the last king of darkness

Chapter 324 Opening

Rhodes was startled.

The soul fragment of the ancient sun god?
So, his envoy is actually something differentiated from his soul?
isn't it...

The envoy who praised the miracles and praised the might of the gods, isn't it me who is essentially boasting about myself?

If the scene is more grand, when God descends to His divine city, thousands of divine envoys greet God, sing praises, and boast about themselves, that would be too much.

But Rhodes thought about it again, the things that were differentiated from the soul fragments may not necessarily be the main body, maybe a new will was born.

Like the remnant of the reborn god of flesh and blood, Heragtos.

After the corruption and mutation, it was already a brand new monster.

Rhodes withdrew his thoughts, thought about it, and checked the information of the soul.

[Soul Fragment of the Ancient Sun God Helaus]

[From the ancient sun god Helaus]

【Great Soul】

【Own 1 sources】

Rhodes was slightly happy.

He already has two great souls, and there is only one more, [Star Shuttle] can reach the full state.

This will definitely give him a leap in strength.

Moreover, among these two great souls, there are two sources.

I don't know if there is a way to separate the source from the soul.

Rhodes thought.

Ask the Book of Knowledge when it wakes up.

Rhodes turned his head, and Celie and Lannister stood in the distance, their expressions motionless, like dried salted fish.

"Let's go back!"

Rhodes said with a smile, and casually picked up a mass of gray mud from the ashes, which was the ashes of the envoy of God.

"Mission accomplished."

Only then did the two come back to their senses, and Celie let out a scream, blushing all over her face.

"Rod, you are awesome!"

Lannister, on the other hand, had complicated expressions, including the unbelief of seeing the unimaginable, the joy of overcoming difficulties, and the unspeakable loss.

"How did you kill it?"

He was silent for a while, but reason prevailed, and he asked.

"In the past, every time we dealt with it, we had to go to war. Although its absolute psychic power was very weak, according to our standards it should only be a strong-level beginner, but its nature is special, and its shell is extremely hard. It is not suitable for dealing with strong-level high-level It cannot be killed by the standard of the first order, and it will cause a large number of casualties."

Lannister choked up for a moment, and swallowed the words "our standard of combat power can only fight against the strong elementary level, and we need to discuss it when we meet the intermediate level."

Rhodes nodded, Lannister's words were not wrong at all.

According to his experience, only strong or relatively powerful souls can be obtained at the beginning of the strong level, very powerful souls at the middle level, and between "close to great" souls and great souls at the high level.

Only a super-order must be a great soul.

All the great souls he has obtained so far come from fragments or remnants of the old gods.

"I just restrained it."

Rhodes thought for a while, and decided not to exaggerate his combat power too much.

His absolute strength is not as strong as he has shown, and over-inflating his combat power may lead to overturning.

This is very likely to happen.

If he continues like this and brags about his strength, Trorian's senior management will see that you are so powerful and have such a dazzling record in the past, you must be very reliable.

Then this glorious and arduous task is entrusted to you,
Then, send him alone to hunt monsters like the Abyss Serpent.

Because they trusted him so much, they didn't even have a plan for failure, and he himself was inflated, thinking that no monster was his single enemy.

The result can be imagined.

He was not strong enough to break through the defense, and was instantly killed by the big snake.

Although he was resurrected, the big snake destroyed the town he was supposed to protect, and the residents of the Kingdom of Fire were killed and injured countless times.

They cannot be resurrected.

Rhodes did not give humanity more hope, but instead caused huge losses because of his underestimation of the enemy. There will be a huge gap in the next divine settlement, just like the last time he disturbed the spirit world and caused the holy fire to change.

This kind of thing must not happen.

Rhodes would rather they underestimate their own strength than overestimate their own strength before gaining real and stable strength.

Therefore, he still chose to attribute most of the credit for killing monsters to the "restraint" relationship.

"The shell of this thing is very hard, but its tentacles are very fragile, without any spiritual protection, and the soul is exposed. This seems to be related to the type of its fatal attack."

At this point, Lannister already understood.

Although Celie didn't understand, she didn't know what was going on.

