Chapter 321 The Brightest

Latest website: The matter of the Ancient God was temporarily put aside by Rhodes.

This is not something that can be dealt with right now. The most important thing right now is guarding the lighthouse.

After returning to the tower, Lannister explained the current situation to Rhodes in more detail.

Since the underground world was opened, demonized ants have swarmed out and almost flooded the Trident River area, posing a huge threat to the surrounding areas.

After the support from the Palace of Fire arrived, the situation improved a bit. At least the lighthouse as a stronghold did not fall.

A part of the battle group has gathered together to prevent the demonized ants from spreading outward.

As the guardians of Lighthouse No. 20, they are relatively close to the exit of the underground world. Their main task is to prevent powerful monsters from breaking into the periphery and causing a blow to the fighting group.

Lannister said: "Most of our combat groups are low-level combatants. They can form a strong combat effectiveness through specific combat formations. Monsters above the powerful level will destroy this formation and cause huge casualties."

"This is also our main mission here, to intercept all powerful monsters within sight of the lighthouse."

"right."

Celie rarely contradicted him.

"We have to support until the main force of the legion arrives."

Rhodes asked curiously: "Is our main force strong?"

"Of course, the super-large battle array is surrounded by overwhelming spiritual energy, and the materialized spiritual energy is endless. As its spiritual energy hub, it is at least a second-level combatant."

"Once the main force arrives, these ants will be crushed."

Rhodes blinked. He had never seen a legion-level battlefield and didn't quite understand their fighting style.

But listening to their tone, the Legion seems to be a very powerful existence that can easily eliminate the crisis in the Trident River region.

"How many such legions do we have?"

Celie was the first to say: "There are eight legions in total known as the core main force, three city defense legions, four campaign legions, and one knighthood."

Lannister nodded.

"This is our core strength. When they show their full state, they have the Son of Fire as the core, assisted by seven extraordinary guardians, twenty inhumans, and fifty strong warriors, leading 20,000 Seven thousand combatants formed a supreme battle array.”

"The seven Sons of Fire lead seven legions together, and the four Grand Knight Commanders lead the Knights together, for a total of eight core legions."

For a moment, Rhodes felt his blood surge and his heart beating rapidly. He asked expectantly.

"Is this the main force of the legion supporting us? Can I see the Son of Fire?"

Celie said regretfully: "No, it's not. The crisis in the Trident River is not enough to dispatch the core main army. Under non-special circumstances, we generally will not gather so many combat forces together. It is too powerful. It’s too bulky, and we usually don’t use such a powerful force, even in the dark tide.”

"We have too much area to defend."

Lannister explained.

"Our combat power must be spread over a large area to defend every one of our strongholds, towns, and settlements."

"The mobility of combat power is very important. Reasonably allocating each combat power and maximizing the use of every bit of power are our basic principles. This is how the Palace of Fire was born."

Celie said with regret: "We usually use the core legion separately. Most of the time, the Sons of Fire are used as separate super combat forces to support various places to deal with various special threats that are difficult to deal with."

"Unless a huge disaster strikes, the core army will not be assembled."

Rhodes was a little disappointed. He thought he could see the scene of the legendary Son of Fire fighting. He had always wanted to see Trorian's most advanced combat power.

Celie paused and continued.

"This time it is the regular main army that comes to support the Trident River area."

"Although it is the norm, it far exceeds the upper limit of the crisis. Although these demonized ants are numerous, they are also relatively powerful. The queen ant is an extremely special monster, but it is far inferior to the Twilight Legion we have fought before. The army of Glais bugs, the wave of trolls and other monsters.”

She punched the air.

"There's no problem crushing these bugs."

Lannister nodded and continued: "The problem now is that we must support until the main army arrives, otherwise the lighthouse will be destroyed, the demonized ants will destroy everywhere, and the results we have finally obtained will be destroyed, and the progress of the expansion will be destroyed. It will also be greatly affected.”

"yes."

Celie said with a worried look on her face.

"The trouble we have now is that we don't have enough strength. There are only more than a hundred warriors in Lighthouse No. 20, and there are only 11 combatants above level seven. The three of us can only be regarded as quasi-level three combatants. It is too difficult to deal with the demonized king ant. Yeah, those guys are thick-skinned and spit acid, they’re really annoying.”

