the last king of darkness

Chapter 285 Blackwater Swamp
The next day, even Rhodes felt a little weak.

Molly, who had already unlocked all the movements, was very tired. After taking a hot bath, she came to Rhodes again, touched his strong chest for a while, and said with some disappointment: "The spiritual power has not increased."

Rhodes said a little angrily: "Do you think I'm a boar? This can improve my strength? Then I won't go to heaven?"

Molly was silent, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Is it because I'm not... I'll find some..."

This is so sad, Rhode couldn't help shouting: "You are enough! Molly, people are not tools. If we don't have any bottom line, even if we win for a while, we will eventually fall into darkness."

Molly was silent for a few seconds, and said softly: "Rhod, you don't know the true despair. In such a crisis, what is this? Flesh and flesh eat each other, souls eat each other, and pieces of people fall down like wheat ..."

"Do you know how big the flesh and blood of a million people was when the outer city was destroyed seven years ago? A hundred yards... only as big as a hundred yards. If you've seen that bloody ball of flesh, you wouldn't Have any psychological burden on this matter."

Rhodes covered his forehead and sighed: "I'm sorry, I can't imagine it... But let me tell you, it really has nothing to do with what you think, at most there is a little bit on the psychological level, and that's just my feelings for you. "

Molly suddenly smiled a little, although it was fleeting, but she did smile.

"I understand."

She stood up, put on her clothes, put on the black silk of the wind, put on the gold-rimmed glasses, and became that exquisite, serious and powerful female assistant again.

"lets go."

Leaning over, kissed Rhodes forehead lightly, and then went out.

When Rhodes went out, the team had already assembled.

Because of the good weather, the monster activities tend to be doomed. Fanxing Town does not need too many people to stay behind. It only needs to leave early warning personnel and certain combatants to guard against the doomsday cultists.

In the square, 5000 fighters were gearing up and couldn't wait any longer.

The target this time is the Blackwater Swamp to the north.

Since there were no powerful monsters, Rhodes didn't plan to use the super lightning stones, and 5000 people directly pushed them over, eliminated the monsters, purified the land, ignited the flames, and dispelled the black mist.

The entire process from clearing to occupation is a systematic effort that requires the full cooperation of all types of personnel.

Today's Fanxing Town has a complete system and is completely competent.

Rhode gave an order, and the team with high morale set off immediately.

Five thousand lanterns formed a long dragon of fire, passing through Fanxing Town into the black mist.

The scene was very spectacular, and the surrounding townspeople all felt their hearts surged, and applauded one after another.

And the whole battle process was as expected.

O'Hara, Konder, and Beowuld took the lead in charging, and the lights like a long dragon plunged straight into the black water swamp.

This gloomy and muddy area ushered in the long-lost human breath, and the firelight and psychic flashes illuminated the black cement pool that was dark all year round.

The most dangerous of the blackwater swamps are these black mud pools.

Black water is the most ominous taboo, they are poison to extinguish fire.

Rainfall is a disaster in Trorian, for all that falls is black rain.

Drops on people, rotten skin and flesh, drops on houses, rotten walls and corroded pillars.

If dropped into the fire, it will cause fatal weakening.

Rhodes has not seen rain so far, not because there is no rain, but because there are special people forecasting rain disasters, and special people stop the black rain in midair.

But there is nothing to do with the rainfall in areas outside Trorian. Some areas are low-lying areas that naturally gather rainwater. Over time, these areas have formed very dangerous sewage areas.

For example, Blackwater Swamp.

The monsters here are actually not strong, they are strong because of their highly polluted environment.

But Rhodes was already prepared.

【Goddess Tears】

The dream creation can dispel the pollution curse and purify the soul, and the effect is much stronger than the Wangcheng creation of the same price.

After diluting it, whether it is taken or sprinkled on the ground, it has an excellent effect.

Rhodes had asked Mephis to make a lot of raw materials for him a long time ago, and now 5000 people not only manage it, but Annabelle has also dragged a cauldron taller than a house, which is full of [Goddess Tears].

Of course, Rhodes used her as a horse-drawn carriage, and she was extremely unhappy.

Centaurs also have dignity, right?Waste material also has a personality, okay?

However, after Rhodes gave her the fruit of the holy white tree that can improve the characteristics, she was quite happy.

Don't horses pull carts?

Isn't a centaur a horse?

Shouldn't I be proud that I pull cars for 5000 people?
With Annabelle done, the rest of the work is Memphis's.

[Goddess Tears] Although the effect is strong, it is unrealistic to purify the entire Blackwater Swamp at once.

For this kind of work, the holy white tree must be planted, and it can be completely eliminated after a long period of purification called the miracle of life.

