Chapter 121: The Pursuit III
Under the influence of the black clouds, the earth seemed to be clouded, and the original light disappeared, leaving only darkness.
Discovering this situation, the surrounding elves did not panic in any way, but just closed their formations while continuing to chase Rhodes in front.
While being pursued by the elves in the rear, Rhodes noticed something unusual. Since the distance between the two parties is not too far, according to the casting range shown by the court mage before, it should be easy to affect himself, but in the process of this chase, Rhodes has not been affected by magic.
Rhodes knew that the court mage was most likely not chasing him. Thinking of the court mage's previous efforts to protect the seriously injured Ive, and even at the expense of directly exposing his own aura, Rhodes had already guessed why the court mage did not choose to track him.
According to Rod's understanding of healing spells, in addition to the simplest healing, other high-level healing spells need to be guided by a mage in order to maximize the effect of the spell.
At this time, Rod realized that in this mission, he left a huge hidden danger, that is, the hero Eve.
Under the influence of the court mage's spell, Iver is likely to be successfully healed. Thinking of the resentment that Iver had shown towards himself and his abilities as a hero, Rhodes knew that he might have left behind a formidable enemy.
The strength of heroes is more reflected in their growth, and even if they have just become heroes, Iver already has the ability to kill themselves in close quarters, and when he reaches a higher rank, he may become a fierce opponent.
Whether it is during the game in his previous life or now, Rhodes has seen a lot of heroes, but watching the hero awaken in front of his eyes, and it can be said that he single-handedly contributed to it, Rod is still experiencing it for the first time.
Thinking of Eve, who became a hero, and himself must be endless, and many plans in the future may be blocked by Ive's existence, Rod only felt a headache.
At this time, even though he knew that the court mage was probably not in the team chasing behind, Rhodes still had no intention of fighting back.
Rod didn't feel any threat from the ranks at the rear, but because of that, Rod was more cautious. There is no sense of danger, not because of his own strength, but because of the perception brought by his reconnaissance skills, which is suppressed by the elves in the rear team.
In the process, the black clouds have covered the surroundings, and the line of sight has become useless. Even so, the elves that tracked from the rear still followed Rhodes accurately.
In order to cope with the darkness in front of them, the elves in the rear made simple torches. Even so, due to the distance, the fire could not reach Rhodes' position.
Through the news from the vampires, Rhodes learned that whenever he turned around, one of the elves in the group behind him would be the first to adjust to his movements, leading the rest of the elves to track him.
Perhaps in order to guide the surrounding elves more clearly, this elf was the only one in the rear team holding a torch.
Knowing this, Rhodes knew that there was probably only one elf in the team who had the means to track him, and if he wanted to escape safely, he would have to find a way to deal with this elf.
Realizing this, Rhodes immediately made a decision.
Instead of slowing down his movements, Rhodes took control of his centaur and began to quickly change his position.
In this formation, the sound of horses' hooves was constantly heard, and it was obviously extremely difficult for the elves to hear the sound of horses' hooves from the centaurs in front of them in such a chaotic situation.
Due to the loss of vision and the desire to track Rhodes, the rest of the elves can only keep an eye on the movements of the elven lieutenant.
Therefore, under Rod's successive turns, except for the elf adjutant who could keep up with Rhodes for the first time, the rest of the elves could only follow behind the elf adjutant.
After a few successions, the elven lieutenant had already distanced himself from the ordinary elves for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, the elven lieutenant would adjust his position so that the surrounding elves could follow him, but at this time, the necromancer who destroyed a village was ahead, and the elven lieutenant did not intend to slow down the horse, but intended to immediately catch up and kill it with his own hands.
As the formation spread out, the horses under the elven lieutenant were able to catch up with Rhodes more easily.
After continuing to run wildly into the darkness for a while, the elven lieutenant was almost able to get close to Rhodes' rear.
At this time, the elven lieutenant held the torch in one hand and the iron sword in the other, and the moment Rhodes reached the attack range, he immediately stabbed towards Rhodes with a sword.
At this moment, Rhodes launched the attack first.
As the centaur slowed down, the bat on Rod's shoulder immediately leaped backwards, baring its sharp fangs at the elven lieutenant in front of him.
The elven lieutenant immediately sensed the threat from the front, and stabbed at the bat with a sword, but it stabbed into the air. At this moment, the bats turned into a black room, and from the black fog swooped out of the small but extremely numerous bats.
In this regard, the elven lieutenant did not have any fear, but waved the weapon in his hand impenetrable, killing all the bats that pounced on him.
As he was moving at high speed, the elven lieutenant, who was sitting on his horse, left the bats around him behind, and the distance was closer to Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes also held the iron sword in his hand, and because Rhodes took the initiative to slow down the centaur, the elf lieutenant had already come to Rod's rear and stabbed Rhodes with a sword.
An iron shield appeared in Rhodes' hand, and the shield style was wide, blocking the elven lieutenant's stabbing blow. Because he was sitting on a horse and running wildly, it was difficult for the elven lieutenant to exert his strength.
Rhodes asked the centaur to turn his body slightly, and suddenly, the elven lieutenant came to the same position as Rod, and the two were riding their horses, galloping in the same direction.
The torch in the elven lieutenant's hand had long since been thrown aside, and in the darkness, the two fought on horseback.
In the darkness, the sound of weapons colliding came one after another.
Because the shield that Rhodes was holding in his hand was facing the direction of the elven lieutenant. With this shield, Rhodes was able to block the elven lieutenant's attacks well.
The successive attacks were blocked by the shield in front of him, coupled with the hatred for the necromancer, the elf lieutenant's heart began to be impatient, and the movements in his hands also increased.
Just as the elven lieutenant swung out his sword, but was blocked by the shield, the elven lieutenant found that a force came from his hand, and his sword-wielding hand was being grabbed by the other arm at this time.
The elven lieutenant realized the problem instantly, but it was too late at this time, and while the centaur in front of him grabbed the elven lieutenant, Rhodes swung his sword and slashed the elven lieutenant off his horse.
