the last king of darkness

Chapter 177 Join the battle
This is a huge cliff.

The wind howled, the black mist billowed, and the lanterns on the knights' waists went out at once.

Darkness swept in, drowning everyone, leaving only the subtle red light of the red tearstone.

The knight captain said in a deep voice: "This is the cliff of death, at least a hundred miles away from the defensive circle."

The darkness was very thick, and Rhodes noticed that his line of sight had been greatly shortened, leaving only a distance of less than two hundred yards.

The knight captain suddenly said: "A monster is approaching!"

Rhodes was surprised: "Did you see it?"

"I sensed it, the eighth-level psionic waveform, the fierce-level intermediate level, a total of nine, ready to fight!"

Everyone's spiritual energy instantly lit up.

"High energy level response ahead! Eagle wings! Defense!"

A knight took a step forward and pushed up the giant shield. The spiritual energy spread out from the giant shield, like a vulture spreading its wings, forming a huge defensive cover.

In the next second, a group of extremely bright light broke through the air and hit the defensive cover directly.

The huge explosion flooded all sights, and the power of this blow was close to that of the [Psychic Quintet] before it was strengthened.

But the defensive cover stood still.

In the gray light, Rhodes clearly saw nine shadows rushing up.

Their soul fluctuations are extremely strong, the waveforms are complex and sharp, and they are in the shape of scattered stripes. They are indeed ferocious mid-level monsters.

Maybe it was because the psychic fluctuations generated by the explosion were too strong, and the knight captain didn't respond. Rhodes yelled, "The monster is coming!"

The knight captain immediately said: "Fight!"

Rhodes saw that one of the shadows' psychic energy quickly lit up, greatly surpassing the other shadows, and immediately shouted: "Here it comes again! Psychic Cannon!"

The knight captain immediately shouted: "Eagle Wing! Continue to defend!"

boom!
The second psionic cannon hit the shield.

The knight remained motionless, but thin blood was left on his eyes, nose and ears.

Rhodes shouted for the third time: "The monster is coming up! There are three in front, two at one o'clock, three at three o'clock, and one still at nine o'clock."

The knight captain immediately adjusted his position.

"I will protect Eagle Wing! The others should disperse, Rhodes, you stay by the Chief Dean's side."

Rhodes controlled all the puppets to surround Theodore, the wooden puppets formed a wooden wall, and the fleshy puppets stood in front of the wooden wall.

A few seconds later, the monster broke into the defensive circle.

Rhode finally saw what they looked like.

It was a black goo, wearing a huge ghost mask, no legs, only huge claws.

The guard knights soon fell into a bitter battle. The attack of the ghost mask was very fast and powerful, and the most troublesome thing was that a small psychic cannon would suddenly be ejected from the mask. The fierce battle caused the fluctuation of psychic energy to be so violent that it was impossible to perceive it. , only Rhodes can detect.

Rhodes kept raising the alarm, fully playing the role of a scout.

Flesh puppets also joined the battlefield.

The strength of this big man far exceeded Rhodes' imagination. Although it moved slowly and couldn't hit the ghost mask, it was not afraid of the ghost mask's attack, and it was a very good cover.

The battle gradually stalemate.

The knight captain shouted: "Hold on a little longer! The teleportation will start again soon."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed a huge psychic reaction in the distance.

"Ten, tenth level psionic reaction!"

There was a rare trill in the captain's voice, as if he couldn't believe it, he suddenly reacted.

"High-energy level reaction ahead! Protect the Chief Dean!"

In an instant, all the knights flew behind Eagle Wing and opened up their spiritual defenses.

The captain pushed Rhode away and threw him to the back.

"Live and bring..."

Before the words fell, a huge mass of white light pierced through the air, instantly pierced through the protective cover of the eagle wings, and swallowed all the guarding knights. Yu Wei then pierced through the flesh and blood puppets, and tore the clumped wooden puppets into pieces. in two halves.

