the last king of darkness

Chapter 230 Void Fury

The convoy headed west along the established route.

They are routes specially developed by Wangcheng to ensure the logistics supplies of Star City, and they are relatively safe.

The expedition team will follow this route to Star City first, and then from Star City to Star Town.

Although the materials and personnel are relatively scarce, the expedition team's forty spirit horse chariots can still be called luxurious.

The spirit horse is the only spiritual creature tamed by humans. It can not only exist for a long time in the material world, but also enter a deep sleep state and shrink into a small ball that can be carried around.

The only disadvantage is that it is expensive and only eats psionic crystals.

The group of elders originally only planned to distribute some new mechanical self-propelled carriages from the Industrial Machinery Research Institute. Ordinary hearses cannot go out of the city, and the hearses that can go out of the city are also very expensive.

But the king donated his property to Rhodes.

It means that Rhodes is using his own private property to fight, and the elders have no right to comment.

The spirit horse was very fast, dragging the carriage and running wildly on the road.

This shocking pleasure is not something ordinary people can enjoy.

The territory on the west side of Wangcheng is not big.

After walking less than two hundred miles, he left the outermost perimeter of the defense circle and entered the dark world.

Walk four hundred miles west along the Dead Ember Mountains, and you will find the City of Stars.

This is an ancient city with countless treasures.

According to scholars' research, it belongs to the Starry Kingdom in the Age of Fire.

This kingdom worships the stars, and believes that they can draw power from them. The queen of the stars, the supreme ruler of the kingdom, has the only characteristic that can be passed down through blood—falling stars.

After the fall of the Starry Kingdom about 1500 years ago, the Star Queen fell into darkness, and this soul trait was never seen in the world again.

Since entering the Dark Era, human beings have been basically wiped out, and fire has disappeared from the earth, leaving only a faint light.

The ancient city has long been silent in darkness, and was only briefly controlled by Trorian 600 years ago.

When the Battle of Falling Stars failed, the human race in Trorian turned from prosperity to decline, and they never set foot here again.

until today.

Trorian's conquest legion finally gained a firm foothold in Star City and established a stable connection and supply channel with the kingdom.

However, in the long time, countless darkness has settled in this ancient city.

Although the conquest legion basically occupied the city and ignited the fire of protection, the soldiers were still cleaning up the filth and darkness in the depths, and there was no extra power to establish a defense system with the city of stars as the core stronghold.

And Fanxing Town is an important stronghold in this system.

It is located 370 miles away from the northwest corner of Star City, and is a key node of the envisioned defense system.

Through it, you can continue to move forward in all directions. It is an important stronghold for Trorian's expansion into the dark world, the starting point of a greater blueprint.

It is also why conservatives and opponents are so determined to oppose this action.

Rhodes' burden is actually much greater than imagined.

Choosing him was beyond everyone's expectations.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Captain O'Hara came to the carriage and shouted: "Commander, we have arrived at Star City."

Rhodes woke up from his contemplation, and replied: "Okay, I see."

Molly opened the compartment door, and the two got out of the car together.

They will take a short break here and meet with the Legion Commander Lockhart of the Conquest Legion and Cross, the Legion Commander of the City Defense Legion, to see if they can get some help.

Molly said softly: "If Lord Lockhart can support us with some supplies, or lend us some soldiers, the situation may change, but the possibility is not high. The road in Fanxing Town is very difficult."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Rhodes' mind.

At the same time, the oppressive feeling of the void came again, and he immediately used [Awakening].

But the breath of the void only pushed half a step forward, and the psionic energy was rapidly evaporating into nothingness.

Rhodes didn't have time to think about it, he grabbed Molly and pulled her back to the carriage.

O'Hara asked in surprise, "Master Commander?"

Rhode's answer came from inside the carriage: "Wait for me for 30 seconds."

O'Hara and the surrounding fighters looked at each other in blank dismay.

30 seconds?
What can you do in 30 seconds?
In the carriage, Rhodes had no time to talk nonsense.

He pointed directly at the map and said, "We are establishing a stronghold here, there is no better location than this."

Molly looked along his fingers, doubts appearing in her eyes for the first time.

"This is the dungeon, the monster lair."

Rhodes ignored her eyes and said quickly.

"If my plan goes well, it will be gone soon. With an underground city as a stronghold, everything will be easy to handle."

