the last king of darkness

Chapter 460 Battle of Starry Sky City

Tesrivian Gregorian calendar, 1326, first month (first month)
First day of Hanukkah.

Empire.

The black mist disappeared without a trace, the sky and the earth were bright, and the sky was clear.

The golden sun rises from a distance, and thousands of rays of light shine down from the sky.

The streets and alleys were filled with cheering crowds, the bells of the Church of Fire rang throughout the city, and the golden holy flame rose from the holy fire sacrificial site, unfolding like a splendid tree of fire, sprinkling thousands of sparks, making people The entire royal city is bathed in this splendid dreamy scene.

The remnants of the fire hug each other under the holy fire, and celebrate the remaining life of the fire with laughter and tears.

And their king is standing at the highest point of the holy fire sacrificial field at this moment, far away.

There is no better vision at any moment than now. The oppressive black mist receded to an extremely far distance, and the world became so wide and clear, as if it had changed to a new world.

The boiling royal city was under his feet, and the crown and cloak of fire were burning on his body. Never before had this moment made him feel that his mission was so important.

"My warriors."

Wang murmured, his burning golden eyes were looking in the direction of Starry Sky City.

"I will do my best to help you, and I must win..."

-

Trorian's outermost defenses.

In the eleven important strongholds, the elders and masters finally put down their weapons and watched with relief as the light of the fire dispelled the black mist.

Although it is too far away from the royal city, the sky and the sun are still invisible, but the black mist has become as light as the morning mist, the power of darkness has been greatly suppressed, and the weird and deformed monsters have disappeared without a trace.

The guardian fire in the stronghold was burning violently, releasing raging firepower.

During the duration of Hanukkah, the pressure of defense becomes infinitely less, and monsters usually choose to lie down at this time. Except for the deep black mist, few monsters will wander on the ground.

"Our mission is complete."

After more than ten days of hard work, First Elder Amando's eyes were not tired, but calm like sunset.

"The fighters can finally go home and rest."

A burly elder looked at his hands and sighed: "I really can't believe that one day I will be able to go into battle and kill the enemy. I can dissipate my residual heat. I have already died without regret."

"Hey, what did the old guy say that you can't die, we have another time."

"Yes, yes, we have to eat shit to collect starlight fragments. This feeling of sluggishness and erection is great!"

"Little Rhodes deserves a lot of credit. If anyone says that he is not the brightest new star in the future, I will break his three legs."

The sound of laughter filled the stronghold, and every soldier knew that a year of hardships had finally passed, and they could return to the royal city to rest for a few days, enjoying the warmth of the fire and the embrace of their families.

Only the elders know that in the distant Xinghuan Town, an extremely important decisive battle is about to begin.

For this moment, Trorian has paid too much.

Except for the king and the first elder, no one knows what they sacrificed for this.

This is a battle that bets on the fate of Trorian, and it is also a battle that bets on the future of mankind.

In this dark era when all things are declining, whether human beings can rise against the trend depends on these seven days.

Armando looked in the direction of Starry Sky City and prayed silently in his heart.

"May the fire protect us forever."

-

Far southeast of Trorian.

Under the still thick black fog, a majestic city gate was closed, and four figures surrounded by a slight fire.

"Alan."

One of the burly figures spoke, his voice was deep and deep, like thunder.

"Then, I will leave this place to you to guard."

An equally tall figure nodded slightly: "I see, Geraba."

He made no promises, but he was more reassuring than any promise.

The three figures turned around at the same time, and disappeared behind the black mist in the blink of an eye.

There was only one lonely figure left, a faint flame, standing on top of the ten thousand-foot city tower, facing the majestic darkness that was countless times larger than the city tower alone.

-

Xinghuan Town.

The thickness of the black mist drops to a level visible to the naked eye, and even unawakened people without spiritual vision can see hundreds of yards away.

The once dilapidated town has now taken on a new look.

With the efforts of Wangcheng's professional production personnel, various facilities have been built one after another. Towers, warehouses, training grounds, medical clinics, meditation rooms, rest areas, fortifications, and even fire protection sacrificial grounds have been established.

There was no guardian fire in Xinghuan Town, only a few embers were lit.

But the intense fire still illuminated every corner of the town, and dispersed the black mist two thousand yards away.

Now, this station at the forefront really looks like a station.

The combat forces from the top of Trorian are all gathered in the town hall in the center of Xinghuan Town at this moment.

Everything is ready, they are waiting for the order to attack Starry Sky City.

Everyone was extremely excited, and restless spirits danced in their bodies, especially the unawakened and the black spirit bearers. They tried their best to suppress their strength and control their anxious emotions.

All eyes were on a room deep in the hall.

Rovia, the Son of Fire, Archbishop Horus, High Priest Megan, and nineteen guardians were all there, discussing the final subordinates for the decisive battle.

