the last king of darkness

Chapter 131 Lost
The lower body of the giant worm is worm-shaped, and the upper body is a giant, with a haggard face, protruding eyeballs, dirty green skin, and black hyperplastic sarcoma all over the body.

Its arrival made everyone very nervous.

Rhodes was already ready to use [Psionic Quintet], but the giant worm didn't approach Jianguan. After wandering in the distance for a while, it suddenly inserted its hands into its abdomen.

Accompanied by a large stream of dirty green pus, the giant worm drew out two giant swords with thick bones, and slashed wildly at the monsters around it.

Enraged monsters fought back.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the monsters outside Jianguan fighting into a ball.

The giant worm is like a god of war, intercepting more than [-]% of the Kuroshio tide. It kills wantonly in the tide of monsters, and it seems to have a wonderful sense of pleasure.

Steel Hand shouted ecstatically: "This is the will of the Supreme Holy Fire to help us!"

Moore said: "Let the soldiers recover quickly. The damaged parts of the fortress need to be repaired. The longer it takes, the greater our hope. If there is an accident with the reinforcement team, and there is no news from Jianguan, Liguang Fortress will be aware of it sooner or later. "

These words were widely recognized, and the steel hand said loudly: "Brothers, get busy!"

Although Rhodes has some regrets, at least his safety is guaranteed.

The giant worms fought non-stop outside the sword pass, but there was no sign of weakening in the slightest. Instead, they became stronger as they fought, which made everyone feel relieved and at the same time worried.

But generally speaking, they still hope that the giant worm can continue to kill.

Even if you have to face a very strong monster in the future, at least it is better than dying slowly under endless shocks.

However, the next day, when Rhode woke up, he found that the giant worm was gone.

Eighteen hundred yards away from Jianguan, the giant worm that resisted the Kuroshio like a rock disappeared.

The tide of monsters quickly returned to its previous intensity.

After only one day of rest, the soldiers had to return to the fighting state.

The battle became even more fierce. Rhodes wanted to use [Psionic Quintet] many times, but was stopped by the steel hand.

He told Rhodes that using the psychic cannon now only stopped the Kuroshio for a moment.

More and stronger monsters rushing from behind will put more pressure on Jianguan.

The best way now is to use the accumulation effect, let the psionic generator withstand the pressure, and let the fire kill the monsters.

Rhodes was anxious, but he could only follow his advice.

Black crystals are the main energy source of the psionic generators. Rhodes provided 140 crystals, plus [-] in stock, for a total of [-] crystals. Up to now, there are only a few dozen of them left.

But fortunately, the psionic generator can directly input psionic energy, but the efficiency is much lower than that of the black crystal.

During this period of time, Mina and the warrior had to take turns to input psionic energy into the psionic generator, otherwise they would not be able to survive at all.

Rhodes came to help them at the request of Steel Hand. His long spiritual energy greatly relieved their pressure, and Mina let out a long breath.

The steel hand used the closed door tactic, abandoning the city wall and only guarding the inside of the fortress.

Finally, the pressure was reduced to an acceptable level.

But soon, Steel Hand received accusations from Liguang Fortress, asking him why he had to "disable" Jianguan, and what qualifications did he have to make the decision to "disable" Jianguan?

Ask him to restore Jianguan's defensive state immediately and stop all monsters.

Steel Hand was surprised and couldn't believe it. The first reply from Liguang Fortress, which had been silent for a long time, turned out to be an accusation, but it didn't mention anything about reinforcements.

He immediately wrote a long reply letter, detailing the recent events and the helplessness and necessity of his decision.

But as before, he received no reply.

No. 14 days.

The psionic generator couldn't hold it anymore, and Mina fainted in the basement due to excessive use of psionic energy.

Maul was forced to rekindle the Guardian Fire.

The burst of fire cleared away all nearby monsters, but the range of the fire then dropped to a hundred yards.

It can only cover the fortress.

No. 15 days.

Maul ignites the Guardian Fire once more to deal with a powerful horde of ghouls.

