The western front was established to mainly guard against the monsters in the Castle of the Soul Eater King.
Now that the Castle of the Soul Eater King has been cleared, the pressure on the western front has been greatly reduced, the core legion's flank threat has disappeared, and the combat power is not so tense.
Horus only left seven second-level combatants, plus Jon's Spear Chapter, Lilivi's Lily Leaf Chapter, and Rhodes' Black Chapter, and the rest went to support the storm.
The gate is closed.
Rhodes returned to the royal city.
Lucian, the chief adjudicator of the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office, welcomed Rhodes’ arrival.
Although the adjudicators responsible for maintaining internal order and handling internal disputes among mankind are very powerful, they are generally not as high as high-level combatants.
Humanity's strongest combat power is usually external rather than internal.
The only high-level combatant in the Internal Affairs Judgment Office is Lucian himself.
The most important thing in capturing doomsday cultists is not force, but brains.
Only when encountering the most difficult enemy will Lucien himself join the battle.
Generally speaking, whenever Lucian appears, he usually has an overwhelming advantage. It is difficult for doomsday cultists to practice and they lack resources. Unless they are secrets hidden within human beings, they cannot have too much strength.
But this time the operation is different. Their target is the last effective force of the Polluter sect - the Grand Patriarch Asa, six doomsday bishops, and several doomsday believers.
They are not weak in strength and possess semi-artifacts like the Book of Destiny.
Although Lucian was not afraid, they hid deep in the sewer.
The sewers of the royal city have always been a dangerous place, and the depths are even more dangerous. If the monsters sleeping below are disturbed, unimaginable consequences may occur.
What's more, Lucian knows the unknown space below the royal city.
Therefore, this pursuit mission was full of difficulties from the beginning.
If it weren't for the continued pressure from several guardians in the royal city, and later the participation of the White Tower, they would have given up long ago.
But now the situation is different. When the news of Guardian Lilivi's death came, Lucian knew that he had made a big mistake.
These human scum must die.
Fortunately, the White Tower has completely locked their position, and the great prophet Ietta personally joined the hunting team to ensure that the target will not be lost and will not be affected by the Book of Destiny.
The only problem is that the depths of the sewers are very dangerous, and two high-level combatants may not be able to suppress them.
The arrival of Rhodes at this time is just right.
——
Xiacheng District.
Hammer Street.
Rhodes met Lucien and Ietta in a big room.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn, Lucian's face was gloomy, and Ietta's face was stiff.
Sewer maps about as tall as a person are piled on the table, and countless lines are twisted together like twists, making people dizzy.
Lucian nodded slightly to Rhodes, with a smile on his face.
"Good night, Lord Rhodes, may the light of fire always illuminate your path forward."
Rhodes bowed slightly: "Good night, Your Majesty the Chief Judge, may justice gather like moths because of your light, and may evil retreat like wild beasts fleeing the burning forest."
Iyeta's stiff face twitched slightly, as if he was smiling.
"Rod, you have grown a lot."
His words obviously did not only refer to spiritual growth. Rhodes was slightly surprised and said in surprise: "Your Excellency Iyetta, we haven't met a few times, right?"
Iyeta tilted his head slightly, and his bright forehead flashed into Rhodes' eyes.
"You have only met me three times, but I have seen you since the moment you entered Jinworth College."
Rhodes felt a chill in his heart and thought about many things in an instant.
It turns out that he came into the sight of the royal city's senior officials earlier than he thought.
In the past, he might have been a little scared and panicked, but now, he only felt calm and calm.
"Thanks for taking care of me."
He bowed slightly.
"I hope you haven't been disappointed."
Iyeta shook his head and said: "Sir Rhodes, you will never disappoint. In this operation, we will eliminate the doomsday cultists and regain the Book of Destiny. The teacher has already foreseen the last piece of the puzzle required for the prophecy of the source.
, the core of the soul related to destiny is related to the Book of Destiny."
Lucien said in a hoarse voice: "So, this operation is more important than any previous one. It can not only dig out this cancer of mankind completely, but also clear away the fog of mankind's destiny and guide our future direction."<
/p>
Rhodes nodded. These maggots should have died long ago. If they made some contribution to mankind before they died, they would have deserved their death.
