the last king of darkness

Chapter 385 Mushroom City and Starlight Shards (Part [-])
Empire.

War Department.

When the news of Star City's victory came, the entire military department fell into carnival.

Everyone happily cheered, hugged, and even kissed each other, regardless of whether the other was a man or a woman.

Star City was all their nightmares.

Initially, they thought they could win it in just four weeks.

After four weeks, it was found that there was still more darkness under the ground, so it was thought that ten weeks would clear it.

After ten weeks, it was discovered that there were more than three levels of prison underground, so another ten weeks were given.

And so, ten weeks and ten weeks, and months and months.

At the most, it even dragged down nearly one-third of Trorian's conventional combat power.

Everyone is regretting the rash attack on Star City, and they are all fantasizing about the victory after taking Star City.

But I didn't expect this day to really come.

The chiefs of defense immediately took action.

With the fulcrum of Star City, they can fight on both sides at the same time, and the speed of advancement can be greatly improved.

And in the Palace of Fire, Dalin even saw the hope of fulfilling the agreement.

Armando's requirements are very demanding, but if it is really completed, the success rate of the Holy Fire Project will undoubtedly increase a lot.

In some ways, this is actually a good thing.

Dalin smiled a little, but it disappeared quickly.

At present, after taking the Star City, the situation of the war is much better than at the beginning, but there are still many difficulties.

The biggest problem is - the upcoming battle of Storm's Pass.

Attacking the storm pass is an absolutely tough battle. Trorian must use his real trump card, and Wangcheng must gather a core-level main army to defeat the storm pass with a decisive battle.

And the preparations needed for this decisive battle are not much less than the decisive battle itself.

The dark world covered by the boundless black mist is extremely large, and there are countless horrors hidden in it. The larger the scale of the battle, the greater the disturbance it will cause. No one knows what will startle or wake up in the end.

Trorian, who has survived in the Dark Era for more than 1000 years, understands the risks of war and the rules of survival very well. They will not easily expand the war, and they will rarely use the core-level main army.

Even if its super-large battle array is bounded by spiritual power, it is infinitely powerful.

They clearly know that no matter how powerful the power is, it is small in front of the real darkness. Once the darkness is disturbed, more monsters will come, and the battle will expand infinitely, and the disturbance will also expand infinitely.

The final outcome is that everyone will be overwhelmed by darkness.

This is also the reason why the elders strongly opposed the king's expansion plan, and even more strongly opposed the holy fire plan.

But unexpectedly, the First Elder miraculously agreed.

Although it is conditional, agreeing to this matter is itself a miracle.

The consequences of the expansion war have been very obvious. It has far exceeded expectations. There are huge crises in all parts of Trorian. There are insufficient personnel and combat power. All kinds of threats caused by disturbances are superimposed on the Together, they formed all the difficulties they are currently encountering.

Based on Dalin's understanding of the elders, they would never agree to the holy fire plan that was even crazier than the expansion plan.

But I don't know why, Amando actually resisted all opinions and made a 30-day agreement with Wang.

Perhaps Wang's special charm convinced Armando and let him see a glimmer of victory.

Dalin thought to himself.

But no matter what the truth is, this is a very hard-won opportunity.

He clenched his fists tightly, and the bright light flickered in his eyes.

No matter what, even if I sacrifice everything, I will still grab it!

Rhodes' goal now is very clear, which is divinity.

Everything must make way for divinity.

While the stars are shining, he will not consider any issues except divinity.

And the place where divinity can be found most is undoubtedly the Palace of Fire.

It is Trorian's last line of defense and the center of the worst crises.

Trorian's top combat power is mobilized here.

Only here, Rhodes can find the mission with the most divinity.

Due to his special status, the combat command room is unimpeded for him.

Except for the top level of combat power, Rhodes knows all the battle arrangements, and the combat command room is completely defenseless against him.

Therefore, the Book of Knowledge can quickly compare each task and find the one with the most divinity and the highest efficiency.

And this kind of behavior of choosing tasks by oneself is Rhodes' unique privilege.

