The commanders looked at each other. They originally wanted Armando to use the authority of the First Elder to request support from the Royal City again.
The situation in Storm Castle has deteriorated to such an extent that it is impossible to reverse the situation with just one or two high-level combatants. Either an organized group of high-level combatants, special combatants, or the main army will be dispatched to help. p>
In their imagination, only these three ways can save Storm Castle.
But I didn’t expect His Excellency the First Elder to make such an unimaginable proposal.
Taro from Cloud Village is indeed one of the most dazzling rising stars in recent years. After graduating from Jinworth Academy, he went to fight in various places. He has gone through hundreds of battles and never failed. He has killed tens of thousands of monsters and has lifted many monsters.
There were countless crises. During the Black Tide period, the big bell tower alone guarded the Great Wall of the North, blocking the impact of countless corpses until the Black Tide ended.
After that, Taylor was officially awarded the title of "Great Sword". Many people called him "Little Alan" and hoped that he could grow into Trorian's second Alan in the future.
However, he is currently only a quasi-level combatant.
It is impossible to complete the task of eliminating the source of disaster in the Black Forest under such dangerous circumstances.
It is even more impossible for Mr. Armando to personally provide support.
Without his power, Storm Castle cannot stop so many giant terrors.
Once the remaining psychic cannons are destroyed, the castle can only be abandoned.
As for what Rhodes said, they pretended not to have heard it.
Iron Beard shouted: "First Elder, you can't do this! We'd better ask for support, the situation has exceeded our imagination."
Armando shook his head slightly: "There is no assistance."
"Why not?" Ironbeard glanced at Rhodes: "The crisis in the Trident River area has been resolved."
"Other areas need assistance more." Armando said calmly: "Our combat power is still very tight, and we are not rich enough to provide support to the same area for the third time."
"Yes, but..."
Iron Beard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his square face turned red.
"As soon as you leave, the giant terror will swamp us."
Armando said calmly: "With Rhodes and Xingge here, and more than a thousand elite soldiers in the castle, it won't be that easy."
Tie Xiu's entire face was wrinkled.
"Xingge is still young, and her fire is far less powerful than Lord Qingyu and Lord Jon. Although Rhodes has many abilities and a promising future, his current absolute psychic power is not strong enough to kill the giant terror alone...
…”
Rhodes said hurriedly: "That's right, let me go. The First Elder will stay and guard Storm Castle."
"No!" Ironbeard said decisively: "None of you can leave! The giant terror can only be easily killed with your cooperation. Now recall Tyro, we will defend the Storm Castle, and maybe we can hold on until the Royal City is free.
Rescue us."
A captain shouted: "Yes, this is the safest plan!"
"We don't take any risks."
"The royal city will not ignore us!"
"Shut up!"
Armando clapped his hand with one hand, and a wave of air shocked the entire audience, suppressing all sounds.
"I really want to open your brains and see what's going on inside. Do you think that I, the psychic cannon, Tyro, and Rhodes are all machines that will never wear out? There are tens of thousands of giant terrors outside.
There are more in the forest. If we don't eliminate the source, they will never end. How many can we eliminate? How long can we last?"
His cloudy eyes looked around.
Everyone lowered their eyes, no one dared to look at him.
"The oldest dogma of Trorian tells us that we should never fight a limited war of attrition with endless monsters. We don't know when the royal city will be free. If we stick here, it will be a dead end."
"This is not the safest solution, but the least stable solution."
The first elder's words completely shattered the commander and captains' luck.
They are fundamentally afraid of the Black Forest. They dare not venture into the Black Forest, let alone try to eliminate the unknown source of darkness in the Black Forest. They just want to stay in the light of the fire and wait for the arrival of the person who can solve all problems.
Iron Beard's face turned red, shame and fear emerged at the same time, and he muttered: "Yes, but if you leave, we won't be able to hold on any longer."
Rhodes said for the third time: "I'll go!"
Iron Beard glared at him: "You're going? How can you kill the giant terror if you go? Are we going to beat him and spray shit all over the ground again?"
Rhodes coughed: "You don't have to kill him, you just need to delay it for enough time... Mr. Armando can do this very well. The most important thing is that I have a fire that can send him to the enemy."
Open a portal where I have been."
"The teleportation gate is two-way. If we encounter danger, I can open the teleportation gate and teleport me and Taylor's team back."
"If we find the source of the disaster, we can also open the portal and let Mr. Armando come to support."
Everyone present widened their eyes.
Tie Xiu asked in disbelief: "Do you still have this ability?"
Rhodes smiled and said: "Of course, it's not written in my information?"
Armando glanced at him and said calmly: "It seems that you need to conduct a comprehensive examination again. Many places in your information are unclear. Your fire type's name is also very strange. The white turbidity...can't be seen.
It has nothing to do with spatial ability."
Rhodes did not argue that its name was [Spirit Boat], he was already used to it.
The portal is an ability obtained after [Spirit Boat] is quantified, and can only be used once a month.
