Chapter 1164: Strategy

Erathia's experience during this period had already taught Eli how difficult it was to stop the necromancer's invasion from the beginning.

The scenes that took place in the Emerald City at this time undoubtedly showed Rhodes that Eli had made another choice from Erathia.

Unlike Erathia, who gathered a large number of mages in the early days and cooperated with the legendary creatures in Cloudsdale to try to defeat the lich who led a large number of corpse witches on the frontal battlefield, Eli Creature had no intention of fighting the necromancer head-on from the beginning.

In Rhodes's view, the response made by Eri Biology is nothing more than to evacuate ordinary creatures, and at the same time shrink the battle line, concentrating all his strength on the final decisive battle, without making unnecessary attrition.

At the same time, the elven assassins in Eri will continue to look for opportunities to overcome the resistance of the corpse witch and assassinate the invading necromancers, so as to gain a certain advantage for the final battle.

In the process, Eli may lose a lot of his original town and land, and lose what he once had, but he can ensure that the creatures in it can survive to the maximum extent possible, and will not increase the number of undead creatures.

According to what Rhodes knew about the elves, there was a location that the Eri creatures would never give up, and that was the sacred place located in the depths of the Turalian forest, that is, the location of the Elven King City, as long as the necromancer advanced here, that area was very likely to become the final battlefield.

With the presence of Erathia's famous general, the hero Gru, Rhodes could foresee how much loss the scattered necromancers would have to suffer if they wanted to reach the Turalone Forest, which was the final battlefield.

Gru, the hero who came to support from Erathia, was the most adept at guerrilla warfare, and in his previous games, Rhodes had heard of the legendary hero's name many times.

The "Jungle Warriors" led by Gru cannot be expanded into full-fledged legions due to their limited numbers, but their members are elite enough to perform any one mission.

When such a legendary hero led his right-hand men to attack the necromancer in the forest suitable for hidden combat, Rhodes seemed to have a premonition of the end of most necromancers.

Of course, the necromancer can use the corpse witch to release the cloud of death all the way to erode all the trees in his path, without giving those elves any chance to sneak attack, but in this way, the speed of travel will inevitably be greatly slowed down, and it is not easy to completely erode the dense forest in the middle of the Eri.

Unlike Erathia, the evacuation of the creatures of Eli has no time to take care of every species, and the elves and humanoids are undoubtedly the primary evacuation targets, as for the animals of the forest, especially those beasts without intelligence, still haunt this forest.

The animals that exist in the forest are undoubtedly the best transformation objects for necromancers, and the creatures of Eli who are not familiar with the effects of artifacts naturally do not think that animals can also become the objects of transformation of necromancers, which is also the biggest difference between Eli and Erathia.

Just like what Rhodes said to those necromancers before, under the full transformation of the necromancers, they will have far more than before, and the transformed undead creatures are enough to increase their overall strength by a few grades.

From the empty Emerald City, Rhodes saw the strategy of the Eri creatures, and the only thing that made Rhodes wonder was whether the strategy of the Eri creatures was formulated before the arrival of the hero Gru, or after his arrival.

The timing of the strategy will affect Rod's judgment of the entire battle situation, and it will also affect the decisions made by Rod, which is undoubtedly crucial.

According to Rod's predictions, if this strategy had been developed after Gru's arrival, it would probably not have been an easy trip.

In the middle of the sky, a bat scurried over the necromancer's head and finally stopped in front of Rhodes, accompanied by a burst of black fog that emerged from the form of the vampire Moore.

Prior to this, according to Rod's request, the vampire who flew here from a high altitude had been monitoring the creatures in the Emerald City for a long time, and passed on the information it saw to Rod.

Even so, Rhodes still didn't see any anomalies from the messages transmitted by the vampires, and before the arrival of the necromancer, there was still a peaceful scene in the Emerald City, except for the strict defenders, the creatures in it didn't seem to be aware of the threat at all, and they were still living happily as usual.

It wasn't until the meteor shower completely fell and destroyed the buildings in the city that Rhodes realized that the Emerald City was already empty, and that what the vampire observed was an illusion at all, and that even Rhodes had been deceived.

Without the intention of blaming the vampire, Rhodes gave it the next order through the spirit seal, and with a burst of black mist, the vampire turned into a large number of bats and began to fly away towards the necromancer's back.

Although they have not yet entered the ranks of high-level creatures, the strength of vampires has still been greatly improved, the death energy released has been raised to a higher level, and the use of bats has also been enhanced, and more importantly, the vampires at this time, like necromancers, have mastered the use of spiritual imprints.

Thanks to the presence of the spirit seal, the vampire was able to complete the control of the undead creatures, and the only disappointment for Rhodes was that since the vampire was not a death knight, Rhodes was unable to gain any experience points from the undead creatures he controlled.

Only a true Death Knight can pass on the experience points gained by his undead creatures to Rhodes himself, and any other kind of undead creatures, even if they have mastered the spirit mark, cannot do this.

At this time, the vampires were already extremely close to the existence of sixth-order creatures, relying on the improved bat-turning ability, the number of bats that vampires turned into at the same time reached nearly a hundred, and they could disperse extremely far from each other, and could monitor the movements in a large area.

According to Rod's request, the bats that the vampires have turned into have spread all over the road back to Verning, and once the necromancer who comes to Erine has the intention of escaping, as the vampire of the Overseer, he will directly kill him and take over the necromancer's control of the corpse witch.

Although Rhodes has made his words clear, there will always be necromancers who don't believe it and plan to risk death and return to Werning, and the presence of vampires is to prevent this.
