the last king of darkness

Chapter 226 True Victory

"The first elder, Amando, is a stubborn conservative. In his eyes, the holy fire is everything. How many people die is not as important as it."

"The same is true for the elders. They can maintain stability when they are in turmoil, but they will hinder development when they are aggressive."

Wang's voice was heavy.

"And there is no essential difference between me and them. If the torch plan fails, I can only choose to give up the outer city."

"Trollian will be hit hard because of this, and the number of people who will eventually die because of this is far more than 3000 million, maybe 5000 million, or even 7000 million."

"We're going to go back 100 years to where we were in 1225."

"All the hard work and all the sacrifices in the past 100 years have all been in vain."

"In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening, I created the Holy Fire Project."

"In the ancient human era, there were countless fire king cities. Under the spread of the black mist, they overturned one by one. The former human kingdom became a monster's lair, and the strong who once guarded human beings became our nightmare."

"And in the ashes of the extinguished holy fire, there are seeds of the holy fire."

"As long as the seed of the holy fire is thrown into the holy fire, we can obtain its source."

"As long as there is enough source support, the holy flame will return to normal and even become stronger."

"However, these former Fire King cities are all in the extremely dangerous dark depths."

"Beside every seed of the holy fire, there is a monster that was once called the king."

"And the seed of holy fire is a very special source matter. The source it possesses has a strong attraction to monsters. They will devour the seed of holy fire that has the source and become stronger."

"Only by killing the monster that devours it can the Seed of the Holy Fire be obtained."

"It's like killing the abyss serpent to get the blood of ancient Ross, and killing the dusk giant to get the eternal fog."

The king stood up and looked up at the golden flame.

The surging flame is the only force that can fight against the terrifying darkness.

"The Holy Fire Project is our expedition to the dark world."

"The city of stars is just the first step."

"We will go all the way to the west, smash all the monsters that stand in our way, occupy the storm pass that the most powerful Trorian has reached 600 years ago, and use it as a base to launch an expedition to the northern Dead Earth Continent, attack Go down to Tasnian Star City and take its holy fire seed."

The king's eyes were burning with golden flames, which were clearly visible under the holy fire that soared into the sky.

"Rhode, do you understand? This is our holy fire plan."

"A plan that sounds insane, none of the elders will agree."

Horus nodded and said, "Not only conservatives, but even radicals will not be on our side."

"However, we still gathered many fellow travelers, including Lord Theodore."

Rhodes was also very shocked. There was a fear of facing a huge monster in his heart, but there was also a strong sense of excitement. The blood was rushing in the blood vessels, and the heart was beating fast, as if something was about to break through the ground.

"us……"

His voice trembled a little, and he paused to calm down his tone.

"Is there any chance of success?"

Wang smiled and said: "I don't know what chance we have of winning, but I want human beings to walk proudly on this land, without compulsion, helplessness forced by the situation, and unavoidable sacrifice and pain. With their heads held high and their homes guarded, civilians free to choose their lives, Trorian can be a home for all."

Horus added: "Even if the torch project cannot be fully successful due to various reasons, we can still obtain a larger living space and can relocate people from the outer city."

"In this way, it is also an option for us to actively reduce the intensity of the torch and reduce the scope of the torch while making various preparations."

For a moment, Rhodes smiled.

"I understand, let it go, no need to worry."

The three looked at each other and smiled.

A wonderful sense of tacit understanding arises, as if they have been comrades-in-arms on the same road for many years, and there is no need to say a lot.

-

After that, Horus sent Rhodes to the Supreme War Department.

The king continued to guard the sacred fire sacrificial field.

The holy fire has been changing frequently recently, and he must always guard the holy fire and consume his own power to keep the fire running.

It was also to prevent everyone from being suspicious of the king's secluded Jane, so he found Lilith.

This is a beautiful woman who is very vain and eager for status. She happily became the king's woman and used it to domineering everywhere.

In the early years, there was still some restraint, but as the structure of the holy fire became more and more endangered, Wang Yue became more and more reclusive, ignoring affairs, coupled with the slowdown of Trorian's expansion, the pressure increased, and internal conflicts began to sharpen.