The last time I used it was to steal something in the Royal City.
Sure enough, after Rhodes mentioned the ability of portal, his suggestion was approved without any doubt.
Ironbeard informed Taylor of the team's original target location and contact beacon, and gave him a few silent blank runes that could hide his aura.
Rhodes set off immediately.
Watching his figure flying out of the city, leaving the firelight and disappearing into the black mist, Armando didn't look back until he could no longer be seen.
He instinctively felt that the biggest change in Trolian in the past millennium was about to occur. Everything that had happened in recent years was unprecedented, and even in the long history, it was difficult to find similarities.
This year's hundreds of days of motionless stars is one of them, and it seems to herald some kind of ominous omen.
Past experience gradually became ineffective, and Armando felt a little powerless.
The only thing that can make him feel at ease is the endless emergence of new stars in recent years.
I hope.
Armando took one last look at the direction in which Rhodes was leaving.
You can hold up the future of mankind.
——
——
Under the boundless black fog, huge black shadows passed silently. Except for the faint rustling, there was no sound here.
If it was a year ago, Rhodes would probably be scared to death if he saw this scene.
But now, he just silently crossed them and rushed forward.
The silent blank rune greatly concealed his aura, preventing the monsters around him from noticing him, while the red tear stone helped him resist the erosion of the black mist and reduce the consumption of human nature.
Rhodes held the astrolabe in his hand and determined the direction according to its guidance.
It didn't take long for him to see the legendary black forest.
It was a large area of darkness. The entire forest seemed to have been burned by fire. It was pitch black. Thick black fog gathered in the forest. Countless black shadows were hidden in it, making the place look like a place of terror.
The place of death.
Rhodes did not hesitate and stepped directly into the forest.
The density of the black mist here was quite high, compressing his sight range to within five hundred yards.
But Rhodes' speed did not slow down, and he shuttled between the black trees like a phantom.
There were a lot of little terrors in the forest. Rhodes did not avoid them. He condensed a big sword with stardust, swung it wildly, and carved a path.
But if he encounters giant terrors, Rhodes will avoid them.
Not only are these creatures thick-skinned, but they also provide fewer and fewer souls. Killing them is a waste of time.
This is one of the reasons why Rhodes so strongly requests support for the team in the Black Forest.
At least there is a soul here.
The complex terrain in the forest did not affect Rhodes, and the little terrors everywhere did not slow down Rhodes' speed.
Rhodes's spiritual energy now exceeds 600 kilometres. It condenses into a dazzling sword light on the Stardust Great Sword, breaking through the little terror's psionic defense of less than 100 kilometres, just like chopping melons and vegetables. p>
Within a moment, Rhodes had arrived at the predetermined location.
This is the origin of the black fog discovered by the observer team.
In their original calculation, as long as they destroyed this place, they could interfere with the formation of the Terror, thereby reducing the pressure on Storm Castle.
But the facts show that the Terror is not a monster generated based on the natural environment of the Black Forest.
Generally speaking, the first thing born in the black mist is the dark soul, and the dark soul further condenses the black mist to form the monster body.
The strength of its body depends entirely on the strength of its soul.
The fact that the soul strength of giant terrors has decreased indicates that their bodies were created by another unknown entity. After being created, the black mist gave birth to dark souls in the bodies of giant terrors.
As time goes by, the soul gradually grows.
And as too many giant terrors began to attack the city, some terrors whose souls had not yet fully grown also appeared.
This also shows that this weird siege did not occur under normal circumstances.
Rhodes had some doubts in his heart. This was not the first time that this went against common sense.
But he is not very sure. The first thing to do now is to solve the crisis and gain some souls.
There was no one at the scheduled location, but there were huge signs of damage. Trees fell to the ground, and there was a big hole in the middle, proving that they had already been there.
Rhodes took out the beacon, input his psychic energy, and a light bomb dragged a long tail into the air, exploding into a flashing red pattern.
This special light can penetrate the dark fog and be seen by people far away, so it is often used as battlefield communication. Flares and beacons are such products.
Rhodes waited patiently for a moment.
Sure enough, a white light also flashed in the mid-air in the distance.
During this period of time, Rhodes improved his battlefield knowledge and was no longer a novice who knew nothing. Based on the pattern of white light, he interpreted that Taylor's team had received instructions and was looking for the source of the disaster.
It is not a good place to stop, they can meet further ahead.
There are a few separate bits of information.
First, they have not encountered monsters above the strong level so far.
Second, they have found some clues to the source and are following them.
Three, the team is in good condition.
Rhodes was certain in his mind and accelerated towards the direction they were pointing.
Along the way, he was like a god descending to earth, killing all the terrors in the forest. The shining stardust sword cut through the darkness, bringing a long-lost feeling to the forest shrouded in black mist all year round.
Mingguang.
The killing did not slow down Rhodes' speed, and even made him faster with his spiritual energy surging.
Countless black lines flew from all directions, and the numbers under the pupils began to beat rapidly again.
There are almost endless terrors. They can jump out from any corner and seem to be endless.
