the last king of darkness

Chapter 304 The Beginning of Hope

1325 in the Tesrivian Gregorian calendar.

No.11 the first day of the month.

Trorian is currently the only known surviving human kingdom in the Dark World.

Its spiritual and true leader, the King, gave the order for total war.

Countless soldiers crossed the western line of defense and rushed into the dark world. More logistics personnel transported war supplies to the front line. Countless convoys gathered from various towns and strongholds in the kingdom to the royal city. A long dragon formed by faint lights spread here. over the land.

Inside and outside the kingdom, sparks are everywhere.

All organizations are operating at full capacity, and all workshops and mines are working overtime.

The kingdom's war machine roared into action.

Rhodes walked on the street and saw such a busy scene.

His heart was also full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to rush to the Supreme Council.

As the gathering place of elders, for the first time, there were no elders in the hall of fire.

According to the agreement, they no longer intervene in war decision-making, but devote themselves to specific affairs, and even go to the front to fight in person.

Their souls and bodies have already declined, but their spirits have not been extinguished. The first elder, Amando, personally led the battle, and those who did not want to go were all dismissed from their positions as elders.

Of course, after Wangcheng was cleaned, there were not many such people anymore.

When Rhodes stepped into the hall, Wang was discussing the situation of the battle with Archbishop Horus, First Defense Chief Lin and others.

Surrounded by the head of the army and the defense chiefs and commanders at all levels.

There is a large spiritual imager in the middle, with a large scale, showing the approximate distribution of power within a radius of [-] yards from the center of the royal city.

Unlike in the past, today's disk is much brighter, with tiny dots of light dotting the dark background.

"...In a month's time, the battle line must be pushed to the front of Fanxing Town and Star City, and these two outlying points will be brought into the scope of the kingdom."

Wang pointed his fingers at the two larger clusters of light on the west side.

They represent Starry Town and Star City, which are [-] yards and [-] yards away from Wangcheng respectively.

"All the areas in between must be cleaned up, decontaminated, and new settlements established in suitable places to further reduce our survival pressure."

The only two remaining chief executive officers suddenly showed joy.

Fanxing Town Zhuyu was in the front, allowing them to see the huge benefits of releasing the population pressure. Although this area is very barren, as long as one tenth of the place is suitable for living, it is enough to ease the huge survival pressure of Trorian.

But the legion commanders all showed bitterness, one month was too short.

Although Starry Town and Star City are ahead, there is no need to worry about disturbing the black mist and causing turmoil in the dark world.

But unlike the development of Fanxing Town and Star City, the area of ​​this area is too large, with a total of more than 30 square thousand yards, it is difficult to complete the cleaning and purification within a month.

Cross, the commander of the city defense army, said: "My lord, one month is too short. If there are three months..."

Wang shook his head slightly.

"It must be one month. The White Tower just told me that the next solar day will be just one month away. We must take this opportunity to clean up the Old Abyss, the Fortress of Dread, and the Trident River. For our further actions, occupy the Get ready for Storm's Pass."

The head of the investigative legion, Liszt, turned his head and asked, "How many days are expected this month?"

A white-robed seer replied: "Master Meredith predicts that the No. 11 month will last 23 rounds of sunset."

The brows of several legion commanders all frowned.

23 days is a short month, which adds to the urgency of their own less forgiving time.

Lockhart, the head of the Legion on the Conquest stared at the fog plate for a while, and asked hesitantly: "My lord, why did we choose to occupy the Storm Pass? I remember that in Lister's report, the resources on this route are not There are many, but there are many black and dangerous places, and the Pass of Storm is the great pass of the Ember Mountains, along the Grand Canyon of Storms and directly connected to the Great Dark Plain in the north.”

Cross continued: "The threat there is too strong, and the defense pressure of Storm Pass will be very high."

Wang said calmly: "This is related to our next stage of fighting."

Lockhart understood, bowed his head and said: "I understand, king, I will order the conquerors to eliminate the monsters with all their strength."

Cross: "I will let the defenders guard every stronghold and set up a strong backing for the soldiers on the front line."

Liszt: "The Survey Legion will ensure that the battlefield is absolutely transparent, and will not let the unknown darkness swallow any soldier."

Wang smiled.

He is happiest when everyone is united and united.

No matter how great the victory is, it can't compare to the feeling of them holding hands and standing shoulder to shoulder.