"Where are they exactly? How should we hunt them?"
Lucian dug out a worn-out drawing from the pile of paper.
"Here, Asa and his disciples are hiding in a cave about three thousand yards deep. They have entered the very depths of the sewer. It is no longer the sewer of the royal city in the conventional sense."
Lucian pointed to the Giant language on the edge of the drawing, and Rhodes recognized that those words meant "Omir".
"The Trorian King City originally originated from the city built by the Giant King Omer in the Second Age. The sewer system built by the Giant Clan was very large. The arrogant Giant craftsmen showed off their skills to their heart's content, but they were unaware of the aliens known as the Silver Clan.
People are digging deeper tunnels right under their noses."
"The depth of this tunnel has not yet been determined. It is not known where the tunnel leads, and it is even less clear why they built such a tunnel. The aliens perished long before the cataclysm of the second era, and the truth has long been buried.
In history."
Lucien paused for a moment and continued.
"However, we have discovered that at the bottom of this tunnel, there is some kind of unknown and terrifying space, similar to the existence of an abyss."
"After deliberation, the Royal City believes that it must not be disturbed. Therefore, we must kill it with one strike in this operation, and we must not let a doomsday cultist escape."
Rhodes thought for a moment and asked: "Your Excellency Lucian, do the Doomsday Cultists know this information?"
Lucian shook his head slowly.
"I don't think they know, otherwise Asa would have triggered the abyss and caused disaster. But if they continue to go down, they will definitely know, so our time is limited."
He pressed his finger on the center of the map.
"Here is where they are currently. This cave is very hidden. It is almost impossible for normal people to find it, but we have the White Tower."
Ieta said calmly: "Everything that exists has traces. They could have delayed it for a while, but the Book of Destiny's interference with the prophecy suddenly relaxed, allowing us to find the location."
Lucien said with a gloomy face: "We didn't know why before and thought that the Book of Destiny had reached its limit, but now, we know that they have invested their power into the Castle of the Soul Eater King."
The room became quiet.
Lilivi's death is a heavy blow to everyone. First-level combatants are Trorian's top combat power. Losing any one of them is a huge loss to humanity.
After a few seconds of silence, Lucian continued: "I plan to divide the troops into three groups, enter the sewer from here, use these three routes to act separately, reach the very depths of the sewer, and launch attacks from these three directions at the same time."
As he spoke, Lucian moved his fingers across the map, explaining each route in detail.
This is the optimal route formulated by their most proficient sewer personnel and scholars after careful research. It is the shortest, safest and most unexpected route.
The sewers are extremely complex, and Lucian talked about even the simplest route for a quarter of an hour.
"This is our action plan. I will send you a detailed step-by-step guide later. We will keep in touch at any time..."
Rhodes frowned and looked for a while, then suddenly said: "That's wrong."
The two of them turned their eyes away.
Rhodes pointed to a line on the map: "Why should I walk through this corridor?"
Lucian frowned and glanced: "This is the Hawera Pass, the shortest route across the surface."
"Here, the north passage is closer, why not take it?"
"Those with a large group of poisonous insect nests are very troublesome..."
"I cleaned it up last time. The poisonous insects won't grow so fast."
Lucien looked at him in surprise, and then he remembered that the person in front of him was known as the King of Sewers.
Rhodes didn't pay attention to his eyes at all, and kept drawing on the drawing with his fingers, changing their route wildly.
"This, this, this, and here are all unreasonable. It is obviously faster here. Although it is close here, there are a group of fart bugs. I am not afraid, but the team members will be stunned by the stink. And here..."
After a while, the entire route was changed beyond recognition.
Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. Although I am not very familiar with the routes deep in the sewers, I have done some research."
Lucian was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He let out a long breath and showed a trace of relief on his old face: "You really never disappoint."
Iyetta was embarrassed and said with a smile: "This is the king of the sewers. You miscalculated, Lucien."
"No, no." Rhodes interrupted hurriedly: "Those are all rumors. I just did some research and went to the sewer a few times."
Lucian nodded deeply: "Yes, I made a miscalculation."
