The Last King of Darkness

In just a few days, Rhodes' battle group cleared nearly one-seventh of the area of ​​Fanxing Town.

The total length of Fanxing Town is 24,000 yards, plus the distance between the underground city and Fanxing Town, the total advancing distance is close to 10,000 yards.

All the surrounding areas have also been cleared, and the road to the City of Stars has been opened up.

Such an achievement is unimaginable.

If they can maintain such efficiency, Fanxing Town, which theoretically takes a year or even years to occupy, seems to be able to take less than a month.

However, Rhodes soon ran into new troubles.

As they went deeper into the town of Stars, they encountered a monster that was far more troublesome than a troll—a soulless skeleton.

This is a mass of deformed white bones. The main body is a pile of bones, the size of a carriage, and there are dozens of long white bone arms stretched out from the pile of bones.

When moving, it crawls quickly with its arms propped on the ground, looking like some kind of giant bone spider.

Some of the arms are holding a huge bone sword or axe. Once swung, it is like a big windmill, so powerful that it is difficult to approach.

What's more troublesome is that the monster's soul is quite small, shrinking in the pile of bones, and people with less than 50 spiritual vision can't see it at all, making it more difficult to attack.

It is for this reason that it is called a soulless skeleton.

The actual soul body of the soulless skeleton is quite small, and the outer white bones are all its growth creatures, which can be regenerated quickly, only consumes a small amount of spiritual energy, but it is very hard and very difficult to deal with.

This monster severely exposed the team's shortcomings - no mid- and post-combatants.

The melee personnel must besiege more than ten people together, the damage caused can exceed its regeneration ability, and then the outer layer of bones can be polished a little bit to break its core.

The most irritating thing is that this thing is the same as the monster, it is a monster of the first-level fierce, and only provides about 1200 souls.

The speed of the team's advancement has dropped significantly.

The team members are helpless with this monster, only the two captains are better.

O'Hara can forcibly stop the spinning bone windmill with his hard body, and Kander's Fragmenting Finger can quickly shatter the bone, revealing its core.

But still a drop in the bucket.

Soulless skeletons, like trolls, are the main monsters in this area, and they are everywhere.

A day before, he could push a distance of several thousand yards, but now he can't even push a few dozen yards.

Even due to the alarming of more monsters, the battle line once retreated a few hundred yards.

Just when everyone was gloomy and gloomy, Mephis came.

She came on the fourth day and joined the fight on the fifth day.

As soon as she joined the fight, the tide of battle changed dramatically.

The proliferating white bone of the soulless skeleton is very tough, but it does not have any psychic bonus or protection. Its sturdiness is only due to its own physical properties, and it has no resistance to special states.

So Mephis can easily freeze it for a very long time.

No matter how the warrior attacks it, it cannot be thawed.

After that, things will be easier to handle. The soldiers don't have to worry about attacking anymore, they just hit the bone pile vigorously, revealing the body, and then hand it over to Rhodes to kill.

Mephis didn't have to stay by the side all the time. After freezing one, she went to the next one.

The fighters in the back will naturally chisel open its outer shell of the bone pile.

The battlefield has thus become very strange.

in front.

Mephis's whole body was cold, and a large number of ice crystals surrounded her.

Every time she took a step, Baishuang extended under her feet, and behind her, a long path of frost was drawn.

She is like a goddess of ice and snow who came to the world. Her silver hair and silver eyes reflect a cold light with cold air in the white frost. Everywhere she goes is covered with ice and snow, as if she has traveled to the world of ice and snow.

All monsters that stepped into the field were frozen in an instant.

And in the rear.

The frozen soulless bones are like bizarre icicles, with all kinds of bizarre postures.

Some are on the ground with their bony hands, like fleas before they take off.

Some hold high bone axe, like a cook with firewood.

Others are frozen in the process of spinning the big windmill, looking like a stationary top.

The warriors slashed the ice like a group of ice slashers.

The whole scene is not like a war between fire warriors and dark monsters at all, but rather like an impromptu ice art exhibition held by a group of ice artists.

There was also a gust of wind flying around in the exhibition, occasionally stopping, and digging in and destroying the ice, as if a severe judge was destroying unqualified works of art.

This miraculous ability shocked all warriors.

The monster that was extremely difficult to deal with before has become a harmless target for humans and animals in the blink of an eye.

Mephis was frozen for such a long time that the warriors were tired from knocking and sat under the ice to eat a simple lunch, and even took a nap for a while and then knocked again.

