The Last King of Darkness Chapter 229

The convoy headed west along the established route.

They are routes specially developed by Wangcheng to ensure the logistics of Star City, and they are relatively safe.

The expedition will follow this route first to the City of Stars, and then from the City of Stars to the Town of Stars.

Although the materials and personnel were relatively expensive, the forty horse carriages of the expedition were still considered luxurious.

Lingma is the only creature in the spiritual world that humans tame. It can not only exist for a long time in the material world, but also enter a state of deep sleep and shrink into a small ball that can be carried around.

The only disadvantage is that it is expensive and only eats psionic crystals.

The group of elders originally only planned to distribute some new mechanical bicycles and carriages from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. General hearses cannot go out of the city, and hearses that can go out of the city are also very expensive.

But the king gave this property to Rhodes.

It means that Rhodes used his own private goods to expedition, and the elders have no right to speak up.

The speed of the spirit horse is very fast, dragging the carriage and running wildly on the road.

This shocking pleasure is not something ordinary people can enjoy.

The territory on the west side of the royal city is not large.

After walking for less than two hundred miles, he left the outermost periphery of the defense circle and entered the dark world.

Then go four hundred miles westward along the Dead End Mountains, and you will find the City of Stars.

This is an ancient city with countless treasures.

According to scholarly research, it belongs to the Starry Kingdom in the Age of Fire.

This kingdom worships the stars and believes that it can draw power from the stars, and the Queen of the Stars, the supreme ruler of the kingdom, has the only feature that can be inherited through blood—falling stars.

After the fall of the Starry Kingdom some 1500 years ago, the Queen of Stars fell into darkness, and this soul characteristic never appeared in the world again.

Since entering the dark era, human beings have basically been destroyed, and the fire has disappeared from the earth, leaving only a faint light.

The ancient city was long silent in the darkness, only briefly controlled by Trorian six hundred years ago.

When the Battle of Falling Stars failed, the Trorian mankind turned from prosperity to decline, and never set foot here again.

until today.

Trorian's expedition army finally gained a firm foothold in the City of Stars and established a stable connection and supply channel with the kingdom.

However, in the long time, countless darkness has settled in this ancient city.

Although the expeditionary corps basically occupied the city and ignited the fire of protection, the soldiers were still clearing the filth and darkness in the depths, and there was no extra strength to build a defense system with the city of stars as the core stronghold.

And Fanxing Town is an important stronghold in such a system.

It was located three hundred and seventy kilometers away from the northwest corner of the City of Stars, and was a key node in the envisaged defense system.

Through it, it is possible to continue to advance in all directions, and it is an important stronghold for Trorian's expansion into the dark world, the starting point of a greater blueprint.

That's why conservatives and opponents are so adamantly opposed to the move.

Rhode's burden is actually much greater than he imagined.

Choosing him was beyond everyone's expectations.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Captain O'Hara came to the carriage and shouted, "Lord Commander, we have arrived at the City of Stars."

Rhode woke up from his contemplation and replied, "Okay, I see."

Molly opened the car door and the two got out of the car together.

They will be here for a short refreshment, and meet Lockhart, the commander of the expedition, and Cross, the commander of the city defense, to see if they can get some help.

Molly said softly: "If Lord Lockhart can support us with some supplies, or lend us some soldiers, the situation may change, but the possibility is not high, and the road to Fanxing Town will be difficult."

Suddenly, a light flashed in Rhodes mind.

At the same time, the oppression of the void came again, and he immediately used [Awaken].

But the breath of the void only pushed a half step, and the spiritual energy was rapidly evaporating into the void.

Before Rhode could think about it, he grabbed Molly and pulled her back into the carriage.

O'Hara said in surprise, "Lord Commander?"

Rhode's answer came from the car: "Wait for me for 30 seconds."

O'Hara and the surrounding warriors looked at each other.

30 seconds?

What can you do in 30 seconds?

Inside the carriage, Rhodes didn't have time to talk nonsense.

Pointing directly to the map, he said: "We have a stronghold here, and there is no better location than this."

Molly followed his fingers, and for the first time there was doubt in her eyes.

"This is a dungeon, a monster lair."

Rhodes ignored her look and said quickly.

"If my plan goes well, it won't happen soon. With a dungeon as a stronghold, everything is easy to do."

"After I leave, you lock this carriage and don't allow anyone to open it, and don't allow anyone to approach, otherwise my plan will fail, do you understand?"

