MTL - The Last King of Darkness-Chapter 407 destruction begins
Horus readily agreed.
For the establishment of the western front, the main defense is against the monsters in the Castle of the Soul Devourer.
Now that the Spirit King's castle has been emptied, the pressure on the western front has dropped sharply, and the threat of the core legion's flanks has disappeared, so the combat power is not so tense.
Horus only left seven second-level combatants, plus Jon's Spears, the Lily Leafs that originally belonged to Lilivia, and Rhodes' Blacks, and the rest went to support the storm. The gate is closed.
Rhodes returned to the royal city.
Lucian, the head of the Internal Affairs Tribunal, welcomed Rhodes very much.
Although the adjudicators who are responsible for maintaining internal order and dealing with internal disputes among human beings are very powerful, they are generally not at the level of high-level combatants.
Humanity's strongest combat power is usually external rather than internal.
In the House of Internal Affairs, the only high-ranking combatant was Lucian himself.
The most important thing to catch doomsday cultists is not force, but brains.
Only when confronted with the toughest foes does Lucian himself fight.
Generally speaking, as long as Lucian is on the stage, it is usually an overwhelming advantage. Doomsday cultivators have difficulty in cultivation and lack of resources. Unless they are hidden in human beings, it is impossible to have too much strength.
But this time the operation was different. Their target was the last living force of the Polluter Sect—the Great Patriarch Asa, the six bishops of the end of the world, and some believers of the end of the world.
They are not weak, and they have a demi-artifact like the Book of Fate.
Although Lucien was not afraid, they hid in the deepest part of the sewer.
The sewers of Wangcheng have always been dangerous places, and the depths are even more dangerous. If the monsters that are silent below are alarmed, unimaginable consequences may be caused.
What's more, Lucian knows the unknown space below the royal city.
Therefore, this pursuit mission has been difficult from the very beginning.
If it wasn't for the continuous pressure from several guardians in the royal city and the participation of the White Tower later, they would have given up very early.
But now the situation is different. When the news of the death of the guardian Lilivie came, Lucian knew that he had made a big mistake.
This group of human residues must die.
Fortunately, the White Tower has completely locked their positions, and the Great Prophet Iyeta personally joined the hunting team to ensure that the target will not be lost and will not be affected by the Book of Fate.
The only problem is that the depths of the sewers are very dangerous, and the two high-level combatants may not be able to suppress them.
Rhodes' arrival at this time is just right.
—
Downtown area.
Hammer Street.
Rhodes met Lucian and Iyeta in a big house.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn, Lucian's face was gloomy, and Iyeta's face was stiff.
A sewer map as tall as a person is piled up on the table. Countless lines are twisted together like twists and turns, making people dizzy.
Lucian nodded slightly to Rhodes, with a smile on his face.
"Good night, Your Excellency Rhodes, may the light of fire illuminate your path forever."
Rhodes bowed slightly: "Good night, Your Excellency the Judge, may justice gather like moths because of your light, and may evil retreat like wild beasts fleeing the burning forest."
Iyeta's stiff face moved slightly, as if smiling.
"Rhode, you've grown a lot."
His words obviously didn't just refer to spiritual growth. Rhodes was slightly surprised and said in surprise, "Your Excellency Iyeta, we haven't met a few times, have we?"
Iyeta turned her head slightly, her bright forehead flashed Rhodes' eyes.
"You only met me three times, but I've seen you since the moment you entered Kingworth College."
Rhode's heart trembled, and he thought of many things in an instant.
Originally, he entered the sight of Wangcheng's high-level officials earlier than he imagined.
In the past, he might have been a little scared and flustered, but now, he only has calmness and calm in his heart.
"Thanks for taking care."
He bowed slightly.
"Hope I didn't disappoint you."
Iyeta scratched his face: "Your Excellency Rhodes, you will never let people down. In this operation, we will eliminate the Doomsday Cultists and take back the Book of Fate. The teacher has foreseen it, the last piece of the puzzle needed for the Prophecy of the Source , the soul core related to destiny is related to the book of destiny."
