A tsunami-like spiritual energy flashed past, and there was an instant calm.
In the distance, Wang stood up, and the power of the soul entered his body. He looked at Rhodes from a distance, and their eyes met in the air.
For at least two seconds, neither of them spoke or looked away.
Until Horus suddenly screamed: "King! Are you back?"
The king turned away his eyes and smiled gently: "Yes, I'm back, Horus."
Horus's deadwood face looked like it was about to crack.
"Where is the Lord of Nightmares?"
"Dead."
"Dead?"
"Yeah."
Horus's penis is sticking out.
"You won? Did you kill it?"
"Yes."
There was no fluctuation in Wang's expression, and he calmly seemed to be stating a simple fact.
Rhodes looked at them with innocent eyes, pretending to believe Wang's words, indicating that he had nothing to do with this matter.
"Yes, yes..."
Horus always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only ask again.
"The Lord of Nightmares was really killed by you?"
The king stepped down from the throne, looked at the Archbishop of the Holy Church with his golden eyes, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Horus, don't you believe me?"
"No... no, of course not, but..."
Horus stammered for a long time and finally found his train of thought.
"The Lord of Nightmares is one of the most powerful old masters. Although it does not have a strong source and cannot reach the king level, there are very few monsters that can compare with him in the ranks of strong levels. The Jinworth Society even lists it as
It is listed as one of the disaster monsters. Powerful monsters rarely reach the level of disaster, and it is one of the few exceptions."
The king raised his hand, and a bright fire flew out from the holy fire, fell on his body, and turned into his crown and robe.
He walked towards them and asked casually: "Horus, do you think I am weaker than him?"
Horus immediately shook his head: "No, of course it's impossible. You are our king. Your eternal fire has reached an unprecedented height. No king has ever had such a high status as you. Since the Second Great War,
After the extinction, there has never been a moment when the Holy Fire could reach its current intensity."
"You are unmatched."
The king smiled and said: "Then what are you still worried about? Horus."
Horus bowed and said: "King, I am not worried if the Lord of Nightmares fights you in the royal city, but you entered the spiritual world in the form of a spirit and left most of your power in your body." p>
"After crossing the space barrier, the battle becomes very disadvantageous. Too far distance will greatly weaken your strength, the connection between the powerful holy fire and you will become extremely weak, your spirit will become unstable, and
The Lord of Nightmares is a pure spiritual creature and can exert greater power in the spiritual environment."
"Under such conditions, it is difficult to defeat it, especially in such a short period of time."
The king looked a little troubled: "Don't you believe me? Horus."
Horus said calmly: "King, please tell me the truth. Don't hide bad news every time. I am the Archbishop of the Holy Church and I am qualified to help you deal with all crises."
Wang sighed: "Well, let me tell you, it is really difficult to deal with the Lord of Nightmares when fighting only in a spiritual state. I have to use my profound wisdom and skillful skills to make up for my disadvantages..."<
/p>
In the next quarter of an hour, Wang was bragging.
Rhodes never thought that the king with thick eyebrows and big eyes was also a guy who boasted and never drafted.
However, this is exactly what Rhodes wanted.
Although there is no suspicion on him, if there are many such things, it will have some impact.
Hey, it’s really troublesome.
Rhodes sighed in his heart. In fact, he really wanted to reveal the existence of part of the dream, but it was always troublesome to keep it secret. Choosing to reveal part of it would not only save a lot of brain cells, but also gain more resources from the royal city.
.
But once the Book of Knowledge discovers a similar situation, it will warn him sternly and chatter crazily in his mind.
Rhodes was also afraid of touching the taboos of dreams, which would lead to unpredictable consequences, so he could only keep it hidden.
But why did Wang admit that he was the one who killed him?
Rhodes didn't know what the king saw in the spirit world, but the movement caused by the attack in the spirit world was very loud. The light particles hit the Lord of Nightmares and erupted into a bright light that even Rhodes, who was far away in the high-level spirit world, could clearly see.
Seeing it, it is impossible for the king not to see it.
There are many possible reasons.
Rhodes thought for a while and gave up without any clue. The most important thing for him now was to obtain the king's blessing, then go to the battlefield to kill monsters and prepare for the upcoming invasion.
"...I passed the Lord of Nightmares with a fake move, and hit its weak spot with a backhand blow, punching a big hole in its body. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Lord of Nightmares turned around and ran for his life. I followed closely behind, constantly using Yang Yan.
The cannon attacks its wounds, amplifying its injuries, and simulates the power of scarlet lightning, deepening the damage it suffers."
"After four consecutive rounds of attacks, I finally eliminated the Lord of Nightmares."
The king stretched out his hand.
"Here, these are its ashes. My spirit has brought it back."
Horus carefully held the piece of ashes. It was like a turbid gem, emitting a dull light.
