the last king of darkness

Chapter 415 Undead Passage
When the light of the guardian fire lights up here, dispelling the black mist, and illuminating this huge and empty canyon, it means that mankind has won the complete victory of this battle.

Boiling cheers echoed in this canyon for a long time, and many soldiers couldn't help crying. Such a depressing and difficult battle was the only thing they had ever seen in their lives. Fighting among the endless corpses of giants, they could not see any hope. It was once thought that they would eventually be overwhelmed by those terrifying giant undead.

But now, they have won.

The incomparably magnificent storm pass was destroyed, and all the giant's corpses were reduced to ashes. Except for the remaining foundation, there are no traces left here.

From now on, Trorian opened up the largest passage from the gray earth continent to the dead earth continent.

This is something that no one has done since the establishment of the Trorian Kingdom more than 1000 years ago.

When the news reached Wangcheng, the entire military department was boiling.

All the army chiefs, defense chiefs, commanders, and staff put down their work and started cheering wildly, spilling papers and documents everywhere.

In the Supreme Council, the elders also showed expressions of relief.

Although they are conservative, it doesn't mean that they don't want to win, they don't desire to be strong, they just worry that doing so will cause huge risks.

Now, Wang has proved that his flame plan is feasible.

The first elder, Amondo, looked at his wrinkled hands, which had nothing but chapped skin, but vaguely, he seemed to see the fire in his hands.

"I seem to hold onto hope."

Armando thought.

"Perhaps, Trorian can usher in its second glory."

He stood up and said in a hoarse voice that everyone could hear clearly.

"Everyone, let's go. The king has fulfilled his promise. Now, it's time for us to fulfill our promise."

The elders got up silently, followed the first elder out of the supreme council, and headed for the sacred fire sacrificial field.

They will be there to discuss the most critical step of the torch plan with Wang.

-

-

Soon, a meeting involving the highest level of Trorian was held at the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

Almost all the important people were present, and those who could not be present were replaced by images of psychic communication.

Rhodes is also among them.

Because of the great feat he created, no one has any objection to it.

Many people have felt the power of [Spiritual Tide], Wangcheng immediately listed it as a strategic level ability, Archbishop Horus even took him to do a detailed body check, we must find out After all, he still has those endlessly emerging weird abilities.

In order to avoid exposing the existence of the dream, Rhodes truthfully explained the abilities and means he currently possesses. Of course, he still concealed the part related to the dream. The price cannot be activated easily.

But even so, Rhodes' inspection results shocked all the inspectors.

They have never seen a Spark Sequence with so many functions. Not only does he have a powerful recovery ability, a super psychic cannon, but also a super spiritual vision, a one-hit kill method, and various special creations. Ability.

The Wangcheng Library wrote a book for him alone, listing a very detailed table, detailing every special feature of Rhodes.

The War Department has set up a file room specifically for him to study how to use his abilities to maximize the effect.

The Kingworth Society even formed a new school specifically for him, called the Rhodes School. The mission of this school is only one, and that is to study how to replicate Rhodes' success and find a second person with a black rice bucket.

Of course, this school was doomed to fail from the very beginning.

In short, Rhodes was in the limelight for a while, overshadowing all new stars, [Spiritual Tide] was considered to be the most perfect partner for legion battles, and according to the calculations of the War Department, it could restore at least 30% of the overall spiritual energy.

This is quite an astonishing statistic.

Everyone's jaws dropped in shock. It's unheard of for a fire seed to recover so much psionic energy.

Only Rhodes was not satisfied.

The total energy consumption of the legion was too high, even the [Spiritual Tide] was sucked dry, it was far from reaching the scheduled duration, and it ended early.

But even so, [Spiritual Tide] is completely worthy of the 10 points of divinity it consumes.

Because of this, Rhodes was able to sit and attend the meeting.

You know, even the elders have no place to sit here.

Only the most important figures in Trorian are eligible to sit here.

At the meeting, Wang officially announced the torch plan, explaining the fact that the torch will be extinguished and their goals all the time.