He stood up and put on the robe of the chief judge.
"Let's go, these doomsday believers have lived long enough, it's time to put an end to their doomsday."
——
——
The hunting team had already been prepared, and all supplies and medicines were ready. The three of them led three hunting teams into the sewers from three directions. Expensive psychic communicators kept them in contact at all times.
Rhodes has twenty elite judges in his team. Although their combat level is not as high as Rhodes, they are all battle-hardened, experienced, and very familiar with sewers.
The leader of the team is known as a know-it-all in the sewers. When he saw Rhodes’ young face, he immediately concluded that his title of King of the Sewers was just forged.
Even if he is a rising star with extraordinary talents and numerous resources, at his age, how many times can he go to the sewers?
He had made up his mind that even if it made Rhodes unhappy, he would still point out the correct way to pass the sewer.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the sewers, Rhodes, who looked ordinary and had no aura of a strong man, would undergo a huge change in an instant.
I saw that he had a calm face, sharp eyes, neither arrogance nor impatience at the corners of his mouth, a steady and measured brow, long and delicate steps, a majestic tiger body, and the aura of a peerless strong man, which made people unable to help but worship him.<
/p>
Sure enough, Rhodes ran rampant along the way, completely ignoring the possible dangers caused by the complicated sewers. The wind was blowing under his feet, and he walked through the avenues and alleys without any hesitation, as if he had returned to his own home. p>
The vicious monster hidden in the sewer did not bother him in the slightest. He flashed the sword in his right hand, cutting off the monster's head, and shot wildly with the star shuttle in his left hand, blasting the monster to pieces.
For many people, the sewers, which are like mountains of swords and seas of fire, are like their own backyard in Rhodes.
While strolling in the courtyard, they went straight from the upper floor to the bottom floor.
If the surrounding environment wasn't so depressing, they could have just called it an outing.
The lowest level of the sewer is close to the appearance of a primitive cave. In the absolute darkness, their dim light can only illuminate a small area around them.
A huge sound of water roared in the depths of darkness. It was the eternal river that ran through the royal city. Its upper reaches were far away in the deep dark plains of the north, and its lower reaches reached the putrid swamp thousands of yards away. Half of the filth in the royal city was covered with water.
It was taken away by it.
And above their heads were dead branches twined like vines.
These are the roots of the holy white tree in the royal city. It extends very deep underground, but many parts are dead.
There are three rivers passing through the Royal City. The Eternal River is the only river that has not been purified by the Holy White Tree, and it is also the deepest underground river.
Its water is extremely dark, with countless filth, garbage, and corpses floating there.
No one knows what lurks under the water, and no one wants to know.
It was very dangerous to walk along such a river, so Rhodes took them to avoid it.
"We have arrived at the scheduled location."
Rod said.
"Take a rest here and wait for the arrival of the other two teams."
The team members looked at me and I looked at you. They didn’t even take a breath along the way and just left.
But since it was Rhodes who spoke, they immediately obeyed without any conditions.
Along the way, his performance has won the respect of all of them. Everyone is sighing that the new star is worthy of being a new star. Probably only those who surpass ordinary people in all aspects can stand at the forefront of mankind and lead everyone forward.<
/p>
Rhodes also closed his eyes and waited quietly for Ietta and Lucian.
His knowledge only ends here. If he goes deeper, he will leave the category of sewers.
He had to wait patiently. In this operation, he must wipe out all those disgusting maggots and scatter their ashes in front of Lilivi's statue. The person who laid the foundation stone had little interaction with him, but left a deep impression on him.
Madam.
At this moment, the book of knowledge in my mind suddenly spoke.
——
——
In a gloomy cave.
A dark figure sat high on the rock. The big book in his hand was turning without wind, and the pages with many holes in them fell clattering down.
A line of red text was slowly written on the paper.
"Rhodes has arrived deep in the sewers, preparing to hunt down his enemies, but he doesn't know what fate is waiting for him."
"Hahahaha!"
The shadow laughed wildly.
"It's finally here. As expected, your hatred has blinded your eyes, and I will see hope of making a comeback in this desperate situation."
