CHAPTER XVIII

The death of one wolf did not terrify the others, but provoked their anger.

Without waiting for the wolf king's order, after the death of the fallen skeleton warrior, the rest of the wolves rushed towards Rhodes. But because the passage was so large, only a few wolves could approach Rhodes at the same time.

Just as Rhodes swung his sword and slashed at the wolf at the front, the walking corpses in the rear also arrived.

The walking corpses began to attack the wolves in the rear, and the wolves suddenly became confused. Some of the wolves are still preparing to attack Rhodes, and some of the wolves are turning around and biting the walking corpses.

As a result of the chaos in the wolf pack, the pressure on Rhodes suddenly lessened.

In the rear, the wolf just bit on the thigh of the walking corpse, and before it could start tearing, the walking corpse grabbed the wolf with one paw, leaving a few blood marks on the wolf's body, not caring about the wolf's bite.

Players with a modicum of common sense will not trade injuries for the Walking Dead. When dealing with undead creatures, swapping injuries can't have much effect, especially for undead creatures with thick blood, such as walking corpses, who can only find ways to attack their weak points.

But wolves are different, wolves only know how to attack the enemy in front of them, and want to rely on their previous experience to kill the walking corpse by biting their prey.

In the passage, Rhodes slashed down with his sword, forcing back the wolf that rushed to his leg, then pulled sideways, wounding the other wolf on the side, and then raised a kick and kicked the wolf in the fragile nose.

The wolf that was kicked was obviously a little sluggish, not to mention the injury, the suppression of the momentum made it dare not attack Rhodes again, because there were other wolves at the rear entrance, it could not retreat, and could only get stuck in the middle of the passage.

Rhodes continued to suppress the two wolves in front of him, but only injured them, so that they did not dare to step forward for a while, and did not kill them directly.

Rhodes was going to let them get stuck here like that. The wolves in the rear obviously can't defeat the walking corpses, and they just need to drag them like this to kill the wolves without any loss.

The wolves wanted to retreat, unable to break through the defense of the walking corpses in the rear, and wanted to attack themselves, but the entrance was blocked by wounded wolves......

For a time, Rhodes completely had the upper hand, and the wolves were completely suppressed.

There were already wolves in the rear that had fallen, and they were killed by the walking corpses in the process of biting the walking corpses, and the rest of the wolves were not comfortable.

The wolf king also realized this, if he continued to consume like this, only death awaited the wolves.

The wolf king let out a howl, different from the previous howls that were obviously for command, this howl had just been issued, and the wolves suddenly changed.

In the rear, the wolves who were attacking the walking corpse suddenly seemed to go crazy, their eyes turned blood-red, they didn't care about the attack of the walking corpse, and frantically bit the legs of the walking corpse.

In front of Rod, the wolf who did not dare to step forward after being injured also seemed to be stimulated with blood all over his body, his eyes were full of blood, and the original fear of death no longer existed, and he opened his mouth wide, revealing the sharp teeth inside, and bit at Rod.

Of course, Rhodes, who has expert-level swordsmanship, will not be injured by such an attack. Rhodes stabbed forward with a sword, and the blade stabbed into the wolf's mouth at a rapid speed, sending almost the entire sword into it.

Since the sword pierced deep into the wolf's body, Rhodes couldn't pull it out for a while, and instead took out a sword directly from the spatial ring and slashed at the next wolf.

Except for a small number of wolves that were biting the walking corpses, the rest of the wolves also rushed towards Rhodes, not caring in the slightest about the possibility of being harmed.

"Is Leadership ......?"

Seeing the reaction of the wolves, Rod knew that if he could see the attributes of the wolf king, he must have a special skill leadership technique.

Leadership is a skill used by generals to boost the morale of their subordinates, and active use can put them in a state of frenzy for a period of time.

There is a limit to the number of times you can use it, and it will increase with the level of leadership.

If you want to lead your subordinates, leadership is a special skill that must be learned, otherwise it is very easy to lose morale, especially when you are at a disadvantage or when leading alien creatures.

Undead creatures do not have this restriction. The undead creature itself is a dead person controlled by the necromancer, and even if the necromancer wants the undead creature to die, the undead creature will carry it out, and morale will not play any role. Therefore, the art of leadership is of no use to necromancers.

Rhodes estimated that the Wolf King's leadership skills would not be of a high level, otherwise the Wolf King would use them first when facing the Skeleton Warriors, rather than when he was almost in a desperate situation.

At this time, the wolves who fell into a state of frenzy began to attack the walking corpses around them, and the other half of the wolves rushed to Rhodes in the tomb together according to the instructions of the wolf king.

No longer afraid of the damage caused by Rod's blade, even if he died, he would rush to Rod's feet and bite it, with such fanatical belief, the wolves began to attack Rhodes wildly.

If at the beginning the wolves knew to leave a distance to dodge and only let two wolves enter at the same time, the current wolves have lost their minds, completely ignoring the space in the passage, and only thinking about attacking the enemy in front of them.

This way of attacking undoubtedly allowed Rod's swordsmanship to be brought to the extreme. Since there is no room for the enemy to dodge, Rhodes doesn't even need to think about the angle of the swing of the sword, he only needs to swing the sword downwards to slash the enemy.

The terrain here can be said to be extremely favorable to Rhodes compared to the open area.

Rod's blades swung out one after another, and the wolf corpses in front of him gradually increased.

Just as Rhodes pierced a wolf in front of him with a sword, the wolf king, who was observing from behind, made a move and began to condense magical energy.

There was no need for a warning from the reconnaissance technique, and Rod, who had been paying attention to the wolf king, noticed it as soon as possible. Seeing the magic arrow shooting at him, Rhodes picked it up with his backhand, and a wolf corpse flew into the air, blocking the magic arrow.

The wolf corpses in the air were torn apart, and the rain of blood was scattered. The 15 Strength stat allows Rhodes to perform such actions.

At this time, the frenzy caused by the leadership technique subsided, but it still drove the wolves to rush towards Rod, who continued to attack the wolf in front of him, while paying attention to the movements of the wolf king.

The wolf corpses piled up more and more at Rod's feet. What made Rhode feel strange was that until there was no more wolf in the passage, the wolf king, who had been guarding against him, did not strike again.

Rhodes looked behind him, where the wolf king was fighting with the walking corpses.

It is said that they are fighting together, but it is actually not appropriate, because they are all walking corpses grabbing the wolf king, and the wolf king is basically turning around to dodge.

In the process of the wolf king's dodge, because all the walking corpses surrounded it, no matter how it dodged, it could not be completely unharmed, and there were many scratches left by the walking corpses on its body.

The Wolf King rushed out of reach of the walking corpses as he dodged. Rhodes knew that the Wolf King wanted to escape.
