Chapter 303 The Beginning of Hope(1/2)
The year 1325 of the Teslevian Gregorian calendar.
The first day of the eleventh month.
Trorian, the only known surviving human nation in the dark world.
The king, his spiritual and true leader, issued the order for total war.
Countless soldiers crossed the western defense line and rushed into the dark world. More logistics personnel transported war materials to the front line. Countless convoys gathered from various towns and strongholds in the kingdom to the royal city. A long dragon of weak lights spread here.
Above the land.
Within and outside the kingdom, sparks are everywhere.
All organizations are operating at full capacity, and all workshops and mines are working overtime.
The kingdom's war machine rumbles into action.
When Rhodes walked on the street, he saw such a busy scene.
His heart was also filled with excitement and he couldn't wait to rush to the Supreme Council.
As a gathering place for elders, for the first time there are no elders in the Hall of Fire.
In accordance with the agreement, they no longer interfered with war decisions, but devoted themselves to specific affairs, and even went to the front lines to fight in person.
Their souls and bodies have declined, but their spirits have not been extinguished. The first elder Armando personally stepped in and those who were unwilling to go were relieved of their duties as elders.
Of course, after the purge of the royal city, there are not many such people left.
When Rhodes entered the hall, Wang was discussing the battle situation with Archbishop Horus, First Defense Officer Chang Lin and others.
Surrounded by corps commanders, defense chiefs and commanders at all levels.
There is a large psychic imager in the middle, with a large scale, showing the approximate distribution of power within a radius of two thousand and a thousand yards from the center of the royal city.
Different from the past, today's disk is much brighter, and the dark background is filled with tiny light spots.
"...In one month, the frontline must be pushed to Fanxing Town and Star City, and these two external points must be included in the kingdom."
Wang pointed his finger at the two larger light spots outside the west side.
They represent Fanxing Town and Star City, which are respectively 700,000 yards and 500,000 yards away from the Royal City.
"All areas in between must be cleaned up, purified, and new settlements established in suitable places to further reduce our survival pressure."
The two remaining chief executive officers suddenly beamed with joy.
Fanxing Zhen Zhuyu was in front, allowing them to see the huge benefits after releasing population pressure. Although this area is very barren, as long as one-tenth of the place is suitable for habitation, it is enough to alleviate Trorian's huge survival pressure.<
/p>
But the army commanders all looked bitter, and one month was too short.
Although Fanxing Town and Star City are in front, there is no need to worry about disturbing the black mist and causing unrest in the dark world.
But unlike the development of Fanxing Town and Star City, this area is too large, with a total area of more than 300,000 square meters. It is difficult to complete the cleaning and purification within a month.
Cross, the commander of the city defense corps, said: "King, one month is too short. If there are three months..."
Wang shook his head slightly.
"It must be a month. The White Tower just told me that the next solar day will be in a month. We must take this opportunity to clear out the Old Abyss, the Fortress of Terror, and the Trident River, and capture the target for our further operations.
Be prepared for the storm pass."
Liszt, the leader of the Survey Corps, turned around and asked: "How many days are expected this month?"
A prophet in white robes replied: "Sir Meredith predicts that the eleventh month will last for 23 sunsets."
The brows of several legion commanders all frowned.
23 days is a short month, which makes their less tolerant time even more urgent.
Lockhart, the commander of the expeditionary legion, stared at the fog disk for a while and asked hesitantly: "King, why did we choose to occupy Storm Pass? I remember that according to Lister's report, the resources on this route were not enough.
There are many, but there are many black dangerous places, and the Storm Pass is the major pass of the Dead Mountains, which leads directly to the dark plains in the north along the Grand Storm Canyon."
Cross continued: "The threat there is too strong, and the defense pressure at Storm Pass will be very high."
Wang said calmly: "This is related to our next stage of battle."
Lockhart understood, lowered his head and said: "I understand, King, I will order the conquerors to eliminate the monsters with all their strength."
Cross: "I will let the defenders guard every stronghold and build a strong backing for the soldiers on the front line."
Liszt: "The Survey Corps will ensure that the battlefield is absolutely transparent and will not let the unknown darkness swallow any soldier."
Wang smiled.
Whenever everyone is united and united, that is when he is happiest.
No matter how great the victory is, it can't compare to the feeling of them holding hands and shoulder to shoulder.
From the moment he became a candidate for king, he always believed this.
As long as there is no gap and everyone works together, mankind will never perish.
He has been practicing this philosophy since he ascended the throne of the Fire, but unfortunately, it proved impossible to unite everyone. When Trorian came to a standstill, differences immediately emerged.
Without a strong person to suppress it, the royal city retreated so far in just a few years.
Wang glanced at Rhodes who was quietly listening to their discussion at the outermost edge of the crowd.
If it weren't for him, the royal city would not have recovered so quickly.
The significance of cleaning up the scum and spoilers even exceeds the development of Fanxing Town.
Hmm... Qingyu is too gentle and not suitable for Trolian's next stage of development.
It would be great if he were Jon's royal husband.
Wang gave up his random thoughts and concentrated on discussing various specific matters.
Rhodes, who was on the periphery, didn't know Wang's thoughts yet, and the lengthy discussion almost made him fall asleep.
Then he really fell asleep.
When Rhodes woke up again, there were not many people left in the hall.
Cross, the commander of the city defense corps, was passing by him. Seeing his half-opened eyes, he showed a friendly smile and left the hall.
Now, only Horus is left in the hall.
Rhodes ran up quickly.
"Lord Horus, I want to join the battle..."
Horus nodded with a smile: "Go back to Fanxing Town, pay attention to the unusual movements outside the wasteland on the west side, and be ready to receive the incoming warriors."
Rhodes almost suspected that he heard wrongly.
"What? Why are you going back to Fanxing Town? There is no fighting around Fanxing Town. The students from the secret branch are not here anymore. The guards in the Defense Department are either drinking or playing cards every day. Molly even broke her whip.
Too big an effect."
Horus said seriously: "How can you be so lax? You are at the forefront of darkness. A large-scale war in the rear will definitely trigger changes in the depths of darkness. If there is a monster turmoil, you will be the first to bear the brunt! Go back now,
Improve discipline and strengthen defense!"
Rhodes was very angry and felt emotionally deceived.
"You can send anyone to do this kind of thing. I have already done it according to your arrangements. It's time for you to let me fight."
Horus's dry face showed no emotion.
"This is your combat mission, follow the arrangements."
After that, no matter what Rhodes said, Horus always said this.
Rhodes was so angry that he ran to find the king again.
But the king is not at the sacred fire sacrificial site, nor at the new palace.
Rhodes learned from other King's Hands that the king went to the Fire Palace.
All Trolian's high-level combatants gathered there.
Rhodes is not qualified enough and doesn’t even know where the Fire Palace is.
When I was depressed, a command came from the hand of a king——
The king asked him to obey Horus's order and return to Fanxing Town immediately to take charge of various tasks.
The King's Hand is the King's bodyguard and only obeys the King's orders. The commands conveyed are the King's orders.
He doesn't have to listen to what Horus says, because he is the captain of the Hand of the King and an alternate elder, and the Archbishop has no control over him.
But he must obey the king's orders.
Rhodes was extremely depressed. After waiting for such a long time, he finally returned to Fanxing Town.
What about the dangerous combat mission promised?
Damn it, you liars, I will never trust you again!
