The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1354 - 670: The Arrival of the Invincible War God

Trolian Royal City.

Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

It was not until the chime of the nighttime bell that the four finally finished recounting the entire sequence of events.

Apart from the king, Bossivale, First Elder Amendo, First Defense Chief Dalin, Scholar Bins, Barrett, and Hullen and Wind from the Logistics Resource Department were all shocked by their astonishing experiences and the unbelievable truth about the Horror Castle.

"Holy King Yasi Oushenas is indeed an incredibly great ruler."

Bossivale sighed deeply.

"My impoverished vocabulary fails to describe his greatness, yet we have never heard his name in history, as if something erased the traces of his existence."

Professor Bins nodded lightly and said, "Indeed, logically speaking, a figure who initiated the Fire Epoch and sheltered humanity for two thousand years should have left very significant marks in history. However, among the various relics of the Fire Epoch, we at most know some vague legends, without specific deeds, without a name."

"The first time I learned about the legend of the Horror Castle was from the long-destroyed Starry Kingdom. The Starry Queen did not even know it was the legacy of a True King, only that it contained numerous Star Sources."

Professor Barrett rubbed his chin: "That’s definitely not right; something is deliberately erasing his existence."

Rod attempted to say, "Could it be the Black Fog itself? Looking at his deeds and testament, the Holy King posed a great threat to the Black Fog. His Bright Light Attribute might have significantly inhibited the Black Fog’s pollution. Everything about him might be classified as taboo by the Source of the Black Fog, just like um..."

He originally wanted to mention the Dream Realm but immediately realized it was still taboo.

"Just like certain Ancient Gods."

Bossivale continued his words: "In the Ancient Epoch, we discovered many vacancies for Ancient Gods, as if they never existed, and only in the Great Temple can the lack of existence be found."

Professor Bins softly said, "The more I understand history, the more terrified I become. It’s hard to imagine how much we have sacrificed to still possess the remnants of fire today."

"Indeed."

Bossivale immediately thought of their pope: "Without them, I can’t imagine what things would be like now."

The king, who had been quietly listening to them, suddenly spoke.

"Regarding the Spirit Throne and the remains of the Holy King, I decided to place it in the center of the Trolian Kingdom, approximately in the area of Dust Swamp."

Horus frowned and asked, "Why? Wouldn’t it be better to place it in the Royal City? Beside the Holy Fire, it’s hard for anything to pollute it."

The king shook his head slightly.

"First, the Royal City doesn’t have a suitable position to place such a large throne."

"Second, I sensed during the battle that this Spirit Throne possesses strong protective power. When we ignite the Fire Kindling, it will reconnect with the lingering consciousness of the Holy King, and this protective power will shield the entire city, extending further to protect the entire kingdom."

"Therefore, placing it in the center of the kingdom can guard the internal parts of Trolian, while the Black Fog Great Wall built by the Star Marrow Altar will protect the external parts of Trolian. This way, we only need to defend less than ten strongholds, liberating a large portion of our combat power, allowing our key strategic weapons to play an even more significant role."

The king lightly waved his hand, and the spiritual energy imaging disk in front of him projected the expanded territory of Trolian.

That vast territory had expanded nearly tenfold compared to three years ago, with various resources and minerals skyrocketing by a hundredfold.

Moreover, for such a large territory, their defensive line was greatly shortened. There was no longer a need to establish thousands of strongholds like before to counter the tide of monsters.

The "Sanctuary" plan was like building a dam, holding back the flood of monsters behind it.

Of course, if it only blocks without discharge, the flood will eventually overflow across the dam and inundate the inland.

Therefore, in each direction, there would be one or two strongholds serving as the "floodgates" of the dam, just like the city gates within city walls.

In the plan, the western "Great City Gate" would be the Great Dragon City, the eastern would be the Eastern Fortress, the southern would be the Wind City, and the northern would be the Royal City itself.

Rod felt a movement in his heart and asked, "How did the Star Marrow Altar test go?"

Before departing for Saint Reel, he was fully responsible for testing the Star Marrow Altar, and before setting out, he tuned the Star Marrow Altar to its strongest state for convenient testing.

Dalin replied, "The testing of the Star Marrow Altar went smoothly, basically meeting our expectations. The Spirit’s Curtain it raised can bend and deform without damage, fully enough to cover the east, west, and south directions, without affecting our future expansion... If necessary, changes are easy to make, though the Black Fog Great Wall does have specific requirements."

He paused for a moment, pointing to the light points on the spiritual energy imaging disk.

"The ’gates’ of the Eternal Sanctuary are basically confirmed. Three large city gates, five small ones, only the north is special, with the Northern Great Wall on the Dead Ash Mountain Range as the defensive line, and the Royal City as the only large city gate, guarding the entire north."

"With the king and the Holy Fire overseeing, I believe that’s the safest direction."

"In addition, with the Spirit Throne guarding the interior, our territory has increased tenfold while our defensive pressure has decreased by a hundredfold."
