Chapter 323 The Opening

Latest website: Rhodes was shocked.

The soul fragment of the ancient sun god?

So, her divine messenger is actually something differentiated from her soul?

No...

Those divine messengers who praise miracles and praise divine power are not essentially bragging about myself?

If the scene were grander, with the god coming to her divine city, and thousands of divine envoys greeting the god's arrival, singing hymns and praising themselves, that would be too much.

But Rhodes then thought about it, and what was separated from the soul fragments was not necessarily the original body. It might be the birth of a new will.

Just like the remnant body of the reborn god of flesh and blood, Heragethos.

After the corruption and mutation, it was already a brand new monster.

Rhodes retracted his thoughts and checked the soul information.

[Soul fragment of the ancient sun god Heraos]

[From the ancient sun god Heraos]

【Great Soul】

[Has 1 source]

Rhodes felt a little happy.

He already has two great souls, and there is only one left before the [Star Shuttle] can reach its full state.

This will definitely bring him a leap in strength.

Moreover, there are two sources among these two great souls.

I wonder if there is a way to separate source and soul.

Rhodes thought.

Ask the Book of Knowledge again when it wakes up.

Rhodes turned his head. Celie and Lannister stood in the distance, their expressions as motionless as dried salted fish.

"Let's go back!"

Rhodes said with a smile, and picked up a ball of gray mud from the ashes, which was the ashes of the divine envoy.

"Mission accomplished."

The two of them came to their senses, and Celie screamed, her face flushed.

"Rod, you are great!"

Lannister's expression was complicated, ranging from disbelief at seeing something unbelievable, to joy at overcoming difficulties, to unspeakable loss.

"How did you kill it?"

He was silent for a moment, but reason prevailed and he asked.

"In the past, every time we dealt with it, we had to go to war. Although its absolute spiritual power is very weak. According to our standards, it should only be at the beginning of the strong level. However, its properties are special and its shell is extremely hard. It cannot be used to deal with strong levels. It cannot kill it according to the standard of this level, and it will also cause a lot of casualties.”

Lannister choked and swallowed the sentence "Our combat power standard can only fight against strong beginners. We need to discuss it when we meet intermediates."

Rhodes nodded, Lannister's words were absolutely correct.

According to his experience, the strong primary level can only obtain powerful or relatively powerful souls, the intermediate level can only obtain very powerful souls, and the high level can be between "close to great" souls and great souls.

Only super-level people must be great souls.

All the great souls he has obtained so far are from fragments or remains of ancient gods.

"I just control it."

Rhodes thought about it and decided not to increase his combat effectiveness too much.

His absolute strength is not as strong as it appears, and over-inflating his combat effectiveness may lead to overturning.

This is very likely to happen.

If he continues like this and boasts about his strength, Trolian's top management will see that you are so powerful and your past record is so dazzling, you must be very reliable.

Then this glorious and arduous task is left to you,

Then, send him alone to hunt monsters like the Abyss Serpent.

Because they trusted him so much, they didn't even have any predictions of failure. He himself was inflated and thought that no monster could be his enemy.

The results can be imagined.

He didn't have enough physical strength to break through his defenses and was instantly killed by the big snake.

Although he was resurrected, the Orochi destroyed the town he was supposed to protect, and numerous residents of the Fire Kingdom were killed or injured.

They cannot be resurrected.

Rhodes did not bring more hope to mankind. Instead, he caused huge losses because of his underestimation of the enemy. There will be a huge shortfall in the next divine settlement, just like the last time he disturbed the spiritual world and caused the holy fire to change.

This kind of thing must never happen.

Before gaining truly solid strength, Rhodes would rather they underestimate their own strength than overestimate it.

Therefore, he still chose to attribute most of the credit for killing monsters to the "restraint" relationship.

"The shell of this thing is very hard, but its body tentacles are very fragile. There is no psychic protection, and the soul is exposed. This seems to be related to the type of its fatal attack."

When he said this, Lannister already understood.

Although Celie didn't understand, she didn't realize it was serious.

Rhodes smiled and continued.

