the last king of darkness

Chapter 457 Maybe There Will Really Be a Miracle
Since the source of the disaster was eliminated, the battlefield has gradually become normalized.

The psychic energy in the Starry Sky City area quieted down, no longer berserk, even the turbulent flow of psychic energy disappeared, and non-first-level combatants could also enter this area.

A large number of logistics personnel and medical personnel came to Xinghuan Town, bringing them sufficient supplies and logistical support. Master builders and defense masters began to further build this stronghold so that it can better perform its duties as a base.

However, combat missions are still limited to first-level combatants, and only a very small number of second-level combatants can participate in the battle.

The movement of the investigation corps is no longer restricted. A large number of high-level investigators and elite investigation teams have stationed in Xinghuan Town. They uniformly wear gray-green uniforms and the conspicuous markings of the investigation corps. Get the most accurate information.

The battle became orderly. The monster's type, level, psychic strength, and whether it had a source were all investigated clearly. Horus integrated various factors and dispatched personnel to clean it up. The battle was orderly and there were few accidents.

This is a good thing for all.

Not only for Rhodes.

His divinity has decreased visible to the naked eye. Although his performance in conventional combat is still very dazzling, his importance is much lower than before, and the divinity he has gained will naturally be less.

What's worse, due to the transparency of the battlefield, Rhodes can find that it is full of divinity everywhere, every battle has it, but he can only get a very small part of it.

There is nothing more painful than being close at hand and far away.

As soon as he returned to Xinghuan Town, Rhodes was extremely entangled. He wished he could become thousands of people and harvest all divinity, but this was impossible.

This kind of suffering is really unbearable.

To make matters worse, although neither Horus nor Rovia disclosed the specific battle situation to him, just looking at the red dots representing threats on the fog disk and the speed at which they were cleared, it was impossible to clear them before Hanukkah.

This means that they will inevitably fight against the danger of facing the enemy in the battle of Starry Sky City.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Rhodes had much higher expectations for the Battle of Starry Sky City than anyone else.

What is the relationship between the mysterious and powerful Starry Queen and the dream? What is the soul of the queen? How much divinity will be obtained by killing the queen? Waiting for countless questions, waiting for him to solve them.

In addition, the Queen of Stars is also the key for him to ignite the next big star.

The power of [Giant Power] cannot be questioned, but it is conceivable that the other big star [Truth] will not be much worse.

If he can have two big stars, plus a huge amount of divinity, the chances of victory will undoubtedly increase a lot in the face of the invasion of the Soul Devourer King.

Therefore, the battle of Starry Sky City must not go wrong.

However, Wang Cheng has not made any changes for a long time, and he has such an attitude of continuing to fight.

Rhodes could only ask Horus.

Since Rovia the Son of Fire came back, Horus was finally able to take a breather, and he devoted most of his energy to treating the wounded. The new technique proposed by Rhodes is really easy to use, and it will move the soul surgery forward. A big step forward.

Every time Horus performed soul surgery with the knife, the Healing Church watched the whole process, and the medical practitioners kept making exclamation and breathing sounds one after another, no matter how many times.

The Healing Order under the Holy Church is the main medical force in the royal city, and the central medical practitioners are the highest-ranking medical practitioners in the royal city. Most of them are students of Horus, and Horus asked them to visit for the purpose of teaching.

Such an exquisite technique will inevitably be popularized in the royal city on a large scale, saving many lives.

Every central medical doctor is very clear about the meaning it represents, and some people even cried bitterly when they were excited, for the souls they once wanted to save but could not save.

Rhodes' reputation reached reverence in an instant, and everyone who saw him would take off his hat and pay tribute to him.

Originally, things were perfect up to this point, but one of Rhode's acquaintances among the central medical practitioners—Aunt Uther, at her suggestion, and with the consent of all medical practitioners, this new technique of great significance was officially approved. named:

"Black Rice Bucket Technique"

In order to commemorate the immortal achievements of the great black rice bucket Lord Rhodes.

Rhodes had no time to worry about his pain, just like Alan said, when he became a human hero, he could change whatever he wanted.

