The Last King of Darkness Chapter 205

In the next few days, Rhodes spent in the highest military headquarters.

Dalin intends to bring him by his side, let him contact the affairs of the military department, and appoint Molly, the dispatcher, as his assistant to help him understand many things.

Molly is very beautiful, tall and curvaceous, but her face is serious, her expression is cold, and she wears a pair of gold wire glasses, and her cold eyes always make people shy away.

She is very familiar with the affairs of the military department and has a high level of business. With her help, Rhodes quickly learned about the Trorian defense system.

Also saw the map of this world for the first time.

It was a giant black painting that covered the battle command room.

In the center of the giant painting, there is a huge partition, that is, a giant mountain that stretches for thousands of miles, Trorian's true umbrella—

Cinder Mountains.

The King City is located in a corner of the mountain range.

To the east of the royal city, the red earth plain of nearly 800 miles is the area controlled by the entire Trorian humans.

The Crimson Mountains blocked the entire north and east of the kingdom with a corner that was very small for itself.

Trorian's defensive circle stretched from the mountains in the east to the west, forming an arc of defense that blocked all threats from the south.

Molly told Rhodes.

"The north and east sides of Trorian have been blocked, and the expansion to the south has reached its limit. The Fortress of Courage is the farthest we have reached."

"It is very costly to expand further, not only to clear the swamp of despair full of evil, but also to remove the defense line from the cover of the Cinder Mountains, thereby increasing the defensive pressure to the east."

Snapped.

She hit the wall with a pointer, her delicate face and serious expression made her look like some kind of teacher.

"So, our only expansion direction is the West."

"Here is the stronghold we are expanding, the City of Stars."

"More than one-fifth of our strength is gathered in the city, defending against external threats, and at the same time cleaning up the filth that has accumulated in the city for thousands of years."

Rhodes looked at the map and quickly understood Wangcheng's strategic intentions.

Instead of going south, it's better to expand westward along the mountains, so that the pressure on human beings is much less.

However, even so, the human defense line collapsed several times.

Expanding outward is an extremely difficult thing, it will take up a lot of manpower and material resources and make the entire line of defense vulnerable.

During this period of expansion, it just caught up with the Kuroshio.

Wang Cheng was almost roasted on the fire, and even the students who were still in the academy mobilized, trying to use all their thoughts to deploy their combat power.

This also led to a considerable number of people in the royal city who opposed expansion.

They believed that if the King City hadn't occupied the City of Stars, the Kuroshio would not have suffered such a big loss this time.

Molly said coldly: "This is a rather wrong perception. Expansion is the only way out for human beings, and holding on is waiting for death."

Rhode asked curiously, "Why?"

Molly said indifferently:

"In the past history, Trorian has suffered countless disasters, and several of them almost led to the destruction of Trorian, and the history of Trorian has also been faulted."

"Those disasters, we call them mass extinctions."

"We still don't know the reason for the mass extinction, but we infer from some clues that Trorian was far stronger than us today when the mass extinction occurred."

"Such a powerful human kingdom is still heading for destruction, how can we be spared?"

"We don't know when the next mass extinction will come. All we can do is to do our best to move forward, to move forward, to move forward by any means."

There was no expression on Molly's delicate face, and her voice was as indifferent as ever, but the fervor contained in it was unimaginable.

"We just want to survive, and we can pay any price to survive," she said coldly.

But another dispatcher, holding a flower basket, disagreed.

"What's the point of living for such a person? Endless pain, endless torture, silent death."

Molly said coldly: "It is meaningless to live, but if you live, you can find interesting things, just like you found this flower, just like I found him."

The cold female assistant pointed her finger at Rhodes.

Rhode scratched his head: "Am I funny?"

"right."

The female assistant said softly, "Your Excellency Dalin said that you will bring us smiles, and I trust Dalin as much as I trust the torch."

The dispatcher placed the flower baskets for the upcoming celebration.

"Molly," he said softly, "I envy you."

Molly's indifferent face showed no expression, and she continued pointing at the map.

"So, we need a larger site and more resources."

