the last king of darkness

Chapter 377 Fate (Part [-])
Empire.

War Department.

In front of the super-large fog disc, stood Wang, Dalin, Horus, and Armando, the most important figures among the four Trorians.

And behind them, all the elders in the Supreme Council stood uncharacteristically.

Due to the agreement between the king and Armando, during the expansion war, unless Trorian is in an emergency, the elders will not interfere with military operations.

But now, the situation in Trorian has improved, and it is very abnormal for the group of elders who have been stationed in the Supreme Council to appear here all year round.

Armando's face was gloomy, and the atmosphere in the elders' group was also oppressive. No one spoke, and the hall was dead silent.

After a long time, Dalin tried to speak: "First Elder, this is our strategic consideration..."

The elder Palos shouted angrily: "First Chief of Defense, please don't insult our wisdom! From the very beginning, your strategy has a clear purpose! If you just expand and win more living space for human beings, we will not fight at all. Be like this!"

Dalin was silent for a few seconds: "This is a misunderstanding, we..."

Elder Bron coldly interrupted: "First Chief of Defense, if you refuse to admit it, then please explain why you pushed forward in such an urgent manner? Why did you continue to fight regardless of spiritual disturbance? Why didn't you choose more Easy Sword Coast direction?"

bang.

His fingers poked heavily into the fog disk, destroying the fog used for the simulation.

"Why do all your strategic directions point to the storm pass that has been lost for hundreds of years? What exactly do you want to do?"

In the hall, a deathly silence prevailed.

Dalin opened his mouth several times and closed it several times without making a sound.

The Holy Fire Project was originally planned to be made public after the storm pass was captured and an irreversible fait accompli was created.

It's not that Dalin didn't think about making some disguises, but the heavy pressure made him unable to tell the slightest bit of strength, so he could only hope that no one in the elders would notice.

But unfortunately, luck was not on his side, and the group of elders finally discovered their abnormality.

Dalin knew very well that the group of elders would never agree to the holy fire plan, and it was impossible to take great risks to attack another Fire King City that had been sunk in the black mist for 1500 years.

Even if human beings may be devastated because of this.

In their eyes, survival is a kind of luck, and it is worth paying no matter how much it costs.

The holy fire is not only a totem to protect them, but also a symbol of Trorian's eternity. The structure of the holy fire is not enough to support its power, so it is better to reduce the power.

As for how many people will die and how much human power will shrink, that is not within their scope of consideration.

Dalin racked his brains, trying to come up with a convincing explanation.

But the elders are all old and mature, and they will not be concealed by the excuses full of loopholes. On the contrary, they are more sure that they must be carrying out some ulterior plan.

Just as the situation was getting worse, Wang suddenly spoke.

"Yes, you are right, we must take Storm Pass within forty days."

There was a loud voice in the elders group, and the elder Palos said furiously: "Sure enough! There is indeed a conspiracy! The storm pass controls the largest canyon entrance and exit of the Dead Ember Mountains. Are you planning to attack the Great Dark Plain to the north?"

Wang replied directly: "Yes!"

There were even more shocking voices in the elders group, and various emotions such as panic, doubt, and anger were clearly displayed on the faces of the elders.

Dalin, Horus and the others were extremely anxious, not understanding why Wang would choose to be calm at this time.

After the shock, there was a loud protest from the elders.

"Your Majesty! This is not the same as saying yes! We are only expanding the living space, not recreating the glory of mankind!"

"Attacking the Dark Great Plains at this time is courting death!"

"The city of the North is so far away from us, it is impossible to include it in the territory, that enclave deep in the black mist should have been abandoned long ago!"

"Blind expansion! What a great success! We shouldn't have chosen you in the first place! You will only lead humans into the abyss!"

After the wave of protests calmed down, Wang said lightly, "I don't intend to bring the northern city under Trorian's protection."

The faces of the elders softened a little, but they still objected.

"That doesn't work either. The mass destruction that year began with the fall of the Storm Pass. Trorian, who was once the most powerful, was destroyed by attacking the Great Dark Plain!"

"Yes, there are still fallen people from the Twilight Legion in the pass of the storm. There are countless spirit eaters and ghouls wandering around. They are extremely dangerous and have no output. They have to face the dark plain. If they don't attack the north, they will lay down It doesn't make any sense, it's a huge drain."

"We have a better route. The living space of human beings can be expanded and should be expanded, but the premise is that we should not take risks!"

Wang said calmly: "I plan to attack Tasnia Star City."

All of a sudden, the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, and everyone stared at Wang dumbfounded.