Molly's expression returned to seriousness and rigidity, the other expressions always fading like thin ice on her fiery face.

"I see."

"Then, the task of meeting with the legion commander is left to you, and I'm leaving."

Rhode activated the spirit boat, and the mist like a white lake quickly enveloped him.

Since there is no past Fanxing Town, the spirit boat cannot travel in the spiritual world, nor can it navigate automatically, and can only be manually controlled to fly to the southwest.

The [Spiritual Boat], which had reached the highest potential, was extremely fast, and the soldiers only saw a white mass flying out of the carriage after a break, and disappeared behind the black mist in the blink of an eye.

O'Hara wondered, "What is this?"

clatter.

Molly stepped out of the carriage and instructed, "Lock the carriage and arrange for five soldiers to take turns guarding it, and no one is allowed to approach."

O'Hara came to her senses, and although she felt strange, obeying orders was the duty of a warrior.

"Yes, Mr. Deputy Commander."

"Konder, come with me to see Lord Legionnaire."

"Yes, Mr. Deputy Commander."

Molly, tall and serious, walked towards the city of stars not far away with a powerful aura.

Vice-captain Conder followed behind Molly. He was not as tall as Molly, which further highlighted her strength.

And in the thick darkness, Rhodes was flying to the southwest at an alarming speed.

The map has been imprinted in his mind, and his super-high spirit vision also prevents him from getting lost.

Rhodes is very clear now.

Just now, he had set the resurrection point of the Resurrection Stone in the carriage.

Now, he is about to rush into the monster's lair to commit suicide.

If the inference is correct, his death will have some powerful effect.

During the last Kuroshio mission, there was a particularly strong disturbance at the second node.

It was the effect of the original plan that was amplified by this disturbance, which in turn led to the overall turn of the Kuroshio, and the disaster ended ahead of schedule.

The Wangcheng Army War Department, Baita and many societies are still studying this issue, trying to find the reason for the disturbance so that it can be used again in the future.

From the spiritual world to the astrology, from the monster mutation to the chaotic system, they have searched for all the reasons, and they have not found a statement that convinces most people.

Only Rhode knows that the only difference between the second node and the first node is that he died there.

Not killed by monsters, but devoured by the void.

In his impression, when he died, that mighty force did not seem to stop, but instead became more violent.

From this, Rhodes came up with an inference.

This abnormal death may cause some kind of powerful explosion.

Rhodes had an idea since he overused psionic energy at the dragon.

The first thing I did when I took office in Fanxing Town was to use a super self-destruction to open up the situation.

However, where is the location of the self-destruction?

This is what Rhodes had been thinking about before.

Did it detonate in Starry Town? Or detonate around?

Or detonate in the most dangerous Yoon Soeun ruins?

It was not until he arrived at the City of Stars that Molly's words reminded Rhodes.

In the process of establishing a new human stronghold, the smoothness of the route is the most important.

If they are cut off from the world of fire, aren't they abandoned sons wandering alone in the dark?

From the map, the dungeon lair in the east of Fanxing Town was the biggest obstacle, and it just cut off a perfect route.

If this rock can be removed, then their access to the King City and Star City will be greatly shortened, and with a little cleaning, it will become much safer.

Moreover, the easily disturbed monster lair is obviously the most dangerous factor in the expedition, and must be eliminated in advance.

If they're lucky, they'll also get a perfect dungeon stronghold.

Such a stronghold that can kill multiple birds with one stone is naturally the only one.

Rhode's heart exploded with blood, and desperately urged the spirit boat to fly towards it.

The spirit boat consumes a lot of spiritual energy, but it is nothing compared to the powerful attraction in the void.

Under the infinite [Awakening], even leftovers are not counted.

But for a moment, Rhodes had already seen the huge monster lair.

The breath of the abyss is very obvious, black cracks are scattered in all directions, there is a huge scar on the ground, and some abyss monsters and strange demons are wandering on the ground.

In the center of the scar, there is a huge circular pit.

The thick black mist gathered in the pit, and even the eye of the soul could not penetrate, and the endless darkness was like an abyss.

Obviously, that is the legendary abandoned dungeon.

it is good!

You are the one!

Rhodes turned around and charged straight into the giant crater.

Taste the wrath of the void!

In a hollow next to the giant pit.

