Rhodes suppressed the excitement in his heart, took the Black Battle Group, and rushed to the red forest in the west.
It is worth mentioning that with Molly's efforts, the Black Chapter has expanded to more than a hundred people. After Rhodes officially advanced to the Herrscher, the number of people who wanted to join the war group increased explosively. p>
As long as he wants to take in, he can take in even 10,000 people.
But this is meaningless, and the royal city will not allow a war group to expand to the size of a legion.
For Rhodes, the main purpose of expanding his battle group is to transform them into "apostles" of dreams, so that he can earn divinity for him.
To transform a person into an "apostle" in the dream world, he needs to provide a large amount of resources to enhance their psychic abilities, break through bottlenecks, and enhance their combat power.
Based on the results of training during this period, Rhodes summed up a rule. Only when the total combat power increased with his help exceeds the total of the past, will the transformation begin and have a transparent name on the dream tombstone.
Outline.
Only if it exceeds three times can one be completely transformed into a "Dream Apostle" and have a complete name on the Dream Tombstone.
This can explain why he helped Olivia to be promoted to the king level, but there was not even the slightest sign of transformation.
After all, he just gave her a push at a critical moment. The success of her promotion relied more on her own efforts and could not be equal to the total strength of her past.
If a large number of warriors are recruited, the group's resources will be thinly divided and the transformation speed will be slowed down.
This is not worth the loss.
Therefore, Molly strictly followed Rhodes' requirements and only recruited those with great potential and below level three combat capabilities.
Unless his potential is very huge and he is suspected of being a "human being", an exception can be made.
It is a pity that such people have long been noticed by Wang Cheng.
Wangcheng has always attached great importance to the screening and training of talents. They have a complete set of rules. Except for a little slip of the eye on Rhodes, no one else will be caught and left to Rhodes.
Not many opportunities.
"It would be great if I could become a child of fire sooner."
Rhodes felt quite regretful.
"In this way, we can cut them off early and catch all the new stars."
Of course, this is just a thought.
Even if you give it all to him, his resources are not enough.
This is thanks to the fact that he is the master of dreams and does not need regular resources.
The supplies distributed by the Sons of Fire and the rewards for winning battles were all donated to the war group.
It is also because of this that the treatment of the Black Chapter is so good that Archbishop Horus once came to inspect it and believed that the amount of resources they obtained was infinitely close to the amount of resources used to train warriors in the Age of Fire.
However, even so, it is difficult to transform them into "Dream Apostles" in a short period of time.
On this trip, in addition to the three members of the royal family, Rhodes only added one person - Frank from Mugu City.
This is also an old teammate. He has fought alongside Rhodes many times and is the only complete "Dream Apostle" among more than a hundred newcomers.
Frank's characteristic is "inorganic transformation", which can change the inherent nature of non-living matter. The greater the change, the more spiritual energy is consumed. For example, transforming a spiritual potion into a healing potion does not consume much spiritual energy. p>
But if stool is transformed into a healing potion, it may require Wang Lai to achieve it.
His characteristic is not a combat type, but he himself is a combat type. Only in fierce battles of life and death can he grow and improve his psychic abilities.
Therefore, Frank's position has always been awkward. After he became a fourth-level combatant, his improvement was very slow.
Until joining the Black Fighting Group.
Rhodes thinks that Frank's characteristics are very strange and may be "human beings".
He originally wanted to use 10 points of divinity to find out how to improve him, but the Book of Knowledge told him that this characteristic seemed to be a relatively well-known soul characteristic in ancient times, and it had a full set of training methods in its memory.
Therefore, Frank had the honor to become the first "Dream Apostle" personally guided by the Book of Knowledge.
Under the guidance of the Book of Knowledge, he continued to use his properties to change the most difficult-to-change substances, such as star marrow, sun crystals, high-purity sun stones and other highly spiritual minerals.
As he practiced over and over again, his characteristics quickly deepened in his soul, and the trajectory of the source law of "inorganic transformation" became clearer and clearer, and the special level was also rapidly rising, moving closer to its source.
This is one of the reasons why Frank became the "Apostle of Dreams" so quickly.
When they were traveling, Frank's characteristics had reached the last and longest level.
