The Last Dark King

Latest website: 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 were unfolded to me."

"The curtain of high-level power spirits generated by the Star Marrow Altar can exceed 2,000,000 yards when fully expanded."

"In other words, it can create a 2,000-yard-long Great Wall of black mist. The black mist in the Great Wall is at least the second level."

Horus frowned and said, "What's the use of this? To attract monsters?"

Rhodes asked: "Why do monsters attack us?"

Horus looked at Rhodes with a puzzled look. In his understanding, it is natural for monsters to attack Trollian. This is just like why people eat and poop. It is a matter of course. Questions that need no answer.

But the great scholar Amides gave a standard academic answer.

"Monsters are extremely disgusted with the breath of living creatures. 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."

"This is the fundamental element that lies deep in the soul of all darkness."

Barrett, a history professor who had just been promoted to university scholar, offered further explanation.

"There are roughly three types of monsters that attack Trolian."

"The first type is aimless wanderers. After approaching Trorian's territory, they smell the breath of the holy fire and launch an attack on us."

"The second type is the migration of monsters affected by internal disturbances in the dark world. The most typical one is the Kuroshio."

"The third type is an important one. The existence of the Holy Fire is disturbing the dark world all the time. Affected by this disturbance, the monsters that attack Trolian are the source feedback of the black mist. It is uncontrollable. , it may lead to unimaginable powerful monsters or a terrifying wave of monsters.”

"For example, the catastrophe 25 years ago, or the three mass extinctions in Trorian history."

Binns, another history professor who has just been promoted to university, added: "In addition to the sacred fire, touching taboos also brings unspeakable dangers, so there are many prohibitions in Trorian, which are lessons learned in blood."

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

Rhodes said solemnly: "No matter which one it is, the fundamental factor of the attack is the hatred of fire and light, and the hatred of low-entropy bodies."

He took a deep breath and said his first important words.

"We all know that the spiritual curtain is the highest level of protection. It can prohibit all spiritual disturbances. If it is raised at the border, it can block the breath of the holy fire."

Horus's face suddenly wrinkled.

"Rhode, this is not feasible. Let me tell you clearly that hundreds of years ago, some people tried to do this. However, the disturbance of the Holy Fire to the dark world is fundamental and cannot be isolated at all. The only way to block the Holy Fire is to block it. Radiate out the breath influence.”

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

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 a higher potential. Just like us, we don't want to enter areas with higher potential unless necessary. I will go uphill on purpose.”

Horus was about to speak, but Rhodes stretched out a hand to stop him.

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

"I said that the characteristic of the Great Wall of Black Mist is that the black mist on both sides of the Great Wall is extremely light, and the black mist in the Great Wall is extremely thick. Monsters are extremely unable to adapt to this change. The book... uh, through my research, as long as Further exacerbating this gap, they will instinctively detour unless there is no other way out.”

"look."

Rhodes came to a square table in the Holy Fire Sacrifice. On the table was an extremely detailed map of Trolian.

"This is Trorian."

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

"To our east is the extension of the Dead Ember Mountains, guarded by part of the Northern Great Wall, Crow Fortress, and Storm Castle."

"To our south and west is a long defensive circle, composed of thousands of strongholds, fortresses, fortresses, and castles."

"That's our defense."

"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, place this altar on our southern or western border, and raise the spiritual curtain to form the Great Wall of Black Mist, then the monsters will either go east or west, and this long defense The line will condense into two strongholds.”

"As long as we hold these two strongholds, we will hold Trorian's 2,000-yard border!"

The Holy Fire Sacrifice was silent for a moment.

Everyone was silently chewing on Rhodes' words and 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 Great Wall of Black Mist reliable? Are there 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 the second generation, no monster will be willing to cross the Great Wall. If the position of the space outside the Great Wall of Black Mist is lowered, Guidance, this probability can be considered to be infinitely close to 100%.”

This sentence shocked the Holy Fire Sacrifice Ground, and scholars whispered to each other.

Horus was lost in thought.