When the white light fell, everything in front of my eyes had turned into fly ash.

In the distance, more ghost masks flew towards him, and a larger white shadow was slowly moving towards him.

Rhode's heart beat wildly.

But the time has come.

The next moment, the gray light lit up, his vision became blurred again, and he felt a sense of weightlessness. When he came back to his senses, he had already been teleported to a new place.

This is a mountain covered with sharp gravel, and the black fog is not so thick, but the line of sight still cannot reach two thousand yards.

At this time, only he and Theodore were left.

The chief dean's huge body lay quietly beside him, not knowing what would wake him up.

Rhode's heart was heavy, he didn't want to think too much, he found a hidden cave and hid in it.

This was an absolutely wise choice. Not long after, the ghost masks on the cliff came after him, and they brought more ghost masks with them.

Rhodes immediately summoned a large number of wooden puppets, forming a ball and blocking the cave.

Huge explosions continued to come from outside, and the sound of dead branches breaking continued to come. The tough wooden puppet just blocked the external attack and dragged it until the next teleportation.

When the line of sight was restored again, what Rhodes saw was a large piece of familiar wasteland, and the line of sight finally returned to [-] yards.

This is the wasteland of corpses?
The wasteland in front of Jianguan?

Isn't this the inner layer of the defensive circle?Is there any danger here?

Rhodes stood up and looked around.

Sure enough, most of the nearby monsters were at or below the level, and they didn't pose any threat to him now.

It should be safe.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the chief dean to finally open his eyes.

The moment those blue eyes looked at Rhodes, he let out a long breath.

Finally safe.

"The chief dean..."

Just as Rhodes was about to speak, a strong sense of sadness suddenly surged into his heart, his throat choked up, and he couldn't speak.

Theodore seemed to know something, and asked softly, "Lille and the others have already sacrificed, right?"

Rhodes nodded slightly.

There was sadness in Theodore's eyes, but it was quickly hidden behind the square-rimmed glasses, and he said softly: "Little Rhodes, don't be sad, return is our destiny, without their sacrifices, there would be no peace in the royal city." Smiles, gifts have a price, you have been so happy before, and you can also bring this kind of happiness to those who have smiled for you."

In an instant, many people appeared in Rhodes' mind, Qingyu, Aunt Uther, Sister Sister, Kashan, Brother Raistlin, A Duo, Teresa... There are many people who know their names or don't know their names people.

The moment their smiles appeared in his mind, Rhodes suddenly stopped being confused.

He knew what he was going to do.

"I see, thank you, Your Excellency the Chief Dean."

Theodore looked at him with kind eyes: "You have done a good job, child, now, leave the burden to me."

Rhodes hurriedly told everything he knew quickly and in detail, from the lighthouse to the end.

"...The luck of this teleportation is very good, there is no danger here..."

"Do not."

Theodore interrupted him.

"The luck of malicious transfer will never be good. It is impossible to make mistakes in the twisted curse of the abyss serpent Premus. It is a high-level monster of the abyss, second only to the existence of the king of the abyss."

Rhodes was taken aback: "You mean..."

Theodore stretched out his right hand, and a long wooden staff appeared in his hand out of thin air.

"Yes, there are dangers here that you can't imagine."

boom!
Theodore took the staff with both hands and thrust it into the ground.

Accompanied by a huge flash of light, a giant ghost composed of countless painful faces rose from the ground and appeared in front of the eyes.

Rhode recognized it instantly, it was the high-level evil spirit he met when he reinforced Jianguan last time!
That Gregor deliberately awakened the high-level evil spirits used to destroy Jianguan.

That high-level evil spirit was formed by gathering countless remnants of the Dusk Knights that were destroyed thousands of years ago!
Back then, Bach's soul blow didn't kill him?

