The brief meeting ended quickly, and Jon and Qingyu led the elite battle group to quickly engage in the remaining battles.
The battle caused by the rift in the abyss has come to an end.
The old city of Baila was stabilized, Laisuo City was restored, the monsters released from the abyss rift were slaughtered, the abyss rift was destroyed, and only the stronghold near the iron armor fortress remained, but it no longer posed a threat.
The punitive team composed of Trolian humans' top combat power quickly eliminated the last tail.
At this point, with the efforts of everyone and after paying a heavy price, this battle, which was named "Giant" by the Supreme Military War Department, ended successfully.
But the black tide is not over yet.
The battle between light and darkness, fire and fog, man and monster will continue.
——
That night, Rhodes returned to the royal city with Sauron.
The mission of the elite combat group ended and they were disbanded. Everyone quickly returned to their original places. They are the core figures in each area, team, battle group, and stronghold. They cannot leave their respective territories for too long. This operation is
It was a very risky forced transfer, but because the battle to regain Laisuo City went much smoother than expected, they had time to assist the Iron Armor Fortress.
The rapid restoration of the armored fortress made various places more stable.
The more stable situation allows the Supreme Military War Department to use more power, which in turn leads to more stability in various places.
This is a virtuous circle.
On the contrary, it is a vicious circle.
Once this happens, Wang Cheng will have no choice but to survive with his arms broken.
In that case, the losses that the entire Trollian human race will suffer will be far from what they are now.
The key to forming a virtuous cycle is that they quickly found the entrance to the abyss rift and successfully killed the giant monster supporting the existence of the rift.
Therefore, someone in the final army war department has proposed to record Rhodes' first contribution in the "Giant" battle.
Of course, this is still just an opinion draft.
Rhodes is just a freshman who has just entered the academy. He is only sixteen years old. He has recorded such a great contribution, which is enough to be awarded a "Great Medal" and recorded in Trolian's "Great People", alongside those who have been famous for a long time.
Together.
This is somewhat excessive.
Therefore, the commendation has been temporarily postponed until the investigation team has clarified the cause and effect of the entire incident and all the details of Theodore's death in battle, and then the reward will be given based on merit.
Rhodes did not return to the academy, but was taken directly to the King's District, the deepest part of the upper city.
This is his second time here.
The Royal District is the core area of Trolian. There are less than 100,000 people living here, all of whom are the most prominent and important figures in the Royal City, as well as their direct family members who have made significant contributions to mankind.
Viewed from the sky, the royal district is simple, majestic and gorgeous, and every building in the residential area is exquisite, luxurious and well-proportioned. They are always under the protection of the sacred fire and will not be disturbed by the black mist or attacked by monsters.
Being able to live here is everyone’s ultimate dream, but in the end, very few can realize it.
And Rhodes briefly realized this dream.
He was placed in a villa near the castle of the Supreme Military War Department, waiting to be questioned by the investigation team.
However, Sauron told him that this "question" was neutral, so he didn't need to worry and could just repeat the story completely.
Rod was happy that he was finally here no longer considered guilty.
The villa has all the living facilities, and the Royal City Service Department has specially arranged a bunch of maids for him to take charge of his daily life.
This troubled Rhodes a little.
These maids are too professional. Isn’t it a bit too much to take care of just feeding and watering, but also taking care of bathing and wiping buttocks?
The most troublesome thing is that they obviously came with a certain purpose of surveillance, and they used various excuses to take off his clothes as soon as they came up.
Naturally, everything under the clothes was left intact and all was seen.
While he was taking a shower, a maid came in with an excuse and tried to find out if he had anything inside his body.
What's even more outrageous is that when he wanted to sleep, he found someone else under the bed.
After Rhodes finally kicked them out, something was wrong when he lay down on the bed to sleep. When he got up and lifted the quilt, there was actually a row of maids underneath.
They claimed that they were providing floor heating services with the natural body temperature for the distinguished Lord Rhodes, which made Rhodes so angry that his nose almost became crooked.
"If you doubt me, just drag me out and burn me to death. Why do you need to do these tricks? Fortunately, I believed Sauron's lies!"
"Get out, get out of here!"
When the maids saw that Rhodes was really angry, they had no choice but to come out of the closet, makeup mirror, wall panels, ceiling, etc. in dejection, and filed out of the bedroom.
The last maid bowed deeply to Rhodes before leaving.
"I'm sorry, Lord Rhodes, please don't be angry. We are just trying to obtain your hobbies and habits to provide you with services that make you feel more comfortable and to prevent you from having psychological problems in the long battle, which may lead to extremes or damage to your soul.
Black rot, but our skills are too clumsy and have offended you. We are really sorry."
She bowed deeply again.
"We will go back to the School of Nursing to re-study and will definitely provide you with better services next time."
"Good night, Lord Rhodes, please have a good sleep."
She closed the door and walked out gently.
Rhodes scratched his head, as if he had wrongly blamed them. I didn't expect that there was such a service in the royal city.
But he wasn't really angry, it was just that with these people around, he really couldn't enter the dreamland with peace of mind.
"Okay... I'll tell the people in the service department tomorrow and tell them that I'm very satisfied with their service."
The thought passed by in a flash, and Rhodes' mood became excited. He quickly jumped on the bed, made hand gestures, and entered the dream he had been waiting for for a long time.
The faint mist surrounds me, and there is no change in the silent dream.
But the spirit body of the chief dean is missing.
Rhodes felt a sense of disappointment for no reason. He had hoped for a miracle, and the moment he entered the dream, he could still see the figure of the chief dean.
But unfortunately, this is just a dream.
The chief dean has left forever.
Instead, in the northernmost part of the dreamland, on the white marble square, there is a pure white statue.
He is tall, wearing a standard academic robe, holding a staff high with one hand, with gentle eyes and a smile, as if he is encouraging his juniors.
This is Theodore's statue.
Five lines of text are written below in dream language:
May the fire purify my thoughts.
May goodness be surrounded by your fire.
May justice gather like moths because of your light.
May all monsters turn into ashes.
May the sun illuminate all the smiles on the earth.
——Theodore Clement, the greatest holder of the magic spell, the noblest teacher, and the most affectionate person.
