Although he was an otaku, years of gaming experience had given Roddy the ability to see the essence of the situation. On the surface, Roddy was leading the soldiers to fight against the puppets, but in reality, all of his actions were directed towards the same goal:
Kill Ansadin and Magda!
Would it be a victory to bring all the soldiers to deal with the puppets head-on?
That was only the most basic step of the plan. Kill the "main force", confirm Ansadin's position, and attack the center of the attack. That was Roddy's ultimate goal.
At this time, the five of them were running towards the manor. Amidst the sound of hooves, Roddy did not move silently, but patiently repeated the things to take note of in the upcoming battle:
"Ansadin will definitely have a life-saving puppet, and it might be very strong. Magda should not have recovered, but it is hard to guarantee that she still has some lethality, so we must pay attention to our formation and the order of our targets … "
"Prioritize killing …"
"Akasha's position …"
"Sodelor's shield …"
Speaking of which, fighting against these two powerful undead enemies was similar to fighting a BOSS, except that the BOSS had a fixed order of attack, and had a fixed first, second, and third phase of the battle. But the undead in front of him were not like that, even Roddy did not know what form they would appear in, so he could only try his best to analyze the possible outcome.
If he was lucky, he might be able to kill them in one move; if he was unlucky, he would have to grit his teeth and fight the enemy … Buffon had already been sent to inform Ruger and the others. Even if they could not win, as long as they could hold on for a while, they would be able to overwhelm the enemy with numbers!
This battle could only move forward, there was no way back.
The manor that Buffon pointed out was right in front of them, and Roddy could already clearly see the metal gate in front of the house, the rusty iron chains, and the inconspicuous entrance to the underground tomb at the back of the manor …
"It's inside."
Gripping the bow tightly, Roddy looked down and saw a few colorful potions hanging on his waist. The snapping turtle, Nokia, was poking its head out of his pocket. It seemed to be suffering from the jolting of the horse and was trying to climb out. Roddy reached out and pressed it back down. He did not intend to say anything, but in the end, he still whispered, "Stay here, don't move."
He didn't expect Nokia to understand him, but miraculously, the little thing stopped moving and obediently retracted back into its shell.
"Dismount!"
The sound of weapons clashing against each other could be heard. Natha ran towards a few trees that could be used as cover. Akasha also pointed at the low wall outside the manor and gave Roddy a questioning look.
Roddy nodded and made a few gestures. Akasha ran over with a sullen face. Sodelor and Wellington rushed into the manor with swords and shields in their hands and carrying heavy swords on their backs. The chain on the metal gate was broken by Wellington's hands as if he was pulling a noodle. The gate of the entire manor slowly opened without any warning …
Roddy, who was following behind, bent his body slightly. His eyes were constantly observing the surroundings. The effect of "Environmental Sensitivity" allowed him to pay attention to everything around the manor.
The area of the manor was not big. There was no common horse farm like in the manor of the nobles. There were only a few pigeon houses and a small back garden. If there was a battle, there were plenty of places that could be used as cover.
The road outside the manor was slightly old. After walking for a hundred meters, there was a fork in the road. The left side led to Kiger Town, and the right side led to Hollier City in the southeast. Looking into the distance, a large piece of primeval forest was at the end of the road, about a kilometer away.
After confirming this, Roddy made a "continue forward" gesture. He looked at Natha who was already standing on a big tree next to him. She noticed his gaze, looked around, and nodded to confirm that there was no danger.
This Wood Elf's behavior was similar to that of a "robot." She did not have a strong desire to fight, but she did not refuse Roddy's orders. She could not be considered a qualified soldier, but for Roddy, who was in urgent need of long-range firepower, it was enough for Natha to obey his orders.
Akasha squatted behind the low wall and made a "get in position" gesture. Roddy raised his short bow and followed the two people in front of him.
But before he could completely advance, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded from the tomb. Roddy's eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to raise his short bow, he saw the stone door of the tomb flew out with a loud bang!
The originally pitch-black tomb began to emit an orange-red glow, and grayish-black smoke began to emerge from the tomb. Following that, a pair of burning hands grabbed onto the broken door frame and pulled it to both sides.
"Ka Ka Ka Ka …"
With the sound of stones shattering, the entrance of the tomb was expanded three to four times its original size by the pair of orange-red palms. A deafening roar rang out, and a three-meter-tall puppet covered in flames leaped out!
It got out of the tomb, and without saying a word, it headed towards Wellington who was at the front. Its whole body was ignited with bright flames, and it was extremely dazzling in an instant!
"It's a Fire Puppet!"
"Fire Puppet" was not a skill that all "Necromancers" could learn. It was a "Rare Skill" and not an inheritance. It could only be obtained by "dropping" skill books … In the game, this was not a commonly used skill, but a skill to "save the situation".
Roddy had only seen the "Fire Puppet" twice in the game, and he knew how difficult it was to deal with it. This guy was different from the Iron Puppet. Its body was in a "semi-elemental" state, and normal attacks were completely ineffective!