Of course, Rhodes still has a long way to go if he wants to become the supreme "human hero" in the legend, and the battle of Starry Sky City is the biggest ups and downs on this road.

After Horus listened to Rhodes' words, sorrow appeared on his dead wood face.

"Rods, it's not that Wangcheng doesn't want to completely remove the threat, but our combat power has been used to the extreme. We have entered the most contracted defense state. We have given up a large area of ​​territory, and we can only provide so much combat power."

Rhodes asked: "What about the core army? We used the core army to attack the storm pass, why not use it here? There are nearly [-] soldiers in the resonance plate, which is an invincible force."

Horus shook his head slightly.

"Rods, the core army cannot be used easily. It is a needle that gathers power at one point. It can pierce a solid point, but it cannot destroy enemies in all directions. Therefore, when we were in the Kuroshio, we did not use the core at all. Legion."

"Moreover, the disturbance of the resonating disk is too great, and it is likely to alarm the existence in the starry sky city. If that happens, everything will be bad."

Rhode's heart sank, knowing that Horus was right, but he still asked unwillingly, "Is there no other way?"

Horus shook his head: "No."

"Aren't we seven sons of fire, four great knight commanders, and eleven super fighters? Why only one came?"

Horus' face darkened.

"Rods, you have to know that Trorian is not just a royal city. Our territory is very large, and we are threatened by far more than you can imagine. Every threat may destroy Trorian. Old Abyss The Aries Demon King below, the Ancient Dragon King in the Lake of Ashes, the Night King on the Land of Eternal Winter, and the King of Light on the Red Clay are all absolute threats of the highest level."

"The highest battle order of the Temple of Fire is a special battle order specially established to guard against absolute threats, but you didn't know it before."

Rhodes was silent. He actually had a similar guess long ago. Dalin and Wang had vaguely told him before that what really restricted Trorian's expansion was actually the existence of these so-called absolute threats.

They are kings in an active state, and may be disturbed by the sacred fire at any time to launch a surprise attack on Trorian.

Only the special fighters who are lawmakers can check and balance such threats.

This is absolutely impossible to mobilize, and super fighters will also have their missions, but those are the top secrets of the royal city, and even Rhodes has no authority to know.

This human kingdom living in the boundless darkness seems to be stable, but in fact it has been dancing on the tip of a needle.

Every step of Trorian is walking on a tightrope. It is no wonder that those elders are so opposed to expansion. Human instinct is actually to seek stability. Without huge benefits, no one is willing to take an unstable risk. Life.

But Rhodes was still very reconciled, and asked again: "Don't we have any other combat power? The city defense army, the conqueror army, the knight order...are there no strong ones? What about the assistance from the royal city?"

Horus raised his voice slightly, apparently a little annoyed.

"In addition to the absolute threat, there are many equally dangerous threats. It is impossible for us to mobilize all our combat power regardless."

"I know how you feel. The Starry Sky City battlefield is indeed important, but our home is even more important."

Horus's tone slowed down, and he persuaded gently.

"What's more, we still have to prepare for the final battle of Starry Sky City, which is the most critical battle. If that battle fails, what's the point of cleaning up the outer battlefield no matter how clean it is?"

"Believe me, Rhodes, the situation is not that bad, maybe the disturbance of the battle won't wake up those monsters, and we won't be defenseless."

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "Your Excellency, how are we going to attack Starry Sky City?"

Horus said in harmony: "Currently we plan to attack Starry Sky City with a gradually encroaching combat method. We will choose the best entry point, cut into the palace with the shortest route, and finally enter the holy fire sacrificial field of the Starry Kingdom to kill the stars. Queen, take the Seed of the Holy Fire."

"Won't the way of cutting combat attract the monsters in the city?" Rhodes asked. The Bell of Silence can only cover up ordinary disturbances. In this level of battle, the Bell of Silence has very little effect.

Horus shook his head.

"No, the investigative legion has already investigated. The space where Starry Sky City is located is distorted and fractured, and the spiritual energy fluctuations cannot travel very far inside."

