The Last King of Darkness

After Rhodes left the Sacred Fire Shrine, Horus asked strangely, "King, why are your words... so strange?"

The king sat back on the throne in front of the golden sacred artifact, stared at the golden flame that burns forever, and replied casually: "Little Hehe, this is what Theodore told me in the last soul communication, he told me little Rhodes. The soul of a man likes words like slap in the face, and using it properly can inspire Rhodes' fighting spirit."

Horus nodded: "Young man, be vigorous."

Wang smiled and said, "Is that a young man if you are not angry?"

Horus nodded and said: "It is a characteristic of young people to not know the heights of the sky and the earth. What is rare is that after he knows the heights of the sky and the earth, he still does not know the heights of the sky and the earth."

After a pause, he asked again.

"Wang, what else did Your Excellency Theodore say? Doing ideological work is the responsibility of the Holy Church, and it is also the responsibility of the Archbishop. I want to educate him well."

Wang pondered for a moment and said, "He also particularly likes a dress called black silk."

Briefly describe the characteristics of black silk.

Horus nodded and said: "I understand, I'll find the best tailor in Wangcheng, cut out a set of black silk, and attach the curse of the wind, so that he can run faster in battle, little Rhodes will love it."

Wang didn't think deeply, there was a terrifying echo in the void, the source of the holy fire was shaking, and his spirit had already flown into the holy fire, trying his best to maintain its stability.

Horus looked silently at the golden flame that became violent and gave off a terrifying aura, and thought to himself, "Cross, Lockhart, why haven't you occupied the city of stars yet?"

"Is the Holy Fire plan feasible?"

"What should I do with the opponents in the royal city?"

"Where will our future go?"

Countless distracting thoughts rushed to his face, entangled Horus like a spider web, he couldn't get rid of it, he got deeper and deeper, and finally, there was only one thought left in his mind.

"Little Rhodes, you must succeed..."

When Rhodes left the sacred fire shrine, the time had already passed.

He saw the night sky of this world for the first time.

The night sky without black fog is so clear and clear, the thin clouds are like swaying veils, the stars are like a silver flame, the bright silver moon hangs high in the sky, and the frost-like moonlight shrouds the royal city.

The night scene was so beautiful and quiet that Rhode was immersed in it for a long time.

There was one thing that Rhode didn't want to understand before.

In such a dark and hopeless world, how did these people persist in surviving?

Now he understands that it is because such miracles and hope still exist.

Rhodes sat on the floating hearse and looked down.

The entire Wangcheng was immersed in the lights and moonlight. There were huge crowds of people everywhere, and people were rubbing shoulders. There were night markets that had never been seen before, and the sound of lively laughter was clearly audible even in the sky.

This is the human room.

Rhodes thought.

When the torch plan is successful, I will also find a beautiful young lady to enjoy the bright moon and stars and fireworks with me.

If Miss Sister asked me: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

I replied, "Hey hey hey."

Hey hey hey.

—

Uptown.

Come to Vail House.

Three of the ten justices of Wangcheng gathered here.

"Comeville." One of the justices said: "Wangcheng doesn't take us seriously anymore, and the matter of Gregor's murder is just forgotten."

"Yes." Another justice echoed: "Gregor, who is so diligent, honest and timid, cannot be a Doomsday believer."

"That's right, I think it was framed by the internal affairs ruling. They didn't find conclusive evidence, but they slandered him with some tricky things, just to protect that kid."

Justice Laver asked, "Why is that? Does he have any backing?"

One person said: "It is said that the guardian Qingyu values ​​him very much, and it may be her little lover."

"Yes, it must be so."

"It's too much, how can you trample on the laws of the royal city like this?"

"We have also made countless contributions, why are we not treated like this?"

"Wang even moved our property and confiscated our money for that expansion plan!"

"This is so unfair. Why do we have to toss like this? Isn't the lesson of history enough? Do you want another mass extinction? Can't we just stay in our homeland and enjoy the rich fruits?"

"I don't even have the money to buy servants!"

"I can only eat ten servings of honey roast beef a day!"

"I can't even drink the 82-year-old Samwell Mushroom Wine!"

"This Trorian really can't stay any longer. Let's go become doomsday believers."

There was silence in the mansion for a while, and a justice changed the subject: "So, we must stop the king's blind expansion plan, for Trorian."

"Yes, yes, for Trorian, no one loves Trorian more than us."

"That kid is the vanguard thrown by the king. We must find a way to kill him."

"Yes, we want to present our precious and correct opinions to the first elder, Lord Armando. The great joy is the source of all tragedies."

"Laiweier, our strength is not enough. We have to unite with the majority of people. As long as everyone bravely expresses their true wishes, the king will also respect our opinions."

"That's right, let's go to the Grand Adjudicator Manorobana first. He looks like a good person."

The three justices stood up together, the huge floating carriage fell before their eyes, and the white spirit horse neighed uncomfortably in front of the carriage.

This is the most high-end carriage in Wangcheng, and it is countless times more expensive than those new horseless hearses.

In their opinion, the new product of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering destroyed the sanctity of the carriage, allowing many cheap goods to gallop freely and even fly in the royal city.

With the development of Wangcheng, there are fewer and fewer creations that can reflect their dignity, and the status of the judge is far less than before.

All of this makes them very dissatisfied.

Although Trorian is far stronger than before, in their eyes, it is far less beautiful than before.