Fierce and dangerous battles turned into pure strength work.

This disparity is unimaginable for normal people.

Therefore, the beautiful and powerful Mephis suddenly captured the hearts of most male warriors.

Many people came to suggest pillow seats and volunteered to be one of her partners.

However, most of them closed the door. In the entire battle group, Mephis ignored anyone except Rhodes.

The two captains also strictly restrained this kind of behavior. They knew the identity of Mephis' taboo, but in this kind of thing, there is no need to wear them everywhere, causing rifts within the team and affecting unity.

At this moment, Rhodes is undoubtedly the happiest person.

Mephis thoroughly proved the value of her weekly salary of up to 8,000 silver cables, and solved the biggest problem for the team.

Not only that, her arrival also solved the material problem for Rhodes.

Under his repeated entanglement, Mephis had to drop her fee again and again.

Rhodes has found out that this girl looks very cold on the outside, but in fact, she is not very good at coping with stalking, especially when there are legitimate reasons.

And Rhodes, as the commander of the entire battle group and her employer, is the most legitimate reason.

In the end, he bought a lot of materials from her at unimaginably low prices.

The Stone of Resurrection, which used to cost 10,000 silver cords in the past, now only uses 3,000 silver cords.

Rhodes laughed until his mouth could not close. Relying on his power and money, he simply emptied Mephis's inventory in one go.

Because the money is not enough, she still owes her hundreds of thousands of silver.

"Hahaha, Mephis, don't worry... I won't owe money without paying it back, hahaha, you actually moved your property here, it's so cool... Mephis, you are such a good person, I know you You must have fallen in love with me, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible to let me prostitute like this…”

Memphis' indifferent expression didn't change much.

She is an iceberg beauty like Molly, but Molly is more serious and serious, while Mephis is indifferent.

"Please don't get me wrong," she said softly. "I only carry them for fear that they will be stolen when I leave."

Rhodes was surprised: "Is there such a thing? Can't the internal affairs adjudication arrest anyone?"

"They don't care."

"No, I've been in the Internal Affairs Judgment Office for a while, and I'm very familiar with several judges. This kind of stealing of spiritual materials is a high priority. They will send excellent crows to scout, and they can usually detect them. "

"They don't care about me."

Rhode was silent for a few seconds and asked tentatively, "Regardless of all the crimes against you?"

"Yes."

Rhode was silent in his heart, and only then did he realize that the discrimination against Mephis in the king's city was very real. No one hoped that the son of destruction in this prophecy could live smoothly in the king's city.

But he laughed and strode towards her:

"Hahaha, isn't that just right? Doesn't that mean I can force you to do that without getting caught?"

Mephis's eyes turned cold, and the coldness flickered around him.

But Rhodes just gave her a courtesy hug and whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you here."

Mephis did not speak, but the ice spreading behind her dissipated.

There was silence for a moment.

Mephis said suddenly.

"Can you stop touching your hand?"

"Uh haha, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. As we all know, I'm a decent gentleman. It's just because of the influence of gravity, it keeps pulling my hand down, and I can't get rid of it with all my struggles..."

Mephis ignored his sophistry, turned and left his room.

As soon as Mephis left, Molly came to his room again.

As soon as she touched the coldness remaining in the air, her brows furrowed.

"Lord Commander, she is an unknown taboo, don't get too close to her."

Rhode said with a smile: "Molly, you are prejudice, the unknown curse of doom is just one of the many curses that have been artificially engraved, and before the trip, the silver oath has sealed her curse of doom, and now other curses are running , no harm to us."

Molly looked at Rhodes seriously.

"Did she tell you that?"

"Uh...is there something wrong?"

"Do you know the prophecy of the Son of Destruction?"

"I know... but isn't that a conspiracy? The great prophet Yin Yeta himself has denied it. The only follower who delivered the prophecy was murdered. I think it is the conspiracy of the doomsday believers to attack the human genius. I will dig them all out later. , the truth should be revealed.”

Molly looked at him sharply, and said in a cold voice:

"Then did she tell you that she is the biggest suspect in the Grey Street Massacre?"

"Do you know that she was suspected of murdering Shi Po, the best master craftsman in the previous generation, and depriving her of her production ability? You know that she despicably stole the victims' pensions, causing hundreds of victims' families to starve to death in the slums. thing?"

"Do you really know why she is hated like that?"

Rhode was shocked and hesitated: "She said that she killed many people because of her loss of control..."

Molly gave a rare sneer.