Rhodes sighed: "Are we really without reinforcements?"

"maybe."

said Horus.

"Wang and Dalin are doing their best to deploy. If we are lucky, reinforcements may arrive."

Rhodes was silent.

Horus patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Little Rhodes, don't be too anxious. If you really want to help Wang Cheng in this area, you can invent a few new soul surgeries. That spell saved many soldiers and preserved a lot of combat power for us, no matter from which aspect..."

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Rhodes' mind, and he asked anxiously, "Your Excellency, Archbishop, are there many retired fighters like elders in the royal city?"

Horus' words were interrupted, with a slightly hesitant expression on his face, but he still replied: "Yes, there are more than [-] fighters who have retreated to the second line due to various reasons, and most of them have suffered irreparable serious injuries. , serious pollution and corrosion, or the decline of the soul due to age and other reasons."

Rhodes asked: "Are there many high-level combatants among them? First-level, or similarly close to the first-level."

Horus glanced at Rhodes, and replied without any fluctuations in his tone.

"There are about 200 people, most of them are members of the elders, or some masters or scholars in the royal city."

"Most of their combat effectiveness is far inferior to when they were strong. In fact, the elders have been actively participating in the battle, but it doesn't have much effect. Wangcheng just uses them as an alternative."

Horus was reminding him that Wang Cheng had already thought of what he thought of.

But Rhodes just smiled.

"I have a way."

Horus frowned: "What way?"

Rhodes took out a glistening tear of the goddess from his arms.

After killing the main brain and obtaining a large harvest of starlight shards, Rhodes created more than 100 tears of the goddess in one go.

He gave part to Horus twice, and got a lot of divinity.

When Rhodes found out that there was no divinity for Horus, he resolutely refused, saying that he didn't have any, which made Horus very depressed when he tried to get a tear of the goddess for experiment.

But he didn't doubt it either, unexpectedly Rhodes took out a new one at this time.

Horus' dead wood-like face suddenly collapsed, as if it had been soaked in a cesspit for hundreds of years.

"Aren't you gone?"

Rhodes said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the production of this thing is very slow, and I have worked hard to make this drop again."

Horus' face became more fragrant: "Then give it to me, I just have an idea..."

Rhodes coughed and interrupted him. Horus' experiment was meaningless, and he could see it from his divinity. In fact, no one except Horus himself thought his experiment was promising.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, you should know that the weakness of the old soul is mostly due to the pollution and darkness that cannot be cleaned up deep in the soul."

Horus understood him in an instant.

"You mean, you want the elders and the school masters to take the tears of the goddess and return to their youthful state?"

Rhodes nodded.

Horus looked uncertain, and asked: "Is the tear of the goddess useful? Can it be used like this?"

Rhodes nodded and said: "Don't worry, I used it like this before, and the first elder Amando, who was originally sluggish, shot wildly on the spot."

Horus scolded: "Rhods, please be more respectful in your wording. What is wild shooting?"

"It is to use its own characteristic ability to launch attacks continuously, and it will not fall down."

Horus was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Can I use it?"

The Tears of the Goddess is the soul creation of Rhodes, and he has the final say on all instructions for use, which is equivalent to official instructions.

Rhodes coughed: "Your soul is not too filthy, and is in very good condition. The tears of the goddess may not be of much use."

Horus looked a little disappointed, but also faintly excited.

"Rod, what do you want to do?"

Rhodes said: "I want to return to the Temple of Fire temporarily, and organize the elders and school masters to return to the battlefield. At the same time, I also hope to obtain certain authority to facilitate command and transfer."

The authority to command the elders group is not an ordinary authority, even the king has never had it.

"Okay, I will inform Wang and Dalin."

But Horus resolutely agreed, turned around, and picked up the psionic communication crystal on the table, which was an instant message to the royal city.

"Go, I'll wait for your good news."

Rhodes flew out and rushed to the passage of the undead.

Looking at his receding back, Horus thought silently in his heart.

Anyway, trust him once.

Maybe a miracle will really happen.
