Between necromancers, it is rare to join forces.

In the middle of a battle, if a necromancer kills another necromancer first, he can directly control all the low-level undead creatures controlled by the dead necromancer, and the medium- and high-level undead creatures need to be subdued again.

Therefore, the relationship between necromancers is generally hostile. Even if the war starts, the necromancers are mostly fighting on their own, collecting intelligence alone, and acting alone after receiving the mission. On the battlefield, there are countless cases of necromancers framing each other.

Even if one necromancer takes the initiative to ask to join forces, the rest of the necromancers will not believe it, but will be suspicious and promise on the surface, and when the time comes, they will still frame each other, and there will be no difference because they agree to join forces.

After all, the necromancers from the academy are driven by profit, and they will act in the best way to achieve the greatest benefit, and everything else is of little importance to them.

Basically, all the necromancers in Diane are waiting for the war to come, and all necromancers who want to profit will join the war, regardless of which side they are fighting against.

Because of this, under the frantic attack of the necromancer, not long after the war began, the entire frontier of Eli fell. However, due to the lack of a unified command of the necromancer, coupled with the fierce internal struggle, the high-level creatures of Eri were directly defeated after making a move.

After a war, although a large number of necromancers will die, there are also many necromancers who stand out from the necromancers through the gains in the war.

Rhodes knew that if he hadn't appeared at this time, judging from the concentration of death energy that had permeated the town, the town would be destroyed before the war began, and all the townspeople would be transformed into undead creatures.

At this time, Rhodes, who was standing outside the mansion, seemed to notice something and looked into the mansion.

In Rod's sight, the original guard walked out of the mansion, and a person dressed as a butler was beside him, respectfully inviting Rhodes into the mansion.

Seeing this, Rhodes didn't say much, and followed the butler directly into the mansion in the rear.

Before the mage mastered the second-order magic [Eye of Perspective], there was no way to instantly know the strength of the enemy.

In many cases, it is necessary to gather information on the strength of the enemy, whether it is through purchase or observation through reconnaissance. If you choose to observe on your own, it is difficult to know exactly the strength of the opponent before the official fight, and you can only judge by the situation shown by the opponent.

When the mayor learns of the arrival of two foreign necromancers, he responds and chooses to invite Rhodes into the mansion.

This kind of visit from Rhodes is actually difficult for the mayor to refuse. If the mayor chooses to refuse the visit of the necromancer outright and lock Rhodes outside the mansion, it will be a sign of fear.

There are not many words to say between necromancers, and if they find that the other party's strength is not comparable to their own, they will not show any mercy.

Therefore, the mayor of the town chose to bring Rhodes in. This way of retreating into advancing returned the fear of the unknown to Rhodes. Instead, Rhodes needs to consider whether there is any danger inside the mansion and whether the mayor will ambush him in it.

However, Rod made up his mind to come to the test, so naturally he would not hesitate at this time, and directly followed the housekeeper into it.

As he walked along with the butler, thinking about the mayor's posture of inviting him in, Rhodes knew that the mayor shouldn't be so easy to deal with. This time the temptation is likely not to achieve the desired effect.

Rhodes stayed in the town for a very short time, and his observation of the town was only through his own perspective, without collecting specific information, even so, through the addition of the observation effect brought by the intermediate reconnaissance technique, Rhodes also saw a lot of things.

While passing through the town, Rhodes made a special observation that due to the small size of the town and the sparse population, there was no freelance chamber of commerce in the town, not even a thieves' guild.

In the town, the number of professionals is even more pitiful, from the time Rhodes entered the town to the present, the only professionals he has seen are the guards at the door of the mayor's mansion and the butler who leads the way.

Rhodes focused on their posture as they walked and how they reacted when he saw himself. The butler who led the way in front was okay, his years of experience allowed him to move forward without any abnormality, as if he was just guiding the way for an ordinary person, but the guards were completely different.

Whether it was the reaction of the guards when they saw him at the beginning, or the trembling body during the march at this time, Rod had a full view.

Rhodes knew that if the squire had been trained enough and had some combat experience, he wouldn't behave like this. The current appearance of the guard exposes the fact that he is a low-level professional, which is far inferior to the previous merchant group guard.

Combining all these observations, Rhodes can roughly know what level of strength the mayor is at.

At this time, there is not much time left before the start of the war, and in order to achieve enough gains in the war, in addition to knowing the direction of the war, basic strength is also necessary. If you don't have enough basic strength, you will miss many opportunities that you could have seized.

An apprentice-level necromancer, plus a lot of undead creatures, the experience points converted are enough for Rhodes at this time to increase the level of a character. After having a preliminary understanding of the mayor's strength, Rhodes plans to come to the test and look for opportunities at the same time.

In order to be cautious, Rhodes still chose to test first, rather than directly killing the two people in front of him and breaking into the mansion.

Since Rhodes took the initiative to test the mayor, whether the mayor wanted to or not, there would always be flaws in the temptation. Rod, on the other hand, needs to find the best opportunity to make a shot.

In the process of testing, because the mayor belongs to the more passive side, without knowing Rod's strength and intentions, in order to ensure his own safety, the mayor will not attack rashly before Rhodes reveals his flaws.

In case the mayor's strength is completely beyond Rod's expectations, Rod can only let the vampire forcibly hold him for a while and take the opportunity to flee himself.

After all, there is no 100% certainty of victory in every battle. In the course of the battle, anyone can be overturned by a magic scroll when they have achieved an absolute advantage. Before the battle, although you can improve the odds of victory through a series of preparations, the most important thing is to look at the performance in the battle.

For Rod, as long as the odds of winning the battle are more than half of the time, he will choose to shoot.
