the last king of darkness

Chapter 129 Justice Must Be Executed
Liguang Fortress.

Central Bastion Hall.

Jon, the guardian of the seventh defense zone, the candidate for the king, and the number one fire bearer, is sitting behind the long table, reading the reports of the commanders and regimental leaders at all levels.

His face was very pale, with greasy black hair trembling around his cheeks, and his narrow eyes were full of gloomy expression.

As the core of the inner defense circle, the current situation of Liguang Fortress is very bad, and the pressure of the Kuroshio is far beyond imagination.

Among the three king candidates, his performance was far below expectations.

The fall of Linfeng City, the destruction of Longguan, and the annihilation of the entire army of the Seventh Battle Group marked him as a failure.

If there is no change, after the end of the Kuroshio, the seating position of the flame bearers will change.

At this time, another sentinel submitted two new pieces of information.

"Your Excellency Jon, this is the weather forecast from the White Tower Observatory. The next seven days will be foggy."

"This is a report from the Survey Corps. A day later, a higher intensity Kuroshio will arrive."

Under the long table, a giant wearing a balance robe said in an anxious tone: "Your Excellency Jon, we are going to lose our hold! The loss of the Liguang Fortress guards has been huge, and the Liguang Cannon has 36% of its components. There is a malfunction and it can no longer be used! We must quickly divert the flow to the west!"

Jon frowned and said hesitantly, "Gregor, the people of Linfeng City and other places are migrating near the Dead Mountains. If they divert to the west, the largest wave of monsters may hit the Sword Pass, and the people will be very dangerous."

Gregor said anxiously: "Your Excellency Jon, you have to understand that its culpability is always less than the fall of Liguang Fortress. If it falls here, it means that the middle of the entire inner defense circle collapses, and everything is over. It is understandable to divert people to protect Liguang Fortress!"

Jon's face was cloudy and uncertain, staring at every bad report in front of him, silent.

On the other side of the long table, a black-haired young man with a stern expression said: "Your Excellency Gregor, your suggestion is very irrational. Although the guards suffered a lot of losses, the overall combat effectiveness of Liguang Fortress is still good. When it breaks down."

Gregor glanced at the black-haired young man, and said indifferently: "Villas, Liguang Fortress is very tired. If we continue to fight like this, this possibility is very high. We need to recuperate and reduce the fighting intensity. Letting some of the Kuroshio go away can allow more soldiers to recover, and it only takes three to five days for Liguang Fortress to come back to life."

A black-haired woman beside Vilas said calmly: "I think we can adjust the combat deployment, some battles are very strange..."

Gregor interrupted sharply: "Adjustment before the battle, is there enough time?"

"do not talk!"

cried Jon.

The hall fell silent.

The noise, roar, horns and bells came faintly from outside the hall.

This is the mobilization of troops in the fortress. As the core of a defense line, it is impossible for Liguang Fortress to only defend the city. Soldiers must fight against the Kuroshio on both sides of the vast fortress. Otherwise, the core of the defense line will lose strategically. Considered "incapacitated" because it does not function to intercept weakened monsters.

But now, the situation is too severe, and this big stronghold can no longer protect the small stronghold behind it.

They must shrink the line of defense, let some monsters go away, and let the soldiers get more respite.

The Western Front was the only option.

At this time, I heard Gregor say again: "Your Excellency Jon, there are old cities behind the western front, Dragon Tooth Fort, and Wolf Fort. The disaster will not spread endlessly and produce unpredictable consequences."

Jon was silent.

But if this is the case, what about the relocation teams in Linfeng City and other places?

Gregor said loudly: "Your Excellency Jon, if Liguang Fortress falls, you will never be able to ascend the throne of king!"

boom.

Jon broke the charcoal and stood up, the grim and decisive look reappearing on his face.

"Vilas, order the corresponding battle group to return to the city for repairs, suspend the use of the Liguang Cannon, and ask the Engineering Institute to repair the damaged parts as soon as possible, and order the first battle group to divert the Kuroshio on the western front."

Gregor said ecstatically: "This is you! Only you who are colder and crueler than monsters can save Trorian!"

Jon showed a cold smile: "Grand Judge Gregor, please assemble a brigade, bring a teleportation beacon, and reinforce Jianguan."

Gregor's voice was choked out.

"Here, Your Excellency Jon, I am an important combat force of Liguang Fortress, and the teleportation beacon is our last guarantee, how can I bring it to Jianguan?"

Jon smiled and said, "If Liguang Fortress falls, there is no need for me to escape."

