CH 184

The Royal City.

The Royal District.

The Supreme Military Headquarters.

In the square castle-like building, countless staff members were busy throughout the night.

In all of Thalorian, with its twenty defense zones and six war zones, as well as thousands of strongholds, all personnel arrangements, mobilizations, supplies, and support came from here.

Since the arrival of the Dark Tide, the castle of the military headquarters had not rested for a single day, and everyone was working in two shifts.

And now, this busyness had reached an unprecedented peak.

The giant undead broke through the walls of the Iron Armor Fortress, and the city of Soso was destroyed by the Abyssal Serpent. The intense battles triggered unknown abyssal rifts, and the situation had become extremely tense. Bad news followed one after another, and the precarious front line made people extremely anxious.

After the arrival of the First Knight Arlan at the Iron Armor Fortress, things finally stabilized slightly.

And the series of victory reports from the old city of Baira brought a feeling that the darkest moment had passed and the dawn was about to come.

The First Defense Commander, Dulin, pulled out all his hair. The elite combat cluster that had just been formed represented their hope of turning the tide.

If they could successfully recapture the city of Soso, then the Third War Zone would return to its pre-broken state, and the combat power of the inner defense line could be unleashed.

The entire war situation would be revitalized, and Dulin would have room to maneuver, which would be of great significance to the final victory.

And the news about Lord Theodore was the biggest surprise.

Since the city of Soso was broken and Theodore went missing, everyone had been in a state of great anxiety.

No one wanted this old man to leave. His disappearance was a bigger blow than the breaking of the city of Soso. Dulin, the First Defense Commander, even faced questioning from the Elder Council because of this.

If it weren't for the king resolving the situation for him, the elders wouldn't have let him off so easily. At the very least, they would have made him swallow a few more mouthfuls of saliva.

And when Lord Theodore's personal guard brought his soul ripple to extinguish fires everywhere, the news spread to the Supreme Military Headquarters like snowflakes.

At that moment, everyone in the Royal District saw a boiling castle of the military headquarters.

When Dulin found out that the magic guard who possessed Theodore's soul ripple was actually Rode, who had publicly killed the Chief Justice Greygrove, his expression was truly wonderful. He had originally planned to marry his eldest daughter to this star who brought them hope and give him a high position to lead a combat cluster alone.

But now it seemed impossible.

His eldest daughter was old enough to be Rode's mother, and that little guy was only at the third level of spiritual power, which was lower than any warrior in a combat cluster or a permanent combat cluster.

And he also carried a huge punishment. Greygrove had not been officially judged yet, and some evidence against him had been destroyed by some people with ulterior motives. The Internal Affairs Adjudication Hall was intensively investigating, and the Chief Adjudicator Lucien personally led the team, determined to dig out the truth.

Although the evidence was insufficient, almost everyone believed that Greygrove was a member of the Doomsday Cult. Therefore, the days were not easy for Jon, the candidate for the king. He had recently become much more low-key, restraining all activities and focusing on the defense of the defense zone.

The momentum of Green Feather, another candidate for the king, had increased, but she had been too rash in protecting her own people, which made many elders dissatisfied. The candidates for the king should be absolutely rational and fair, but Green Feather was too emotional, and subjective likes and dislikes replaced logical judgment. This was obviously unqualified.

But Dulin was not concerned about the struggle for the throne.

The king was in his prime and there were at least twenty years before the time to truly select a new king. By then, there might be more and stronger candidates for the king.

In any case, after this campaign, Rode's punishment could be lifted. His achievements this time were enough to clear his guilt and complete his redemption. After that, the cultivation of this new star could proceed on the right track.

Dulin's focus was on whether the recovery operation of the elite combat cluster could proceed smoothly.

For this, he mobilized seven guardians, including Jon and Green Feather, forty superior knights including the War God Soren from the Bako Soe, and one hundred vow knights and battle priests from the Holy Church.

If necessary, he would also transfer Mephisto, the Tabooist who was assisting Lord Arlan.

Arlan would never fail, and everyone believed in this, so when necessary, he would bear the greatest pressure.

The victor of the oath would never disappoint.

With this lineup, the team was very powerful and one of the strongest elite combat clusters formed in recent years.

As long as they successfully recaptured the city of Soso, Dulin could immediately send a large number of city defense forces to take over the strongholds and restore the defense.

However, although the elite combat cluster was strong, the enemies were also very powerful.

In addition to the monsters of the Dark Tide, there were also monsters from the Abyss, as well as monsters who were once their compatriots.

Dulin observed this team repeatedly and examined it from various angles. In the end, he found that they lacked a powerful master of magic.

The master of magic possessed infinite possibilities and was a super versatile existence that included attack, control, support, healing, and enhancement functions. The one hundred and seven spells made him almost flawless.

How could the strongest team not have a master of magic?

However, there were no master magicians left in the Thalorian Royal City that could be mobilized.

Just as Dulin was worrying, news from the old city of Baira arrived at the military headquarters like snowflakes.

At that moment, even though Dulin never believed in the existence of true gods, he couldn't help but wonder if the gods of light and fire had heard his inner prayer.

There was no more powerful master magician than Lord Theodore.Dalim immediately issued an order, instructing Rode to notify Lord Theodore to rendezvous with the elite combat cluster immediately.

He also instructed the leader of the combat cluster, Jon, to prepare the best medical measures and purification methods to welcome Lord Theodore back from the bloody battle.

With the addition of Lord Theodore, the strongest elite combat cluster would be born.

There was no doubt about it.

Dalim stared at the war sand table. The glowing yellow represented humans, and the dark black represented monsters. The humans, who were once in a state of decline, now seemed to be thriving and full of vitality.

Perhaps...

He thought optimistically.

The legendary spring was about to arrive.

Thalorian Defense Circle.

Third War Zone.

Muddy Swamp.

A faint light pierced through the black fog, like a sword cutting through the sky, disappearing into the vast darkness in the blink of an eye.

It was Rode.

Upon hearing the news of the combat cluster, Rode instinctively flew out. He didn't even know their location, but his instinct had already conjured up a possibility in his mind.

The elite combat cluster would only set off from the Victory Fortress, enter the Third War Zone from the Giant Stone Lighthouse, and head towards Laisuo City.

With this in mind, he flew towards the Giant Stone Lighthouse without hesitation.

The situation in the old city of Byra had stabilized, and the recovery plan of Tyrion and Vila could be completed by themselves.

The operation in Laisuo City was the most dangerous.

A strange feeling emerged in his heart. It seemed that the time of the Dean's existence was about to end, and he was eager to do more before leaving.

"Immortal Wood Adventure"

The previous continuous battles had once again exhausted his spiritual power. Rode didn't have time to recover slowly and used "Awakening" again.

There was no limit to its use. As long as he could withstand the aftermath, he could use it as many times as he wanted.

A slight sense of joy came from his heart, as if the Dean was thanking him.

Rode didn't know how to respond, so he followed his instinct and rushed to the Giant Stone Lighthouse at the fastest speed.
