the last king of darkness

Chapter 312 Enemy with the world

Until Rhodes walked into the castle, those words still echoed in his mind.

The interior of the hall is very vast, and it seems to be much larger than the exterior. The color is mainly red, supplemented by gold, purple, and yellow. It is brilliant and full of strength and warmth.

"This is the outer hall."

The messenger introduced.

"It is the position where combatants are on standby. Once they enter the battle sequence, they must wait here at all times."

Looking at the empty hall, Rhode couldn't help asking, "Why is there no one?"

The messenger replied in a deep voice, "They are all fighting."

"Everyone?"

"For everyone in the battle order, the empty hall means the battle order is fully loaded."

"What is the order of battle?"

"It is the order of battle. No combatant can continue to fight, especially high-level combatants. Arrangement, adjustment of combat power, and reasonable distribution are the key responsibilities of the Temple of Fire."

"Oh... am I in the battle order now?"

"Not yet, you haven't officially joined the job yet. The mission just now is a special case of emergency recruitment. The Fortress of Courage is very critical. Your Excellency Qingyu must go to support it immediately."

The Courage Fortress seems to be the outermost layer of the defense circle, a fortress facing the dark world... Rhodes was a little nervous, but he did not forget the critical scene when the Iron Armored Fortress was broken.

"What happened to it?"

"There has been a huge disturbance in the dead ghosts, and a new king may be born."

new king?
Rhodes asked nervously, "What do you mean?"

The messenger's expression was serious, with strong worry and a little fear in his eyes.

"White ghosts are the birthers of the unknown, extremely powerful and clustered. Groups of white ghosts are extremely dangerous existences, and in the dead land full of unknowns, there are a large number of groups of different ghosts. Sometimes they do not interfere with each other, sometimes They will launch wars and devour other groups, and when the size of the group reaches a certain level, there will be a basis for the birth of the King of the White Ghosts."

"Is the king of aliens... strong?"

The messenger said in a deep voice: "Not only is it very strong, its appearance means that the aliens have a leader and can form a larger-scale cluster. It is no longer considered a threat, but a disaster. The disaster of the aliens is the last thing we want. One of the catastrophes willing to face, it has brought us great casualties every time it has appeared in Trorian history."

"Your Excellency Qingyu is going to destroy the King of the Other Ghosts?"

The messenger shook his head slightly.

"Of course it is impossible. Even His Excellency Qing Yu is not qualified to fight against the King of the White Walkers. If the King of the White Walkers has already appeared, we need to dispatch the highest level of battle order, but the survey army brought us the most powerful battle with their lives. With the most timely information, Your Excellency Qingyu is here to suppress the swarm of alien ghosts and prevent the birth of the king of alien ghosts."

Rhodes felt a little relieved, and followed the envoy across the outer hall and walked inward.

The messenger continued: "The Palace of Fire is divided into the outer hall, the inner hall, and the main hall."

"The outer hall is the standby place for third-level combatants and reserve members, and the inner hall is the main force of the Temple of Fire, gathering all the inhuman combat power in Trorian."

"Strictly speaking, the members of the inner hall are the foundation of the Temple of Fire."

"And the main hall is the extraordinary gathering place, where the first-level combatants will deal with the most serious threats."

The envoy paused and said in a respectful tone.

"Above the main hall, there is also a round table hall. Only those who have crossed the extraordinary gap and thoroughly mastered the law of origin are eligible to be on the big round table."

"That is our strongest warrior, the pride of mankind, the giant pillar of the sky, and the flame of hope."

"They will only be dispatched when there is a disaster that threatens the safety of the entire human race."

Rhode's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by the heroic posture of them holding the sky with one hand and turning the tide.

The current him is not even a third-level combatant, and the gap is huge.

The people on the big round table are no longer in the conventional combat system. They are super combatants, the top powerhouses known as the lawmakers.

There is still a long way to go.

Rhodes sighed slightly in his heart.

In a while, I will quickly complete the quantification of [Sense of God], and then study what is the use of "Darkness of the Abyss".

There are also three great souls, and I have to find a way to get them as soon as possible. The soul strength provided by [Star Shuttle] is extremely high, and it will definitely make my psychic power break through level nine.

It's best to get a few more sources and ignite a few new stars.

Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help feeling anxious.

He still has a lot to do, and time is precious.

What the hell, how long is the Book of Knowledge going to sleep, get up for me, bastard!I can't wait to hunt the spirit world monsters.

There are also quantifications of the Devourer of Darkness and the Spirit Boat. It has been so long, so hurry up and finish it. The dream world needs your strength.

Rhodes' thoughts were wandering, and he followed the messenger across the inner hall to the other side of the Temple of Fire.

He is not qualified to enter the inner hall yet, but after a quick glance, he found that the inner hall is also empty.

I just don't know if there is anyone in the main hall and the round table hall.

"This is the hearth area, where combatants recover and rest. The fire here is specially formulated to have a strong restorative and spiritual effect."

