the last king of darkness

Chapter 286 Threesome

The big bomb of 100 million thunderstones has been prepared.

This is also the last link in his plan.

— Blow up the ruins of Ithorn.

The ruins of Ithorn are in the west of Starry Town, and outside of it is the famous Skull Wasteland.

In the dark world, the wasteland is the most stable area. There are only wandering monsters on the wasteland, and there is no threat of large gatherings. It is the best buffer zone.

Putting fortifications in front of the buffer zone is the most common method of Trorian expansion.

It has many advantages. It is not easy to alarm dangerous groups of monsters. It has a wide field of vision and is easy to scout.

If there is a mission team going to the dark world, they can first arrive at Fanxing Town, and then from Fanxing Town to the Skull Wasteland, they can go in any direction.

Therefore, in the entire defense system, the ruins of Ishorn are the most important link.

It is also the most dangerous in the immediate area.

Not only are monsters generally above the fierce level, but there is also a powerful Chaos Demon.

According to the intelligence of the investigation legion, this Chaos Demon's psychic power level exceeds level eleven, which is considered a mid-to-high level among strong monsters. If it is not that it has no dangerous characteristics and only relies on hand-to-hand attacks, the investigation legion will definitely divide it To the ranks of strong and high-level.

But even so, its super high level of spiritual energy brought it a powerful body, the power born from chaos made it immune to many special attacks, and the demon species gave it infinite recovery ability.

It is a very troublesome thing to destroy this demon, and it will take a very long time to fight.

Prolonged battles in the dark world are a big taboo. Psychic disturbances will spread to a very large area after being continuously superimposed, and more monsters are likely to be disturbed.

When more monsters arrive, the battle becomes more difficult to end.

There will be more and more monsters until some horrible existences are alarmed.

Therefore, opening up a stronghold in the dark world actually involves far greater risks than you see, and there are always unpredictable super threats.

You don't know where your disturbance will spread, what monsters you will disturb, and what threats you will face.

This is also the fundamental reason why the elders have always disagreed with Wang's expansion plan.

At the beginning, few people believed that Rhodes' expedition team could perform miracles.

But the reality was different from what they had imagined. Rhode's journey couldn't have been smoother. Luck was more than on his side. He was lying naked on the bed, even in a good posture.

Not only did Rhodes not encounter any unexpected threats, but all disturbances had a positive result.

Some monsters that were originally very difficult to deal with suddenly left their lairs and ran into the range of the fire to be killed.

A large number of monsters committed suicide like death, causing his expansion speed to fly.

Everyone's eyes were shocked. Of course, they later found out that this was done by the three justices. They intended to destroy Fanxing Town, but they did not expect to help Fanxing Town a lot.

In the end, not only did he die and his family property was confiscated, but Rhodes was also given a lot of opportunities.

But if you look at it this way, things are even more outrageous.

There are a large number of monsters gathering in Fanxing Town and the surrounding area. After cleaning up such an area, there is no disturbance at all. It is said that there is no shadow of the great horror in the dark.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

There are still some people in the elders who don't believe in Rhodes' achievements.

Many people have to go to Fanxing Town to see it for themselves before they believe that this area is no longer a habitat for monsters, but a paradise for humans.

And all of this took him less than three months.

The ability of human beings to change the environment is fully reflected at this moment.

However, correspondingly, Star City still looks dilapidated.

The darkness in the ground has not been cleared, and there is not a single immigrant in the city, and they are still in a state of fighting.

For this reason, the head of the Conquest Legion was under a lot of pressure. The manpower and material resources invested in the Conquest of Star City were thousands of times that of Fanxing Town. Up to now, there is not even a dime of output, and it is still a bottomless black hole.

Many elders thought that he couldn't even compare to a brat, why would he still be a legion commander, so he abdicated and let Rhodes do it.

Legion Commander Harold was furious enough, but no matter how he explained, he seemed pale and powerless in front of Rhodes' brilliant achievements.

And now, Rhodes is about to declare war on the last area.

The battle plan is as simple as ever.

Mephis released the Curse of Misfortune, pulling the monsters in the entire area into a ball, and Rhodes summoned 100 million thunderstones from the dream, blowing up these monsters, and the army rushed up again, killing the remaining monsters wipe out.

The whole process is very simple, but Rhodes has always believed that the simpler the process, the higher the probability of success.

A plan that is too complicated is difficult to implement, and failure in any link will lead to the failure of the entire plan.

In order to improve efficiency, Rhodes didn't even tell Molly and the three captains that he set off with Memphis the night they captured the Blackwater Swamp.

In the faint black mist, Annabe's figure flashed like lightning.

Her speed is extremely fast, the centaur's body is full of spiritual energy, and the illusory starlight is looming on her strong body.

Rhodes was surprised: "Annabelle, have you super-evolved again?"

Annabelle turned her head sideways, her face blurred by the hazy starlight.