Rhodes is naturally among them.

However, he knew that they were not discussing how to fight, but were waiting.

Waiting for the "final weapon" from Wangcheng.

Uneasiness and anxiety filled the air, and Rovia, the Son of Fire, and Archbishop Horus had been lying on the fog plate to study the details of the battle.

Liszt, the head of the investigation legion, reported over and over again the information they had inside Starry Sky City.

And they have heard this information dozens of times, and the subordinates in the battle have been perfected to the limit, and even the dolls can't find faults.

But the stakes are so high that everyone wants to be as perfect as possible.

"Hey, Brother Rhodes, do you think we can win this time?"

This is the No. 13 inquiry of Taro the Great Sword.

Rhodes didn't expect this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to be so nervous.

"Of course I can win, I already have such a hunch in my intuition."

This is the same answer from Rod No. 13 times.

Taylor looked very satisfied. Here, "Rhode's intuition" is very trustworthy.

"You said, what will be the final weapon of the king's city?"

This is a new topic.

Rhodes was also curious, but Rovia and Horus were very strict and said nothing.

"I have no idea."

Taylor said loudly: "I guess it might be some kind of super weapon. It is said that in the ancient era of Gods, the artifacts used by those gods had the power to destroy the world. Maybe we found such a real weapon in a certain ruins. Artifact."

This topic attracted the attention of many people, and Guardian Feixue came over. Before Rhodes, she was one of the people who had the title of the most dazzling new star.

But after Rhodes completed the Goddess Tears plan, this title became his, and there was no one.

However, only in terms of hard power, she is still the strongest among the new stars, even surpassing some veteran guardians.

"A real artifact?"

She asked curiously, her soft and pretty face was full of doubts.

"Isn't what we made a real artifact? I heard that the Engineering Institute has completed several artifact projects."

Taylor replied seriously: "Strictly speaking, what we make is not a divine weapon, not even a semi-sacred weapon, but a quasi-sacred weapon. The only real divine weapon Trorian possesses is the White Tower. Man-made artifacts, or broken demi-artifacts."

Feixue sticks out her tongue. Judging from her appearance, she is completely a little girl, but being able to become a guardian and having the title of the most dazzling new star is enough to prove her strength.

"But I don't think it's an artifact."

"A weapon, no matter how powerful it is, cannot help us win the battle."

Jessica on the side smiled and said, "Feixue is right, I think it might be some kind of rare potion that can increase our strength."

Gale from Cloud Village came over and said in a cold and arrogant tone: "You are all wrong. I think it is some kind of powerful biological weapon, just like Anne in Brittany."

The blond girl not far away turned her head.

"Huh? Who is calling me?"

She is the only one who is not a guardian but a first-level combat power in the inner hall. Rhodes once met her in the Temple of Fire. It is said that she is the only successful experimental combat power of Kalil's hidden troops. The dual-sequence owner of the One and the Seven Unawakened.

Her strength is very strong. In the battlefield outside the starry sky city, she has created many amazing records and killed many very powerful monsters.

However, although she is strong, she seems to be a little socially afraid. The people she doesn't know make her very nervous, but she quickly saw Rhodes, and immediately rushed forward in three steps and two steps.

"Lord Rhodes! It's you! We meet again!"

"It's a pity. I once said that we fought side by side together. It's a pity that I didn't arrive until the second batch of support. I looked for you everywhere, but I heard that you went back to the king's city. Why did you go back to the king's city? Is it because you don't have enough strength? Don't worry, with me here, you can hide behind me, no monster can hurt you."

Like last time, he didn't say a word, and the blond girl crackled for a long time.

Is this social terror?

Obviously a socially phobic person, right?

Before Rhodes could think of how to reply, the High Priest Megan appeared behind her and shouted sharply, "Come down, Annie."

Anne let go of Rhodes aggrievedly, stood beside Megan, and whispered, "Father, I just want to talk to my friends."

Megan sternly shouted: "Go back! Have you finished your preparations? Have you drunk your stabilizer and fusion agent? Do you still want to become the real king and save the world?"

Rhodes glared at the old man.

"Speak well to me."

Megan glanced at Rhodes, and said lightly: "Lord Rhodes, I'm sorry, Anne still has some flaws, she is not fully ready, but I believe that when she is fully ready, you will marvel at her amazing strength, and switched sides to support my line."

Rhodes didn't want to argue with him about his Kalil route at this time, so he just replied flatly: "I see, I will consider it."

It was just a polite remark, but Megan looked very satisfied, and bowed politely: "You will not be disappointed, Your Excellency Rhodes."

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The final weapon is here!"

With a bang, the door of the inner hall was opened, and everyone's eyes turned in an instant.

