the last king of darkness

Chapter 112 Let You Know My Hardness

The reinforcement team has a total of 16 people, including two instructors and a teacher.

The teacher is Old Blind Moore, and the two instructors are Dark Leaf, the instructor who assessed Rhodes' destructive power, and Bach, who once performed hunting missions with Rhodes in the sewer.

Rhodes was very impressed with his Moon Bow, just wondering if he wasn't a member of the Knights?Why did you become an instructor?

Bach was a silent middle-aged man. Facing Rhodes' question, he simply answered: "The instructors are all fighters."

Knowing that Rhodes had amnesia, Mina thought he hadn't fully recovered, so she explained: "Most teachers and instructors have military positions and will participate in combat. They come to class during the recovery period."

No wonder the college's courses are so loose... Rhodes suddenly realized that there are still a few professional teachers who dare to be affectionate.

It's no wonder that Wang Cheng is so anxious to train new fighters to join the battlefield. It's really amazing that the chief dean can keep the four-year teaching plan unchanged under such circumstances.

The group quickly got ready and set off in the hearse.

This is the first time Rhodes participated in a formal war mission.

The biggest difference from the missions in the royal city is that a new job has appeared in the reinforcement team: Lantern Carrier.

Teacher Moore took this position personally, and his lamp was also different from the one that Rhodes often hung around his waist.

The lamp is large in size, the outer layer is a grill made of gray metal, and the inner layer is thick translucent glass.

But the biggest difference is that the inside of the lamp is not a ball of light, but a tiny flame.

This reminded Rhodes of the scene of the destruction of the relocation team - among the many corpses, there was an old man holding such a lamp tightly, and its light illuminated at least a few hundred yards of space.

Most of the lights he came into contact with after that were only a few yards away.

Rhodes asked this question to Mina who was sitting beside her.

Mina was surprised: "Rhode, I really feel that your amnesia is very strange. It precisely lost a certain part of the content, but the other part was intact. The knowledge you know sometimes makes me think you are a scholar. But sometimes you are like an ignorant baby, like a traveler who came here from an unknown world."

Congratulations on discovering the truth... Rhodes replied casually: "You don't understand, people are creatures with infinite possibilities, no matter what strange things happen to them, it is understandable, I have a disease called Azhai Silent amnesia, my memories appear and disappear as the void ebbs and flows."

"Why do I feel like you made this up..."

"impossible."

Rhodes flatly denied it.

"I never lie."

Mina looked at him suspiciously, but still explained: "This is the fire of protection, and the lantern containing it is a Horcrux. When a team of more than 15 people performs tasks outside the royal city or within the defensive circle, they can apply for It travels with the team, providing us with light and shelter. Of course, under normal circumstances, the Royal City will not easily give out the fire of protection, and we belong to a very high configuration."

As soon as the words fell, the broken knowledge in Rhodes' memory was strung together.

The fire of protection is the fire that protects human beings. It can dispel the black mist and repel all derivatives born of darkness, and it is also the source of all light power.

According to the current mainstream theory of light in the royal city, it is believed that fire is bright, and the opposite of light—darkness is the black mist that covers the world.

Therefore, fire can dispel black mist, and black mist can also extinguish fire, and the original law of the world is the law of light and darkness. All existence and power in the world have their roots either in light or darkness, and the representative of light is The existing human beings, and the representatives of darkness, are the black mist and the monsters derived from it.

In general, the "afterglow" and "afterglow" in the lantern are all derived from the power of the guardian fire, so they also have the power of light, but it is much weaker than the guardian fire.

And when human beings left the royal city, they left the shelter of the holy flame. In order to avoid being eroded by the black mist, they needed to bring the guardian fire, or its derivatives.

Even the recovery of spiritual energy must be carried out within the range affected by fire.

If you use methods such as meditation to restore spiritual energy in an area without fire, your soul will be eroded and you can only rely on potions.

But inside the king's city, the monsters born from the darkness were suppressed by the holy fire and became very weak. Outside the king's city, it was reversed. The power of the fire bearer was suppressed, but the monsters were extremely powerful.

Therefore, actions outside the royal city are very dangerous.

No wonder Mina said that this is a very high configuration.

Rhodes thought.

Looks like I'm going to focus on hunting monsters.

The hearse stopped by the city gate of the outer city. It can only be used in the royal city and cannot go out of the city.

Under the huge city wall is the guard of the city defense army. Their main enemy is not a monster, but a doomsday cultist who wants to get in or out of the king's city.

The guards checked all the documents of the reinforcement team and let them go.

In the long corridor, there is only one of them alone, and the thick blue city wall has a strong sense of oppression.

Caramon couldn't help asking: "Why is there no one? I remember that there are usually many people at the city gate."

Iger scolded: "So stupid, have you forgotten what Dean Vera said? The black tide is coming."

Caramon couldn't help being a little nervous: "Then we are not very dangerous?"

