MTL - The Last King of Darkness-Chapter 26 catastrophe
The voice fell.
There was dead silence in the hall.
After a while, Lockhart, the commander of the expedition legion, shouted:
"King! We are not enough!"
"The investigation legion has confirmed that there is turmoil in the Withered Lands, and after the end of the next Fire Day, the Kuroshio will come!"
"We will lose dearly!"
Cross, the commander of the city defense corps, also shouted: "The pressure on the southwest front is very high. After the last special operation, we alerted the ancient evil creatures in the Swamp of Despair and the Forest of Terror, and the balance of the dead place has been broken. The Fortress of Light is about to lose its hold!"
Wang said calmly: "Let the fire guardians and fire priests of the sacrificial grounds come to support."
"Uh…"
Cross's voice suddenly fell:
"They are indeed very strong. If Liguang Fortress can have their help, they can indeed share a lot of pressure, but..."
But the voice of the white-robed Archbishop Horus suddenly rose: "Impossible! Absolutely not! This is the most powerful force in the royal region, and their task is to guard the holy fire..."
Wang smiled and said, "Xiao Hehe, do you think I can't guard the holy fire? Do you mean I'm not strong enough?"
Horus was dumbfounded.
The king is of course the strongest. The soul characteristic of every king is eternal fire. They resonate with the holy fire. When they gain the strongest power, they are also the most imprisoned. Eternal life cannot leave the radiation range of the holy fire.
According to the oldest tradition, the king is the true guardian of the flame.
It would be hard to believe if any monsters or doomsday believers could invade the sacred fire shrine, kill the king, and extinguish the sacred fire.
However, as their heart, the torch should be protected no matter how closely it is protected. This has become the inertia of their thinking and the blind spot of strategic subordinates.
It was difficult to accept the sudden removal of the elite fire protector.
Everyone was silent, trying to turn the ideological bend.
But soon, Lockhart shouted again: "Not enough! Wang, the pressure on the Western Front and the City of Stars is also very high. When the Kuroshio comes, we will definitely not be able to hold it."
Wang smiled and said, "The clergy and the Night's Watch troops in Wangcheng can go to support."
Horus suddenly jumped up again: "No, absolutely not, what about the royal city?"
Wang smiled and said, "I'm in Wangcheng, don't you trust me?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, one of the consuls murmured: "But, king, you can guard the holy fire, but you can't patrol the entire royal city, the monsters that breed in the shadows and invisible dark places will make our order very damaged."
Wang smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that we still have a strong reserve force?"
Everyone raised their heads for a moment, especially the commanders and defense ministers of the military department: "What is it?"
Wang turned his attention to Theodore, the chief dean of Kingworth College, and revealed the mystery with a smile.
"It's a student of Jinworth, our fighter reserve, they will help us protect the royal city."
—
In the end, Wang's suggestion was accepted with great difficulty.
Although it attracted strong opposition from everyone at the beginning, the students of Jinworth College are their future sparks. Whenever the graduation season comes, all the legion commanders and important functional institutions will go to the college to grab people, and many departments even The personnel planning has been completed at the level of a freshman.
Since the new king took office, the Trorian Kingdom has been expanding. While gaining a lot of resources and living space, it has also caused a shortage of people in various places.
Every department and institution is eagerly waiting for them to graduate, and the chief dean Theodore has been urged or threatened more than once, and the whimsical proposal to change the annual issue to half a year has appeared frequently.
Wang suddenly said that no one could accept that these undeveloped babies would enter a potentially dangerous actual combat environment.
However, the specific means of execution proposed by Wang was really excellent, which minimized the risks, and the foreseeable huge benefits after the implementation of Wang Zhi's plan also made them very tempted.
After all, no one wants to "have it all".
It's just not allowed in most cases.
In this way, Wang Zhi's plan was passed, and the specific implementation was handed over to the Military War Department.
Everyone is full of anticipation and anxiety at the same time, wondering how such a very risky plan will end? Will the newly prosperous Trorian kingdom continue to prosper, or will it be interrupted and return to the once dark and cold era?
No one can be sure, but everyone is sure that as long as this difficulty is overcome, the dawn will come, Trorian will be more and more prosperous, and the blood of life will be in this dark and dead continent. bloom on.
