However, the Book of Knowledge warned him not to be careless. This invasion of Chaos Demons was a bit strange.
While it was injured, it was inexplicably affected by the feedback from the black fog source and invaded the dreamland.
Theoretically, this is not impossible, but it is too much of a coincidence to be suspicious.
There may be some unknown danger hidden in this, so be careful.
In addition, the Book of Knowledge also told him that too many soulless souls have been consumed to repair the dream recently. In addition to the king's soul, source, and soul firewood, igniting the "Song of Life" also requires 7.6 billion soulless souls.
.
Currently, there are less than 100 million soulless souls stored in the dream. Rhodes had better hurry up and hunt monsters to harvest enough souls.
Rhodes was a little worried. As a special combatant, he is Trolian's highest combat power and a strategic force. During the war, he cannot leave the royal city at will and must obey the arrangements of the Palace of Fire.
Now, the battle has started again, but he has not received the battle order yet.
Except for Xing Ge, all other special combatants have already rushed to the battlefield.
It is definitely not possible to act without authorization. Rhodes has already vomited in the sewers of the royal city, and for him now, the benefits are very small.
There are not even 100 million soulless souls left in one trip.
The monsters in the sewers are almost wiped out by him, and the deeper abyss cannot be entered.
Horus also warned him not to fight too often.
Killing monsters will bring about dark backlash and pollute the soul.
Even though his soul's self-purification ability is extremely strong, it is still limited.
Once the soul is contaminated, combat effectiveness will be affected, and special combatants must put all their strength on the real battlefield.
Just when Rhodes didn't know what to do, the Flame Crown logo on his collar finally burned.
This shows that he has entered the battle order and will receive combat orders immediately.
But to his surprise, the fire continued to expand, forming the face of the king in front of his eyes.
"King!"
"Your Majesty!"
Many people knelt down in the training ground.
They are all potential newcomers found by Molly, and have just become reserve members of the Black Legion.
Rhodes has now opened up his mind. As long as there are enough resources, the more members the better.
The previous method of recruiting only powerful or useful members is not feasible. The cycle of transforming into a dream apostle is too long and the efficiency is too low.
It is better to recruit more potential seeds and become reserve members of the Black War Group.
When they are completely transformed into "Dream Apostles" and meet the basic standards of the Black Legion, they will be promoted to full members.
If someone performs particularly well and is particularly helpful to Rhodes, he or she can become an elite player.
Of course, old people like Mavis, Annabeth, and Cassian are all captain-level.
Molly became the deputy leader, Rhodes' right-hand man, responsible for all routine affairs in the group.
Wang looked around and smiled slightly: "Little Rhodes, it seems that you have recruited a lot of people. I originally thought that the Black War Group was your harem group. Unless you are young, beautiful and capable beauties, no one else can enter.
."
Rhodes' face darkened: "King, you are slandering me. Don't you know what my quality is?"
Wang nodded seriously.
"Of course I know, the person with the highest number of complaints in the Disciplinary Committee, a mutant who can't control the hands of beautiful women, a super voyeur and the holder of illegal photo crystals."
Fortunately, Rhodes opened the psychic barrier in time to cover himself and cut off the sound, otherwise his reputation as the leader would be used to mop the floor.
"Forget the previous points, I will never recognize the super voyeur and illegal photo crystal holder!"
Wang smiled and said: "Stop struggling, your teacher Sauron was caught secretly recording Olivia taking a shower, and he confessed to you immediately. In order to avoid the impact, we did not publicize this matter.
."
Rhodes' eyes widened immediately: "Have you never thought that Sauron is using me as a shield? How could I do such a thing?"
"Little Rod."
Wang looked at him seriously.
"Your psychic powers are very soft, but your mouth is very hard. We found Olivia's photo crystal in your living room, and the photo was very good... Uh, I mean, you went too far,
Fortunately, Olivia has already gone to the front line of Crow Fortress. When she comes back, she will kill you."
Rhodes covered his face, knowing that he could not explain clearly, he sighed and said: "King, please send me out quickly."
Wang smiled and said: "Isn't this coming?"
He paused and his tone became serious.
"I have a very important task for you. Lister, the commander of the Survey Corps, returned to the royal city half a day ago, and he brought a very important message."
"About 3,700 kilometers southwest of the royal city, he and his team found traces of suspected human activity, but further investigation was blocked and a special combatant was required to accompany them."
"I think you are very suitable for this task. They have completed the repairs and are waiting for you at the third gate of the outer city. You can set off now."
