the last king of darkness

Chapter 380 Star City

For a moment, Dalin felt that standing in front of him was not a new star, but a human king.

That strong faith infected him like a miracle, making his thinking surpass the cold reason at this moment.

"it is good."

Dalin agreed without hesitation, and with a flash of light on his fingertips, his spiritual energy had conveyed his will to the soul core of the temple.

An invisible wave spread, and Trorian, the human hero who created the king city and ignited the holy fire at the beginning of the dark age, responded to his will.

The core made of Trorian's soul exuded great power, and the flame symbol on Rhodes' collar ignited violently. The blessing from the first human hero in the Dark Age enveloped his whole body, and the slightly fiery red light represented He has already entered the first battle sequence, and the corresponding information has spread to the entire organization system.

This is the unique mode of operation of the Temple of Fire.

Trorian has long since died, but he is still guarding the human blood that has been passed down because of him in another way.

His spirit is long gone, but his will lives on.

Dalin said lightly: "Go, everything has been arranged for you, I hope you won't let me down."

Rhodes clenched a fist with one hand and pressed it in front of his heart: "My body is immortal, and the torch will last forever."

Turn around and leave the hall.

Dalin looked at his receding back from a distance, with an inexplicable psychic light shining in his eyes.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely unreasonable choice, a combat arrangement that violates the basic tactical principles. The crisis in Star City is only suitable for dispatching first-level combatants. Deploy combat groups of secondary combatants.

There is absolutely no reason to send a third-level combatant who has not yet completed the advanced level to support alone.

If Rhodes loses, or causes more serious consequences, he, the first chief of defense, will go to court martial.

But Dalin still issued this order without hesitation.

He believed in Rhodes, believed in miracles and hope, and believed that Rhodes would bring miracles and hope as before.

That young boy has already transformed.

That's right.

Dalin clenched his fists.

The current situation is not optimistic, and the moment when the stars shine is their last chance.

Project Flame must not fail.

And he put all the last chips on Rhodes.

Everything is up to you.

outside the palace.

flying platform.

Rhodes rarely obtained a separate psionic floating carriage, and the envoy of the palace personally drove it for him.

The City of Stars is still outside Trorian's territory, and the sky above the dark world cannot fly at will, and one must follow a specific path.

Under the respectful eyes of the envoys, Rhodes got into the carriage alone.

Accompanied by powerful spiritual energy, the carriage pierced through the air and left.

Goal, City of Stars!

Rhodes had heard of this ancient city long before the arrival of the Kuroshio, the human legion had occupied the city.

During the duration of the Kuroshio, Trorian divided one-third of its combat power to maintain its occupation, which is one of the reasons why the Kuroshio caused heavy losses to humans.

But now, the Kuroshio has long since ended, and Trorian is safely expanding westward. The Star City, far outside Trorian's territory, is still in a stalemate, completely failing to play its strategic role as a fulcrum for mankind to march into the dark world.

The expansion war is so difficult, and Star City's delay in fulfilling its planned strategic intentions also accounts for a large part of the reason.

Lockhart, the Legion Commander in charge of occupying Star City, was under tremendous pressure.

If it weren't for Wang's insistence, he would have been replaced long ago.

Although the war is unfavorable, Wangcheng has always kept calm, constantly sending prophets, investigators, and spire observers to the city of stars to investigate.

The real reason why the Star City has never been able to become a stronghold of human beings is that there is a terrifying darkness hidden deep underground, the guardian fire cannot take root in the Star City, and powerful dark creations continue to emerge from the ground, causing serious damage to the humans on the surface. Huge devastation.

The soldiers of Star City dug thousands of yards of deep pits underground, but they did not find the source of the darkness. Instead, as the excavation deepened, more powerful and weirder monsters continued to emerge, and the battle was endless.

The results of the investigation were also very strange. The psychic investigation did not find anything of value, but the prophecy revealed that there was a terrible disaster hidden under the city of stars.

After several days of discussions, everyone agreed that there was a dark and distorted vision hidden under the city of stars.

