Chapter 1177: Erosion

After noticing Rhodes' appearance, the first to react and respond quickly were those higher-ranking battle dwarves.

Before they go underground, these battle dwarves are the important guardians of the dwarven village, and when the enemy appears, they will be at the forefront of the dwarves.

Rhodes noticed that most of the battle dwarves in the village had the strength of about the fifth order, and a few even reached the sixth order, which was extremely rare for the dwarves who were not very high in growth to become a sixth-order creature.

According to the information provided by Fiat, this dwarven village has a certain reputation in the former Eli, and it is not impossible for such a relatively rare high-level combat dwarf to appear.

Compared to the other dwarves, the equipment on these high-ranking dwarves is completely different, the heavy armor forged from fine iron tightly covers every inch of the body, making these dwarves look even shorter, and if they are not in the same rank, they cannot even move normally after wearing this armor.

These high-ranking dwarves hold a larger warhammer that can easily disrupt regular armor defenses and smash the bodies of enemies by the way.

The existence of these high-level dwarves is exactly the basis for the dwarven village in front of them to dare to migrate underground when the necromancer launches an invasion. In the face of these well-equipped dwarves with anti-magic ability, those ordinary necromancers in the past naturally had no way to defeat them.

It's just that the appearance of the artifact has completely changed all this, and all the previous tactics are difficult to have the desired effect in front of the artifact, even if the dwarves have the heart to resist the enemy in front of them, and even give up their lives for this, it is difficult to have the desired effect.

In the face of the dwarves rushing to this side, Rhodes was not afraid at all, and looked indifferently at these enemies in front of him, but he did not make any moves, and it seemed that he had no idea of resisting at all.

At the same time, a burst of dull footsteps came from behind Rod, and along with the footsteps came an incomparably rich death energy, as well as an aura that disgusted ordinary creatures, and a crisis undoubtedly enveloped the heads of all dwarves.

The sudden change shocked Fiat's heart, and he looked behind him, only to see a group of corpse witches of different shapes gushing out from behind the passage, not at all like those common humanoid corpse witches in his impression, but composed of various animal bones, even among these corpse witches, there was a significant difference in size.

As soon as these corpse witches appeared, they attracted the attention of all living beings, even those battle dwarves, after feeling the death energy contained in the corpse witches, they couldn't help but be cautious, this kind of incomparably powerful undead creatures, battle dwarves had never seen before.

These corpse witches who appeared here naturally have an inseparable relationship with Rod, and during the time that Rod's entry into the passage, the Corpse Witch King, who had arrived with Rod, completed the transformation of these corpse witches.

In addition to the creatures from the forest, the corpses used for transformation are more animal carcasses left behind by the dwarves in the village after hunting during their daily lives.

The corpses of these animals were buried at the bottom of the original site of the village, and the death energy emitted by them had already attracted Rod's attention, and under Rod's instructions, the Corpse Witch King had prioritized the transformation of the corpses of these creatures.

After completing the transformation, through the gesture of the Ghost King's cloak, these transformed corpse witches traveled all the way to Rhode's location through the passage at the rift, and the corpse witch king in the rear followed.

Due to the underground space, the dwarves did not expect the enemy to be able to discover this place, and the fortifications were not well prepared, except for the battle dwarves in front of him, in Rhodes' opinion, there was nothing worth caring about among these dwarves.

Seeing that the dwarf didn't know what to do with the corpse witch in front of him for a while, Rhodes naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and at his signal, the corpse witch in the rear immediately released the cloud of death.

The object of the cloud of death is not the dwarf who confronts him in front of him, but the dwarf's room in the underground space.

The cloud of death that spread out can only be described as pervasive, and for a while, the cloud of death quickly penetrated into the room, absorbing the death energy released when the creature died, and the cloud of death became more dense, far from dissipating.

The door to the room immersed in the cloud of death will soon open, but it is not the dwarves who have come out of it, but the shorter corpse witches.

Compared to the cloud of death released by the dwarves, what really frightened the dwarves was the number of corpse witches, and the companions who once lived together became terrifying undead creatures in such a short period of time, constantly taking the lives of other dwarves, turning other dwarves into corpse witch form, at this moment, ordinary dwarves can no longer maintain their original sanity.

The surging number of corpse witches has easily broken through the defense line belonging to the dwarves, and continues to spread to the depths of the underground space, thinking that it will not be long before all the dwarves here will turn into unsane corpse witches.

As for the original battle dwarves, they also tried to charge Rhodes, and their basic attributes can even ignore the cloud of death released by ordinary corpse witches, unless a large number of corpse witches are released together, the superposition effect of the cloud of death can erode it.

It's just that the dwarves' resistance to spells is not worth mentioning in front of the death cloud released by Rod, and Rhodes only secretly added his own death cloud to the death cloud released by the corpse witch, and those battle dwarves can no longer make any movement.

Under Rod's orders, when death continued to spread deep underground, the ghost dragon located above the ground had already risen into the air, and patrolled the area, not letting go of any fish that slipped through the net.

The dwarves left below the ground will undoubtedly be completely swallowed by the cloud of death, and the space above the ground is guarded by ghost dragons, except for space spells, Rhodes can't think of any other way for these dwarves to survive.

In the face of Rhodes at this time, these dwarves were completely unable to make any effective resistance, and were easily transformed into undead creatures.

Just as Rod was counting the number of new corpse witches, Fiat on the side made a certain discovery, so he gestured to Rhodes, and followed the surrounding corpse witches, moving quickly towards the depths of the ground.

After noticing Fiat's actions, Rhodes seemed to sense something, and did not mean to stop him, and used the artifact to order the corpse witch not to attack the elven lord, and at the same time not to block any of his actions, allowing Fiat to move forward deep underground.