Instructor Anye said: "The danger is not great. The sword is in the seventh defense area. The middle of the Dead Mountain Canyon is the end of the defense circle. The front is the Liguang Fortress, and the side is the Giant Fortress. It is far from the most dangerous area. We The mission is just a normal defense movement."

As soon as the words fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Beowuld was a little disappointed: "Without challenges, you will not become stronger."

The old blind Moore said with a smile: "Young man, there is no shortage of everything outside the king's city, but there is no shortage of challenges, so you don't have to worry."

Beowwood bowed slightly and said respectfully, "I see, Mr. Moore."

When the city gate guards pushed open the huge steel gate at least one person thick for them, Rhodes finally stepped out of the royal city after two months.

An abnormal feeling came over us, desolate, desolate, terrifying, without light, black mist rolling in, and there seemed to be countless monsters lurking in the thick darkness. When they stepped into this place, it was like falling into an endless world. dark abyss.

Until Moore walked out of the city gate and raised the lamp, the gentle light illuminated an area of ​​at least a hundred yards, and the tumbling black mist was blocked from the light, as if separated by an invisible barrier.

A black shadow on the ground howled miserably, and a raging flame ignited on its body, which turned into a pool of ashes in an instant.

A little fat man screamed in fright, Moore scolded angrily: "Duo Duo, shut up!"

The little fat man called Duoduo closed his mouth, but his body was still shaking.

Rhodes glanced at him, thinking: "How can there be such a timid person in the secret branch?"

Holding the lamp, Moore led the team forward for a while until the city gate and the high wall could not be seen at all.

The firelight shone alone on this small area, as if there was only this small piece of bright world left in the world. Everyone felt a sense of panic inexplicably, as if a child who had left his warm home was about to face an infinitely terrifying situation. the outside world.

Moore opened his mouth, revealing jagged yellow teeth:
"Little guys, this is the real outside world. In most cases, you don't have such a good line of sight. Your light can only illuminate a few yards around you. The black mist is within reach of you, and monsters may rush in at any time Come around you, tear your body apart with your claws, eat your flesh with your teeth, the black mist will swallow your soul, and turn your broken body into one of them."

Many students turned pale, and even some veterans tightened their clothes.

They knew that Old Blind was not threatening, but what he was saying had happened and was still happening.

Rhodes suddenly smelled a smell of urine, and looked down, it turned out that the little fat man peed in fright.

What the hell is this guy?You are so timid, why did you come here?It can be refused.

Rhodes took a step forward calmly, and pushed the little fat man to the back, blocking his sight.

A lot of gratitude +21
Humanity +2
good.Rhodes glanced at his humanity, and there are 312, not too many, if it is eroded, it may only be able to resist for a few tens of seconds.

It is necessary to paint more, human nature is not only a material, but also anti-corrosion, which is very important.

While thinking, Moore said again:
"Therefore, in the battle outside the king's city, you must be careful. No matter how insignificant the threat is, it may ruin your life. Be vigilant!"

He yelled, startling everyone.

Immediately, the instructor, Dark Leaf, began to assign duties.

Unexpectedly, neither the instructor nor the teacher served as the captain.

The captain was a bear-like strong man Beorwood, and the vice-captain was also a bear-like strong man Raistlin.

Two bear-like men stood at the front, somehow giving people a sense of security.

"All actions must follow the captain's instructions, and private actions are never allowed. This is the basic principle."

Instructor Anye said seriously.

"And you are the ones who bear the fate of the entire team. You decide to be calm, careful, cautious, decisive and quick. Indecision is the fatal injury of a leader, and rough and decisive is the most important factor in the team's downfall."

Baywood and Raistlin nodded together.

"During the mission, you can ask, discuss, and plan, but once you give an order, you must never hesitate. The team members can question, but you are not allowed to refuse to act, let alone sabotage, delay, understand?"

The students replied in unison: "Understood."

"Very well, let me explain our operational principles now. We are here to reinforce Jianguan and repair the psionic generator. Therefore, researcher Mina is our core defense target. If she loses her ability to move, the mission will be Half the battle."

All eyes were on Mina.

Mina looked calm, without any reaction.

Instructor Dark Leaf continued:

"The lantern bearer is the core of the team. When the lights go out, we are not far from death. They are our key defense targets,"

"The scouts are the eyes of the team. If we are blind, we will be very passive. Therefore, Annabelle and Rhodes are our key targets to defend."

"Here, let me mention that Annabe's personal ability is very strong. She is a secondary scout, so don't pay attention to it. Rhodes is a complete clairvoyant, the main scout, and has no ability to defend himself. It is a precious item that will break when touched , For this kind of teammate, we have to be very careful to protect him, take good care of him and love him, understand?"

In the neat "Understood" sound, in the countless gazes, in the various eyes of Raistlin, Caramon, Mina and others.

Rhode's face was almost burning.

Am I so brittle?

Damn, I'll let you all know how tough I am in a while!
