The convoy drove west along the established route.

They are the routes specially developed by the Royal City to ensure the logistics supplies of Star City, and they are relatively safe.

The expedition team will first arrive at Star City along this route, and then from Star City to Fanxing Town.

Although materials and personnel are relatively expensive, the expedition team's forty Spirit Horse vehicles can still be called luxurious.

The spirit horse is the only spiritual creature tamed by humans. Not only can it exist in the material world for a long time, it can also enter a deep sleep state and shrink into a small ball that can be carried around.

The only disadvantage is that it is expensive and only consumes psychic crystals.

The elders originally planned to distribute some new mechanical bicycles from the Industrial Machinery Research Institute. Ordinary hearses cannot go out of the city, and hearses that can go out of the city are also very expensive.

But the king gave his property to Rhodes.

It means that Rhodes used his own private property to fight, and the elders have no right to comment.

The spirit horse was very fast, dragging the carriage along the road.

This heaven-shaking pleasure is not something ordinary people can enjoy.

The territory on the west side of the royal city is not large.

After traveling less than two hundred miles, we left the outermost perimeter of the defensive circle and entered the dark world.

Then walk 400 miles westward along the Dead End Mountain Range, and you will reach the City of Stars.

This is an ancient city that contains countless treasures.

According to scholars’ research, it belongs to the Starry Kingdom of the Age of Fire.

This kingdom worships the stars and believes that it can draw power from them. The supreme ruler of the kingdom, the Queen of Stars, possesses the only characteristic that can be passed down through blood-falling stars.

After the destruction of the Star Kingdom about 1,500 years ago, the Queen of Stars fell into darkness, and this soul characteristic never appeared in the world again.

Since entering the Dark Age, humankind has been basically destroyed, and fire has disappeared from the earth, leaving only a faint glow.

This ancient city has been silent in darkness for a long time, and was only briefly controlled by Trorian six hundred years ago.

When the Battle of Falling Star failed, the human race in Trolian turned from prosperity to decline, and they have never set foot here again.

Until today.

Trorian's expeditionary army finally established a firm foothold in the City of Stars, establishing stable connections and supply channels with the kingdom.

However, over a long period of time, countless darkness has settled in this ancient city.

Although the conquering legion has basically occupied the city and ignited the fire of protection, the soldiers are still clearing away the filth and darkness in the depths, and there is no extra strength to establish a defense system with the City of Stars as the core stronghold.

Fanxing Town is an important stronghold in such a system.

It is located 370 miles away from the northwest corner of Star City and is a key node in the expected defense system.

Through it, you can continue to advance in all directions. It is an important stronghold for Trorian's expansion into the dark world and the starting point of a greater blueprint.

It is precisely because of this that conservatives and opponents are so firmly opposed to this operation.

Rhodes' burden is actually much greater than imagined.

Choosing him was beyond everyone’s expectations.

I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage suddenly stopped.

Captain O'Hara came to the carriage and shouted: "Sir Commander, we have arrived at the City of Stars."

Rhodes woke up from his meditation and replied: "Okay, I understand."

Molly opened the carriage door and the two got out of the car together.

They will repair here briefly and meet with Captain Lockhart of the Conquest Legion and Captain Cross of the City Defense Legion to see if they can get some help.

Molly said softly: "If Lord Lockhart can support us with some supplies or lend us some soldiers, the situation may change, but the possibility is not high. The road to Fanxing Town will be difficult."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Rhode's mind.

At the same time, the oppressive feeling of the void came again, and he immediately used [Awakening].

But the breath of the void has only pushed forward half a step, and the spiritual energy is rapidly evaporating into the void.

Rhodes didn't have time to think about it, he grabbed Molly and pulled her back to the car.

O'Hara was surprised: "Sir Commander?"

Rhodes' answer came from inside the carriage: "Wait for me for 30 seconds."

O'Hara and the surrounding soldiers looked at each other.

30 seconds?

What can you do in 30 seconds?

In the carriage, Rhodes had no time to talk nonsense.

He pointed directly at the map and said: "We are establishing a stronghold here. There is no better location than this."

Molly looked along his fingers, doubts appearing in her eyes for the first time.

"This is a dungeon, a monster lair."

Rhodes ignored her look and said quickly.

"If my plan goes well, it won't anymore. With an underground city as a base, everything will be easy to handle."

"After I leave, you lock this carriage and don't allow anyone to open it or get close to it, otherwise my plan will fail. Do you understand?"

Molly's expression returned to seriousness and rigidity, and other expressions always disappeared quickly like thin ice on her hot face.

"I know."

"Then, the task of meeting with the legion commander will be left to you. I'm leaving."

Rhode activated the spirit boat, and the white mist like a slurry lake quickly enveloped him.

Since there is no past Fanxing Town, the spirit boat cannot travel through the spirit world, nor can it navigate automatically. It can only fly to the southwest manually.

The [Spirit Boat], which had reached its highest position, was moving extremely fast. The soldiers only saw a white thing flying out of the carriage and disappearing behind the black mist in the blink of an eye.

O'Hara wondered: "What is this?"

Da.

Molly stepped out of the carriage and ordered: "Lock up this carriage and arrange for five soldiers to take turns guarding it. No one is allowed to get close."

O'Hara came back to his senses. Although he felt strange, obeying orders is the bounden duty of a soldier.

"Yes, Deputy Commander."

"Kander, come with me to see the Legion Commander."

"Yes, Deputy Commander."

Molly, who is tall and has a serious face, walks towards the Star City not far away with a strong aura.

Vice-captain Kander followed behind Molly. He was not as tall as Molly, which further highlighted her strength.

In the thick darkness, Rhodes was flying to the southwest at an alarming speed.

The map has been imprinted in his mind, and his super-high spiritual vision prevents him from getting lost.

Rhodes' thinking is very clear now.

Just now, he had set the resurrection point of the Resurrection Stone in the carriage.

Now, he will rush into the monster's lair and commit suicide.

If the inference is correct, his death will trigger some strong effects.

During the last Kuroshio mission, a particularly strong disturbance occurred at the second node.

It was the originally planned effect of this disturbance amplification that led to the overall turn of the Kuroshio and the disaster ended early.

The Royal City Army War Department, the White Tower and many societies are still studying this problem, trying to find the cause of the disturbance so that it can be used again in the future.

They looked through all the reasons from the spirit world to the stars, from monster mutations to chaotic systems, but they couldn't find an explanation that convinced most people.

Only Rhodes knew that the only difference between the second node and the first node was that he died there.

He was not killed by monsters, but was eaten back by the void.

In his impression, when he died, the powerful force did not seem to stop, but became more violent.

From this, Rhodes came up with an inference.

This abnormal death may trigger some kind of strong explosion.

After excessive use of psychic energy at the Demon Dragon, Rhodes had an idea.

The first thing he did when he took office in Fanxing Town was to use a super self-destruction to open up the situation.

But, where should the self-destruction location be?

Rhodes has been thinking about this issue before.

Will it detonate in Fanxing Town? Or detonate in the surrounding area?

Or detonate it in the most dangerous Yin Soen ruins?
