The Last King of Darkness

Chapter 172: meteor

Lasuo City is one of the main subordinate strongholds of the Iron Fortress, and there are dozens of subordinate strongholds near Lasuo City.

These defense systems composed of strongholds constitute the defense circle.

Now, this defense system has broken a big hole, and the heavy punch from the dark world has penetrated part of the hard shell of Trorian human beings, and is about to fall on its red and tender flesh.

The inner line of defense is the thin outer skin on the soft meat.

And the lighthouse is just a little bit of **** on this skin.

The marginal stronghold that had no sense of existence at first immediately received unprecedented attention.

A large number of orders came from the old city of Baila and the Ironclad War Zone, requiring them to ensure that the guiding lights are always on, and do their best to rescue the scattered soldiers.

"Warriors."

shouted the captain of the guards.

"It's finally time to need us. Are you willing to live a mediocre life like this, or are you willing to burn your soul like a shooting star, shining even for a second?"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Burn! Burn! Burn!"

"very good."

shouted the captain of the guards.

"Now, get all the embers out and burn our lights to the limit."

Under his command, the soldiers quickly took out a large amount of ashes.

These pure black ashes shone from time to time, and this was the power of fire separated from the guardian fire.

Burning these ashes away can re-fire areas in a small area.

The brazier on the lighthouse is the Horcrux that carries the fire. The special reflector can project the fire light to a far distance, guiding the soldiers lost in the boundless darkness and dispersing the monsters.

This is the role of the lighthouse, which cannot be replaced by the astrolabe.

soon.

In the brazier on the lighthouse, the flames burned violently, and the powerful rays of light spread out, dispelling the nearby black fog.

The beacon isolated on the top of the mountain, like the stars shining in the long night, illuminated the way of the warriors.

Afterwards, the guards began to operate the reflector, and the huge white light pierced through the darkness like a spear of a god, projecting dozens of miles away.

As the three mirrors began to work one after another, the three white light beams began to rotate along the predetermined angular orientation and frequency, representing three safe ways to return home.

Due to its close proximity to the real dark world, the middle area of ​​the defensive circle is very dangerous, and the terrain near the megalithic lighthouse is even more complicated, with hills, swamps, lowlands, rotten mire, and many hidden "dangerous places".

After much consideration, Wangcheng did not spend a lot of manpower to clean it up, but opened up these three safe roads and set up a lighthouse as a guide.

Protected by the old city of Baila in front and the city of Laisuo in the side, there has never been a major incident here.

But the city of Lasuo was destroyed, and the Boulder Lighthouse became the front line.

Rhodes was nervous, excited, and a little bit unbelievable. Didn't the chief dean already lead his conjuration team to support him? How did it break in an instant?

Theodore is also a legendary powerhouse, the holder of the first "Conjuration Natural Quality", he is like thunder.

Although the whistle that the chief dean gave him is a little unreliable, it has also helped him many times. How could I pull my hips like this?

But it was useless to think about it. He didn't know what was going on in Laisuo City. The only thing he could do now was to try his best to rescue the fleeing people. It is said that there are more than 100,000 people in Laisuo City, most of them ordinary people. logistics or production staff.

From the map, the Boulder Lighthouse is one of the three main evacuation directions for Lasuo City, and it should receive many survivors.

At the same time, you will definitely encounter many powerful monsters.

This is his chance.

Unlike when it was in Jianguan, it was at the very end of the defense circle, and the monsters that arrived at Jianguan have been filtered through several layers, and there are not many high-level monsters, all of which are unleveled.

And here, in the middle layer of the defense circle, what I encountered was a powerful monster from the depths of darkness.

According to Teacher Liliwei, he is very likely to meet a special monster with [Origin] here.

Rhodes has made up his mind, no matter how dangerous, he will try to kill them.

Soon, the lighthouse met the first group of refugees.

The moment they saw the light, they ran towards the lighthouse.

A white light fell straight down, shining on them, and several black ghosts were instantly evaporated.

The refugees ran faster, even throwing away their lanterns.

The operator moves the mirror carefully.

At such a distance, a single flutter can deflect the mirror by hundreds of yards.

When they ran within three miles of the lighthouse, the captain decisively ordered the soldiers to go out and pick them up.

The "Three Miles Covenant" is Trorian's standard tactical rules. In a state of war, unless there are special circumstances, the maximum distance supported by small and medium-sized fixed bases is three miles.

