Chapter 1063: Barrier
With the flight of the ghost dragon, Rhodes was rapidly approaching the town, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes also saw all the scenes below.
Before Rhodes arrived, the necromancers below launched another attack on the town, and even though the previous battles ended in failure, they failed to make the necromancer's command change their plans.
Surrounded by an incomparably rich energy of death, countless corpse witches surrounded the town in front of him, which was the result of the necromancer's best efforts to transform during this time, and the number of corpse witches even exceeded the total number of creatures in the city.
After obtaining the Necro Queen, who can transform all regular creatures into necrophils, the necromancers' enthusiasm for the battle is beyond Rhodes' imagination, and even without Rhodes' presence, these necromancers will go to great lengths to create undead creatures just to get more necrophils.
The effect from the artifact allowed Rod to sense the state of all the corpses in the field, and if Rod wanted to, he could instantly control all the corpses, but he obviously wouldn't do that.
The ability of the Cloak of the Ghost King to control all the undead creatures that spawn them will not be shown until the last moment, and once this situation is known to other creatures, not to mention the lich in Erathia, even ordinary necromancers will lose their enthusiasm for transforming into corpse witches.
Due to Rod's control of the flight altitude, coupled with the concealment ability attached to the ghost dragon's netherworld energy, and the chaotic situation on the battlefield, until now, no creature has been able to discover the existence of the ghost dragon, which is naturally extremely beneficial to Rod.
Instead of immediately joining the battlefield, Rhodes chose to observe the situation from above to understand everything in the field.
Rhodes noticed that among the many necromancers, the first one, whom he had met in the underground chamber not long ago, was the necromancer named Ori who was the first to ask him a question.
When the centaur leader left, Ori, who controlled many of the corpse witches, became the commander of these necromancers.
At this time, Ori's face was not good, and in the face of the extremely special Igny City, the many corpse witches led by the necromancer could not have the desired effect at this moment, but were suppressed by the elemental creatures in the city.
Even if the corpse witch has an absolute advantage in numbers, it is unable to achieve further results, which is also the reason why Ao Rui is unwilling.
The root cause of all this is that the huge white barrier that shrouds Igny has severely weakened the effect of the Cloud of Death, making it impossible for the originally large number of corpse witches to use any advantages.
From the barrier, Ori could feel a sense of holiness, just like the effect of the undead slayer's spell, but the undead slayer actively purified all the death energy within its range, and the white barrier in front of him was only aimed at the existence of the death cloud.
Unable to rely on the number of corpse witches to stack the damage of the cloud of death to an unstoppable point, in the face of elemental creatures who are extremely good at spells, it is difficult for these necromancers in front of them to have any advantage.
Prior to this, Ori thought that there was a problem with the command of the centaur leader, which caused the power of the corpse witch to disperse, so that he could not capture Igni, until he led the other necromancers to attack Igni, he realized that all this had nothing to do with the command, and the root of the problem was those corpse witches.
Rhodes, who was above the ghost dragon, saw everything below in his eyes, and naturally found the white barrier that shrouded Igney.
Seeing all the changes on the battlefield in his eyes, recalling the news that the centaur leader fed back to him before coming here, Rhodes also roughly guessed the effect of the white barrier in front of him.
Rhodes realized that this white barrier, the restraint of the cloud of death, was mainly reflected in the superposition of the cloud of destruction.
Under the effect of the white barrier, the death cloud cast by a large number of corpse witches can only cause the most basic effect, only the enveloping range is expanded, and the damage is equivalent to the death cloud cast by a corpse witch, so naturally it is impossible to defeat the elemental creatures in front of them.
If it weren't for Rod's arrival, relying on his necromancers alone, they would have to wait until they wanted to capture the town in front of them.
Through the observation of the situation, Rhodes even saw that the water elementals and fire elementals, who had always been at odds, put aside their past grievances, and fought together at this moment against the necromancers who came to attack.
As the elemental creatures inside the barrier cast a variety of spells, the necromancers who surrounded Igni gradually fell to the disadvantage, and the corpse witches they transformed were also continuously lost in the process.
Having identified the problem, Rhodes naturally needed to find a way to solve the situation.
In Rhodes's opinion, it is not difficult to defeat these elemental creatures in front of him, and what he really needs to care about is the cause of the white barrier, to see what spell or special treasure makes this special barrier form.
In this battle, the White Barrier has shown restraint against the Corpse Witch, and if the method of generating the White Barrier spreads, it will undoubtedly be extremely disadvantageous for the entire battle.
Through his perception of the magical element, Rhodes quickly locked his gaze to the very center of the town, where in Rhodes' perception was the source of the white barrier.
On the battlefield below, the battle for ordinary necromancers continued, but it was far less intense than it had been.
In the face of these elemental creatures with powerful spell-casting abilities, even if they die, they can't rely on the corpse witch king to transform into corpse witches, necromancers do not show much interest, in their opinion, instead of fighting these elemental creatures, it is better to focus on those ordinary creatures, so as to get more corpse witches.
If it weren't for the order to attack Igni, these necromancers wouldn't even glance at the elemental creatures in them.
When the ability of the corpse witch is severely restrained, and a large number of undead creatures under his command are killed, these necromancers are unwilling to continue to lose meaninglessly, and disobedience to orders often occurs.
Although they have a commanding existence, these necromancers still tend to fight on their own in essence, and when the situation is at a disadvantage and cannot bring the harvest of the undead creatures, it is these necromancers who are the first to have problems.
After dispelling the necromancer's attacking intentions, the elemental creatures did not take advantage of the victory, but simply held the barrier firmly and did not let the necromancer get closer.
Looking at everything below, Rhodes knew it was time to make his own move.