"Out of control? She's lying again. This is a witch who hurts people. From now on, I won't allow you to approach her any more. All orders will be conveyed by me."

Rhode frowned: "What the **** is going on here?"

Molly said coldly, "You'll find out later."

Rhode said dissatisfiedly: "Molly, I am the commander. You have no right to restrict my actions unless you tell me the reason."

"Sorry, unless you get the approval of the Internal Affairs Judgment, you can't spread the news at will. Lord Commander, if you are short of women, I can apply to Wangcheng."

Rhode's attention was suddenly attracted: "This is also possible? There is such a thing? What if the commander is a woman?"

"Men can also apply, but the specification is higher than that of women."

Rhode struggled for a while: "Then give it to me... No, no, no, no, I am a noble and elegant gentleman, how can I do such a thing?"

Molly said sternly: "If you want, you can ask me to solve the needs in that area."

"you?"

Rhodes looked her up and down.

Molly is tall and curvaceous, with delicate makeup, picturesque eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

But the expression is too serious, the eyes are full of cold rationality, the eyes are solemn, the face is cold, there is no trace of the beauty of the gentle and tender, shy and cute, but rather like a strict class teacher.

Completely incompatible with Rhode's ideal object.

"Forget it, I'm not a thirsty ghost who doesn't want to eat... Sister Molly is so good. I have always respected you very much. How could I have such a bad idea?"

Molly's expression did not change, as if the conversation just now did not exist, and continued: "The logistics materials of Wangcheng and the materials I purchased have arrived, but I found that some of the materials have been rotten and deteriorated, and the share is not right, this should be The malicious actions of the opponents."

Rhode's face sank. Since the last attack, he had already guessed that there would be such a thing in the future.

"I have kept evidence and reported this matter to the Supreme Council and the Military War Department, but there will be no results in a short period of time. I will use funds to buy the missing shares, but in the long run, our expenses will greatly exceed expectations. ."

Rhodes rubbed his chin, thought for a moment and asked, "Molly, who do we buy supplies from?"

"The major workshops, chambers of commerce, or personal craftsmen in Wangcheng."

"Do the giants of Mehara also do this kind of business?"

"Yes, the giant merchants of Maihara are a group, headed by Maihara."

"Is the background hard?"

"It's tough."

"Then you go and tell them that we can only buy their goods with the money we borrowed from them."

Molly looked at him suspiciously.

Rhodes smiled slightly and said the rest of the words.

"But I ask for cash on delivery."

Molly was silent for a moment before she understood what he meant.

If the Mehara merchants were willing to do this, they would certainly not allow their opponents to destroy their wares.

Otherwise, when cash on delivery, how do they collect money?

It is equivalent to Rhodes using the conditions of special purchases in exchange for guards that do not cost money, diverting the contradiction.

Molly's eyes became complicated.

This young commander has not only unintelligible fire, but also unimaginable wisdom.

Lord Theodore, is this also in your calculations?

"Okay~www.wuxiahere.com~ Molly agreed.

"I will go to the leader of the giant businessman to discuss."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Remember to use your arrogant and cold tone, and inadvertently show our great achievements. If all goes well, there will be more in-depth cooperation between us."

Molly felt a sense of self-confidence in Rhodes' words, and a shadow of the broad and boundless wisdom of Lord Theodore.

In an instant, she made up her mind that no matter what, she could no longer allow that witch to approach Rhodes.

This is their new star, their hope.

When Molly was about to get up and leave, Rhode added:

"By the way, if the negotiation goes well, I will sell the logistics materials provided by Wangcheng and buy them all from the giant merchants, so as not to be fooled by others."

Molly was silent.

Rhode said with a smile: "Molly, I'm not afraid of them, I just don't bother to entangle with them at this time. When I ignite the fire of Fanxing Town and return to the king's city, one of them will be counted as one, and none of them will be able to escape."

Molly was silent for a moment, then replied softly, "I see."

She opened the door, and the brighter light pulled her figure into a beautiful silhouette.

Rhode suddenly noticed that she was wearing the commander's trousers, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's the black silk of the wind?"

Molly glanced back at him and replied briefly, "Worn."

Rhode covered his forehead, no wonder he felt a little weird these days.

"Molly, Heisi doesn't wear trousers outside, you have to wear a long coat or a short skirt... Uh, I'm not an old sappi, I'm just afraid that you will break your pants while fighting. It's a piece of equipment, and its leg defense effect is quite good..."

boom.

Molly said nothing, closed the door and left.
