Chapter 213: Return to the City of Sorrows
According to the map, the location of the City of Sorrow should be not far northwest of the City of the Wind. The distance between the two towns is not that far relative to the overall distance within Diya.
After a while, Rhodes came to the top of a town under the high-speed flight of the ghost dragon, and after a little observation, Rhodes confirmed that this was the city of sorrow based on his first experience.
Although the city of sorrow is below, Rhodes chooses to confirm the information first.
Rhodes still kept the ghost dragon at a certain height, and at the same time let the ghost dragon collect the death energy on his body, in this case, because the entire sky was blocked by the dark canopy, the ghost dragon was not discovered by the people in the city.
Rhodes' purpose in doing this was precisely to observe the situation in the City of Sorrow at this time, and to judge whether Eli's counterattack had arrived.
Due to the dense dark canopy beside him, Rhodes' vision was almost completely obscured, and as the ghost dragon loomed in the dark canopy, Rhodes still saw the situation in the city clearly.
At this time, with Rod's perception of the situation in the city, Rod's face was not good-looking.
In Rod's perception, the city of sorrow below was shrouded in a rich death energy, which had persisted for a long time, and in terms of purity, it was already very similar to what he had released in front of Thero.
After realizing this, Rhodes knew that at this time, there should be an existence in the City of Sorrows who mastered epic spiritualism, but he didn't know if it was a sixth-order lich or a hero-level necromancer.
Rhodes also observed that just in front of the City of Sorrows, there were traces of a large number of death clouds after the bombardment, and in that direction, Rhodes also saw many broken dead wood.
In Rod's sight, most of the deadwood had human-like hands and feet, and this creature Rhodes had seen on the battlefield in Erry, and it was the Deadwood Guard.
Among them, the most conspicuous is a severed tree man's body, this tree man's body is extremely large, but at this time it has been split in half, in Rod's sight, half of this tree man's body fell on the periphery of the city of sorrow, half of his body smashed into the back of the city wall of the city of sorrow, and extended a lot of distance towards it.
The cracks on the treeman's body are burnt black, and the outer skin has changed from its original toughness to being extremely easy to break.
Apparently, the Treant was violently corroded by the Cloud of Death during his lifetime, and eventually fell under siege from the rest of the undead creatures, causing the Treant to split in two.
The Treant was dead, but Rhodes could still imagine the power it once showed.
The strength of this Treant was clearly superior to the ordinary Deadwood Guardian that Rhodes had met before, and judging by its strength, it should belong to the stronger Deadwood Warrior. Even so, the Deadwood warrior died under the onslaught of the necromancer.
As for the corpses of other Eri creatures, Rhodes didn't see them, only sporadic stumps and severed arms existed on the battlefield.
For necromancers, except for the corpses of the hard-to-use Deadwood Guards, the rest of the corpses have a lot of uses, so naturally they will not be left on the battlefield like this, especially in the city of sorrow where a large number of necromancers exist.
In Rod's sight, many low-level necromancers were leading their undead creatures to deal with the corpses of these deadwood warriors around them, slowly chopping them into small wooden pieces, or using spatial rings, or letting the undead creatures under their hands carry them, and disposing of the corpses of these deadwood warriors.
In the process of disposing of the corpse of the Deadwood Guard, the City of Sorrow directly issued it to the ordinary apprentices who survived in the form of a task, and this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Rod.
Rhodes was fully aware that the battle of the City of Sorrow against Eli's counterattack was now completely over, and as he could see, the City of Screaming successfully repelled Eli's counterattack, and Eli's army retreated after leaving behind a large number of corpses.
Rhodes took a closer look, and based on the extent of the corpses of the deadwood warriors below, the battle should have ended not long ago, and he didn't arrive in the middle of the battle.
Based on the rich death energy remaining on the battlefield, Rhodes judged that if the ghost dragon did not fly to the City of Yin Wind, but came directly to the City of Sorrow during the first flight, then in this case, the time of his arrival in the City of Sorrow should be the same as the time of the counterattack of Eri's army.
But at this point, Rod had clearly missed this opportunity, and due to the deviation that occurred during the flight, Rod also had no choice. At this point, Rhodes did not blame the ghost dragon for his mistakes, but quickly sorted out the situation in front of him and tried to find the next step.
After thinking about it for a while, Rhodes was still ready to enter the city first to inquire about the situation.
Rhodes judged that there was likely to be a powerful hero in the current City of Sorrows, and in this case, because it was not clear about the relationship between this hero and the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, Rhodes could not directly attack the Freelance Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, before the operation, Rhodes needs to collect intelligence in the city and exchange all the large amount of gold he has for spells suitable for his own use.
Rhodes knew that according to his current concentration of death energy, he only needed to obtain the casting method of the cloud of death to greatly increase his strength.
Since the Cloud of Death is transformed by the concentration of death energy it can release, in this case, as long as the caster's spiritualism level is high enough, the Cloud of Death can gain a significant bonus.
This bonus is reflected in the degree of crushing of other necromancers, for other necromancers, as long as the level of death energy is too low, then under the corrosion of the high concentration of death clouds, they will die quickly.
But on the contrary, if another necromancer's spiritualism level is extremely high, then it is difficult for the low-level Death Cloud to have any effect on it, and even be able to directly absorb the low-level Death Cloud and convert it into its own mana.
This point was embodied on the battlefield when Rhodes had just obtained the legendary spiritualism, and at that time, Rhodes absorbed the cloud of death released by the senior necromancer who led the camp.
Rhodes knew that the Cloud of Death he released would be greatly enhanced due to his legendary spiritualism, so he should go to the Magic Guild of the Crow Academy to learn the Cloud of Death before the operation began.