"My fire creation [Soul Defense] can withstand a fatal damage, and its tentacles are its weapons for launching fatal damage."

"In this case, I exchanged extremes with it. It shattered my [Soul Defense], and I shattered its soul body."

"That's it, it died, I lost an item, everyone exchanged it fairly, no one suffered a loss."

Rhodes paused, touched the flame mark on his collar, and continued.

"You can actually do this. Can't the flame mark withstand a powerful attack?"

Lannister shook his head: "It has an upper limit. The power of the attack is not easy to use with super-level ten psychic powers. It's best not to place your hopes on this function. The main function of the flame mark is to convey information and positioning."

"Aro is so great but so humble." Celie smiled and said, "Can you come to my room tonight?"

Rhodes saw Lannister's face suddenly twisting into lemon juice, and smiled: "Celie, idols are for worship, and it is not good to stir up fans... Ahem, I mean, the situation is still critical now, The battle is not over yet, we must cheer up and use all our strength to defend the gains our soldiers fought so hard for."

"As expected of you."

Celie said with a smile.

"Not like some big liar who is incompetent and selfish."

The Lannister turned a deaf ear, the brief moment of jealousy gone from him.

He suddenly realized that after Rhodes learned about the characteristics of the ancient Sun God's envoy, he immediately rushed forward.

In such a short period of time, he came up with this tactic.

This ability is definitely more than just the "restraint" he calls it.

On the way back, Lannister remained silent, thinking a lot.

In the following days, he verified his idea.

Rhodes has a natural fighting instinct.

He usually looks unremarkable, but at critical moments, he can always make the right choice in the shortest time.

This is a fairly rare ability.

It comes from combat intuition and understanding of combat that are beyond the ordinary. At the moment of making a decision, even the person himself may not be aware of why he did what he did.

This is a natural born fighter.

Lannister no longer even felt jealous, he was thinking about how to use this ability to achieve greater results.

After several attempts, he initially mastered this method and adjusted his tactical strategy. All combatants or non-combatants in Lighthouse No. 20 revolved around Rhodes as the absolute core.

The new tactics achieved immediate results.

Lighthouse No. 20 not only eliminated all monsters within sight range, but also made it easier and less stressful, and the warriors even had time to rotate and repair.

A few more days passed like this.

Tyrion, the commander of the war zone on the east side of the Trident River, suddenly came to Lighthouse No. 20.

At this time, they had not received any information from the outside world for several days.

This shows that the war situation may not be good, and even the psychic power for communication is left.

Tyrion is a tall, burly middle-aged man with a square face and a full chin beard.

He once met Rhodes in the old city of Baila, but at that time he was still a second-level commander. Due to heavy losses in the battle, he applied for demotion on his own and became a third-level commander again.

He brought very bad news.

The team that hunted the insect queen failed in its mission, including several high-level combatants being seriously injured, leaving only the guardian Churchel.

But he also consumed a lot of psychic energy and was cursed by the Insect Queen's psychic energy. His combat effectiveness was greatly weakened.

At the same time, an unknown collapse occurred in the underground world, the entrance was greatly expanded, and more demonized ants came out. The battlefield situation was very serious, and the main army was delayed for several days due to some things that could not be made public. It's later than expected.

They need to hold up longer.

This sudden bad news made the members of the lighthouse who had just smiled fall into misery again.

Tyrion said: "I have removed the lighthouse in front of you and am preparing to use Lighthouse No. 20 as the front line to stop the demonized ants on the east side of the entire battlefield."

He raised his hand and his lieutenant handed him a large psychic disk.

"This is a new psychic sensor. Its line-of-sight range is twice as large as the old one."

Lannister and Celie looked at each other, each seeing a hint of worry in the other's eyes.

"certainly."

Tyrion said.

"I have also brought assistance. The combatants from the front lighthouse will gather here. I am also a fourth-level combatant myself, good at rear assistance and long-range fire support. My adjutant and entourage are also mid-level combatants."

Lannister asked: "Where are the palace-level warriors at the lighthouse ahead?"

Tyrion was silent for a few seconds before replying: "They went to assist other lighthouses."

