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!
Rhodes melancholy took the psychic carriage and returned to Fanxing Town from the special line - due to the war, the distribution range of monsters has changed greatly, and the previous route can no longer be used.
After more than two months, Rhodes returned to this familiar area again.
Fanxing Town has undergone earth-shaking changes. At a glance, it is full of buildings of different heights. All the barren areas have been developed. The prosperous residential areas have been connected to the outer defense line. The newly built streets and alleys are full of people. Shouting, cheering, and yelling mixed together to form the most beautiful symphony of mankind.
Molly did a great job.
Rhodes' depressed mood suddenly eased a lot.
After calming down, he began to think about why the king and Horus arranged this.
There is no doubt that he has proven his combat ability by successfully recapturing Fanxing Town.
Although the Black Legion and the Sisters are not large in number, the Royal City can allocate new battle groups to them.
Although the area between Fanxing Town, Star City and Royal City is vast, it does not pose a fatal threat.
There are no security issues.
So why is this?
Rhodes thought hard for a while and suddenly thought of something.
When he was in the White Tower, the great prophet Yinyeta predicted that he would encounter a fatal threat in the future, and this threat came from the people close to him.
Most of the people close to Rhodes are in Fanxing Town.
They want me to detect danger!
Rhodes thought of this possibility for a moment.
That's right.
It must be like this.
Otherwise, their abnormal behavior cannot be explained.
So, who could it be?
Rhodes began to think nervously again.
He thought of Molly immediately.
There is no doubt that Molly is the person closest to him now, even to the point of negative distance.
In terms of closeness, no one can compare to her.
So, will she be the one who poses a fatal threat to me?
Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He got out of the car quietly, blended into the crowd, and came outside the administrative hall of Fanxing Town.
In the hall, countless staff are busy, everyone is working hard, people coming and going are hurrying, and the whole scene is extremely busy.
Rhodes saw Molly at a glance.
She sat at the top, still wearing the gold-rimmed glasses, her long hair pulled up high, and her delicate face still only had a serious expression.
Dozens of people stood in front of her dejectedly.
Molly scolded them for a while, then picked up the pointer and hit each of them ten times on their palms.
It was a really hard beating, and Rhodes cried when he saw a man being beaten.
The ominous feeling became heavier, and Rhodes began to worry.
What if Molly is really the one?
He was too absorbed in thinking until a person discovered his existence.
"Lord Rhodes!"
In an instant, the entire government office focused its attention.
When they saw Rhode's face clearly, a huge commotion swept through Fanxing Town.
——
——
At night, Rod returned to his room exhausted.
Only to find that Molly was already waiting for him in the room.
"Molly."
Rhodes said tiredly.
"I'm a little tired, I don't want to..."
The warm and slightly fragrant breath hit his face, and the moist softness sealed his next words.
——
The next few days.
Rhodes sadly discovered that Molly's biggest threat to him might be to make him drain himself to death.
She shouldn't be the one who made the prophecy.
Rhodes then checked many people and found nothing suspicious.
From this point of view, the most likely candidate is Mavis.
Only the curse on her and the characteristics she carries may put him in danger.
However, Rhodes is very confident.
He has the Stone of Resurrection, so even if he accidentally dies, he can still be resurrected.
And human nature can resist all pollution and corruption, and he does not have to worry about his soul deteriorating.
He still has 79 points of divinity, and with the Stone of Resurrection he already holds, he can die eight times in a row.
Rhodes didn't believe anything could kill him so many times.
Therefore, after searching for a few days, Rhodes gave up and returned to daily training, occasionally taking care of the development of Fanxing Town.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
However, the current system of Fanxing Town is quite complete. As an acting mayor, Molly is very good. Her administrative ability is beyond imagination. Her characteristics are meticulousness and completeness. There will be no mistakes in anything she does.
For the current Fanxing Town, Molly is the best mayor.
Rhodes watched Fanxing Town prosper day by day, and couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that this was all his future divinity.
He is not in a hurry now.
The recent recovery speed of the Book of Knowledge has obviously accelerated. Once it completes this stage of soul recovery, they can hunt monsters in the spirit world and other remains of the ancient god Heragetos.
Hum.
I'm not willing to kill those weak monsters.
Even if you kill tens of thousands of them, you won't get many soulless souls, which is far inferior to hunting powerful monsters.
[Star Shuttle] There are still three great souls left to reach the complete state.
During this period of time, Rhodes deeply felt the power of this star. The star thread is simply the most perfect weapon. He is very much looking forward to what changes will happen to the star thread when the [Star Shuttle] reaches its full state. Moreover, this star is very powerful, and the soul strength it provides is very high. It may allow him to break through the ninth level of spiritual power in one fell swoop, enter the realm of the strong, and become a third-level combatant.
Level nine psionic power requires 500 kilometres of psionic strength.
And he is now at 221 thousand ticks, still 279 thousand ticks away.
The gap is a bit big... Rhodes thought, [Star Shuttle] might not be enough, I have to light new stars.
Well, there are still four stars that have not been "quantified".
If the corresponding source material can be found and "quantified", the intensity will also increase dramatically.
Rhodes glanced at it.
[Frigid Blue] requires the Ashes of the Ancient God, [Justice Execution] requires the Divine Blood Gem, [Elegy of the Spirit] requires the Son of the Star, and [Sense of the Gods] requires the Skull of the God.
They are all things I have never heard of.
Where can I find it?
Just when Rhodes was worried.
Outside Fanxing Town.
A blood-red figure emerged from the depths of the black mist, and a chaotic, hoarse and illusory voice sounded in the void.
