the last king of darkness

Chapter 546 War and Resources

Everyone attaches great importance to this news. An ancient existence called "Supreme Will" created ancient evil thoughts, and its purpose is obviously to completely destroy human beings in the long river of time.

Armando said in a deep voice: "This is obviously a secret of ancient times, which happened after the appearance of the black mist and before the first mass extinction."

The first mass extinction, Ragnarok, was a major event that occurred in the early Second Era.

In this incident, the powerful existence known as the ancient gods was completely wiped out, and even the remnant soul and body could not be found.

Because there are too few clues left, the academic circles in Wangcheng have been debating whether they really exist.

Archbishop Horus said: "I will forward this information to the Jinworth Society, and the response will help their research on the Age of Gods."

Rovia excitedly said: "Yes, Professor Binns and Professor Barrett have obtained a lot of new discoveries in Sagus City. Combining them may be able to reveal the ancient secrets for us and find the birthplace of the black mist. source."

Geraba hammered his chest and said excitedly: "Perhaps, this 'Supreme Will' is the source of all disasters. As long as we find it and kill it, the world will usher in light."

Although everyone knows that this is just a guess, but just a small possibility makes everyone's heart brighten, as if Hanukkah has come early.

Wang smiled and said: "We can make the search for the 'Supreme Will' one of the important goals of the King City, and the search for the other Fire King City, Dreadfort, kindling and firewood as a level."

The moonlight flashed in Olivia's eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "That's right, ancient evil thoughts are cancerous tumors of human beings. If we find them, we may be able to eradicate this hidden danger forever."

Many people's eyes lit up. For a long time, the doomsday cultists have always been the necrosis of human beings, a lingering nightmare. If the ancient evil thoughts can be completely eliminated, then the biggest unstable factor in human beings will be eliminated.

Horus said in a deep voice: "I will be responsible for this matter. I blamed him before... The doomsday cultists are difficult to get rid of. It's not that Lucian is incompetent, but that the ancient evil thoughts are too cunning."

Rhodes looked at Horus speechlessly, boss, is it okay for you to say that?Don't flag yourself up.

Horus misunderstood the meaning of Rhodes' eyes, and immediately added: "Rhodes, you are also one of the people in charge of this matter, let us work together to clean up the doomsday cultists from Trorian."

"That's right!"

Asa yelled wildly in his mind.

"They are all my food! No one is allowed to escape!"

Rhodes directly blocked Asa's observation authority, so that he would not see the scene where he chatted with the girl.

"I see, Your Excellency the Archbishop, I have a certain feeling with Amon, as long as he takes half a step out of the sewer, he will face the Great Devourer...uh, I will kill him!"

Horus nodded in satisfaction. Rhodes was simply the killer of the Doomsday Cultists. Countless Doomsday Cultists had been eliminated by him. With his help, the number of traitors in the royal city had been greatly reduced, and the voice was unprecedentedly unified.

He now dismissed Rovia's theory from contempt to limited trust, at least he believed in the part about Rhodes.

He must be the angel sent by the will of the fire to save us.

Horus thought.

Every rising star is.

The Trorian stars will shine, and the fire will revive.

Not only him, but many people also thought the same way. Olivia's unexpected kingship strengthened this belief even more.

The pain of the past is gradually healing.

The never-before-seen improvement happened in Wangcheng.

If their Archbishop Horus goes one step further, the Royal City will have the first Commander with the characteristic of "Bright Light". Its most significant significance is that the medical ability of the Royal City will rise to a higher level. May be able to get treatment.

If Kai does come out of the coffin, Trorian will have another trump card.

Before they knew it, everyone's eyes were focused on the wax figures of Horus and Kai. The current glory was something they could never have imagined a few years ago.

And the source of all these changes came from the second month of 1325, when Rhodes passed the trial of fire.

Perhaps, humanity has really bottomed out.

Wang looked up at the burning holy fire.

Yes, we will usher in a major change that Trorian did not have in 2000.

I must seize this turning point and bring mankind to a new height!

-

-

The range to the south of Trorian has not changed for many years, and the outermost layer of the defense circle is still the four huge cores of Fortress of Courage, Castle of Storms, Castle of Victory, and Keep of Crows.

It's facing west
It has expanded a lot, and the farthest reaches the storm pass, and the straight-line distance from the royal city exceeds 900 thousand yards, and the area of ​​the defensive circle has greatly expanded.

However, in the new area, there are not many high-quality ore veins, and many mines have been excavated by Trorian hundreds of years ago.

But the living space is much larger, which greatly eases the population pressure on Trorian.

Especially Wangcheng's.

For a large-scale human settlement, the most important thing is to have a water source. There must be a river or groundwater passing through. Otherwise, not only the water for living will become a problem, but also the pollution will accumulate, and monsters will be born.

The second most important thing is to have fertile soil, so that it is convenient for the Holy White Tree to settle down, and it is also convenient for farming and animal husbandry. The Priests of Life are responsible for such matters.

The third most important thing is to have mineral vein resources, otherwise it would be meaningless to gather a large number of people. Wangcheng has already realized large-scale workshops, such as Sigway Food Factory, Seamans Factory, and Byron Alchemy Pharmaceutical Factory. production.

There are even bigger smelting and forging cities like Iron Furnace City, and small workshops can only play a supplementary role.

