the last king of darkness

Chapter 168 First Chief of Defense
For the next two days, Rhode basically spent time in the sewer.

As for the work of cleaning the sewers, he has long been familiar with it, and most of the problems can be solved with a spiritual gun. Occasionally, there are more troublesome situations, and it is just an extra thunderstone.

Moreover, Rhodes' combat skills and various basic skills are far superior to those of the past. Not only is his speed greatly accelerated, but he is no longer afraid of sudden dangers.

It is no exaggeration to say that he can walk sideways on the upper floor of the sewer.

Therefore, Rhode's already extremely high cleaning efficiency has been greatly improved again, and the spiritual power bonus brought by the soul strength of up to 2430 has also made him invincible.

Not only that, Rhodes also found that the strength of the soul seems to have a bonus to the eye of the soul. Obviously, his perspective on the physical matter was only 7-8 yards at the beginning, but now it has extended to 10 yards.

This makes his sight range wider and the combat arrangement more reasonable.

The King of the Sewers lives up to his name.

The only thing that worries Rhodes is that with the substantial increase in his soul strength, the regular recovery effect of [Bitter Blue] is getting weaker and weaker.

Most of the potions or means to restore spiritual energy in the royal city are useless to him. Only the red crystal of the soul has a little effect, but its essence is to calm the fatigue of the soul and improve the state of the soul. He can only eat one at a time. Improve recovery efficiency a little.

To restore spiritual energy and heal the sequelae of [Awakening], it mainly depends on time.

Rhodes cleaned the sewers, but was just reusing waste time.

Ugh.

I am so miserable.

Two days later, Rhodes finally cleared the 120 six sewer tasks.

When he went to hand in the task, the scorching heat in A Duo's eyes almost melted him.

120 six sewer missions, a total of 1 silver cables were rewarded.

Now, the total amount of money on him has exceeded [-] silver ropes.

That's definitely a lot of money.

Moreover, his hunter star level has also reached four stars, becoming the fastest upgraded hunter in the hunter group.

The hunter's honor has also exceeded 300, but A Duo told him that he can continue to accumulate it. If he can reach [-], he can ask the soul forging master Lei Lu to forge a powerful weapon for him.

It sounds good, but it's too shabby to always use this spiritual gun.

In the royal city, most high-level combatants have their own soul weapons, which match their own characteristics and can greatly improve their combat capabilities.

If I can do it, maybe I will get a big improvement.

after that.

A Duo quickly helped him deal with all the follow-up tasks, and as always, he strived for the best interests for him. Since sleeping at her house that day, A Duo's enthusiasm for him has not diminished, and has even increased. He not only actively plans for him The road of the best hunter, and constantly advises him, trying to find ways to help him pursue her sister Mephis.

Of course, Rhodes essentially wanted to become a partner with her, but in A Duo's view, this probably meant the pursuit.

Of course she is very willing to find a companion for the lonely sister Mephis.

And this is also of great benefit to herself. She participated in the fire trial six times, but failed to ignite the fire of the soul, and became a member of the fire bearer. Brother Sauron is so good, it is impossible to be tied by her, Only the equally excellent sister Memphis can.

If they really became partners, then as the matchmaker, wouldn't she also be partly credited?
When she asks brother Sauron again, will he come into her room?There is another sewer mission from the headquarters, will Brother Sauron still help her?

During this period of time, because of her outstanding performance and actively solving the problems of the Hunter Headquarters, A Duo has been continuously rewarded by the Headquarters. The head of the Headquarters, Jahan, even held a special meeting to praise her in front of the heads of all the branches. Let her, as the representative of the annual branch leader, come on stage to teach everyone how to sell sewer tasks.

The feeling of being admired and envied by others made A Duo happy.

And all of this was brought about by the tall, handsome and handsome big brother in front of him.