"This is the ashes of the old master... Ah, I can feel its surging power. This is an excellent potion material! It can be made into the best spiritual potion. Ten more of our students will gain significant spiritual power.
Can grow!"
It's a pity that it's useless to me, Rhodes thought with regret.
Putting the ashes carefully into the red stone box, Horus no longer had any doubts about the king's words, and his face like a dead tree was filled with ecstasy.
"This is simply a miracle! We have lost another huge threat, the pressure on Trorian has been reduced a lot, and the Fire Temple can free up more hands to deal with threats from all over the place."
He clenched his hands into fists, pressed them on his heart, and prayed devoutly.
"May the fire protect us."
Wang smiled and said: "Fire is indeed protecting us. Since the crisis in the Trident River region was perfectly resolved, our situation has been improving, hidden dangers are being eliminated, the advancement of the major legions has become smoother, and the regional crisis has also improved."
Ease with the release of our power."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
A dry smile appeared on Horus' dry face.
"Yes, Wang, what makes me most gratified is that Alan was finally able to rest after the fierce battle."
"His adjutant Kelso told me that the soul purification ceremony was very successful. The soul master spent two days cleaning up many dangerous soul blackenings for him. Alan's combat effectiveness has been greatly restored. Not only was there no delay in these two days
Combat, on the contrary, the efficiency has been greatly improved."
He turned around and showed Rhodes a kind smile that could scare a child to tears.
"This is your achievement. You have done us a big favor."
Why don't you give me more rewards... Rhode complained in his heart, squeezed out a smile and said: "This is what I should do, give me your blessing, I'm going to fight."
But after hearing this, Horus shook his head and said firmly: "No."
Rhodes was surprised: "Why?"
Horus said in a deep voice: "Now that we have come to this point, I will tell you that after you killed Queen Fraula, I asked the White Tower to make a strict prophecy specifically for you. The prophecy showed that
You are in great danger in the near future."
"In order to ensure your safety, we have decided not to let you leave the royal city for the time being."
Isn’t it?
Rhodes couldn't believe his ears.
Are you mentally retarded? The most dangerous thing is not letting me leave the royal city.
There is no soul repair in the dream, and I have used up all my divinity. Without improvement, this invasion will be very dangerous.
"But, but, the prediction may not be accurate..."
Horus said solemnly: "This is a prophecy made for you personally by Meredith, the Lord of the White Tower, who spent a lot of spirituality and rare materials. This is already the third prophecy made for you personally. There are errors.
The probability is extremely small."
"But now the situation in various places is urgent, and the palace is very short of people..."
Horus said in a deep voice: "Rhodes, you have to understand that you are now a genius with a strong mark in the palace, one of the brightest rising stars in recent years, your safety is very important... there are soldiers who died for you.
It’s valuable, they protected a future star, and he will save more people.”
Damn you!
Rhodes almost cursed, you are hurting me by not letting me out.
However, Horus's words were hard to refute. Rhodes racked his brains and could not find a new excuse. At this moment, his body suddenly felt hot, and a brilliant heat hit his face, integrated into his body, and spread into his limbs.
Remains.
Rhodes raised his head in surprise and saw the hand Wang just put down.
"King..."
"Your Majesty!"
Horus shouted loudly. Anyone who is familiar with him knows that he only uses honorifics when he is extremely angry.
"What are you doing?"
The king smiled gently: "Don't be excited, Horus, anger will reduce your wisdom..."
Horus interrupted him angrily: "Why did you give him a blessing? Do you want to kill our new star?"
Wang smiled and said: "Horus, I think you have misunderstood. The prophecies are not wrong, but our interpretation is often wrong. Where do you think Rhodes' danger comes from?"
Horus said angrily: "Of course it is an extremely dangerous, terrifying, and weird monster!"
Wang shook his head slightly.
"Not necessarily. Monsters are certainly dangerous, but the monsters currently appearing on the battlefield are all understandable. The incomprehensible monsters have not yet arrived. After Little Rhodes experienced the Battle of the Trident River, he has matured a lot and is a qualified
A high-level combatant."
"For him, the real danger comes from within."
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured down on the head. Horus was shocked: "You mean, doomsday cultists?"
"Yes."
"But... the Doomsday Cults have already suffered a big blow. The Survivor Cult has disappeared without a trace, the Advent Cult has fallen apart, and the Defiler Cult is hiding deep in the sewers, afraid to come forward..."
The king shook his head lightly: "Horus, Grand Hierarch Asa and his Book of Destiny are far more troublesome than you think. They may just want to use this to keep Rhodes in the royal city so that they can carry out their assassination conspiracy." "But, but." Horus still couldn't believe it: "The battlefield is also very dangerous..."