Wang looked at Rhodes, his golden eyes flashing with fire.

Liszt scratched his bald head and asked in surprise: "Why do you think of so many things?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, this is the eternal refuge that Adam Yarrell has realized."

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

"What's the meaning?"

"If you surround an area with the Great Wall of Black Mist, wouldn't that area become an eternal refuge from monster attacks?"

Liszt's eyes suddenly widened:

"Is this possible?"

Rhodes shook his head: "No, the book tells... Well, 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. After reaching a certain critical point, , they will forcefully cross the Great Wall of Black Mist."

"The disturbance of fire cannot be isolated, the spread of black mist cannot be stopped, it is impossible to survive without fire, and the existence of fire will inevitably lead to monster attacks, which makes the eternal refuge 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 smiled and said: "Although the Eternal Refuge cannot be completed, we can greatly reduce our defense pressure through the Great Black Mist Wall. The long defense line will be replaced by the Great Black Mist Wall."

"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 protective fire, and load the fortresses with psychic cannons to concentrate the most advantageous combat power and annihilate the gathered enemies. Come the monster."

Amides said: "In this case, all the disadvantages caused 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 moved his fingers outward.

"In this case, our original expansion plan can be greatly extended outwards until Dalong City is included in the scope."

There was a chorus of exclamations in the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

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

If they can get the Great Dragon City, Trolian's territory will be more than ten times larger than before.

But it is safer than before. No more monsters will penetrate the defense circle and leak into Trorian.

Everyone also suddenly discovered that if the border reached Dalong City, they would also be protected by the 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 barrier 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 with the Star Marrow Altar. This is a creation that the seven ancient gods spent a lot of effort on. 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:

"Spiritual Curtain is a very mature psychic technology. We can also make it, but we don't have such a high status."

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

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

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

At this point, everyone already believed that the Great Wall of Black Mist could isolate monsters.

The focus now is, can the pass withstand such heavy pressure?

Wang asked Rhodes to explain the "Great Wall of Black Mist" in detail from beginning to end, focusing on each key point.

Everyone kept asking questions, and Rhodes kept answering them.

Fortunately, he had already discussed it 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. The black mist condensed to the "second evolution" level of the Great Wall of Black Mist will definitely give birth to powerful monsters. Within this Great Wall, How to deal with the monsters that are born?

Rhodes' answer was that guard towers could be built along the way behind the Great Wall, and patrol battle groups could be formed to regularly clean up from the outside. The level of vigilance would be equivalent to the red clay plains of Trorian's safe zone.

It can also have a certain actual combat training effect, with middle and low-level combatants participating in battles here.

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

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

One wrong step could mean the survival of the entire tribe.

Everyone focused their attention on the king.

No one but him is qualified to make this decision.

The king's face burned in the firelight, his golden eyes looked at the blazing holy fire, and he spoke calmly.

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

After a moment of silence, cheers echoed throughout the Holy Fire Sacrifice Ground again.

Of course, this is just a principled suggestion.

The specific plan still needs to be discussed in detail by the Military War Department, and every detail must not be missed.

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

This plan was named "Eternal Plan" by the king, borrowing the meaning of eternal refuge. It was hoped that this carefully built defense could help Trorian survive the horrific disaster.

The discussion of the Star Marrow Altar ends here.

Its use requires Trorian to complete its expansion.

At present, 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 one after another. The stars also became unstable, and bad weather often appeared, much more frequently than before.

However, the combat power of the Royal City has also been greatly improved, and the shortage of supplies is still the most urgent problem of the Royal City.

The supplies Rhodes brought back temporarily alleviated the problem, but it did not solve the root cause.

If 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 help from other Fire King cities, can all these problems be solved?

Finding the new Fire King 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, Saint Rayer is one of the five surviving Fire King cities in the Dark Age. Their church is called the White Sect, and this is their flag. Adam Yarel is a member of the White Sect's church named Aurora. members of the regiment.”

"It is the wall of black mist that isolates the influence between us, so for these eighteen hundred years, we and they have not discovered each other."

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

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