The Last Dark King

Latest website: Rhodes suddenly opened his eyes and saw a white ceiling with decorative copper lamps.

The silence oppressed the eardrums, and the dim light showed that it was still night time.

"Is this...a dream?"

Rhodes opened the quilt and found that his whole body was soaked, his heart was beating rapidly, and the sound of blood hit his eardrums.

"No, this is not a dream."

A strong sense of exhaustion and exhaustion came from the depths of the soul. No dream could be so real.

As soon as Rhodes thought, his soul rose into the sky and returned to the dreamland instantly.

The slightly gray mist flows slowly in the silence, and the quantified stars shine in the night sky. The "Dark Devourer" in the center shines brightly, like a red eye.

The building in the dreamland stands in the night and mist, unchanged as ever.

Everything was exactly the same as what he had seen before, except that there was no dense fog that obscured everything later. Rhodes could also sense the dream and could freely manipulate it and get feedback.

After Rhodes confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the dream, he took two steps towards the House of God and saw the tombstone.

When the cyan monument came into view, Rhodes' pupils shrank suddenly.

On the stone tablet, his name was burning like a fire, and the words Rod of Trolian were extremely dazzling.

The scratches above did not disappear as seen in the dream, but Hegeor's name appeared under the scratches. The font was gray and black, without any luster, as if he had been dead for a long time.

"Does this... mean that he is completely dead?"

Rhodes still felt horrified when he recalled the horrific corpse.

Hegeor was clearly dead, but he was still able to crawl out of the grave.

The sight of his tragic death made Rhodes, who was used to seeing horrific scenes, feel a little chilly.

"His wailing sound before his death said that this was a plan for thousands of years... Could it be that he wanted to use the corpse to bring back the soul?"

Rhodes frowned. From the deeds he learned, Hegeor was at least a heroic figure. Even when his dream was shattered and he was seriously injured, he was still trying his best to help the Kingdom of Stars.

Although there are factors to obtain divinity, it is difficult to imagine that he would do such a thing.

It didn't look like a person at all, more like a twisted monster.

Amon's voice is very soft!

A name suddenly came to Rhodes' mind.

The ferocious and twisted appearance indeed resembled ancient evil thoughts.

And didn't Hege Orr die under his conspiracy?

An idea suddenly appeared in Rhode's mind.

Could it be that when Amon killed Hegeor, he predicted that the dream would revive many years later, and therefore left some kind of back-up plan in his remnant soul?

Until the right time suddenly appeared, trying to replace my existence, thus completely extinguishing the hope of human recovery.

The more Rhodes thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

Hegeor's corpse attack was entirely spiritual, a confrontation within his soul.

Unable to borrow any power, he could only fight hand-to-hand with the invaders, and finally defeated the enemy with his will.

If he did not master the skills of hand-to-hand combat, if his will was not so strong, would his spirit collapse, be occupied by a dove, and change his soul?

"Yes, that's how it should be!"

Rhodes was certain of this fact.

"Fortunately, I remembered my lofty ideals and unyielding faith, and used my iron will to crush the enemy!"

"Hahaha, as expected of me."

Later, Rhodes carefully inspected the tombstone and unexpectedly found a large group of black ashes under the tombstone.

"Well, is this the remains of Amon?"

"Is he dead?"

Rhodes carefully collected the ashes and put them into the storage room of Dreamland.

This is a space with constant time, and the things stored in it will never deteriorate.

The most important thing is that Dreamland usually identifies the stored items and informs Rhodes of its detailed functions and related information.

Rhodes was not disappointed this time.

A line of pure white text appeared before his eyes.

"The crystallized ashes of pure evil"

No explanation, no description, just this lonely line.

Rhodes thought: "I can only wait for the Book of Knowledge to wake up, hoping that it will be of some use."

"I wonder if Amon is dead?"

Rhodes thought about it and came to the back of the tombstone. He was surprised to see words on the back of the tombstone.