Just as Tesrivian predicted.
When the king of thirst is born, the darkness will end.
—
Tesrivian Gregorian calendar year 1325.
third month.
Day three.
Rhodes refused the green-haired invitation to go to the goblin bar in the college market area to "feel the fusion of spirits", and he did not agree to go to the "Stars Restaurant" with Wayne to participate in the freshman celebration organized by the students themselves.
And he didn't go to the special training of psionic breathing method organized by Kashan-
Regular psionic strengthening training was of no use to him, he seemed to only be able to increase his psionic power by igniting the stars.
What Rhode needs most now is to learn some fighting styles and techniques, which is his current weakest point and the biggest obstacle for him to get the "Jinworth Star".
Fortunately, the identity of "special student" played a key role at this time, and the red armband of the academic affairs office specially tailored training courses for him.
- Handjob.
This is the optimal solution based on Rhodes' current situation.
And the counselor in charge of this training course is the academy's distinguished researcher, the magnificent eldest sister Mina.
Maybe it's because the confidant sister Mina is too sweet and broad-minded. She is very good at handjobs and has extremely high skills.
Rhodes only had seven shots in twelve seconds when she was on drugs. When she got started, she shot seven shots in one second, and every shot hit the bull's-eye, stunned Rhodes.
Under her careful teaching, Rhode's pistol skills have been greatly improved. For the first time, he knew that there were so many skills and details in pistols. You can also take slow shots, strong shots, light shots, fast and slow shots, and a light shot from the top nine.
The "Raven" spirit gun that Lauren gave him also did more than he thought.
According to Mina, this is a limited-grade firearm carefully crafted by the Seamans factory. After 1301, the factory stopped production because the limited-grade elite weapon was too time-consuming. Although it is powerful and versatile, the price is very low. , mass production of standard weapons is the best choice.
"but."
Mina chuckled and pressed her slender fingers to Rhodes' cheeks. There was a slight cool feeling on the fingertips, like lotus flowers in summer, which surprised Rhodes.
"There are bigger, thicker and stronger psionic firearms in the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. As long as you can become a full-fledged combatant, you are eligible to apply to the War Department. So don't worry, you can always shoot a pistol. Now The techniques learned can be used in the future.”
Rhode's eyes lit up and quickly asked, "Then can I apply now?"
Mina smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you are still very weak, and you can't control a weapon that is too strong. This limited-level raven can accompany you for at least five years."
Rhodes was a little disappointed. If he could transport the super-powerful weapon to the dreamland, wouldn't his major existential crisis be lifted?
However, the weapons in this world are limited, and it is not something that ordinary people can easily use.
For example, the minimum psionic power requirement to use "Raven" is 12 ticks, below which the psychic gun cannot be charged.
And those powerful weapons must have required much more psionic power than he currently does.
"Don't be in a daze."
Mina gently took off his gun from behind, helped him take off his sweaty coat, touched his exaggerated pectoral muscles, and chuckled.
"Come on, my sister will examine you."
Rhode touched his nose and felt a little uncomfortable.
Although Mina is beautiful and graceful, he likes the type of Xiaoniaoyiren's younger sister, but now people are under the eaves, whether to bow their heads or bow their heads, and don't hesitate when it's time to use stunts.
As long as you can survive, big sister or something is fine.
But it is a pity that Rhodes has yet to find a big sister who can make him go to the sky, and the blue stars that are getting weaker and weaker have become a problem for him.
Rhodes was skeptical that it would go out before he got the first-class "Star of Kingworth" medal.
Once it is really extinguished, he will definitely not be able to detect the two sparks, the competitiveness will drop significantly, and the "Golden Worth Star" will definitely not be obtained.
The resulting chain reaction, like a multi-grummy card, caused all of his follow-up plans to fail.
By that time, he will not be far from death.
Rhodes stood on the inspection disc with a heavy heart, and put his hand on the crystal ball.
"Well... the maximum psionic strength is 77 ticks, the maximum psychic output is 18 ticks, the spiritual pressure is 6, and the predicted total psionic energy is 6.5-22.1 thousand ticks. Rhode, have you been in a bad state recently? Are you overworked?" Mina's tone was a little low, and her crystal-like eyes looked at him worriedly.
Rhodes froze in his heart, knowing that this was the result of the blue stars about to go out.
