Chapter 1013: The Puppet One
Seeing that Smead had no intention of joining the battle, Ace stopped trying after asking about it, and Rhodes didn't ask much about it, although he found something unusual about the legendary lich.
Rod knew that even Sandru in his previous life had not made Smad join the battle, and no matter how much he tried, it might just be in vain.
"If you don't have any opinions, I'll go to the area where you live in turn and complete the transformation of the initial corpse witch king for you."
After planning the battle, looking at the lichs in the field, Rhodes said.
In the Death Wasteland, the broken bones that can be transformed by Rhodes have already been transformed by Rhodes in the process of these transformations, and the corpse witch kings who are not controlled are not enough for these lich demons in the field to distribute, in order to provide them with enough corpse witch kings, Rhodes can only go to the area where they live and transform the corpses they have accumulated in the past.
"I still have some ideas."
The sudden words disrupted Rod's thoughts, and Rod looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see that it was Phoenix who said these words not far away.
In the absence of many lichs in the field, Phoenix took the initiative to speak, as if to foreshadow something, his eyes flashed with some inexplicable looks, although affected by the momentum of many lichs, his presence seemed to be inconspicuous, but a firm will could be detected from him.
"What do you want to say?"
Looking at Phoenix, Rhodes wondered what he was trying to say on such an occasion.
Both the situation in the previous life expansion and the current contact made Rhodes realize that Phoenix is not a simple being, and although he may not be as powerful as the Lich in terms of strength, the level of trouble is likely to be superior.
For this reason, even if he didn't want to have too much contact with the necromancer, Rhodes had to listen to him.
"It is foreseeable that once the battle begins, the number of corpse witches will increase dramatically, and when the efficacy of the artifact is exposed to the eyes of other creatures, it will inevitably attract a large number of ill-intentioned creatures for the holder of the artifact."
"Neither Erathia nor Eri will let this happen, and at that time, I'm afraid that even legendary creatures will join forces to deal with the owner of the artifact."
The meaning of Phoenix's words did not sound much different from what Aisha had said before, all of which indicated that the ownership of the artifact should be placed on a powerful being.
What puzzled Rhodes was that when the situation was so clear, even Aisha had to retreat for a while, Phoenix should not have said such words, maybe he had other intentions.
Sure enough, Phoenix's next words verified Rod's guess, and he only heard Phoenix continue:
"I'm not questioning the ownership of the artifact like Elsa-sama, I'm just expressing to the owner of the artifact, isn't it good to expose the existence of the artifact to all other creatures?"
"You know, the many great heroes in the realm of Eli, plus the legendary creatures combined, will be an extremely powerful force, you may face endless joint assassinations from these creatures, and even legendary creatures from other forces will be present. Once there is a problem with the existence of the artifact, this battle will not be necessary. ”
From Phoenix's words, Rhodes did hear the difference between his thoughts and Elsa's, and he roughly understood his purpose, so he took his words and asked:
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Not only Rhodes, but even the other lichs also looked at Phoenix at this time, and the necromancer's words also caught their attention.
"I naturally don't have any suggestions for the planning of the campaign, but I have some ideas about the use of artifacts. I recommend that at the beginning of the campaign, do not reveal information about artifacts, especially about the artifact's owner, i.e., your existence. ”
Phoenix's suggestion about the artifact immediately attracted the attention of the lich in the field, and a deep voice that had never appeared before began to spread through the field.
"This is impossible to do, the effect of the artifact, there is no way to hide it, even if we don't expose it, other creatures can detect the existence of the artifact according to some clues, and it will eventually be traced to Rod."
Hearing the words of the unknown lich, Phoenix's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly:
"So before Rod's identity is truly revealed, we need a target on the surface, and all the lichs will speak in unison, unanimously calling him the bearer of the artifact."
"This target can be the existence of powerful and unafraid legendary creatures, such as the great Mother of the Earth, Eisray, or the existence of weak strength and even if sacrificed, it will not make people feel pity, such as ......"
As he spoke, Phoenix looked back at Rhodes, and this time, Rhodes really saw the light in Phoenix's eyes, an ambition that would not be weaker than any other creature.
“…… I. ”
Phoenix's self-proclaimed words did not arouse the disgust of the lichs in the field, but caused these lichs to think deeply, and they knew very well what kind of situation the owner of the artifact would face once the battle really began.
When the effectiveness of the Demon King's Cloak is fully revealed, the number of corpse witches will be unstoppable on the battlefield head-on.
In this case, the only way to curb the growth of the Necro is to attack the owner of the artifact directly, destroy it in a corresponding way, and destroy the artifact in their hands.
At that time, the artifact wielder will naturally have to bear the greatest threat, and he will have to face the combined assassination of legendary creatures that appear in batches, as well as the legendary creatures mentioned by Phoenix.
In the Thieves' Guild, the bounty for artifact holders will also soar to the highest price ever, and in order to solve the artifact holders, the creatures of the entire surface world will do everything they can to achieve this goal.
After all, once the surface world is completely overrun by the Lich, under the rule of the necromancer, all the previous rules will be changed, which is undoubtedly something that no old power wants to see.
There are no normal creatures who want to live under the rule of a necromancer, because that means they will have to choose between becoming a necromancer and an undead creature and be threatened with death at all times.
At the slightest possibility, surface creatures will actively seek an opportunity to defeat the necromancer, and killing the owner of the artifact will undoubtedly be their unifying goal.