It was a name written in navy blue letters.

The first one in line is Molly.

Then came Annabeth and Cassie.

There is only a little outline of Mavis's name on it, which is very inconspicuous.

There are also some smaller outlines that cannot be seen without looking carefully.

Rhodes understood instantly that this was the "apostle" of the dream!

To put it simply, they are clones of Rhodes. Everything they do is equivalent to being done by Rhodes, so they can obtain divinity.

But before, Rhodes was very sure that there was no one behind the tombstone.

"Destroy evil thoughts, can dream buildings gain new abilities?"

Rhodes felt unbelievable, but his mind always moved very quickly.

"No, that's not right. It may be that Hegeor's contaminated remnant soul interfered with these abilities and blocked them. After killing it, it was naturally unlocked."

The logical chain is very clear, and this is also the most likely guess.

Although there are still many unanswered questions, they are not important.

Rhodes touched these names lightly, and a cold touch came from his fingertips, allowing him to clearly feel the status of each Dream Apostle.

"Well, does it still have this function?"

"Hahaha, this will be much more convenient in the future!"

"I will step up my efforts to expand my team. If I can have more Dream Apostles, will I still encounter the problem of lack of divinity?"

"Hmm, I wonder if any functions have been unlocked?"

Rhodes walked around in the dream a few times, and regretfully found that except for the tombstone, there seemed to be no new changes.

While scratching his head, he suddenly heard someone calling him outside.

"Rod! Get up, Rod!"

As soon as Rhodes thought, he left the dream and returned to the bed.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the energetic Annabeth and Kashan standing pretty behind her.

"Get up quickly!"

Annabeth said, thrusting her hips.

"Time is running out! Sluggard!"

Rhodes glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past one o'clock in the morning.

It's not long until the time to gather.

Rhodes jumped up instantly, grabbed his robe and put it on.

"Walk!"

There was a flash of purple light, and an extremely strong man and horse covered in heavy armor galloped out.

"Hahaha! Rhodes, have you seen my new form?"

Annabelle's silvery laughter echoed in the training ground.

"My characteristic level has finally improved, I have reached level seven!"

"This is my new awakening state, I feel like I'm almost invincible!"

Rhodes jumped on the horse and dragged Cassian up: "Don't just brag, give it a try."

"good!"

Annabell stepped on the horse's hoof, her whole body shone with purple light, and a faint purple smoke surrounded her body. The centaur was like flying through the clouds, dragging Rhodes and Cassian, flying directly from the inner city to the outer city.

This speed made Rhodes stunned. Even now, he couldn't catch up with Annabeth.

What's more, Annabei is still a fourth-level combatant at the moment, and she can actually use psychic powers.

"I can fly!"

Annabeth smiled very happily.

"Rhode, Xingyuan is so amazing, can I still drink it?"

Rhodes smiled and said, "As long as I'm here, it's okay."

In front of her, Kashan hesitated to speak several times, but finally bit her lip and asked softly: "What about me?"

Rhodes touched her little head and said softly: "Of course, my eldest lady, how could you not?"

Kashan breathed a sigh of relief, but she quickly came to her senses and slapped Rhodes' hand away: "Don't touch your head! I can't grow taller!"

"Nonsense, my Cassian is so tall, why would she worry about height?"

Kashan's whole face turned red, but from her burning cheeks, Rhodes could read the anger. He wisely stopped teasing, sat on the horse honestly, and stopped moving.

The centaur soon arrived at the large square in front of the Holy Fire Sacrifice, where all high-level combatants who were about to set out gathered here.

The battle lineup dispatched this time was even more luxurious than the one during the battle of Star City.

Olivia, Alan, Rovia, Jelaba, Misha, Dark Moon Princess, Aleihan, seven special combatants.

Twenty guardians including Rhodes, Night Breeze, and Churchill, as well as more than 160 first-level combatants or similar first-level combatants, plus more than 300 second-level combatants and third-level combatants personnel.