A few seconds later, the huge sound almost lifted the roof like an explosion.

The elders seemed to be boiling, and they almost threw themselves on the king. It was the first elder, Amando, who stopped them, so the tragedy of the elder killing the king did not happen.

"His Majesty."

Armando's voice was not loud, but it suppressed the voices of all the elders.

"Please explain why you endured for so many years, took such a big risk, paid such a high price, and attacked the capital of the Starry Kingdom that was destroyed 1500 years ago."

Wang showed a smile: "As expected of the First Elder, I found out so quickly that this is a plan I have planned for a long time."

Armando said blankly: "When I heard this answer, I immediately thought of your series of incomprehensible behaviors, and the confusion that has plagued me for many years was solved at this moment."

Wang smiled and said: "Yes, I have been preparing for this plan for more than ten years. The hardships and hardships during the period are unspeakable, but fortunately, it finally has a glimmer of hope for success."

Armando looked at him with a cold face: "Wang, you need an explanation."

Wang nodded and told them that the holy fire had changed and was about to go out.

At this moment, the elders finally understood the cause and effect of everything.

No wonder Trorian suddenly slowed down his strenuous efforts. No wonder the king suddenly stayed at the sacred fire sacrifice site during his heyday. No wonder the king, who had never been close to a woman since the death of his wife, would suddenly still be infatuated with a man with a vain sense of purpose. pompous woman with table.

However, the elders' reaction was exactly as they expected.

What are the dead?
What is it to give up the glory of man?
What is it to be helpless?
As long as the torch can be guaranteed to continue, they would rather waste more than 300 years of painstaking efforts and sacrifices. It is not a problem for Trorian to give up all the outer regions and retreat to the depths of the dead ember mountain range.

Dalin's face was gloomy, and Horus's veins were bulging. The two looked at each other, and they both saw the same idea in each other's eyes - kill all the elders here and force the implementation of the holy fire plan.

Of course, this terrible thought passed away in a flash, and neither of them moved. The consequences it caused were immeasurable, and it might even trigger a big split in Trorian.

But what about the situation now?
The two quickly changed their minds, but neither came up with any solution. In Trorian, the reign of the king will not be as long as that of the elders. After hundreds of years, the elders have already become Unshakable existence.

If they oppose one thing with all their strength, then it is bound to fail.

But the king looked calm, as if he didn't care about the situation in front of him, just looked at Armando.

Armando also looked at him.

The fierce quarrel around him seemed to be just some kind of noisy background, and no one cared.

After a long time, Armando asked, "Where is the chance?"

The First Elder didn't raise his voice, but when he spoke, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone is looking at them.

Wang said: "When the stars shine, we can include Star Town and Star City into our territory. When Hanukkah comes, we will come to Tasnia Star City."

Armando shook his head: "Not enough."

Wang said: "Using Storm Pass as a base, we can project the power of the holy fire to the Tasnian Star City, and we can fight in the field of fire."

Armando shook his head: "Not enough."

Wang said: "The first knight, Alan, lit No. 20 fire seeds."

Amando was silent for a few seconds, but still shook his head: "Not enough."

Wang said: "Sun Knight Kai has taken the holy medicine of the soul and is about to wake up from decay. Pure Radiance, Moonlight Knight Olivia, and Dawn Light, Holy Sword Knight Vehele have accumulated enough power."

Wang paused slightly, and continued: "The seven sons of fire have all entered the highest battle order."

Armando fell silent completely, but still did not make a statement.

Wang smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the power of human beings, miracles and hopes exist, don't they?"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Armando's eyes.

In all fairness, his achievements are not ranked among the entire human race, but what is special about him is that he created the greatest victory with the least amount of resources and the most inconspicuous power.

This is miracle, this is hope.

"it is good."

Armando said suddenly.

"Your Excellency the First Elder!" "Lord Amando!" Countless exclamations rang out, but Amando remained unmoved.

His next words silenced the exclamation.

"But I have one condition."

The faces of Dalin and Horus sank again.

Only Wang remained calm and said with a smile, "Please tell me."

Armando said: "Within 30 days, lay down the storm pass, otherwise, the torch plan will be cancelled, and mankind will turn to shrink."

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, Wang stretched out his hand.

"For the flame, for Trorian."

clap clap.

Four hands fell together.

"For us who pass on the torch, and for the destiny of mankind that sticks to it in this dark world!"

The time to be desperately busy is always short, and Rhodes wished that he would not even have to sleep, and go all out on the road to gain divinity.

Twelve days passed by in a flash.

Finally, the long-awaited moment for the stars to shine has come.
