the last king of darkness

Chapter 211 Witness
Sure enough, this sentence was approved by most of the elders.

The King's Guard has always been the elite of the elite. They not only shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the king's district, but also lead the team to hunt monsters and deal with threats in many cases.

It is obviously very inappropriate for a newly promoted combatant to become the Hand of the King.

Even if the privilege is used to achieve the goal, without the approval of the Supreme Council at all, it will be difficult to carry out future work.

So, there is only one option for this question.

Wang Chensheng said: "Then let's do the battle rating."

Combat rating is the most important assessment in Trorian, which aims to fully understand the actual capabilities of combatants in order to maximize the deployment of combat power.

According to the Trorian system, combatants are divided into nine ranks.

The ninth level is the weakest, and most of the Jinworth students who have just graduated are at this level.

The strongest at the first level, they are all directly named figures in the war department, and one person can reach a regiment.

Combat level is not only related to combat effectiveness, but also directly related to status and salary, and many positions also have minimum combat level requirements, and low-level combatants are not qualified to take up the position.

However, performing combat ratings will consume resources, and the higher the combat rating, the more so.

Therefore, in addition to the standard ratings that must be taken at the time of graduation, mid-to-high-level combat ratings are not allowed to be performed frequently. In addition to the interval of more than two years, actual combat performance endorsements are required before applications are allowed.

And fifth-level combatants are already very close to high-level combatants, and its rating is not an easy matter.

Archbishop Horus said anxiously: "My lord, little Rhodes has only been a fire bearer for less than half a year, why..."

Wang smiled and said, "Let's leave it at that. This is Wangcheng's system and rules. Little Rhodes' past record is enough to meet the standard for application."

Manolobana said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the fifth-level combat rating will consume a lot of resources. I think Rhodes' chances of success are very slim, so there is no need to proceed."

An elder also said: "We are about to enter a period of large-scale repairs, and the peak rating has arrived. The Sealand military combat base is very busy, and the number of mid- and high-level ratings is very tight. If our little hero is not sure, I also don't think it's necessary, of course, in order to make up for his loss, I can marry my granddaughter to him..."

"Ahem." Horus interrupted him with a series of coughs.

"I think it's okay. If he doesn't pass, the combat rating will be at his own expense."

This proposal was approved by the elders, and Wangcheng's finances are also very tight, especially since the king does not allow more silver cables to be issued. Self-finance is the word that the elders like to hear most recently.

That's how the matter was settled.

The Zealand military combat base will spend 30 days preparing a fifth-level combat rating for Rhodes.

In this rating, Rhodes will be allowed to use all means, including but not limited to his own commonly used firearms, weapons, and items, he can take medicines approved by the rating committee, and he can use limited use of his own creations.

The rating committee gave him enough fighting space to capture monsters corresponding to the challenge level, and set up the most professional and comprehensive tests for him. At the same time, more senior fighters will be present to ensure that he will not be affected by the rating. Life is in danger.

In the end, the rating committee gave a score according to the rules. As long as it exceeds the standard line, Rhodes will jump from a new ninth-level combatant to a fifth-level combatant with half a foot on the threshold of a big boss.

Of course, most people didn't believe he could succeed.

The Financial Secretary of Wangcheng Resources is already gearing up to collect money.

The fifth-level battle rating, at least you have to charge [-] silver ropes.

This is not a small amount, and the director, who is worrying about the shortfall in the amount of money, is all smiles, and even considers promoting this special case.

In this case, he would no longer have to worry about the silver rope.

-

After the discussion, Rhodes was called to the sacred fire sacrificial field alone.

Archbishop Horus said with a sad face: "Little Rhodes, it seems that we can't directly appoint you as the Hand of the King. You must perform a battle rating. You may not have confidence..."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I am very confident."

Horus sighed softly: "Little Rhodes, don't comfort us..."

"No, Your Excellency the Archbishop, I am really confident, please believe me."