As long as he completes it, he can control the source law of "inorganic transformation" and be promoted to the Herrscher.
Of course, his spiritual power is far from supporting him to do this.
The only thing he has to do now is to increase his psychic level.
Therefore, he must follow Rhodes to fight.
The five people took the Annabel and arrived at the westernmost boundary of Trolian - the "Red Forest" half a day early.
This is a forest of dead trees stained red, covering an extremely vast area. At a glance, the rolling black mist is filled with blood-red color.
The Temple of Destruction where the "Lord of Light" is located is in the center of the Red Forest.
In front of the red forest is the human stronghold that the Kingdom has just occupied.
It is named Red Forest Fortress, and Qingyu and her team are stationed here.
As soon as you enter the fort, you will see a wartime scene.
In the extremely vast hall, the guardian fire burned in the center. The fire keepers carefully added phlogiston to the fire. The wounded were surrounded by wounded people. Support staff and medical personnel shuttled among the crowd. Bishops and priests continued to pray for the wounded on the bed.
.
In the side hall on the other side, a group of soldiers were ready to go.
Bai Lang was standing guard at the door of the side hall and saw them at a glance.
Rhodes waved his hand: "White Wolf."
Bai Lang nodded, with no emotion or anger on his vicissitudes of face: "Miss is waiting for you on the second floor, come with me."
He took Rhodes and five others upstairs.
In this way, after many days, Rhodes once again met Qingyu who had fully controlled the source law of "Eternal Fire".
She didn't look much different from before. She was still wearing a green and white robe, with red lips, white teeth, and delicate eyebrows, just like when they first met.
The only difference is that the triple flame logo on the collar has become a crown of fire.
This means that she has entered the ranks of Herrschers and has become Trollian's highest combat power.
The moment Qingyu saw Rhodes, a smile broke out on his face. The feeling was like ripples on a shining lake.
"Little Rod, I'm glad to see you again. I've been looking forward to the moment when we fight side by side for a long time."
Rhodes curled his lips.
You are not much older than me, so why do you call me Little Rod?
But he didn't say it. The focus now is the battle of killing the king, and the name is not important.
There will be plenty of time for her to change her name to Rod.
"Me too, Sister Qingyu. In fact, I can't wait to rush into the forest and defeat the King of Light. What kind of thing dares to have such a domineering title?"
A Luo on the side burst into laughter: "Xiao Dede, you are so interesting."
The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that the title "Little Rhodes" was not bad, at least it was better than Little Dede.
Behind her, Annabeth looked disdainful: "I knew this guy was a dirty man who flirted with women everywhere!"
Although Kashan didn't speak, her fists were clenching loudly.
Mavis was as indifferent as before, and even deliberately stayed farther away, as if he didn't like the surging heat on Qingyu's body.
Only Frank asked in confusion: "Isn't Mr. Rhode not married?"
This sentence earned two eyes at the same time. Annabeth and Cass had even classified him into the scumbag camp in their hearts, but Frank still didn't know what was going on.
On the other side, White Wolf said calmly: "Sir Rhodes, the King of Light is a king-level monster. It has been stationed in this forest for at least seven hundred years. It is one of the biggest threats to the west of Trolian and also
An important factor that restricts Trorian's expansion is that due to its existence, we often have to stop expansion far away from it."
Qingyu smiled and said: "White Wolf, I actually think what little Rhodes said is quite good. We should despise monsters in terms of momentum and value the enemy in tactics. This is the mentality we have. So what about king-level monsters? What's there to be afraid of?"
? We will one day eliminate all such horrific existences."
A Luo clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes, that's it. Sister Qingyu and Little Rhodes can defeat any monster!"
Rhodes looked at her speechlessly, and whatever words came out of her mouth changed their taste.
Qingyu didn't care much. She came to a long table and pointed to the gray plate on it.
"Look, this area is the Red Forest. The Temple of Destruction is here. It is the center of the Red Forest, but we cannot attack directly."
"Because in the red forest, there are a group of monsters called red witches. They are derivatives of the King of Light. If we directly attack the Temple of Destruction, the red witches in the entire forest will gather and drown us."
Bai Lang took out a dossier.
"This is the relevant information provided by the Big Library and the White Tower."
