the last king of darkness

Chapter 113 Big brother is awesome

The instructor returned the command of the team to Beowuld and Raistlin, and changed his status to an ordinary player.

Both Beowwood and Raistlin were experienced captains who had performed combat missions outside the city, and quickly assigned their tactical positions:

Lantern bearers are in the middle of the team, researchers and scouts are on the second floor, long-range fire output and controllers are on the third floor, and short-range combatants are on the outermost floor.

Once everything has been arranged properly, let's go.

Jianguan is [-] miles away from Wangcheng, and they plan to arrive before the eve of the second day, and rest in the old city for one night on the way.

In other words, they need to travel six hundred miles in two daytimes.

And the way to travel is actually by walking.

No one was surprised. Beowwood used a crystal with complex engravings to confirm the position and direction, and everyone started marching.

The psychic energy resonated through all of them, making their steps quick, and Raistlin looked up and down the line, adjusting the pace so that they all walked in unison.

A long journey is not an explosive sprint, the most important thing is the rational use of spiritual and physical energy.

To the surprise of both Raistlin and Beowwood, Rhodes, who got the lowest score in the speed test, showed extraordinary stamina and stamina. His pace did not change throughout the day, and many The energetic student at the beginning was exhausted later on, and even Beowuld, who is known for his speed and stamina, was struggling a bit, but the student with the lowest score still seemed to be walking in a garden.

Instructor Anye praised: "Your pace is steady and you have enough stamina. I didn't expect your psychic power to last so long."

The old blind Moore opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth: "Yes, much better than some people."

The knight Bach didn't speak, but there was approval in his eyes.

Beowuld glanced at the crystal in his hand and said, "The astrolabe shows that we are still seventy miles away from the old city, and we are much slower than planned."

Raistlin said, "There's one more hour until evening, everyone work hard, Iger, and those who are exhausted will trouble you."

"no problem."

Iger snapped his fingers, and two streams of white smoke sprang out from his body, rolling up the little fat man Duoduo and Caramon who were about to collapse from exhaustion.

Everyone quickened their pace and finally arrived at the old city before evening.

When they saw the light on the old mottled city wall, the students couldn't help cheering.

Most of the people came outside the royal city for the first time, and they were not only physically exhausted, but also mentally depressed.

Traveling outside the king's city was like a nightmare that kept repeating. There was nothing in the surroundings except for the thick black fog that kept rolling.

You can't see the sun, the moon, or the distance and the sky. The black fog is like an eternal theme song, covering all noises, leaving only this world illuminated by fire.

There seems to be countless horrors lurking outside the dense fog, and the only comfort is the teammates around.

The repeated scenes and exhaustion made the spirit very depressed, and the light of civilization finally seen made the depression rush out like a flood. Many students' eye sockets were moist, and they felt that they had finally returned home.

Beowuld and Raistlin also heaved a sigh of relief, their first combat mission as captain also made them somewhat nervous.

Overall, this journey was relatively smooth, and there was no danger encountered. The sporadic monsters encountered quickly burned up as soon as they entered the fire. Most of them were burned to ashes within a second or two, and a few did not insist on touching the team. the outermost layer.

Since the road is very flat in the red soil plain, there is no unmanageable straggler situation. If they are forced to camp in the wild, the danger will be much greater.

The defenders of the old city opened the gates and welcomed them in.

Beorwood revealed his identity and purpose to the captain of the guard, and was quickly settled properly. The team members finally had hot food and hot water, and many people who had been suffocating all the way were finally released.

If you are forced to defecate in the wild, the captain will not let you go to a hidden place to solve it alone. The team members will form a circle at most to help you block it.

Not only embarrassing, but also affect the marching rhythm.

Everyone rested overnight and set off on time the next morning.

Time is very important here. Although the sun cannot be seen, the influence of the sun is still there. After evening, when the sun sets, it is time for the fire to dim and monsters to be active. It is not until the sun rises in the morning that everything returns to normal.

Therefore, outside the royal city, it is generally not allowed to travel at night time and night time. It is necessary to find a human stronghold or stay where it is.

Beowwood specifically asked everyone to align their pocket watches, and there must be no error of one second.

After leaving the old city, everyone fell into boundless darkness again.

This section of the journey is much more difficult than yesterday.

Leaving the old city, we left the relatively safe red soil plain. The road became rough and the monsters became more numerous. Soon there were monsters that could rush to the front of the team with the fire.

Although they were wiped out in an instant, it would not only affect the marching rhythm, but also consume the power of the Guardian Fire.

If they accidentally ran into a group of monsters, it would not only mean that they would fall into a fierce battle, but also consume a lot of the power of the Guardian Fire.

If the power of the Guardian Fire is exhausted, the fire will go out.

This not only means that they are in great danger and rekindling the fire of protection, but also consumes a lot of precious materials.

If the fire goes out during the execution of the task, it is a major breach of responsibility, and it will be held accountable by Wangcheng, and even investigated by the Internal Affairs Tribunal.

But fortunately, Rhodes is in the team.

The eye of the soul can see as far as two thousand yards in the black mist, and the line of sight is in the shape of a light cone. Rhodes can see the soul waveforms of all monsters within the light cone at a glance.

