the last king of darkness

Chapter 119 The Past and the Beginning

The Kuroshio, one of the many disasters that the Trorian Kingdom has to face.

When it came, an infinite number of monsters surged from the depths of the darkness, like a black tide, hitting Trorian's defense line, bringing great pressure to human beings.

The cause of formation is unknown, and its research has always been one of the important subjects of the Trorian Kingdom.

On the top of Jianguan Fortress, the instructor Dark Leaf is telling the students the characteristics of the Kuroshio and Trorian's traditional methods of dealing with the Kuroshio.

This is a rare opportunity. After Steel Hand announced that Jianguan Fortress was on combat readiness, all fighters took turns to guard in strict accordance with the assigned order to ensure that there were enough fighters on the city wall at [-] hours a day.

An emergency team and a support team are reserved to deal with emergencies.

At this point in time, the city walls happened to be full of students, and Anye also took the opportunity to start giving lectures, hoping that these novices who were just showing their feet could acquire a little more useful knowledge before the battle.

Rhodes looked into the distance while listening to the instructor's class.

Under the shroud of the light of the guardian fire, the majestic Jianguan gives people a very safe feeling.

The [-]-yard range illuminated by the fire is like a protective shield, keeping all dangers out. Once something weird steps into the fire, it will ignite a raging fire until it is reduced to ashes.

This feeling is like primitive humans raising a bonfire to drive away wild animals.

The only fire is their home.

And this towering fortress adds to that feeling.

It is a hundred yards long and ninety yards high, which is about the level of a fifteen-story building. The top wall can accommodate at least four carriages in parallel, and there are three huge bed crossbows standing beside the wall.

On both sides are taller dead mountains, which is the only canyon.

Such an unbreakable fortress is actually at the end of the defense line. Rhodes suddenly felt that he was overqualified. It should be at the forefront, facing the threat from the depths of the darkness.

Many students have the same idea as Rhodes.

However, when they asked questions to the instructor, Dark Leaf just smiled slightly.

"Jianguan used to be the front line of the kingdom. Every time the king city crusades against the depths of darkness, it starts from Jianguan, just like a long sword unsheathed, so it is called Jianguan."

The students were all amazed, and Beowuld asked in disbelief: "If Jianguan is at the front line, the inner defense circle has retreated behind the old city. How can our land be so small?"

"That's right." Caramon shouted: "With so many of us, wouldn't most of us starve to death?"

Dark Leaf showed a strange smile, this expression Rhodes is very familiar with, it is like this whenever the elders explain the past to him.

"Before the new king took office, our kingdom was only so big, and there were not so many people. The theory that the fire is about to go out, and the human race is about to perish, was prevalent in the king's city. The fact that Trorian is weakened cannot be concealed."

"Whenever the conquest legion sets out from Jianguan, the welcome is not blessing or encouragement, but indifference and blank eyes, thinking that they are going to die, they are provoking monsters in the dark depths, and they are pushing human beings to the brink of extinction .”

"At that time, people's biggest dream was to hold Jianguan, build more fortresses like Jianguan, and seal human beings away from facing the dangerous outside world, enjoying the afterglow of the holy fire."

"At that time, who could have imagined that the new king had only been in office for 20 years, and Jianguan became the last line of defense, and 29 of the [-] psionic generators were removed. Can’t attend the high-level meeting, newcomers like you can also reinforce Jianguan, and fight against powerful enemies together with the warriors guarding Jianguan.”

There was silence on the city wall, and the students were dazzled by the sound.

Although Instructor Darkleaf didn't say a word, they could imagine the torrent of turbulent years, such an epic of glorious victory.

"Then we are now the most powerful period of the Trorian Kingdom?" A student asked excitedly.

Dark Leaf shook her head seriously.

"No, the control range of the Kingdom of Trorian has been changing over the years. According to the history we have unearthed and the ruins we have inspected, Trorian was far more powerful than it is now. The Ash Digger School has proved a The remains of the fortress thousands of miles away were built by the previous Trorian dynasty, but that dynasty was destroyed in an unknown cataclysm, and most of the historical materials have been lost.”

These words poured a basin of cold water on the heads of the students, and extinguished the flames that had just ignited in their hearts to create a new era for mankind.

Today's Trorian is already very powerful in their eyes, and its glorious history has given it a layer of glory of victory, as if as long as it continues to move forward, mankind will win the final victory.

But if the dynasty much stronger than it is destroyed, what is the point of their efforts?

Anye glanced at the students with gray faces, and then showed that strange smile, he said quietly:

"The past is just history, the future is uncertain, and only the present is the gift given to us by fire."

"We will sum up the reasons for all our failures, and follow the correct path, step by step, towards the final victory."

"Lightning will eventually shake the world, and we will gain what we lost."

The faces of the students showed brilliance again. The difference from before was that this brilliance faded away from the glitz and was much more stable.

Dark Leaf smiled slightly, and when he was about to say more, suddenly, he and Rhodes shouted almost at the same time: "Here we come!"

Rhodes gave him a surprised look.

Dark Leaf smiled faintly:
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I am also a full-fledged clairvoyant, but little Rhodes seems to be slightly stronger than me."

His voice sank.

"Caramon, immediately notify the operational command room and request the emergency response and support teams to prepare. Beowuld, Raistlin, Annabelle, go to bed and wait for my order. Everyone else, follow the established tactics!"

The 12 people were immediately scattered on the wide city wall, appearing very sparse.

The huge bed crossbow made a loud cracking sound, adjusted its angle, and aimed at the wasteland of corpses outside the sword pass.

Rhodes was a little nervous. In his line of sight, in the darkness beyond the firelight, there was a huge black shadow moving towards them quickly.

It seems that the solidified spiritual energy is distributed on the surface of its soul like armor, and its soul wave presents a kind of strong oscillation that he has never seen before, and the words derived from the traces of its soul wave are all messy.

The eyes of the soul can't recognize the monster, this is the first time Rhodes has seen such a situation.

Suddenly, Anye yelled: "A high-level reaction ahead! Seventh-level psionic wave, it's a fierce-level monster, level-one battle preparation!"

The next moment, the black shadow stood up, the spiritual energy in his body boiled, and a strong black light shot out from his head, heading straight for Rhodes who was staring at the messy lines on his soul on the city wall.