"According to the information, the King of Light was originally an extremely crazy cult leader active in the Age of Fire. The cult members worshiped their leader extremely and believed that he was the incarnation of light, so they will be called the King of Light." p>
"They claimed that they held the key to the world and that only they could bring light to the world. They tried to defraud power and resources, but they were quickly discovered and expelled from the then human kingdom Sigelais."
"The cult quickly disappeared, but when the catastrophe came, people discovered that the Lord of Light was among the monsters."
"After the end of the Age of Fire, the Lord of Light wandered in the darkness for a long time until he came to the Red Forest 800 years ago. The characteristics of this place were particularly suitable for him, so he settled here, in a ruins called the Temple of Destruction.
It built its lair and mass-produced its derivatives, red witches and demons."
"For 800 years, these derivatives spread all over the red forest, becoming the biggest obstacle to the kingdom's westward expansion."
"According to records, the Lord of Light has not been silent and has always remained active. He attacked Trorian's expansion army hundreds of years ago and caused heavy losses. After that, Trorian never moved the border
Once we get close to here, the red forest becomes an insurmountable obstacle for us."
"Baita has confirmed the authenticity of the above information and eliminated any wrong or untrue information."
Rhodes nodded slightly. He had actually heard of the existence of the King of Light.
Of course, at that time, they were far from capable of conquering the King of Light.
But now, after more than half a year of rapid development, it is finally time for Trolian to clear all obstacles.
Afterwards, Qingyu briefly told Rhodes the current battle situation.
They came to the Red Forest Fortress two weeks ago. Due to the fierce fighting situation and tight fighting strength, only two special forces were sent to attack the King of Light. One arrived first, and the other is to be determined.
The one who arrived first was naturally Qingyu.
Although the special combatants were nervous, thanks to the great outbreak during this period, the high-level combatants were very generous. Wangcheng sent 20 first-level combatants, 60 second-level combatants, and 300 third-level combatants in one go.
.
In the plan, they will first completely clean up the Red Forest, then attack the Temple of Destruction, and finally kill the King of Light, opening the way for the expansion of the royal city in this direction.
Originally, Wangcheng expected to complete the cleanup of the red forest within two weeks. At this time, another special combatant was sent, just in time to complete the killing of the King of Light.
Unexpectedly, the difficulty of the battle was far beyond imagination.
The Red Witch is far more difficult to deal with than expected. Coupled with the deterioration of the weather, foggy days, dark days, and lightless nights take turns, causing the difficulty of the battle to rise sharply.
Within the expected two weeks, the target was far short of the target.
The battlefield has a tendency to gradually deteriorate. If this continues, the Red Forest battlefield will become a huge burden for the expansion of the royal city.
Qingyu came to the window and looked into the distance through the special crystal glass.
"Little Rhodes, our task is very heavy. In two weeks, the battle in the other direction will spread here. If we can't solve it as soon as possible, it will interfere with them and disrupt the expansion plan of the royal city." p>
She turned her head, her paint-like eyes flashing in the firelight.
"Are you confident?"
Unexpectedly, she was greeted by a bright smile.
"Yes."
Although it was just one word, it pierced the haze in her heart like an arrow of light.
For a time, the heavy heart caused by the unfavorable battle situation in the past two weeks was swept away.
Maybe.
A thought suddenly came to Qingyu's mind.
He is really my destined husband.
——
——
Of course, Rhodes didn't know what Qingyu was thinking. He smiled so happily because he knew it very well.
The greater the difficulty, the greater the divinity!
Sure enough, as soon as Rhodes returned to the dreamland, he saw the golden numbers flashing in Star Square.
Possible divinity: 50-100
OK!
There is so much divinity!
Rhodes was delighted. If he did this a few more times, the last big star would be ignited!
In this expansion battle, I must go to a higher level and reach the king level as soon as possible!
Rhodes inspected the materials and items in the dream, and when he was about to leave, suddenly, the dream shook violently.
The Book of Knowledge jumped down from the Tower of the Sun and rushed into the House of God.
"Master! We have crossed the border and arrived at the Ice Prison!"
Rhodes was shocked, it was finally here!
The junction of the Sea of Chaos and the Ice Prison is really huge. After sailing in the dreamland for a long time, I finally entered the new high-level spiritual world.