More than half of the people were shocked. After all, only a small number of people can participate in the Holy Fire Project. Most people don't know its existence. They think that Wang's expansion is just to lay down more territory for human beings and fight for more resources, let the fire illuminate the larger world.

But they didn't expect that the king's courage was far beyond what they thought. His real goal was the last human kingdom in the age of fire, the royal city of the Starry Kingdom, Tasnia Starry Sky City.

It was a city of the Lord of Fire that had been sunk in darkness for a thousand years.

Compared with the Age of Darkness when the fire was gradually extinguished and human beings declined, the humans in the Age of Fire were much stronger than they are now, and the Fire King City in that period was much stronger than the current Fire King City.

After sinking into the black mist for so many years, no one can imagine what kind of terrifying monsters will be born in it.

The hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.

After a long time, Rovia, the Son of Fire, stood up and said flatly, "My lord, in this case, we don't have much time left."

Many people didn't come to their senses and thought to themselves: "What does it mean that there is not much time left?"

Wang smiled.

"You're right, Rovia, we are running out of time."

"According to the latest revised date of the White Tower, there are only 27 days until this year's Hanukkah. We must make all preparations before arriving at Starry Sky City on the eve of Hanukkah."

Wang Yi waved.

"The moment Hanukkah comes, the decisive battle begins."

After the words fell, there was another deathlike silence.

But immediately, applause rang out, from inside to outside the hall, from sitting to standing, whether it was Rovia, Olivia, Kai, Dalin, Horus, Armando, or Chuche Er, Qingyu, Xingge, Sauron, and Herman are all applauding.

They have been suppressed for too long. From the moment they were born, they have been suppressed by the boundless darkness. The ubiquitous black mist always hides unspeakable horrors. They have been instilled since childhood to act cautiously. Alarming more unknown existence, no matter how powerful they are, there seems to be something more terrifying in the black mist.

The dark Fire King City is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying existences.

But now, they are going to open fire on it. The pleasure of breaking through the shackles, breaking the cage, tearing up the barriers, and exhaling the depression in their hearts is indescribable.

They can only express all this with fierce applause.

The previous series of victories are their source of confidence.

Amidst the warm applause, many people shouted.

"Humanity must win!"

"Dawn will come!"

"The flame never goes out!"

In the following meetings, such shouting voices never stopped. Everyone was excited and excited, eager to immediately assemble their combat power to launch an attack. Some people even suggested to gather all the main core legions, crush them all the way, and rush across the dark plain. Go straight to the Starry Kingdom, defeat the Star City, and return triumphantly before Hanukkah comes.

This ridiculous suggestion was of course rejected.

Although the core army is powerful, behind it is countless logistical support. During the high-load operation of the resonance plate, the materials needed are very amazing. To form and maintain a core army requires the use of the power of the entire kingdom.

Although in theory Trorian has eight core legions, in fact there are only two super-large resonance disks, and they are generally used in rotation, that is to say, it is difficult for two legions to appear at the same time.

With Trorian's current strength, he cannot support the two core legions.

However, one proposal that was too radical was rejected, but another proposal was supported by a considerable number of people.

They thought that they should not disband the legion and continue to move forward until they reached Starry Sky City.

But to their disappointment, the king also vetoed this suggestion. He disbanded the core legion and used the rare time after the end of the war to repair.

Lockhart, the head of the Legion of Conquest, asked incredulously, "My lord, why?"

The king smiled and said: "Lockhart, think about it carefully. Since the expansion war started, the warriors of the entire kingdom have been fighting day and night. Every stronghold, castle, and fortress are full of dangers. Emergency incidents follow one after another. The Temple of Fire There was no one there at one point, and in such a tense environment, have we ever had a moment to rest?"

Lockhart thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case.

Wang continued: "At this time, the war has come to an end, and the psychic disturbance caused by the war has been greatly reduced. In addition, the great leader Asa has disappeared, and the book of destiny has been shattered. It is no exaggeration to say that now is the quietest time in the entire kingdom. If you don't repair it now, when will it be?"

