The unprecedented comprehensive purge of Shangcheng District was undoubtedly the most watched event in the royal city during this period.
The streets and alleys of the entire royal city are discussing who was arrested, who was found guilty, and who was sentenced to death.
Silver Cross Street located at the east gate of the city has become the busiest street in the royal city. It is crowded with people every day. When evening comes, countless people gather here and look forward to it.
They all came to see the former high-ranking figures in the royal city being sentenced to death.
Those convicted were locked in sturdy black iron prison cars and covered with silver shackles.
The prison car will be pulled out of the city gate at night, placed in the dark fog without any protection, and then pulled back at night the next day.
At this time, these smooth-skinned, oily guys have turned into monsters with black bodies, red eyes, distorted faces, and various deformed limbs or pustules.
The executioners then beheaded them.
Their corpses turned into black ashes like monsters, and there were also some shapeless lumps in the falling ashes.
They looked wet and slimy, like a dissected mass of tumor.
This is the ashes of undifferentiated monsters.
They were brutally eroded into monsters. Many of the changes were strange and shapeless. The ashes contained strong pollution and were worthless.
The executioner chops it into pieces with a machete, burns it to ashes with fire, and flushes it into the sewer. This completes the entire black execution.
To be fair, Rhodes thought it was quite cruel, but the onlookers didn't think so. They all clapped their hands and applauded, celebrating the elimination of another human cancer.
In fact, apart from people like the king, those who most longed for the Kingdom of Trolian to be strong forever were the common people.
Only a powerful human nation can protect low-level civilians like them in this dark world.
Therefore, they also hate those sinners who hold high positions and enjoy countless resources, but are destroying the foundation of mankind.
Watching these people being executed was one of the things that made them feel the most hope and light in this endless darkness.
Moreover, the execution of the black death penalty can also greatly damage the survival soil of doomsday believers.
After seeing these good people wandering around in the black mist and turning into monsters, few people believe their nonsense about "living together with the black mist" and "evolving into new species adapted to the black mist".
And this is also a powerful shock to those big and small figures in the royal city.
No one would be disappointed by the consequences of violating the bottom line.
As the punishment progressed, the atmosphere in the royal city improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the past few decades, the atmosphere of corruption that had accumulated in the huge royal city was quickly clarified, and the trend of thought that had just emerged, focusing on seclusion and extravagant enjoyment, was instantly dispelled.
Rhodes knew that in this kind of society, the atmosphere of the upper class would greatly affect the atmosphere of the lower class. This is the saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
Now, after the source of this atmosphere in the upper level is cleared, the atmosphere in the lower level will be greatly improved.
The Trorian King's City, which has existed for thousands of years, once again glows with new vitality, just like dead trees blooming and old trees blossoming.
In this new atmosphere, everyone was full of energy and started working enthusiastically. A large amount of combat materials were gathered, and major factories were working at full capacity. The efficiency was several times higher than before.
Unnecessary production was stopped, and everything was prepared for the coming war.
Everyone feels extremely fulfilled and happy.
Even Rhodes fell in love with Yan Kai after the First Elder Armando handed him the power of executioner.
Black Death Penalty and all that, great!
The only slight flaw is that a small number of people were released due to lack of evidence.
There is nothing we can do about it. The book of the past is not omnipotent. Some historical images have been erased and cannot be traced back.
However, they were investigated extremely harshly for their involvement.
His original position was suspended, and his family property was wiped out by Rhodes.
Speaking of this, Rhodes felt happiest.
After he took out those photo crystals, it goes without saying that the theft must have been done by him.
But no one mentioned this matter, and everyone in the royal city understood it tacitly.
After the trial, the inspectors acquiesced that the stolen items did not exist, and the stolen items were directly sealed.
These properties naturally belonged to Rhodes.
The huge amount made him directly have no interest in money. The money bag was also directly given to Molly, and he no longer needed to touch the money.
Molly suddenly received such a big surprise, even her serious face almost stopped tightening.
With such a large amount of money and property, Star Town can develop faster, and Molly is determined to build it into the central town of Trorian in the west.
The key to achieving this is the psychic elevator jointly invented by Rhodes and the Industrial Machinery Research Institute.
Molly took inspiration from dungeon patterns.
With psychic elevators, they could build higher-rise houses.
The same area can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of times as many people.
In this way, Fanxing Town can accommodate a larger population.
This is also what the entire Trollian longs for most - sending the population to Star Town has become a panacea for the major governors to solve all problems.
Of course, the cost of doing this is very high, and currently only Fanxing Town can afford it.
Therefore, this amount of money was like a puddle of clear water poured into the hottest desert. It made Molly feel comfortable. When the news of what happened in the Royal City reached Fanxing Town, it made her heart feel like a ball of fire. Burning.
Of course, you can't tell this from the outside.
Molly's delicate face was always serious, and every clerk in the administrative office was working diligently under her eyes, not daring to breathe.