He jumped into the House of God, came to the Platform of Light, held down the Star Core, and saw beyond the dream.
My vision became cold in an instant, and the boundless fog blocked my eyes, and the bluish color was like condensed ice fog.
But soon, the dream bubble passed through it and broke into a space shrouded in cold light.
Everything you see is extremely cold light, which comes from an infinite distance and extends to an infinite distance.
There are many large and small ice cubes floating in the space, some are larger than the royal city, and some are smaller than the dream bubble. Between them, there are countless ice particles whizzing by.
In the very distance, you can still see drifting ice fog, howling ice tornadoes, and falling hail or heavy snow.
The Book of Knowledge said ecstatically: "This is the Ice Prison! Yes, this is the Ice Prison!"
The vibrations in the dream became more serious, and ripples spread around its tail.
There was a violent roar in the space, some icebergs suddenly cracked or collapsed, the cold wind was violent, and the roar filled the ears.
Even Rhodes saw something was wrong and shouted: "What's going on?"
The Book of Knowledge shouted excitedly: "Dream is plundering the spirits at the bottom of the Ice Prison! We are stronger and can plunder more spirits!"
After about tens of seconds, the abnormality stopped.
Dreamland also officially entered the ice prison, and began to shuttle between the icebergs, and from time to time had to avoid the roaring hail.
But the book of knowledge could handle this level, so Rhodes retreated.
He wants to see what the special creation of the Ice Prison is.
I lit the candle on the stone platform, and sure enough, a new dream creation appeared in front of me.
[Ice Prison]: Seal an area in the Ice Prison, prohibiting all spiritual communication.
Requires 1 Flower of Humanity and 10 points of Divinity.
Can only make five copies
——
Rhodes scratched his head and asked: "Book, what is the use of [Ice Prison]? What does spiritual communication mean?"
The Book of Knowledge briefly replied: "Resurrection, in the area of [Ice Prison], all forms of resurrection are prohibited."
Rhodes was shocked.
"Is it the Stone of Resurrection too?"
"Yes."
"Then what's the use?"
"Many monsters have the ability to resurrect. [Ice Prison] can target these monsters. In addition, the Ice Prison is an environment with ice characteristics. It has a great bonus for souls with such characteristics. For souls with scorching and magma characteristics,
The soul is extremely suppressed."
Rhodes took a look and his eyes stayed on the materials used to make it. He hesitated and said, "Let's do it when necessary."
The Book of Knowledge did not answer. It was nervously manipulating the dream bubble and flying towards the core of the Ice Prison.
——That is an extremely huge iceberg, and the key dream fragments must be there.
Rhodes left the dreamland slightly disappointed.
He has actually been looking forward to the new dream creation for a long time.
In the past, both [Immortal Spirit] and [Bell of Light] had great effects.
But [Ice Prison] doesn't seem to be very useful. Rhodes has not encountered any resurrected monsters so far.
At this time, the team had just set off.
He and Qingyu, plus Annabeth, Kashan, Mavis, Bailang and Aluo, a group of seven people, walked towards the red forest together.
Along the way, Qingyu introduced in detail why the battle situation was so unfavorable.
"The pollution in the red forest is too serious for soldiers to fight for a long time, and neither can I."
Rhodes nodded and didn't care. Anyway, he was not afraid of contamination.
"The astrology was unfavorable and there was too much bad weather, which greatly affected the soldiers."
Rhodes didn't care either, as his abilities were basically not affected by the astrology.
"The Red Witch is extremely difficult to deal with. It has a special layer of psychic defense that can buffer attacks from extremely threatening attacks. In most cases, it is guaranteed to only receive damage of less than 2 tracks at most."
A rail is a unit of total psychic energy. One rail of psychic energy can charge the royal city's psychic railgun once, so it is sometimes used as the amount of damage caused.
Rhodes frowned, this is very troublesome.
In this case, even if it has special combat power, it will still take a certain amount of effort to kill it.
"The most troublesome thing is."
Qingyu said in a deep voice.
"It can be resurrected."
"If the corruption in its body is not burned out in time, a new Red Witch will be born in the forest soon... Huh? Rhodes, why did you stop?"
