the last king of darkness

Chapter 272

When Rhodes was about to take Mephis to the battle base to meet his comrades in arms, a loud bell rang through Fanxing Town.

The affairs officers of Fanxing Town ran all over the street, shouting: "Monster attack! Level [-] battle preparation! Non-combatants return to the shelter immediately! Don't stay on the street!"

"Repeat! Level [-] combat preparation, non-combatants evacuate immediately!"

The pace of the flow of people suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the refuge—the dungeon to the east.

Although people's faces were tense, there was no fear.

Many people also spontaneously maintained order and organized evacuation.

Today's Fanxing Town's defense mechanism is quite complete, thanks to Molly's contribution.

As a senior dispatcher of the War Department, she is very familiar with the defense of the town. After occupying the main body of Fanxing Town, she designated the dungeon to the east as an emergency shelter in case of war.

The special structure of the dungeon makes it very safe. The walls and gates reinforced by psionic energy are very strong. The Kingdom of Stars used to build it as a battle base, but now times have passed, and the east of Stars Town is no longer boundless darkness. The world, but the King City of Trorian, while the Starry Kingdom to the west has become a paradise for monsters.

The battle base becomes a sanctuary, and there is no better place for it.

Such things were not uncommon for the inhabitants of Trorian, and Rhodes, the invincible defender, gave them a considerable sense of security, and they believed that he would triumph again, as before.

But Rhodes frowned.

He remembered that he had told Molly not to use Level [-] combat preparation if it was not a particularly urgent situation.

will affect production.

"Go and see what's going on."

Rhodes took Mephis' hand and hurried to the battle base in the center of the town.

His current speed is extremely fast, dozens of times faster than before, but Mephis' speed is still comparable to his.

"This girl, I used to let it go." Rhodes thought to himself.

They soon came to the battle base.

At a glance, all the fighters from Fanxing Town had gathered in the huge square.

Under the bright firelight, the crowded people could not see the end at a glance, but no one whispered to each other, and all the teams were lined up neatly, waiting for the commander's order.

Although their combat level is not high, they can become official combatants after rigorous training.

They know very well how to fight monsters. The consequence of acting without authorization to disrupt order is to kill themselves, implicate their teammates, and make the already dim fire of human civilization even more dim.

If only compared to the elite level of training, Rhodes is far inferior to them, his growth is leaps and bounds, and this is the case with the aptitude of genius, which is different and enviable.

Rhodes was worried that he would be jealous and suppressed.

But in the process of his growth, all he encountered was the ecstasy of being able to hug his thigh and the dissatisfaction that he disliked his slow growth.

This can be regarded as the characteristic of Trorian.

Extremely strong, extremely eager for the strong to appear.

Just like it is now.

When Rhodes appeared on the square, the orderly team became chaotic, and people rushed over, eager to hear his voice, feel his invincible aura, and expect him to perform miracles again.

The square was chaotically full of voices calling his name, and thousands of words finally converged into one sentence.

"Black idiot, invincible!"

Rhode's face was contorted with anger.

But this is Theodore's protection for him. His Tinder name has been crucified and cannot be changed.

"We must find a way to get a more prestigious nickname in the future." Rhodes thought secretly: "Otherwise they will always be my first kindling to call me, I really can't bear it."

He asked the captains to regroup immediately, and then led Mephis into the hall.

The battle meeting has already begun.

The host was Molly, and the participants included squadron leader O'Hara, Konder, Beowwood, special members Alo, Vivienne, Annabe and others.

Their faces were very solemn, staring at the sand table made up of a large cloud of shining mist in the center.

This is a psionic imager, generally used to simulate a battlefield.

The white mist that shines in the middle is Fanxing Town. It has a strange shape. It is connected to the Ghost Lake in the south, like an upside-down wedge.

Beyond the white mist is light black mist, which represents the dark world not illuminated by fire, and it occupies [-]% of the space on the sand table.

The shiny wedges took up only a pitiful bit of space.

What is more striking is that there is a light brown slender "tail" at the end of it, which extends beyond the sand table.

This is the opened road, which leads to the Star City in the northeast.

All personnel and materials are transported through this road.

Molly said: "This is a gift from Maihara to us. It is a super-large spiritual imager, which is generally not available. Due to the large proportion of its battlefield, Fanxing Town looks a bit small."

Vivian said softly: "This is a good thing. Our victory has always been too easy. Many people have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy, thinking that as long as Lord Rhodes fights, everything will be fine, but this is not the case, just like We have seen that we are insignificant in front of the real dark world, we can win a hundred times, a thousand times, but as long as we lose once, everything will be over."

