the last king of darkness

Chapter 172 Megalith Lighthouse
Thunderbird shuttled through the black mist at an extraordinary speed, and the students were buried in its thick feathers.

Only the bird driver stands on the bird's head.

In less than an hour, they reached the sky above the old city of Baila.

There are a total of nineteen strongholds in charge of assistance from the hidden branch, and the old city of Baila is the core stronghold, where more than 100 people are destined for it.

An instructor stood up and shouted: "The old city of Baila has arrived, and the destination is here, people who stand up."

Teresa waved to Rhodes beside her: "I'm leaving, come on, little Rhodes."

On the back of the huge bird, a hundred people stood up one after another.

The bird driver didn't let the thunderbird fall, and a hundred people jumped directly.

Rhodes was startled, you don't even carry a parachute?

Tens of seconds later, Leixingniao came to another stronghold, and seven people jumped down under the arrangement of the teacher.

In this way, there are fewer and fewer people on the Thunderbird.

Until the end, the teacher in charge of arranging the personnel also jumped down.

Before he left, he said, "Rhod, it's your turn to jump to the next stronghold. When you jump down, remember to use your spiritual defense to protect your whole body. The 4-hour spiritual defense is a bit difficult, but you shouldn't be injured."

After speaking, he jumped into the vast darkness one step at a time.

So far, Rhodes is the only one left on the giant bird.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the bird driver standing on the bird's head shouted: "The giant stone lighthouse has arrived."

Rhode had no choice but to stand up, and the gust of wind blowing his hair instantly blew away his hair, and the vast black mist almost drowned out the glimmer of light from the lantern around his waist.

If it weren't for the training during this period, he would probably have been blown down.

But now he can barely stand still, unable to move an inch.

"What are you dawdling about?" The bird driver yelled, "Thunderbird's travel time is limited, it must hurry back to the Silver Oath, otherwise it will get out of control."

Rhodes gritted his teeth and jumped, and the strong wind instantly blew him down into the dark abyss.

Thunderbird shook its wings and went away in an instant.

Rhodes fell rapidly in the endless darkness, his whole body shrunk into a ball, and he tried his best to unleash his spiritual energy.

A few seconds later, there was a muffled sound, and a huge psychic tremor came from the back of his waist, and the pain pierced through his chest, almost making him scream out.

It took a full quarter of an hour before Rhodes got up from the ground, feeling pain in every part of his body, and he had already smashed a small hole in the ground.

wipe.

You guys are too violent, you don't even give an umbrella for skydiving.

Rhodes complained in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw the lighthouse on the mountain not far away.

It was a very huge lighthouse, but the light was relatively weak and could only illuminate the top of the mountain.

If he hadn't opened the eyes of the soul, he might not be able to detect the lighthouse.

Rhodes felt a bit stuck. He was the only one helping the lighthouse, and the landing point was in the wild. If he fell into the crowd of monsters, it would be over... Uh, maybe my skydiving skills are a bit poor.

After stretching his waist, he quickly ran to the lighthouse on the mountain.

Under the sight of the eyes of the soul, there seems to be no threat nearby.

When I got closer, I found that the lighthouse was bigger than I imagined. The lower part is a solid steel and stone structure, like an upside-down iron barrel. The upper part is a slender lighthouse. There are several huge parabolic reflectors on the top of the tower. The flames of the tower were burning in a brazier, but it was obviously not the fire of protection. A faint black mist surrounded the tower, and the light could not completely dispel it.

Someone on the lighthouse soon noticed Rhodes' arrival. After briefly checking his identity, they dropped a rope from the top of the tower and pulled him up.

This method is... so primitive.

Rhodes began to feel a little worried. This position didn't seem to be dangerous, and he didn't see any monsters.

Here, the chance of encountering a special monster with [source] seems to be low.

Rhode's worry soon became a reality.

There are only [-] fighters stationed in this megalithic lighthouse. The average combat level is eight. When there is a transport team passing by, protect their safety.

The lighthouse is at the back of the middle layer of the defense circle, with the old city of Baira in front and the city of Laisuo on the side, the location is excellent.

The captain of the guard of the lighthouse also admitted that although the iron-clad fortress was breached, they were not affected. He did not know why they would send a person to support them.

Rhode's heart went cold at once, Sauron arranged him here, and he didn't believe him at all.

Damn, believe it or not, I'll make a hundred more copies of your little movie and distribute it everywhere.

But this idea was dismissed immediately after only one turn. Among other things, Rhodes could figure out the consequences of posting a small movie about a big man everywhere.

Forget it.

The mountains won't come to me, won't I go to the mountains?

Is it normal for me to accidentally get lost when I go out on duty?Is it normal to accidentally walk to the old city of Baila or the city of Raiso?

Now that we're here, it shouldn't be a problem for me to participate in a battle, right?

Punishment one by one at most, can it be more serious than killing the judge on the spot?

It's not that I don't have a backer, Miss Qingyu is still protecting me, and Teacher Sauron will also protect me.

There are also Chief Dean Theodore, Mr. Lauren, Chief Inspector, and Mr. Hei Xiong, Chief Judge. Wang should also support me.

Haha, when I think about it this way, I still have a lot of backers, so what are I afraid of?

Rhode's heart settled down, and he decided to stay at the lighthouse for a few days first, and then set off for the dangerous stronghold after clarifying the surrounding situation.

Although the lighthouse didn't need people, the soldiers in the lighthouse still welcomed Rhode's arrival very much. They entertained him warmly and brought out the good wine and delicious food to celebrate the arrival of the new members.

The captain of the guard cooks the food himself. Although it is a standard canned food, the dishes made by the captain of the guard are still extremely delicious.

Even Rhodes, who is used to food, is full of praise, especially a "butter sandworm roasted mushroom", the sweetness of butter, the meaty aroma of sandworm, and the umami taste of mushrooms, it can be called a top-level delicacy.

And its raw materials are just three cans, the kitchen utensils are just a pot, and a warm stone that can adjust the temperature by inputting spiritual energy.

This cooking skill makes Rhodes a little bit envious. Cooking delicious food is a kind of enjoyment. Moreover, how can there be no delicious food in the beautiful life in the future?

Of course, now is not the time to study.

Rhodes believes that as long as he ignites the star [Sense of God], no matter what he learns, he will be fast.

Food always makes people feel happy, and the topic is wide open. After lunch, Rhodes chatted with the soldiers, and soon learned that they were all students who graduated from Jinworth Academy in the normal process.

Their entire college career is step-by-step, without any surprises, passing one period after another, taking exams, graduating, entering the city defense army, becoming city defense soldiers, gradually maturing in battle, making progress but also limited.

Most of them are very simple and have no earth-shattering ambitions. They just want to do their jobs well and have a stable family. When they get old and retire, they can watch the royal city develop in peace. A little bit stronger is their biggest wish.

As for Rhodes' status as a special student, they were very envious, thinking that the future of Wangcheng lay in people like them.

The captain of the guard also quietly told them that there are special students with a [strong] logo, they are destined to be new stars in the future, and become powerful fighters who protect them.

Everyone chattered about what the special students with the [Strong] logo would look like. They gave full play to their imagination and assigned them many characteristics that humans did not have.

Rhodes held back and told them that he was one of them. After all, according to them, he should be ten meters high, ten meters wide and ten meters long.

Just when Rhodes thought that these few days would be spent in such a dull atmosphere, an astonishing news came back.

The city of Laisuo was breached, the fire of protection was extinguished, and the entire army of the city defenders was wiped out.