Rhodes almost wanted to live here. In a way, this was the perfect place to settle down.
Half an hour later, Rhodes had entered the depths of the forest. When he was hesitating whether to stop and take out the beacon, the Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted in his mind.
"There is divinity, there is divinity!"
Rhodes was suddenly startled and immediately realized that the source of the disaster was nearby, and asked urgently: "Which way?"
The Book of Knowledge angrily said: "How do I know which way? Star Square only shows that this is possible in the future!"
Rhodes looked around hurriedly, but didn't see anything unusual.
I searched twice more and found nothing suspicious.
When I was at a loss what to do, I suddenly thought of the skill I used when searching for the hidden king ant in the Trident River - the psychic tracking of the Light Platform.
It can distinguish subtle differences in spiritual energy and find similar spiritual energy nearby.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
If the Terror is really created by some kind of being, then they must have some similarities and may be tracked.
Without further ado, Rhodes took action as soon as he was told, and nailed a terror to the ground with a backhand sword.
Before it died, I opened my fingers, pointed at it, and used "Psychic Tracking".
In an instant, countless blurry haloes appeared in front of my eyes, each halo representing a psychic entity.
Most of them are the same, meaning they are all Terrors.
Some are particularly huge, and they are giant terrors.
Rhodes looked around and saw that the halos were connected into one piece, blurry and nothing could be seen clearly.
How to tell?
When he was anxious, he suddenly noticed a shadow flashing in the distance, like a dark cloud covering the halo.
No, there is something else here!
Rhodes immediately rushed in that direction.
The shadow flew towards the depths of the forest, with Rhodes following closely behind.
He exerted his speed to the extreme. The powerful force brought by 600 thousand moments of spiritual energy cracked the ground. The boots of bones further strengthened the impact of his footsteps, pushing Rhodes' figure to rush deep into the forest like lightning.
Go.
The horrors on the road could not pose any hindrance to him at all. With a swing of his sword, he cut them into two pieces like a stream of light.
After chasing for who knows how long, Rhodes suddenly found that the halo around him was much less, and the shadow suddenly disappeared.
What's going on?
Lost it?
Rhodes immediately turned off psychic tracking and opened the eyes of the soul.
His sight penetrated the black fog, and he found that this place was a very vast open space, and even the trees had disappeared.
A vague soul walked towards him. Its soul body was lifeless and its soul core was pure black.
There is no doubt that this is a monster.
But the strange thing is that Rhodes can't see clearly its soul ripples and can't tell its strength, and its psychic energy is restrained and almost invisible, just like the lowest battlefield dust.
Rhodes mentioned the psychic power and walked towards it carefully.
Soon, he saw its shape clearly.
This is a fully armed knight, wearing silver armor, but the armor is covered with black rust, and only the long sword in his hand is still shining.
Is this... a fallen person from ancient times?
Rhodes held the sword tightly in his right hand, and pointed the tip of his left index finger at the knight.
Brush!
A star shuttle shot out like lightning, hitting the knight right in the heart.
But the next second, Rhodes discovered that it was just an afterimage.
Brush!
A shining long sword from behind slashed towards his neck rapidly, and an instantaneous burst of spiritual energy washed over Rhodes' perception, making all the hair on his body stand on end.
Level 10 psychic power!
This is a powerful monster!
Rhodes hurriedly turned sideways, moved forward, raised his sword to block, and his spiritual energy reached its maximum in an instant.
Dang!
The long sword with level 10 psionic power instantly cut off the sword with level 9 psionic power, broke through Rhodes's urgently condensed stardust shield, penetrated his psychic defense, and hit his neck.<
/p>
Ka.
The sword edge slid along Rhode's neck, and he was not injured at all.
"Soul Defense": Resist a fatal injury.
Rhodes' hands were placed in front of the knight's mask.
Star Shuttle!
Urgent!
Bang!
Ten star shuttles exploded directly on the knight's face, blowing away its knight's helmet, revealing the face of a living corpse underneath.
The living corpse was not harmed by the explosion, and the second sword struck Rhodes again.
Rhodes did not dodge, he used all his strength to gather the star shuttle with his fingers, and rushed straight forward.
Brush!
The sword edge condensed with level 10 spiritual energy slid past Rhodes' body again, and ten fully-stated star shuttles hit the face of the living corpse again - exactly at the moment it took action.
Bang!
The huge explosion drowned the living corpses, and the scattered starlight illuminated the surroundings.
The living corpse knelt down on the spot, the long sword fell to the ground, the spiritual energy was stagnant and chaotic, and a big hole appeared in the soul.
Sure enough!
The Fallen's use of psychic powers is similar to that of humans. When attacking with psychic powers, the defense will be very weak.
Thoughts flashed by, and Rhodes didn't hesitate for even half a second. He took a step forward like lightning, thrust his translucent right hand into the hole of its soul, and grasped the strings of its soul.
Bang.
There was an explosion that seemed to come from the void, and the body of the living corpse fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut off.
