"The long night passes from fire to fire, and the embers never go out." - Playwright
"The goal of this game is to become the new 'king'. The memory has been sealed, and the props and abilities on the body will be adjusted to fit the image of this world."
The one who called Wu Hui was the Witch King.
At this time, the Witch King looked exhausted and had just fallen from the crow state next to Wu Hui.
It has been two years since the sun went out again, and a lot has happened in these two years. The situation is getting worse and worse, as if it has returned to the time when darkness has just fallen and King Xin has not yet appeared.
The number of doomsday sects has increased a lot. Moreover, various magical beasts will appear out of thin air in the darkness. Even the Black King himself is wreaking havoc everywhere.
The two factions of the Light are leaderless. Although Lewis, who was invested by Wu Hui, gradually developed into the largest faction, he is not a king and it is difficult to convince the public.
The firewood produced by the Fire King is getting less and less day by day.
In order to maintain the survival of mankind, the Witch King is still running around every day. Today I took the time to visit the Dark City managed by Wu Hui.
"Teacher." Wu Hui greeted the Witch King. He is also very busy. Although he now has the strongest strength below the king level, it has no effect in the overall situation.
There are still too few things that one person can do, and he does not rely on combat power. Most of the time, he summons various creatures to move bricks and do work.
He is no longer the manager of a place without dark cities. Now more than half of the cities in the world are directly or indirectly managed by Wu Hui. Various mass-produced magical industrial products spread, making everyone's life in the dark a little easier.
"Actually, you can call me father." The Witch King smiled: "After all, you are an orphan and you are married.
My daughter, right? "
Wu Hui did not answer: "What are you doing here?"
He married the Witch King's daughter Rein a year ago. Since then, he has completely taken over most of the political power. and took over many of the towns on his side as King Xin became increasingly incapacitated.
Now he is the chief consul of the Covenant of Kings, a leadership class.
But no matter how strong his management skills are, he cannot withstand the deterioration of the situation day by day. There may not be that much a wise man can do in the face of the tide of the times.
Do your best and do your best, and no one can say you are wrong.
But it makes no sense, darkness is still coming day by day. In recent years, the research on solar debris has also hit a bottleneck. What Wu Hui once said about finding ways to eliminate darkness now seems to be just empty words to boost morale.
Solar debris is what's left after the sun was snuffed out by darkness for the second time. It can help people shield themselves from the erosion of the spirit by darkness.
The erosion is very serious now, and coupled with the lack of firewood, residents in many gathering places in the wilderness have suffered from mental and physical alienation caused by darkness on a large scale.
Ordinary people tend to discriminate against and drive away such dangerous and polluting people. They usually end up joining the doomsday faction. Making trouble everywhere.
The Witch King and Wu Hui didn't chat for long before they turned into crows and flew away again. I don't know where the problem occurred again and it is difficult to solve it.
Nowadays, only the Witch King, Soul King, and Dream King are left with human king-level combat capabilities. The old king, King Bai, is dead. The Black King and everyone are not in the same group. King Xin was half dead and could only lie down. Therefore, there are only three king-level combat capabilities that can be dispatched. And must
The number of problems that can only be solved by a king is increasing day by day.
Wu Hui looked at the various data compiled by Gwen, the consul's secretary.
There have been more and more attacks by doomsday sects recently. He planned to send Emily to organize some reliable dark invaders, who would gain sanity through the power of sun debris, specifically to deal with the doomsday sects operating in the city. It can be regarded as a batch of usable combat power.
The name is, Night Watchman.
He has another thing to do today, which is to meet Lewis.
The former priests of the Illuminati, or those at the New Sun Research Institute, have been reorganized many times in the past two years, and many have died. One group committed suicide after seeing the gods fall, while another group's beliefs collapsed and lost their strength. There are still some who are fighting on the front line against darkness and have suffered heavy losses.
Lao Liu is the last one. He and his followers now have a new name, the Bright Front.
Of course, the Bright Front has always been a bit of a mercenary, and Lao Liu didn't have the energy to run the territory. But he knew that he couldn't continue like this, so he decided to join the Alliance of Kings.
You also need to pay attention to methods when joining. Direct dialogue with the governors of the Kings Alliance like Wu Hui is naturally the best way.
After all, Wu Hui has been funding them over the years, and the two parties have a basis for cooperation.
"You're here." Wu Hui took the time to meet with Liu Dangren: "Do you need to be polite? Or should you go straight to the point?"
Liu Dangren smiled: "Let's get straight to the point. We don't have time to waste now."
The conditions given by Wu Hui are good. The Bright Front can maintain its own structure without reorganization, and can recruit people from the territory of the Kings Alliance. Wu Hui and the others directly rely on finance.
Raise this group of combat effectiveness.
But at the same time, it also has to protect most of the areas under the Alliance of Kings, and is mainly responsible for fighting against the darkness in the wilderness.
The night watchmen only deal with doomsday cultists, and are of a law and order nature. The Bright Front is a real army. And they are all extraordinary, so it is difficult to manage and utilize them. Wu Hui didn't have that much energy, so he could only trust Liu Dangren and give him more autonomy.
After the two sides chatted, there were still many details to finalize for the subordinates. But even just like this, an afternoon passed.
"There is still some time, we can talk about other things." Wu Hui took a cup of tea from Lin Qingwen's hand. The taste of this tea is very ordinary. There is no good tea these days. Everyone has real value. thing.
Luxury goods are becoming increasingly rare.
All the money was spent on things like weapons and recruiting soldiers. For people's livelihood development...not much. Few of the private factories that Wu Hui had hoped for back then were opened. We really don’t have any spare money to invest, so we don’t even think about economic development.
"It's very hard." Liu Dangren said, "There are firewood everywhere now, and the darkness is getting heavier and heavier. No matter how good you are, there is no point. Unless you can create firewood."
"It's not impossible." Wu Hui said.
"You are of greater significance to this world now. The Alliance of Kings will be half paralyzed without you. After I hand over the Bright Front to you, you will definitely not let them down, right?" Liu Dangren said.
Wu Hui: "...Are you going to inherit the power of King Xin?"
This is not a good thing. After all, becoming the salary king means that everything about you will be burned. Now everyone has the name of Salary King and what he once did
Everything has been forgotten.
"Although you are the most suitable, as the second most suitable, I shouldn't be too bad, right?" Liu Dangren said.
Wu Hui had no comment. I just clinked tea cups with Liu Dangren.
