the last king of darkness

Chapter 348 Storm Castle
Rhodes was disappointed to find that his Black Battlegroup couldn't go with him. Annabelle was treated in the church medical center. The Silver Pledge accepted the curse seal.

Ugh.

Rhodes was very disappointed, thinking that it was time to expand the battle group, otherwise it would be difficult for only two or three people to keep up with him.

Who should I choose next?
There are many candidates, but there are very few who can be called "best partners".

Since he came back from Fanxing Town, Wangcheng has strictly controlled the entry threshold of the Black Wargroup, and no one can be added casually.

Rhodes locked a few in his heart, and planned to apply to Wangcheng when he returned this time.

Better to go straight to Wang.

Wang's words really work.

Before, it was just a request to fight, and after a long time of dodging, there was no obstacle to Wang Yi's words. As soon as he returned to the Palace of Fire, the flame symbol began to flash, indicating that his battle order had been raised from the second line to the first line.

As soon as he came to the outer hall of the palace, the messenger informed him of the complete situation of the combat mission.

The area to be reinforced this time is Castle of Storms.

It is the outermost layer in the southwest of the royal city's defense circle, facing the dark world outside, about 900 thousand yards away from the royal city in a straight line. The external environment is very dangerous, and it is one of the most dangerous defensive strongholds in Trorian.

The regular troops stationed in the castle are the elite of the city defense corps, and all kinds of fortifications and defensive equipment are readily available.

In order to expand westward, the War Department of the Royal City Army transferred half of the troops back. The Storm Castle shrank its defenses, evacuated the outer strongholds, and held on to the castle.

The plan was correct, and there were no problems at the beginning. Although the combat power was a little tense, the defense was relatively stable.

But the problem lies in the big forest outside the castle.

It was a very huge forest, spreading from the northwest, over the high mountains, over the lowlands, and it couldn't be seen at a glance.

Countless years ago, this place might have been a lush and lush place of life, but now, it is already a spooky dark forest.

Corroded by the black mist, the trees became stiff and rigid, and the branches and leaves withered, leaving only the dark branches, like the devil's claws reaching out to the sky.

The entire forest is like a large magical land, where the black mist is smoldering, giving birth to a new terrifying monster-terror.

It is an extremely distorted monster, its shape is like a mass of twisted darkness, it has several pairs of slender jointed limbs and sharp claws, it is evil in shape, like some kind of springtail in a dank place, it moves quickly and swiftly, with strong pollution.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that horrors are very difficult to deal with. They are not restricted by terrain, and they are not afraid of city walls. They come in groups, like black tides. They have no fatal weakness, and their vitality is tenacious. The attack was quick and ferocious, and the accompanying strong pollution made the soldiers extremely uncomfortable.

The only way to counter them is to use effective large-scale attacks.

Therefore, 62 psychic cannons and one main cannon are equipped on the Storm Castle.

But what's worse, the huge disturbance caused by the continuous war awakened the giant horror sleeping deep in the forest.

They attacked Stormcastle, and in that battle Stormcastle's main gun and thirty psychic cannons were destroyed.

Although the giant horror was finally wiped out by the defenders tenaciously, the defensive power of the castle plummeted, and the psychic energy continued to be disturbed. The horrors in the black forest also jumped out to attack the castle like fleas that had been watered. The largest stronghold in the southwest direction.

As early as dozens of days ago, the Palace of Fire dispatched the candidate of the king, Xing Ge, and her battle group to the Storm Castle, accompanied by more than 1000 senior engineers from the Mechanical Research Institute.

However, the situation in Stormcastle has not improved. The tide of terror has become more and more frequent, and the repair of the spiritual cannon has been seriously disturbed.

So, in extreme distress, the Palace of Fire sent the first elder, Amando, to help.

The situation has improved somewhat, but it is still very dangerous.

So, this time, after the pressure eased a bit, the palace sent new reinforcements again.

The newly promoted genius, the dazzling black idiot Rhodes.

And the human nova that has been proven in recent years, the great sword Tai Luo.

-

Due to the urgency of the war, when Rhodes returned to the Temple of Fire, Taro had already set off on a spirit horse.

The messenger took him to the flying platform, and the spirit horse had already been prepared for him.

