the last king of darkness

Chapter 184 Good

Spellcasters have always been able to perform miracles, and many seemingly weak or useless spells can perform miraculously at critical moments.

The recognized powerful spells are listed as strategic existences.

Although this spell guard did not achieve the highest pursuit of using the least force to leverage the greatest results, but he directly used powerful spells to quickly suppress the situation, which is also a correct choice.

But what everyone didn't expect was that this conjurer guard looked so young, unlike the top-notch figure who could be called a "conjurer" or "master of conjuration".

The adjutant asked in a low voice: "Is there any information about the magic guard in the intelligence?"

The messenger shook his head: "No, there is a lot of information, and the space is not enough. It is impossible to add useless words."

But Tyrion didn't have the slightest doubt. He could tell at a glance that the robe and staff on his body were relic-level spiritual equipment.

Ordinary magic guards do not have such powerful equipment.

"Little Tyrion."

Rhodes raised him with both hands, and said gently:

"I told you that the celebration should stay after the complete victory. There are still many outlying strongholds in the old city of Baira in a state of fall, and some of the guardian fires have not even been sent back to the city. Go back and light them, and you'll consume much less phlogiston and firewood."

Tyrion's hulking face creased, and there was something strangely familiar in the young squire's tone that reminded him of Lord Theodore.

"My lord, where is Lord Theodore? The Supreme War Department is in a hurry..."

"Oh, I'm fine, don't worry, Kobayashi has experienced many bigger storms, he will handle it well, you should trust our first defense chief."

Tyrion looked at him suspiciously, the only hair on his bald head hanging down, blocking his view, and blowing it away with his breath.

"It's annoying, it's not good to have too much hair..."

Rhodes said gently: "Little Tyrion, I don't have much time. Hurry up and recover the lost stronghold. Only when the flames are united can humans stand upright and stand tall on this land."

The blood surged in many hearts, and they just wanted to agree immediately, but Tyrion groaned and did not speak.

The adjutant said: "My lord, you may not know much about the battle situation. We are only part of the third war zone where the Iron Armored Fortress is located. The core stronghold of the Iron Armored Fortress has not yet resumed its functions. A large number of high-threat monster groups are heading straight to our area, such as Corrupted snake people, bloodthirsty herds, etc."

An officer said: "You also know that another important stronghold, Laisuo City, has been destroyed. A large number of abyssal monsters are attacking our defense system. The touched abyss fissure has not yet been found. Under multiple crises, we can maintain the current situation. It is already very difficult to ensure that the functions of the old city of Baila will not be lost."

Tyrion nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The crisis in the old city of Baira has not yet been resolved. Our psionic generators have been damaged, half of the high walls have been destroyed, and the soldiers are fighting fiercely with monsters in the city. If it weren't for someone Even the old city may not be able to hold the support of the secret branch troops."

"Yes, we don't have the strength to recover any more strongholds."

Rhodes smiled and said, "It will be there soon."

Tyrion frowned and said, "What do you mean? Is there any reinforcements? There is no news from the royal city? The first-level commander Marin didn't mention this matter either."

"The monsters in the city will be eliminated soon, and Dean Vera can lead the members of the hidden branch to recover the stronghold."

Tyrion's frown deepened.

"The ones attacking us are the reptilian monsters of Sigles. Their skin is extremely thick, they move extremely fast, they can fly, and they also pollute the aura. When they are in danger, they will shrink into a ball and bury it in the ground. The efficiency of killing it is very low, and it is much more difficult to deal with than the snake man, even if Lord Theodore comes in person, it is impossible to clean it up quickly."

Rhode touched his chest muscles and said with a smile, "Little Tyrion, you seem to have misunderstood a legend."

"However, worms are very hard..."

"They can become fragile very quickly."

"Who said that?"

"I said."

Just then, the door was knocked open.

A soldier covered in white smoke rushed in and shouted:
"Crisis! Commander! Another large group of bug-human monsters from Sigles has poured into the city! The west side is going to be unstoppable!"

boom.

Rhodes had already broken through the air, and Tyrion felt suffocated by the huge wind pressure. The scattered wind swept across the entire hall, blowing all the paper documents into the air.