Theodore said gently: "The current situation is very bad, the abyss is spreading, the city of Laisuo has been broken, the surrounding areas have fallen, the war zone is rotten, the soldiers are in a bitter battle, the big snake is nowhere to be found, and the black tide has not yet ended ... We have a lot of things to do, but we can't rush, one by one."

Lifting the stick, spiritual energy like a sea tide gathers at the tip of the stick.

"Let's start by eliminating this hidden threat."

-

-

Empire.

king district.

Supreme War Department.

The city of Laisuo was destroyed and Theodore disappeared, causing chaos for two days.

The bad news came in patches, making the situation of the already stretched and leaky defense system of the royal city even worse.

In this gloom, the only good news is that the battle situation in the Iron Armored Fortress has improved.

Alan killed the undead giant and broke through the unclean core.

As long as the skeleton monsters in the fortress are cleaned up, the Ironclad Fortress can be restored.

But the corruption in the entire war zone made this good news not so good.

The first defense chief Lin has not closed his eyes for two days.

The destruction of Laisuo City caused a large breach in the defense line, and the nearby strongholds were in emergency one after another. If it wasn't for the iron-clad fortress to stop them, the darkness would have driven straight in.

But the armored fortress cannot exist in isolation, its value lies in the protection of nearby strongholds.

If all the nearby strongholds fall, the isolated iron-clad fortress will not have much effect in the entire defense line.

To make matters worse, the fierce and protracted battle broke through the abyss before, and an abyss crack appeared near the defense line, and monsters from the abyss flooded in like a tide.

This rift must be destroyed, and the abyss monster that opened the rift must be eliminated.

Wangcheng has urgently sent Guardian Qingyu and Guardian Jon to support, but the battle situation did not turn around quickly, and reports of death and destruction still came like snowflakes.

Dalin watched these pillars of humanity fall one by one, his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe.

In this mass tragedy, the only news that made him feel better was that the Sword Fortress had received a large number of defeated soldiers and refugees from Laisuo City.

This is not an easy thing.

According to the report, when the city of Laiso was destroyed, at least half of the people fled from the city, and there were about 1 people who fled in the direction of the Sword Fortress.

Most of them successfully reached the Sword Fortress behind.

Most of the people who fled in the other two directions were already dead.

According to the refugees, it was the giant stone lighthouse that guided them and led away the monster.

This is a huge feat.

But unfortunately, when the supporters arrived, the lighthouse had already gone out.

They only found 120 seriously injured people who were sealed in the tower, and most of the soldiers stationed there were killed.

Dalin smoked two packs of cigarettes before he forgot the news.

Even if he is used to sacrifices, he cannot remain indifferent.

Moreover, too many negative emotions will cause the soul to corrupt in an unfavorable direction.

Forgetting is the best memory.

But the situation was still rotten, and in Dalin's hands, he could no longer find any combat power to reinforce.

How to do?
Just when he was worried, the order from the Supreme Council of Wangcheng passed to him.

After reading this brief instruction, Dalin immediately stood up and quickly came to the main hall of the Wangcheng Council.

Archbishop Horus, First Elder Armando, and Second Chief of Defense Zhang Bai are all sitting here.

Dalin rushed up in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Are you going to use taboo methods?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "The king has given permission, we can send out a forbidden object or forbidden person under the silver oath."

Dalin fell silent.

"One?"

The first elder, Amando, said coldly: "It's best not to use the taboos, the corrosion of the abyss is too great, and they will get out of control."

Dalin and Zhang Bai glanced at each other, and they instantly connected with each other.

"Only that."

"Yes, only that."

Horus asked in a deep voice: "Have you decided? This is our last chance. Once the defensive circle is broken, all our achievements over the past few decades will be destroyed."

Zhang Bai nodded slightly: "It's decided."

Dalin said in a deep voice, "We will make good use of it."

"it is good."

Horus said no more, turned and walked outside.

"The one who is about to lift the taboo, the oath of Wolfgang von Mephis."
