Seeing that his subordinates were attacked by undead creatures, the knight immediately locked on Rhodes on the side.

The knight noticed that even as he watched his men being attacked, Rod's expression did not change, as if he had died and was not something worthy of his attention.

The knight had already guessed Rod's identity as a necromancer, but he didn't dare to attack.

In the knight's ears, there was a rapid scream, which was made by his men before they died. However, even after feeling all this deeply, when looking at Rhodes in front of him, the knight still did not have the courage to step forward and attack.

Thinking back to this real mission, the knight had a rough idea of why the necromancer was here and attacked his men.

Looking at Rod's posture and recalling the rumors about necromancers in Bracada, the knight did not dare to launch a surprise attack directly on Rod, so he could only deal with the surrounding undead creatures first.

The knight made a gesture to the rear, and suddenly, the archers with strong crossbows in the team noticed this, and immediately followed the knight's command and fired the crossbow arrows at Rod's position.

Just as the crossbow bolts were about to hit Rod, a dark green barrier appeared in front of Rod, blocking all these bolts.

The bolt struck the barrier, and with a bang, it made small cracks in the barrier before falling to the ground.

The Hercules shield that Rhodes displayed blocked all the crossbow arrows that were fired at him and Rowling.

Crossbow bolts are widely used in Erathia, but in other regions, with the exception of large thieves' guilds and a few special merchant groups, there are few well-made crossbows.

Rhodes noticed that it was this kind of military crossbow that these shooters were holding. Only the crossbow arrows shot by the strong crossbow can knock the Hercules shield into some cracks.

As a third-order magic, in addition to being able to limit a lot of large enemies, the Hercules shield can also be used as a barrier against attacks, and if it is an ordinary crossbow arrow, it cannot cause any damage to the Hercules shield at all.

After noticing the Hercules shield that Rhodes had unleashed, since he had seen this spell many times on the battlefield before and was deeply aware of the characteristics of this spell, the knight also gave up his plan to attack Rhodes and began to help his subordinates deal with the undead creatures that existed around him.

The knight's approach also met Rhodes' expectations.

When fighting a necromancer, especially a high-level necromancer, if there is no way to rush to his side and kill him in time, the only way to find a chance to win is to destroy the undead creatures around him.

In addition to being able to control undead creatures, necromancers themselves have a variety of powerful spells. Even if they destroy all the undead creatures around them, they will have to fight a necromancer of unknown strength.

For these warriors, a high-level necromancer is even more threatening than the average orthodox mage.

In Bracada, if a powerful necromancer appears, simply report the necromancer's whereabouts to the overseer of the Magic Guild, and the Magic Guild will dispatch special personnel to deal with the necromancer.

However, in this case, this knight did not have much choice, because he did not expect the appearance of the necromancer in advance, the enemy he expected was only the village chief here, and the battle that he thought could be easily solved has evolved into what it is now.

Feeling the strength of this necromancer, a trace of bad feelings vaguely flashed in this knight's heart, if he retreated immediately, it might not be too late.

However, when these manpower has been lost, nothing has been clarified, and if you just retreat like this, you will inevitably be punished a lot.

Thinking of this, the knight dismissed his plan to retreat, and instead concentrated on helping his subordinates clean up the undead creatures that appeared around them.

When the knight helped his subordinates kill the undead creatures, in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, Rhodes did not wait, and directly raised his hand and released an extremely thick cloud of death.

The cloud of death spread across the battlefield in an instant, and for a moment, the flesh and blood on the bodies of these creatures in the field quickly dissipated, and a large number of skeletons appeared on the ground.

But then, the skeletons stood up again, still holding their weapons in their hands, and began to attack creatures that were not affected by the cloud of death.

In the army, there are several mages, but they are not of high rank. At this point, the mages teamed up to cast spells in an attempt to disperse the cloud of death, but to no avail.

In this army, in addition to the soldiers who can fight, there are also many ordinary creatures, most of them are half-orc slaves chained to iron chains, in addition, there are many human slaves.

Without Rhodes, when the army took over the mines, the slaves would have played their part and worked in the mines.

Originally, according to Rod's idea, he would not kill the orc slaves among them, but under the influence of the cloud of death, these slaves were the first to die in the chaos.

After being transformed by the Mother of the Dead, the slaves rose back to their feet and attacked the creatures around them in a more powerful manner.

After finally discovering this, a trace of invincible thoughts flashed in the knight's heart about the necromancer who appeared.

Even though the knight's own strength is extremely strong and can quickly kill the surrounding undead creatures, in the case of the successive deaths of his subordinates, the surrounding undead creatures gather more and more, and the knight alone is no longer able to return to the sky.

Looking at the men around him who had begun to flee, the knight finally realized that he could not change all this.

During the battle, the necromancer in the rear didn't even cast many spells, and relied on the advantage of raiding and transforming undead creatures to completely defeat himself.

At this time, the knight did not dwell too much here, and even though he was surrounded by undead creatures, he did not have any fear, and instead rode his horse and rushed towards the rear.

Sitting on the horse, the knight waved the weapons in his hands one after another, and the undead creatures around him fell one by one. From this group of undead creatures, the knight fought his way out of the bloody path, wanting to leave quickly.

At this moment, the horse, which had been galloping, seemed to have stepped on something, and one of the horse's legs was directly entangled in the vine and could not move.

Due to the inertia of the whole body, combined with the previous high-speed charge, the horse fell directly to the right front, and at the same time threw the knight on it to the ground.
