the last king of darkness

Chapter 603 The Beginning of the Great Change

Rhodes took a deep breath, raised his voice and said: "After I established contact with the spiritual core of the Star Marrow Altar, all the functions of the altar have been unfolded to me."

"The curtain of the high-ranking force produced by the Star Marrow Altar can exceed 2000 thousand yards when it is fully unfolded."

"That is to say, it can create a Great Wall of Black Mist up to 2000 thousand yards, and the black fog in the Great Wall is at least at the level of the second generation."

Horus frowned and said, "What's the use of this? Is it attracting monsters?"

Rhodes asked back: "Why did the monster attack us?"

Horus looked at Rhodes with puzzled eyes. In his understanding, monsters would naturally attack Trorian. This is just like why people eat and shit. It's a matter of course. Questions that don't need to be answered.

But the scholar Amides gave a standard academic answer.

"Monsters are extremely disgusted with the breath of living beings. They have hatred from the soul for all warm flesh and blood. They have the instinct to destroy fire and all existences with the breath of fire."

"It is the fundamental element that is rooted deep in the soul of all darkness."

Barrett, a history professor who had just been promoted to University Scholar, offered a further explanation.

"The monsters that attack Trorian can be roughly divided into three types."

"The first type is the aimless wanderer, who smelled the holy fire after approaching Trorian's territory, and thus launched an attack on us."

"The second type is affected by the internal disturbance of the dark world, and the monsters that migrate, the most typical one is the Kuroshio."

"The third type is the most important one. The existence of the holy fire disturbs the dark world all the time. The monsters that attack Trorian are affected by this disturbance. This is the source feedback of the black mist, which is uncontrollable. , may attract us unimaginable powerful monsters, or terrifying monster tides."

"Like the catastrophe 25 years ago, like the three mass extinctions in Trorian history."

Binns, a history professor who has just been promoted to a university, added: "In addition to the sacred flame, touching taboos will also bring unspeakable dangers. Therefore, there are many prohibitions in Trorian. This is a lesson in blood."

One of them is not to call the king by his name too much.

Rhodes said in a deep voice: "No matter which one it is, the root cause of the attack is the hatred of fire and light, and the hatred of low-entropy bodies."

He took a deep breath and said the first important sentence.

"We all know that the spiritual veil is the highest level of protection, which can prevent all spiritual disturbances. If it is raised at the border, it can isolate the breath of the holy fire."

Horus' face suddenly wrinkled.

"Rods, this is not feasible. Let me tell you clearly that some people tried to do this hundreds of years ago, but the disturbance of the holy fire to the dark world is inherent, and it is impossible to be isolated. It can only block the holy fire." Radiating out breath influence."

"Whether it is the second or third type of monster, it will pass through the curtain of spirit."

Rhodes smiled slightly.

"But this is a different spiritual curtain. It uses the power of the stars to enhance the status of the spiritual curtain."

"As we all know, potential is the level of the spirit. The higher the potential, the higher the level of the spirit. Monsters will instinctively be unwilling to enter areas with higher potential, just like us, when it is not necessary I'll go uphill on purpose."

Horus still wanted to speak, but Rhodes held out a hand to stop him.

"The most important thing is that the high-potential spiritual curtain will gather black mist to form the Great Wall of Black Mist."

"As I said, the characteristic of the Great Wall of Black Fog is that the black fog on both sides of the Great Wall is extremely light, and the black fog inside the Great Wall is extremely thick. Monsters are extremely unadapted to this change. The book... er, through my research, as long as Further exacerbate the gap, and they will instinctively take a detour unless there is no way out."

"Look."

Rhodes came to a square table in the holy fire sacrificial field, on which was an extremely detailed map of Trorian.

"This is Trorian."

"To the north of us is the Dead Ember Mountains. On the Dead Ember Mountains is the Great Wall of the North. It is responsible for resisting attacks from the dark plain, and the Royal City is in the middle of the Great Wall of the North."

"Our east is an extension of the Ember Mountains, guarded by part of the Northern Great Wall, Crow Fortress, and Castle of Storms."