"But, but..." Gregor lowered his voice a lot: "The old city and the area around Longya Fort are all in the area of ​​Your Excellency Qingyu. As long as we have a legitimate reason, the rest is her business."

Jon said calmly: "If I can stop the diverted black tide before the sword pass, it will prove my strategic ability."

"But in this way, don't we just disperse our combat power?"

"Yes."

Jon's thoughts were crystal clear now.

"The Liguang Fortress needs to defend too much. The soldiers relying on the fortress to fight against monsters in the wilderness are not obvious enough. The terrain of Jianguan is steep and the fortress is very strong. The reinforcement team of Wangcheng even brought them a defense force. fire."

"I sent part of the Kuroshio out to help Jianguan with part of the combat power. Isn't that turning the field battle into a defensive battle within the range of the guardian fire? This is a good tactical deployment optimization."

Gregor was silent for a few seconds, then bent his tall body: "As you wish, my lord."

"Let's go, Your Excellency, I will give Wang Cheng a special commendation for your duty this time."

In the royal city, all fighters except the king will go to the front line, and the only ten justices are no exception.

"Praise you, great Lord Jon, I set off."

"Go, I will notify the Linfeng City relocation team and coordinate the battle group guards. If the sword gate can't be defended, use the teleportation beacon to lead them away."

"As you wish, my lord."

Gregor turned to leave.

In order to meet the adjustment of tactical subordinates, the busy work in the hall resumed.

Jon came to the window.

A powerful guardian fire illuminates the stronghold known as the "Light of Dawn".

It was once the gateway to the kingdom and was seen as a symbol of hope.

Now too.

Jon clenched his hands.

My way is the right way, and I am the only one who can save Trorian.

I will never fail.

When Rhodes woke up, two days had passed, and his spirit was still throbbing.

The sequelae of consuming a lot of psionic energy and using [Awakening] have not completely disappeared.

Caramon, who had been guarding him all the time, jumped up and ran out with a loud howl.

Soon, countless footsteps sounded outside the door.

Steel Hand and others all rushed in at once.

After a series of inspections, everyone finally announced that Rhodes had returned to normal.

Afterwards, Rhodes told them what happened in detail.

The atmosphere became silent, and everyone looked very sad.

Dark Leaf sighed softly: "Bach originally hoped to become a high-level knight, but he will soon become a fifth-level combatant."

Iger held his head, looking very self-blaming, and murmured: "Why is my mental resistance so low! If it can be higher, how could Mr. Bach die?"

The steel hand said loudly: "To guard the sword pass is to comfort the dead!"

He turned his head and told Rhodes what happened in the past two days.

It was only then that Rhodes knew that during the two days he was in a coma, they had found the ghost——

A logistician, he took bribes from the Doomsday Cultists and placed the encapsulated rot in a designated place, thus attracting evil spirits.

At the time of the incident, he had escaped using a spell.

Based on this, Steel Hand judged that all of this was premeditated, and the high-level evil spirits might have been woken up in advance by the Doomsday Cultists.

I just don't know why, they will specifically target Jianguan.

In the current layout, Jianguan is not a very important pass. There is Liguang Fortress in front, and the Old City and Dragon Tooth Fort in the rear. The support staff of Wangcheng can easily reactivate these former war strongholds.

Everyone couldn't think of the reason, and they only thought that it might be the madness and self-destructive tendencies of the Doomsday Cultists, which made them instinctively choose the easiest target to destroy, just to vent and create panic.

All were furious at this, and all the more grateful that Bach had shattered their plot.

They have already decided that as soon as the Kuroshio is over, they will return to the royal city and ask the Supreme Council to thoroughly investigate the matter. They must find out the doomsday cultists who destroyed the sword pass and destroy them all.

When this point was mentioned, the crowd showed joy again, and they told Rhodes that Liguang Fortress was about to send a large team to reinforce them.

As long as they persisted until reinforcements arrived, there would be nothing wrong with Jianguan, and no one would die.

Everything is going in a good direction.

However, for some reason, Rhodes always had an ominous premonition, feeling that things were not that simple.

No, I have to quickly increase [Justice Execution] a little more, preferably to the state of "Eternal Flame".

In case any powerful enemy appears before reinforcements arrive, I have a greater chance of destroying it.

A shot of [Spiritual Quartet] did not kill the high-level evil spirits, which gave Rhodes a strong sense of panic, as if suffering from a phobia of insufficient firepower.

The [Justice Execution], which has always been invincible, suddenly cannot be executed.

Is that still called justice?
