The Last Dark King

Latest website: Sure enough, this sentence was recognized by most elders.

The King's Guard has always been the elite among the elite. They not only shoulder the important task of guarding the King's District, but in many cases, they also lead the team to hunt monsters and deal with threats.

It is obviously very inappropriate to let a newly promoted combatant become the Hand of the King.

Even if you use your privileges to achieve your goals, it will be difficult to carry out future work without the approval of the Supreme Council.

So, there is only one option for this question.

Wang said in a deep voice: "Then let's do the battle rating."

Combat rating is the most important assessment in Trorian. It is designed to fully understand the actual abilities of combatants so as to maximize combat effectiveness.

According to Trorian's system, combatants were divided into nine classes.

Level nine is the weakest, and most of the Jinworth students who have just graduated are at this level.

The strongest at the first level are those who are directly named in the military war department. One person can equal a group.

Combat level is not only related to combat effectiveness, but also directly related to status and salary. Many positions also have minimum combat level requirements, and low-level combatants are not qualified to hold them.

However, combat rating will consume resources, and the higher the combat rating, the more so.

Therefore, in addition to the standard ratings that must be taken upon graduation, intermediate and advanced combat ratings are not allowed to be performed frequently. In addition to an interval of more than two years, actual performance endorsement is required before applications are allowed.

The fifth-level combatant is already very close to the high-level combatant, and its rating is not a simple matter.

Archbishop Horus said anxiously: "King, little Rhodes has only been a fire bearer for less than half a year, why..."

Wang smiled and said: "That's it. This is the system rule of the royal city. With Little Rhodes' past performance, it is enough to meet the application standards."

Manolo Bana said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the fifth level combat rating will consume a lot of resources. I think Rhodes's chance of success is very slim and there is no need to proceed."

An elder also said: "We are about to enter a period of large-scale renovation. The peak of ratings has arrived. The Sealand Military Combat Base is very busy, and the number of intermediate and high-level ratings is very tight. If our little hero is not sure, I also think there is no need to proceed. Of course, in order to make up for his loss, I can marry my granddaughter to him..."

"Ahem, cough, cough." Horus interrupted him with a series of coughs.

He sighed softly and said: "I think it can be like this. If he fails, let him pay for the combat rating at his own expense."

This proposal was approved by the elders, and the finances of the royal city were also very tight, especially when the king did not allow the printing and issuance of more silver cords. Self-financing was the word that the elders liked to hear the most recently.

The matter was settled like this.

The Zealand Military Combat Base will use thirty days to prepare a fifth-level combat rating for Rhodes.

During this rating, Rhodes will be allowed to use all means, including but not limited to his commonly used firearms, weapons, and items, he can take potions approved by the rating committee, and he can use his own creations on a limited basis.

The rating committee gave him enough fighting space, specially captured monsters corresponding to the challenge level, and set up the most professional and comprehensive test for him. At the same time, more advanced combatants will be present to ensure that he will not be affected by the rating. Danger to life.

In the end, the rating committee gave a score according to the rules. As long as it exceeded the standard line, Rhodes would jump from a new ninth-level combatant to a fifth-level combatant with half a foot on the threshold of a big boss.

Of course, most people didn't believe he could succeed.

The Wangcheng Resources and Finance Department is already gearing up to collect the money.

A fifth-level combat rating would cost fifty thousand silver cords at least.

This is not a small amount. The director, who was worried about the shortfall in his bank account, smiled broadly and even considered extending this special case.

In this case, he no longer has to worry about the silver rope.

After the discussion, Rhodes was called to the Holy Fire Sacrifice alone.

Archbishop Horus said with a sad face: "Little Rhodes, it seems that we can't directly appoint you as the Hand of the King. You have to undergo a combat rating. You may not have the confidence..."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Your Majesty the Archbishop, I am very confident."

Horus sighed softly: "Little Rhodes, there is no need to comfort us..."