Its only weakness was that it could only be summoned for five minutes … However, even in such a short time, the damage caused by the Fire Puppet was definitely more terrifying than ten Iron Puppets.
At this time, Roddy did not have much time to think. He shot three arrows in a row, and all of them hit the puppet's head. But the Fire Puppet did not react at all after being hit by the arrows. Instead, it ignored the arrows and took a big step forward, raising its fist and smashing it towards Wellington!
"Peng —"
The burning fist and the shield collided, and sparks flew everywhere with sputtering flame damage, almost setting Sodelor's clothes on fire …
Wellington, who was being attacked, roared angrily. He stood firmly on the spot and forcefully withstood the attack!
But the metal shield could not withstand such power, and the surface of the shield caved in, faintly showing signs of shattering …
The Fire Puppet's body was huge, and after the punch, its body slightly stiffened. Sodelor, who was beside it, immediately raised his hand and stabbed forward, piercing the Fire Puppet's neck with a "Puchi" sound.
But in the next second, the Fire Puppet actually twisted its body and punched Sodelor with a "Peng" sound, sending Sodelor flying with his shield!
Arrows and dagger attacks were completely ineffective.
Wellington did not believe it. He condensed his Battle Aura on his dagger, took a step forward, and used the shield to knock the opponent's arm away. Then, he raised his dagger, and with a "Shua" sound, he chopped the Fire Puppet's arm into the air …
The burning limb fell to the ground with a "Pa Da" sound, and immediately turned into a pool of magma-like hot liquid. At the same time, the Fire Puppet's broken arm burst into flames, and in less than two seconds, an identical arm grew out!
The Fire Puppet's elemental body made it so that it was not afraid of this kind of physical attack.
With a height of three meters, it had the advantage of attacking range. With a long punch, Sodelor, who was close to it, was once again forced back a few steps. Then, it followed up with a "Ka La" sound, smashing Wellington's shield into pieces. Then, it punched both of Wellington's arms, causing a large area of flames to explode …
During this time, the Fire Puppet was hit by Roddy's three arrows, Sodelor's two slashes, and Wellington's Battle Aura impact. Its body was covered in countless wounds, and its head was like a hedgehog, but the attack speed of its fists did not decrease at all.
"Don't take it head-on, change the target!"
Roddy immediately shouted for a change of tactics. He knew that this kind of monster with a strong resistance to physical damage was definitely the nemesis of the "Kitchen Knife Team" (referring to the team whose damage output was all physical damage). If they continued to fight head-on, they would definitely be at a disadvantage!
However, just as he finished speaking, he heard the cold laughter from the tomb —
"I can't believe … you actually dared to come to us."
When Ansadin's voice came out, Roddy's body immediately tensed up. His "Environmental Sensitivity" allowed him to immediately hear the subtle sound coming from the ground under his feet. He had already expected this and immediately used the "Leap" skill!
His body instantly jumped four meters, and as soon as he landed, more than ten bone spikes extended from the place where Roddy was just standing … If he had been one step slower, his legs would definitely have been pierced!
Roddy's heart surged with anger, and he raised his bow and aimed at the tomb. As the pale figure stepped out, the "Explosive Arrow" had already exploded in front of Ansadin!
Wellington took a step back, and after dodging the Fire Puppet's attack, he reached out his hands and pulled out his heavy sword. With an angry roar, he used a heavy slash, and the violent "Battle Aura" exploded, causing the Fire Puppet to immediately take five steps back.
While the opponent was stunned, he directly rushed towards Ansadin who had a "Bone Shield" floating in front of him. At this moment, the "Ghost Knight"'s aura exploded, and two shadows appeared at the same time on the left and right, and three long swords instantly slashed down!
But this "Necromancer" fearlessly tore a scroll — the Bone Shield in front of him that had just blocked the "Explosive Arrow" suddenly had four more sides, and firmly protected him.
"Ka ka ka!"
The sound of the long swords cutting through the bones rang out, but Ansadin stood behind the shield unscathed. The gloomy chanting of the spell was mixed with Wellington's angry roar:
"White Bone Spear!"
Wellington's forehead was full of sweat … The sense of danger made his hair stand up, and his body immediately dodged to the side. But halfway through his action, a fiery aura enveloped his whole body from behind — the Fire Puppet's two giant hands stretched out from the side and directly grabbed Wellington tightly, completely restricting his movement!
Ansadin's eyes were still gloomy, and he glanced at Roddy who was raising his bow and shooting at him from afar. He actually completely ignored his attack, and then raised his magic wand and pointed it directly at Wellington's chest. The sharp Bone Spear directly shot towards the opponent's heart …
His battle IQ was definitely not low, and he knew who was the strongest in this group of people. So from the beginning, he used the Fire Puppet to attract the firepower, and then when the opponent was tired of fighting back, he would get close to Wellington to reveal a flaw, and then directly kill him!
Who would have thought that a Necromancer would dare to fight with a Heavy Armor Knight face to face?