"No, although I have been working hard, my talent is really poor, and my soul characteristics are improving very slowly."

"Then why have you become so much faster? My current speed is far from yours."

Annabelle replied softly: "It's a starry night. The awakened state after my magic power is released is the astrology of the night. On a starry night, it will be greatly strengthened."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

Rhodes knew that many characteristics would be affected by day, night and time of day, but this was the first time he had seen it.

Annabelle said softly: "My characteristics have been improved by about three levels. If I test it in the soul working substance crystal of the Engineering Research Institute, I should be able to ignite five fireworks. At this time, I am qualified to stand side by side with my sisters." fighting."

Rhode curiously asked the question that had been held in his heart for a long time: "What's the matter with your magic power release feature? Are your sisters really that strong?"

"Yes."

Annabelle's voice was ethereal and ethereal, full of yearning.

"My sisters are super strong. When you were in the top class, you should have seen a super beautiful female group, that is my sisters. As one of the seven soul characteristics of Trorian, magic liberation is the only A trait that can only be possessed by women, it will give us the ability to awaken and transform into another powerful fighting state."

"Everyone has their own awakened state. After awakening, not only the combat power is greatly improved, but the spiritual power is usually magnified by five to ten times, and they also have special abilities."

"Just like my spear throwing, it must be hit, and it will definitely be paralyzed for half a second."

"We are usually much stronger than people of the same age. The status of soul characteristics is our core competitiveness. As long as its status is raised, we will become extremely powerful. In comparison, other indicators are very important to us. Not that important."

Rhode suddenly said: "No wonder you are also in the secret branch."

Annabelle said softly: "Yes, fighting is very helpful for us to improve our soul characteristics. Many sisters have been improved in battle. Every month we have to go to the Engineering Institute to measure the soul characteristics. The improvement is very fast, but there are always two fireworks on the crystal panel of my soul working substance."

Rhodes asked: "Is it because you don't fight enough?"

Annabelle looked confused.

"Before the establishment of the secret branch, I often fought with the group. In the battles my sisters participated in, I hardly fell behind, but the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger, and I gradually fell behind..."

"The upper layer thought that I might be different, so they arranged regular soul training for me during the battle. Although it had some effect, the progress was still very slow. The upper layer estimated that it would take a lot of burning potion and the fruit of the holy white tree to let me The cost of catching up with the progress of the sisters was too high, so they gave up."

Annabelle lowered her head, unable to hide her loneliness.

"Rhode, you should give this holy white tree fruit to those who need it more. I...maybe just a useless piece of trash."

She took out the holy white tree fruit from her bosom.

This pure white fruit is crystal clear, reflecting the faint starlight, as if it is entrusting her condensed dream.

The moment Rhodes held the fruit, tears flowed from her eyes.

But Rhodes didn't take it away, but put it back into her arms.

"Annabelle, this is yours. No matter what others think, it turns out that you are very useful to me."

Rhodes patted his chest.

"Who am I? The supernova of 1325 in the Gregorian calendar, the future strongman of Trorian, you who are very useful to me, are you a waste?"

"I tell you, you will follow me, and whatever I have will be given to you, and I will feed you up as well."

Annabe was so moved that she whimpered and cried, "Thank you, thank you, you are so kind...your hand!"

"what?"

The furious Annabel almost kicked Rhodes down.

Fortunately, she remembered that Mephis was sitting behind, and put down her pouted hoof again.

On the road afterwards, Annabel was angry and did not speak.

It was useless for Rhodes to apologize, so he had to take out another fire potion, which turned her anger into joy.

But after a while she felt uneasy again.

"Rod, it's not good for me to take so much alone? Don't you need it?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "It's okay, I still have more, you don't know how many medicines I have stockpiled, I have all the medicines issued by Wangcheng so far... cough cough, I drank more than half of it."

"There are also those three chief judges. They are so rich. Wangcheng fried tons of supplies from their homes. Horus just gave me more than half of it. I have already drunk to the limit... These are all I can't drink it."

Only then did Annabe feel relieved, but she suddenly remembered something, and secretly glanced at Mephis, who had been sitting silently behind Rhodes, and asked in a low voice, "Is she okay?"

Rhodes asked: "Who?"

Annabelle indicated with her eyes that it was Memphis.

Before Rhodes could turn his head, Memphis spoke.

"I don't need it. My characteristics cannot be upgraded. Iyeta once said that if their status goes up, it will directly cause disaster."

Annabelle asked in surprise, "Iyeta? Iyeta, the Great Prophet of the White Tower? Do you know him? Doesn't he only predict vicious disasters of extraordinarily serious magnitude?"

Memphis said calmly, "Yes, I am."

Annabelle covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Why? How could you be such a disaster?"

Mephis didn't answer, she inspired the curse, the silver luster ran down her hair, the silver moonlight emerged from her eyes, her skin became as pure as jade, and her appearance became As beautiful as a fairy.

