Chapter 124: One Ride is a Thousand
People have the impression that mages are often associated with mysticism to a greater or lesser extent.
Both the usual hooded appearance and the habit of thinking make the mage look a little more mysterious than other professions.
But in reality, the mystery of the mage is only because the layman does not know the way.
Mages are able to grasp a lot of useful information, and then draw conclusions through their thinking that others can't, and they see farther than others, so it always feels a little mysterious.
But...... Anyone who has met Rhodes hardly thinks that Rhodes is a mysterious man - even if he likes to wrap himself in a cloak and hood, even if he always thinks three steps at a time.
For no other reason, Rhodes was too fierce in battle.
But...... Then again, are there any sculptor mages who aren't tough in battle?
……………………
Facing the raid of the ratchet brigade, Rhodes directly uncovered the seal on his left arm.
The flames of Safron, sealed in by Rod's body, began to burn brightly—the best thing about this flame was that it didn't take much effort to use.
The Safron Flame is the essence of the Fire Demon King that Rhodes collected on Ragnaros, and as soon as Sa appears, this flame can automatically attract the surrounding flames to gather, and then use it for Rhodes.
The next moment, the earth cracked open and the lava erupted—flames bursting from the ground under Rod's control became a wall of fire and crushed forward.
As a result, after the ground cracked, Rhodes's power became more and more terrifying.
The flickering flames formed a vortex of flame that seemed to be like substance at Rod's feet, making Rhodes floating in mid-air look ...... Like a god.
The performance of the Safron Flame on the battlefield was terrifying.
The flames spread out as if they were about to burn the heavens and the earth, and as the ground cracked one after another, more and more lava gushed out, forming a terrible river of lava under Rhodes' control.
The lava river roared and rushed towards Lady Piltworth's position, naturally splitting the battlefield in two, with the Ratchet Brigade at one end and the main position at Leather City on the other.
This terrifying power stunned everyone.
There are even some soldiers in the Picheng Armament who have already begun to fight in two groups and are about to leave first.
Is this still human?
Under this terrible power, do you really have a chance to win?
Nobody knows.
But the Ratchet team didn't back down - they led the way with their own captain, using the Hex battle mech to clear the way and attack Rhodes.
"Ratchet, you can't go back!"
"For progress!"
"For Piltover!"
Although Rhodes's flames had begun to focus on taking care of the brigade that was still charging, it was not so easy for a brigade of 256 men to charge with all its strength.
Many members of the Ratchet Brigade were wiped out directly in the flames of Safron, but many more still broke through the blockade one after another.
Relying on the ability of the Hexs Combat Mech to fly for a short time, the Ratchet Brigade crossed the ravines, dodged the flames that roared on the battlefield, and came to a place less than a hundred yards in front of Rhodes to begin to deploy a counterattack.
……………………
Under the scorching flames, the captain of the ratchet brigade, Ragour, was sweating profusely.
Ragours is Jagu's shadow son - no one in Piltover knows that this orphan-born soldier is actually a distant relative of the Myrdalda family, let alone that he joined the Pittsburgh Armament for personal gain, but to contribute to Jagu's "great cause".
To be honest, when Jagu approached Raguls, Raguls was really a little surprised - after receiving Jagu's secret instructions, Raguls actually hesitated, but his loyalty to Jagu still prevailed, and he agreed to expand the war.
Even so...... is pit his own comrades-in-arms.
Sure enough, the expansion of the war unsurprisingly exposed some of his unprepared comrades to enemy fire, but they nevertheless gave Ragours his trust.
This trust helped Ragours accomplish his mission - the Zaun were enraged, and the scale of the war would inevitably increase.
In Jagu's instructions, the counterattack was not really the point.
But after Rhodes showed up and broke the seal to summon the Flames of Safron, the Ratchet Brigade had already completed its mission of expanding the war.
The next move came more from Ragours's own calculations.
If he simply expands the scale of the war, as Jagu said, then after the battle, he will definitely be punished for changing the battle plan without authorization, and may even affect everyone in the Ratchet Brigade.
But what if you yourself emerge victorious in this conflict?
That means that his behavior has become "a little reckless in order to win".
So after gaining the advantage in the early raid, Ragours chose to continue the attack without hesitation, and only by really winning can he keep himself.
But to Ragours's surprise, a terrible mage broke his calculations.
What a terrible power!
From Ragours' point of view, it seemed that the whole world was beginning to burn, the earth cracked, lava flowed sideways, and a roaring river of lava directly blocked Ragours's retreat!
What to do?
There's no going back - it's hard to force your way across the river, the bubbling lava is constantly blistering, and at this temperature, even if the Hex Combat Mech wants to fly at a low altitude, it may temporarily get out of control due to the high temperature.
So, instead of retreating, it's better to step forward and give it a go!
After all, the enemy is a mage, and as long as they reach the predetermined attack position, the ratchet team is not impossible to fight!
With this in mind, Ragours led the team on.
Then, as they began to set up their positions a hundred yards away from Rhodes, they saw a wall of lava more than five meters high crushing towards them.

Mages who are proficient in the plastic energy system will have something to do with the elements to a greater or lesser extent, and in addition to being able to rise, Rhodes also got some special flames for himself - it's good to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers.