"What restricts the development of the entire Trorian is resources. We need sun stones, spiritual crystal ore, more phlogiston and firewood, and more fire seeds. If we don't expand into the darkness, we don't have any of these."

"This is not an encroachment, we are just taking back our heritage, our former home."

Her brilliant speech drew a round of applause, and a small man who was laying out the streamers shouted: "Molly, you're so good, I love you!"

Molly pushed on her gold-rimmed glasses, ignoring him.

Afterwards, she introduced in detail the high-quality sun stone ore and raw crystal ore hidden under the city of stars, as well as the items left by Trorian's predecessors in the city.

According to the exploration by historians, the city of stars has been lost for about six hundred years.

According to the remains underground, it was built earlier, at least three thousand years ago.

The expedition found some places of worship of the gods in the city, and traces of battles suspected to be gods. Wangcheng is preparing to send more people to explore.

After talking about the city of stars, Molly began to talk about world geography.

At present, Trorian has discovered a total of four continents, with the Dead Cinder Mountains as the dividing line, and the gray soil continent to the south, which is the continent where Trorian is located.

To the north is the Dead Land Continent.

The out-of-bounds survey team of the Survey Corps has reached the end of the Cinder Mountains, a land known as the Crimson Continent.

In the extreme north, in the farther dark depths, there is a land covered with ice, called the Ice Continent.

This is the farthest world that Trorian humans have reached, the world that Trorian can observe.

Outside the observable world, there is a larger unknown world.

What kind of terrifying existence is hidden in such dark depths?

People can only know it in their imagination.

Rhodes couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no other human beings besides us?"

Molly said lightly: "Yes, we have found records in the fragments of history that we once interacted with multiple Fire King cities. Trorian, who established our King City in the Dark Age, may not be the only human hero."

"But in the vast darkness, such communication has been interrupted for a long time. We are building a world tower, which can listen to the voice of the world. When it is completed, it may hear the voices of other surviving humans and find other Fire King City."

Rhodes couldn't help holding out a glimmer of hope. If there were other humans, wouldn't the chances of survival be greatly improved if everyone united together?

Subsequently, Molly introduced in detail the role of Trorian's many departments.

Only then did Rhode know how complicated the composition of the royal city was.

Just the combat organization, there are three main legions (city defense legion, expedition legion, investigation legion), six special legions (night watcher legion, knight legion, Kalil's hidden unit, hunter legion, holy church battle legion, Forbidden Arms of the Silver Oath).

In addition, there are also some independent chapters~www.mtlnovel.com~ such as the King's Guard, the Conjuring Guardian (already destroyed), the Holy Fire Defender and so on.

The highest military headquarters should take into account all these combat powers and allocate them to various regional strongholds in the most reasonable way.

This is an incomparably complicated job, and at present, the first defense, Dalin, has done it very well.

Therefore, Yolev Dalin is also known as one of the four pillars of the royal city.

But the work of the Supreme Military War Department is not only that, the subordinate General Defense Department, General Armament Department, General Logistics Department, and General Command Headquarters are in charge of everything related to combat, including logistics and production.

The Engineering Research Institute, the Seamans Factory that produces a large number of standard equipment, the Byron Alchemy and Pharmaceutical Factory that refines most of the pharmaceuticals, and so on, are also under their management.

Just listening, Rhodes felt dizzy, which is really something very people can figure out.

Finally, Molly focused on an organization called "The White Tower".

In the dark world, full of disasters of all kinds, the Kuroshio is just one of countless disasters.

How to predict the occurrence of disasters and make corresponding preparations is a very important thing.

It is precisely by the White Tower.

The White Tower focuses on observing the spiritual world and predicting disasters in the material world through disturbances in the spiritual world.

Many disasters were discovered in advance by the White Tower, saving Trorian a great deal of damage.

The star observatory on the White Pagoda is responsible for observing the phases of the sun, the moon, the stars, predicting the weather, and responsible for the revision and forecasting of dates.

Many actions can only be decided after receiving this information.

Meredith, Lord of the White Tower, and Iyeta, the Great Prophet, are one of the pillars of the royal city.

After listening, Rhode couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are our sun, moon, and stars like?"