From the moment he became a candidate for the king, he has always believed in this.

As long as everyone works together without gaps, human beings will never perish.

He has been practicing this philosophy since he ascended the Fire Throne, but alas, it proved impossible to unite everyone, and when Trorian stagnated, differences emerged immediately, Without a strong figure to suppress it, Wangcheng retreated so far in just a few years.

Wang glanced at Rhodes who was quietly listening to their discussion at the outermost edge of the crowd.

If it wasn't for him, Wangcheng would not have recovered so quickly.

The significance of cleaning up the dross and spoilers even surpassed the development of Fanxing Town.

Hmm... Qingyu is too gentle, not suitable for Trorian's next stage of development.

If only he was Jon's husband.

Wang dispelled his wild thoughts and devoted himself to the discussion of various specific matters.

Rhodes on the periphery didn't know what Wang was thinking, and the lengthy discussion made him almost fall asleep.

Then he actually fell asleep.

When Rhodes woke up in a daze, there were not many people left in the hall.

Cross, the commander of the city defense corps, was passing by him. When he saw his half-opened eyes, he showed a friendly smile and left the hall.

Now, only Horus was left in the hall.

Rhodes hurried up.

"Your Excellency Horus, I want to join the battle..."

Horus smiled and nodded: "Go back to Fanxing Town, pay attention to the changes outside the wasteland on the west side, and be ready to meet the incoming soldiers."

Rhodes almost suspected that he had heard wrong.

"What? Why did you go back to Fanxing Town? There is no fighting near Fanxing Town, and the students from the secret branch are not coming. The guards in the Defense Department are either drinking or playing cards every day. Molly has broken her whip. Too much effect."

Horus said seriously: "How can you be so lax? You are at the forefront of the darkness, and a large-scale war in the rear will definitely cause changes in the depths of the darkness. If there is a monster disturbance, you will bear the brunt of it! Go back immediately, Rectify discipline and strengthen defense!"

Rhodes was very angry and felt cheated of his feelings.

"You can send anyone to this kind of thing. I have already done it according to your arrangement. You should let me fight."

There was no emotion on Horus' withered face.

"This is your combat mission, follow the arrangement."

After that, no matter what Rhodes said, Horus always said the same thing.

Rhodes was so angry that he ran to Wang again.

But the king is not in the sacred fire place, nor in the new palace.

Rhodes learned from other Hands of Kings that the king went to the Hall of Fire.

All Trorian's high-ranking fighters are gathered there.

Rhodes is not qualified enough, and he doesn't even know where the Temple of Fire is.

When I was depressed, a password came from a king's hand——

Wang asked him to follow Horus's order and immediately return to Fanxing Town to preside over various tasks.

The king's hand is the king's guard, and it only obeys the king's orders, and the passwords conveyed are the king's orders.

He didn't have to listen to Horus' words, because he was the captain of the King's Hand or an alternate elder, and the archbishop couldn't control him.

But he must obey the king's order.

Rhodes was extremely depressed. After waiting for a long time, he returned to Fanxing Town.

What about the promised dangerous combat mission?
Fuck, liars, I don't trust you anymore!

Rhodes took the psychic carriage dully, and returned to Fanxing Town from the special line - due to the war, the distribution of monsters has changed a lot, and the previous route can no longer be used.

After more than two months, Rhodes returned to this familiar area again.

Fanxing Town has undergone earth-shaking changes. At a glance, it is full of buildings of different heights. All the barren areas have been developed. The prosperous residential areas have been connected to the outer defense line. The newly built streets and alleys are full of people.

The sounds of shouting, selling, and yelling are mixed together to form the most beautiful symphony of human beings.

Molly has done a good job.

Rhode's depressed mood eased a lot.

After he calmed down, he began to think about why the king and Horus made such an arrangement.

Undoubtedly, he who successfully recaptured Fanxing Town has already proved his fighting ability.

Although the number of the Black War Group and the Sisters Group is not large, Wang Cheng can allocate a new battle group for him.

As for the area between Fanxing Town, Star City and Wangcheng, although it is vast, there is no fatal threat.

There are no security issues either.

So why is this?

Rhodes thought hard for a while, and suddenly thought of something.

When he was in the White Tower, the great prophet Iyeta predicted that he would encounter a deadly threat in the future, and this threat came from the people close to him.

Most of the people close to Rhodes are in Fanxing Town.

