chapter 18 Surround and kill three

by William 19:48,Sep 19,2023


The death of one wolf, instead of frightening the other wolves, actually aroused their anger.

Without waiting for the Wolf King's order, after the fallen skeleton warrior died, the other wolves rushed towards Rhodes. But since the passage was only that big, only a few wolves could approach Rhodes at the same time.

Just when Rhodes slashed at the wolf in the front with his sword, the zombies from behind also arrived.

The zombies began to attack the wolf in the rear, and the wolves suddenly became confused. Some wolves were still preparing to attack Rhodes, while some turned back to bite the walking corpses.

Due to the chaos among the wolves, the pressure faced by Rhodes suddenly eased.

Behind, the wolf had just bitten the walker's thigh, and before it started tearing, the walker clawed at the wolf, leaving several blood marks on the wolf's body, not caring about the wolf's bite.

Players with a little common sense will not trade injuries for injuries with walking zombies. When dealing with undead creatures, injury replacement cannot have much effect, especially for undead creatures with thick blood such as walking corpses. You can only find ways to attack its weaknesses.

But the wolf pack is different. The wolves only know how to attack the enemy in front of them, and want to rely on their past experience to kill the walking corpses by biting their prey.

In the passage, Rhodes slashed down with his sword to push back the wolf that was charging towards his legs, then pulled it sideways and wounded the other wolf next to him, then raised his foot and kicked the wolf's fragile nose.

The wolf that was kicked was obviously a little sluggish. Not to mention the injury, the suppressed momentum made it dare not attack Rhodes again. Since there were other wolves at the rear entrance, it could not retreat and could only get stuck in the middle of the passage. .

Rhodes continued to suppress the two wolves in front of him, but only wounded them, making them afraid to step forward for a while, but did not kill them directly.

Rhodes planned to let them get stuck here. The wolves behind are obviously unable to defeat the walking corpses. They only need to hold them back like this to kill the wolves without any loss.

The wolves wanted to retreat, but could not break through the defense of the zombies behind them. They wanted to attack themselves, but the entrance was blocked by the injured wolf...

For a time, Rhodes had the upper hand and the wolves were completely suppressed.

A wolf had already fallen in the rear. In the process of biting the zombies, the zombies killed them first, and the other wolves also felt uncomfortable.

The Wolf King also realized this. If he continued to waste like this, the only thing waiting for the wolves would be death.

The wolf king let out a howl, which was different from the previous howls that were obviously for command. As soon as this howl came out, the wolves suddenly changed.

Behind them, the wolves that were attacking the zombies suddenly seemed to go crazy, their eyes turned blood red, and they didn't pay attention to the attacks of the zombies, biting the legs of the zombies frantically.

In front of Rhodes, the wolf, which did not dare to step forward after being injured, seemed to be aroused. His eyes were filled with blood. The original fear of death no longer existed. He opened his mouth wide, revealing the sharp teeth inside, and bit into Rhodes.

Of course Rhodes, who has expert swordsmanship, would not be hurt by such an attack. Rhodes thrust his sword forward, and the blade of the sword penetrated the wolf's mouth at an extremely fast speed, almost sending the entire sword into it.

Since the sword penetrated deeply into the wolf's body, Rhodes was unable to pull it out for a while. Instead, he directly took out a sword from the space ring and chopped down the next wolf.

Except for a small number of wolves that bit the walking corpses, the rest of the wolves also rushed towards Rhodes, not caring about the possibility of being hurt.

"Leadership skills..."

Seeing the reaction of the wolves, Rhodes knew that if he could see the attributes of the Wolf King, it must have a special skill called leadership.

Leadership is a skill used by generals that can improve the morale of their men. Active use can put their men into a state of fanaticism for a period of time.

There is a limit to the number of active uses, which will increase as the level of leadership increases.

If players want to lead their men, leadership is a special skill that must be learned, otherwise morale will easily collapse, especially when they are at a disadvantage or when leading alien creatures.

Undead creatures do not have this restriction. The undead creatures themselves are the dead controlled by the necromancer. Even if the necromancer wants the undead creatures to die, the undead creatures will do it, and morale will have no effect. Therefore, Leadership is of no use to the Necromancer.

Rhodes estimated that the Wolf King's leadership skills would not be of a high level, otherwise when facing the Skeleton Warrior, the Wolf King would use it first instead of only using it when the situation was almost desperate.

At this time, half of the wolves fell into a state of frenzy and began to attack the surrounding zombies crazily. The other half of the wolves followed the instructions of the Wolf King and rushed towards Rhodes in the tomb.

No longer afraid of the damage caused by Rhodes' blade, even if he died, they would rush to Rhodes' feet and bite him. With such fanatical belief, the wolves began to attack Rhodes crazily.

If the wolves knew to leave a dodge distance at the beginning and only let two wolves enter at the same time, now the wolves have lost their minds, completely ignoring the space in the passage, and only want to attack the enemy in front of them.

This offensive method undoubtedly brought Rhode's swordsmanship to its extreme. Since the enemy has no room to dodge, Rhodes doesn't even need to consider the angle of his sword swing. He only needs to swing his sword downward to hit the enemy.

Compared to the open area, the terrain here can be said to be extremely beneficial to Rhodes.

Rhodes' sword blades were swung out one after another, and the number of wolf corpses in front of him gradually increased.

Just when Rhodes pierced a wolf in front of him with his sword, the Wolf King who was observing from behind made a move and began to condense magical energy.

There was no need for the warning from the reconnaissance technique. Rhodes, who had been paying attention to the Wolf King, noticed it immediately. Seeing the magic arrow shooting at him, Rhodes raised his hand and a wolf corpse flew into the air, blocking the magic arrow.

The wolf corpse in the air was torn apart, and rain of blood scattered in all directions. The strength attribute of 15 points allows Rhodes to perform such actions.

At this time, the frenzy caused by the leadership technique had subsided, but it still drove the wolves towards Rhodes. Rhodes continued to attack the wolves in front of him, while paying attention to the movements of the Wolf King.

More and more wolf corpses were piled up at Rhodes' feet. What surprised Rhodes was that the Wolf King, whom he had been guarding against, did not take action again until there was no more wolf in the passage.

Rhodes looked towards the back, where the Wolf King was fighting with the zombies.

It is not appropriate to say they are fighting together, because the zombies are all trying to catch the Wolf King, and the Wolf King is basically turning around to avoid them.

While the Wolf King was dodging, all the zombies were surrounding it. Even if it dodged, it could not be completely unharmed. There were many scratches left by the zombies on its body.

The Wolf King was avoiding and rushing towards the place where the walking corpses could not reach. Rhodes knew that the Wolf King wanted to escape.