"No, Your Majesty the Archbishop, I am really confident, please believe me."

Horus looked at him slightly doubtfully, then glanced at the calm king, and said hesitantly: "Really?"

Rhodes nodded vigorously: "Really."

Horus was filled with doubts.

There is no precedent for ninth-level combatants to jump straight to fifth level, but those are characters with the [Super] and [Absolute] marks. They have long had super psychic powers and similar records. Before the test, Wangcheng had already The result was foreseen.

Rhodes was mediocre when he entered the academy. Although he performed well after that, his combat ability was not very strong, and his psychic ability was especially weak.

According to Trolian's standards, the psychic strength of fifth-level combatants is generally around 160 thousand ticks, but Rhodes's is less than one-fifth, making it almost impossible to succeed.

However, he gained the absolute trust and final trust of His Excellency Theodore.

Lord Theodore's wisdom is beyond my measure.

Horus thought, maybe he saw a future that I didn't.

With this thought, the doubts in Horus's heart dissipated.

Rhodes also looked confident.

After he listened to the detailed rules of combat rating, he knew that he would never get an ultra-low score like he did in the test at the hidden base.

Without prohibiting any means, Heragetos, the ancient god of the River of Eternal Death, fled in front of me. Isn’t it easy to pass a rating?

Especially after seeing the items in the stone platform, Rhodes became more confident.

The super trump card he obtained in the battle in the third theater has not been used until now.

In addition to powerful items such as [Flesh Puppet], [Flesh Armor] and [Soul Defense], there are also killer items such as [Kales Synchronic Heavy Cannon] and [Herald of Destruction].

The time was so tight at that time, one incident followed another, and he had no time to produce.

However, he does not necessarily need to use these destructive items. Maybe he will end the rating with one [Psychic Sextet] or one [Soul Crit].

Of course, everything needs to be ready to avoid tipping over.

He must be prepared to face the challenge.

Wang obviously had the same idea as him. He said gently: "Little Rhodes, please return to the hidden branch during this period. Your combat skills are still very weak and you need more training. Sauron will help you." Arrange everything.”

Rhodes was surprised: "Do I want to go back to the secret branch?"

"Of course, even if you become the Hand of the King, your identity as a member of the secret branch will not be lost. You are still a member of the secret branch."

Rhodes scratched his head: "Why? Is it necessary?"

Wang said gently: "Yes, little Rhodes, taking office in Fanxing Town is far more difficult than you think. The Supreme Council does not approve of my further expansion plan. There are many voices of opposition, but it is only based on my previous prestige and The king’s position reluctantly agreed.”

"But they will not actively implement it and there will be a lot of constraints."

"So, when you encounter difficulties in Fanxing Town, you won't get much help, so you have to rely on yourself."

"You need to find more partners. These thirty days are not only the time for you to adjust and prepare, but also the time for you to develop contacts and build a team. Retaining the identity of a secret branch member also helps with this. You can understand what I mean. ?"

As a person with experience far beyond his years, Rhodes understood Wang's words instantly and replied cautiously: "I understand."

"That's good."

The king smiled slightly, and the holy fire that reached the sky burned behind him, giving his smile a touch of gold.

"Little Rod, do you know?"

"Not only First Elder Armando, but even I, Horus, don't believe that you can pass the rating. No one within us believes that you can bear this burden. You only left because of Theodore's soul entrustment. Come this far.”

"So, I sincerely hope that you can exceed our expectations and slap us in the face with irrefutable facts, slap in the face of all those who don't believe you, doubt you, and deny you."

For a moment, Rhodes felt his blood rush to the top of his head.

He said in a decisive voice: "I will, please believe me."

"It's a deal."

The king held out his hand.

"It's a deal."

Rhodes also extended his hand.

In this way, under the background of the holy fire reaching the sky, and under the witness of Archbishop Horus, the two people held their hands tightly together.
