the last king of darkness

Chapter 199 Don't Let Us Down

Rhodes was taken aback.

Does the king want to see me?
It has been a long time since the last meeting, and many things happened during this period, but Rhodes still has a deep memory of that time.

The king told him that the holy fire was going out.

The intensification of the internal disputes in the royal city was due to his seclusion and the increasingly severe situation outside Trorian.

Wangcheng's indulgence and tolerance of certain people is because they need their strength.

In order to survive, human beings have to give up some things.

In addition, I also chatted with him about "Instant Shot". Under his guidance, Rhodes learned how to actively use "Instant Shot", which greatly enhanced the power of [Psionic Multiplayer].

In the end, Wang told Rhodes that Trorian was very much looking forward to the emergence of new stars, and the more burdens he could bear, the more free he would be to change everything and pick up what he had given up.

Humph.

Am I strong enough now?
Can you hand over some of the burden to me?

Rhodes is full of confidence.

And so it was.

After the investigation team left, the Fire Priest arrived soon and took him into the Holy Fire Sacrificial Site.

Rhodes met the supreme leader of this human country for the second time.

He didn't change much, he was wearing a golden and white robe full of flame patterns, and a burning flame crown on his head. He was full of vicissitudes and majesty, but his eyes were full of gentle smiles.

The first thing Wang said when he saw him was: "I have an important task for you."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Of course it's no problem, you should feel my powerful strength and surging spiritual energy, this is a correct decision, you can rest assured to entrust the burden to me..."

Wang Shi smiled and said: "I'm sorry, little Rhodes, I really can't perceive such a small change in you. I didn't have your plan originally. This action is too dangerous for you."

He paused and said softly.

"This is the request of the chief dean."

Rhodes was stunned: "The chief dean's request?"

Wang nodded his head slightly, his eyes turned dark, and a touch of sadness passed by in a flash.

"I received a soul call from the chief dean. He believes that you can complete this extremely important task, and if you have such a merit, you can block all doubts that think you are just a carrier of Theodore, and Completely wash away the guilt of publicly killing the justice."

"In this way, you have the qualifications to serve as a superior in Wangcheng."

Rhodes was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Chief Dean, so you also thought of it?
Haha, your wisdom is indeed on par with mine.

Wang said softly: "Although Theodore didn't tell me the reason, I believe him, little Rhodes, go to the War Department, Dalin will arrange everything, if you really succeed, there will be many things in the future .”

Two fire priests fell from the sky and lifted Rhodes up.

Before he could say goodbye, they flew out of the holy fire sacrificial field and arrived at the castle of the Supreme Army War Department just north of the sacrificial field.

This is a majestic and serious building, standard and meticulous are its biggest features, the exact same side length and perfect symmetry make it look like a square enlarged tens of thousands of times.

The interior of the cube is very busy, with countless workers shuttling back and forth, and people rushing along with a lot of paper or working crystals can be seen everywhere.

In a huge room in the center of the castle, Rhodes met the actual head of the Supreme War Department, the first chief of defense who was in charge of all war affairs of the Trorian human kingdom.

Yolevi Dalin.

This is the second time Rhodes saw him.

He is a serious, middle-aged man with a square face, a bushy brown beard, gray temples, and a faint smell of cigarette smoke.

"sit."

He said calmly.

"I'm glad we met again. Since the matter is more urgent, I won't talk nonsense."

"According to the intelligence of the survey legion, the front of the Kuroshio is likely to pass through Trorian. With our current defenses, it may cause great losses."

"Fortunately, Liszt discovered two nodes, and there is a certain chance to change the direction of the Kuroshio."

"It's an extremely dangerous task, requiring a lot of rot to be placed in the dark depths far from Trorian. Oh, do you know what rot is?"

Rhodes replied: "The highly corrupted spiritual items are very attractive to monsters."

"Not bad."

Dalin showed a gratified smile, subconsciously took out a cigarette from the drawer, lit it with a flint, and took a deep breath.

"You are really different. You have been involved in so many important events in just a few months after entering school, and your knowledge far exceeds that of ordinary students. When I am with you, I am still a little brat who doesn't know anything except picking up girls. Girl, my biggest dream is to open a harem, with thousands of wives, who surround me in the light of day...cough cough cough."

Rhodes smiled and said, "It's okay, I thought about it too, men are like this."

Dalin smiled and said: "Little guy, when you are really married, you won't think like this anymore. A wife can squeeze you dry, making you unwilling to think about anything but work, and sleeping with women becomes a nightmare... …Ahem, cough, I mean, not all men are like this. For example, Alan, he only loved his wife all his life. After she died, countless women were willing to accompany him, but he declined all of them. , we are still alone, in fact, we are also very worried, and we have tried countless methods but have not succeeded..."

The adjutant at the side coughed: "Your Excellency Dalin, you're digressing again."

"Oh." Dalin came to his senses and said with a broken smile, "I'm sorry, every time I see a promising young man, I can't help but say a few more words."

He took a few deep puffs of his cigarette and his expression became serious.

"This task is very dangerous and very important. According to our rules, it was impossible for you to participate in it, but..."

Dalin smiled again, the way the square-faced middle-aged man opened his mouth gave him a special sense of joy.

"You happen to be responsible for killing Gregor, and the Supreme War Department has the right to send you on the most dangerous missions, do you know that there are a group of people in the royal city who particularly hate you, this is the right they won for you, The purpose is to put you to death, you must make good use of this opportunity."

Rhodes couldn't help showing a smile, which was a little strange.

"Why do they hate me? Because I publicly killed Lord Magistrate Gregor?"

Dalin took a puff of his cigarette, and pondered: "Maybe, but I guess the more important thing is that Your Excellency Qingyu protects you, making them think you are Qingyu's."

"Uh, is Qingyu hated by others?"

"No, it's just because she is walking the way of the king, and many people want to change."

Rhodes asked strangely: "Why? After the king took office, isn't Trorian much stronger and more prosperous than before?"

There was a little coldness in Dalin's smile.

"It is, but some people are not doing as well as they used to be."

Rhodes knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and frowned, "Why didn't you kill them?"

Dalin shook his head slightly.

"The king is tolerant and kind. If he kills people just because of different opinions, then how can he be tolerant and kind? Isn't this just eliminating dissidents? We need to unite all forces that can be united. In this dark In the epoch of the era, only when human beings are united can they survive."

The adjutant coughed again: "Your Excellency Dalin, let's get down to business."

Dalin smiled and said, "Sorry, I can't help but digress, maybe there are too many things recently."

"Little Rhodes, you will join the team of Dmitri, the Undefeated Iron Forge City, and perform this mission as a scout. The departure time is today, and my adjutant will arrange everything for you."

Rhodes was taken aback: "Today? Are you in such a hurry?"

Dalin nodded slightly.

"Yes, logically speaking, we shouldn't send a combatant who has just returned from the front line to perform a new mission immediately, but the king trusts you, and he thinks you are fully qualified for this mission."

"Little Rhodes, don't let him down."

Dalin's tone became serious, his eyes sparkled, as if he saw a ray of light.

"Don't let us down either."
