Chapter 2583: survivor

"They are all dead?"
Looking around the messy underground battlefield, Rhodes asked with a frown.
"Yes, Master." Farezer answered Rhodes' question, "Those mercenaries, or angels, saw that there was no hope of rescuing the hostages, so they killed them first."
Rhode stroked his forehead. Although the situation was not good for him, he still wanted to praise the enemy's methods.
Kill those hostages, let yourself lose the bargaining chip to threaten Jenny, and at the same time blame everything on yourself, further tie Jenny to Bracada's side, and take this opportunity to provoke Jenny against the necromancer. Hate, this is undoubtedly the perfect strategy.
Rhodes should have thought of this long ago, but he focused all his attention on assassinating Yin Lai, and underestimated the enemy's determination. Rhodes dared to use the hostages as bait to attract the main force of the enemy to come to the rescue, thus creating an opportunity for the assassination of Yin Lai. It was also based on the premise that the enemies would not harm the hostages. He didn't expect those mercenaries to play cards according to the routine.
"They were not reborn in the death realm." Rhode said in a deep voice, and picked up the blade he used from the corpse of a mercenary. The surface of the blade was cold and gleaming, and if you stared carefully, you could see the faint light flowing. It is a holy light, not limited by the ability to ban magic, "The power of the Holy Inquisition... It seems that the Erathians have found a way to deal with the undead army."
Not only were the hostages killed by the mercenaries, but even the dead mercenaries were not resurrected in the Death Domain. This was a new discovery. The Erathians seem to have found a way to resist the death field, and the specific reason is unknown to Rhodes.
"After I found out that they killed the hostages, I immediately ordered that those human mercenaries be captured alive, thinking that doing so might help the master," Fareze reported.
Rhode shook his head. After learning that all the hostages were dead, the angry Jenny would not listen to the words of the captured mercenary. Even if the mercenary told everything, she would only think that it was Rhode's trick, and the consequences of everything would still be the same. will be borne by Rhodes.
In the previous battle, Rhodes felt the restraint of the medical field on undead creatures. Unlike the magic field, the damage effect of the medical field is only for undead creatures, but it can bring a strong recovery ability to normal creatures. Ni sticks to the magic city, and Rhodes' plan may only be postponed.
Rhodes sighed deeply: "Isn't there a hostage still alive?"
"After the inventory of the undead, all the hostages in the Forbidden Demon Realm died, and none were spared." Falezer shook his head.
Rhode was very helpless. In order to prevent the hostages from escaping, he had to keep all the hostages within the scope of the forbidden magic ball. Once outside the scope of the forbidden magic ball, the hostages could cast a spell to escape, using all the hostages as bait, which was also Rhodes helpless. Act of.
Although Rhodes also hid some hostages deeper underground, those people were also found by the mercenaries who came to carry out the mission. The mercenaries were unable to rescue them, and in the end had no choice but to kill them.
Things seem to be a foregone conclusion, Rhodes can only take the blame for killing the hostages and face the angry hero Jenny. While Rhode was calculating the mages, he was also calculated by those mages.
Rhodes never thought of killing those hostages. Killing them can only gain insignificant experience points and add a few ordinary undead creatures, but if they are allowed to live, Rhodes can use this to threaten Jenny and achieve greater However, his conspiracy was sabotaged by the enemy.
On the side, when he heard Rhode's words, Agran, who had just come off the battlefield, seemed to have thought of something. He didn't care to wipe off the blood on his body, so he immediately reported to Rhode: "Master, it seems that another hostage has survived. , she was not detained in the forbidden realm, but was detained elsewhere."
"What?" Rhode's eyes lit up, "Take me to see that hostage."
Agran immediately took the command and led Rhodes through space to the peak of Chanzel Snow Mountain in the westernmost part of Bracada. After crossing the continuous snow mountain, he arrived at Krulod, where the barbarians lived.
The inside of the cold snow-capped mountain has a unique cave. The belly of the mountain is excavated into a warm magical plain, and the peak of the snow-capped mountain is a large area of ​​ruins. There used to be a group of giant dragons, but now the dragons have left their nests, and only the undead can be seen.
Rhodes had been here before, and it was here that he and Yinnota got to know each other, but what made Rhodes puzzled was, why did Agran bring him here?
"Are there any hostages here? Why are the hostages held here?" Rhode asked inexplicably.
"Master, have you forgotten?" Agland reminded side by side, "You said you didn't want to see that weeping elf, as your faithful servant, of course, I must make sure that she will not appear in front of your eyes. It happened that there was an abandoned prison here, so I took her here and locked her up."
Rhode scratched his head, as if that was the case, and then frowned: "This place is not within the effective scope of the Forbidden Demon Realm at all, and the prison here is prepared for giant creatures, and it can't contain human-sized creatures at all. The hostages are here, I'm afraid she would have already run away."
"She didn't dare to do that," Agland replied, "I told her that if she dared to escape, or if she cast any spells indiscriminately, I would kill ten apprentices. Even if there is no realm of forbidden magic, no prison made of iron The door, the cell in her heart will imprison her here."
"Well, you're doing pretty well." Rhodes commented.
"Master has won the prize, I learned it from you." Agran answered modestly.
Soon, in the ice prison built by the holy dragon, Rhodes saw the silver-haired elf.
The holy dragon who once lived here built this ice prison with his own icy dragon breath. The ice prison was filled with biting cold air, and Yi Luo's current body also felt a faint chill.
Agland, who was accustomed to the high temperature of hell, even put his hands in front of him and kept rubbing his arms. If Rhodes hadn't been by his side, he couldn't help but ignite flames all over his body to fight the ice cold that went deep into his bones.
In the prison, the silver-haired elf was lying on the frozen ground, her body curled into a ball, and her hands were wrapped around her knees to preserve the low temperature. Her face was pale, there was not even a trace of blood on her lips, and there were still some ice stains on her cheeks, and the whole person seemed to be asleep, and there was no breath at all.
"Master, she..." Agland showed a surprised look.
"She's still alive." After feeling it for a while, Rhodes immediately felt relieved, which also saved him a lot of trouble.
After confirming the only remaining hostage, Agran immediately retired, while Rhodes looked at the elf who fell into a coma and fell into contemplation.