Lockhart nodded with deep feeling: "I understand, Your Majesty, the purpose of retracting the fist is to punch it out better."

Wang smiled and said: "Yes, we can still use this time to find out more information and arrange the next actions properly. When everything is ready, we will naturally set off again. Although the time is tight, we can't panic."

All the legion commanders said in unison: "Yes!"

"Starry Sky City can't be fought like this. The storm pass is just a pass, and it is so difficult to fight. Fighting Starry Sky City like this will definitely fail."

"That's right, you can't use the core army to attack Starry Sky City. It's too disturbing. The location of Starry Sky City is very unfavorable to us, and we can only erode it a little bit."

Wang said: "We will discuss the battle plan of Starry Sky City later, Liszt, the task of investigating Starry Sky City will be entrusted to you during this time. The Starry Sky City is too special, and the White Tower cannot directly observe it."

Liszt, the head of the investigation legion, came out, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang said: "Dalin, Horus, build a new fortress at Storm Pass as soon as possible, it will be our most important stronghold."

Dalin and Horus bowed slightly: "I obey, Your Majesty."

Wang Yiyi finished arranging the tasks and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Everyone quickly left the stage, they were gearing up and couldn't wait to join in this great human war.

The same is true for Rhodes. When he was thinking about how to get more divinity from it, he was stopped.

"Lord, wait a moment." Wang said, "I have something to ask you."

Rhodes was a little surprised, but also a little taken for granted.

Soon, there were only a few people left in the hall.

Horus said: "King, the situation has been determined."

Wang Chenyin said: "Really? Is there no other solution?"

"Kasan is the best solution."

Kassan?

Rhodes almost suspected that he had heard wrong, and he looked at them with puzzled eyes.

Horus turned his head and asked, "Rhodes, do you know where Starry Sky City is?"

Rhodes shook his head.

Horus flipped his palm, and a huge map appeared in front of him.

"This is the Ember Mountains, this is the Pass of the Storm, and this is the Starry Sky City."

His fingers swiped one by one, and finally landed on the center of the map.

"If we go directly from the storm pass, we will have to cross the vast dark plain. This is an extremely dangerous area, and there are countless terrifying monsters roaming on it. This is the worst choice."

Horus paused, then continued.

"However, based on the ancient books searched by the Society and the Great Library, we found that there is a hidden tunnel here, which is just below the Storm Pass. The coffin of the giant king Omir is its entrance, and it is said that it was excavated from Omir's corpse. "

"Therefore, this passage is also called Omir's Undead Passage. Along this passage, we can directly reach the Starry Sky City."

Rhodes was shocked: "There is such a thing? Why did the corpse dig a tunnel?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "We don't know the specific reason, but according to our investigation, there is a strange steel giant door standing on this passage, which is blessed by various sealing forces. We have passed many tests , showing that it can only be destroyed by physical force."

Rhodes frowned.

"Physical power?"

Horus nodded slightly.

"It must be destroyed by the force generated by the fist touching the door. Other methods are too troublesome, and the strongest physical attack, we think it is Kashan, the seed of extreme anger."

"The first thing I thought of was you."

Rhodes was vaguely disappointed, but also a little fortunate, and asked, "Your Excellency Horus, does she have a chance of succeeding?"

"Very slim."

Rhodes wondered: "My lord, what should I do? Do I train her with all my strength during this time?"

Wang smiled: "No, no, Kashan's Seed of Wrath is very powerful, but it has not fully grown and cannot be controlled. Its use needs to be stimulated by you. The only thing you have to do during this time is to find One of the most efficient and most rousing of Kashan's rages, allowing her to smash that door."

Only then did Rhodes understand, and asked, "Is this the only way? Is there no other way?"

Wang said: "No, this is the most cost-effective way. You and Kashan have a close relationship. I can only entrust you with this matter."

"Are there any side effects?"

"Yes, after this blow, she will rest for two months."

Horus added: "Or two years."

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds, and sighed: "I see."

After discussing a few more words, he turned and left the hall.

At this moment, the Book of Knowledge finally completed the digestion of the root spirituality and woke up.