"Our south and west are long defensive circles, consisting of thousands of strongholds, forts, fortresses, and castles."

"That's our defense system."

"And as we expand outward, the defense area will become larger and larger, and the defense pressure will become heavier and heavier."

"If we expand to the limit, put this altar on our southern or western border, raise the curtain of spirits, and form the Great Wall of Black Mist, then the monsters will either go east or west. line, it will condense into two strongholds."

"As long as we hold these two strongholds, we will hold Trorian's 2000-yard border!"

There was a moment of silence in the sacred fire sacrificial field.

Everyone was silently chewing on Rhodes' words, thinking about the possibility of this defense plan.

Gradually, everyone's eyes lit up.

But there are still many doubts, the biggest of which is.

"Is the Black Mist Great Wall reliable? Will there be many omissions?"

Rhodes smiled slightly: "It can be tested. According to my estimation, as long as the concentration in the Great Wall of Black Mist reaches the level of two expansions, there will be no monsters willing to cross the Great Wall. If the potential of the space outside the Great Wall of Black Mist is reduced, further Guidance, this probability can be considered infinitely close to [-]%."

This sentence shocked the sacred fire sacrificial field, and the scholars whispered to each other.

Horus was lost in thought.

Wang looked at Rhodes, and the fire flickered in his golden eyes.

Liszt scratched his little bald head and asked in surprise: "Why do you think so much?"

Rhodes smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, this is the Eternal Sanctuary realized by Adam Yarel."

Lister clearly remembered what the martyr wrote under his skull, but he never thought in this direction:

"What do you mean?"

"If an area is surrounded by the Great Wall of Black Mist, wouldn't this area become an eternal refuge from monster attacks?"

Liszt's eyes widened all of a sudden:
"Is this possible?"

Rhodes shook his head: "No, the book tells...cough, I mean, I read from the book that if a disturbed monster cannot approach the source of the disturbance for a long time, it will become more and more violent, and after reaching a certain critical point , they will forcibly cross the Great Wall of Black Mist."

"The disturbance of fire cannot be isolated, and the spread of black mist cannot be stopped. Without fire, one cannot survive, and the existence of fire will inevitably lead to attacks by monsters. This makes the Eternal Sanctuary a paradox that can never be completed."

Liszt suddenly became extremely disappointed.

"Damn it, is there no hope in this world?"

Rhodes said calmly: "Hope is us."

A scholar shouted: "The nonsense of the Survivor Sect is indeed a lie."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Although the Eternal Sanctuary cannot be completed, we can greatly reduce our defense pressure through the Great Wall of Black Mist. The long defense line will be replaced by the Great Wall of Black Mist."

"That's right!"

Horus said suddenly.

"This is an excellent defense method. We can build several extremely strong defensive fortresses, put in the most powerful guardian fire, fill the fortress with spiritual cannons, concentrate the most advantageous combat power, and annihilate the gathered coming monster."

Amides said: "In this way, all the disadvantages brought about by the long defense line will be eliminated, our defense pressure will be greatly reduced, and the damage caused by the Kuroshio more than a year ago will not be repeated."

He came to the map and swiped his fingers outward.

"In this case, our original expansion plan can be greatly extended until the Dragon City is included."

There was a chorus of exclamations in the holy fire sacrificial field.

Dragon City is an ancient city very far away from Trorian.

If the Great Dragon City can be obtained, the territory of Trorian will be more than ten times larger than before.

But it is safer than before, no monsters will penetrate the defensive circle and leak into Trorian's interior.

Everyone also suddenly discovered that if the border reaches Dalong City, they will also be protected by mountains.

Trorian suddenly had a huge geographical advantage, being surrounded by mountains.

Looking at the map, for a moment, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of security.

"but."

Amides continued.

"This is also a huge gamble. If the gate is broken, we will face a much more serious disaster than before. If there is an accident at the Star Marrow Altar, we will also expose our soft belly to the dark world."