"Your Excellency, please get on the horse, the route has been locked, the spirit horse will fly by itself, please do not interfere."

Rhodes looked at the misty horse in front of him curiously. This was not the first time he saw a spirit horse, but it was the first time he rode a spirit horse alone.

"After flying, will it come back?"

"Please rest assured that the spirit horse in the hall has been specially trained, and it will return on its own."

Rhodes turned over and jumped on this magical spirit creature, and was surprised to find that riding it felt similar to riding Annabe.

The spirit horse neighed, soared into the air, accelerated suddenly, and plunged into the black mist.

The red tearstone began to take effect, a hazy red light shrouded Rhodes and the horse, and the tumbling black mist swiftly passed by, showing the super fast speed of the spirit horse.

About an hour later, Rhodes finally saw a small group of bright lights in his sight.

It was as insignificant as a speck of dust in the boundless black mist.

But Rhodes knew that it was Storm Castle.

As the distance approached, the bright light rapidly became larger, eventually occupying the entire field of vision.

When the spirit horse came out of the black mist, Rhodes saw the huge castle in the dazzling firelight.

It was at least two thousand yards long and a thousand yards wide, and within its high walls were all great bastions and batteries.

The spirit horse landed on the tallest fortress, Rhodes dismounted, and it returned.

This is a huge aerial platform, one side is full of goods, and it seems that most of the castle's supplies also fall from here.

Several soldiers rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Is it Lord Rhodes?"

The news is very well-informed... Rhodes nodded: "It's me."

"Great!"

The faces of the soldiers showed ecstasy.

"With the help of you and Your Excellency Tyro, we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties and guard the southwestern gate of Trorian."

Before Rhodes had time to speak, the soldiers surrounded him into the main hall of the castle, and he saw the first elder, Armando, in the main hall at a glance.

He looked older than before, with layers of wrinkles on his face, and his eyeballs were cloudy like yellow muddy water.

"You came?"

Rhodes smiled and said, "I'm here."

Armando said indifferently: "Since you are here, you must follow my command."

Rhodes replied casually: "Okay."

Armando said again: "Report your combat ability."

Rhodes said casually: "Starfire sequence, 7 fire seeds, can fight in long-range and close combat, good at all positions..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a watery girl protruding from behind Armando. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with big eyes, flowing waves, a petite face, skin as snowy as jade, and very well dressed. exquisite.

Rhode's eyes were attracted for a moment, and he couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"

The girl didn't answer his words immediately, but asked instead: "Big brother, are you Rhodes?"

Rhodes smiled and said, "It's me, can you tell me your name?"

The girl replied crisply: "Candidate of Fire, Modric Law Starsong."

Sure enough it was her!

Rhodes thought to himself, he didn't expect Xing Ge to be a woman, she was really young.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to make love, a low and long cry resounded through the entire Storm Castle, drowning out his insignificant voice.

"The attack is coming again."

Armando immediately stood up and waved his sleeves.

"Let's go, I hope you can be of some use, Rhodes."

Rhodes lightened, as if he had lost gravity, and quickly flew out with Amondo.

When they left the main hall, the battle had already begun.

For the first time, Rhodes saw the spectacular scene of the battle at the core of human beings. The remaining [-] psychic cannons in Storm Castle fired continuously, and the huge roar resounded throughout the world, with strong flashes one after another, and violent psychic fluctuations Comes like a tsunami.

And every time there was a flash of light, there was an incomparably huge psychic cannon, dragging a long white trail, hitting the tide of terror in the distance, and the violent explosion devoured a large area of ​​terror.

The shock of the thirty psychic cannons firing in unison made people feel genuinely horrified.

But what is even more shocking is the wave of horrors in the distance. It is a large black ocean, rushing towards them as if the sky was turned upside down. .

And on the high wall at least [-] yards high and [-] yards thick, there were elite soldiers from the city defense regiment standing there.

All of them held long swords and shields, and waited with bated breath for the arrival of the Terror.

Armando took Rhodes and Xingge to the city wall in the southwest corner, where there were fewer soldiers and the city wall was empty.

"We will stay here." Amando said lightly.

Rhode looked at the boundless black tide in the distance, and asked in disbelief: "Can we hold it?"