After the updraft ends, the white paper falling from the sky is like a festival.

Tyrion's heart suddenly seemed to be touched by something.

Many people are still in a daze, not knowing what happened.

Suddenly, their commander was heard shouting: "Adjutant, immediately make a battle plan to regain the stronghold, and the others will follow me!"

-

The old city of Baira used to be a very large city relic, and after the king's city was recovered, it was used as the second-level stronghold of the third war zone.

Since the range of the guardian fire was only five miles in radius, the old city of Baila was also reduced to within five miles.

All the buildings in the city have been converted into fortifications. Apart from the combatants, the only people who live here are the logistics and production personnel who assist in the battle. They have all been transferred to the underground area of ​​the central fire protection sacrificial ground.

At this time, the soldiers were fighting the tide of insects.

These monsters resemble giant lizards with a human head, a huge tail, and four human feet.

At first glance, it is chilling.

They move very quickly, and they are not weakened by the firelight. Sparks ignite on the thick skin from time to time, but they are extinguished in an instant. There are huge membranes between human legs that can help them fly, and brown dark light surrounds them. Surrounding them, they constantly corrode the spiritual energy of the human beings fighting them.

As more insects arrived, the battle entered a fierce stage.

Behind the soldiers was the fire protection sacrificial field, and they could no longer retreat.

Dean Vera, as the only master of spells, is the absolute core of this battle. He tried his best to use spells to assist in the battle, but all powerful spells paled in front of this absolute number.

The soldiers were almost overwhelmed by the sea of ​​insects.

Vera saw a team being rushed away, and a student was thrown down by bugs. In the blink of an eye, more bugs covered him.

Severe heartache came, and he threw the aura arrow with all his strength, breaking up the bugman.

The student who was thrown down was saved, and he got up covered in blood and continued to fight, but more teams fell into crisis again.

Vera cares about one thing and loses another, unable to be saved, the trend of the battle formation collapsing is becoming more and more obvious, and despair hangs over her heart like a shadow.

Suddenly, a spell failed to be released, and the recoiled spirit made him stagger a few steps and almost fell down.

"I'm too weak!"

His hands were trembling, and Vera punched himself in the face, even breaking his teeth, but he still couldn't condense his spiritual energy.

"Why am I so weak! These things...these things can be done by the chief dean with one finger..."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"Little Vera, don't worry, a confused heart will reduce the power of spells."

"Headmaster!"

Vera turned her head in ecstasy, but what she saw was Rhodes' face.

He suddenly woke up from the hallucination, and endless loss suddenly rushed to his heart, but he immediately got rid of this emotion and returned to the serious state of the dean.

"Why are you here? Where did you go after the fall of the Boulder Lighthouse? Do you know the combat regulations?"

He pushed Rhodes away.

"It's dangerous here, you can't come here, go!"

He tried to condense his spiritual energy again, but an invisible wave came and scattered his spiritual energy.

"Little Vera." Rhodes said gently: "The spell is not used like this."

Vera turned his head in astonishment. It wasn't until this moment that he noticed that Rhodes was wearing the same robe as the chief dean and was holding the same staff as the chief dean.

The spiritual energy surged in the staff, obviously a powerful spell was brewing.

"You...you have the soul ripple of the chief dean? The chief dean separated the soul again?"

Intense joy and incompetent guilt welled up in her heart, and Vera didn't know what to say for a while.

With a tap of the staff, the wave of psionic energy spreads out, and the spell takes effect.

[Law: Silence Prohibition Act]

The realm unfolds, all voices are silenced, all illicit abilities are restrained.

A new law has appeared in this space, and any existence must abide by it.

In an instant, the brown light on all the bugmen disappeared, and polluting the aura was ruled illegal!
Vera's eyes widened: "This... this is an extremely effective prohibition decree. How much of the soul is allocated to the chief dean?"

The battlefield has suddenly changed. Pollution aura is too restrictive for soldiers. A reptile who loses aura is equivalent to losing a piece of acupuncture armor.

But this is just the beginning.

Soon, there was a flash of light on the staff, and the second spell was used.

[Law: Flight Prohibition Act]

The laws of the domain unfolded, and new laws came out.