"After I leave, you lock this compartment, and no one is allowed to open it, nor allow anyone to approach it, otherwise my plan will fail, do you understand?"

Molly's expression was serious and rigid again, and other expressions always disappeared like thin ice on her hot face.

"I see."

"Then, the task of meeting with the Legion Commander is entrusted to you, and I'm leaving."

Rhode activated the spirit boat, and the white mist like paste quickly enveloped him.

Since there is no past Fanxing Town, the spirit boat cannot travel through the spirit world, nor can it automatically navigate, so it can only fly to the southwest by manual control.

The [Spirit Boat] that had reached its highest potential was extremely fast, and the soldiers only saw a white mass fly out of the carriage, and disappeared behind the black mist in the blink of an eye.

O'Hara asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Hey.

Molly got off the carriage and ordered: "Lock this carriage, and arrange five soldiers to guard it in turn, and no one is allowed to approach."

O'Hara came to her senses, although she felt strange, but obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty.

"Yes, Lord Deputy Commander."

"Kang De, come with me to see the leader of the legion."

"Yes, Lord Deputy Commander."

Molly, who was tall and serious, walked towards the Star City not far away with a strong aura.

The vice-captain Konder followed behind Molly. He was not as tall as Molly, which brought out her strength even more.

In the thick darkness, Rhodes was flying to the southwest at an astonishing speed.

The map has been imprinted in his mind, and his super high spiritual vision also prevents him from getting lost.

Rhodes' thinking is very clear now.

Just now, he had set the resurrection point of the resurrection stone in the carriage.

Now, he was about to rush into the monster's lair and kill himself.

If the deduction is correct, his death will have some powerful effects.

When the Kuroshio mission was carried out last time, there was a particularly strong disturbance at the second node.

It was this disturbance that magnified the effect of the original plan, which led to the overall turn of the Kuroshio, and the disaster ended early.

The War Department of the Wangcheng Army, the White Tower, and many societies are still studying this issue, trying to find the cause of the disturbance so that it can be used again in the future.

From the spiritual world to the astrology, from the monster mutation to the chaotic system, they searched all the reasons, but they couldn't find a statement that convinced most people.

Only Rhodes knew that the only difference between the second node and the first node was that he died there.

Instead of being killed by monsters, it was eaten back by the void.

In his impression, when he died, that powerful force didn't seem to stop, but became more violent.

From this, Rhodes came up with a deduction.

This kind of abnormal death may trigger some kind of strong explosion.

Rhodes had an idea after overusing psionic energy at the dragon.

The first thing he did when he took office in Fanxing Town was to use a super self-destruction to open up the situation.

However, where is the location of self-destruction?

This is what Rhodes has been thinking about before.

Was it detonated in Fanxing Town?Or detonate around?

Or detonate in the most dangerous Ithorn ruins?
It wasn't until Molly's words reminded Rhodes when they arrived in Star City.

In the process of establishing a new human base, the smoothness of the route is the most important.

If they were cut off from the world of fire, wouldn't they be orphans wandering alone in the darkness?

From the map, the dungeon lair to the east of Fanxing Town is the biggest obstacle, just cutting off a perfect route.

If this rock could be removed, the passages between them and the King City and Star City would be greatly shortened, and with a little cleaning, it would become much safer.

Moreover, monster lairs that are easily disturbed are obviously the most dangerous factor in the conquest and must be eliminated in advance.

If they are lucky, they will also get a perfect dungeon stronghold.

Such a stronghold that serves multiple purposes, of course it is none other than it.

Rhode's heart exploded with blood, desperately urging the spirit boat to fly towards it.

The spirit boat consumes a lot of psionic energy, but it is nothing compared to the powerful attraction in the void.

Under the infinite [awakening], even leftovers are not counted.

But for a moment, Rhodes had already seen the huge monster lair.

The breath of the abyss is very obvious, black cracks are scattered in all directions, there is a huge scar on the ground, and some abyss monsters and strange demons are wandering on the ground.

In the center of the scar, there is a huge circular pit.

Thick black mist gathered in the pit, even the eyes of the soul couldn't penetrate it, and the endless darkness was like an abyss.

Obviously, that is the legendary abandoned dungeon.

it is good!
That's it!

Rhodes turned around and rushed straight into the giant pit.

Taste the wrath of the void!

-

On a depression next to the huge pit.

Dozens of shadows are carefully shrinking under a boulder, and an invisible barrier blocks their aura.