Rhodes said: "I can guarantee that there will be no accidents at the Star Marrow Altar. This is the creation of the seven ancient gods who spent a lot of effort. It is the same artifact as the White Tower. As long as the spiritual supply is guaranteed, the spiritual curtain will never be destroyed." will fall."

Amides nodded slightly:

"The Spiritual Curtain is a fairly mature spiritual technology, and we can also manufacture it, but it doesn't have such a high potential."

Horus suddenly asked: "Did any monster pass through the wall of black mist in the ancient city?"

Liszt recalled: "Except for some special monsters, I don't seem to see any monsters shuttling through the black mist."

Rhodes added: "The concentration of the Great Wall of Black Mist is even higher."

Speaking of this step, everyone already believes that the Great Wall of Black Mist can isolate monsters.

The point now is, can Guankou withstand such a heavy pressure?

Wang asked Rhodes to explain the "Great Wall of Black Mist" in detail from beginning to end, and focused on explaining various points.

Everyone kept raising doubts, and Rhodes kept answering them.

Fortunately, he had already discussed in depth with the Book of Knowledge on the way, otherwise he would have been a bit overwhelmed.

Among them, Amides put forward another important argument, monsters will be born in the black mist, and the black mist that has condensed to the level of "second evolution" in the Great Wall of Black Mist will definitely give birth to powerful monsters. What to do with the monsters born?

Rhode's answer was that sentry towers could be built along the way behind the Great Wall, and a patrolling battle group could be formed to clean up regularly from the outside. Its level of vigilance was equivalent to Trorian's safety zone, the Red Earth Plain.

It can also play a certain role in actual combat training, and middle and low-level combatants can participate in the battle here.

In the end, there was still only one question left—whether to focus on one or two fortresses for defense.

This is a huge change to the entire defense of Trorian. Once the decision is made, it will determine the course of history in the future!

One wrong step is a matter of life and death for the entire group.

All eyes were on the king.

No one else is qualified to make this decision except him.

The king's face was burning under the firelight, his golden eyes looked at the raging holy fire, and he said calmly.

"I decided to change Trorian's defense mode and replace the long defense line with the Great Wall of Black Mist."

After a moment of silence, cheers resounded through the holy fire sacrificial field again.

Of course, this is just a principled suggestion.

The specific plan still needs to be discussed in detail by the military and war department, and every detail must not be let go.

There must be no omissions in the test of the Star Marrow Altar.

This plan, named "Eternal Plan" by the king, borrowed the implication of eternal refuge, and hoped that this well-built defense could help Trorian survive the terrible catastrophe.

This is the end of the discussion on the Star Marrow Altar.

The premise of its use also requires Trorian to complete the expansion.

For now, the battle situation is not particularly ideal.

After Iyeta took over the position of teacher and became the Lord of the White Tower, many disasters were predicted successively, and the astrology became unstable, and bad weather often appeared, much more frequently than before.

However, Wangcheng's combat power has also been greatly improved, and the shortage of supplies is still the most urgent problem in Wangcheng.

The supplies that Rhodes brought back have temporarily alleviated the problem, but they cannot solve the root cause.

According to the standards of the age of fire, the supplies they lack are simply astronomical.

Many people have thought more than once, if there are other Fire King Cities in the dark world, and if they can get the help of other Fire King Cities, will all these problems be solved?

Finding the new King of Fire City is the greatest help in dealing with disasters.

After the "eternal plan" was determined, everyone began to discuss the issue they were most concerned about.

Liszt took out the flag and handed it to the three great scholars.

"According to our understanding, St. Rael is one of the five surviving cities of the Lord of Fire in the Dark Era. Their church is called the White Church, and this is their banner. Adam Yarel is a member of the White Church named Aurora members of the regiment."

"It was the wall of black mist that isolated the influence between us, so we and them have not found each other for 800 years."

"Now, the wall of black mist has been closed. I believe that as long as we continue to move forward, we will definitely find our compatriots who have also survived in this dark world."

"The strength of mankind lies in unity. I believe that if Trorian and Saint Rael can unite, no disaster can knock us down."
