This is interesting!
There was an unexpected gain. Rhodes originally thought this system only had one Necropolis, and he would never be able to get anything else in the future. It seems that's not the case!
If there was only one city and he couldn't enjoy other things in the heroes of might and magic world, it would indeed be hard to get by, because the Magic Guild learns one less advanced spell for every level it upgrades.
At level 5, you can only learn one spell; at level 4, you can only learn two spells; at level 3, you can learn three; at level 2, you can learn four.
If he learned a trash spell, it would be useless!
This random outdoor resource is indeed very good. If it's just wood, gold, or other rare resources, then it's not very valuable, but if it can randomly generate some outdoor buildings, then he's made a huge profit.
After all, anything is possible, isn't it?
The Azeroth World has many dungeon bosses, and these guys should all be considered hero-level units. Rhodes can definitely go deal with these dungeon bosses in the future!
Without further ado, Rhodes directly chose to use his first lottery chance.
"Starting random map reward: A Stargazer appears outside your city. Each hero can visit it once to increase one point of Power!"
The item that appeared this time is good! The Power attribute is very important for heroes; it can increase the power of spells used.
Currently, Rhodes has two points of Power!
If it increases to 3 points, the power of Magic Divine Arrow will increase to 40, and other spells will also be enhanced.
And most importantly, all future heroes can visit this special building once.
Without any hesitation, Rhodes first clicked on the map, then visited the Stargazer himself, gaining one point of Power bonus.
Afterward, he had Straker enter the hero town, then leave the city to visit the Stargazer, also gaining one point of Power bonus.
This battle yielded far more than just these items. First, Straker leveled up, gaining one free attribute point, which Rhodes decided to save for later instead of rushing to choose.
His own attribute point was, without question, added to Knowledge. Now, Magic Power is king. Rhodes' Magic Power has already increased from 40 to 50 points.
In addition, Straker also received a skill upgrade: either upgrading his Basic Necromancy to Intermediate, or upgrading his innate Basic Magic Resistance to Intermediate Magic Resistance.
No other new skill branches appeared. Rhodes thought for a moment and decided to choose to upgrade Necromancy!
For heroes of the Undead Race, Necromancy is everything. For example, in this battle, Rhodes' and Straker's Necromancy both took effect simultaneously.
They summoned over 200 Skeleton Soldier, and with his remaining 300-plus Skeleton Soldier, the total number directly soared to over 500!
As for himself, the options were to upgrade Basic Necromancy to Intermediate, or learn a Basic Ballistics skill!
Without any hesitation, Rhodes directly chose to upgrade Necromancy. Damn it! His skill tree couldn't go astray!
Ballistics is completely useless in this world. Who the hell wants to control their catapult during a siege battle?
So, choosing Necromancy is safer. Later, there's also Earth Magic and Eagle Eye to rely on. He hopes the upcoming skills will be more powerful, like rolling one of the four elemental magics, or divine skills like Magic Power or Wisdom Spell.
After clearing the spoils of war, Rhodes gathered his Skeleton Soldier and returned to Hearthglen.
Arthas' army arrived in Hearthglen almost at the same time as Rhodes, or rather, Arthas' army returned a bit earlier than Rhodes.
"Lord Rhodes, you're finally back! I just heard you fought that Lich!
How did it go? Who won?" Arthas immediately rushed over and asked anxiously when he saw Rhodes.
Knowing that Rhodes had rushed out alone to duel the Lich, Arthas was very anxious, even planning to lead his army out to search for him, but then he saw Rhodes return completely unharmed.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Prince. My being alive proves that the Lich failed. The Holy Light guided me, and I ultimately achieved victory with the power of the Holy Light," Rhodes said.
"Holy Light protect us! It's good that you're alright, Lord Rhodes. This time, we severely crippled the Undead," Arthas nodded and said.
During the battle with the Undead army last night, Rhodes did not cast Holy Light Spells, perhaps to ambush the enemy Lich.
How could that raven have known that my master, besides possessing superb magic, also wielded the Holy Light, making quick work of Undead creatures?
"I believe there won't be any more fierce battles today, at least. I'll guard this place.
Prince Arthas, go back and rest! You haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night," Rhodes said.
"Yes! Prince Arthas, you eliminated the infected Undead forces outside, and Lord Rhodes slew the Lich here.
The Undead army must have suffered heavy losses. Now you really should rest to ensure you have the stamina to deal with any sudden situations," Adjutant Falric also advised.
Arthas nodded at the two of them. To be honest, he was currently relying on sheer willpower to hold on; his body was indeed extremely fatigued.
After further discussing the defense of Hearthglen, Arthas returned to the room arranged for him to rest.
That night, only a few scattered Undead forces attacked. The local garrison easily defeated them, and almost no Undead came in the latter half of the night.
Everyone finally got some much-needed rest. On the morning of the third day, as dawn broke, another terrifying Undead legion came to attack the city.
Rhodes and Arthas, now fully rested, immediately plunged into battle. This time, Rhodes did not use Magic Divine Arrow, but continuously cast Holy Light Flash to inflict damage on high-level Undead units.
The Undead's offensive that day was quite fierce. Arthas, Rhodes, and the defenders held on for an entire day, almost purely on willpower.
Finally, in the evening of that day, a loud sound of hooves echoed outside Hearthglen, and the Knights of the Silver Hand arrived.
In the game, they held out for thirty minutes, but in reality, Rhodes and Arthas resisted the Undead army here for a full three days.
"Charge! Knights of the Silver Hand, destroy these evil Undead!" Leading the charge was a tall man in golden armor, wielding a warhammer.
The newcomer was Uther the Lightbringer, and beside Uther, many other Paladins also charged in to strike at the Undead.
"The Holy Light protects us."
"Purify the Undead."
The participation of the Knights of the Silver Hand completely turned the tide of the battle, and the Undead began to rout.