Facts have proved that Rhodes not only has the ability to create miracles, but also has a unique strategic vision. The War Department even noticed Lockhart's unofficial words, and even the proposal to serve as the army commander was seriously discussed by them.

Rhodes was a little moved, but the book of knowledge told him that he is not suitable to be a legion commander now.

The legion commander is not only the commander, but he is also responsible for everything about the entire legion, and building a legion is a very long process, which is not suitable for his current goal.

Resolving the crisis directly is still the most efficient way at present.

Moreover, he currently has many opportunities.

The occupation of Star City did not ease the human situation, but made it more tense.

Whether it is the Temple of Fire or the War Department, they are frantically stepping up their forces and moving forward, trying to expand the border of Trorian to the Storm Pass as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we leave enough time to prepare for the decisive battle.

And all parts of Trorian are also doing their best to deal with nearby threats and hidden dangers.

Everyone knows that once the decisive battle at the storm pass starts, the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations will inevitably alarm the monsters hidden under the black mist.

They must first deal with nearby threats and hidden dangers in order to reduce the pressure on the decisive day.

Otherwise, when the decisive battle starts, Wang Cheng puts all his energy into the decisive battle, but the rear suddenly loses his defense, then it will be difficult to handle.

It is precisely because of this that the Book of Knowledge immediately found many high-level tasks, many more than before.

"Support Liguang Fortress, destroy the giant skeletons under the corpse plain, 5 points of divinity...too little, too little!"

"Clear the mud swamp, 15 points of divinity! Uh, but the mud swamp is so big, and the mudhead worms hide under the mud, this task can't be completed in a month, no!"

"Deeply clean the sewers of Wangcheng, 3 points of divinity, uh..."

At this moment, a red request for help flew to the combat command room.

Red means critical, and Dalin immediately launched a report.

This is a request for help from Mushroom City.

Mushroom City is one of the most important food producing areas in Trorian. The mushroom trees planted in it have an amazing yield, and they can grow hundreds of catties of mushrooms in a week. The most common food in Trorian is canned food made of various mushrooms and liquor.

Mushroom City is located in the interior of Trorian, behind heavy protection, and its own defense force is also sufficient, so it will generally not be attacked.

But this time, a powerful monster attacked it from the spirit world, and the White Tower's reaction was a bit slower, failing to detect its threat in advance.

There are no high-level combatants in the defense force of Mushroom City, and the monsters are unstoppable to plunder in Mushroom City, and the situation is very dangerous.

The Book of Knowledge immediately shouted: "15 points of divinity! A single enemy, that's it!"

Rhode immediately reached out and suppressed the report: "Your Excellency Dalin, I'll go."

Dalin's face was solemn: "Rods, this monster is an extremely difficult spirit of sin, and Mushroom City must not have any losses. Food is the foundation of everything. Generally speaking, it is impossible for us to send a third-level monster." Combatants deal with this, you know what I mean?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "I understand, please don't worry, leave it to me."

Dalin showed a little smile, what he wanted was these three words.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Rhodes set off without hesitation.

Since the floating psychic carriages were all in use, Rhodes directly called out Annabelle.

"Wow! What a dazzling psychic power!"

Annabelle covered her eyes when she saw him.

"What are you doing Rhodes? Why don't you put away your psionic energy?"

Rhodes briefly explained a few words before Annabelle understood.

"Isn't it... Is this the gap between people? You have already reached the tenth level of psionic power! I am still a little short of the sixth level."

Annabelle covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide, looking in disbelief.

"My God! When I first met you, my psionic power was a hundred times stronger than yours! Now your psionic power is almost a hundred times stronger than mine!"

Having said that, Annabelle didn't seem a bit depressed.

Since Rhodes cured her "deformed soul" with the tears of the goddess, she seemed to be a different person, and her cultivation speed had greatly increased.

Although it was only at the level of an ordinary person, the improvement in her confidence was by no means a star.

During this period of time, Annabelle practiced herself almost crazily, completely immersed in the pleasure of the crazy increase in strength, she had never enjoyed such growth, so that she was madly obsessed with this feeling, even To the point of madness.

For her, this is her dream of paradise.