Annabelle recognized it instantly.

"Unknown! You are unknown!"

She swung instinctively, trying to throw Memphis off, but was stopped by Rhodes.

"do not do that."

Rhode shouted.

"She's also my best buddy. A buddy's buddy is a buddy."

"But, she..."

Rhodes said in a deep voice, "Annabelle, if you trust me, you should trust her, not the rumors."

During this period of time, one victory after another has made Rhodes' authority deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And Annabelle went deep into her soul. The memory of her fighting side by side with Rhodes has become the most indelible memory in her heart.

She was not angry just because he was groping, Rhodes had touched her countless times when he was riding her before.

Angry only because he should slander her.

But she can accept anything other than that, so she quickly decided that what she heard before were rumors, and what Rhodes said was the truth.

"Sorry, I was tricked."

Annabelle said sincerely.

"That must be the rumors spread by the Doomsday Cultists to fight against Trorian. Rhode's partner cannot be a murderer, a liar, an unknown, or a destroyer."

Rhodes patted her: "Is it necessary for you to say every word?"

Annabelle turned her head and grimaced at him.

"Okay, okay, I know you love her. The whole Fanxing Town knows that their hero is in love. If someone loves me so much, I don't care about the title of trash."

Rhodes frowned and said, "What does it mean to fall in love? It's just a friendly interaction between partners. It's to deepen the bond between each other, so that 200% of your strength can be unleashed in battle. Don't you think so? Mephis, I'm Not very friendly?"

Mephis said lightly: "If your hands don't move around, you are indeed very friendly."

Annabelle felt the same way.

"That's right, this guy likes to fumble around and take advantage of others."

Rhodes said angrily: "That's just a slip of the hand accidentally, a gentleman like me, how can you call me the same as a wretched man?"

Annabelle rolled her eyes, "You are really shameless."

Memphis echoed in a rare way: "Yes."

Rhode wisely did not continue talking.

"Ah, tonight's night is so beautiful, is this the moment when the stars shine?"

"That's right." Annabelle sighed faintly: "Only at this time, I feel that we are living in this world."

The three of them fell silent for a while, the starlight was so bright tonight that even the black mist faded a lot.

If you look up, you can vaguely see the shining stars in the boundless night sky. The distant and mysterious starlight is extremely magnificent. The silver starlight penetrates the black mist, just like the noon sun passing through the shade of a tree, casting spots of light.

Even such a terrifying environment with rolling black mist has become wonderful.

Annabelle sighed lightly: "It would be nice if we could have such good weather all the time."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Maybe there is hope in the future."

Annabelle rolled her eyes: "Do you really think you are the savior?"

Rhodes shrugged.

"Who knows?"

Annabe snorted, closed her mouth, and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Although there are many more powerful and incredible geniuses in Wangcheng, at this moment, she only thinks that Rhodes is the best.

She concentrated on running, and her speed quickly reached an incredible level.

Under such a strange night, her figure blinked past like a mist, and soon came to the ruins of Ishorn.

Under the dots of starlight, there are dark shadows lurking everywhere in this huge ruin, revealing indescribable weirdness and danger.

Annabelle said: "This is the edge of the ruins of Isolne. It is said that this place used to be the most powerful weapon of war in the Kingdom of Stars - the Sky Armored Star Fortress. They intended to use it to restore the decline of the War of Sun and Twilight, but they failed in the end. After the Star Fortress was destroyed, the era of fire officially came to an end, and the world sank into darkness."

Rhodes was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Annabelle gave him a blank look.

"Don't you know this? This is a classic compulsory subject in "The History of the Rise and Fall of Humanity". How did you graduate?"

Rhodes replied honestly: "I didn't graduate."

Annabelle covered her face.

"I'm sorry, I always forget, you are a junior who hasn't even finished one year of school, woohoo, it's so shameful to be ridden by a junior."

Rhode said speechlessly: "Little girl, pay attention to your wording. Besides, I only look a little young on the outside, but I am much older than you on the inside. You can call me big brother, I can bear it."

Annabelle and Memphis said in unison: "Shameless!"

Rhodes made up his mind that these two girls must not get together in the future.

He jumped off his horse and began to arrange tasks.

"Mephis, you go to attract monsters, pay attention, avoid that chaotic demon, I will take the initiative to find it."

Memphis nodded slightly, his figure lightened, and he disappeared behind the black mist in the blink of an eye.

"Annabelle, just watch from the sidelines. Once Mephis completes the task, you will drive her away from here as fast as possible. Don't look back. I will release a super big explosion to blow up all the monsters that attract it. die."

Annabelle said worriedly, "Then what do you do?"

Rhodes smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have teleportation ability."

Annabelle nodded and said softly, "Everything is going well, Rhodes."

Rhodes waved his hand, turned around and walked into the dark ruins of Ithorne.

Under the stars, Annabelle was left alone.