If you want to see another side of her, you can only wait for Rhodes to arrive.
Not only Molly, but also senior staff such as Armando, Horus, and Dalin were overjoyed by the recent changes. The atmosphere of the entire royal city was like returning to more than ten years ago, and that familiar feeling made them I miss you so much and am so excited.
The preparations for the war suddenly entered the fast lane, and it would not be long before they could officially expand westward.
The Holy Fire Project is also in full swing.
All participants in the plan are preparing for a battle with the Tasnian Starry Sky City, which once also bore the name of the Fire King City.
This will be the battle that determines the fate of the safe human race in Troli.
Must succeed, cannot fail.
Everyone was very busy, but Rhodes became idle.
After the cleanup, the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office and the Inquisition took over the defense work in the upper city, and he, the captain of the King's Hand, had nothing to do.
Molly takes care of everything in Fanxing Town, and he is no longer needed.
The dreamland is peaceful for the time being, and the hunting operation needs to wait until the book of knowledge restores the soul.
It either overeats or sleeps like a pig every day.
But Rhodes now has almost nothing to do except meditate, train, and occasionally carry out executions.
The masters who tutored him praised his perfect coordination of spirit and body, requiring almost no additional fine-tuning. As long as he waited for the natural growth of his spiritual power, after breaking through level 9, he could officially become a third-level combatant and officially enter Troli. The ranks of the strong.
But the problem is that Rhodes' spiritual power cannot grow naturally.
Either strengthen the stars or ignite new stars.
There is no third way.
But [Star Shuttle] requires three great souls to enter the perfect state, while other stars are already full and will not grow unless they are "quantified".
He cannot become stronger in the days without fighting.
Souls obtained through execution are too weak.
In terms of strength alone, human souls are far inferior to monster souls.
It's of little use to him, the only way to use it is to destroy and burn it.
However, these guys live in the royal city all year round and generally have weak combat effectiveness. Unless they have a special soul like the King of Thieves, they are of little use.
Rhodes couldn't wait any longer and wanted to find Wang.
But he is very busy now. He is either at the Holy Fire Sacrifice or in the Supreme Council all day long, discussing various matters with senior figures such as the elders, the defense chief, and the legion commander.
Sometimes he would disappear, and it was said that he went to the Hall of Fire to meet with Trorian's top fighting force.
Rhodes searched several times but failed to find anyone, so he had to look for Horus.
But the latter had no idea of letting him fight.
"Rhode, the battle in Fanxing Town lasted for nearly five months. As usual, you need to rest for two months to completely eliminate the pollution in your soul and the hidden dangers in your body."
Rod was very depressed.
For ordinary warriors, contact with monsters, fighting, and killing will cause the soul to be polluted, especially if they are active under the black mist for a long time, the erosion of the soul will become even worse.
Sometimes, although it appears to be purified on the surface, there is still corruption hidden deep down that is not easy to detect.
Once the pollution touches the core layer of the soul, it is irreversible, and all that awaits is death or deterioration.
Therefore, the purification of the soul is a long-term task. Warriors who have been fighting outside for a long time must return to the royal city and receive the baptism of their souls under the shroud of the holy fire.
This is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years, gained through countless lessons of blood and tears.
But Rhodes is not a normal person.
All pollution and corruption will be offset by human nature, and he will be fine even if he rushes into the black mist without protection and takes a dip.
After experiencing a series of events, his humanity has now exceeded one million, and he is not afraid of any pollution at all.
But no matter how he explained it, Horus didn't believe it.
Even if the soul masters praised his soul as pure as crystal, they could not reassure him.
Much spoilage cannot be detected at all.
The current Rhodes is simply the most precious treasure to him. He is the son of God given to them by the legendary God of Light and Fire. There is no accident at all.
The rules must be followed strictly.
Rhodes' skin was worn out, but Horus didn't agree, and even used the Sisters to divert his attention.
Although he was reluctant, Rhodes reluctantly agreed to take over this second team that belonged to him.
He was a little excited when he thought that all the nuns and sisters in this group were under his control.
But this time, he fell into Horus's trap.
The main church of the Holy Church is in the southernmost part of the upper city.
In a sacred atmosphere full of flame symbols and colorful glass, a group of people walked out of the side hall and came to Rhodes.
The leader was as tall as three Rhodes and as wide as two Rhodes. His forearms were thicker than Rhodes's entire body. His square face was full of muscles, and his thighs were as thick as steel. I want to burst the black silk stockings.
"Sir Rhodes, Head Sister Frankie is here to see you."
Rhodes' whole face was about to burst.
Is this a nun?
With his majestic muscles, resolute face, and thick beard, this man who is stronger than Schwarzenegger actually calls himself a nun?
Even if you call yourself a nun, you still wear a nun's uniform and a nun's hat.
The most disgusting thing is that she is actually wearing black stockings. Those elephant legs full of muscles almost burst the black stockings.
