The sudden spread of the Death Cloud was beyond the expectations of all the Necromancers. They never expected that after dealing with the enemies in front of them, Rhodes would suddenly attack them.
The death cloud released by Rhodes has the ability to corrode everything. As soon as these necromancers reacted, their bodies were already submerged by the thick death cloud.
The spreading cloud of death instantly took away the lives of a large number of necromancers. At this time, some necromancers also found that the incoming cloud of death completely bypassed themselves, allowing them to avoid this fatal death. Cloud, thus surviving by chance.
However, compared to the large number of dead necromancers, there are only a very small number of surviving necromancers. Even they don't know why they can survive. They can only stay in place and feel the spread of the cloud of death.
Ailon, who was behind him, was naturally not within the scope of the cloud of death. The scene in front of him also made him startled.
"Why..." Looking at Rhodes who had finished casting the spell, Ailon asked, his eyes serious and his voice trembling. "These necromancers are not enemies."
Elon was naturally dissatisfied with this behavior of Rhodes. Many of the necromancers stationed outside the Soul-Calling Tower were his more trusted personnel. At this time, Rhodes had eliminated them. He wanted to recruit such people again. Manpower, I don’t know how long it will take.
In addition, there were also many necromancers who happened to be conducting research on spiritualism at the lower level of the Soul-Calling Tower during this period. However, they were involved in the battle. At this time, they were eliminated by Rhodes without discrimination. Naturally, we don’t want to see this happen.
"They saw things they shouldn't have seen," Rhodes replied simply.
Seemingly seeing the dissatisfaction in Elon's heart, Rhodes added: "Once they spread the news on the battlefield, the other abilities of the artifact may be discovered by the lich, and the city of Saou will be attacked by the lich in an instant. siege."
After hearing Rhodes' explanation, Elon roughly understood the reason for his doing so, and sighed: "Even so, there is no need to take the lives of these necromancers. There can be another way to prevent them from spreading the news. .”
Rhodes shook his head, unable to see any change in his expression: "Only the dead can keep secrets."
"No." As if thinking of something, Rhodes raised his hand, and the pure death energy spread out and entered the dark clouds. For a moment, scarlet light spots began to emerge continuously, and the body that had fallen down began to appear. A new attitude stood up, "Even the dead may not be able to keep secrets."
Rhodes' actions made Elron silent for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Considering the identity of Lord Rhodes and the fact that he had just defeated the powerful enemy in front of him, Elon couldn't say anything more.
"Are you questioning my decision?" Sensing Elon's current state, Rhodes' momentum changed and he took the initiative to ask, "For those necromancers who are nothing?"
"How dare I question the great lord's decision." Aaron said in a suppressed tone, but the way he looked at Rhodes undoubtedly betrayed his true thoughts.
Perhaps it was because of the loyalty that Elon had shown before, the willingness to defend until the last moment and to die when facing an invincible enemy, which is not something that ordinary creatures can show. Even Rhodes felt a burst of emotion in his heart. He was moved. For this reason, Rhodes planned to talk to him more.
"Have you not seen through the nature of the necromancers? What they desire most is undoubtedly the pursuit of power. As long as the artifact is still in my hands, countless necromancers will swarm in and join the city of Saou."
"The death of these necromancers will not have any impact on the city of Saou. There is no need to worry about the sacrifice of the necromancers. Without this group of necromancers, there will be other necromancers who take the initiative to join the city of Saou, just like being affected by filth. Like flies attracted by things, they always breed and breed in dark places that you can’t see.”
Hearing Rhodes' words, the corners of Elon's mouth twitched, feeling that something was inappropriate.
Rhodes' words touched Elon's heart. Looking at Rhodes in this state, Elon didn't know whether it was because of his experience during the exile or because his body had lost flesh and blood. He only felt that he was more cold-blooded than before. It even loses the emotions that living things should have.
Aron was not afraid of Rhodes in this state, but he could not help but sigh in his heart.
At this time, the cloud of death gradually dissipated in the field, revealing a large number of corpse wizard kings shrouded in dark clouds and fog, as well as a very small number of surviving necromancers.
"In order to reward you for your previous actions, I left a few necromancers that you recognized. Use your own methods to ensure that they will not spread the news about the battlefield. As for the other dead necromancers, they will be treated as such. On Ori's head."
The existence of the Peeping Eye allows Rhodes to detect the thoughts in the minds of Elrond and these necromancers.
Through his own confirmation, during the process of releasing the Death Cloud, Rhodes deliberately left behind a few of Elon's cronies. These people were not of high rank. The only ones worthy of praise were their support for Elon and Saou City. Having enough loyalty to leave these necromancers who will not reveal the news can be regarded as an explanation to Elon.
Although Rhodes didn't care about Elon's thoughts, in view of his previous performance, he still used the lives of these people as a reward for Elon. After all, not all his men could stand up at such a juncture.
"Speaking of which, where is Vita? As a death knight under Rowling, why was she not seen when the powerful enemy attacked?" Until the end of the battle, Vita was not seen, and Rhodes naturally felt something. Doubtful, he knew that Vita's absence on the battlefield must be inseparable from Ailon.
Aaron reached out and touched his nose, looking thoughtful, "Vita, she should be in the potion factory outside the city now, dealing with various matters. She didn't know about the ceremony held by Rowling, nor did she know about it. The news of the incoming powerful enemy therefore did not appear on the battlefield.”
Ailon's words immediately aroused Rhode's interest.
Regardless of whether Vita really didn't know the news of the powerful enemy's arrival, or Elon deliberately concealed this from Vita, Rhodes didn't care at this time. What Rhodes really cared about was the other thing Elon said. One thing is the existence of a potion factory.
Rhodes recalled that before he was exiled to the water elemental plane, there was no potion factory. The potion factory was obviously a special building that only appeared during this time.