Lilith became an excellent shield, and her vanity and arrogance made her never mention the king's neglect of her, and tried her best to pretend to be the appearance that the king was indulging in her beauty, and ran amok everywhere.

Wang's indulgence to her also proves this point from the side.

Many people hated her deeply, and many who worshiped the king were unwilling to mention this woman.

But as the king of Trorian, he has only one lover, and it is difficult to criticize him from this aspect.

It wasn't until now that Rhodes understood that the fact that Wang lived in seclusion and became incomprehensible from a powerful leader was not because he was indulging in the harem, but because he spent a lot of energy in order to maintain the operation of the holy fire and devoted himself to advancing the holy fire plan.

Naturally, it is impossible to hold power as firmly as before.

Rhodes made up his mind and must do his best to complete the development of Fanxing Town so that Wang can successfully carry out the holy fire plan.

There is no doubt that this will bring him a huge amount of divinity.

The huge amount of divinity will also bring him more resurrection stones, so he no longer has to worry about survival.

Not only that, but he can also make more soul firewood and ignite more stars.

Divinity can even directly kill invaders in times of crisis. This is how Rhodes survived the first two crises.

It can be said that this is the foundation of his standing.

it is good!
Rhodes felt his blood burn.

I am the mayor of Fanxing Town!
-

Horus told him that due to resistance from all sides, the resources for this expedition are not many, but it is also beneficial.

If Rhodes can eliminate monsters, purify pollution, rekindle the fire of protection, successfully occupy Fanxing Town, establish a new order, and turn this land into a territory where humans can live.

The opinions of many people in the royal city will change, and the implementation of the torch plan will be much smoother.

-

In the Supreme War Department, Rhodes met the First Defense Chief Lin.

He is also a member of the Holy Fire Project.

Rhodes asked curiously: "Your Excellency Dalin, you also support the Holy Fire Project, isn't the king the majority?"

There was a smile on Dalin's serious face like a knife, and his gray sideburns made him look very vicissitudes.

"Little Rhodes, the War Department is a very large and complicated organization. Besides me, there are also the second chief of defense, the first commander, the chiefs of the major legions, the guardians, and the elders also have the right to consult. My Although the status is high, it cannot be resolved with one word, and we need to discuss many things through combat meetings."

"Oh." Rhodes understood, "Why don't we create a dictatorship mechanism?"

Dalin smiled and said: "Little Rhodes, your thinking is very dangerous. No one can guarantee that he will always be right. Sailing on this dark sea, every choice is faced with infinite unknowns. No one can easily bear such mental pressure."

"Moreover, a person who can make everyone obey unconditionally must have two characteristics."

"First, he has the strength to convince everyone."

"Second, he has the ability to convince everyone."

Dalin sighed lightly.

"The previous king could do both, but, you know."

"Other than that, there is no one else. People with such abilities are not strong enough to convince the public, and people with strong strength don't have such details in every aspect."

"A small number of people who have both these qualities are unwilling to implement a system where only one person speaks."

"Of course, this refers to the royal city, and in many areas, legions, and battle clusters, there are quite a few such people."

Dalin looked at him with gray eyes, and there was a strange smile in his eyes.

"Little Rhodes, don't try to be this kind of person. You are not yet 17 years old this year, and you are the youngest fighter in history. I don't know why you can take on this role like Wang, but we both believe in Theo What an adult's choice."

"I will appoint Molly to be your adjutant. She has rich experience. Although you are the chief in name, you have to follow her opinions on many things."

The cold female adjutant stood beside Dalin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and nodded solemnly to Rhodes.

Rhodes returned a slightly embarrassed smile.

It was Molly who assisted him in understanding various defense affairs during the few days he stayed in the War Department, and he learned a lot.

This female assistant is tall and beautiful, but very serious and cold, just like the former head teacher, making Rhodes very restrained.

Dalin paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"But geniuses in history cannot be judged by common sense. Age is not an obstacle. At the age of 16, Alan had already served as a guardian as a student. As soon as he graduated from Jinworth College, he became the Four Horsemen of the King."

"Therefore, you still have absolute discretion and can order Molly to do anything for you, but..."

Dalin looked at him seriously.

"My child, please use this power carefully. The real victory is not how many monsters are killed, but to inspire the fighting spirit in our hearts."