This is the experience and lessons summed up by countless blood and tears.

The refugees were obviously aware of this, and they ran desperately just to get within three miles of the lighthouse.

When the soldiers sent them back, the group was so exhausted that none of them could stand up, and they were all carried into the lighthouse.

Thirty-one of them, seven men and twenty-four women, were logisticians who came to Suocheng. Almost all of them were injured. A few of them were seriously infected, and there were a lot of ulcers on their faces and chests. The black flesh spread rapidly, the presence of fire caused more pain, and they rolled and wailed inside the lighthouse.

The captain said in a deep voice, "Send them to the fire."

A man knelt on the ground and cried, "Lord Captain, please, save them!"

The captain shook his head: "The infection is very deep and there is no help."

"But, but my wife, my daughter, has been working in Suocheng for twelve years. They just want to take a look at Wangcheng, and see the dazzling Shangcheng District. They want to dream..."

"Feel sorry."

The captain winked, the soldiers dragged them to the top of the tower, and put them into the blazing brazier one by one.

The flames quickly engulfed their bodies, burning them to ashes.

The captain said softly: "May the fire protect your souls, forget the pain and sorrow, and rest in the heaven of fire forever."

The man didn't speak, just wiped his tears silently.

But when the captain turned around, he only heard a few exclamations from the soldiers around him.

When he turned back, the man had already jumped into the brazier, and the flames instantly wrapped him.

But he smiled.

"…Sorry, I am late."

A warrior tried to pull him out, but was stopped by the captain.

"He has touched the source of fire, and his soul will go to the world of fire and become a force of fire to illuminate us."

Although sad, it is irreversible.

The three lives disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind.

For some reason, Rhode felt that the light of the fire seemed to be brighter.

Is it an illusion?

Rhodes thought.

Or does the human soul also have the effect of phlogiston and firewood?

He didn't struggle with this issue. The residual fire was like a star without soul fuel, and its power would quickly lose its strength. The stronger it was, the faster it would lose. In order to keep the lighthouse in the brightest state, the captain kept adding phlogiston to it.

Only in this way can the light of the lighthouse shine so far.

They want to rescue the most people when the lights are at their brightest.

Later, from the mouths of the survivors, Rhodes and others knew that Laisuo City was destroyed by a black troll.

Its body is larger than the entire city, hidden in the black mist, only partially illuminated by the firelight, its body is covered with scales, and it holds a huge sword made of twisted flesh.

A single blow from the giant sword destroyed one-fifth of the city, extinguishing the fire of guardianship in the fire protection sacrifice ground in the middle of the city.

The black dead beasts swarmed in from outside the city, and a cyan giant shining with thunder and fire flew into the air to fight with the black troll. Dozens of cyan giants and a large number of warriors blocked the gap and fought the monster to the death before giving them to them. Evacuation space.

But there were too many monsters, and the evacuees still suffered heavy losses.

They were lucky to be here alive.

"Lord Captain," said one of the refugees, "We'd better evacuate as soon as possible, we can't hold it here."

The captain shook his head: "We can't go, you can go after repairing for a while. I will give you a lantern and an astrolabe, and you will be safe when you arrive at the sword fortress at the rear according to the predetermined route."

After the first group of refugees settled, they soon met the second, third and fourth groups of refugees.

The number of people in the lighthouse has grown rapidly. Fortunately, the megalithic lighthouse, like its name, has a very large space inside. When it was built, it was built with standard fortress-style fortifications, which can accommodate up to several thousand people.

The figure of the monster also appeared near the lighthouse, and the captain immediately dispatched soldiers to destroy them.

Now is a safer time, and eliminating threats as much as possible is the best way.

Rhode was the most active among them, and he was always there in every hunting operation. His super-high spirit vision and efficient killing methods also played a great role, and the soldiers liked to be with him.

When the hands of the clock cross the eve.

The number of refugees soared, and many teams appeared in the area dozens of miles around the lighthouse.

Many teams did not approach the lighthouse, but ran along three routes to the rear fortress of sharp swords.

The lighthouse did its best to point them in the direction and prevent them from straying into the nearby "dangerous place".

A larger black monster also appeared in sight, they were about the size of a house, their heads were spread like flesh-colored petals, and there was a round hole full of sharp teeth in the middle.

When attacking, the flesh flap will wrap the person, stuff it into the round hole and swallow it.

