For Rhodes and his party, the black fog severely hinders vision and perception, so they must be cautious enough.

But for Karthas, the black fog is a tentacle that helps him detect the enemy's situation - as long as Rhodes and his party are in the black fog, Karthas knows their movements.

In the outposts of the entire central complex of Shadow Isle, Karthas and Maude Caesar stood side by side, four eyes with a glowing dark light silently watching Rhodes and his party.

"Very cautious choice." This is Karthus's assessment, "To be honest, there is a subtle gap between their performance along the way and their blind choice - if they are cautious, then they should never come to the shadows; But if they are arrogant, in fact they take every step of the way, and do not even give a chance to sneak attack. ”

(Karthas apparently did not know what it meant to despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically.) ）

"Hmph."

Maude Caesar under the armor did not respond to Karthas, he just snorted coldly, and seemed to be quite disdainful of Rhodes and his party.

"To be honest, until now I still haven't figured out who the core of this team is - I can't understand the existence called Zoe, but I feel as if Rhodes is the commander......"

"Meaningless." The impatient Maudekaiser interrupted Karthas's reasoning with a wave of his hand, "You've been tempted a few times, and now you're telling me you don't know who the captain is?!" ”

"My minions have suffered heavy casualties, and you're still not satisfied—"

"Am I being too lenient with you, and you see this tolerance as indulgence?!"

In front of the impatient Maude Caesar, Karthhas could only claim to be true after all - so it was not the third temptation that greeted Rhodes and his party, but an encounter.

And the beginning of the encounter is still the charge of the undead knight.

As before, Hecarim and the Iron Regiment suddenly appeared, stepping on the black mist and charging towards Rhodes.

After several blows, Hecarim's Iron Regiment is now much less powerful than it used to be - although the cavalry is already terrible in number, and still can do everything up and down the mountains and seas, the quality can only be hehe.

If the Iron Regiment used to be a combination of human and centaur Dread Knights, now ...... At most, a bunch of zombies on skeletal horses.

Movements are stiff and sluggish.

This kind of goods...... Lucian can solve a large piece with one hand.

However, it was rare that Hecarim returned to normal, and wisely enveloped a large area of black fog when he charged, which made Rod fearful.

Of course, it's just a bit of a fear.

This group of clumsy cavalry, even under the cover of the black mist, suffered heavy damage directly after a charge, and half of the cavalry under Rhodes's wall of fire and Lucian's holy flame were wiped out in the middle of the charge.

But Hecarim's purpose had been achieved - after disrupting Rod's formation, he did not turn around and charge again, but simply disappeared into the black fog.

At the same time, the ethereal singing voice reappeared, and Rod felt dizzy again.

Karsus!

The Death Carol is singing again.

Rhodes was under a lot of pressure, and Caltha's singing was not only unpleasant, but also deadly - those who heard it were corrupted by the power of the death runes and could become undead at any time.

It's a song for the soul, so plugging your ears or something is covering your ears and stealing the bell, and Rhodes needs Zoe to sing another song.

At the critical moment, Zoe said I didn't want to sing.

Rod was a little embarrassed - although she had long thought that this little girl might be unreliable, she really didn't expect her to be so unreliable!

In desperation, Rhodes could only interrupt Karthas's singing with his own hands.

"Jana, help me blow away the fog!"

In the next moment, Jana summoned a gust of wind that temporarily dispersed the black mist.

Although in the game, Karthas's Requiem is a global stream that defies distance, in reality, in Valoran, Karthas can't hear it whenever he wants to sing the Requiem - to interfere with Rhodes, Karthas must be nearby.

Jana dispelled the black mist for the time being—it was only a few seconds, but it was enough for Rhodes to find Karthas's location.

This guy was hiding in a dilapidated ruin—if it weren't for his hat being so high, Rhodes wouldn't have found him in the first place.

As long as you find Karthus, it's easy to say - since you can't block the singing, let's just end up with the singer!

The next moment, the flames of Saffron exploded, and Rhodes burned in the direction of Kartas like a flowing fire.

……………………

Karthas, who was singing a requiem, was indeed in the position where Rhodes had found out - he didn't use the low-level trick of "putting his hat here and pretending to be a person", which might have been able to fool Rhodes once, but it didn't help the overall situation at all.

Karthas's goal was not to deceive Rhodes and use Requiem to interfere and kill from the beginning, his goal was Rhodes in the first place!

So, when Rhodes found Karthas, the death carer stopped singing for the first time, and then showed a hideous "smile".

"Ah, Mr. Rhodes, you're here."

However, at Karthus's smile, Rhodes was unmoved as if he hadn't seen it.

"Tell me, what did you do to prepare for bringing me here? If you're not mistaken, Maude Caesar is here too, right? ”

"How can you be so sure—why wouldn't Lord Maudekaiser deal with that little girl?"

"It's very simple." Rod moved his shoulders slightly, "If she had just stopped your requiem, maybe Maudekaiser would have shot at her - but I was the one who stopped you, and I really don't believe that Maudekaiser would rush over to find Zoe alone." ”

"Brilliant reasoning." Karthas nodded slightly, "And exaggerated confidence—"

However, just as Karthas was about to praise something, Rod interrupted him.

"Of course, that's all nonsense on my part—actually, it's because I hear the heavy footsteps of my armor walking." With that, Rhodes turned to Maude Caesar, "To be honest, you should lose weight." ”

"Sharp-tongued idiot." Maude Caesar was unmoved by Rod's provocation and ridicule, "Come and taste death!! ”

At the same time, just after Maude Caesar targeted Rod, the others realized that something was wrong.

However, when everyone wanted to come forward to help, a one-armed ghost appeared on the way.

"Taste Hell—your souls...... It's about to be mine. ”

The next moment, five dark green translucent walls appeared out of thin air, enveloping the group in it.

"Nether Prison !!"