Therefore, Memphis needs to freeze the ground with ice and avoid direct contact with black water to isolate pollution.

Mephis didn't complain, even when Rhodes went to find her, she found out right away.

"You smell of other women."

Rhodes gave her a big hug without explaining.

"But all I really care about is you, don't you? My best partner."

Memphis didn't reply, just broke away from his hand that instinctively slid down.

The treatment she received here was already the best. Not only did she set up the best production workshop, provide the best instruments and utensils, but even gave her a weekly salary of 800 million silver ropes in advance.

Although Rhodes himself was glib, he was sincere enough and friendly enough, and he didn't even look strangely at aliens or monsters.

This is the greatest warmth that Memphis felt from Rhodes.

She cherishes this partner very much, that's all.

Along the way, Memphis displayed abilities beyond imagination, and the bitter cold air blew away like a storm, freezing the entire ground of the Blackwater Swamp into ice.

The cold ice is born with a sealing effect, and the pollution is firmly isolated.

The pollution carried by monsters that have lived in the black water environment for a long time can be removed with [Goddess Tears].

The whole battle process was smoother than expected. The Moment of the Stars is a relatively powerful positive weather. Although its main effect is at night, it is biased towards the mysterious side and prophecy side, but its bonus to fire and light is also relatively high. Yes, the suppression effect on darkness is also excellent.

The abilities of all the soldiers have been improved to varying degrees, their spiritual energy is active, and their lights are bright.

The monsters were suppressed, their movements were slow, and their spiritual energy was weakened.

Under this strength and weakness, the gap is very huge.

Coupled with adequate preparations, complete equipment, logistical supplies, and battlefield medical treatment, the temporary stronghold formed by the remaining fire stood beside the swamp, providing a strong backing for the soldiers.

The originally planned three-day battle ended in one day.

The whole process was overwhelming, and Rhodes had no time to execute all the monsters, and a considerable part of the monsters were killed by the soldiers.

Although Rhodes needs the soul very much, efficiency is the most important at this time.

Moreover, the level of monsters in the Blackwater Swamp is not high, and there are not many souls.

The pollution received by the soldiers was also quickly purified by [Tears of the Goddess]. There were not many injured people in the whole battle, and most of them returned to the battlefield quickly under the treatment of the medical team led by Aunt User.

This is one of the reasons why the battle is so fast.

Rhodes also took the opportunity to get acquainted with his powerful spiritual power, and practice the [Star Shuttle] that was just ignited.

The ability of this star is indeed very powerful.

Rhodes can condense star dust from ten fingertips, he can control these shining star dust, connect them into a bright thread, and then this thread can be woven into a weapon or a shield.

The more and denser the threads, the sharper the weapon and the stronger the shield.

During the battle, Rhodes used the Stardust Sword in one hand and the Starshield Shield in the other hand to kill the monsters. With his skillful fighting skills and smooth movements, Rhodes used the sword and shield shining with stars like chopping melons and vegetables. The figure of killing monsters like a monster, but it fascinated many people.

However, the most important usage of [Star Shuttle] is "Star Shuttle".

Wrap the star wire around your fingertips to form a high-speed spinning top. When the speed exceeds a certain limit, the star wire at the tail will dissipate, providing a forward driving force, and the top will fly out rapidly. .

This is "Star Shuttle".

The power is extremely powerful, but the requirements for spiritual control are very high.

The process of winding the star wire is like beating a spinning top with a whip. The harder you beat, the faster the speed will be. Otherwise, the star shuttle will dissipate if the rotation speed does not meet the standard for a long time.

After the whole battle, Rhodes only had to go out with one shot and punched a black dead beast.

The power is indeed huge, but it consumes too much mind and requires a lot of spiritual energy. Rhodes still likes to use Star Sword and Star Shield.

Fast, labor-saving, and powerful.

The battle is over quickly, but the work is not over.

The logistics personnel who had been waiting for a long time began to purify every inch of land quickly, and established a fire protection sacrificial site in the middle of the swamp, rooted the fire protection, connected the fire light with Fanxing Town, and formed a whole.

The life priests escorted a small holy white tree to plant in the middle of the swamp, and the breath of life began to improve the land.

Like Haunted Lake, Blackwater Swamp is also a good place to grow food.

The soldiers did not go back, but guarded the edge of the black water swamp, waiting for the establishment of defense facilities.

The defense system of Fanxing Town is composed of the defense facilities in the surrounding areas.

As long as they are established, it means that Fanxing Town has officially become a complete human settlement.

The expedition plan can be officially declared a success.

From this step, only the ruins of Ishorn to the west are left.

This ruin is not simple, it is the most dangerous area around Fanxing Town, but Rhodes has already prepared for it.