I saw a man and two women standing at the door, both wearing guardian robes, with the triple flame symbol on the neckline burning.

The man among them was about thirty years old, with greasy hair and a conspicuous big aquiline nose. It was Jon whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The young woman beside him was tall and tall, with delicate features, eyes like sparkling crystals, and long black hair that was soft and natural, she was the candidate for the king, Qingyu.

The last one is not tall, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with big eyes, flowing water, delicate features, like a doll, is Xing Ge, the candidate for the king.

They all have the so-called most powerful characteristic "Eternal Burning Fire", which can resonate with fire and gain the power of fire.

Only those who have this characteristic can become the king of Trorian.

And Rhodes knew even more that they were called the "chosen people of fire" in the dream.

Wang Cheng sent all three candidates for the king at one time, and really attached great importance to this battle, but for some reason, Rhodes felt a little disappointed deep in his heart.

But the next moment, Horus denied it: "No, they are not the ultimate weapon."

Jon smiled and said: "Everyone, don't be nervous, we are just like you, just here to participate in the battle."

Qingyu nodded: "We will open up the field of fire and provide you with the best combat environment."

Xingge said childishly: "During Hanukkah, our power will increase exponentially, and in the realm of fire, your strength will also increase exponentially, while monsters will be weakened exponentially."

The guardian Churchel laughed heartily: "That's right, our winning rate has increased again. I simply don't know any monsters that can beat us."

"Be careful, Churchill."

Liszt, the head of the investigative legion, said.

"The information collected on the outer battlefield shows that the strength of the Starry Kingdom is far beyond our imagination. As the royal city of the Starry Kingdom, the Tasnian Star City has been silent in the black mist for thousands of years, and the strength of the fallen and monsters wandering in the city , is unimaginable to you.”

Horus said seriously: "Yes, so our tactic is to cut in from the side of Starry Sky City, occupy the southeast area, open up the Avenue of Stars in the shortest time, and enter the Starry Palace. The lowest level."

"We don't touch other areas, especially the Star Plaza."

Lister said: "Our operation this time is more like an assassination, the assassination of the Queen of Stars, an all-out war is impossible, infiltrating, cutting, assassinating, and eliminating one by one are our operational benchmarks."

"As long as we kill the Queen of Stars and seize the Seed of the Holy Fire, our mission is completed, and we don't need to confront the entire Starry Sky City."

"That's right." Rhode said confidently, "We've already won."

He is one of the makers of the battle plan, and when making the plan, he has already counted all his own cards.

This battle, in his opinion, is almost sure.

The only problem is the final battle of the Starry Queen.

He couldn't imagine what kind of strength the queen who devoured the seed of the holy fire would have after being silent for a thousand years.

How to deal with her?

While Rhodes was thinking, someone shouted again: "The final weapon is here!"

Rhodes turned his head to look, and it turned out to be Mephis, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

She said blankly, "I pledge to fight on behalf of Silver." Then she walked behind Rhodes.

Horus shook his head: "She is not the ultimate weapon."

In the ensuing period of time, several similar false alarms appeared, all of which were preconceived impressions of overexcited personnel.

Seeing that the morning time was about to pass, and the "final weapon" hadn't come yet, Rhodes couldn't help complaining: "Why is it so slow..."

At this time, there was another shout from outside the door: "The final weapon is here!"

boom.

The door was pushed open.

Rhodes looked lazily, and saw another man, two women and three standing at the door.

The man was burly, wearing a bulky armor and carrying a bulky sledgehammer on his back.

But when Rhodes saw the woman beside him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he stood up suddenly.

It was a woman about two yards tall, with long dark blue hair, profound facial features, and a very three-dimensional beauty. She was wearing a blue knight armor, and there were faint blue water ripples on the armor.

And on the right side of the armor, there is a line of names that looks like moonlight.

Pure Radiance, Moonlight Knight Olivia.

— the owner of his collection of little movies.

I only read it yesterday to relieve my tension, and I know every detail of her body well.

But at this moment, her real person was standing in front of him, and the strong sense of oppression made him unable to breathe.

The burly man spoke, his voice was deep and thick, like thunder.

"Sorry, Horus, we're a little late."

Horus bowed slightly.

"Jeraba, Son of Fire, you came at the right time."

"Son of Fire?" Guardian Feixue jumped up with shock on his face: "You fat man is actually a Son of Fire?"

Horus shouted: "Flying snow!"

The burly man didn't care, and smiled gently: "Yes, my fat man is the Son of Fire. There are many new faces here. Let me introduce myself."

"I, Jalabah the Hammer King of Wine Country, one of the Seven Sons of Fire of Trorian, and Olivia the Moonlight Knight, Misha the King of Thunder and Lightning, come to join the battle with the ultimate weapon, the King's Heart."