Horus looked at him suspiciously, then glanced at the calm Wang, and said hesitantly, "Really?"

Rhodes nodded vigorously: "Really."

Horus was full of doubts.

It is not without precedent that the ninth-level combatants jump straight to the fifth level, but those are all characters with the [Super] and [Extreme] logos. They have long had super-powerful psychic powers and similar records. Before the test, Wangcheng had already The result was foreseen.

And Rhodes was unremarkable when he entered the academy. Although he performed brilliantly afterwards, his combat ability was not too strong, and his spiritual power was especially weak.

According to Trorian's standard, the level 160 combatants generally have a spiritual strength of around [-] thousand ticks, while Rhodes only has less than one-fifth of it, making it almost impossible to succeed.

However, he has won the absolute trust and final entrustment of His Excellency Theodore.

Lord Theodore's wisdom is beyond my measure.

Maybe, Horus thought, he saw a future that I didn't.

Thinking of this, the doubts in Horus' heart dissipated.

Rhodes also looks full of confidence.

After he listened to the detailed rules of combat rating, he knew that he would definitely not get an ultra-low score like in the test at the hidden base.

No means are prohibited. The ancient god Heragatos of the River of Eternal Death fled in front of me. Isn't it easy to pass a rating?
Especially after seeing the items in the stone platform, Rhodes became more confident.

The super hole card he obtained in the battle of the third theater has not been used until now.

In addition to powerful items like [Flesh Puppet], [Flesh Armor], and [Soul Defense], there are also lore items like [Carles Tongwen Heavy Cannon] and [Pioneer of Destruction].

At that time, the time was too tight, one event after another, he didn't have time to make it at all.

However, he doesn't necessarily need to use these destructive items, maybe he will end the rating once he launches [Psionic Sextet] and [Soul Crit].

Of course, in order to avoid overturning, all items must be prepared.

He must meet the challenge with a complete attitude.

Wang obviously thought the same as him, he said gently: "Little Rhodes, you have to go back to the hidden branch during this time, your combat skills are still very weak, and you need more training, Sauron will help you Arrange everything."

Rhodes was surprised: "Do I still want to go back to the secret branch?"

"Of course, even if you become the Hand of the King, your identity as a member of the hidden branch will not be lost. You are still a member of the hidden branch."

Rhodes scratched his head: "Why? Is it necessary?"

Wang said gently: "Yes, Little Rhodes, taking office in Fanxing Town is far more difficult than you imagined. The Supreme Council does not approve of my further expansion plan. There are many voices of opposition, just based on my previous prestige and The status of the king reluctantly agrees."

"But they will not actively implement it, and there will be many constraints."

"So, when you encounter difficulties in Fanxing Town, you won't get much help, and you have to rely on yourself."

"You need to find more partners. These 30 days are not only a time for you to adjust your preparations, but also a time for you to develop contacts and form a team. Retaining the identity of a member of the secret branch can also help with this. Can you understand what I mean ?”

As a person with knowledge and experience far beyond his age, Rhodes understood Wang's words in an instant, and replied solemnly: "I understand."

"That's good."

Wang smiled slightly, and the holy fire that reached the sky burned behind him, dyeing his smile golden.

"Little Rhodes, do you know?"

"Not only the First Elder, Armando, but even I, Horus, don't believe that you can pass the rating, and no one in us believes that you can bear this burden. It is only because of Theodore's soul entrustment that you leave up to this point."

"So, I sincerely hope that you can exceed our expectations and slap us in the face with irrefutable facts, and slap all those who don't believe you, doubt you, and deny you in the face."

For a moment, Rhodes felt his blood rushing to the top of his head.

He said in a firm voice: "I will, please believe me."

"It's a word."

Wang held out his hand.

"It's a word."

Rhodes also stretched out his hand.

In this way, under the background of the holy flame reaching the sky, under the witness of Archbishop Horus, the hands of the two were tightly held together.
