Even Rhodes had to consider the meaning of Phoenix's words.
Sandro, who held an artifact in his previous life, was able to rely on his own strength to deal with the siege of many legendary creatures. In terms of spell casting ability, Sandro did not behave like a lich, but like a true legendary mage. .
For Rhodes at this time, relying on the blessing of two artifacts, it is extremely difficult to face an ordinary legendary mage. Once the number of legendary creatures increases, Rhodes has no suitable means to deal with it.
The existence of the artifact has a vital impact on this battle, and Rhodes needs to try to avoid the possibility of losing the artifact. Elsa's initial words also mentioned this situation, but Rhodes did not pay attention to it.
Because of this, Rhodes had to consider the suggestion in Phoenix's words to establish a target, or to put it more bluntly, to support a puppet.
Not only Rhodes, but also other lichs in the field were also attracted by Phoenix's suggestion. They also understood what effect such a confusing method would have in the subsequent battles.
No lich raised any objection to Phoenix's suggestion. From the attitudes of these lichs, Rhodes sensed a tacit approval. Even Asri, whom he mentioned, did not express any objection.
At this time, Asri was watching Rhodes, wanting to see what decision he would make.
As if he had realized something, Rhodes looked at Phoenix not far away again. He knew that it might not be an accident that Phoenix mentioned Asri in his words.
According to Asri's strength, calling him the holder of an artifact will naturally not arouse doubts from other creatures. Such a legendary lich, relying on its accumulated strength for a long time, is enough to deal with the offensive of any legendary creature.
However, if Asri is chosen as the obvious target, Rhodes himself will be in an extremely embarrassing position.
After all, Asri is too powerful. The legends about her can even be traced back to the age when the God of Mage was in its heyday. At that time, she mastered the supreme spell of reincarnation, even among the lichs at this time. , when calling her name, you need to use the honorific title of Mother Earth.
In Rhodes' view, if Asri is chosen, she will become more than just a target. With her strength, she can become the real leader of this battle and ultimately make the situation completely different. out of control.
At this time, Asri may still be supportive of Rhodes, but Rhodes has to worry that in this case, once the time is right, Asri will lead many lichs to seize the artifact in his hand. , thus putting yourself out of the game.
Even for the sake of battle, Asri is definitely not willing to bear the threat of those legendary creatures in vain. What price can Rhodes pay to meet Asri's needs?
If you choose a weaker necromancer, you don't have this worry. Even if the necromancer wants to snatch the artifact, his strength will not allow him to do so, and he can only become a puppet controlled by the lich.
Rhodes realized that Phoenix had dared to make such suggestions, and perhaps he had already guessed in his mind what choice he would make.
Fenis is undoubtedly a better choice than any Lich in the field.
According to the trajectory of the expansion pack in the previous life, Phoenix has indeed become a puppet controlled by the Lich, and has made great achievements in the second expansion pack.
As the holder of the artifact recognized by many liches, Phoenix has a very high status in the hearts of all necromancers without taking action, even surpassing the lichs themselves.
If only one lich admits it, ordinary necromancers may not believe it and just think that he is a puppet of the lich, just like the royal family in Diya. However, when all the lichs in Diya say so unanimously, and only he follows his lead. At that time, ordinary necromancers had no choice but to believe it, without any doubts in their hearts.
This is the power that the Lich has accumulated under its long rule over Diya. The Necromancer does not dare to question the Lich's decision-making.
Relying on the blessing of the power of the Lich and combined with Fenis's own abilities, it is no wonder that he was able to become the king of Dia in the second expansion pack of his previous life. Even if Sandru's existence finally appeared in the eyes of all living things, it would not matter at all. Doesn't affect this.
"In that case, let's choose the latter. What do you lichs think?"
There was silence, and no lich objected to this.
Stephen on the side took the initiative and said: "It is appropriate to choose the Necromancer to become a puppet. The low strength of the Necromancer is just convenient for our control. I believe you don't want to see a certain Lich become the target of other creatures, but in the end a family appears. A dominating situation.”
As Stephen's words fell, a trembling joy appeared on Phoenix's face, and dark pus continued to drip from his face, but he didn't care at all. He realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived. .
However, the next moment, the joy on Phoenix's face completely froze. In his sight, accompanied by a sense of crisis that chilled his spine, a violently jumping lightning was shooting towards him rapidly.
Before he could make any excuse, Phoenix quickly used teleportation to escape to the side.
Just when his figure emerged and he was about to say something, a bolt of lightning happened to pass through this place and just appeared in Phoenix. As if he deliberately used his body to receive the lightning, he was directly hit by it.
As a fierce white light flashed past, Phoenix's charred figure fell heavily into a pile of dead bones, and was then buried deeply, with no breath coming out.
On the side, Rhodes put away the Titan Arrow in his hand again.
Just waving the weapon in his hand twice, he released two spells that were as powerful as fifth-level magic. The scene in front of him was naturally watched by all the lichs.
If before this, when Nagus conducted a test, due to the obstruction of the black mist, although the lich in the field sensed the emergence of the spell, they were unable to see the specific process. They had no idea how Rhodes used it to repel Nagus. They were unaware of Gus's spells and the power of the artifact.
At this time, Rhodes's move also made the lich in the field deeply understand the unique power of the artifact, and their evaluation of Rhodes' strength could not help but change.
Before Rhodes waved the weapon in his hand, no lich noticed the condensation of magic elements. The time for the spell to take shape was extremely short. Apart from relying on perception to predict the coming danger, there was almost no way to prepare for it.