Molly nodded lightly: "Awei is right, if you see the super giant psionic imager in Wangcheng, you will know that the whole Trorian is just a speck of dust in front of the dark world .”

Everyone's face turned pale, and their expressions were very ugly.

Rhodes smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Molly stopped him with stern eyes.

"Okay... this is Memphis, my partner."

Rhode sat down, and Memphis stood behind him without saying a word.

"Molly, what's going on here? Didn't I tell you not to prepare for a first-level battle lightly?"

Molly glanced at Memphis with vigilant eyes, and then said: "According to the report from the senior investigators of the Survey Corps stationed in Fanxing Town, we may have encountered the worst disaster so far."

She holds a black pointer and points to the northwest of the sand table.

There is a large piece of floating black particles, which are moving slowly, and the size has exceeded the area of ​​Fanxing Town.

"This is the incoming wave of monsters."

Rhodes was slightly startled, so many monsters?

After incorporating the dungeon in the east, the ghost lake in the south and the area between them, the area of ​​Fanxing Town has exceeded [-] square thousand yards.

According to Rhodes' calculation, one yard is approximately equal to 0.98-0.99 meters, and five hundred square thousand yards can basically be equivalent to five hundred square kilometers.

What is this concept?
If adults stood shoulder to shoulder on this land, 15 billion people could be accommodated.

Of course, monsters can't stick together that closely, and their size is usually far beyond that of humans.

But for such a large area, there are at least tens of thousands of them.

Rhodes frowned: "Why are there so many monsters attacking us?"

Molly said solemnly: "We have confirmed that this is man-made. The news will be sent back to Wangcheng immediately, and the investigation will be accelerated immediately. Those bugs hiding in the dark will not be able to hide for long."

"But what we have to face now is this crisis first."

Next, Molly began to explain the types and characteristics of monsters.

This group of monsters are not high in rank, they only reach the Cheng level, not even the fierce level, but they are the monsters that all combatants are least willing to see.

They are called Aries Demons.

According to the research of the Wangcheng Rose School, this is the product of the corruption of the demons who strayed from the abyss in ancient times, and they have two very troublesome characteristics at the same time.

Abyss and proliferation.

Every monster of the abyss has the characteristics of the abyss, and they will automatically emit the breath of the abyss to pollute the earth.

If the pollution is severe enough, this area will become an abyss, and the black mist will gather in the abyss, and the abyss monster will be born.

This is how dungeons become abyssal lairs.

And another attribute, multiplication, can make the Aries Demon split when it takes fatal damage, turning into a smaller Aries Demon.

After the small ones die, they will split again until they split into fine dust.

It is a heavy pollutant, not only will it release a large amount of abyssal breath, but it will also attract black mist like decay.

If they fight within the range of the fire, the overwhelming dust will attract a large amount of black mist into the fire, compressing the range of the fire, and even extinguishing the fire.

If they fight outside the range of the fire, the motes will drift in the black mist for a while, and after absorbing enough black mist, they will grow back into white sheep demons again.

Therefore, this is a very tricky group of monsters, without special means, there is no way to deal with it.

Many settlements were once destroyed by white sheep demons in this way, and Wangcheng listed it as a major vicious threat.

It is not recommended to fight them unless necessary.

And the group of white sheep demons that Fanxing Town will face is also very large in terms of scale.

Molly said: "According to intelligence information, they will arrive in Fanxing Town in one hour."

The atmosphere in the venue was dignified, only Rhodes looked relaxed.

"Don't worry, I can easily solve this small problem. You don't need to take action, just applaud and cheer for me from behind."

Molly looked at Rhodes sternly: "Master Rhodes, as I said, I hope you can be more serious when discussing business matters!"

Rhodes almost laughed out loud.

He really didn't listen very carefully just now, mainly because Molly's dress was so interesting.

She was wearing the uniform of the War Department, gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a pointer. Since she was about to fight, the black silk was naturally worn on her thighs, and her expression was as serious as that of the head teacher. This scene was very similar to his once Some episodes I've seen.

Although Rhodes knew that it was inappropriate to think wildly at this time, he happened to be holding Void Fury in his hand, and Mephis was already in place.

No matter how difficult these Aries demons are, they will blow themselves up at once.

The angry void will directly swallow the existence of the white sheep demon itself, they cannot be split, and the abyssal breath on their bodies will also be swallowed.

The self-detonation in the dungeon has already proved this point.

Therefore, what they thought was a very serious crisis was just a piece of cake in Rhodes' view, so naturally they couldn't be serious.

"Molly, you can always trust me, it's really not a crisis."

Rhodes put away his smile and said seriously.