Under his command, the party avoided almost all large monster swarms.

The few monsters encountered and the precise command even reached the level of "move two yards to the left and three steps to the right", which not only impressed all the students, but also shocked the two instructors and a teacher.

Unlike the students with less experience, the instructors and teachers are experienced, and they have performed countless missions outside the king's city.

They knew very well that after passing through the old city, the last sliver of influence of the holy flame disappeared, and this was a completely dark world, where wandering monsters emerged from the black mist at any time, or were devoured, or were swallowed, or fell into a deep sleep.

Traveling here, encountering groups of monsters is commonplace. According to their prediction, the range of the Guardian Fire will be reduced by at least half, so that the team can reach Jianguan smoothly.

But now, the edge of the flame has shrunk by about half a yard.

Moore hadn't even added phlogiston once.

All three of them focused their eyes on Rhodes, who was giving orders loudly: "Take ten steps to the left! Stop! Go ten steps forward! What a shame... Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Moore, please walk a little faster. Watch out for a wandering monster, you might lose a bit of firepower."

What surprised the teachers and instructors the most was that this young guy, who was too young, could actually see the silent monster within three hundred yards.

Once a monster sleeps, it will enter a state of silence. At this time, all its spiritual powers will not function, and its soul will enter a state of nothingness. It will not wake up until it is injured or warm life comes close.

This is almost unavoidable, and few clairvoyants can see monsters in a silent state from a distance.

And under his command, they didn't even encounter a single awakened silent monster.

Dark Leaf and Moore turned their heads to look at Bach, and asked in a low voice: "Is this the case of the complete clairvoyant in the knight order?"

Bach shook his head: "We generally don't rush on the ground, but I don't think the complete visionaries in the regiment can do it to his level."

Dark Leaf and Moore glanced at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Moore even accidentally popped his fake nystagmus out.

"This is really a baby."

He expressed their current mentality in one sentence.

Then, Rhodes found to his dismay that despite his hard work, everyone in the team was more careful with him.The most outrageous thing is that even Mina is like this. Every time he eats, she helps him unscrew the can.

Come on, don't you know that strong girls are not popular?
What everyone didn't know was that Rhode's heart was bleeding.

With so many monsters, if he met them in the sewer, the corners of his mouth would reach his ears.

But at this time, he had to work hard to direct them around.

And this group of guys didn't appreciate it, so you shouted with adoring voices: "Brother is awesome! Brother, come on!" Isn't it good?

Everyone is happy, and I am also happy. Isn't the atmosphere getting better?Leading the way can also lead better.

But not only was there no scene as imagined, on the contrary, Annabel beside him sighed: "The little brother is really too strong. Fortunately, I always thought that I was a strong clairvoyant. I couldn't even see thirty yards away when I entered the black mist. It's like a stone and wood core, the juniors are so strong, what should the seniors do?"

Rhodes laughed dryly: "Senior sister is too modest, your test score is a hundred times higher than mine."

Annabelle glanced at him and said, "Why don't you be my senior's boyfriend, my sister can protect you."

Rhode's face turned dark immediately, little girl, what are you talking about?
Before he could figure out how to answer, Mina on the side scolded: "Old woman, do you have the guts to say that? Don't you look at how old you are?"

Annabelle said angrily, "Mina, are you embarrassed to talk? Are you very young? Don't think I don't know, you are a student of the 20th class, one year older than me!"

"Hehe, so what? My age grows on my body, and your age feeds the blame."

"you!"

"What's the noise?" Beowwood and Raistlin instantly appeared in the middle of the line, and the two men separated the two women with their bodies half a body taller than everyone else.

"Let's go back and talk about anything, and don't mix personal affairs during the mission."

The two women snorted, but neither spoke.

Beowuld glanced at Rhodes, and said, "Don't make trouble, don't molest women during the mission, especially female teammates, I'll introduce you a top card in Red Square Street later."

Rhodes was startled: "Don't you hate whoring... whoring that?"

"I was joking." Beowuld turned and returned to the front of the line, but judging from the red tips of his ears, it seemed that he was not joking just now.

What an old pervert, hypocrite.

Raistlin said with a half-smile, "Rod, concentrate on showing the way, otherwise some people will explode."

Caramon was instantly angry: "I didn't explode, I didn't envy him at all! Many beautiful women begged me to be their boyfriend every day, but I ruthlessly rejected them."

Raistlin shrugged: "I didn't say who it was." He also turned and went back to the front of the team.

Rhodes sighed, thinking that it's great for you to shout a few words about big brother with adoring voices, maybe I will agree.

"Big brother is amazing."

When the voice came from behind, Rhodes was overjoyed, and when he turned his head, it was that little fat man Duoduo.

He pulled the corner of his clothes, his eyes were full of reverence.

"Thank you." Rhode forced a smile, and patted him on the shoulder. This guy didn't know where he came from, he was timid, and he wasn't very powerful, and he wasn't seen in the test.

However, there are more than 300 people in the base, and it is impossible to remember them all.

Maybe I didn't pay attention.

In this way, under the command of Rhodes, the team arrived at Jianguan very smoothly.

Although it moved and changed directions frequently, it took half an hour earlier than expected.
