"This is the city of Cana that Sally mentioned? It seems that I came at the right time."
As soon as he arrived in the city of Karna, thick smoke caught Rhode's attention, and fires were set off all over the city.
Rhodes, who is familiar with the fighting methods of the Hell Legion, understands that flame is their most commonly used weapon. In the third expansion pack, flames often represent the emergence of demons.
"Master, I feel the aura of the Cregans. The heretic you are looking for is here." Aglan, who appeared with him beside Rhodes, said proactively.
"I know, but before I find them, I need to deal with the enemies here." As he said that, Rhode's expression became serious.
From the information from the Thieves Guild, Rhodes learned that the city of Cana on the border of Erathia was being attacked by heretics, and the war situation was very tense for a time.
Relying on the castle's defensive location and the cooperation of many arms, the commanders in the city repelled the waves of attacks from the heretics. Of course, what the creatures in the city don't know is that those heretics who are already very powerful in their view are just the vanguard of the Hell Legion.
The vanguard of the Hell Legion, composed of sorcerers and alien creatures, couldn't wait any longer. Before the results of the Hell Trial came out, they started attacking the border of Erathia.
The emergence of this situation happened to be in line with Rhodes' expectations. In order to regain the body in the cloud treasure, Rhodes only hoped that the advance troops of the Hell Legion could mess up the entire Erathia as much as possible, but after all, it was just The advance troops, depending on their strength, may have difficulty achieving this, and may not even be able to induce the angels to take action.
After learning the location of the City of Cana, Rhodes returned to the island and immediately asked the great demon Aglan to send him here.
The advance troops of the Hell Legion alone were not enough to capture the city of Cana, which had been baptized by war and had just driven back the Necromancer not long ago. Rhodes appeared here to change this situation.
Ordinary pagan sieges are not enough to attract the attention of those angels. The original defenders here alone are enough to resist the legions of hell for a long time.
This is also the purpose of Rhodes' appearance. He needs to severely beat Erathia in order to attract those angels and distract the defensive power of the Treasure House in the Cloud.
The arrival of Rhodes instantly changed the tense situation of the battle. Such a huge giant instantly attracted the attention of the city's defenders. They did not want to believe that the giant who seemed to be inseparable from the devil came to help them. of.
"High-ranking priests, use your power to purify him! The second and third teams of sharpshooters are ready to fire volleys alternately. The first team should pay attention to the enemies outside the city. All soldiers should keep their distance and do not get close to the giant!"
As several orders spread, the defenders in the city acted in accordance with the orders. The marksmen held the crossbows in their hands and aimed at the giant's body from a distance. The priests in robes muttered words and exuded strong magic power. Fluctuating, always ready to cast a spell.
And Rhodes also locked the position of the commander in the city through the voice.
Being able to lead the city's defenders to withstand the siege of the heretics certainly relied on the convenience of the castle's defense, and more importantly, the commander's proper command.
The special skill of leadership can be more powerful in Erathia than elsewhere. The people of Erathia who are morale-boosted can exert more power than usual. Rhodes knew that as long as the commanders in the city were eliminated, everything that followed would be handed over to the heretics, which would be enough to win.
Sharp crossbow arrows kept shooting at Rhodes' body.
Erathia's military two-handed crossbow is far more powerful than the small pocket crossbows popular in the Thieves Guild, and the specially made crossbow arrows have powerful armor-breaking capabilities. Even large shields will be damaged by the crossbow arrows. penetrate.
Under the continuous fire from the crossbow, even Goliath's skin found it difficult to resist for a while. Weapons with armor-piercing attributes are the best weapons to deal with Goliath's body, and those two-handed crossbows are weapons that can achieve the ultimate in armor-piercing.
The pain continued to spread from Rhodes' body. He put his hands in front of him to block the sharp-eyed crossbowman from shooting at the main body above his head.
However, due to the limitations of its material, the shooting range of the crossbow could not reach that of a bow and arrow. When these crossbowmen fired at Rhodes, they were also exposed in front of Rhodes.
Rhodes quickly took the steps of a giant, and in a rush, he came to the group of crossbowmen. His arms swept across, and several deep ravines appeared on the ground. As the smoke and dust scattered, many crossbowmen were instantly killed by him. wipe out.
As the price of a successful attack, a large number of crossbow arrows were inserted in front of Rhodes. Although the penetration ability of the powerful crossbow was extremely terrifying, the damage it could cause was limited due to its small body. For Rhodes, it was like his body was being shot. The toothpicks were inserted one after another. Although the pain was inevitable, due to the recovery from the fusion ceremony, the actual damage suffered was extremely limited.
The commander in the city also discovered this and loudly ordered: "The crossbowmen retreat for now, focus on dealing with the enemies outside the city, and mobilize the large crossbow vehicles in the city to deal with the giant!"
After listening to the commander's order, Rhodes once again set his sights on the man. He really wanted to rush over and kill the commander. Unfortunately, the group of priests beside the commander temporarily suppressed him. Got the idea.
Compared to the crossbow in the hands of a marksman, magic can undoubtedly cause greater damage to Goliath's body. The previous situation of being suppressed by the fairy dragon in the dragon army is still vivid in his mind, and Rhodes will not act rashly like that.
Except for the priests who cast magic, the marksmen, and the large ballista mentioned by the commander, it was difficult for other Erathians to harm him.
Even the proud knights of Erathia looked like a group of bugs that could be trampled to death at any time in front of Goliath's body, unable to harm Rhodes at this time.
Compared with the priests in the city, Rhodes' real enemies are the angels who may come. For this reason, Rhodes needs to hide his strength as much as possible, especially the power of teleportation.
No matter what those angels thought, it was impossible to guess that the giant, who seemed to have extremely powerful melee capabilities, actually mastered the power of teleportation, and this was the gift that Rhodes prepared for them.
As for the commander in the city, that person was just a small obstacle in Rhodes' plan. Rhodes didn't take him seriously from the beginning. Since that person wanted to deal with him, Rhodes didn't mind showing his strength a little.