Before Armando could speak, Xing Ge had already said with a smile: "Of course, Brother Rhodes, otherwise how could we live until now?"

Rhodes frowned and said, "How did you keep it?"

Xing Ge chuckled and said: "That's how it is guarded. The horror was blown to pieces before it came up, and it still has to endure the fire of the guardian. It is already a great achievement to be able to climb a city wall two hundred yards high. There is no more than one out of ten."

Sure enough, the ensuing battle was not as terrifying as he had imagined. Although there were many terrorists climbing up the city wall, they could not be called dense.

Rhodes' ten-finger star shuttles are constantly running, and the perfect coordination of spirit and flesh makes the spiritual energy incomparably smooth in the body. The executor gloves on both hands make the condensation speed of spiritual energy even higher, and the trident of the deep-sea lurker on his back is Dim radiance exudes, making the Star Shuttle condensed by Rhodes more powerful.

He fired the Star Shuttle crazily like a humanoid self-propelled cannon, blowing up the terrors that rushed up like a violent storm.

The fiery feeling of the King's Blessing flowed from his limbs to his heart, strengthening and supplementing his spiritual energy.

Spiritless Soul +1295
Spiritless Soul +1361
Spiritless Soul +1336
……

Countless black lines plunged into his chest from all directions, white words frantically refreshed in his eyes, and the book of knowledge danced happily in his mind.

"A lot of souls!"

"A lot of souls!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

At this moment, Rhodes was like a god of war, making everyone look sideways.

Xing Ge clapped his hands and laughed, "Brother Rhodes is so amazing!"

She stretched out her finger, trying to imitate Rhode's ability, but failed, only a few sparks emerged from her fingertips.

"Huh? This doesn't seem to be an ordinary ability, and even the minimum imitation has failed."

"Forget it, I'll still help big brother."

Xing Ge lightly jumped and flew into the air, a strong flame burst out from her body, and spread rapidly.

After a while, she turned into a little sun, which complemented the brilliance of the castle, and the powerful rules superimposed each other, and the suppressing power of fire on monsters was doubled immediately.

In the black tide formed by the horrors, sparks kept rising and falling, and many injured horrors even burst into flames.

Rhodes felt that his strength had been strengthened, and his spiritual energy had also been quickly restored, and the speed of cleaning up monsters became faster.

So strong.

Rhodes couldn't help sighing, is this the characteristic of "Eternal Burning Fire"?The first-class characteristic among the seven characteristics of Wangcheng.

It is a bit similar to the "eternal flame" of the stars, I don't know if it is a coincidence or something related.

Rhodes didn't think about it further. He was no longer satisfied with killing monsters in one area, and started to kill monsters in other areas. The Book of Knowledge laughed wildly in his mind like he had epilepsy.

"Ahaha, ahaha, I'm posting it!"

His astonishing efficiency stunned the warriors, as well as the commander of Stormcastle.

Rhodes fought all the way from the southwest corner to the northeast corner, without blinking an eye, hundreds of thousands of horrors were killed by him.

The pressure on various areas on the city wall dropped sharply. Once the Terrors could not form a numerical advantage, they did not pose much threat under the firelight.

It's a moment of eve.

The battle is officially over, and the tide of terror has been completely wiped out.

Investigators told the crowd that the next attack was at least a few days away.

This shows that the crisis of Storm Castle in this round has been temporarily lifted.

Of course, if the psychic cannon is not repaired, Stormcastle will always be in crisis.

Although more than 1000 engineers went all out, the psychic cannon suffered great damage in the previous attack.

Especially the main gun, it will not be repaired for a while.

So their crisis is far from over.

Armando, who hadn't shot for the entire game, told him that this was not a real threat to Stormcastle, but just one of the regular attacks.

"What is really difficult is not the infinite number of terrors, but some kind of bigger terror."

"They have faster speed, stronger filthy skin, and more violent pollution. Warriors can't get close, and they are not afraid of long-range attacks."

"These horrors are the most troublesome existence."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Excellency Armando, with me here, everything is not a problem."

Armando said indifferently: "It's good for young people to be confident, but don't be overconfident. The big terrorists are very difficult to deal with, and there are not many of them."
