The Last Dark King

Latest website: Since the source of the disaster was eliminated, the battlefield has gradually become normalized.

The psychic energy in the Starry Sky City area has calmed down and is no longer violent. Even the rushing psychic energy turbulence has disappeared. Non-first-level combatants can also enter this area.

A large number of logistics personnel and medical personnel came to Star Ring Town, bringing them ample supplies and logistical support. Master architects and defense masters began to further build this stronghold so that it could better perform the duties of the base.

However, combat missions are still limited to first-level combatants, and only a very small number of second-level combatants can participate in the battle.

The actions of the Survey Corps are no longer restricted. A large number of high-level investigators and elite investigation teams have stationed in Star Circle Town. They are uniformly dressed in gray-green clothing and wear conspicuous Survey Corps marks. They have gone through life and death in dangerous battlefields to guide them. Get the most accurate information.

The battle became more orderly. The monster's type, level, psychic strength, and whether it had a source were all clearly investigated. Horus combined various factors and dispatched personnel to clean up. The battle was orderly, and accidents rarely happened.

This is a good thing for everyone.

Only not to Rhodes.

His divinity has been reduced visibly to the naked eye. Although his performance in regular combat is still very dazzling, his importance is far lower than before, and the divinity he has obtained is naturally less.

What's worse is that due to the transparency of the battlefield, Rhodes can find that the place is full of divinity and exists in every battle, but he can only obtain a very small part of it.

There is nothing more painful than being so close and so far away.

As soon as he returned to Star Ring Town, Rhodes was extremely confused. He wished he could transform into thousands of people and harvest all the divinities at once, but this was impossible.

This kind of suffering is really unbearable.

To make matters worse, although neither Horus nor Rovia disclosed the specific battle situation to him, just looking at the red dots representing threats on the fog disk and the speed at which they were cleared, he knew that it would be impossible to clear them before Hanukkah.

This means that in the battle of Star City, they will inevitably fight with the danger of being attacked from both sides.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Rhodes' expectations for the battle in Star City were much higher than anyone else's.

What is the relationship between the mysterious and powerful Queen of Stars and the dream world? What will the queen's soul be like? How much divinity will be obtained by killing the queen? How much divinity will be obtained by assisting the Trorian humans to seize the seed of the holy fire? So... There are countless questions waiting for him to solve.

In addition, the Queen of Stars is the key to lighting up his next big star.

There is no doubt about the power of [Giant Power], but it is conceivable that the other big star [Truth] will not be any worse.

If he could possess two big stars, coupled with a huge amount of divinity, facing the invasion of the Soul-Eating King, his chances of victory would undoubtedly be much higher.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes in the battle of Star City.

However, Wangcheng has not made changes yet, and has such an attitude of continuing to fight.

Rhodes could only ask Horus.

After the return of Rovia, the Son of Fire, Horus could finally take a breath. He spent most of his energy on treating the wounded. The new technique proposed by Rhodes was so useful that he moved the soul surgery forward. A big step forward.

Every time Horus performed soul surgery, the Healing Order watched the whole process. The medical staff kept making sounds of exclamation and inhaling sounds one after another, no matter how many times.

The Healing Order under the Holy Church is the main medical force in the Royal City. The central healers are the highest-level medical practitioners in the Royal City. Most of them are students of Horus, and Horus allows them to visit for the purpose of teaching.

Such an exquisite technique will inevitably be promoted on a large scale in the royal city and save many people's lives.

Every central medical practitioner is very clear about the meaning it represents. When excited, some even cried bitterly for the souls they once wanted to save but could not.

Rhode's reputation instantly reached reverence among them, and everyone who saw him would take off their hats and salute him.

Things would have been perfect here, but it happened that there was an acquaintance of Rhodes among the central medical staff—Aunt User. At her suggestion, and with the consent of all the medical staff, this new technique of great significance was officially approved. named:

"Black Rice Bucket Technique"

This is to commemorate the immortal achievements of the great black bastard Lord Rhodes.

