"Lord Rhodes, Speaker Erica, please come over."
Rhode, who was staying in the scientific research center and observing the charging of the Titan's arrow, was suddenly told such information by his subordinates.
Rhode scratched his head, and didn't know what Erica was going to do. Judging from the mental imprint, she didn't seem to be in the city, but went to the area east of Bracada, near Verning.
The figure traveled through the flames, and soon Rhode saw Erica standing in the snow, and Rowling beside her who was waving at him.
"What are you doing?" Rhode asked curiously, and nodded to Rowling at the same time. She followed her own advice and came to study with Speaker Erica.
"The people of the Magic Eye Organization have found their traces, and they have been controlled by the members of the legion." Erica pointed to a group of people who were kneeling in the distance.
Rhodes looked at the group of people. They were a group of mages with a low rank. The strongest one was only fifth-ranked.
"They're nothing special, just kill them." Rhode shrugged and said, after transforming this group of people into vampire ghouls, their comprehensive abilities will be greatly improved and they will become qualified members of the undead legion.
"Kill them? No, we have to accept them and let them become members of the kingdom of the dead as living people." Erica smiled and pointed out the error in Rhodes' words.
Rhode stared at her, waiting for her explanation.
"Intimidating the enemy with death and fear will only make the enemy solidify into one piece. This is not what we want to see. We have to completely divide them from the inside, so that there is a gap within them, and there is no way to be united." Erica He explained, "Accepting these people is only the first step. Soon more and more Bracadas will surrender to us, and even the Magic Guild can't stop them. But if the result of surrender is death, I I don't think they would want to do that."
Rhode frowned slightly, his abilities were all for the purpose of creating stronger undead creatures, and he didn't consider accepting surrender: "If I don't kill them, where will my undead army come from?"
Erica blinked: "Even if you double the existing army of undead, will they be able to break through the realm of the hero Jane?"
Rhodes was silent, but he had to admit that what Erica said made sense. However, where should the experience points for level-up be obtained? Rhodes didn't say it explicitly, but changed the subject and asked, "How can you conclude that the Bracadians are willing to surrender."
"My identity is one aspect. I am the second-generation president of the Magic Guild and the daughter of the Mage God. They are willing to believe in me. More importantly, there are many Bracadians who just want to live, and they don't care. Is it the Magic Guild, the Academy of Magic, or other forces that rule them, do you think one of them looks like a hero?" Erica said, pointing to the shivering Bracadas on their knees.
Rhode looked at those people and saw the trembling and fear, anxiety and numbness in their eyes. Rhode enjoyed this look very much, and I have to say that it was much better than the sad and sad look that the silver-haired elf looked at him last time.
Seeing that Rhodes acquiesced to his approach, Erica came to the leader of those mages.
"What's your name?" Erica asked, pulling up the man who was kneeling on the ground.
"My lord... my name is Bonny." The mage said tremblingly, for fear that a wrong answer would lead to death.
"Surrender, Bonnie." Erica whispered, "You will become a member of the kingdom of the dead, and enjoy the right to be reborn as the dead after death. After the battle, you will live the same life as before, Just get used to the undead creatures around you."
Bonnie was stunned for a moment, and then asked excitedly: "You...don't you plan to transform us?"
Erica smiled, then looked at Rhodes not far away: "The Lord of the Undead is magnanimous, not only you, he has decided to accept all of you, and you can all live safely in the kingdom of the dead."
Hearing this, the nearby low-level mages became restless. They, who were already desperate, suddenly heard the news, and suddenly cried like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw. They praised Rhode's name loudly, Treat Rhodes as the savior who saved them, completely forgetting that Rhodes is the mastermind behind the desperation.
"Long live the Lord of the Undead!"
"Praise the Lord of the Undead..."
Hearing the praises of the low-level mages, Rhode's mouth twitched. If he could choose, he would prefer that people feel fear when they heard his name, rather than praise like this.
After confirming the treatment of those people, Erica found some subordinates, and after giving them a few words, she let them leave with the mage.
"You are weakening me."
After a while, Rhode said slightly dissatisfied to Erica when all the other subordinates left and only Rowling was still waiting.
"This is for long-term consideration, Your Majesty Rhodes." Erica smiled, "The ability to fully awaken the dead should be a gift. In my era, undead spells are just unpopular magic. , can only transform into bloodless zombies, or undead like skeletons, magic that completely awakens the dead, or spiritualism, which only exists in theory."
"Magic? You mean reincarnation?" Rhode seemed to think of something, and then said the name of the fifth-order magic.
Erica nodded: "It used to be the method of angels. It seems that my descendants have not been idle. After cracking the magic, it has become an unfamiliar method of the magic guild. Compared with reincarnation and rebirth, your death The scope of the field is wider, and it is completely free to use, which is of course a gift."
Erica stared at him and said: "In the field of death, you can retain memory and give any creature the power of immortality. This is an irresistible temptation, but other people in the world do not realize this, Only treat undead creatures as terrifying and unclean creatures. Your Majesty Lord, you are used to conquering your enemies with death and fear, and I prefer to subdue your enemies with profit. As soon as the news spreads, the Bracadians who have surrendered will appreciate it. The spectacle beyond death, they will forget their hatred and obey your commands. You will be a god in the realm of the dead, just like my father Gwen."
"The power of eternal life? Your statement sounds a bit like..." Rhode said in a low voice.
"The City of Clouds is also called Heaven." Erica took over the words and said, "Guerasia used this method to maintain the existence of the Holy See. Facts have proved that this is indeed effective until the fall of the stigmata."
Rhode fell into deep thought for a while, and Rowling was also thinking for him, but Erica's thoughts were quickly interrupted: "Let His Majesty Rhode think about it alone, let's leave first, my deputy."
After speaking, Erica opened a light green portal and looked at her with a smile. Rowling heard her joking, her face turned red, and then entered the portal to leave. Before leaving, she did not forget to take a look at Rhodes who stayed in the same place and thought deeply.
