning on the battlefield, the skeleton warrior could clearly see that the flashing red sword blade was slashing towards his neck. Come.
The Skeleton Warrior wanted to move his shield up to block the incoming sword light, but the shield was firmly stepped on by Rhodes, suppressing it so that it could not move.
The sword blade slashed down, instantly cutting off the neck of the skeleton warrior, and the soul fire in the skull that fell to the ground slowly extinguished.
At this time, a skeleton warrior next to him rushed towards Rhodes with a shield. Rhodes ducked and retreated, dodging the charge of the skeleton warrior.
After completing the dodge, Rhodes ignored the skeleton warrior charging at him, and quickly swung his sword at the other skeleton warrior closest to him.
The other skeleton warrior instantly gave up on the bat he was dealing with and raised his shield to face Rhodes, blocking Rhodes' attack.
Rhodes wanted to repeat his old trick and leaned forward to slash with his sword, but was blocked by the skeleton warrior's shield that he pulled down in time.
After the last skeleton warrior was killed by Rhodes in this way, the mayor became aware of Rhodes's move. It was obviously not that easy to kill several skeleton warriors with this move again.
Rhodes attacked several times in succession, but was completely blocked by the shield held by the skeleton warrior.
During these attacks, Rhodes also discovered that whenever the Skeleton Warrior concentrated on resisting his own attacks, he was unable to counterattack him and could only hold up his shield to block in front of him.
This group of skeleton warriors does not attack the enemy by blocking and then counterattacking. Instead, the skeleton warriors in front focus on resisting, while the other skeleton warriors on the side take the opportunity to attack.
Because of the Skeleton Warrior's approach, when a Skeleton Warrior resisted with all his strength and did not attack at all, Rhodes could not find the Skeleton Warrior's flaw by relying on his moves alone.
Rhodes raised his hand and released a magical arrow at the skeleton warrior's leg. After releasing the spell, Rhodes rushed out.
Facing the attacking magic, the Skeleton Warrior immediately tried to dodge to the side, but because the equipment on his body was too heavy, it suppressed the Skeleton Warrior's own speed. When the magic came to the Skeleton Warrior, the Skeleton Warrior also Just start moving.
The magic arrow accurately hit the skeleton warrior's leg. With an explosion, the skeleton warrior fell to the ground. The place where a leg bone used to be was now empty.
Taking advantage of the moment when the magic arrow hit the Skeleton Warrior, Rhodes came to its side. When the Skeleton Warrior fell and was exposed in the air, he killed the Skeleton Warrior with a heavy slash.
At this time, there were not many bats in the field, and Rhodes knew that the vampire's bat transformation skills could not be maintained for much longer.
Rhodes gave an order to the vampire and was about to raise his hand to release the Ice Demonic Ring when he saw the skeleton warriors around him retreating quickly.
For some reason, after the number of bats was greatly reduced, the skeleton warriors did not choose to attack Rhodes. Instead, they all retreated towards the mansion. Finally, they stood in a row in front of the mansion and re-formed the battle that Rhodes first saw. Array.
For a moment, Rhodes didn't make any other moves. He just stopped at the same position and watched the movements of these skeleton warriors.
The vampires gathered behind Rhodes and looked at the location in front of the mansion.
Under Rhodes' gaze, the mayor walked out of the shadows at the door of the mansion.
The mayor's dress was not much different from the previous one. He was still wearing a black robe. At this time, he had put on his hood. Under the cover of darkness, there was a layer of shadows all around him.
At this time, the mayor was staring at Rhodes, as if he wanted to confirm something.
Rhodes was not in a hurry and looked at the mayor with the same expressionless expression, waiting for his words.