Rhodes was stunned by Wang's words and asked: "Have we found other human survivors? What traces are they? 3700 thousand yards, am I the only one to go? But I haven't stepped into the law yet.
In the ranks of warriors, they can only be regarded as quasi-special combatants at most, won't it affect the mission? Also, don't we need to prepare anything to go to such a dark depth?"
Wang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, there are no king-level monsters among the enemies, otherwise they would not send out only one special-level combatant. I believe in your strength. There will be no problem in dealing with non-king-level monsters. As for any traces, you can do it face to face."
Ask Liszt."
Rhodes was certain in his heart and suddenly had the confidence.
Without the help of dreams, he has no confidence that he can defeat a king-level monster.
But below the king level, with his methods, there is nothing he can't handle.
"I understand, please don't worry, I will bring the good news back to the royal city."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Okay, you can go over there. They have brought all the supplies, so you don't have to worry about this."
After saying that, the flame dissipated with a pop.
Rhodes unlocked the psychic barrier, and Annabeth immediately ran over and asked with bright eyes: "Are you going to fight?"
The reserve team members all gathered around. Although Kashan was still training, her attention was obviously focused here.
Only Mavis was sitting in the corner, wondering what he was thinking.
Rhodes waved his hand: "Go back to training quickly. This mission is very dangerous. I will go alone."
The team members dispersed in disappointment, but Annabeth grabbed Rhodes and said, "I can definitely go, right?"
Rhodes shook his head. The pollution in the depths of darkness is extremely strong. The concentration of black fog is too high and the danger is extremely high. The fewer people there, the better.
Although Annabeth is very fast and has the ability to assist, she is not suitable for this trip.
"Train at home, and when I come back, we should be able to go on the next combat mission together."
Annabeth's expression looked very disappointed, but she quickly cheered up: "I know, I just take this time to hit the seventh level of magic liberation. When you come back, you will see a brand new me.
”
Rhodes smiled and said: "I'm looking forward to it."
——
——
Outer city area.
The third city gate.
In the bustling crowd, Rhodes saw Liszt's bald head at a glance.
He wears the standard Survey Corps military uniform, a gray and black robe, with the Survey Corps emblem printed on the front and back - a pair of outstretched wings under the crossed swords.
"Captain Liszt."
Rhodes crossed the distance of dozens of yards in one step and came to him.
A smile suddenly appeared on Liszt's face: "Your Excellency Rhodes!"
They once fought side by side in Star City. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they are still known to each other.
Liszt reached out and held Rhodes's hands - his other hand was broken in the Battle of Star City.
"Let's set off now."
He said with an eager tone, his eyes bright and full of expectation.
"To find our compatriots."
Rhodes could understand his mood. In fact, he was also very excited. Trorian had been fighting independently in the darkness for eighteen hundred years, and now he could finally see other survivors under the terrifying black mist. How could anyone say that?
Not excited?
However, mere excitement was not enough. Rhodes asked: "Where are the supplies?"
Liszt kept pointing to his side: "Here, the potion, phlogiston, lantern, afterglow, afterglow, red tear stone, necessary food, and the bell of silence are all a hundred times the amount."
Rhodes was stunned by the hill in front of him. He originally thought it was a warehouse or something.
"So many?"
Liszt nodded slightly: "The depths of darkness are very dangerous, with thick black mist, powerful erosion, and countless unknowns. We must be careful. When the king told me that he decided to send you to accompany him, we were ready.
Can your space capacity accommodate so many supplies?"
Liszt's words were very simple, but Rhodes was inexplicably moved because he used the general term "space ability" instead of "stupid", which made him feel many times taller in an instant.
"No problem."
Rhodes agreed immediately, immediately drew the symbol of the dream, and used the dream ritual to teleport the pile of hills into the dream - this was his method of loading large quantities of goods.
Liszt said with admiration: "As expected of you, no wonder the king sent you out. No one is more suitable for traveling far than you."
Rhodes felt good about him and said with a smile: "Let's go quickly."
Liszt nodded slightly, waved his hand, and three more people wearing the same clothes walked out of the shadows.
"This is our companion on this trip, the most elite high-level investigator in the Survey Corps."
The three of them nodded to Rhodes.
A bearded man said: "I am No. 7."
A one-eyed dragon said: "I am No. 9."
The last one had half of his head cut off. Half of his head was deflated and looked very scary: "I am No. 19."
Rhodes asked in surprise: "You only have numbers but no names?"
