Chapter 1163: Countermeasures
Leading a large number of necromancers, before he could fully reach the outskirts of the Emerald City, Rhodes took the lead in casting spells, trying to take the lead in this battle and destroy the enemy's defenses at the same time.
The meteor rain that fell from the sky was the strongest range spell that Rhodes had mastered, and it was extremely effective in siege.
In order to hide the power of the artifact, Rhodes could not directly release the cloud of death that enveloped the entire town and erode the creatures inside, as he did in the Shadow City, and once this was done, news of the artifact would spread, or it would not be long before Rhodes would be besieged by legendary creatures.
As for casting a meteor shower, there will be no problem. Prior to this, Rhodes had already shown the ability to cast a meteor shower in the battle in Vilning, as long as the creatures in Eli could clearly understand this if they collected a little intelligence, and because of this, Rhodes had no need to hide this ability.
During the time he waited for the necromancers to gather, Rhodes had already completed his investigation of the intelligence in Eli, and combined with the events that happened in Erathia, Rhodes had a general understanding of the fortifications in Eli.
There has always been a cooperative relationship between Erathia and Eli, especially at this moment, when Diya's necromancer has made a big move, the cooperation between them will be even closer, regardless of any previous contradictions, and the attention will be completely focused on the necromancer.
Previously, the Lich who expanded its army in Erathia had already attracted the attention of too many people, and if the appropriate countermeasures were not taken, the massive number of corpse witches transformed by the Lich would sweep across Erathia, and once that situation really happened, no creature would be able to stop the Lich from conquering the world.
Because of this, as early as the exile of Rod, Eli made a pact with Erathia to send a large number of elven mages from the territory to Erathia to provide support, so that the lich would not eventually endanger the entire continent.
This time, when Erry's attack on the necromancer is in full swing, in return, the legendary hero who served in Erathia, the Legion Commander Half-Elf Gru, will lead the troops directly under him to support Erry.
In the face of the lich who controls a large number of corpse witches, the means of dealing with conventional creatures cannot stop them from moving forward, and the sacrifice of ordinary creatures will only provide a steady stream of forces for the lich, and only mages can rely on their unique spell-casting ability to deal with these menacing enemies.
Mages have spellcasting abilities that can be used for more than just head-on combat. Evacuating the inhabitants of the city in advance is also one of the uses of spells, and even in the face of enemies with forbidden powers, mages can find countermeasures, let alone the current situation.
According to the information learned in his previous life, if it weren't for the fact that Bracada was in the midst of a civil strife and had no time to take care of the anomalies in Erathia, Rhodes even suspected that Bracada's mages would also join the battle this time, and at that time, the enemies he would have to face would not be as simple as they are now.
Due to the agreement reached between Eli and Erathia, Eli, who was not the main target of necromancers, did not leave many elven mages behind, and was replaced by a legendary hero who had been famous on the continent for a long time.
Before coming to the Emerald City, Rhodes was ready to encounter the legendary hero head-on, and the meteor rain released was also to lure him out.
Looking at the Emerald City in front of him, Rod could feel a peaceful aura from it, but for some reason, Rod sensed an indescribable abnormality.
The flaming boulders continued to fall from the sky, bombarding the buildings in the city, destroying them and causing a huge fire, and for a while, the entire Emerald City was on fire.
The delicate wooden buildings of the past, under the scorching flames, quickly turned into scorched earth, and were not confined to the Emerald City, and the flames still had a tendency to spread into the dense forest.
As if he realized something, Rod's face turned blue for a while, and at this time, he finally knew where the abnormal feeling came from.
The Emerald City that was bombarded by the meteor rain did not have any death energy coming out, and in addition, Rod's experience value did not jump at all, all of which showed Rhodes that the Emerald City at this time was already empty.
Long before the arrival of the necromancer, the creatures in the Emerald City had evacuated early, and they had no intention of fighting the necromancer at all.
Recalling the creatures of Eri he had seen along the way, in Rhodes's impression, in addition to the elven assassins who carried out sneak attacks under the cover of giant trees, only the elven archers who were originally located on the walls of the Emerald City were left, but with the fall of the meteor shower, they had long since disappeared.
What remained in front of Rhodes was only the empty city of Emerald City, and even the original buildings in the city were destroyed by the meteor rain at this time.
Seeing that the fire was spreading to the dense forest, Rhodes raised his hand to cast a spell to control the fire that spread outward.
Since there are no Eri creatures, the spread of the fire is undoubtedly meaningless, once the fire continues to expand, it will not only block the path of the necromancer to the dense forest, but also drive the forest creatures to the deepest part of the dense forest, if that would be more than worth the loss.
According to Rhodes' original idea, such an important border direction, Eri Biology would inevitably deploy heavy defenses, and Rhodes was even ready to fight the legendary hero, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.
The empty Emerald City sent an important message to Rhodes, that is, the elves of Eri had no intention of confronting the necromancer, but tried to drag the battle to the territory they were familiar with, that is, guerrilla warfare in the woods.
In Rhodes' perception, the existence of the other two lichs also led the corpse witches they transformed during this period of time to approach the direction of the Emerald City, but in the face of the empty city in front of him, this arrangement also seemed meaningless.
Seeing that there were no creatures in the Emerald City, Rhodes sighed, and then used the spirit mark to pass the message to the lich who was approaching the Emerald City.
According to the response of the spirit seal, the two lichs did not continue to approach, but split into two sides, exploring along the border of Eri, transforming all the creatures they came across.
Without gaining any experience points, Rhodes was more concerned about the unique things near the Emerald City, namely the existence of the Emerald Mine and the spatial calibration that existed in it.
