The Last Dark King

Latest website: Black Tide, one of the many disasters that the Trorian Kingdom needs to face.

When it comes, endless monsters surge from the depths of darkness, like a black tide, impacting Trorian's defenses, bringing great pressure to humans.

The cause of its formation is unknown, and its research has always been one of the important topics in the Trorian Kingdom.

On the top of the Sword Pass Fortress, instructor An Ye was telling the students about the characteristics of the Black Tide and Trorian's traditional methods of dealing with it.

This was a rare opportunity. After Gangshou announced that the Jianguan Fortress was in combat readiness, all combatants took turns on duty in strict accordance with the assigned order to ensure that there were enough combatants on the city wall at sixteen hours a day.

An emergency response team and a support team are retained to respond to emergencies.

At this time, all the students on the city wall happened to be full, and An Ye also took the opportunity to start giving lectures, hoping that these budding novices could master more useful knowledge before the battle.

Rhodes looked into the distance while listening to the instructor's lesson.

Under the light of the guardian fire, the majestic sword pass gives people a very safe feeling.

The three hundred yards illuminated by the fire is like a protective shield, blocking out all dangers. Once something weird steps into the fire, it will ignite a raging fire until it turns into ashes.

This feeling is like that of primitive humans raising a bonfire to drive away wild beasts.

The only firelight was their home.

And this majestic fortress heightened this feeling.

It is one hundred yards long and ninety yards high, which is about the level of a fifteen-story high-rise building. The top wall can accommodate at least four carriages running in parallel, and there are three huge bed crossbows standing beside the wall.

On both sides are taller dead mountains, which is the only canyon.

Such an unbreakable fortress was actually at the end of the defense line. Rhodes suddenly felt that it was overqualified and should be at the forefront, facing the threats in the depths of darkness.

There are many students who have the same idea as Rhodes.

However, when they asked the instructor questions, Anye just smiled slightly.

"Jiangguan used to be the frontline of the kingdom. Every time the royal city launched a crusade against the depths of darkness, it would start from Jiangguan, just like a long sword unsheathed, so it is called Jiangguan."

The students were all astonished. Baywood asked in disbelief: "If Jianguan is at the forefront, then the inner defense circle has retreated behind the old city. How can our land be so small?"

"Yes." Caramon shouted: "With so many of us, wouldn't it mean that most of us would starve to death?"

An Ye showed a strange smile. This expression was very familiar to Rhodes. It was like this whenever his elders asked him about past events.

"Before the new king took office, our kingdom was only this big and there were not so many people. The argument that the fire was about to go out and that mankind was about to perish was very popular in the royal city, although many people firmly opposed this argument and even made laws to prohibit it. The fact that Trollian is weakened cannot be concealed.”

"Whenever the expeditionary legions set out from Jianguan, they were greeted not with blessings or encouragement, but with indifference and supercilious looks. They thought they were going to die, to anger the monsters in the depths of darkness, and to push humanity to the edge of extinction. ”

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

"At that time, people's biggest dream was to defend Jianguan, build more fortresses like Jianguan, seal humans away from the dangerous outside world, and enjoy the afterglow of the holy fire."

"At that time, who could have imagined that just twenty years after the new king took office, Jiangguan would become the end of the defense line. Thirty psychic generators were removed and twenty-nine were moved. The garrison commander of Jiangguan was in the legion. Even though we can’t even attend high-level meetings, newcomers like you can also reinforce Jianguan and defend Jianguan against powerful enemies together with the soldiers guarding Jianguan.”

There was silence on the city wall, and the students were dazzled by what they heard.

Although the instructors from Anye didn't say a word, they could imagine the torrent of years and such an epic victory.

"So are we now the most powerful period of the Trorian Kingdom?" a student asked excitedly.

An Ye shook his head seriously.

"No, the scope of control of the Kingdom of Trollian has changed over the years. According to the history we excavated and the ruins we inspected, Trollian was far more powerful than it is now. The School of Ash Excavators has proved that there is a The ruins of the fortress 1,700 miles away were built by the previous Trorian dynasty, but that dynasty was destroyed by an unknown cataclysm, and most of the historical data have been lost."

These words poured cold water on the students, extinguishing the newly ignited flame in their hearts to create a new era for mankind.

Today's Trorian seems to them to be very powerful, and its glorious history has cast a glow of victory on it, as if as long as it continues to move forward, mankind will achieve the final victory.

But if dynasties much more powerful than it were destroyed, what was the point of their efforts?

An Ye glanced at the gloomy-looking students, showed that strange smile again, and said quietly:

"The past is just history, the future is uncertain. Only the present is the gift given to us by fire."

"We will sum up the reasons for all our failures and follow the right path, step by step, towards the final victory."

"The lightning will eventually shake the world, and we will eventually gain everything we have lost."

The students' faces showed brilliance again. The difference from before was that this brilliance was no longer flashy and was much more stable.

An Ye smiled slightly and was about to say more when suddenly, he and Rhodes shouted almost at the same time: "Here we come!"

Rhodes glanced at him in surprise.

An Ye smiled calmly:

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I am also a fully psychic person, but little Rhodes seems to be slightly stronger than me."

His voice deepened.

"Caramon, notify the combat command room immediately and ask the emergency team and support team to prepare. Beorwood, Raistlin, and Annabeth, get on the crossbow and wait for my order. Everyone else, get in position according to the established tactics!"

The twelve people were immediately scattered on the broad city wall, looking very sparse.

The huge bed crossbow made a loud noise, adjusted its angle, and aimed at the wasteland of corpses outside the sword pass.

Rhodes was a little nervous. In his sight, in the darkness beyond the firelight, there was a huge black shadow moving quickly towards them.

It was as if the solidified spiritual energy was distributed on the surface of its soul like armor. Its soul waveform showed a strong oscillation that he had never seen before, and the words derived from the traces of its soul fluctuations were all messy.

The Eye of the Soul was unable to identify the monster. This was the first time Rhodes had seen this happen.

Suddenly, An Ye shouted: "High-energy reaction ahead! The seventh-level psychic waveform is a ferocious monster, and it is ready for battle at the first level!"

The next moment, the black shadow grew up, its spiritual energy boiling, and a strong black light shot out from its head, heading straight towards Rhodes who was staring at the messy lines on its soul on the city wall.