Bearded No. 7 respectfully replied: "Your Excellency, Son of Fire, there are many unknown taboos in the depths of darkness. We'd better not use names to avoid being subjected to horrific curses and unknown changes."
No. 19, with half his head, said: "We are away from home all year round and often call each other by numbers. We have forgotten our names. Numbers are our names."
Liszt smiled and said: "Sir Rhodes, I also have a number. After we go out, we don't use names, we use numbers... My number is No. 1, and you are No. 0. This is exclusive to the 'guests'."
/p>
Rhodes is not very happy, 01 sounds weird.
But the principles of the Survey Corps are forged through blood and sacrifice, so it's best to follow what they say.
"Okay then..."
"Let's go."
Liszt turned around and walked out of the city gate.
He couldn't wait any longer, an inexplicable desire called to him.
Trorian has been lonely in this dark world for too long, and this fear of loneliness has penetrated deeply into the soul of every Trorian.
For more than a thousand years, Trorian has been looking for his compatriots all the time, eager to hear the voices of the same kind in this boundless darkness.
But it wasn't until now that they found a clue.
The investigation team rushed to the southwest with enthusiasm.
Rhodes was surprised to find that their psychic level was only between level 10 and 11, and the group leader Liszt was only at level 12, but their speed was not slower than him, and they seemed to be able to do it with ease.
Liszt praised: "Sir Rhodes, you are the best at long-distance travel among the high-level combatants I have seen. They can only bully people with their high psionic bursts, and they cannot outrun us over long distances." p>
Rod missed Annabell a little and asked: "Can't we ride horses?"
Liszt shook his head: "Of course not. When the distance from Trolian exceeds 1,000,000 yards, the spiritual lamp cannot stop the erosion of the black fog. The spiritual horse will be corrupted. We can only use long-distance travel.
."
Rhodes asked worriedly: "Do we need many days to cover a distance of 3,700 thousand yards?"
Liszt smiled and said: "No, the route and map are already there. We ran it once, we just repeat the original route, it will be enough in one or two days."
No. 7 said: "If it is land reclamation and there is no map recorded on the astrolabe, it may take a month or even two months. We need to carefully explore the surroundings little by little and avoid dangers before we can move forward."
No. 9 said: "We have been exploring this line for six months before we reached such a deep position."
Rhodes felt relieved now. Special combatants, as long as they don't sprint with all their strength, it doesn't matter if they run for ten days and ten nights.
If it were not for the protection of the black mist, the distance of 3,700 thousand yards would only take half a day.
About an hour later, they crossed Trolian's outermost defense line and left the influence of the Holy Fire.
After another half an hour, Liszt put out the spiritual lamp.
It is very dangerous to use a spiritual lamp in the depths of darkness. It may alert many terrifying entities that should not be alerted and turn it into a moving target.
Rhodes took out three times the red tear stones, distributed them to them, and continued to move deeper into the darkness.
Along the way, Lister explained to Rhodes the clues they found and the difficulties they encountered.
Just as No. 9 said, they have been exploring along this route, going as deep as possible while searching an area within 3,000 yards along the way - this distance cannot be exceeded unless a new route is opened.
They passed through swamps, mountains, hills, plains, basins, deserts, Gobis and mountains, and even crossed a very large lake. The water in the lake had become pure black due to the erosion of black fog over the years.
Transformation to pure black water.
This is the first time they have seen black water that did not evolve from the black mist of the source, filling another gap in the knowledge system of the royal city.
After reaching a depth of about 3,700 yards, they found a broken flag under a barren mountain.
It has been silent in the black mist for who knows how many years, covered by thick dust.
However, Liszt discovered through rich knowledge that the pattern on this flag was very special and did not belong to any of the human kingdoms in the Age of Fire that they knew.
The most important thing is that after identification, it may not be a product of the Age of Fire.
Then, there would be no possibility of human power in the more distant Era of Gods.
If the inference is correct, then it means that there is an unknown human force nearby.
However, just when Lister wanted to explore forward, they encountered many super-inspired monsters.
These monsters have extremely strong senses, forming an isolation zone that completely blocks their way.
Therefore, they must hire a special combatant to help them kill monsters and clear a passage.
Lister said: "Your Excellency No. 0, I found many details during the reconnaissance. I am almost certain that this belongs to a new human kingdom. It is very likely to be at the front of the route. I have a hunch that they have not yet
Destruction, this time we may really be able to find a new Kingdom of Fire!"
Rhodes nodded and said: "I will definitely do my best to assist you."
The journey was smoother than expected, and they arrived at the barren mountain about half a day later.