After a period of hard study, Rhodes has mastered a lot of professional knowledge. He quickly judged that they are high-level monsters. Monsters of this level are the most threatening on the battlefield, not because they are the most powerful, but because of them The largest number, and can cause effective damage to high-level combatants.

This should be the black dead beast that besieged Lasuo City.

Although he abides by the "Three Miles Covenant", Rhode tries his best to attract the attention of monsters on the edge. His shooting skills have reached a thousand yards, but the power is less powerful.

But the real silver bullets have no lethal effect on monsters above the rank, so it doesn't matter.

Once the monster steps into the range, it will be besieged by the warriors, and Rhode will take advantage of the opportunity to end it with a "Soul Crit".

I have to say that the training of combat skills has greatly improved his use of "Soul Crit". This skill is no longer limited everywhere as before, and Rhodes can fly from a distance of a hundred yards. Accurately insert your hand into the monster's flaw, and you can also kill the monster with a sliding shovel in a fierce battle.

Cheers kept ringing in my ears. The existence of Rhodes greatly improved the fighting efficiency of the warriors. They were all spark sequences, generally igniting three or four kinds of fire, most of which were "sharp improvement", "balance control" and "strength enhancement". "For such ordinary fire, the combat methods are almost all physical combat.

Few people use the feature, and they can only hack monsters one by one, which is not efficient.

Rhode's fighting method of killing one by one has both a physical sense of skill and a characteristic explosive sense, which is very popular with them.

Many fleeing teams also survived the doom of death.

Rhode has harvested a lot of humanity. He is now the king of true humanity, and the humanity that exists can't be used up in ten lifetimes.

In this way, the blazing beacon stands in the darkness, pointing the way for countless refugees.

Most of the refugees set off for the Sword Fortress after simple repairs, and only those who were seriously injured and unable to walk remained.

Even so, the lighthouse soon filled with wounded.

Dozens of people also returned to the embrace of fire.

What reassured the captain of the guard a little bit was that from their mouths, the soldiers learned that the main force of the rout was going to the northwest, and not many came to the lighthouse.

However, many people came to Suocheng, and even if only a small part escaped, the number was very considerable.

When the hands of the clock pass the night.

The lighthouse found a remnant of soldiers coming to Soo.

Eleven miles away, there were about thirty people in a tactical group. Most of them were scarred, and the few who were not injured were also fighting with the monsters behind them.

The monster was covered with long black hair, and its sharp claws dragged to the ground, moving very quickly.

The three rays of light from the lighthouse were all concentrated, and the monster began to smoke, but it did not catch fire, but became even more mad, and several fighters were painted.

They ran faster, but apparently couldn't keep up with running into the lighthouse range.

The captain immediately gave an order: "The situation is special, immediately go out and rescue."

Ten fighters rushed towards them quickly, and one of the figures was much faster than them, but after a quarter of an hour, it had already passed the remnants and crashed into the monster group.

"Watch out!" shouted one of the big men. "It's a xenogeneic!"

Rhode ignored him, raised his right hand, killed one with one hand, avoided one claw sideways, and killed another with his backhand.

The monster seemed to be enraged and attacked him.

But Rhode's movements were vigorous and light, and he stepped forward and back, and while flickering, dozens of monsters were killed by him.

[Curse the soul of the wolf] X11

Rhodes laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close, such a severely injured monster, please come again.

The big man was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close: "You, are you a high-level knight or a high-level warrior? No, you are too young, my son is older than you... Are you a special student? A strong-identified student of the secret branch, yes ?"

Guess exactly.

But Rhodes couldn't agree, Sauron said that his strong logo had been hidden.

"I'm just an ordinary student, hurry up to the lighthouse."

"No." The big man rejected his suggestion. "We can't stay here. I suggest that if you don't get support, quickly abandon the lighthouse and evacuate."

Rhode shook his head: "The order we got is to stay here, guide the direction, and do our best to rescue the scattered soldiers."

The big man gave him a deep look and said, "You can dim the fire a little bit. Laisuo City has been broken, and the Iron Fortress and the Old City of Baila are too busy to take care of themselves. The real darkness has eroded over, and the fire will be very unsafe if it is too bright."

Rhodes smiled and said, "If the lighthouse doesn't light up, we won't have anything to light up."

The big man nodded.

"Okay, may we meet again in the sun."

When the clock passed the morning time again, another command was sent from the old city of Baila.

"When danger is coming, try to keep the lights on. If the situation is unfavorable, please evacuate quickly."