Rhodes finally smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm here, no matter what the ants are, I'll kill as many as they come."

Celie forced a smile and didn't seem impressed.

Lannister said calmly: "Rhode, I just checked and found that your psychic power has only been restored by about one-third. According to my observation, the power of your previous psychic cannon is superimposed. The initial psychic power is superimposed." The energy output is not very high, doubling approximately every two seconds, and you need to last at least ten seconds to cause damage to the king ant."

"So, if you don't have full psychic energy, you'd better not use that move. If you don't have time, your psychic energy will be wasted."

Rhodes glanced at him in surprise.

"I just used it once in front of you. Your observation skills are really sharp."

Lannister pushed up his glasses and said calmly: "Thank you for your compliment, but I will not give up Celie to you."

"Shut up! Big liar!"

Celie gave him a dirty look.

"If you mention this in front of me again, I will cut you off."

I actually don't want to... Rhodes wisely did not say this.

He thinks it's okay for Celie to be a friend, but she doesn't want to be a lover. He doesn't like this type, especially one that has to be permanently cured at every turn, and he can't sleep well.

The Lannister was also quite clever in getting around the subject.

"Lighthouse No. 20 is located relatively close to each other. There is only Lighthouse No. 37 in front of us, and there are Lighthouses No. 13, 17, and 46 behind us. Our pressure is actually very high."

"Teacher Churchill also said just now that in addition to the king ant, the monsters in the Trident River were also alarmed."

"The current situation of other lighthouses is not very good. It is best not to ask for help unless necessary to avoid putting pressure on other lighthouses."

"Especially Mr. Churchill, who is dealing with the most dangerous Demonized King Ant near the entrance."

"According to my calculations, you can use that kind of psychic cannon about once in three days, so I decided to implement the following strategy."

He paused and said seriously.

"Under normal circumstances, ordinary soldier ants, large worker ants, the hunting king ants that gather all their strength, and monsters in the river are let go, but they can only hunt one at a time, and they can only let go of the many."

"Until your spiritual energy is restored, we will fight with you as the core and carry out a comprehensive hunt."

Celie nodded, albeit rather reluctantly.

"This can only be like this. Although it adds pressure to our rear, we have tried our best. It is better than the lighthouse collapsing and causing countless casualties."

After hearing such reasonable suggestions, Rhodes just smiled.

"Don't worry, I still have many methods."

"Listen to me. Don't let anyone go. Anyone who enters the sight range of the lighthouse will die. I said so."

Celie's eyes lit up for a moment. She had a violent temper and wanted to kill all the dirt that entered her eyes. It was just a helpless move to let the monster pass.

Rhodes' words were exactly what she wanted.

Lannister looked at Rhodes with a considering look.

Of course he knew about the miracles created by Rhodes, and it was impossible for anyone who could enter the Palace of Fire not to understand what these words meant.

Without absolute certainty, it is impossible to put your teammates in such a dangerous situation.

He thought for a few seconds and asked: "Rhode, can you tell me your methods? I can formulate corresponding tactics to cooperate with you in fighting."

"Well……"

Rhodes thought for a while and realized that all his means other than psychic powers came from dream creations.

After Mephis was freed, he had created quite a few dream creations, so many that he had no idea what they were.

When Lannister asked him, he really couldn't answer for a while, so he could only temporarily enter the dream world to take stock.

Well... there is one Resurrection Stone, with 79 divinity points, and seven more can be made. The resurrection location should be set here at the lighthouse.

There are more than 700 wooden puppets and more than 100 flesh puppets, so there are enough summons.

There are more than 50 flesh and blood armors, and I can maintain the state of flesh and blood armor throughout the process.

There are more than 30 soul defenses, which can withstand more than 30 fatal injuries.

There are also 10 Kallus Synchronic Heavy Cannons, which can create 10 big explosions, or 1 super big explosion.

There are 2 Heralds of Destruction.

This thing burns life and explodes psychic energy. If you use it, you will die. It must be paired with the Stone of Resurrection.

In addition, there are countless conventional supplies, and there is no problem with basic supplies.

The only pity is that there are no spiritual bullets, so Ning Guang cannot use them, and there is missing a sure-kill method.

However, he still has a way to keep the bottom of the box.