The messenger pointed to a huge hall.

"It's where the fighters gather when they're out of the battle order on the front line."

Rhodes looked over.

The hall is made of light red bricks and stones, covered with red copper fences and decorations. The atmosphere of warm colors makes people feel relaxed and warm. There is a warm flame burning in the fireplace, and the orange light shrouds the room like mist .

There is a pot and pot on the fire, and the bright yellow liquid inside is bubbling and bubbling, exuding a fragrant and slightly fragrant breath.

There are many rooms on both sides of the hall, which may be bedrooms for rest.

But there was no one in the hall or in the room.

The messenger said: "The battle is tense now, and all fighters in the sequence are on the front line."

Rhodes was surprised: "Is there anyone who is not in the battle sequence?"

"Have."

The messenger explained: "When a combatant is unable to fight due to injury, long-term fighting, status adjustment, rotation rest, performance of duties, etc., he will withdraw from the battle sequence. At this time, the combatant is not in the Temple of Fire."

Rhodes understood that when Qingyu was performing her duties as a guardian, she would not be in the Palace of Fire.

Back then, those judges also came to attack Fanxing Town during their breaks.

But thinking about what the envoy said, I can't help but feel heavy in my heart. From the scene in the hall, we can see that the full expansion has brought tremendous pressure beyond imagination to Trorian.

After that, the envoy took Rhodes to visit the logistics office, medical center, advanced training ground, spiritual energy laboratory, alchemy and pharmaceutical workshop and other places.

He finally saw people here. Many logistics and production personnel were busy here. They looked very professional, and every movement was smooth and concise, well-trained.

Walking all the way, Rhodes quickly came to the upper floor of the castle.

Here, he met an acquaintance.

The first defense is Dalin.

He sat behind a long table, closed his eyes, and kept smoking a cigarette.

The lingering smoke enveloped him, but it couldn't cover his tired face and gray temples.

The messenger said respectfully, "Your Excellency Dalin, Rhodes is here."

Dalin opened his eyes, and the tiredness quickly disappeared from his face. His eyes were piercing, and his resolute face was full of radiance.

"Little Rhodes is here, great."

Rhode bowed and said, "Your Excellency Dalin, hello."

"well."

Dalin looked very happy.

"It's a happy event to finally see you here... Does he know the battle mode of the Palace of Fire?"

These words were spoken to the messenger.

The messenger shook his head slightly: "Not yet."

"Okay, come with me, little Rhodes."

Dalin pushed open a door behind him and walked in.

Rhodes followed behind, and the moment he entered the door, he saw a huge long table.

On the table is a super psionic imager, but the difference is that it has no details, just pure black, with some fiery red dots wandering in it.

Dalin said briefly: "This is a powerful imager, which is used to monitor super-strong spiritual energy fluctuations."

"I'll talk about its usefulness later, let's talk about the key points first."

Dalin's face became serious.

"According to the principles of the Temple of Fire, once you become a member, you have officially entered the realm of the strong."

"And every strong man is an independent combat unit. Unless there are special circumstances, they will fight alone."

"Of course, it's not just one person. This combat unit includes you and your battle group. You can choose your teammates and make them your right-hand man."

"An excellent combat unit should be like this. You and your teammates cooperate skillfully, communicate with each other, and have complementary characteristics. Together, you can double your strength and defeat monsters that are far stronger than you."

Rhodes nodded. Molly had warned him about this many times, and he had always formed the team according to this standard.

But due to various reasons, currently there are only Molly, Mephis, and Annabelle in his Black War Group.

"Of course, not everyone has a battle group. Some people are used to fighting alone, and some people have strong and dangerous characteristics. In some extremely dangerous missions, they will not use the battle group, but the strong It is an additional word to form new and more powerful combat units among the former.”

Dalin paused for a moment, and his voice became low.

"Little Rhodes, you have to know that from now on, you are already among the strong. This is an area beyond the reach of more than [-]% of fire holders. In their eyes, you are extremely powerful."

"You must remember that when you carry out a dangerous mission, you are the hope of the area you rescued, the pillar of their support, the strong leader in the team, and a savior-like existence. You must not fail , The Temple of Fire will never send combat units repeatedly."

"There is no backer behind you, you are the backer."

"The fall of the backer is the most serious combat accident, which means that there has been a huge mistake in our battle layout, which will disrupt our overall strategic deployment."

"So, even reserve members have a heavy burden on their shoulders, and they must not be taken lightly."

Dalin looked directly into Rhode's eyes.

"Can you understand?"

Rhodes replied solemnly: "I understand, Your Excellency Dalin, please rest assured, I will never fail, and I will not become the one that falls from the chain of war."

Dalin nodded slightly.

"That's the best answer I've heard this year."

"You don't have to worry too much. We don't have any backup plan. When any member performs a mission, he will get an emergency spell. If something unexpected happens, he can crush it. The Temple of Fire will send support troops as quickly as possible .”

