The possibility of being flanked is extremely low.
Ultimately, it can only be attributed to NPCs being NPCs, stubborn-minded, only caring about the enemies in front of them, ignoring the abnormal behavior of the Undead until the Undead's proactive attack really hits them before they know to fight back.
"Where is this?"
Before I could finish my Huanqu's complacency and complaints, I was stunned.
The ground was scorching hot, piercing through the soles of my shoes and drilling into the soles of my feet, as if standing on a hot iron plate.
Looking up around, I saw nothing but scorched earth, the ground charred with occasional sparks, and even the whole space was pitch black, as if plunged into the aftermath of an extinguished hell.
Why didn't I respawn back at the War Throne? Could there be a bug?
But as my Huanqu's gaze moved forward and saw the ruins of the demolished Dwarf Temple, my heart suddenly started pounding wildly.
"Fuck!"
