Chapter 785: Dark Knight

According to the information provided by Tello before, Rhodes had the impression that there was an extremely powerful vampire race near the Death Wasteland.

At this time, even if he had not yet seen the trace of the city lord Tamik, Rhodes was here and first met an evolved vampire. The emergence of this special situation also made Rhodes realize that perhaps there was a connection between Tamik and the nearby vampire clan.

In the process of traveling, it seemed that he noticed Rod's observation of the guide in front of him, and Tello took the initiative to say to Rod:

"I'm sure you've seen that it's not an ordinary person who is leading the way for us now, but a vampire who is not weak. The city lord we are going to meet, Tamik, is also an undead creature of this race. ”

"Relying on the advantages of his own race, Tammik has recruited a large number of vampires for Lord Stephen for countless years."

"As such a special being, among all the death knights under the control of Lord Stephen, Tamic has a high status, and is deeply respected by Stephen, otherwise he would not be able to become the lord of the city of death."

"I've met and worked with Tammik on previous missions, so I've been very impressed. Perhaps that's why Master Stephen asked me to introduce you to Tamik. ”

took the initiative to tell a lot of information about the city lord Tamik to Rhodes beside him, at this time, Tello seemed to recall something, and then said:

"In addition to recruiting special undead creatures, Tamik is also responsible for training the Dark Knights under Master Stephen, and according to the information I know, this has something to do with Tamik's unique talent."

"If nothing else, Tamik's men should have at their disposal one of the most elite Terror Knights, a reward from Lord Stephen for his unique talent."

These words of Tello undoubtedly attracted Rod's attention completely. What made Rhodes care was not only what Tello said, about the city lord Tamik, but also the terrifying knight mentioned in Tello's words.

In Rod's mind, the Terror Knight was not a low-level undead creature. Whether it is the Dark Knight or the Terror Knight, among all kinds of undead creatures, they are the most special existence.

Except for a few undead creatures transformed by using the corpses of powerful creatures such as bone dragons, or corpse witches who can cast death clouds, which can surpass the Dark Knight in strength, the strength of the Dark Knight has reached the apex of regular undead creatures.

As terrifying knights who have advanced through the Dark Knight and have higher attributes, their strength is naturally more powerful, and even the bone dragon that Rhodes once controlled was far from being the opponent of the Terror Knight when it was just transformed.

Rhodes believed that such an army composed of terror knights, once it fully demonstrated its strength, would probably be able to sweep through the territory of Dia, all the places where no lich existed, similar to the city of sorrow where Rhodes once was, there was no way to face these powerful undead creatures.

However, what Rhodes didn't expect was that such a powerful army of terrifying knights would be rewarded by the Lich Stephen to his death knights at will.

And according to the information that Tello said, Stephen didn't care too much about these death knights who were so powerful that even Rhodes needed to face them. It seems that these terrifying knights, who are powerful and can easily change the internal situation of Deya, are nothing in Stephen's eyes.

Through these messages mentioned in Thero's words, Rod once again felt how powerful Stephen was. After countless years of accumulation, the number of undead creatures controlled by Stephen has exceeded everyone's imagination, and this is only one of the lichs in the territory of Dia.

After learning about the existence of this army of horror knights, Rhodes can understand why Tammik is so famous in the second expansion campaign.

Compared to the lich who was hidden at the end and only let the death knights under his command take action, an existence like Tamik, who fought at the forefront, was more likely to be noticed by players at the time, especially since Tammik also controlled a powerful army of terror knights.

In Rod's impression, it is not a simple matter to complete the creation of a dark knight or a horror knight.

In order to achieve this, in addition to the strict requirements for the necromancer's own transformation skills, more importantly, there are great restrictions on the materials required for transformation.

The corpses left behind by the death of low-rank creatures naturally cannot be used for the transformation of Dark Knights, and in order to achieve this, it is necessary to use corpses left by professionals above the official rank.

And among them, which belongs to the territory of Erathia, the corpses of those knights themselves are the best, and they can achieve the best transformation effect.

The corpse of a high-level knight has been transformed by a necromancer to become a powerful horror knight, and those who are not at a good level, even if they can transform the corpse of a high-level knight, most of what they get are only some high-ranking walking corpses, not real horror knights.

Knights who voluntarily pledge allegiance to the necromancer due in part to a change in philosophy can also be called a Dark Knight, but they don't have the characteristics of the undead creature of the same name.

Because of this, there is a unique way of transforming the undead among Diya. Under the control of the necromancer, he can directly transform knights who are loyal to him into dark knights.

When this transformation is completed, the resulting Dark Knight is more focused on the existence of the Death Knight in terms of characteristics, and while retaining some of the memories, it can continue to improve its own strength.

In the eyes of many necromancers, this special transformation method was itself studied by the lich, and only the existence of the lich would continue to make such attempts.

Unlike other undead creatures, the Dark Knight's soul fire is not found in their heads, but in their chests.

The abnormality of the soul fire also gave the Dark Knight some special abilities. In the course of the battle, even if the Dark Knight is decapitated, he will not suffer too much damage, and even his overall strength will not be weakened too much, and he can continue to fight as a headless horseman until the battle is truly decided.