And the one who can best deal with the existence of dark and distorted visions is the candidate for the king who holds the "eternal burning fire".

However, sending Qingyu there after exhausting all kinds of hardships failed to solve the fundamental problem.

Along the way, the envoy detailed the current state of Star City.

Rhodes listened quietly, without saying a word, the leaked psychic light kept flickering around him.

In the dream, the book of knowledge, which was also listening to it, danced and danced, the pages of the book flapped and ran around in the square of stars.

"Hahaha, good! That's great! I'm not wrong at all! Star City is indeed the best choice, 50 points of divinity! I'm confident that I can win it in one day!"

But the puppet said on the side: "Not necessarily, the book of knowledge, the information so far shows that the city of stars is not an ordinary dark distortion vision, and it may not even be a distortion vision, but some kind of more powerful darkness. The words are too one-sided.”

The Book of Knowledge furiously said: "Fart, you are naked jealousy! You slander me like this because you see that my weight in the master's heart has increased! Your character is too low, master, we should quickly let this waste Go to sleep, waste the energy of the dream, I alone is enough to assist you!"

Rhodes smiled and said: "Book, don't let anger affect your wisdom. Our first task is to get more divinity, make your master stronger, and restore the dream faster, so that you can restore your original appearance earlier .”

"That's right!"

cried the Book of Knowledge.

"I have locked the location of the dream fragments in the Kingdom of Light, and we will be there in just six days!"

Rhodes praised casually: "As expected of you, Book of Knowledge."

All the pages of the Book of Knowledge boiled up: "That's right, the master didn't say anything! My wisdom and beauty exist forever, and no one's slander can hurt me at all, hmph!"

It slammed the paper at the doll and closed it with a bang, giving it an air of arrogance.

The expression of the puppet remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Book of Knowledge, you should pay attention to collecting all the information so that you can use your characteristics when necessary. The more you know, the less the cost will be. If you It’s best to be able to directly find the answer to solve the problem.”

The book of knowledge reads: "Bah! Do you still need to teach me? I don't know my characteristics?"

Rhodes said: "That's right, you have to collect as much information as possible, and observe the environment around me through dreams at any time."

The book of knowledge slapped itself: "Don't worry, master, please call me the king of information collection! No knowledge can escape my collection!"

Rhodes said with a smile: "Very well, then let us ignite the fire of victory and sound the clarion call for the human counterattack!"

The book of knowledge and the puppet replied in unison: "Yes, master!"

A powerful hot current surged into Rhodes' heart, surging in his soul, making him hot all over.

He can't wait to go to Star City to show his skills.

The powerful strength gave him great confidence, and the 165 points of divinity were his confidence to dare to challenge this impossible task.

He firmly believes that no matter what crisis Star City encounters, he can destroy it.

The floating psychic carriage passed through the black mist soundlessly, and Rhodes looked through the window.

The black mist outside the window was lighter, like the morning mist, and he could see far away at a glance.

When the stars were shining, the power of the black mist was suppressed.

However, the farther you look, the more and deeper the dark world you see.

As far as the eye can see, it is all black mist, and the majestic and infinite dark world makes people feel more oppressed and frightened.

But now, Rhodes has firm faith in his heart and is no longer afraid.

So what if the darkness is bigger?I gradually nibbled.

So what if there are more monsters?I break down one by one.

I am the Devourer of Darkness!
As long as the soul is immortal, I will eat you up sooner or later!

The corners of Rhodes' mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.

That's right!

When human beings are in crisis, I will take the lead in the charge and tear apart the last darkness before dawn.

Humanity will never perish, and the torch will surely be passed on.

-

The speed of the floating psychic carriage was very fast. About two hours later, Rhodes arrived at Star City.

The City of Stars hasn't changed much from the last time I saw it. This ancient city is in a broken state of destruction. There are collapsed buildings and cracked walls everywhere. Most of the soldiers stationed live in temporary buildings.

The only exception is the church standing in a large ruined wall.

