The Last Dark King

Latest website: Laisuo City is one of the main auxiliary strongholds of the Iron Armor Fortress, and there are dozens of auxiliary strongholds near Laisuo City.

These defense systems composed of strongholds form a defense circle.

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

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

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

The marginal strongholds that had no sense of existence immediately received unprecedented attention.

A large number of instructions came from the old city of Baila and the Iron Armor War Zone, requiring them to ensure that the guidance lights were always on and to do their best to rescue the defeated soldiers.

"Warriors."

shouted the captain of the guard.

"The moment has finally come when we are needed. Are you willing to live a mediocre life like this, or are you willing to burn your soul like a shooting star and shine even for a second?"

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

"very good."

shouted the captain of the guard.

"Now, take out all the remaining flames and burn our lamps to the limit."

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

From time to time, fire flashes across these pure black ash masses. This is the power of fire separated from the guardian fire.

After burning these ashes, you can re-ignite the area in a small area.

The brazier on the lighthouse is a Horcrux that carries fire. The special reflector can project the firelight to a long distance, guiding the direction of the warriors lost in the boundless darkness and driving away monsters.

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

soon.

In the brazier on the lighthouse, the flame burned violently, and the powerful light expanded, dispersing the nearby black fog.

The lighthouse isolated on the top of the mountain is like a shining star in the long night, lighting up the soldiers' way home.

Then, the guards began to operate the reflector, and the huge white light pierced the darkness like a spear of God, and was projected dozens of miles away.

As the three reflectors began to work one after another, the three white light pillars began to rotate along the established angles, directions and frequencies, representing three safe ways home.

Because it is so close to the real dark world, the middle area of ​​the defensive circle is very dangerous, and the terrain near the monolithic lighthouse is even more complex, with hills, swamps, lowlands, rotten mire, and many hidden "dangerous places".

After careful consideration, Wangcheng did not spend a lot of manpower to clean them all. Instead, it opened up these three safe roads and erected a lighthouse as a guide.

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

But when Lyso City was destroyed, the Stone Lighthouse became the front line.

Rhodes was nervous, excited, and a little unbelievable. Didn't the chief dean already lead his conjuring bodyguards to support him? Why did it break so quickly?

Theodore is also a legendary strongman, the first holder of the "Conjuration Nature", he is known as thunder.

The whistle given to him by the chief dean was a little unreliable, but it had helped him a lot many times. How could I have stretched my hips so much?

But just thinking about it is useless. He doesn't know what the situation is in Laisuo City. The only thing he can do now is to try his best to rescue the fleeing people. It is said that there are more than 100,000 people in Laisuo City, and most of them are ordinary people. logistics or production staff.

Judging from the map, the Stone Lighthouse is one of the three main evacuation directions in Laisuo City and should receive many survivors.

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

This is his chance.

It is different from when it was at Sword Pass. It is at the end of the defense circle. The monsters arriving at Sword Pass have been filtered for several levels. There are not even many leveled monsters, all of them are unleveled.

And here, at the backbone of the defense circle, what we encountered were powerful monsters from the depths of darkness.

According to Teacher Lilivi, he is very likely to encounter a special monster with [Source] here.

Rhodes has made up his mind to try to kill them no matter how dangerous it is.

Soon, the lighthouse met the first group of refugees.

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

A ray of 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 reflector carefully.

At such a distance, a single tremor could deflect the reflector 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.

"Three miles agreement" is Trorian's standard tactical rule. In a state of war, unless there are special circumstances, the furthest distance that small and medium-sized fixed strongholds can support is three miles.

These are lessons learned from countless blood and tears.

The refugees obviously knew this very well. They ran desperately just to get within three miles of the lighthouse.

When the soldiers sent them back, the group was so exhausted that no one could stand up and they were all carried into the lighthouse.

There are thirty-one of them in total, seven men and twenty-four women. They are the logistics personnel who came to Suo City. Almost all of them were injured. A few people were seriously infected, and there were a lot of ulcers on their faces and chests. The black flesh spread rapidly on their bodies, and the presence of fire caused even greater pain. They rolled and wailed in the lighthouse.

The captain said in a deep voice: "Send them into the fire."

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

The captain shook his head: "The infection is deep and there is no hope of recovery."

"But, my wife and my daughter have been working in Laisuo City for twelve years. They just want to take a look at the royal city and the dazzling upper city. They have never dreamed of..."

"Feel sorry."

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

The flames quickly engulfed their bodies and burned them to ashes.

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

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

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

When he looked back, the man had jumped into the brazier, and the flames instantly enveloped him.

But he smiled.

