Assault of the Wolf Pack

A wolf died, but instead of instilling fear in the remaining wolves, it only ignited their rage.

Without waiting for the Wolf King's command, after the fallen Skeleton Warriors died, the remaining wolves rushed towards Rhode. However, due to the narrowness of the passage, only a few wolves could approach Rhode at the same time.

Just as Rhode swung his sword at the wolf in the front, the Ghouls from behind also arrived.

The Ghouls began to attack the wolves in the rear, and the Wolf Pack immediately fell into chaos. Some wolves still prepared to attack Rhode, while others turned back to tear at the Ghouls.

Due to the chaos in the Wolf Pack, the pressure Rhode faced suddenly lessened.

From behind, a wolf had just bitten a Ghoul's thigh. Before it could start tearing, the Ghoul clawed down at the wolf, leaving several bloody marks on its body, completely ignoring the wolf's bite.

Any player with a bit of common sense would not trade damage with a Ghoul. When dealing with Undead Creatures, trading damage is not very effective, especially with heavily-built Undead Creatures like Ghouls. The only way is to find ways to attack their weaknesses.

But it was different for the Wolf Pack. The wolves only knew how to attack the enemy in front of them, trying to kill the Ghouls by biting their prey, relying on their past experiences.

In the passage, Rhode slashed down with his sword, forcing back a wolf that was lunging at his leg. He then swept his blade sideways, injuring another wolf on the side, before raising his foot and kicking the wolf in its vulnerable nose.

The wolf that was kicked visibly weakened. Not only was it injured, but the suppression of its morale also made it dare not attack Rhode again. Since there were other wolves behind it at the entrance, it could not retreat and could only be stuck in the middle of the passage.

Rhode continued to suppress the two wolves in front of him, but only injured them, making them hesitant to advance for the time being, without directly killing them.

Rhode planned to let them get stuck there. The Wolf Pack behind could clearly not defeat the Ghouls. As long as he could hold them off like this, he could kill this pack of wolves with no losses.

The Wolf Pack wanted to retreat but could not break through the defense of the Ghouls behind. They wanted to attack him, but the entrance was blocked by the injured wolves...

For a moment, Rhode completely gained the upper hand, and the Wolf Pack was completely suppressed.

Some wolves had already fallen behind, killed by the Ghouls before they could kill them while biting, and the rest of the wolves were not faring any better.

The Wolf King also realized this. If they continued to drag this out, only death awaited the Wolf Pack.

The Wolf King let out a howl. Unlike the previous howls, which were clearly for command, this howl caused a sudden change in the Wolf Pack.

From behind, the wolves attacking the Ghouls suddenly went berserk, their eyes turning blood red. Ignoring the Ghouls' attacks, they frantically bit at the Ghouls' legs.

In front of Rhode, the injured wolves that had been hesitant to advance seemed to have their bloodlust ignited. Their eyes were filled with blood, and the fear of death was gone. They opened their mouths wide, revealing their sharp teeth, and lunged at Rhode.

With Rhode's expert-level swordsmanship, he was naturally not injured by such an attack. Rhode thrust his sword forward, piercing the wolf's mouth at an incredibly fast speed, almost inserting the entire sword.

Since the sword was deeply embedded in the wolf's body, Rhode could not pull it out immediately. He then directly took out a sword from his Space Ring and slashed at the next wolf.

Except for the small portion of wolves biting the Ghouls, the rest of the wolves also charged at Rhode, completely disregarding any potential harm.

"Leadership Technique..."

Seeing the Wolf Pack's reaction, Rhode knew that if he could see the Wolf King's attributes, it would definitely have the special skill Leadership Technique.

Leadership Technique is a skill used by generals, which can boost the morale of their subordinates. When used actively, it can put subordinates into a state of frenzy for a period of time.

There is a limit to the number of times it can be used actively, which increases with the level of Leadership Technique.

For players who want to lead subordinates, Leadership Technique is a special skill that must be learned. Otherwise, it is very easy for morale to collapse, especially when at a disadvantage or when leading alien creatures.

Undead Creatures do not have this restriction. Undead Creatures are the dead controlled by Necromancers. Even if a Necromancer wants Undead Creatures to die, they will obey. Morale has no effect whatsoever. Therefore, Leadership Technique is useless to Necromancers.

Rhode estimated that the Wolf King's Leadership Technique would not be at a very high level. Otherwise, it would have used it when facing the Skeleton Warriors, instead of only using it when on the verge of desperation.

At this moment, a small portion of the Wolf Pack, having fallen into a frenzy, began to attack the surrounding Ghouls wildly. The other majority of the wolves, following the Wolf King's orders, charged towards Rhode in the tomb chamber.

No longer fearing the damage caused by Rhode's blade, even if they were to die, they wanted to reach Rhode's feet for a bite. With such a fanatical belief, the Wolf Pack began to attack Rhode madly.

If at first the Wolf Pack still knew to leave room for evasion, only allowing two wolves in at a time, now the Wolf Pack had lost its reason. They completely disregarded the space in the passage, only wanting to attack the enemy in front of them.

This type of attack undoubtedly pushed Rhode's swordsmanship to its limit. Since the enemies had no room to dodge, Rhode didn't even need to consider the angle of his swing. He only needed to swing downwards to hit the enemy.

Compared to an open area, the terrain here was extremely advantageous to Rhode.

Rhode's blade swung continuously, and the number of wolf corpses in front of him gradually increased.

Just as Rhode pierced a wolf in front of him with his sword, the Wolf King, observing from the rear, made a move and began to gather magical energy.

Rhode, who had been paying attention to the Wolf King, sensed it immediately, without even needing a warning from reconnaissance. Seeing the Magic Arrow shooting towards him, Rhode flicked his sword back, sending a wolf corpse flying into the air to block the Magic Arrow.

The wolf corpse in the air shattered into pieces, and blood rained down. His Strength attribute of 15 allowed Rhode to perform such an action.

At this time, the frenzy brought about by Leadership Technique began to fade, but it still drove the wolves to charge at Rhode. Rhode continued to attack the wolves in front of him while keeping an eye on the Wolf King's movements.

The wolf corpses piled up at Rhode's feet. What Rhode found strange was that until there were no wolves left in the passage, the Wolf King, whom he had been guarding against, did not make another move.

Rhode looked towards the rear. At this moment, the Wolf King was fighting with the Ghouls.

To say they were fighting together was not quite accurate, as it was mostly the Ghouls clawing at the Wolf King, while the Wolf King was mostly twisting and dodging.

As the Wolf King dodged, with all the Ghouls surrounding it, no matter how much it dodged, it could not completely avoid injury. There were multiple scratch marks left by the Ghouls on its body.

While dodging, the Wolf King focused on charging towards a place the Ghouls could not reach. Rhode knew that the Wolf King wanted to escape.