Rhodes had no time to care about it even though his balls hurt. Just like Alan said, when he becomes a human hero, he can change however he wants.

Of course, Rhodes still has a long way to go before he wants to become the legendary supreme "human hero", and the battle of Starry Sky City is the biggest obstacle on this road.

After Horus listened to Rhodes' words, sadness appeared on his deadwood-like face.

"Rhode, it's not that the Royal City doesn't want to completely eliminate the threat, but our combat power has been used to the extreme. We have entered the most reduced defensive state. We have given up a large area of ​​territory and can only provide so much combat power."

Rhodes asked: "What about the core legion? We used the core legion to attack Storm Pass, why not use it here? There are nearly 30,000 warriors in the resonance disk, which is an invincible force."

Horus shook his head slightly.

"Rhode, the core legion cannot be used easily. It is a needle that concentrates power at one point. It can pierce a solid point, but it cannot destroy enemies from all directions. Therefore, when we were in the Black Tide, we did not use the core at all. Legion.”

"Moreover, the disturbance of the resonance disk is too great, which may alarm the existence in Starry Sky City. If that happens, everything will be terrible."

Rhodes' heart sank, knowing that what Horus said was right, but he still asked unwillingly: "Is there no other way?"

Horus shook his head: "No."

"Aren't we seven sons of fire, four great knight captains, and eleven special combatants? Why is only one here?"

Horus' face darkened.

"Rhode, you have to know that Trolian is not just the Royal City. Our territory is very large, and we are subject to far more threats than you think. Every threat may destroy Trolian, Old Abyss The Demon King of Aries below, the Ancient Dragon King in the Ashes Lake, the King of Night on the land of eternal winter, and the King of Light on the red earth are all absolute threats of the highest level."

"The highest battle order in the Palace of Fire is to defend against absolute threats. The special battle order is specially established. It's just that you didn't know it before."

Rhodes was silent. In fact, he had already had similar speculations. Dalin and Wang had also vaguely told him before that the real constraints on Trolian's expansion were actually these existences called absolute threats.

They are active kings and may be disturbed by the holy fire at any time and launch a surprise attack on Trorian.

Only special combatants who are Herrschers can check and balance such threats.

This is absolutely impossible to mobilize, and special combatants will also have their tasks, but they are the highest secrets of the royal city, and even Rhodes does not have the authority to know.

This human kingdom, living in boundless darkness, seems stable, but in fact it has been dancing on the tip of a needle.

Every step Trolian takes is walking on a tightrope. No wonder the elders are so opposed to expansion. Human instinct is actually to seek stability. Without huge benefits, no one is willing to take an unstable risk. Life.

But Rhodes was still unwilling to give in, and asked: "Do we have no other combat power? The city defense legion, the conqueror legion, the knights... are there no strong men? Where is the assistance from the royal city?"

Horus's voice rose slightly, obviously angry.

"In addition to absolute threats, there are many equally dangerous threats. It is impossible for us to mobilize all our combat forces at all costs."

"I know how you feel. The Star City battlefield is indeed important, but our home is more important."

Horus' tone slowed down and he persuaded gently.

"What's more, we still have to prepare for the final battle of Star City, which is the most critical battle. If that battle fails, what's the point of cleaning up the outer battlefield no matter how clean it is?"

"Believe me, Rhodes, the situation is not that bad. Maybe the disturbance of the battle will not wake up those monsters, and we will not be defenseless."

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds and asked: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, how are we going to attack Star City?"

Horus said harmoniously: "Currently, we plan to attack the Starry Sky City with a gradually encroaching battle method. We will choose the best entry point, enter the palace via the shortest route, and finally enter the Holy Fire Sacrifice of the Kingdom of Stars to kill the stars. Queen, seize the Holy Fire Seed."

"Won't the cutting combat method attract the monsters in the city?" Rhodes asked. The Bell of Silence can only block general disturbances. In this level of battle, the effect of the Bell of Silence is very small.

Horus shook his head.

"No, the Survey Corps has already investigated it. The space where Star City is located is twisted and fractured, and the psychic energy fluctuations cannot travel very far inside."