Therefore, the key to establishing a new stronghold outside the royal city is whether there are mineral resources, rare spiritual soil, or large fertile fields nearby.

Among the newly built strongholds, there are not particularly many mineral resources, and they are mainly strongholds for planting spiritual herbs or food.

And the storm pass guarding the junction of the two continents.

It is impossible to go further west. Two powerful king-level monsters on the Land of Despair have restricted the development of Trorian. The Night King, if it wasn't for the sudden disappearance of the Ghost King in the castle, they would face three king-level monsters westward.

The same is true for the south. After crossing the black forest, there is the Swamp of Despair. There is an ancient evil thing entrenched here. It is the crystallization of evil, a condensed body of terror. It has been silent in the black mist for thousands of years, and has mutated into a powerful black mist. The symbiote, throughout the swamp, has its derivatives.

On the bank of the Swamp of Despair, there is also a forest of dead trees. There are unusual horrors gathered here. This mutated monster is very difficult to deal with. What's more troublesome is that a powerful king of horrors is entrenched here. They are all shrouded in a huge black cloud, which is essentially a special kind of spiritual energy field, which can provide powerful spiritual energy for all its disciples and grandchildren.

With its blessing, the Terror is simply invincible.

Not only that, but to the south there are strange ghosts in the dead underground, countless corrupted ancient dragons in the dragon tomb, and corrupted giants in the tower of giants farther away.

These areas are extremely dangerous and have huge uncertainties. Even if Trorian gathers all his strength to attack, it may unknowingly attract monsters farther away, thus triggering a disaster.

Therefore, Wangcheng insisted on waiting for the completion of the prophecy of the source before expanding.

The north of Wangcheng is the Great Dark Plain, and the east is the branch of the Ember Mountains. It is best not to change these two directions, otherwise the manpower and material resources consumed will skyrocket, and even if a piece of territory is conquered, it will be difficult to hold it.

So, the only direction is southwest.

Also outside the Fortress of Courage, after crossing a piece of wasteland, there is the Lake of Ashes and the Old Fort, where there is only one king-level monster—the King of Ancient Dragons. One of the existences known as kings.

However, after the fall, most of its remnant body was damaged, and its strength was not as good as before. It was the only soft persimmon that could be squeezed.

More importantly, after capturing Ash Lake and Old Fort.

They will be able to gain a firm foothold, and then obtain that super-large solar crystal vein.

However, to say that the King of Gulong is a soft persimmon is only compared to other king-level monsters. Although his body is damaged, he is a powerful king-level monster after all. If Wangcheng wants to deal with it, he must make sufficient preparations.

The battle of killing king-level monsters is called "the battle of killing kings".

Wangcheng has not prepared for such a battle for a long time. Therefore, when the king's order was issued, everyone fell into unprecedented enthusiasm and worked desperately, just for the first time in decades. went well.

This is really an unprecedented good opportunity, Trorian is such a huge territory, but it has never had such a peaceful moment, and the astrology has never been more stable.

The astrology forecast provided by the White Tower shows that such astrology will not change in the next two to three weeks.

It is precisely because of this that so many high-level combat forces can gather in the royal city.

For the first time, the Palace of Fire, located above the royal city, seemed empty and deserted.

For the first time, the castles, fortresses, and towers outside the defensive circle became so peaceful.

The five outer cities of Trorian are no longer in constant battle.

For the first time, Changlin, the first defense, discovered that he could mobilize so much combat power, it was like a miracle!
The feeling of being able to freely mobilize combat power is simply not very good.

The cheers from the War Department lasted for a whole day without ending. It was often that the east side fell and the west side rose again.

How great would it be if we could do this every day?
This is the dream that reverberates in everyone's heart.

Only Dalin is keenly aware that in order to achieve this, the stronghold of the outer defense circle must have stronger combat power, such as...

Psionic Cannon!

If there were enough new-type psionic cannons in each castle, at least two-thirds of the defense pressure would be reduced.

The only problem is, resources!
The Psionic Cannon is a static defense, which is powerful but consumes more resources.

Now, human resources are not enough, so how can there be many to manufacture new types of psionic cannons?
Dalin fell into deep thought for a long time.

On this day, after leaving the sacred fire sacrificial field, Rhodes dealt with many chores.

The life priests came to ask him for the soul residue again. They told him that the food intake of the holy white tree had increased again, and the existing stock was no longer enough.

Rhodes directly gave [-] copies.

The life priests laughed so hard that their faces were crooked, and hurriedly left with their soul residues in their hands.

Later, the apprentice of the soul forging master specially gave him a list of materials, claiming that the soul master had completed his soul weapon design, and asked him to provide materials according to this standard.

Rhodes took the list and came to the Temple of Fire. He has accumulated countless honors here, which can just be exchanged for a wave.

Many of the above materials are very rare, and some of them are not even in stock in the royal city.

Rhodes exchanged the materials and gave them to the apprentice of the soul forging master, but the rest was lost.

I can only keep them in mind and see if there is a chance to meet them in the future.

Afterwards, Rhodes returned to the dreamland to clean up his items. How could he not prepare well before such an important battle?
After finishing everything, the sky also turned dark, the light of the fire was slightly dimmed, and the sky was slightly oppressive.

Rhodes finally stepped out of the compound and walked towards Olivia's mansion.