Staying in such a paradise, her heart was surrounded by happiness and joy, leaving no trace of jealousy or resentment.

Rhodes was also happy for her, and only regretted not seeing the problem earlier and giving her the tears of the goddess earlier to heal her soul.

——In that case, not only would there be a little more divinity, Annabelle would also be regarded as his strength, and some of the achievements she created would be counted as his divinity.

"Let's go to Mushroom City."

"Are you going to Mushroom City?"

Annabe became excited when she heard the destination.

"That's my hometown, no one is more familiar with its journey than me, let's ride up."

Annabe slapped her butt and turned into a centaur with a bang.

"Hold me tight!"

Rhodes jumped on the horse's back and hugged her waist tightly. Annabe let go of her hooves and rushed out of the city like the wind.

Annabe's speed was much faster than before, and even the levitating psychic speed car was far behind her.

Rhodes sighed: "Annabelle, you are so fast."

Annabelle smiled triumphantly: "Amazing, isn't it? This is my awakened state. Although it's not as dazzling as my sisters, it's still useful."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Not only that, Annabelle, if you grow up, you may not be worse than your sisters. I believe that sooner or later, you will fight side by side with them."

Annabelle's eyes lit up visibly.

The psychic message "The Undefeated" Jessica gave her was a big blow to her. If Rhodes hadn't cured her soul, she might not be able to get out.

"A deformed soul cannot go to the battlefield", which means that she has no possibility to fight side by side with her sisters.

This is her deepest nightmare, the most unacceptable future.

Lose this hope, and she loses everything.

Fortunately, Rhodes brought her hope back.

Annabelle was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart, and had already regarded him as her savior.

"It would be great if you could be my man."

She felt Rhodes' warmth and every detail of riding on her, and her mind drifted unconsciously.

"It's a pity that there are too many women around her. Hey, it would be great if I could be as strong as my sisters and the others. I can catch them hard."

Rhodes didn't know what the centaur under him was thinking, he just felt that there were too few tears of the goddess.

It would be great if we could find a few more star fragments.

Star Fragments are the key material for making Tears of the Goddess, and it is also a key issue restricting its production.

Rhodes turned his eyes at will, and suddenly saw a little flash in the distance of the black mist.

"Huh? What is that?"

Annabelle took a look, although her spiritual vision was very low, but that little light penetrated the black mist and shone into her eyes.

"That's a star shard..."

Annabelle suddenly felt the tightness of the man on her body.

"what happened to you?"

Rhodes shouted anxiously: "Quick, go pick it up!"

Annabe deflected her four hooves, turned at an acute angle and threw herself at the starlight shards, and Rhodes picked them up immediately.

On the palm of his hand, a piece of faint blue starlight was flickering, and Rhodes suddenly remembered it!

Starlight shards are the materials that can only be picked up when the stars are shining.

It is the gift of the stars, the condensed product of the starlight that fell on the earth through the spirit world.

It appears irregularly, scattered across the world, and can only be encountered by luck.

But the real reason for its rarity is that it is difficult to preserve.

It takes less than an hour for a piece of starlight to disappear from its birth, and the general preservation method can only prolong it for a few hours. Only the most advanced sealing crystal can be preserved for a long time.

Because of this, its creations are very rare in the royal city, and its existence is basically not used in the mainstream system of the royal city, so starlight fragments are rare and cheap.

Except for Mephis who saved a large amount by relying on her special means, there is no large amount of storage anymore.

After Rhodes ran out of Memphis's inventory, he fell into a situation where there was a shortage of tears of the goddess. He regretted not cherishing them before.

With such a good opportunity right now, although I can't search for starlight fragments with all my strength, I can at least catch some along the way.

The storage place of the dream can permanently store starlight fragments, so there is no need to worry about storage.

So, along the way, Rhodes has been searching frantically, and when he arrived at Mushroom City, he successfully caught four fragments.

not bad.

Rhodes thought.

Go back and get some more.

"I'm home," said Annabelle with emotion.

Rhodes looked up, and under the gentle firelight, a huge city with a dim color was located in front of him.

It is the largest food producing area in Trorian - Mushroom City.