The three justices, as well as many people in the royal city, are eager to go back to the past.

Of course, not a hundred years or a thousand years ago, or the more distant era of fire or the era of gods, but the arrogant and extravagant years they once lived.

Rhodes returned to Kingworth College.

The secret branch base is next to the Heidler training ground in the deepest part of the academy. It is a castle that covers an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters and is guarded by school guards.

After a long absence, Rhodes couldn't help but feel overwhelmed when he saw the familiar building again.

The castle has not changed, and he has been very different.

The secret branch also received news of Rhodes' return. Instructor Sauron personally greeted him at the gate and gave Rhodes a bear hug as soon as they met.

"Our hero is finally back."

There were also many familiar faces.

His old friend Raislin also hugged him.

"Rod, I knew you were not an ordinary person!"

Iger shouted: "Big hero! Do you know how flamboyant you are? Now the beauties in the royal city who want to spend the spring night with you can form a legion!"

Karamon snorted coldly: "What's so great, yesterday at least a hundred stunning beauties begged to sleep with me, but I ruthlessly rejected them."

A limping big man came over and sneered: "Karamon, I saw you pestering Annabei all night, and she didn't let you in her door."

Karamon said angrily: "Berwood, don't mess around, I just have some questions about the use of psychic powers that I want to ask her!"

Rhode suddenly raised his head from the crowd: "Beorwood, are you not dead?"

The familiar big man smiled and said, "Who told you that I was dead?"

"Didn't you and Instructor Darkleaf go missing at the time?"

Beowood's face was a little dark: "They found me later. I was lucky. I was only seriously injured, but the instructor died."

Raistlin immediately said: "That **** has been killed by Rhodes! Public execution!"

Beowood smiled again: "Okay, you've said it a hundred times."

Karamon said fiercely: "I have to say it a hundred times! If I say it a thousand times, ten thousand times will not be enough. Gregor is not alone! Some people in the royal city are already rotten!"

"Yes, I don't believe Manolo Robana is innocent!"

"And those who messed with him!"

"We must cut them off! It's like cutting off the carrion!"

Rhodes remembered the Gregor incident, and they had been dealing with Manolo Robana at the Internal Affairs Tribunal.

But looking at it now, it obviously doesn't work.

Rhode was about to ask again, but was interrupted by Sauron.

"Okay, let's stop discussing this topic, no matter what you want to do, your own strength is always the most important."

"Now go back to the base, our nightmare training has not been completed yet."

—

After returning to the base, Rhode knew that the secret branch had also changed a lot.

Due to the outstanding performance of the members of the secret branch in the battle, after the end of the Kuroshio, the students of the "top class" were approved to graduate and became full members of the secret branch—

Stealth fighter.

Rhodes almost forgot that the hidden branch of Jinworth was actually a newly formed army.

They were trainees of the secret branch before, not yet full members.

Stealth fighters are the specific positions of the official fighters in each legion, just like the guards in the city defense army and the fighters in the expedition legion.

With official combatants, the covert branch is a complete legion.

Rhode finally understood what the king's words meant.

As a member of the secret branch, he is equivalent to an extra help, and many things will be much easier.

For example, forming gangs, fighting against differences, and so on.

In case of any predicament, with this important identity, it is possible to ask for support, and Wang will also reduce a lot of pressure.

Rhode thought to himself: "I need to have a good relationship with them. The members of the top class are very strong. If I can use their strength, many things will be much easier."

The interior of the base is the same as before. It is divided into upper, middle and lower training grounds. The accommodation rooms and functional areas are all underground.

But in the training ground, Rhodes saw a lot of new faces.

"Who are they? Are we hiring again?"

Sauron smiled and said, "Of course, after you graduate, new students will of course come in. In fact, not only our top class, but also a group of students in the regular class who performed well have graduated."

"It just so happens that half a semester at Jinworth College is over, the defense system of the King City has returned to normal, and the patrol practice class has ended. It is a normal thing for us to recruit some more qualified students."

Raistlin patted his chest and smiled and said, "Now, we are also seniors, and we have to guide and lead the junior students."

"Not only that, Rhodes is now the captain of the corps. He has to lead by example. It is not allowed to touch the **** of female students everywhere."

Rhode's face flushed, and he insisted, "I didn't touch that."

Karamon pouted and said: "Don't argue, the more you describe it, the more black it is. The Ethics Committee has received many complaints about you, and is investigating your wrongdoing. Waiting for you, there will be a huge fine."

Sauron also said seriously: "Little Rhodes, I will strictly monitor you. You'd better put away your astringent heart and don't have any crooked thoughts on our female students."

Rhodes is very depressed, am I like the kind of person who has a little power and plays unspoken rules?

Even if a female student asks me for something, it's normal for everyone to sleep and communicate, right?

Sauron said: "Let's go, Wangcheng has built a new training base for us, there are many new functions in it, let's go and see."

Rhode was about to turn his head when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It was a group of trainees who were sweating and beating a merry-go-round.

And one of the figures was very strong, and the fierce straight punch made the wooden man spin wildly, but he didn't receive a counterattack himself.

She has dazzling blond hair, light blue lake-like eyes, and a flat body that can't be concealed by a proper training suit.

When he saw her, she saw him too.

"Cassan!" Rhodes shouted.

Kashan, the former team leader of the tenth group, who had not seen each other for several months, had red eyes in an instant.