Here, no flying!
Countless worms fell from the sky, and the worms could no longer move in pieces.

The light on the staff flashed again, and the third spell was used.

【Gravity】

The nimble and jumping bugmen were bound by gravity all of a sudden, but the soldiers were not affected too much. Their individual combat capabilities far surpassed the bugmen, but there were not so many of them.

The tide of battle began to turn, and the huddled insects did not pose any threat.

Rhodes raised his staff and used the fourth spell.

【Quat Erosion】

Gray light enveloped the audience, and everyone's defense was greatly weakened.

But humans' natural defenses are infinitely close to zero, while bugmen rely almost entirely on their outer skin.

This is yet another huge nerf to Zerg.

And humans are barely affected.

In terms of rank, insects are not strong, they are strong because they are difficult to destroy, and there are infinite numbers.

Quantities don't mean much when they're no longer difficult to kill.

In the blink of an eye, the situation of the battle turned and showed a one-sided situation.

Insects, who were as difficult to deal with as stones, suddenly became like vegetables and fruits, and were chopped up by the soldiers.

Vera could hardly believe his eyes.

These four incantations, except [Silent Restraining Law], which is a ninth-level strategic incantation, the others are five-level conventional incantations.

But no one can use this effect.

"Little Vera."

Rhodes said gently:

"Remember, in the process of casting a spell, sense the spell you cast, don't sense the perfect spell I used once, it's like when you're on a date with a lover, but your mind is thinking of another perfect spell Your lover, no matter how perfect she is, she doesn't belong to you, and this date that belongs to you will definitely be terrible."

In an instant, Vera seemed to be struck by lightning, and all the hair on her body stood on end.

He turned around suddenly and grabbed Rhodes.

"Little Rhodes... Is this what the chief dean taught you? Where did you meet him? Where is he now? How is the situation? No, no, I have to inform Wang Cheng immediately, the chief dean must not make any mistakes ..."

Rhodes said gently: "Vera, I don't have much time. I need to clean up the monsters in the city as soon as possible and regain the outer strongholds. If possible, I also want to restore the city of Laisuo and kill the abyssal serpent."

Vera woke up instantly.

"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up to support the southern battlefield! Teresa is working too hard alone..."

Vera grabbed Rhode's arm, but he flew up with him.

What is this subtle sense of dislocation?

Vera shook her head, quickly got rid of this strange feeling, and briefly explained the current situation.

It turned out that since the secret branch troops arrived in the old city of Baila, they have been fighting frequently.

Because it was fighting inside the city, they mainly fought in small teams, and most of the students from the secret branch became small captains or important members of the team, and played a pivotal role in this battle.

Among them, the top class members marked with [Strong] have become unique existences, especially Teresa and Jessica.

But Jessica was seriously injured in the previous round of attacks and was sent back to the base. Now there is only Teresa, supporting the situation on the south side.

The old city of Baira was not big, and after tens of seconds, the two arrived at the battlefield on the south side.

This place has become a sea of ​​insects, all the students marked with [Strong], and the strongest fighters in the city are fighting the insects here.

Powerful psychic fluctuations rushed towards us like a sea tide, and violent explosions continued to appear in the swarm of insects.

They haven't shown signs of defeat for the time being, but they have already been firmly trapped in the sea of ​​insects. As long as their spiritual energy is exhausted, they will be swallowed by monsters.

Rhode noticed that there was a golden flash of light moving in a large area on the battlefield, and it often spanned the entire sea of ​​insects to support comrades in crisis on the other side.

That is Teresa, the shining golden Valkyrie, wearing a golden helmet and red armor, holding a golden shield and red knife, fighting in the sea of ​​insects.

The tenacious worms were killed like nuts in front of her. Wherever the golden light went, the sea of ​​worms split like waves, and the red blade pointed at them, and worm corpses were everywhere.

Vera nodded slightly: "Teresa's strength is close to inhuman."

Rhodes felt a kind of superimposed joy, which surged up from the bottom of his heart, as if it came from Theodore and himself at the same time.

Uh... is this double the joy?

Vera said expectantly: "Little Rhodes, hurry up, use the prohibition decree again!"