Simply blind!
Then came the blinder.
A group of tall and thick nuns, wearing nun uniforms and black silk elephant legs, walked towards him, lined up, half-kneeling on the ground, and said loudly.
"The Healing Order, the Nineteenth Sisters, meet Lord Rhodes!"
To be honest, Rhodes almost vomited.
He originally suspected that Horus was deliberately messing with him, but he soon remembered.
As the Healing Order that undertakes most of the medical tasks in the royal city, the condition for becoming a core member of the Healing Sisters is to ignite the soul characteristic "clear light".
The "Clear Light" trait is a universal trait with no bloodline, soul, or gender requirements.
In other words, there are both men and women who are awakened.
However, according to the ancient rules of the Healing Order, both men and women are called nuns.
This led to the emergence of male nuns.
They wore the same clothes and did the same work as the nuns, and no one thought anything was wrong.
Because Trorian has been like this since ancient times.
Horus is undoubtedly an old-fashioned man. He doesn't understand the real needs of young people at all, so he created such a blind thing.
Rhodes covered his face and didn't want to speak for the time being.
Sister Frankie and others still didn't know Rhode's inner activities, and were still in the excitement of meeting the legendary supernova, waiting for the hero's lecture.
After a moment of silence, Rhodes sighed deeply, then put down his hand and forced a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Frankie. You are much bigger than I thought. I heard that the bigger the person, the stronger the healing ability. You must be the strongest healer, right?"
Frankie suddenly beamed with joy, clapped his chest and said, "Of course! I am one of the thirty-two central medical practitioners. Although they don't believe me, I know that I am the best, and you are the only one." The person who sees this! He is indeed a legendary superhero! Following you, we will definitely be able to exert 300% of our strength."
He turned around and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, isn't it?"
The nuns responded in unison: "That's right, Captain Frankie!"
The voice was loud and full of masculinity, causing the dust on the roof to fall down.
Rhodes sighed in his heart, but he still pulled himself together and started chatting with them. After a while, he got along with them and became brothers.
After becoming the leader of the nuns, the first thing Rhodes did was to have them all change their clothes, especially the blinding black stockings, into men's suits.
This time it finally looked more pleasing to the eye.
The second thing is to let them return to work in the Healing Order in new clothes.
The war hasn't started yet, so he won't need them for the time being.
Frankie returned happily with his brothers, looking forward to the day of fighting side by side with Lord Rhodes.
Rhodes was so angry that his liver ached, and he went back to find Horus to settle the score.
As expected, this guy didn't understand why Rhodes was dissatisfied, and Rhodes was too embarrassed to speak out his old and perverted remarks publicly, so he could only ask Horus to arrange combat missions for him.
"First Evolution"
But Horus still had no such plan, and he slapped a detailed itinerary in Rhode's hand.
"You still have a lot to do. In the next period of time, you have to complete everything on the schedule."
Rhodes lowered his head and saw that they were all dates for visits to various institutions and departments in the royal city.
The plan was quite detailed, even including the time he had agreed with the Jinworth Society, the great scholar Amides and others.
"Isn't it?"
Rhodes asked with a grimace.
"Can't you let me go on a few hunting missions? My big stick has been thirsty for a long time. If I don't kill monsters for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over."
Horus said seriously: "No! You will not only be a combatant in the future, but will also assume important positions in the royal city. If you don't understand the various institutions in the royal city in advance, meet with them, and have a clear understanding of them, you will not be able to do anything in the future." How are you qualified?"
Rhodes sighed: "I just want to kill monsters, don't I?"
"no!"
Horus' expression was as severe as ever.
"A person's power is always limited. The power of the collective is much greater than you think. You have to be good at using it to have any chance of final victory."
Rhodes grimaced. He didn't like these troublesome things, but he had to admit that Horus's words were correct to a certain extent.
"brat."
Horus' tone softened.
"I understand how you feel, but you have to know that killing blindly is not enough. I was once just like you, full of passion and just wanted to kill all the darkness in this world."
"But then it became clear to me that this was impossible."
"So I hope that an omnipotent God will come and bring us light and completely drive away the darkness."
"And when I learned about history, I found that in this endless history, such a thing has never existed."
"So, after that, I knew that everything can only rely on us, relying on our hands, blood, courage and wisdom, the inheritance of fire, the continuation of civilization, nothing else."
Horus gently patted Rhodes on the shoulder.
"Do you know what the most precious thing about you is?"
Rhodes shook his head slightly.
"It's not your strength, it's not those weird abilities, it's not your potential."
Rhodes asked strangely: "What is that?"
Horus said softly.
"You gave us hope."
“With hope, there is the possibility of creating miracles.”
"You will know later what kind of behemoth we are facing."
"But I firmly believe that we will win in the end because..."
Horus's dry face showed a little smile, and his pride flashed in it.
"We humans have never surrendered since ancient times."