"In the future, if you encounter a situation, don't frivolously start a first-level combat preparation, and ask me first, otherwise, do you know how much money we will lose? My divinity...cough, my money is not wasted like this .”

Molly was silent for a few seconds, and asked softly, "Is it Lord Theodore's soul ripple?"

That was the only explanation she could think of.

Everyone looked at Rhodes together, and the same thoughts were in their minds.

Rhodes coughed and had no choice but to answer: "Yes, this is Lord Theodore's last ripple of soul."

Annabelle asked softly, "Has Master Theodore expected this?"

"Ah... yes, you are right, my horse."

Annabe blushed, a little happy, but also a little confused. She felt as if she had accepted the status of a mount, which seemed to be the meaning of her existence.

Everyone was amazed, lamenting that it is indeed Mr. Theodore who has seen such a far future.

Rhodes stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, that's the end of the chat, let's watch Mephis and I perform next, Annabe, change horses, and send us to the battlefield."

Annabelle agreed in a loud voice, clasping her hands in front of her chest, releasing her magic power.

When the purple smoke dissipated, her awakened form—the centaur stood in front of her eyes.

Compared with the last time, she has become more majestic and fit, with smooth lines and distinct muscles.

This is a very beautiful little mare.

Rhodes jumped on the horse and shouted, "Mephis, come up."

Annabelle turned her head and said dissatisfiedly: "I am your mount, I don't want others to ride me."

Rhode said with a smile: "Mephis is no one else, she is my best partner."

Annabelle said angrily: "Didn't you say that the best partner is me?"

Rhodes was taken aback, he forgot about it, and said with a dry smile, "You are all my best partners."

Annabelle turned her head angrily, obviously not letting go.

Rhodes caressed the horse's back and frantically touched the person's back, finally calming down Annabelle.

She walked up to Memphis and said flatly, "Come on."

Mephis hesitated a little, but still jumped on the horse and sat behind Rhodes.

Ah Luo shouted, "I want it too!" and jumped into Rhode's arms.

Immediately afterwards, Molly also turned into a cloud of mist and covered Rhodes.

Annabelle snorted dissatisfiedly, but her upper body was human, so this snort was not loud at all, but rather shy and cute.

"Don't join in the fun!"

Rhodes threw A Luo off and drove Molly away from him.

"This is a special tactic, you are not suitable for accompanying."

A Luo pursed her mouth all of a sudden, and tears rolled in her big eyes: "You don't want me! I obviously prepared for you for such a long time to conceive."

Rhodes said angrily: "It's the spiritual power!"

"Psionics are my children!"

Rhodes covered his forehead, and said in a slow tone: "It's true that it won't be needed this time, but it will be used next time."

Then he said to Molly: "Since the first-level battle is prepared, don't cancel it for now. The soldiers are setting up defenses around Fanxing Town, just in case."

Molly nodded: "OK."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Then I will set off, you will wait and see."

He slapped the horse's butt hard and shouted, "Drive!"

Annabe rushed out one step at a time, but suddenly came to her senses and shouted angrily, "I'm not a horse, you just say go, don't spank my ass."

"Okay, I got it, Mephis, it's your first time riding a centaur, I'll tell you the key tricks, you learn my movements and hold me tight."

"You don't want to hug my chest!"

When the first word fell, Annabe had already jumped out of the hall, and when the last word fell, no one could see her back.

In the hall, everyone looked at each other.

O'Hara laughed dryly, "Hahaha, our commander is really energetic."

Beowwood said indifferently: "I told you a long time ago that he is a big demon, and all the girls in Red Square Street know his name."

This topic suddenly aroused A Luo's interest, and she asked: "Really? Tell me in detail, I want to know the details."

But everyone else lacks interest. The opposite sex is certainly attractive, but power is what they care about most. Psychic power, characteristics, fire, fighting skills, monster knowledge, all of these are the foundation of their survival.

Everyone walks out.

Although they believe that the commander will surely win, the established strategy must be meticulously implemented.

Only A Luo was pestering Beowwood to ask about Rhode's black history, and Molly quietly followed behind to eavesdrop.

At this moment, Annabelle had already carried Rhodes and Mephis away from the range of Starry Fire Suppression, and the red tearstone began to work on them, with a hazy red light glowing, resisting the erosion of the black mist.

In the distance that they couldn't see, the white sheep demons were rushing towards Fanxing Town like a tide.

At the forefront of the monster wave, three red-glowing figures are carefully scattering special rot to ensure that the group of Aries demons will not deviate from the direction.

And farther away, there is another pair of eyes watching all this quietly.

The battle is imminent.