Rhodes smiled and continued.

"My fire creation [Soul Defense] can resist a fatal injury, and its tentacles are the weapons it uses to launch the fatal injury."

"In this case, I exchanged one limit with it, it shattered my [soul defense], and I shattered its soul body."

"That's it, it died, I lost an item, everyone exchanged fairly, no one suffers."

Rhodes paused, touched the flame mark on the collar, and continued.

"In fact, you can do this too. Isn't the flame mark able to withstand a powerful attack?"

Lannister shook his head: "It has an upper limit. If the power of the attack exceeds level [-], it is not easy to use. It is best not to pin your hopes on this function. The main function of the flame mark is to convey information and locate."

"Aro is so awesome but so humble." Celie said with a smile, "Come to my room at night, okay?"

Seeing Lannister's face twisted into lemon essence, Rhodes said with a smile, "Selly, idols are for worship, fried noodles are not good...cough cough, I mean, the situation is still critical now, The battle is not over yet, we must cheer up and use our [-]% strength to guard the achievements of our fighters' hard work."

"As expected of you."

Celie said with a smile.

"Not like some big liar, incompetent and selfish."

Lannister turned a deaf ear, the momentary jealousy had faded from his heart.

He suddenly realized that after Rhodes learned about the characteristics of the ancient sun god envoy, he immediately rushed up.

In such a short period of time, he thought of this tactic.

This ability is definitely not just the "restraint" he said.

On the way back, Lannister had been silent, thinking a lot.

And in the days that followed, he validated his idea.

Rhodes has a natural fighting instinct.

He usually looks mediocre, but at critical moments, he can always make the most correct choice in the shortest time.

This is a rather rare ability.

It comes from an unconventional combat intuition and understanding of combat. At the moment of making a decision, even the person himself may not be able to realize why he did it.

That's what a born fighter is.

Lannister didn't even feel jealous, and his mind was full of thinking about how to use this ability to achieve greater results.

After a few attempts, he initially mastered this method and adjusted his tactics. All fighters or non-combatants in the entire No. 20 lighthouse, with Rhodes as the absolute core, revolved around him.

The new tactics have achieved immediate and good results.

The NO.20 lighthouse not only eliminated all monsters within the visual range, but also made it easier and less stressful, and the fighters even had time to do rotation repairs.

A few more days passed like this.

Tyrion, the commander of the war zone on the east side of the Trident River, suddenly came to the NO.20 lighthouse.

At this time, they had not received any information from the outside world for several days in a row.

This shows that the situation of the battle may not be good, and even the psionic power of the message has to be saved.

Tyrion is a tall, stocky, middle-aged man with a square face and a full-jawed beard.

He once had a relationship with Rhodes in the old city of Bara, but he was still a second-level commander at that time. Due to heavy battle losses, he applied for demotion and became a third-level commander.

He brought a very bad news.

After the bug hunt, the team's mission failed, including serious injuries to several high-ranking combatants, leaving only Guardian Churchel.

But he also consumed a lot of psychic energy, and was cursed by the psychic energy of the queen, which weakened his combat effectiveness a lot.

At the same time, an unknown collapse occurred in the underground world, the entrance was greatly enlarged, and more demonized ants came out. Time is later than imagined.

They need to be supported for a longer period of time.

This sudden bad news made the members of the lighthouse who had just smiled fell into gloom again.

Tyrion said: "I have removed the lighthouse in front of you, and I am going to use the No. 20 lighthouse as the front line to stop the demonized ants on the east side of the entire battlefield."

He raised his hand, and his lieutenant handed him a large psionic disk.

"This is a new psionic sensor, and its sight range is twice as large as the old one."

Lannister and Celie looked at each other, and both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

"of course."

said Tyrion.

"I also brought assistance. The combatants from the lighthouse in front will gather here. I am also a fourth-level combatant myself, and I am good at rear support and long-range fire support. My adjutants and entourage are also middle-level combatants."

Lannister asked: "Where is the hall-level warrior in the lighthouse ahead?"

Tyrion was silent for a few seconds, then replied, "They are off to help the other lighthouses."