Rhodes sighed: "Do we really have no reinforcements?"

"maybe."

Horus said.

"Wang and Dalin are doing their best to deploy. If we are lucky, reinforcements may arrive."

Rhodes remained silent.

Horus patted his shoulder lightly: "Little Rhodes, don't be too anxious. If you really want to help Wangcheng in this aspect, just invent a few new soul surgery techniques. The previous ones That technique saved many warriors and preserved a lot of combat power for us, no matter from which aspect..."

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across Rhode's mind, and he asked urgently: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, are there many retired combatants like elders in the royal city?"

Horus's words were interrupted, and he looked a little hesitant, but he still replied: "Yes, there are about one hundred thousand combatants who have retreated to the second line for various reasons, and most of them have been irreparably seriously injured. , severe pollution and corrosion, or soul decline due to age and other reasons.”

Rhodes asked: "Are there many high-level combatants among them? Level one, or something close to it."

Horus glanced at Rhodes and replied calmly.

"There are about two hundred people, and most of them are members of the elders, or some master or scholar in the royal city."

"Most of their combat effectiveness is far less than when they were strong. In fact, the group of elders has been actively participating in the war, but it has not been of much use. Wangcheng only uses them as a backup option."

Horus was reminding him that Wang Cheng had already thought of what he was thinking of.

But Rhodes just smiled.

"I have a solution."

Horus frowned: "What can we do?"

Rhodes took out a shiny Tear of the Goddess from his arms.

After killing the mastermind and obtaining a large harvest of starlight fragments, Rhodes created more than a hundred Tears of the Goddess in one go.

He gave part of it to Horus twice and gained a lot of divinity.

When Rhodes discovered that giving Horus no more divinity, he decisively refused, saying that he had none, which made Horus very depressed when he tried to get a Tear of the Goddess for experiments.

But he had no doubts. Unexpectedly, Rhodes took out a new one at this time.

Horus's deadwood-like face suddenly collapsed, as if he had been soaked in a cesspool for hundreds of years.

"Don't you have none?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "Your Majesty the Archbishop, this thing is very slow to make. I worked hard to make this one again."

Horus's face became more fragrant: "Then give it to me, I just have an idea..."

Rhodes coughed and interrupted him. Horus's experiment was meaningless. He could see it from his divinity. In fact, no one except Horus himself thought his experiment was promising.

"Your Excellency, Archbishop, you should know that the weakness of old souls is mostly due to the pollution and darkness that cannot be cleaned away deep in the soul."

Horus understood in an instant what he meant.

"You mean, you want the elders and the masters of the school to take the Tears of the Goddess and return to their youthful state?"

Rhodes nodded.

Horus looked uncertain and asked: "Are the Tears of the Goddess useful? Can it be used like this?"

Rhodes nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have used it like this before, and the originally depressed First Elder Armando shot wildly on the spot."

Horus scolded: "Rhodes, please be respectful in your wording. What is wild shooting?"

"It just keeps using its own unique abilities to launch attacks, continuously, and remains standing."

Horus was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Can I use it?"

Tears of the Goddess is a creation of Rhodes' soul, and all instructions for use are his, which is equivalent to official instructions.

Rhodes coughed: "Your soul is not too dirty and is in very good condition. Tears of the Goddess may be useless."

Horus looked a little disappointed, but also vaguely excited.

"Rhode, what do you want to do?"

Rhodes said: "I want to temporarily return to the Palace of Fire to organize the elders and masters of the school to return to the battlefield. At the same time, I also hope to obtain certain authority to facilitate command and deployment."

The authority to command the elders is not an ordinary authority, even the king has never had it.

"Okay, I will inform Wang and Dalin."

However, Horus decisively agreed, turned around, and picked up the psychic communication crystal on the table, which was the instant communication leading to the royal city.

"Go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news."

Rhodes flew out and rushed towards the undead passage.

Looking at his retreating back, Horus thought silently in his heart.

No matter what, believe him once.

Maybe a miracle will happen.