They want me to find out the danger!
Rhodes thought of this possibility for a moment.

That's right.

It must be so.

Otherwise, their abnormal behavior cannot be explained.

So, who will it be?
Rhodes began to think nervously again.

He immediately thought of Molly.

There is no doubt that Molly is the closest person to him now, even to the point of negative distance.

As far as closeness is concerned, no one can compare to her.

So, could she be the one who posed a mortal threat to me?
Rhodes couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

He got out of the car quietly, mixed into the crowd, and came outside the affairs hall of Fanxing Town.

In the hall, countless staff members are busy, everyone is working hard, people coming and going are hurried, and the whole scene is extremely busy.

Rhodes saw Molly at a glance.

She was sitting at the top, still wearing the pair of gold-rimmed glasses, her long hair was pulled up high, and there was still only a serious expression on her delicate face.

Dozens of people stood in front of her dejectedly.

Molly reprimanded them for a while, then picked up the pointer and slapped each of them ten times.

It was a real beating, and Rhodes cried when he saw a man being beaten.

The ominous feeling became heavier, and Rhodes began to worry.

What if Molly was really that person?
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that one person discovered his existence.

"Lord Rhodes!"

In an instant, the eyes of the entire political affairs hall were focused.

When they saw Rhode's face clearly, a huge commotion swept through Fanxing Town.

-

-

At night, Rod returned to his room exhausted.

Only to find that Molly was already waiting for him in the room.

"Molly."

Rhodes said wearily.

"I'm a little tired, I don't want to..."

A warm and slightly fragrant breath rushed towards his face, and the moist softness sealed his next words.

-

days after.

Rhodes gloomily found that Molly's biggest threat to him might be to make him exhausted.

The person who prophesied should not be her.

Rhodes then checked many people, but found nothing suspicious.

From this point of view, the most likely candidate is Memphis.

Only her curse and traits could put him in danger.

However, Rhodes is very confident.

He has the resurrection stone, even if he accidentally dies, he can be resurrected.

And human nature can resist all pollution and corruption, so he doesn't have to worry about the deterioration of his soul.

There are still 79 points of divinity, and with the resurrection stone he already holds, he can die eight times in a row.

Rhodes didn't believe there was anything that could make him die so many times.

So, after searching for a few days, Rhodes gave up and returned to daily training, occasionally managing the development of Fanxing Town.

However, the current system of Fanxing Town is quite complete. As a acting mayor, Molly is very good. Her ability to deal with affairs is beyond imagination. Meticulousness and completeness are her characteristics, and there will be no mistakes in everything she does.

For the current Fanxing Town, Molly is the best mayor.

Rhodes watched Fanxing Town prosper day by day, thinking that this is the future divinity, and couldn't help being happy.

He is not in a hurry now.

The recent recovery speed of the Book of Knowledge is obviously accelerating. Once it completes this stage of soul recovery, they can hunt down spirit world monsters and other remnants of the ancient god Heragatos.

Humph.

I'm not willing to kill those weak monsters yet.

There are not many spiritless souls to kill tens of thousands of them. It is far worse than hunting powerful monsters.

[Star Shuttle] There are still three great souls to reach the full state.

During this period of time, Rhodes deeply felt the power of this star. The star line is simply the most perfect weapon. He is looking forward to what changes will happen to the star line when [Star Shuttle] reaches its full state.

Moreover, this star is very powerful, and the soul strength it provides is very high. It may allow him to break through the ninth-level psionic ability in one fell swoop, step into the field of the strong, and become a third-level combatant.

Level 500 psionic power requires [-] kikkes of psionic strength.

And he is now 221 thousand quarters, still short of 279 thousand quarters.

The gap is a bit big... Rhodes thought, [Star Shuttle] may not be enough, I still need to ignite new stars.

Well, there are four stars that are not "quantified".

If the corresponding source substance can be found and "quantified", the intensity will also increase dramatically.

Rhode glanced at it.

[Broken Blue] needs the Ashes of the Ancient God, [Justice Execution] needs the Divine Blood Gem, [Elegy of the Spirit] needs the Son of the Stars, and [Sense of the Gods] needs the head of the gods.

All things that I have never heard of.

Where can I find it?
Just when Rhodes was worried.

Outside Fanxing Town.

A blood-red figure emerged from the depths of the black mist, and a chaotic, hoarse and illusory voice sounded in the void.

"Let's start with this human hope."