But he can't explain it, otherwise it will involve the truth that he is not a Spark Sequence at all, nor is he a Fire Holder.
"One thing, I have been very heavy in my studies recently. I have to get excellent grades in six main courses and seven elective courses. There are many things."
"Don't fight like this, the days are long, you have to know how to relax, or your nerves will be broken." Mina said softly, quickly wrote down Rhode's data, and said, "Your psychic upgrade ceremony is fast. Get ready, it's expected to be held next Monday, you must rest well during this time."
Rhode nodded, this is also a good thing, it will improve his competitiveness in winning medals.
But the worries in my heart have not eased in the slightest. There are still thirteen days left for the selection of the "Golden Worth Star", and the blue stars may not be able to hold it.
How to do?
Want to take a risk?
Rhode was hesitant, and when he was about to go back and think about it, the door of the Hadler training ground was suddenly pushed open, and the red armbands walked in with three servants such as Shaw.
He grabbed Rhodes who was about to go out, and said with a smile, "It happens that you are here to save me the trouble."
Turning his head, he raised his voice and said:
"All special students, stop training, come to me, I have something important to announce."
The Heidler training ground is a very large circular enclosed venue with two floors up and down. The main training ground is in the middle, and there are many small rooms around.
At this point in time, all the trainees were special students. The red armbands were not very loud, but they could be heard clearly throughout the venue.
For a time, the students in the main training ground jumped onto the second-floor platform and gathered towards the red armband, and a lot of them also poured out from the small rooms around.
At first glance, there are about two hundred people, all of them are chatting and laughing, poised, and they seem to have an extraordinary bearing. There are not a few odd-shaped guys, but no one cares about them. On the contrary, Rhodes, who is a rookie for one year, is very prominent and often provoked. People look sideways.
When they came to the red armband, they subconsciously divided into many small groups. Rhode noticed that there was a group full of beautiful young ladies.
"cough!"
The red armband coughed, interrupting Rhodes' thoughts.
"I just received a notice from the President, His Excellency Theodore. In order to ensure the healthy, continuous and comprehensive development of the students, and for Trorian's good development momentum to not be interrupted, it was proposed by His Excellency the President, and Wangcheng discussed matters. It will be approved by the meeting and signed by the new king, and Jinworth College will conduct practical training exercises from tomorrow. The specific regulations are as follows:"
"Take the department group as a unit, make a unified declaration to the college, and the college will assign it. The students must form a patrol team with the specified personnel at the specified time to perform patrol tasks in the designated area."
"In order to ensure safety, the patrol team consists of four people, and one of them must be a teacher or a student. The personal strength of the students must match the security level of the area."
"The command authority during the patrol period is vested in the military and war departments in the area. Those who do not obey orders or leave their posts without authorization will be charged with major demerits, deducted credits, and if there are other serious consequences, they will be dismissed."
"Note: One-year new students are only allowed to patrol the area of the hospital."
After reading the red armband, he took out a large stack of paper.
"Special students have special procedures. Your specific location will be personally reviewed by the Wangcheng Army War Headquarters. This is your declaration form. Any data on it must be filled in truthfully. The form will be checked by the department and the internal affairs ruling. Data will be severely punished!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a small cheer from the crowd, and they seemed to have long waited.
"Don't rob, don't rob! If you tear it apart, you will pay!"
"Hippo! I said no random filling is allowed. Your psionic power is only 1200. What do you mean by adding a zero?"
"Babe! Do you have 100 Spirit Vision?"
"O'Harry! Do you want me to slap me? You lit 50 fires? Who's filling up my books and deducting credits!"
After a while of confusion, the red armband finally came to Rhodes and said with a smile: "Rod, your situation is rather special. I understand very well. I have already cancelled the declaration form for you. You don't have to go, and you don't need to thank me."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Rhodes' eyes as if he was going to eat people.

at the same time.
Empire.
Uptown.
Court of Internal Affairs.
Adjudication Chief Lucien held a plenary meeting.
"This is the most vulnerable time of the king's city. Our enemies are not monsters, but inhumans who are more cunning and hidden than monsters. For those twisted doomsday believers, this is their best chance."
A cracked smile appeared on Lucian's wrinkled face.
"It's ours too."