"……Sorry, I am late."

One of the soldiers 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 the situation is sad, it is irreversible.

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

For some reason, Rhodes 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 did not dwell on this problem. Yuhuo was like a star without a soul. Its power would drain away quickly. The stronger it was, the faster it drained. In order to keep the lighthouse in its brightest state, the captain continued to add 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 brightest.

Later, from the survivors' mouths, Rhodes and others learned that Laisuo City was destroyed by a black giant monster.

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

The giant sword destroyed one-fifth of the city in one blow and extinguished the guardian fire located in the fire protection sacrificial field in the center of the city.

The black death beasts outside the city swarmed in. A cyan giant shining with thunder and fire flew into the air to fight with the black giant monster. Dozens of cyan giants and a large number of warriors blocked the gap and fought the monster to the death before they were defeated. Space to evacuate.

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

It was only a lucky chance that they made it here alive.

"Captain," one of the refugees said, "We'd better evacuate quickly, we can't hold on here."

The captain shook his head: "We can't leave. You can repair for a while and then set off quickly. I will equip you with a lantern and an astrolabe. Follow the predetermined route and arrive at the Sword Fortress behind. Then you will be safe."

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 increased rapidly. Fortunately, the Megalithic Lighthouse, just like its name, has a very large space inside. When it was originally built, it was built with a standard fortress-style defense and could accommodate up to several thousand people.

Monsters also appeared near the lighthouse, and the captain immediately sent soldiers to eliminate them.

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

Rhodes is the most active among them. He will be included in every hunting operation. His super high spiritual vision and efficient killing methods also play a great role. The soldiers all like to be with him.

When the hands of the clock cross eve.

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

Many teams did not approach the lighthouse, but ran towards the Sword Fortress in the rear along three routes.

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

A larger black monster also appeared in sight. They were about the size of a house. Their heads spread out like flesh-colored petals, with a round hole full of sharp teeth in the middle.

When attacking, the flesh flaps will wrap the person, stuff them into the round hole and swallow them.

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

This should be the Black Death Beast that besieged Laisuo City.

Although he abides by the "three-mile agreement", Rhodes tries his best to attract the monster's attention from the edge. His shooting skills have reached the point where he can hit the target within a thousand yards, but the power is slightly smaller.

But the real silver bullets have no effect on monsters above level 1, so it doesn't matter.

Once the monster steps into the range, it will be surrounded by warriors, and Rhodes will seize the opportunity to end it with a "soul blast".

It has to be said that training in combat skills has greatly improved his use of "Soul Blast". This skill is no longer as limited as before. Rhodes can fly over a hundred yards away. Accurately insert your hand into the monster's opening, and you can also kill the monster with a sliding shovel in a fierce battle.

Cheers kept ringing in the ears. Rhodes' presence greatly improved the fighting efficiency of the warriors. They were all in the Spark Sequence and generally ignited three to four fire types, most of which were "acuity improvement", "balance mastery" and "strength enhancement". "For ordinary fire like this, the combat methods are almost all physical combat.

Not many people use the feature, so they can only kill monsters with one knife, which is not very efficient.

Rhodes'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 fate of death.

Rhodes gained a lot of humanity. He is now the king of true humanity, and he has more humanity than he can use up in ten lifetimes.

In this way, a blazing lighthouse stood in the darkness, pointing the way for countless refugees.

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

Even so, the lighthouse was quickly filled with wounded.

Dozens of people also returned to the embrace of fire.

What made the guard captain somewhat reassured was that from their mouths, the soldiers learned that the main force of the retreat was heading northwest, and not many came towards the lighthouse.

However, there were many people coming to Suo City, and even if only a small part escaped, the number would still be considerable.

When the hands of the clock cross midnight.

The lighthouse discovered a remnant of soldiers who came to Suo City.

Eleven miles away, there were about thirty people, forming a tactical brigade. 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 lights of the lighthouse were all concentrated, and the monster began to smoke, but it did not ignite a fire. Instead, it became even more crazy, and several combatants were killed one after another.

They ran faster, but obviously they couldn't run into the range of the lighthouse.

The captain immediately issued an order: "The situation is special, and we need to go out for rescue immediately."

Ten combatants rushed towards them quickly. One of the figures was much faster than them. Within a quarter of an hour, he had already passed the remaining soldiers and crashed into the monster group.

"Be careful!" one of the big guys shouted: "This is a mutant!"

Rhodes ignored him, raised his right hand, and killed one of them with one blow. He turned sideways to avoid a claw, and killed another one with his backhand.

The monster seemed to be enraged and attacked him.