The range of fire was reduced to 60 yards.

About a third of the fort was out of range of the fire.

The soldiers retreated all the way from the upper level of the fort to the interior of the fort.

Moore and Steel Hand knew that Jianguan could not be defended. According to Trorian's military regulations, they could evacuate.

Steel Hand quickly made all preparations, and once again sent letters to Liguang Fortress, Giant Fortress, and all the strongholds in the rear.

In order to ensure the delivery of the information, Steel Hands also specially dispatched two warriors to deliver the information to the rear stronghold and the migrating team.

Moore turned the guardian fire from the grounded state to the off-the-ground state again.

This will drain a lot of power from the Guardian Fire.

But Rhodes provided him with a lot of phlogiston, so don't worry too much about it.

What needs to be worried about is that once the guardian fire is off the ground, the loss of power will be accelerated, and the ability to suppress monsters will be greatly reduced.

How to evacuate safely is the question they need to think about.

No. 16 days.

The psionic generator finally reached its limit, and the tree-shaped red crystals shattered and scattered all over the ground.

The Jianguan fortress fell in response, more than half of it collapsed.

But Steel Hand had the foresight to gather all the personnel in the underground emergency escape passage.

Moore put the guardian fire back into the copper lamp, but its light was far from the hundred yards when it first came out of the royal city.

Only less than twenty yards, or about sixty paces.

There were more than 100 fighters and support staff, and they had to squeeze into such a small area.

Steel Hand tried his best to keep the soldiers standing outside the circle, and let the logistics personnel and the wounded stay inside the circle, and walked forward along the escape route.

The soldiers were depressed, many of them whimpered, and the students were also very dazed.

After guarding the sword pass for so long, it fell like this?

Steel Hand wanted to say some comforting words to boost morale, but before he could speak, Rhodes said loudly:

"Don't be sad, everyone, we didn't fail!"

"Jianguan is indeed lost, but we are still alive, and we may not be able to make a comeback in the future. This is called saving people and losing land, and everyone and land survive."

"If the sword is closed, but we are dead, what is the difference between losing our defense? This is called the loss of the land and people, and the loss of both people and land."

These words sound very reasonable, no one thought that they could think in this direction.

Many people felt much better all of a sudden.

At this time, Rhodes said again: "We are not running away, we have tried our best and fought to the last moment. It is the wisest choice to make a strategic shift at this time."

"In time, we may not be able to become stronger, and there may not be a new fire holder. Maybe he just happens to be the great savior?"

"Let's keep us useful, and we will be able to kill more monsters in the future. This is called a single spark, and it can start a prairie fire."

At this moment, in the eyes of the steel hand, it seemed that something hot rose up.

Many people wept loudly, and many others laughed.

Steel Hand couldn't help sighing: "I really didn't realize that the young Rhodes actually has the demeanor of a legion commander. It would be great if he was born 30 years earlier."

Moore rubbed his chin, thinking about what to do after going back.

"Mom, I want to light the fire of my soul, I want to be a combatant," one logistics worker cries.

Caramon also hugged him and cried: "Whoa, I don't want a girlfriend anymore, I want to train!"

"OK OK!"

Rhodes pushed Caramon away in disgust. This guy always wiped his nose on him.

"Don't be too happy, we still have to find a way to go back. Where is the end of this passage?"

Steel Hand smiled and said, "On the east side of the Dead Mountain Range, near the Everglades, it's relatively safe."

Rhodes felt relieved, as long as he was safe.

His supplies were all exhausted, there was not a single real silver bullet or lightning stone left, and the last seven spirit sealing bullets were left in the spirit gun.

The summons were all used up, and there were only two wooden puppets left.

Now Rhodes has no fighting power, and it is the business to return to the king city as soon as possible.

This trip, his strength has increased dramatically, and it's time to digest it firmly.

If he can master more combat skills, his combat effectiveness will leap to a higher level.

While thinking, Rhode followed the steel hand out of the escape route.
