The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1366 - 674: I Have Another Way

Rod answered casually, "Of course, I rely on my unparalleled wisdom and extraordinary skills. Each time I kill a monster, I precisely control the force and direction of my attack, just enough to break its soul body with characteristics and store it in my storage space. After so many battles, is accumulating a little strange?"

"A little? How much is it?"

"Well, about more than 40,000 pieces."

Megan and Ryanbeck’s eyes almost popped out:

"What did you say, more than 40,000 pieces?"

"Calier’s Whisper of Secrets can only cut out a hundred pieces a day, and soul traits of higher quality are only in single digits."

"Could they be substandard broken pieces?"

Rod casually took out a cluster of soul traits: "Is this okay?"

Megan’s old face blossomed like a chrysanthemum: "Top quality, perfect cutting method, genius cutting trajectory. Can I have this one? I can have Annie accompany you for a night!"

Ryanbeck shouted angrily, "Give it to me, it’s useless for him. I’ll have Mephit accompany you for ten nights!"

Soul traits are the core for Spirit Bearers, and they need to resonate with them to gain power.

Both Calier’s Secret Troops and Taboo Armament are eager to obtain them, especially those of top quality.

Rod gave him a disdainful look.

Do you still think you have control over Mephit? Do I need your say to have Mephit accompany me?

As for Annie, she is both a Spirit Bearer and an Unawakened. Half of her body is fused with the Steel Dragon, with strength comparable to monsters.

Rod has no interest in monster girls.

"Stop arguing."

Rod took out another piece and handed it over:

"Here, one piece for each of you."

Megan grabbed both pieces into her arms, and Ryanbeck immediately pounced.

The two of them started fighting in front of the King.

"Enough."

The King shouted.

"Behave yourselves."

A suppression of Spiritual Energy brought the two together, unable to move.

"Lord Rod!"

Bossivale suddenly grasped his hand and said eagerly.

"I still need the Mountain Heart and Mountain Blood. They are condensed matter of the mountain and earth, associated with special minerals, only found in super-sized giant mineral veins. Unfortunately, there are no such veins within Trolian. However, beyond the Dark Great Plain, they can be found, but it’s perilous and requires extremely high perception; otherwise, it takes hundreds or thousands of years to find them little by little."

Rod smiled slightly.

Isn’t this just perfect?

[Super Inspiration]is not just for show?

"Alright, leave it to me."

At this moment, Bossivale suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful, Lord Rod, your presence is the fortune of humankind. The words of Luo Weiya make so much sense; perhaps you are indeed the angel envoy of Fire Heaven, and all disasters are just the precursors of human revival."

Big Lin also looked at Rod with hope, hoping he could propose a strategy to change the battle situation.

Rod had shown such talent before, and he firmly believed it.

Rod asked directly: "Why can’t we directly occupy Great Dragon City?"

Big Lin explained: "Like the Royal City, Great Dragon City is also an ancient city built by giants. It’s larger and older than the Royal City, lying dormant for countless years in darkness, accumulating innumerable pollution. Countless powerful monsters lurk beneath it, and without clearing these sources of contamination completely, the Fire Spark of the Guardian Fire cannot be planted."

"But Great Dragon City is far from our current frontline position, making supplies transportation difficult, and the clearance process is extremely lengthy. Ultimately, we had to retreat."

Rod asked: "Why must we fortify in Great Dragon City? Wouldn’t it be better to find another stronghold?"

Big Lin shook his head slightly, "Lord Rod, you must understand, this is a battle with the Ancient God. No other stronghold qualifies. Great Dragon City is the Giant City, fortified with super strong Spiritual Energy, incredibly sturdy, housing the largest Fire Soul Artifact, which can accommodate the most prosperous Guardian Fire. If we cannot fight in Great Dragon City, the only option is the Royal City."

That certainly won’t do; the God of Contaminated Blood charging all the way to the Royal City would cause untold areas to suffer severe pollution, and the loss would be unimaginable.

In his mind, the Book of Knowledge spoke: "Master, I remembered, Great Dragon City is a War City built by giants. Remember the soul of the King of the Deep Sea, Asdes?"

Rod frowned slightly. He remembered the soul described as [Asdes was one of the twelve former Giant Kings, killed in the Giant Royal Court battle, fallen and corrupted, becoming one of the Spirit Realm’s terrifying sources].

"What do you mean?"

"The Giant Royal Court battle took place in Great Dragon City and was one of the significant wars leading to the downfall of the Giant Clan."

"How do you know this?"

"A previous master once sought the traces of giants, but it was so long ago that I almost buried it in the depths of memory. Only through these experiences did I recall."

"What does this have to do with our current predicament?"

The Book of Knowledge confidently said: "The pollution deep within Great Dragon City mainly stems from the fallen Giant King. And I happen to have a way to deal with giants."

Rod’s lips curled up, his thoughts immediately clear, and he spoke aloud.

"Expand the war according to the original steps; being too hasty could be counterproductive."

"As for Great Dragon City, leave it to me."

Big Lin looked at him in surprise.

"Can this work?"

Rod smiled slightly: "Don’t forget, standing before you is King Rod. I can take Great Dragon City by relying solely on my power. You just prepare yourselves."

Big Lin looked towards the King for assistance.

The King, however, understood: "Rest assured."

Only then did Big Lin relax. As long as Great Dragon City is secured, everything will be fine.

As for transporting supplies, there is even less to worry about.

Rod’s bottomless pit can even swallow the vast Spirit Throne. Packing a few boxes of supplies is hardly a problem, right?

Finally, Rod set his gaze on Megan, the Great Priest, and Ryanbeck, the leader of the Taboo Armament.

"Calier’s Secret Troops and Taboo Armament are also part of Trolian’s power structure."

"Lord Bossivale, among us who stand here, we are geniuses among the geniuses. But what about the ordinary people for whom igniting a Soul Fire is extremely difficult? What about those taboos with unstable souls and those affected by pollution? Do they have no other choice?"

"I believe that having another path is always beneficial. Perhaps among them, their own geniuses will emerge. Of course, one cannot force others to walk this path just to expand the power of Calier and Taboo Armament, especially with the Unawakened. They must not use civilians for experiments unless it’s irreversible, otherwise becoming an Unawakened is not allowed."

Megan and Ryanbeck’s expressions changed, showing both delight and worry.

But Rod had already spoken, and unless the King objected, there was no room for change.

Bossivale sighed: "Alright, maybe you are right."

The King looked at Rod, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

Rod continued: "Based on this foundation, I will provide you with resources, including Soul Residue, Soul Trait Blocks, Spirituality, and even some complete Monster Souls."

Their faces immediately lit up with joy. The resources they lacked were all soul resources, while regular basic materials were no longer in short supply.

The most scarce thing, in fact, is a complete Monster Soul.

With it, everything is possible.

The Great Priest Megan dusted off his clothes and bowed deeply to Rod: "Lord Rod, Calier’s Secret Troops pay you the highest respect. I will reciprocate your kindness with practical actions."

Ryanbeck’s facial muscles twitched, and he also said: "Lord Rod, please forgive my past biases against you. Mephit is entirely yours; we have no control over her at any time. We are always open to welcoming her. Likewise, Taboo Armament will repay your generosity with practical results."

The King stood up, smiling, and said:

"Then so be it, gentlemen, there is still much to do. The rise of Trolian and the revival of humanity still have a long path ahead of us that requires our efforts. Please return to your posts as soon as possible."

"Rod, quickly go to the Mechanical Research Institute, and once you’ve tested your Spiritual Energy, head to Great Dragon City. I can’t wait to see your majestic presence in battle."