Wang Shengsheng said: "The flowers blooming in the greenhouse can never face the wind and rain. If Rhodes wants to become a towering tree, he must go through a cruel battle."
"Even if you die on the way."
The holy fire sacrificial site became quiet, leaving only the sound of the burning holy fire.
After a long time, Horus sighed: "Okay, as you say."
Finally!
Rhodes' hanging heart finally relaxed.
Damn it, it’s not easy to go out.
Wang gently patted Rhodes on the shoulder and said gently: "Go, our new star, the Holy Fire Project has greatly advanced because of your existence. I have been waiting for many years, and it is finally reaching its critical stage."
We have reached the stage, and you have grown beyond imagination. Maybe you will be able to participate by then."
Wang smiled slightly, with flames flickering in his golden eyes.
"I'm looking forward to that moment."
——
After Rhodes left, Horus also left quickly - as one of the most powerful archbishops in the history of the Holy Church, his personal strength exceeded that of a first-level combatant and reached the level of a quasi-super-level combatant. p>
Therefore, the burden on his shoulders is far heavier than that of ordinary people.
Ever since Trorian entered a state of full-scale combat and launched a campaign to the west, he has had little free time and often has to deal with tedious academic affairs while fighting fiercely.
The Holy Church is an important organization that maintains the stability of the Trorian Kingdom. It is responsible for comforting the people, treating diseases, rescuing the wounded, and all prayer and sacrificial activities.
Whenever a war begins, fierce fighting will bring turmoil and unrest.
This is also the busiest period for the Holy Church.
Horus's work is very tedious, but he also has to support various places - the change in the situation that a quasi-super combatant can bring is very huge, and the palace cannot sit idly by.
There is nothing we can do about this.
As the Western Expedition depleted a large amount of combat power, the defense pressure in various places increased sharply.
The huge psychic disturbance caused by the large-scale war also made the world shrouded in black fog unstable, and abnormal states occurred frequently.
As the last line of defense of the human kingdom, the Palace of Fire has been squeezed to the limit.
Every palace-level warrior is constantly sent to deal with abnormal situations, and only has the shortest rest time.
The stronger the warrior, the more frequent the battle.
Trorian is like a taut bowstring. The strong pressure makes it break at any time, but it cannot stop.
This is also the reason why Wang’s plan met with fierce opposition.
No one wants to take this risk.
The king is not willing either.
But there is no way around it. The intensity of the holy fire far exceeds its limit.
No one knows this. The previous popular theory in the royal city believed that the power of the holy fire has no upper limit. As long as enough phlogiston and firewood are added, the holy fire can become infinitely stronger.
It was not until long after the king ascended the throne that the abnormality of the sacred fire was discovered.
But there is no way to save it now. Lowering the intensity means abandoning the entire outer city, which means the death of tens of millions of people.
Humanity's already embarrassing living space will be further reduced, and the number of new fire bearers every year will be significantly reduced.
Trorian will be set back fifty years, maybe even a hundred years.
Wang's dream will become out of reach.
——That is also a prophecy.
Before the king took office, the master of the White Tower was not Meredith, but his teacher, Alai Peter.
Before the fire-passing ceremony was held, Alai Peter used his soul to complete a miraculous prophecy of the source.
The result of the prophecy is: "The next king of Trolian will lead the surviving humans in the Dark Age to restore their former glory."
Yes.
The king remembered every word of the prophecy deeply.
He will never forget the moment when Alai Peter, the elder he respected most, exchanged his soul for him, turned into ashes in front of him.
That brief prophecy was imprinted on his soul like steel and became his spirit and belief for the next twenty years.
He did.
In his hands, Trorian is far more powerful than before. Its population has doubled, its resources have skyrocketed, its space has expanded, and its internal unity has made everything prosperous.
Until the holy fire changes.
That was Trorian's biggest turning point.
Since then, Trorian, which was developing at a rapid pace, suddenly came to a standstill, internal cracks appeared, conflicts increased, and doomsday cultists began to become rampant.
Faced with such a predicament, Wang had to stay at the Holy Fire Sacrifice for a long time and spend most of his time guarding the Holy Fire.
They even had to weave the illusion that the king was addicted to beauty to cover up the truth, so that the disputes among the candidates for the king became acute.
But all this is for the Holy Fire Project.
He wants to do something that no one before him could even imagine. He wants to capture another Fire King city sunk in the black mist - Tasnia's Star City, kill another king, and seize 1,500 years of history.
The sacred fire seed of the previously destroyed Starry Kingdom.
This is an extremely risky plan.
He had a safer choice.
But if we do that, we will lose the possibility of regaining human glory. Human beings can only give up their dignity, cut off their unnecessary compatriots with a knife, curl up again, and live in humiliation under the darkness brought by the black mist. p>
That kind of shadow cannot be eliminated even in one hundred or two hundred years.