Once the last resort came, he would use [Awakening] crazily, firing unlimited psychic cannons everywhere, killing gods and monsters, and finally a self-destruction of void, all monsters would be wiped out.

But this move will cause the world to accelerate towards the abyss and reduce the divinity he obtains next time.

It's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

After taking stock, Rhodes became more confident.

After considering the language, Rhodes briefly introduced his method in a language they could understand.

Of course, the ultimate method of borrowing money from the void was not mentioned, so as not to cause misunderstanding.

But even with his existing methods, the eyes of the two of them lit up.

"good!"

The Lannister made his decision immediately.

"Just as you said."

He cut down with one hand, making a beheading motion.

"Kill all monsters that come within range."

"Yes." Celie said loudly: "One will kill one, two will kill two!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

With a snap, the three hands clenched together.

"Our lighthouse is the brightest!"

——

In the following days, they strictly implemented Rhodes' tactics, and the results they achieved even exceeded their own expectations.

Generally speaking, the defense range of a lighthouse is its sight range.

At the top of the lighthouse, there is usually a psychic sensor. Any monster with a psychic level of three or above entering the range will be sensed by the sensor and displayed on the psychic crystal.

The range of the sensor is called the sight range, which represents the limit distance that the lighthouse can see.

This is also the area under the jurisdiction of the lighthouse.

Lighthouse No. 20 is a larger lighthouse with a larger range of psychic sensors, so there are far more monsters entering its range than other lighthouses.

Neither Guardian Churchill nor regional commander Tyrion thought that Lighthouse No. 20 could handle all monsters that entered the range.

Their thoughts are similar to those of the Lannister, they just think that they can hunt as many powerful monsters as possible while ensuring their own safety.

But what they never expected was that a few days later, they suddenly discovered it.

The east side area has become the area with the least pressure in the entire region.

This is an incredible thing. As the origin of the disaster, the entrance to the dungeon is inclined to the east, and the pressure on the battlefield on the east side should be the greatest.

Then they began to clean up the situation and search for the cause.

At this moment, they suddenly discovered.

At Lighthouse No. 20, not a single monster was spared.

This is a vacuum point, and all the monsters that have entered the range have never come out again, so that the No. 17 lighthouse directly behind it has nothing to do and even has time to help the lighthouses on the left and right sides.

"Are these three brats so powerful?"

Churchill felt very incredible, even though he had long known that Rhodes was very powerful, and had made a special trip to help him resolve the crisis, and agreed to fight side by side with him.

But deep down, he didn't think that the current Rhodes was qualified to fight alongside him.

It will take at least ten more years for this little guy to grow up and be qualified to stand side by side with him.

But the phenomenon of Lighthouse No. 20 showed that even though he had the highest expectations, he still seemed to underestimate Rhodes and overestimate himself.

Yes.

Churchill knew that all this must be related to Rhodes without any verification.

He had personally taken care of the other two little guys and knew their roots.

He has an extremely accurate eye for identifying people. He can tell at a glance what achievements a person can achieve and what limits they have reached.

Only Rhodes couldn't see the details or the limits.

Tyrion, the third-level commander, found it incredible. He had dealt with Rhodes in the Battle of Black Tide, but he still couldn't believe that he could achieve such an achievement.

This is not a regional battle during the Kuroshio period, but a palace-level mission.

In terms of the degree of crisis, the two may be similar, but Rhodes' identity is different and the pressure he bears is different.

"Are you sure it's him?" Tyrion asked.

"right."

Churchill replied gruffly. He hit the ground with a sledgehammer, and the huge roar added to the persuasiveness of his words.

"It can only be him."

"I'll rush to Lighthouse No. 20 now."

Tyrion said.

"Let's see what the situation is. If conditions permit, I will adjust the regional strategy and center it on Lighthouse No. 20. We may be able to achieve greater results and completely change our bad situation."

Churchill struck the ground again, and the earth jumped like a drumhead.

"You'd better hurry up. The threat from the Queen Ant is too great. Its spiritual power is increasing exponentially. In a few days, even if I find it, I won't be able to defeat it head-on."

Tyrion's face was gloomy and he only answered with one word: "Okay." Then he turned and hurried away.

Churchill once again picked up the sledgehammer and axe, turned around and left the temporary command center, disappearing into the rapidly rolling black fog.