The room fell silent. Tyrion thought they would be dissatisfied. Everyone knew that the real main force was the palace warriors. The commander asked them to take on more important combat tasks, but did not bring the main force.

But what surprised him was that neither Celie nor Lannister had solemn expressions on their faces, but no panic, fear or protest against unfair treatment.

Rhodes on the side just looked thoughtful.

They seem to take their greater responsibilities as a matter of course.

Tyrion thought.

It is indeed the No. 20 lighthouse that created the only bright color on the battlefield.

Rhodes has performed miraculously in battles like Laisuo City, and he will definitely be able to do the same in this battlefield.

He coughed and said: "I'm sorry to suddenly ask you to take on such a heavy responsibility, but there is no other way now. If I don't do this, we will face huge casualties."

"The battle group that is clearing out the perimeter is in a very difficult situation. There are some demonized ants that have escaped around, causing a lot of casualties to our logistics personnel. The combat power of the royal city has been allocated to the limit, and they can no longer mobilize more to support us.”

Tyrion paused for a moment, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Rhodes' face, with fire burning in his eyes.

"I have read all your battle reports. I think you have the ability to withstand the crazy demonized ants. This is the best choice. The expansion of the royal city must not be hindered. The fire must illuminate more places. I want to see the day when we hold up fire and crush the monsters of darkness under our feet.”

He bowed his head deeply.

"We need a larger living space, and Tero needs An to be stronger."

"This is my deepest dream and the Trident is the most important node, please."

The room was quiet for a moment until Rhodes' voice sounded.

"Do not worry."

he said with a smile.

"Here is Trorian's hero. He will not disappoint anyone who expects humankind to be strong."

For a moment, Tyrion felt a heat being injected into his heart. He raised his head and saw Rhodes' young but reliable face, as if he saw the shadow of another great face.

"Will this be the second Alan?"

An idea suddenly came to Tyrion's mind.

The moment it appeared, it firmly occupied the bottom of my heart and couldn't get rid of it.

A few days later.

The battle at Lighthouse No. 20 completely verified his judgment.

After loading a new psychic reactor, the lighthouse began a new campaign.

Since the range and combatants were doubled, in order to avoid confusion, the original team still implemented the original tactics, and the new combatants were assigned and commanded by Tyrion.

Tyrion soon saw with his own eyes why Beacon No. 20 could be the only bright color on this dark battlefield.

Rhodes was the strangest quasi-powerful combatant he had ever seen.

He has powerful long-range attacks and is also very good at melee combat.

It also has a super powerful psychic cannon, which is a rare super fort, but it also has super thick defense. Even the combatants with the defensive barrier characteristics of the turtle shell pale in front of him.

In addition, he also has all kinds of strange fire creations.

Their combatants were completely centered on him, greatly amplifying the characteristics of each of his abilities, thereby exerting 200% of their combat power.

Their commander, Lannister, would choose tactics based on different groups of monsters. With their efforts, the invading demonized ants were killed, leaving corpses all over the field, leaving no trace of armor behind.

Tyrion finally understood that the success of Lighthouse No. 20 was not accidental, but inevitable.

In addition to Rhodes, there is another person here who is good at strategy and tactics.

Lannister.

He has a smart brain, is particularly good at utilizing every bit of combat power, and has an astonishing grasp of combat situations.

Together, they produced a wonderful psychic reaction that multiplied their combat effectiveness.

certainly.

As a former secondary commander, Tyrion's ability is unquestionable.

After witnessing their tactics, he made reasonable changes to cooperate with them as much as possible and share the pressure for them.

In this way, with their joint efforts, the defensive range doubled, and the No. 20 beacon on the front line became stable again.

However, the situation on the battlefield has not fundamentally changed.

Herman, the first commander in charge of operations in the entire Trident River area, sent a message to them, asking them to once again expand their sight range in order to save the crumbling flanks under the impact of the demonized ants.

Tyrion looked sad.

For every additional point in range, the pressure increases by three, and although they are holding up so far, the pressure is still high.

He wasn't sure if they could survive the coming battle.

Rhodes didn't care much and just asked.

"Why hasn't my Black Legion arrived yet?"