Therefore, how to establish a long-term and stable relationship with him is what A Duo wants to do most now. Of course, her ultimate dream is to climb up the high branch of Sauron's brother, become a maid in his family, and live in the bright upper city The big house takes care of the daily life of Brother Sauron and Sister Mephis every day, and occasionally participates in it, having a baby or something.

It is best to have a weekly salary of more than [-] silver cables.

This kind of life is the paradise of her dreams.

She had had enough of the cold, gray downtown.

This year has not had good weather for five consecutive months, the Kuroshio has continued, and all parties and celebrations have been cancelled. She is so bored that she is almost mentally ill. It is simply a disaster year.

Therefore, when he heard that brother Sauron was about to say goodbye again, the loss in A Duo's heart was beyond words.

But she still managed to squeeze out a smile and waved goodbye to him enthusiastically.

"Goodbye, Brother Sauron, come to my house to play again when you have time. I still have a lily that can spray water."

-

Rhodes didn't care either, it was a toy car anyway, so it wasn't interesting.

The harvest of this trip to the hunter has far exceeded imagination, but Rhodes is still very disappointed - he asked for Mephis's contact information, but she has not responded to the message, and all the letters sent have disappeared.

He even tried to find her by tracking the Spiritcrow, but the poor deed failed ignominiously.

During the long-distance search, the spirit crow will turn into something like a wave and enter the spirit world, until it finds the target, it will collapse into a bird again and deliver the letter.

No wonder the letters of the Spirit Crow Messenger are all specially made, what a miraculous invention...it's actually so cheap, one hundred silver cords, one can be bought in bulk, there are various styles, there is no limit.

Ugh.

There was still no response, and Rhodes had no choice but to prepare to return to the hidden base.

-

Uptown.

king district.

The holy fire sacrificial field is undoubtedly the core of the royal area, and has the highest defense level of the Trorian kingdom.

In the north of it is the highest military department in charge of all war affairs, which is sometimes referred to simply as the headquarters or the headquarters.

Due to the special form of the Trorian Kingdom, the inside and outside of the kingdom were divided into dozens of defense zones and war zones.

And each defense zone or war zone has a military warfare department, which is responsible for the defense or war affairs of the place.

The theoretical highest officer of the branch is the guardian, but the guardian is also the highest officer of the defense zone or war zone.

The one who is really in charge of the main daily affairs of the Military War Department is the Chief of Defense.

Each military department has a chief of defense and dozens of defense chiefs at all levels. The chief of defense vertically manages the defense affairs of the region through the establishment of defense departments at all levels in the region.

In the headquarters of the Military Warfare Department, the same system is also used.

Its highest officer is the king, but it is the first chief of defense who is in charge of the war affairs of the entire Trorian human beings.

Yolevi Dalin.

Since the end of Hanukkah and the arrival of the new year, the first chief of defense who shoulders the heavy responsibility of mankind has not had a good night's sleep.

Bad weather is persistent, and it usually portends greater disaster.

Sure enough, less than half a month after the beginning of the new year, the investigative corps discovered traces of the Kuroshio.

Dozens of investigation teams were lost before and after, and the investigation corps finally confirmed the news.

Since then, the entire kingdom has been mobilized for war, and even the students who are still in the academy are forced to go to the battlefield ahead of time and participate in the defense of the royal city.

A small number of outstanding students even went directly to the front line to participate in the battle.

In order to ensure that the development achievements of the Star City are not destroyed, the interior of the kingdom is almost emptied, a large number of affairs are piled up, a large number of threats are placed, and reports of help from all over the country fly to the headquarters like snowflakes. To the extreme.

As the first chief of defense, he even began to pay attention to the transfer of individual combatants, and even asked about cleaning up the sewer himself.

In such a dark day, the only good news is that a sewer cleaning master suddenly appeared in the royal city. Within ten days, he single-handedly cleared more than 200 sewer tasks, eliminating many hidden dangers of instability for the royal city , to avoid many possible dangers.