They are the shadow troops raised by Justice Amory, and they do some shady things for him.

At this moment, they have prepared the cauldron, and they are waiting for the expedition team to arrive near Fanxing Town, where they will detonate the monster lair and let them be devoured by strange monsters.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "What is that?"

Everyone looked up, but the white shadow passed by in a flash and crashed into the huge pit.

"Are you dazzled?"

"I did see it."

"Let me concentrate, it's very dangerous here."

"But I did see it."

"Are you finished..."

"To shut up!"

The captain suddenly spoke. He closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then said: "No, news came from inside the Star City that they didn't see that kid, and some people in the expedition team said that someone saw a white light flying away gone."

Everyone lifted their spirits at once.

"Captain, you mean, that kid flew into the huge pit alone?"

"What does he want to do?"

The captain said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing."

"what should we do?"

"Start the plan immediately and detonate the lair directly. No matter what that kid wants to do, he will be swallowed by the abyss. As long as he dies, this expedition will fail by [-]%!"

"Yes! That's right!"

"Your wisdom is so profound!"

"With you here, we will surely succeed!"

"As long as this mission is successful, we can go back and enjoy ourselves!"

Amidst the touting, everyone prepared hundreds of fire pots and threw them into the giant pit.

-

This is an unprecedented huge pit.

Its radius is about [-] steps, and countless strange monsters and abyssal monsters are densely packed on the walls. Black sticky matter is everywhere, and the corrosive breath of the abyss rushes straight to the nose. The whole huge pit is like hell. .

But Rhodes still found traces of man-made objects from this terrifying scene.

There are square engravings and ladder-like structures everywhere on the walls of the giant pit.

They are neat and regular, like rows of rooms and stairs.

This huge pit itself is an underground city?
This thought flashed through Rhode's mind, and the void had seized him. No matter how many times he used [Awakening], the void would not take half a step back.

The terrifying aura was approaching him, and the infinite amount of psionic energy he owed formed an incomparably huge hole, firmly sucking him in, and the psionic energy produced by each [awakening] disappeared instantly.

The backlash of the void is about to erupt!

Rhodes was very anxious.

He found that the dungeon was much deeper than he had imagined, and countless strange demons were entrenched in it, and an outbreak might not be cleaned up.

How can we gather the monsters together?
Rhode's spiritual power is no longer available, the spirit boat has disappeared, and he is now falling freely.

Some strange demons noticed him and were flying towards him.

But this amount is far from enough.

Rhodes desperately wanted to attract attention, but he couldn't make much noise without spiritual power.

Oops, I didn't just blow up half of it, did I?

Wouldn't it be even more troublesome to have strange monsters crawling around all over the place?
Suddenly, a huge strange monster flew close, and hundreds of thin black threads flew out from behind it, stabbing at him.

At the same time, the void of fury also rushed towards his face.

We can only hope that the power of void backlash is strong enough.

Rhodes thought to himself, when he was about to close his eyes and wait to die, something exploded above his head.

The intense fire light instantly illuminated the entire giant pit, and the raging flames were blown away like an inflated balloon, and the aura of decay was scattered everywhere.

The huge noise immediately alarmed all the monsters in the huge pit.

A black mass poured out from the sky and the ground, and the entire huge pit seemed to be filled with water, and black things gushed out wildly.

Rhodes was overjoyed, and used [Awakening] crazily, hoping to prolong it by half a second.

The black tide submerged him in the blink of an eye, the spikes of the strange demon pierced his body, and severe pain came from the nerves.

But Rhodes has already shown a smile.

His purpose was achieved.

Whoever it is, thank you.

boom!
Rhodes was torn apart by strange demons, but something more terrifying came from the origin of his death.

Except for a worthless body, the red-eyed Void didn't get anything from Rhodes. It frantically devoured the surrounding monsters to make up for its unparalleled huge void.

All monsters are grasped by invisible hands, all spiritual substances are sucked into the invisible twisted space, and the overwhelming blackness cannot make up for its strong suction.

The gravitational force of the void even spread to the ground, pulling the shadow crowd who were about to use the flickering spell to escape.

"How come..."

Before they could finish a sentence, their bodies and souls had been swallowed by the void, leaving only clothes and sundries on the ground.

-

city ​​of stars.

Inside the chariot of the spirit horse.

Rhodes opened his eyes again.