Lucien said hoarsely: "So, this operation is more important than any previous one. It can not only dig out this human cancer, but also clear away the fog of human destiny and guide our future direction."
Rhode nodded. This group of maggots should have died a long time ago. It is a worthy death to make a little contribution to mankind before death.
"Where are they exactly? How should we hunt them down?"
Lucian pulled out an old blueprint from the pile of papers.
"Here, Asa and his disciples are hiding in a cave about 3,000 yards deep. They have entered the deepest part of the sewer, which is no longer the sewer of the royal city in the conventional sense."
Lucian pointed to the giant language on the edge of the drawing, and Rhodes recognized that those words meant "Omir".
"Trollian King City originally originated from the city built by the giant king Omir in the second era. The sewer system built by the giant clan was very large. The arrogant giant craftsmen showed their skills to their heart's content, but they did not realize that the aliens known as the silver clan Man has dug deeper tunnels under their noses."
"The depth of this tunnel is untestable so far, and I don't know where the tunnel leads, and I don't know why they built such a tunnel. The aliens have perished long before the catastrophe of the second era, and the truth has long been buried in history."
Lucian paused for a moment, then continued.
"However, we have detected that at the bottom of this tunnel, there is some kind of unknowable and terrifying space, similar to the existence of an abyss."
"After discussion, Wangcheng decided that it must not be disturbed. Therefore, we must kill it with one blow this time, and we must not let a doomsday cultist run away."
Rhodes thought for a moment and asked, "Your Excellency Lucian, do the Doomsday Cultists know this information?"
Lucian shook his head slowly.
"I don't think they know, otherwise Asa would have triggered the abyss and created a disaster, but if they continue to descend, they will definitely know, so our time is limited."
He pressed his finger to the center of the map.
"Here is where they are currently. This cave is very hidden, and it is almost impossible for normal people to find it, but we have the White Tower."
Iyeta said indifferently: "Everything that exists has traces. They could have delayed for a while, but the Book of Fate's interference with the prophecy suddenly relaxed, allowing us to find the location."
Lucian said with a gloomy face, "We didn't know why before, thinking that the Book of Fate had reached its limit, but now, we know that they have put their power into the castle of the Ghost Eater King."
The room fell silent.
Lilivia's death was a heavy blow to everyone, the first-level fighters were Trorian's top combat power, and losing any of them would be a huge loss to mankind.
After being silent for a few seconds, Lucian continued: "I plan to divide my troops into three groups, enter the sewer from here, and use these three routes to act separately, reach the deepest part of the sewer, and attack from these three directions at the same time."
As he spoke, Lucien swiped his fingers on the map, explaining each route in detail.
This is the optimal route formulated by their most proficient sewer personnel and scholars after careful research. It is the shortest, safest, and most unexpected route.
The sewers are extremely complicated, and even the most streamlined route, Lucian still talked about it for a quarter of an hour.
"This is our action plan. I will send you the detailed steps later, and we will keep in touch..."
Rhodes frowned for a while, then suddenly said, "No."
The two looked away.
Rhodes pointed to a line on the map: "Why should I walk through this corridor?"
Lucian frowned and glanced: "This is the Havila Passage, the closest route across the surface."
"Here, the north passage, the distance is closer, why not go?"
"Those have a large group of poisonous insect nests, very troublesome..."
"I cleaned it last time, the poisonous bugs won't grow so fast."
Lucien looked at him in surprise, and then remembered that the one in front of him was known as the King of Sewers.
Rhodes didn't pay attention to his eyes at all, and swipe his fingers on the drawing, changing their route wildly.
"This, this, this, this place is unreasonable. This place is obviously faster. Although it is close here, there are a group of farting bugs. I am not afraid, but the team members will be stunned by the stink, and here..."
After a while, the entire route was changed beyond recognition.
Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. Although I'm not very familiar with the route deep in the sewer, I have done some research."
Lucien was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, let out a long breath, and showed a trace of relief on his old face: "You really never let people down."
Iyeta twitched her face and said with a smile: "This is the king of the sewers, you miscalculated, Lucian."
"No no." Rhode interrupted hastily: "That's all rumors, I just did a little research and went to the sewer a few more times."