But neither the captain of the guard nor the soldiers chose to evacuate, but instead added a few more embers to make the fire brighter.

"Rod."

The captain said seriously.

"You are our future star, you don't have to accompany us on adventures."

Rhode said with a smile: "Is it still a new star who can't accompany you on your adventures?"

The blood rushed to his heart in an instant. Although he had only known each other for two days, the soldiers all felt that he was an old friend who had known him for a long time.

"Haha." The captain laughed: "That's right, let's light the way home together."

after.

The blazing fire illuminated this large dark area with the reflector, guiding the way back for countless teams.

But over time, more and more monsters spread to the lighthouse area, and many monsters were attracted by the firelight and gathered towards the lighthouse on the top of the mountain.

This is a swarming effect, a small number of monsters will be dispelled by the firelight, and a large number of monsters will be gathered by the firelight.

With the increase of black dead beasts, the monsters launched an attack on the lighthouse.

The Monolithic Lighthouse is a standard fortification, and although there is no psionic generator, all building materials are reinforced with special psionics and are extremely difficult to destroy.

The only problem is that monsters sometimes climb to the top of the tower and attack the brazier.

Therefore, all the soldiers gathered on the top of the tower to guard against death.

Rhodes had already pinched the wooden puppet, but he did not expect that everyone worked together, and the battle turned out to be very smooth, and not a single black dead beast could climb up.

The captain laughed and said, "Hahaha, trash, we are the kings of the world."

The fighters were also elated, and more carefully guarded the evacuated team with lights.

The lighthouse played a miraculous effect at this time. The extremely bright firelight attracted a large number of black dead beasts, and the strong light dispelled the monsters that sporadically attacked the retreating team, protecting the safety of the retreating personnel to the greatest extent.

They only need to bypass the lighthouse to reach the sharp sword fortress behind.

However, after all, this is only the light of embers, and a large number of monsters quickly consume its power.

The fire light gradually weakened, some monsters left the range of the lighthouse, several fleeing teams were attacked, and a combatant was knocked off by the monsters and fell into the group of monsters under the lighthouse.

The flesh flap of a dead black beast wrapped around him and swallowed him in. A shrill scream accompanied by the sound of kacha chewing flesh reverberated through the night sky, and the flesh and blood stumps and shreds leaked from the gap of the flesh flap. come out.

The screams stopped abruptly, leaving only the creepy chewing sound.

Rhode frowned, there were many monsters below, the black dead beasts were thick and fleshy, and they were very dull to hit. Even if he was full of firepower, he could not clear so many monsters.

At this time, he saw many evacuated teams running towards the lighthouse in the distance.

Rhodes glanced at his inventory, there was no embers, and the phlogiston was used up.

What to do, find a way to notify them to retreat?

At this moment, the fire suddenly lit up.

Rhode turned his head happily and asked, "You still have lingering fire..."

No one spoke, and in the bright flame ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ two warriors smiled at them, and one of them lip-synched, "Aren't our souls bright?"

After a few seconds, they turned to ashes.

The bright and clear flame swayed slightly, as if nothing had happened.

But the lighthouse once again burst into bright light.

More monsters gathered.

The beam of light like the spear of God shines on the survivors who have just experienced the extreme horror, helping them to dispel the shadow of death.

The captain said with a smile: "The one who holds the fire is different. It burns brighter."

The soldiers also laughed: "That's right."

Rhode felt blood rushed to the top of his head, clenched his fists but didn't know what to say: "You..."

The captain said: "You quickly learn how to operate the mirror, don't waste our fire."

A soldier said: "I put two **** of peripheral vision below, the entrance has been blocked by me, you don't have to worry."

Another soldier said: "I sprinkled blue marrow ashes on the tower, and the black dead can't climb up. The defense of the lighthouse is enough for them to fight for two days."

Rhodes opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

And just like that, the warriors walked into the fire one by one, lighting the flames with their souls.

The captain was the last to go in.

Before leaving, he said: "After the fire is weak, you have to wait for the opportunity to escape, don't try to light the fire, no one operates the reflector, it is a waste."

The captain waved his hand.

"It will become stronger in the future. If you kill a few more monsters, we will kill them."

Rhode's throat rolled for a while, and he hoarsely spit out a word:

"it is good."

The captain walked into the fire, and the fire became brighter than ever.

Rhodes operated three mirrors by himself to see off the evacuees in the distance.

Also for them.