This is the full strength of this expedition.

The reason why the Royal City can mobilize such a huge force is not only the peace of defense in various places and the stability of the stars, but also another important reason is that the new type of psychic cannon has been mass-produced.

This was developed by the great scholar Amides and his disciple Mina through the improvement of the knowledge gained in Star City.

It's no more powerful than the old psychic cannon and has half the range.

However, it costs only one-thirtieth of the old psychic cannon to make, and costs only one-tenth to fire, but does about the same amount of damage.

This means that by spending the same resources, the royal city can obtain a psychic cannon with at least ten times the firepower.

If it can be installed on a large scale in major strongholds, especially the castles and fortresses on the outermost layer of the defense circle, it can significantly reduce the number of high-level combatants.

Wang keenly discovered its significance and value, and ordered the Industrial Machinery Research Institute to study its mass production method against all objections.

Bald Master lives up to its mission and completes its mass production factory in an extremely sophisticated way.

When the mass production of new psychic cannons begins, the first to be installed are the castles and fortresses on the outermost layer of the defense circle.

Its effect did not disappoint. When hundreds of cannons fired a salvo, the psychic energy fluctuations were earth-shattering. Monsters below the powerful super level could not get close at all. Only monsters above the fourth level of super level could possibly break through the psychic cannon. Array.

But this has greatly reduced the pressure on defense, allowing Wangcheng to mobilize more forces to complete a battle.

Like it is now.

One floating carriage after another landed, and the combatants got on the carriage with cheers and flew towards the Fortress of Courage.

This is another important feature that makes Trorian stronger. Originally there were only a small number of long-range floating psychic carriages, but now there are dozens of times more.

However, with so many high-level combatants, the number of floating carriages is still not enough.

Archbishop Horus came out and shouted: "Part of the combatants, please prepare to walk."

There was a sigh among the crowd. No one was willing to walk long distances in the dark, which would consume both energy and physical strength.

Horus said in a deep voice: "Everyone, there is no way..."

At this moment, Rhodes suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, Archbishop, what is the difference?"

Horus was silent for a moment and replied: "About fifty people."

Rhodes smiled slightly: "No problem, Annabeth."

Annabeth immediately understood, soared into the air, held hands, and pulled up a large flatbed truck - it was parked in the corner and was used to transport supplies.

Rhodes jumped up and with a wave of his hand, Cassian and Mavis also jumped up.

"Fifty people, more than enough!"

There was a shocking cry from the crowd.

Horus looked up at the approaching floating carriage, with a look of shock on his withered face.

"Annabelle? She actually grew up?"

Horus' expression became complicated, but he still waved his hand.

"let's go."

Before he finished speaking, many people jumped on, and the flatbed truck was quickly filled.

"Set off!"

Rhodes shouted enthusiastically.

Annabei neighed, stepped on the void, and ran straight towards the Fortress of Courage.

——

The Fortress of Courage was the stronghold of this campaign, located in the southwest corner of the outermost layer of the Trorian defensive perimeter.

Walking further southwest is the Lake of Ashes and the Old Fort.

The goal of the Royal City is to clear and occupy these two areas, thereby occupying the super-large solar crystal veins behind.

At the battle meeting, the speaker became Olivia.

She talked eloquently and clearly analyzed the pros and cons of how to do everything.

Everyone looked serious and listened to her words quietly.

Although the force they dispatched this time was strong, it was still different from the battle of Star City.

The key goal of the Star City battle is to kill the Star Queen and regain the Holy Fire Seed. They don't need to clean up the entire city, they only need to kill specific monsters.

In this battle, they must completely clear the Lake of Ashes and the Old Fort to use them as new strongholds.

Combat missions are quite heavy.

But Rhodes was not worried at all. It was just a good time to practice his new combat skills and harvest souls at the same time.