This is the Starry Cathedral built by the Starry Kingdom. For some special reason, it still stands 500 years after the fall of the Star City. Now, it is used by Legion Chief Lockhart as a combat command center.

The news that Wangcheng sent new supporters had already arrived in Star City. As soon as Rhodes got out of the car, the second defense chief, deputy army commander Zhang Bai, and first commander Herman greeted him.

"Brother Rhodes, I finally saw you again after parting at the Trident River."

Herman came up with a big hug, but he noticed something strange in the next second.

"Have you advanced to the tenth level of spiritual power?"

Rhodes nodded slightly.

Heman said in surprise: "No wonder Your Excellency Dalin dared to send you here. When I saw the transfer order, I thought I was dreaming... But, you haven't completed the psychic upgrade ceremony yet!"

Zhang Bai on the side also had a relationship with Rhodes, and he couldn't help but look him up and down while his face was full of surprise.

"Why don't you come back after completing the psychic energy upgrade ceremony? Now you can't fully control the psychic energy, and your combat power will be lost."

Before Rhodes answered, Herman thought he had guessed the answer, and held Rhodes' hand with a full face.

"It's an emergency. I'm so touched that you came to support me without even performing the psychic level-up ceremony! In this way, after the crisis is resolved, I will let my wife accompany you for a night."

Herman's wife is a well-known Fireman of the Spiritual Fire Sequence, and her soul characteristic is the ejection of meat bullets. In order to maximize the power of the characteristic, she ate Hesse crazily and gained weight crazily. Her figure seemed to be at least five hundred It weighs a lot, and its thumb is thicker than Rhodes' arm.

Rhodes laughed and said, "Your Excellency Herman, is it not good for your wife to hear this? Let's discuss the current situation first, and the crisis in Star City must be resolved as soon as possible."

Herman said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we will talk as we walk."

The three wandered through the ruined city.

Heman first said: "Legion Commander Lockhart and Guardian Qingyu are dealing with the black mist spreading upwards underground, and most of our fighters are also fighting there, and the people on the surface are taking turns and receiving treatment for their injuries. "

Zhang Bo said: "We found a dungeon underground that is far larger than the ground. According to the report of the investigation team, its time span is at least three eras, with mixed styles, old and new. The black mist came from a huge part of the dungeon. It came up from the deep pit."

Rhodes frowned slightly: "Why does the black mist spread upward from the ground?"

Zhang Bo replied: "Generally, this is because of the super-strong black mist gathering underground, or geological changes for some special reason. Something exists inside, and the only solution to it is to dig it out and wipe out all darkness."

Heman continued: "This is where the problem arises. The deeper the pit is dug, the deeper it is dug, the thicker the black mist gushing out, the stronger the erosion force, and the more monsters swarming out of it. The stronger they are, we tried our best to stop them in the dungeon, but now we can't support them anymore."

"If we can't find its source and the situation continues to deteriorate, Wangcheng may implement the worst plan."

Herman's tone was heavy, and Zhang Bai's face was also very gloomy.

"Give up the city of stars."

Rhodes frowned even deeper. If he was forced to abandon the Star City, the loss would be great. The Holy Fire Project died directly. All the investment for so long was in vain, and so many soldiers who died because of this, all became senseless death.

This kind of thing must never happen.

"Book of Knowledge." Rhodes asked in his mind, "Did you find anything?"

In the dream, the book of knowledge twisted its pages, looking very distressed: "More than half of this knowledge is missing, and my characteristics cannot capture the knowledge that I already have but is missing due to the broken soul."

The puppet also said: "Most of my soul is missing, and of the only remaining part, there is no information about it.

Rhodes nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Take me to the dungeon."

The Book of Knowledge hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master, it's not because of lack of information, it's because my soul hasn't recovered, no matter how much information I give, it's useless."

Rhodes shook his head: "It's not to collect information."

The Book of Knowledge was surprised: "If we don't collect information, then what are we going to do?"

There was a flash of inspiration in the puppet's eyes, as if he had sensed something, but he didn't speak.

Rhodes smiled slightly.

"Of course to solve the crisis."