Because of this, shitting is now the only moment Dalin feels at ease.

He even fell in love with the feeling, it's just a pity there wasn't that much shit.

Dalin really wants to contact this brave man to further develop more of his functions, but he is a hunter. According to the rules of the hunter group, if he doesn't want to tell his real name, then don't go to investigate.

Perhaps a high-ranking combatant.

Dalin thought to himself.

In this way, you can relax and relieve the stress in your mind.

This is of course understandable.

In the continuous battle, everyone is under a lot of pressure, and learning to release it properly is a good way to keep the soul healthy.

Dalin really wanted to promote this method, and asked him to pass on his experience, which can not only relieve the pressure of high-level combatants with heavy tasks, but also eliminate hidden dangers for the royal city.

But who would he be?

Dalin checked all the high-ranking fighters, and found it impossible.

But this is only a trivial matter, and I quickly forgot about it without finding a clue.

Today, as soon as he stepped into the hall of the headquarters, Dalin felt terrified, as if something terrible was about to happen.

His intuition has always been accurate.

Dalin immediately turned his attention to his battle order list, which listed all the combat forces in the royal city.

At a glance, there are city defense corps, conquest corps, investigation corps, Night Watchers corps, Knights, Holy Church's Fighting Order, Kalil's Secret Force, and Hunters.

It even includes Kingworth College, as well as the defenders of the sacred fire sacrificial field that would never be used before.

But Dalin, who has seen it countless times, knows that their potential has been squeezed out, and further squeezes will not yield much, and will only lose the foundation of Wangcheng.

Dalin moved his gaze to the back, the only one with a lot of potential was the hidden branch of Kingworth.

I have to admit that some of the elders' strategies are correct. This newly formed battle group has relieved him a lot of pressure, and there are still more potentials to be tapped.

However, is it necessary to send these students with unlimited potential to the most dangerous battlefield?
Although they can grow in battle, fighting far beyond their limits will also destroy them.

The loss of any one of them is the loss of the future of mankind.

The last doomsday cult incident dealt a heavy blow to him. Dalin still has lingering fears and supports them in continuing to dig deep into Gregor's remnant party. But for some reason, this matter has great resistance. Many elders believe that in this It is time not to launch a large-scale internal investigation, which will make the interior more unstable.

Just as Dalin fell into deep thought, a red emergency message was sent back to the military headquarters.

Dalin immediately launched intelligence.

Sure enough, it was the worst news.

The most important core of the defense circle front, the Iron Armored Fortress was breached.

A super-sized giant of corrupted living corpses destroyed the city wall, and a large number of unclean bones poured into the fortress. The soldiers had to rely on the guardian fire and started a street battle with the monster.

The situation is dire.

But Dalin just looked at the map silently, without saying a word.

The second chief of defense, Zhang Bai of Broken Iron Town, said anxiously: "Your Excellency the first chief of defense, we must dispatch reinforcements as soon as possible. If the armored fortress falls, the main force of the Kuroshio will directly hit the inner layer of the defense line, and the defense circle will be destroyed. punctured."

Herman, the first commander of the War Department, was also very anxious: "Your Excellency, First Chief of Defense, let me lead the team."

"No."

Dalin sat down and smoked his cigarette one puff at a time. The white smoke that rose up swept over his gray temples, making him look very old.

"You have just come down from the battle zone of Star City, and you have just entered the recovery period of the rotation. Not only has your spiritual power not recovered, but the infection in your soul has not been completely cleared, so it is impossible to go to the battlefield again."

The first commander, Herman, fell silent. This was a fact. If he forcibly went up, it would not only disrupt the strategic deployment of the military department, but also lead to even greater disasters.

Zhang Bai from Broken Iron Town asked anxiously: "Da Lin, is there any Son of Fire who can be dispatched?"

Dalin shook his head slightly: "No, the seven sons of fire have all entered the highest battle order and cannot be changed."

