Chapter 118 Past and Beginning

 The Black Tide is 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 Trolian's defense line, bringing great pressure to mankind.

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

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

This is 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.<

/p>

And an emergency team and a support team are left to respond to emergencies.

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

Rhodes listened to the instructor's lesson and looked into the distance.

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 setting up a bonfire to drive away wild beasts.

The only light is their home.

And this majestic fortress aggravates 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 very 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, An Ye just smiled slightly.

"Jiangguan used to be the frontline of the kingdom. Every time the royal city launched a crusade into the depths of darkness, it would start from Jiangguan, just like a long sword unsheathed, so it was 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. Whenever his elders asked him about past events, he would look like this.

"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 Trorian is weak cannot be concealed."

"Whenever the expeditionary legions set out from Jianguan, they were not greeted 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.

."

"At that time, people's biggest dream was to defend Jianguan, build more fortresses like Jianguan, seal off human beings, prevent them from facing 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, Jianguan would become the end of the defense line. Thirty psychic generators were removed and twenty-nine were moved. The garrison commander of Jianguan was in the legion

You can't even participate in high-level meetings. Newcomers like you can also reinforce Jianguan and resist powerful enemies together with the soldiers guarding Jianguan."

There was silence on the city wall, and the students were dazzled.

Although the Anye instructors did not say a word, they could imagine the torrent of years and such a glorious victory.

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

An Ye shook her 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 is already very powerful in their eyes, 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, and 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 faintly:

"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 became deeper.

"Caramon, notify the combat command room immediately and ask the emergency team and support team to prepare. Beorwood, Raistlin, 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 seemed that 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 can't identify monsters. This is the first time Rhodes has seen this happen.

Suddenly, Anye shouted: "High-energy reaction ahead! The seventh-level psychic waveform is a ferocious monster, first-level battle preparation!"

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