Rhodes smiled and shook his head: "Little Vera, spells are not used in this way. Among all the characteristics of the soul, the talent of spells is not outstanding. We can become one of the seven major attributes because we can use wisdom to .”

Tap the staff lightly, and countless beams of light immediately shot at the soldiers on the battlefield.

【Golden Oath】

【Blessed Weapon】

【Spiritual Power Ignition】

【Ghost Shelter】

In an instant, all the fighters were strengthened, they felt spiritual energy boiling in their souls, fatigue and pain were weakening, weapons became extremely sharp, and powerful power surged into their bodies.

Among them, Teresa was specially strengthened, her whole body was full of golden light, and the bugmen around her fell down like cutting wheat.

Insects were far inferior to these fighters who could be called strong. After they were strengthened, the gap crossed the critical point, and the battle instantly became devastating.

Vera's mouth had never been opened so wide, and her jaw was dislocated.

The majestic image of the head of Kingworth's first branch has been completely lost.

Rhode said with a smile: "Little Vera, don't be dumbfounded, you have also been strengthened, go and fight."

Vera gave him a complicated look, reassuring himself that standing behind this guy who was not half his age was the chief dean.

He waved his magic staff, buried his head and rushed down, slamming a fireball among the monsters, roasting the insects until they sizzled.

Not far away, Commander Tyrion also led his men into the battlefield and contributed his own strength.

Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, the monsters in the city were wiped out.

Rhodes then used the ninth-level strategic spell [Spell Return] again, miraculously repairing the city wall and the spiritual energy generator.

So far, the crisis in the old city of Baila has been completely resolved.

Survivors poured out of their underground shelters, and cheers filled the ancient city.

Humanity has once again acquired the right to use this land.

Tyrion and Vera even have an unreal sense of dream, as if all this happened in a dream.

But as leaders, sensibility can only occupy a small part of their thinking. If such a good situation cannot be stabilized and further expanded, it will be an insult to their intelligence.

They quickly arranged various tasks after the war.

Heal the wounded, restore spiritual energy, clean the battlefield, collect ashes, communicate with the higher-level command post, report information to the royal city, and start preparing for the expedition to recover more strongholds.

The combatants can relatively enjoy a longer period of happiness. While treating their injuries, recovering their spiritual energy, and cleaning up the pollution caused by long-term contact with monsters, they enthusiastically discuss the process of victory, and guess which magic master came to help them .

Only a few people know that the super magic master who supports them is Rhodes.

Teresa is one of them.

Dean Vera called her over, briefly stated the cause and effect of the incident, and wanted to arrange for her and Rhodes to form a sharp knife to clear the way for the recovery of the stronghold.

Teresa seemed to be in high spirits. The long battle didn't make her feel tired at all, but instead made her blood flow faster and her spirit excited.

After hearing that the person who rescued them turned out to be Rhodes, Teresa's eyes were full of curiosity, she made a special trip to find Rhodes in the combat command room, and said with a smile: "Little Rhodes, I didn't expect you to really come to save me!" It's..."

Rhodes touched her golden breastplate and said with a smile: "Little Leisa, your growth has surpassed everyone's imagination. You are a natural god of war, and ordinary soul characteristics such as acceleration can also bloom on you. Dazzling light."

Teresa looked at him curiously, leaned close to his ear, and asked in a low voice:

"Little Rhodes, do you want me to take off the breastplate?"

Cough, cough, cough!

For a moment, everyone in the combat command room seemed to have caught a cold, and coughing rang out.

Tyrion suppressed a smile and said: "Young people pay attention to the occasion."

Vera's face collapsed all of a sudden, and she drove Teresa out. She turned her head and said to Rhodes sternly, "Don't use the headmaster's soul ripple to do such a thing!"

At this moment, a silver light flew in, turned into a spirit crow and sent a letter to Tyrion.

"News from Wangcheng!"

He said quickly after reading it.

"The Supreme Army War Department intends to recover the city of Laiso. An elite battle group has entered the third theater. Your Excellency Dalin asked Rhodes to immediately tell His Excellency Theodore to go to support."

As soon as the words fell, Rhodes disappeared, leaving only one word.

"it is good."