But Rhodes' movements were vigorous and light. He stepped forward and backward, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of monsters were killed by him.

[The soul of the cursed wolf] X11

Rhodes smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Such a severely injured monster, please have another one.

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

What a guess.

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

"I'm just an ordinary student, go to the lighthouse quickly."

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

Rhodes shook his head: "The order we received is to stay here, guide the direction, and do our best to rescue the defeated soldiers."

The big man took a deep look at him and said: "You can dim the fire a little. Laisuo City has been destroyed. The Iron Armor Fortress and the Old City of Baila have no time to take care of themselves. The real darkness has eroded over. It will be unsafe if the fire is too bright."

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

The big guy nodded.

"Okay, I hope we can meet again under the sun."

——

When the clock crossed morning time again, another order came from the old city of Baira.

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

But neither the guard captain nor the soldiers chose to evacuate. Instead, they added a few more residual fires, making the fire even brighter.

"Rod."

The captain said seriously.

"You are our future star, you don't have to take risks with us."

Rhodes smiled and said: "If I can't accompany you on your adventure, do you still call me a new star?"

Hot blood rushed to their hearts instantly. Although they had only known each other for two days, the soldiers felt as if they had known him for a long time.

"Haha." The captain laughed and said, "That's right. Let's light up the way home together."

after.

The bright firelight followed the reflector and illuminated this large dark area, and countless teams guided the way back.

But as time goes by, more and more monsters spread to the lighthouse area. Many monsters are attracted by the fire and gather towards the lighthouse on the top of the mountain.

This is a swarming effect. A small number of monsters will be dispersed by the fire, while a large number of monsters will gather due to the fire.

As the number of Black Death Beasts increased, the monsters launched a brazen attack on the lighthouse.

The Monolith Lighthouse is a standard fortification. Although it does not have a psychic generator, all building materials are reinforced with special psychic powers and are extremely difficult to destroy.

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

So, all the soldiers gathered on the top of the tower to defend to the death.

Rhodes had already molded the wooden puppet, but he didn't expect that with everyone working together, the battle went very smoothly, and not even a single Black Death Beast could climb up.

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

The soldiers were also in high spirits and used lights more carefully to protect the evacuating team.

The lighthouse worked wonders at this time. The extremely bright light attracted a large number of black beasts, and the strong light dispersed the monsters that attacked the retreating team, protecting the safety of the retreating personnel to the maximum extent.

They only had to bypass the lighthouse to reach the Sword Fortress behind.

However, this was just the light of the remaining fire after all, and a large number of monsters quickly consumed its power.

The fire gradually weakened, and some monsters left the range of the lighthouse. Several fleeing teams were attacked. A combatant was knocked away by the monster and fell into the group of monsters under the lighthouse.

The flesh flaps of a black death beast wrapped around him and swallowed him in. The shrill screams accompanied by the sound of chewing bones and flesh resounded through the night sky. The flesh and blood stumps and minced parts leaked from the gaps in the flesh flaps. come out.

The screams suddenly stopped, leaving only the creepy sound of chewing.

Rhodes frowned. There were many monsters down there. The Black Death Beast had rough skin and thick flesh, and was very blunt when hit. Even if he used all his firepower, he couldn't clear out so many monsters.

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

Rhodes took a look at his inventory. There was no residual fire 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.

Rhodes turned his head happily and asked: "You still have residual fire..."

No one spoke. In the bright flames, two warriors smiled at them, and one of them mouthed: "Aren't our souls very bright?"

After a few seconds, they turned into ashes.

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

But the lighthouse burst into bright light again.

More monsters gathered.

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

The captain smiled and said: "The ones holding the fire are just different. They burn brighter."

The soldiers also laughed and said, "That's right."

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

The captain said: "Hurry up and learn how to operate the reflector, don't waste our fire."

A soldier said: "I put two sets of peripheral vision below. The entrance has been blocked by me. You don't have to worry."

Another soldier said: "I sprinkled blue bone marrow ash on the tower so that the Black Death Beast can't climb up. The lighthouse's defense is enough for them to fight for two days."

Rhodes opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.

In this way, one by one, the warriors walked into the fire and lit the flame with their souls.

The captain was the last to walk in.

Before he left, he said: "When the fire light weakens, you should wait for an opportunity to escape. Don't try to light a fire. No one will operate the reflector. This is a waste."

The captain waved his hand.

"When we become stronger in the future, if we kill a few more monsters, we will treat them as ours."

Rhodes' throat rolled and he uttered one word hoarsely:

"good."

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

Rhodes operated three reflectors alone to see off the evacuees in the distance.

For them too.