The king cannot accept it.
He had heard about the glory of mankind. They once ruled the heaven and earth, ruled the earth, ruled the ocean, and walked proudly everywhere in this world. Even the gods had to bow their proud heads to them.
He also firmly believes that he will be able to rebuild the glory of mankind.
Even just a little bit.
So, Wang chose to take the risk.
That was an almost desperate choice.
During the preparation process, Wang encountered unimaginable resistance and saw no hope of success.
He wanted to give up countless times, but persisted countless times.
He also did not expect that in the near future, the Holy Fire Plan, which was originally almost impossible to realize, would actually see a little glimmer of light.
And all of this was brought about by one person.
Rod.
If the Battle of Fanxing Town and the Battle of Trident River just happened to happen, then the nightmare battle just now was definitely not a coincidence.
The light particles from the upper levels of the spiritual world cut through the distant space and killed the powerful Lord of Nightmares with four consecutive strikes.
Wang saw very clearly that this was definitely not a natural phenomenon in the spiritual world, but a targeted attack.
Although the Lord of Nightmares was killed by the attacks from him and the light particles, his power is unquestionable.
Wang was just doubtful at first, but when he opened his eyes and saw Rhodes, he knew that this matter had something to do with him.
Incomprehensible strange things always appear with his appearance.
This can't be a coincidence, that guy must have some factors that cannot be disclosed.
This may be their opportunity to win.
Looking back at the beginning, his joining was only because of Theodore's last soul message.
Among the countless messy soul fragments, only three words are clearly visible.
"Believe him!"
Wang Mengran clenched his hand, and the incomparably vast spiritual energy surged.
The holy fire sensed the king's will, and countless golden flames flew up and surrounded the king.
Come on!
Wang Aoran looked into the void.
There are more monsters coveting the Holy Fire.
All along, these monsters called [disasters] have been Trolian's biggest threat.
What the Palace of Fire has been guarding against all year round is their existence.
They can be found not only in the spiritual world, but also in the depths of black mist, dark taboo places, and terrifying sealed places.
The king is not willing to fight with them because it will consume his strength.
But now, he is not afraid anymore.
He has never believed so much for a moment that he will lead mankind to walk proudly on this earth.
——
——
Royal City.
Deep in the sewer.
A hidden cave.
The humid air is filled with the smell of blood, and the thick blood floats with bone residue and minced meat, mixing with the filth on the ground, turning into a disgusting black and red color.
On the stone throne, the black shadow is holding a huge book with many damages on it, and a mixture of black and red is squirming in it.
A hoarse voice sounded in the empty space.
"Ah, how difficult it is to repair you...but I still have a way."
The dark shadow carefully caressed these damaged areas, as if what he was holding was his newborn son.
"Hehehehe, you can't escape your fate of destruction. I will use you more carefully and won't let you suffer any loss..."
Peng!
The book exploded again.
The black and red mixture splashed all over my face.
Black Shadow's eyes widened, as if he saw his newborn son explode.
"Why is this?"
"I am obviously careful to avoid direct cause and effect. What is resisting me?"
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
The book that was just repaired was half blown up again.
The black and red mixture splashed all over the body, and the whole body of the black shadow was trembling, as if something terrifying was about to burst out of the body, and powerful spiritual energy was distorted in the air, like some kind of strange character.
Suddenly, the character trembled, as if there was some kind of interference, but no one noticed it.
It wasn't until a long time passed that the black shadow calmed down.
"Hehehehe."
The creepy laughter sounded again in the underground space.
"I know what you are. It's easy to deal with you. No existence can resist the established fate of death. The old human race will eventually perish. The arrival of the Eternal Dark Age is unstoppable, hahahaha!"
The black shadow laughed wildly.
"You're dead!"
"The king of shit swallowing!"
——
——
On the lonely peak of the Dead Mountains.
Temple of Fire.
After receiving the king's order, Dalin was very surprised.
This is different from the plan they originally agreed upon.
Why did Wang suddenly change his mind?
Dalin was confused, but did not hesitate and ordered the envoy to adjust Rhodes's battle order to the front line.
"What is his combat mission?" the messenger asked.
Dalin looked at the huge fog disk in front of him, and saw countless dots of firelight surrounded by thick black fog.
He was silent for a long time and said.
"Go and support Storm Castle. Mr. Armando is too old and unable to do what he wants. Xingge is young and the situation is not optimistic."
The first commander Herman on the side asked: "Is this appropriate? The enemies faced by Storm Castle are very dangerous. Rhodes has just advanced to a high-level combatant. Although his continuous combat ability is very strong, his battle group cannot follow him.
If we fight together, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."
Dalin said: "No problem, go ahead."
But just as the envoy was about to turn around, he was stopped again by the first defense chief.