Lucian nodded deeply: "Yes, I miscalculated."
He stood up and put on the robe of the chief judge.
"Let's go, these doomsday believers have lived long enough, it's time to put an end to their end."

The hunting team had already been prepared, and all the materials and medicines were ready. The three of them led three hunting teams into the sewer from three directions, and the expensive psychic communicator kept them in touch at all times.
Rhodes' team has twenty elite adjudicators. Although their combat level is not as high as Rhodes', they are all experienced and experienced in many battles, and they are very familiar with the sewer.
The captain headed by him is known as a know-it-all in the sewers. When he saw Rhodes' young face, he immediately believed that his title of king of the sewers was blown out.
Even if he is a new star, with extraordinary talent, abundant resources, and at this age, how many times can he go to the sewer?
He had made up his mind that even if it made Rhodes unhappy, he must point out the correct way to access the sewer.
But I didn't expect that once he entered the sewer, Rhodes, who was unattractive and lacked the aura of a strong man, changed drastically in an instant.
His complexion is calm, his eyes are sharp, the corners of his mouth are neither arrogant nor impatient, the brows are calm and moderate, his footsteps are large and delicate, his body is majestic and mighty, and he has the aura of a peerless powerhouse, which makes people can't help but worship him.
Sure enough, Rhodes was rampant along the way, completely ignoring the dangers that the complex sewers might bring, and saw the wind blowing under his feet, walking through the avenues and alleys without the slightest hesitation, as if he had returned to his own home.
The vicious monster hidden in the sewer didn't bother him at all. The sword in his right hand flashed repeatedly, chopping the monster's body apart, and the star shuttle with his left hand shot wildly, smashing the monster to pieces.
For many people, the sewer is like a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, but for Rhodes, it is like their own backyard.
While strolling in the courtyard, they went straight from the upper floor to the lowest floor.
If it wasn't for the depressing surroundings, they could have called it an outing.
The lowest level of the sewer is already close to the appearance of a primitive cave. In the absolute darkness, their twilight light can only illuminate a square inch around them.
A huge sound of water roared in the depths of the darkness. It was the Eternal River running through the Royal City. Its upstream was far in the depths of the dark Great Plains in the north, and its downstream reached the rotten swamp thousands of yards away. Half of the filth in the Royal City was is carried away by it.
On top of their heads, there are dead branches entangled like vines.
This is the root of the holy white tree in the royal city. It extends extremely deep underground, but many parts are dead.
There are three rivers passing through the royal city, and the Eternal River is the only river that has not been purified by the holy white tree, and it is also the deepest underground river.
Its water is extremely black, with countless filth, garbage, and corpses floating there.
No one knows what lurks underwater, UU Reading www. uukanshu. com also don't want to know.
Walking along such a river is very dangerous, Rhodes took them around on purpose.
"We've arrived at our scheduled location."
Rhodes said.
"Take a break here and wait for the arrival of the other two teams."
The team members looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't even take a breath along the way, and they just left.
But since it was Rhodes who spoke, they immediately followed suit without any conditions.
Along the way, his performance has won the respect of all of them. Everyone is lamenting that a new star is worthy of being a new star. Probably only those who surpass ordinary people in all aspects can stand at the forefront of mankind and lead everyone forward.
Rhodes also closed his eyes, quietly waiting for Iyeta and Lucian.
His knowledge only ends here, and if it goes deeper, it will leave the category of sewers.
He had to wait patiently. This time, he must wipe out those disgusting maggots and scatter their ashes in front of the statue of Liliwei, who had little contact with him but left a deep impression on him. Miss.
At this moment, the book of knowledge in his mind suddenly spoke.
—

In the gloomy cave.
A black figure sat high on the rock, the big book in his hand was turned without wind, and the pages of the book with many holes crashed down.
A line of red text was slowly written on the paper.
"Rhode has come to the depths of the sewer, ready to hunt down his enemy, but he doesn't know what fate is waiting for him."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Black Shadow laughed wildly.
"It's finally here. As I expected, your hatred has blinded your eyes, and I will see the hope of turning around in this desperate situation."
"The destruction of Trorian begins with you."