The room fell silent. Tyrion thought they would be dissatisfied. Everyone knew that the real main force was the temple warriors. The commander asked them to undertake more important combat tasks, but did not bring the main force.

But to his surprise, whether it was Celie or Lannister, their expressions were only serious, but there was no panic or fear or protest against unfair treatment.

And Rhodes on the side just looked thoughtful.

They seem to take their larger responsibilities for granted.

Tyrion thought.

As expected of the No. 20 lighthouse that created the only bright color on the battlefield, Rhodes has played miraculous effects in such battles as Leso City, and he must be able to do so in this battlefield.

He coughed and said, "I'm sorry to suddenly ask you to take on such a major responsibility, but there is no other way now. If I don't do this, we will face huge casualties."

"The situation of the battle group in the peripheral clearing is very difficult. There are some missed demonized ants all around, which caused a lot of casualties to our logistics personnel, and the combat power of Wangcheng has been allocated to the limit, and they can no longer mobilize more strength to support us."

Tyrion paused, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally settled on Rhodes' face, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

"I have read all your battle reports. I think you have the ability. This is the best choice. The expansion of the royal city must not be hindered. The fire must illuminate more places. I want to see us holding the torch to dark monsters. The day underfoot."

He bowed his head deeply.

"We need a larger living space, and Trorian needs to be stronger."

"This is my deepest dream, and the Trident River is the most important node, please."

The room fell silent for a while, until Rhodes' voice sounded.

"Do not worry."

he said with a smile.

"Here is Trorian's hero. He will not disappoint anyone who expects human beings to be strong."

For a moment, Tyrion felt a surge of heat in his heart. He looked up and saw Rhodes' young but reliable face, as if he saw the shadow of another great face.

"Will this be the second Alan?"

Such an idea suddenly popped up in Tyrion's mind.

The moment it appeared, it firmly occupied the bottom of my heart, and it couldn't be lingered.

a few days later.

The battle of NO.20 Lighthouse completely verified his judgment.

After loading the new psionic reactor, the lighthouse began a new campaign.

Since the scope and number of fighters are doubled, in order to avoid confusion, the original team still implements the original tactics, and the new fighters are assigned and commanded by Tyrion.

Tyrion soon saw with his own eyes why the No. 20 lighthouse could become the only bright color on this dark battlefield.

Rhodes is the most peculiar quasi-strong fighter he has ever seen.

He has powerful long-range attacks, but is also very good at melee combat.

It also possesses a super powerful psychic cannon, which is a rare super fort, but at the same time it has a super thick defense, even the combatants with the defensive barrier characteristic known as the turtle shell are eclipsed in front of him.

Besides that, he also has all kinds of strange tinder creations.

Their fighters completely centered on him, greatly amplifying the characteristics of each of his abilities, thus displaying [-]% of their combat power.

Their commander, Lannister, will choose tactics according to the different groups of monsters. With their efforts, the invading demonized ants were killed all over the field, leaving no armor left.

Tyrion finally understood that the success of NO.20 Lighthouse was not accidental, but inevitable.

In addition to Rhodes, there is also a person who is good at strategy and tactics.

Lannister.

He has a clever brain, is particularly good at using every combat power, and has an astonishing grasp of the battle situation.

Together, they produced a wonderful spiritual response, multiplying their combat effectiveness.

of course.

As a former second-level commander, Tyrion's ability is beyond doubt.

After witnessing their tactics, he made a reasonable change, cooperating with them as much as possible and sharing the pressure for them.

In this way, with their concerted efforts, the defensive range was doubled, and the No. 20 lighthouse that had become the front line stabilized once again.

However, the situation on the battlefield has not changed substantially.

The first commander, Herman, who was in charge of operations in the entire Trident River region, sent them a message, asking them to expand the range of sight again, in order to save the crumbling flanks under the impact of the demonized ants.

Tyrion looked sad.

Every point in range adds three to the pressure, and while they hold off so far, the pressure is still high.

He wasn't sure if they would survive the ensuing fight.

Rhode didn't care too much and just asked a question.

"Why hasn't my Black Battlegroup come yet?"
