CHAPTER XII
Quickly outside the carriage, the second wave of arrows that Rhodes had expected did not arrive.
The sound of horses' hooves was very distinct. At this time, in the surrounding trees, a large number of centaurs rushed towards the position where Rhodes was.
Around the carriage, the original undead creatures did not suffer much damage from the attack of the rain of arrows, and due to the relationship between the ghost physique, as long as the soul fire in the head was protected, the arrows hitting other parts did not cause much damage to them.
The ghost snaps the arrow that pierces it and begins to face the enemies around it.
The vampire followed Rhodes and came out of the carriage, ready to fight the centaurs with the ghost.
As the enemy drew closer, Rhodes quickly looked around for some information.
At the forefront of the group of centaurs was a masked centaur, and due to the high speed of movement, it was difficult for Rhodes to see the pattern on the mask.
Rhodes didn't know when these enemies around him surrounded him. It stands to reason that the centaurs had been following him for quite some time, but Rhodes didn't feel anything unusual until the first rain of arrows hit.
All the while, Rhodes was able to sense danger one step ahead, and a large part of it was due to the special skill Scouting.
After upgrading the Reconnaissance Technique to the Intermediate level, the perception improvement attached to the Reconnaissance Technique allowed Rhodes to predict many dangerous situations in advance.
What happened at this time undoubtedly made Rhodes understand that these centaurs in front of him should have a high level of reconnaissance skills, so that they could suppress their perception and not let themselves detect any anomalies.
At this time, the centaur army had already rushed around Rhodes, and the undead creatures on the side immediately met it.
Following the moonlight in the surrounding woods, Rhodes could clearly see the weapon in the centaur's hand. Perhaps for the sake of portability, these centaurs were not armed with spears and spears that were useful for assault, but rather ordinary swords.
With the power of the charge, the centaurs struck from both sides of the carriage, killing many ghosts in an instant.
At this time, Rhodes quickly commanded the surrounding undead creatures to step forward to resist the centaur's attack, and at the same time, Rhodes himself took a few steps forward, raised his weapon, and prepared to meet the centaurs who were charging towards him.
For a time, with the power brought by the charge, the centaurs suppressed the undead creatures controlled by Rhodes and gained many advantages.
The centaur side obviously had no intention of talking to Rod, there was no word between the two parties, and as soon as they made contact, Rod could feel a lot of murderous intent.
Rhodes did not know why he was able to encounter the centaur troops in the territory of Dia.
At this time, what Rhodes wanted to know most was whether this attack by the centaurs was specifically aimed at himself, or if he was just hunting necromancers indiscriminately in the territory of Dia.
The group of centaurs who attacked Rhodes were strong, mostly at the level of the second and third orders, but when facing many ghosts, they could not kill them quickly for a while, and could only engage in grappling.
At this time, what caught Rod's attention the most was a centaur in the center of the battlefield, who was the leader of the group of centaurs.
The centaur leader wore a mask on his face, and in his hands were two battle axes. The tomahawk swung one after another, and the surrounding ghosts could not withstand its full force and fell one after another.
Seeing this, feeling the spiritual imprint in his mind quickly dissipate, Rhodes hurriedly manipulated the vampires and the ghosts, causing them to come forward and resist the strongest centaur.
And Rhodes was on the sidelines, along with the ghosts around him, attacking the centaurs around him.
Realizing that he should fight with all his strength at this point, Rhodes quickly raised his hand, and a fireball shot towards the formation of centaurs not far away.
The centaurs around them didn't wear any armor, and the best one was a piece of leather armor. The centaur hit directly by the fireball flew out in an instant, taking full magic damage.
The strong impact caused by the explosion of the fireball caused a lot of confusion in the formation of the centaurs, and taking advantage of this opportunity, under the leadership of Rod, the surrounding ghosts began to fight back against the centaurs.
Taking advantage of the fireball destroying the formation of these centaurs, Rhodes quickly swung his sword and slashed at one of the centaurs in front of him.
The centaur is large, but it doesn't have much effect on its movement speed. Although it was hit by the fireball, the centaur in front of Rhodes reacted quickly and waved the weapon in his hand to block Rhodes' attack.
With a missed blow, Rhodes quickly rushed towards the centaur's side, and at the same time a sword slashed, and the position of the sword was obviously low.
Rhodes was clearly trying to take advantage of the Centaur's tall stature and weak defense underneath to attack it.
The blade slashed across the centaur's horse, creating a crushing sensation in the iron sword, but Rhodes struck the centaur anyway. Blood flowed from the wound, and Rhodes inflicted a single blow on the centaur with a single sword.
Rod dodged to the centaur's side and stabbed his sword into its body.
The blade stabbed the horse's heart, but the centaur did not fall for a moment, but swung his weapon in his hand, trying to die with Rod.
Rhodes quickly dodged back, letting the rest of the surrounding ghosts block him while he went on to deal with the next centaur
Due to the special structure of the body, centaurs have a total of two hearts, one in the human body and one in the horse's body. After one of the hearts is destroyed, the centaur will not die for a short time, and will still be able to fight for a while, and if it cannot be healed effectively, it will eventually die of its injuries.
So, after piercing the centaur's heart, instead of continuing to attack it, Rhodes let the undead creatures around him block it and let it die as it ran out of health.
Due to the fireballs, there was some confusion among the Centaur team. Just as Rhodes was about to attack the rest of the centaurs again, the centaur leader let out a roar.
At the same time as the roar, there was a stream of water. The water descended directly, extinguishing the flames in the centaur formation.
Hearing this roar, the rest of the centaurs around immediately calmed down and began to regroup in formation, steadily counterattacking Rhodes' undead creatures.
The roar reached Rod's ears, causing him to notice something unusual. The roar was sharp, and it was supposed to be a woman.
Under the command of the centaur leader, the surrounding centaurs resumed their battle with these undead creatures.
The battle began again, and the surrounding centaurs cooperated more tacitly. Perhaps affected by this roar, in the face of these undead creatures around them, this group of centaurs obviously used all their strength.
In the original battle with the centaur leader, the vampire has been in a state of suppression, and even if there are two shades around to help resist, it is completely unable to fight back for a while.
The centaur leader slashed down with an axe, bringing out a heavy sound of breaking wind, and if the vampire tried to rely on his strength to block it, his body would be cut off in an instant.