Dozens of shadows were carefully shrinking under a boulder, and an invisible barrier blocked their breath.

They are the shadow troops raised by Justice Amoria, who do some shameful things for him.

At this moment, they have prepared the fire pot, and they are waiting for the expedition to arrive near Fanxing Town, and they will detonate the monster's lair and let them be swallowed by the strange monster.

Suddenly, someone yelled, "What is that?"

Everyone looked up, but the white shadow flashed past and crashed into the giant pit.

"Are you dazzled?"

"I really saw it."

"Pay attention to me, it's very dangerous here."

"But I really saw it."

"Are you finished..."

"To shut up!"

The captain suddenly spoke, he closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and said, "No, there is news from the inner city of Star City, they did not see that kid, and some people in the expedition team said that someone saw a white light fly away. already."

The crowd cheered up.

"Captain, you mean, that kid flew into the giant pit alone?"

"What does he want to do?"

The captain said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing."

"what should we do?"

"Start the plan immediately and detonate the nest directly. No matter what that kid wants to do, he will be swallowed by the abyss. As long as he dies, the expedition will fail by 90%!"

"Yes! Not at all!"

"Your wisdom is so profound!"

"With you here, we will surely succeed!"

"As long as this mission is successful, we can go back and enjoy it to the fullest!"

In the touts, the crowd prepared hundreds of fire pots and threw them into the giant pit.

This is an unprecedented crater.

Its radius is about 2,000 steps. Countless strange monsters and abyss monsters are densely lying on the wall. Black sticky substances are everywhere. The corrosive breath of the abyss is straight to the nose. .

But Rhodes still found traces of man-made objects from this terrifying scene.

There are square markings and ladder-like structures all over the walls of the crater.

They are neat and regular, like rows of rooms and stairs.

Is this giant pit itself a dungeon?

This thought flashed in Rhodes' mind, and the void had grabbed him. No matter how many times he used [Awakening], the void would no longer take a half step back.

The terrifying aura was approaching him, and the infinite amount of spiritual energy owed formed an incomparably huge void, which firmly absorbed him, and the spiritual energy generated by each [Awakening] disappeared instantly.

The backlash of the void is about to explode!

Rhodes was very anxious.

He found that the dungeon was much deeper than he had imagined, with countless strange demons entrenched in it, and an outbreak might not be able to be cleaned up.

How can I gather the monsters together?

Rhode's psionic energy is no longer available, the spirit boat has disappeared, and he is now freely falling.

Some of the demons noticed him and were flying towards him.

But this number is far from enough.

Rhodes tried desperately to attract attention, but he couldn't make much noise without psionic power.

Oops, I didn't just fry half, did I?

By then, won't it be more troublesome to have monsters crawling all over the ground?

Suddenly, a huge monster flew in front of it~www.mtlnovel.com~ Hundreds of thin black lines flew out from behind it and stabbed him.

At the same time, the raging void also rushed toward the face.

It can only be hoped that the power of the void's backlash is strong enough.

Rhode thought to himself, when he was about to close his eyes and die, something exploded above his head.

Intense flames instantly shone through the entire crater, and the turbulent flames blew open like inflated balloons, and the aura of rotten substances scattered and splashed in all directions.

The huge noise suddenly alarmed all the monsters in the giant pit.

A piece of blackness poured out from the sky and the ground. The entire crater was like a flood of water, and black things poured out.

Rhodes was overjoyed, and frantically used [Awakening], only hoping to prolong it by half a second.

The black tide drowned him in the blink of an eye, the spikes of the alien pierced his body, and the pain came from the nerves.

But Rhodes was already smiling.

His purpose was achieved.

Whoever it is, thank you.

boom!

Rhodes was torn to shreds by aliens, but something more terrifying rages from the origin of his death.

Except for a worthless body, the red-eyed void didn't get anything from Rhodes, and it devoured the surrounding monsters frantically to make up for its unparalleled huge void.

All monsters are grasped by invisible hands, all substances with spirit are sucked into the invisible twisted space, and the overwhelming black cannot make up for its powerful suction.

The gravitational force of the void even spread to the ground, grabbing the shadow crowd who were about to use the Blinking Charm to escape.

"How come..."

Before a word was said, their bodies and souls had been swallowed by the void, leaving only a floor of clothes and sundries.

City of Stars.

Inside the horse's car.

Rhodes opened his eyes again.