Zhang Bai in Broken Iron Town even cried a little in his anxiety. Lvcao Geli, the deputy defense chief of the Iron Armor Fortress, is his wife, so this worry is not only about the country, but also about the family.

"Where are the four knight commanders?"

Dalin was silent for a moment, then said: "Your Excellency Olivia is fighting on the Western Front, and the Sun Knight and the Holy Sword Knight are both in Star City."

Zhang Bai in Broken Iron Town suddenly had a glimmer of hope: "Where is the first knight?"

Dalin pondered and said: "Your Excellency Alan has been fighting for five consecutive months, has gone through more than 20 battles, and just returned to the royal city to repair..."

Zhang Bai from Broken Iron Town suddenly smiled.

"Your Excellency Alan has long stamina and unparalleled force. With him around, there must be no problem."

The tense atmosphere in the hall was slightly relaxed, and many people had some smiles on their faces.

The first knight of the Knights, Als Teslant, is the only fire bearer of the Starfire sequence among the top fighters in Trorian.

He has ignited nineteen fire seeds unprecedentedly. He possesses unmatched fighting talent and keen intuition. Although there are many fire seeds, he hardly relies on the characteristic abilities of fire seeds to fight. His soul weapon, the holy white sword, can cut through the spiritual defense of all monsters. , another soul weapon, the Radiant Shield, can resist all erosion and corruption.

Therefore, his continuous combat ability is extremely strong, and his long spiritual energy seems to never be exhausted.

Everyone affectionately nicknamed him "Alan".

This legendary number one knight possesses superb military strength. He has gone through nearly a thousand battles before and after, and has never lost a single one. Trorian can have the current situation, and his credit has a very heavy share. Therefore, He is also considered the strongest in Trorian, regarded by countless people as a hero and a pillar of faith, the prince in the dreams of countless girls, and the idol in the hearts of countless teenagers.

Many people respectfully call him "the victor of the oath", and believe that as long as Alan exists, Trorian will always win.

In the upper echelon, most people are more rational, but also believe that Alan is the most capable person in combat of them all.

When in trouble, find Alan, which is their usual rule of thumb.

But as the first chief of defense of Trorian humans, Dalin knows very well that Alan is just a person, not the painless, tearless and invincible god of war they imagined. Infected, he will also retreat when the situation is unfavorable, and then find a more appropriate time to reverse the victory.

As Trorian's most important combat force, Alan must not make any mistakes.

Therefore, he has been hesitating just now whether to dispatch Alan.

Although Alan would never refuse any mission, the first chief of defense should not only consider the present.

At this time, another red urgent report came.

Dalin immediately unfolded. It was an urgent report from Laisuo City behind the iron-clad fortress. They were surrounded by a large group of black dead beasts, and the main supply channel to the front line had been cut off.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of red alerts flew in.

They are all from the human strongholds near the Ironclad Fortress.

The domino effect caused by the crisis of the core stronghold has already been demonstrated.

Dalin immediately made a decision.

"Zhang Bo, inform Your Excellency Alan that you are preparing to reinforce the Ironclad Fortress."

Zhang Bai replied with a happy face: "Yes, Your Excellency the First Chief of Defense."

"Scheduler Molly, inform Chief Dean His Excellency Theodore that he is preparing to reinforce Leso City."

Dispatch officer Molly immediately replied: "Yes, Mr. Dalin."

One order after another was issued, and soon, several reinforcement teams were formed.

However, there are still a few strongholds, and no matter how hard they gather, no fighters can be found.

Dalin's eyes moved over all legions and battle groups, and finally stopped on the hidden branch.

But this time is different from Jianguan's reinforcements. It was a tiny battle at the inner end of the defense circle, but this is a battle to face the dark world.

Are you going to send them?

After a long silence, he said in an unquestionable firm voice.

"Notify the first dean Vera, the hidden leader Kalil, and ask them to form a team to reinforce the old city of Baila and its surrounding areas."