"But don't use it unless it's an emergency. This will greatly damage the battle sequence."

Rhodes nodded: "I understand."

Dalin relaxed his tone, and said slowly: "Little Rhodes, you are very good. You have entered the Palace of Fire in less than a year without showing any strong talent."

"This is something none of us thought of. I have high expectations for you. Although you are not the strongest in the new generation, nor are you the fastest growing, but your achievements are few people can match. , don’t let us down.”

Rhodes replied briefly: "I will."

Dalin Gangyi showed a little smile on his face, which made him look much younger.

"Okay, about the crisis we are facing, leave it to His Excellency the Bishop."

he said gently.

"Go, little Rhodes, there is still one last step left."

Dalin turned and left the room, he looked very busy.

The messenger leaned forward and said, "Your Excellency Rhodes, please follow me."

Rhodes got up and followed the messenger and walked out. Soon, they arrived at the cathedral located in the upper middle part of the castle.

Walking into the church, under the huge holy fire emblem, Rhodes saw the statue of the human hero Trorian.

He has a resolute face, eyebrows like sharp swords, eyes like bright stars, and a mighty expression. He holds a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. He carries a strange vessel on his back. He raises his head slightly, as if looking into the distance.

A man dressed as a bishop stood under the statue and bowed slightly to him.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, welcome to the Church of Heroes."

Rhodes replied: "Hello, Your Excellency the Bishop."

The bishop turned his attention to the messenger: "Start now?"

The envoy nodded: "Start, Your Excellency."

The bishop waved his hand, the room darkened, and a huge black ball was suspended in midair.

His face was hidden in the shadows, and his voice seemed to come from far away.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, do you know what the Temple of Fire is?"

Rhodes replied cautiously: "The Temple of Fire is the highest combat power organization in Trorian, and it is responsible for dealing with the greatest threat."

"Yes, but very generally, do you know where the biggest threat comes from?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say that darkness invaded and monsters attacked, but he didn't feel quite right, so he said, "I don't know very well."

In the darkness, Rhodes felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

"The biggest threats facing the Palace of Fire come from three directions."

"Invasion of the spirit world."

"Invasion of the Abyss."

"The Invasion of Darkness."

"Powerful spirit monsters may penetrate the defense and appear anywhere. We must eliminate them in advance. This is an invasion of the spirit world."

"The fragments of the abyss may be activated due to spiritual disturbances, continuously releasing pollution and erosion to the ground. We must kill the monsters of the abyss and destroy the fissures of the abyss. This is the invasion of the abyss."

"The last and most dangerous invasion of darkness."

The bishop waved his hand, and some spots darker than black appeared on the black sphere.

"The ancient evils of the Swamp of Despair, the horrors of the Great Forest, the White Walkers and Monarchs of the Deadlands, the ancient dragons of the Dragon Tomb, and the Twilight Giants of the Giant's Tower are the threats we face, and they are magnified by the war of expansion."

The bishop waved his hand again, and some black spots appeared in the distance of the black ball.

"The fallen god guards in the ancient city of Sagus, the old days under the eternal seal, the ancient gorefiends in the blood forest, these sources of darkness are our threats in the distance."

The bishop waved his hand again, and some huge black spots appeared on the edge of the black ball, and they were moving slowly.

"Further away, more powerful monsters are approaching us. They never stop, endlessly. Even if we kill one or two, there will be more unknown beings awakening in the depths of the darkness. We come until the holy fire is extinguished and this last human kingdom is destroyed."

A chill rose in Rhode's heart, and he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

The bishop said flatly, "Because of the existence of the holy flame."

"Holy fire?"

"Yes, in a world of darkness, light is evil."

Rhodes asked in disbelief: "What do you mean? Is there some kind of dark god manipulating all this? Is he going to destroy us?"

The bishop said quietly, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"Yes, no one knows if such a god exists."

"However, you said that the unknown monsters in the depths of the darkness will wake up on their own and come towards us!"

"Yes, this is the will of the world."

"The will of the world?"

"The world has long been plunged into darkness, countless powerful gods have fallen, countless prosperous kingdoms have been destroyed, black mist has enveloped the sky and the earth, covered the sun, moon and stars, and indescribable existences are hidden in the depths of darkness. This is the era of darkness. Dominated by the black mist, these countless things form a general will in some wonderful way, which we call the consciousness of evil."

"The will of evil?"

"Yes, it is not an intelligent existence, but a certain tendency. It is its instinct to erode and destroy all existences that threaten it. It will always drive the terrifying existence in the dark depths to invade our home. If the holy flame is not extinguished, the invasion will not will stop."

The bishop looked directly at Rhodes.

"And the greatest enemy of the Temple of Fire is the will of evil."

"The will to evil is the world."

"So."

The bishop's voice was distant and deep, as if it came from the end of the world.

"Be an enemy of the whole world, are you ready?"
