Chapter 1014 The Puppet II
Even Rhodes had to consider the meaning of Phoenix's words.
Sandru, who held an artifact in his previous life, was able to rely on his own strength to deal with the siege of many legendary creatures, and in terms of spell-casting ability, Sandru did not look like a lich, but like a real legendary mage.
For Rhodes at this time, relying on the blessing of two artifacts, it is extremely difficult to face an ordinary legendary mage, and once the number of legendary creatures increases, Rhodes has no suitable means to deal with it.
The existence of the artifact has a crucial impact on this battle, and Rhodes needs to try to avoid the possibility of the artifact being lost. Elsa's initial words also mentioned this situation, but it didn't make Rhodes pay attention to it.
Because of this, Rhodes also had to think about the proposal to build a target mentioned in Phoenix's discourse, to establish a target, and more intuitively, to support the puppet.
Not only Rhodes, but also the other lichs in the field were also attracted by Phoenix's suggestion, and they also understood what kind of effect such a deceptive method would have in the future battles.
None of the lichs objected to Phoenix's suggestion, and from the attitude of the lich, Rhodes felt a kind of acquiescence, not even the Ace he mentioned.
At this time, Ace was looking at Rhodes, wanting to see what decision he would make.
As if realizing something, Rhodes looked back at Phoenix, who was not far away, and knew that Phoenix's mention of Ace in his words might not be an accident.
According to Aisray's strength, calling him the holder of an artifact will naturally not arouse the doubts of other creatures, and such a legendary lich, with his long-accumulated strength, is enough to deal with the attack of any legendary creature.
However, if Aceray is chosen as a target on the bright side, Rod himself will be in an extremely awkward position.
After all, Aceray's strength is too strong, and the legends about her can even trace back to the heyday of the mage god, when she mastered the supreme spell of reincarnation and rebirth, and even the lich at this time needed to use the honorific title of Mother Earth when calling her name.
In Rod's view, if she chooses Acery, what she has become is not just a target, relying on the strength she has, she can become the real leader of this battle, and finally make the situation completely out of control.
At this time, Aceray may still support Rod's attitude, but Rod has to worry that in this case, once the time is ripe, Aceray will lead many lichs to seize the artifact in his hand, so as to get himself out.
Even for the sake of the battle, Aisray certainly didn't want to bear the threat of those legendary creatures in vain, and what price could Rhodes pay to meet Aeryry's needs?
The necromancer who chooses the weaker strength does not have this worry, even if the necromancer has the intention of snatching the artifact, his strength will not allow him to do so, and he can only obediently become a puppet controlled by the lich.
Rod realized that Phoenix dared to make such a suggestion, perhaps in his mind, he had already guessed what choice he would make.
Compared to any of the Liches in the field, Phoenix is undoubtedly the better choice.
According to the trajectory of the expansion in the previous life, Phoenix did become a puppet controlled by the lich, and made a big difference in the second expansion.
Recognized by many lich artifact holders, Phoenix does not need to make a move, and can have a very high status in the hearts of all necromancers, even more than the lich itself.
If it was just a lich admitting it, ordinary necromancers might not believe it, just if he was a puppet of the lich, just like the royal family in Diya, but when all the lichs in Diya's territory said so unanimously, and only he was the only one to follow, ordinary necromancers had to believe it, and there were no doubts in their hearts.
This is the power that the lich has accumulated under his long rule over Deya, and the necromancer does not dare to question the lich's decision-making.
With the blessing of the Lich's might and Phoenix's own abilities, it's no wonder that he was able to become the king of Diya in the second expansion of his previous life, even if Sandru's presence finally appeared in the eyes of all creatures.
"In that case, then choose the latter, I wonder what the lich thinks?"
There was silence in the room, and no lich objected to this.
Stephen on the side took the initiative to say: "It is appropriate to choose the necromancer to become a puppet, the necromancer's low strength is just convenient for our control." I'm sure you don't want to see one Lich become a target for other creatures, only to end up being dominated by one family. ”
As Stephen's words fell, a trembling joy appeared on Phoenix's face, dark pus dripping from his face, but he didn't care, he realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for for had finally arrived.
However, the next moment, the joy on Phoenix's face was completely frozen, and in his sight, accompanied by a sense of crisis that sent chills down his spine, a violent lightning bolt was shooting towards him.
Before he could make any excuses, Phoenix hurriedly cast a teleportation to flee to the side.
Just as his figure appeared, and he was about to say something, a lightning bolt happened to pass through here, and Phoenix had just appeared here, as if he deliberately used his body to accept this lightning, and was directly hit by it.
With a violent flash of white light, Phoenix's charred figure slammed into a pile of dry bones, and was immediately buried deeply, no longer allowing any breath to come out.
On the side, Rhodes put away the Titan Arrow in his hand again.
With just two swings of the weapon in his hand, he released two spells that were comparable to fifth-order magic, and the scene in front of him was naturally seen by all the lichs.
If before that, when Nags was tempting, due to the obscuration of the black fog, the lich in the field, although they sensed the appearance of the spell, did not see the specific process, and they did not know how Rhodes cast the spell to repel Naggs, as well as the power of the artifact.
At this time, Rod's move also made the lich in the field deeply understand that the unique power of the artifact belonged to the artifact, and the assessment of Rod's strength couldn't help but change.
Before Rhodes waved the weapon in his hand, there was no lich, and he sensed the condensation of the magic element, and the time for the spell to take shape was extremely short, and there was almost no way to prevent it except to rely on perception to predict the coming danger.
