Chapter 351 The Battle of the Source (Part 1)(1/3)
The commanders looked at each other. They originally wanted Armando to use the authority of the First Elder to request support from the Royal City again.
The situation in Storm Castle has deteriorated to such an extent that it is impossible to reverse the situation with just one or two high-level combatants. Either an organized group of high-level combatants, special combatants, or the main army will be dispatched to help.

In their imagination, only these three ways can save Storm Castle.
But I didn’t expect His Excellency the First Elder to make such an unimaginable proposal.
Taro from Cloud Village is indeed one of the most dazzling rising stars in recent years. After graduating from Jinworth Academy, he went to fight in various places. He has gone through hundreds of battles and never failed. He has killed tens of thousands of monsters and has lifted many monsters.
There were countless crises. During the Black Tide period, the big bell tower alone guarded the Great Wall of the North, blocking the impact of countless corpses until the Black Tide ended.
After that, Taylor was officially awarded the title of "Great Sword". Many people called him "Little Alan" and hoped that he could grow into Trorian's second Alan in the future.
However, he is currently only a quasi-level combatant.
It is impossible to complete the task of eliminating the source of disaster in the Black Forest under such dangerous circumstances.
It is even more impossible for Mr. Armando to personally provide support.
Without his power, Storm Castle cannot stop so many giant terrors.
Once the remaining psychic cannons are destroyed, the castle can only be abandoned.
As for what Rhodes said, they pretended not to have heard it.
Iron Beard shouted: "First Elder, you can't do this! We'd better ask for support, the situation has exceeded our imagination."
Armando shook his head slightly: "There is no assistance."
"Why not?" Ironbeard glanced at Rhodes: "The crisis in the Trident River area has been resolved."
"Other areas need assistance more." Armando said calmly: "Our combat power is still very tight, and we are not rich enough to provide support to the same area for the third time."
"Yes, but..."
Iron Beard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his square face turned red.
"As soon as you leave, the giant terror will swamp us."
Armando said calmly: "With Rhodes and Xingge here, and more than a thousand elite soldiers in the castle, it won't be that easy."
Tie Xiu's entire face was wrinkled.
"Xingge is still young, and her fire is far less powerful than Lord Qingyu and Lord Jon. Although Rhodes has many abilities and a promising future, his current absolute psychic power is not strong enough to kill the giant terror alone...
…”
Rhodes said hurriedly: "That's right, let me go. The First Elder will stay and guard Storm Castle."
"No!" Ironbeard said decisively: "None of you can leave! The giant terror can only be easily killed with your cooperation. Now recall Tyro, we will defend the Storm Castle, and maybe we can hold on until the Royal City is free.
Rescue us."
A captain shouted: "Yes, this is the safest plan!"
"We don't take any risks."
"The royal city will not ignore us!"
"Shut up!"
Armando clapped his hand with one hand, and a wave of air shocked the entire audience, suppressing all sounds.
"I really want to open your brains and see what's going on inside. Do you think that I, the psychic cannon, Tyro, and Rhodes are all machines that will never wear out? There are tens of thousands of giant terrors outside.
There are more in the forest. If we don't eliminate the source, they will never end. How many can we eliminate? How long can we last?"
His cloudy eyes looked around.
Everyone lowered their eyes, no one dared to look at him.
"The oldest dogma of Trorian tells us that we should never fight a limited war of attrition with endless monsters. We don't know when the royal city will be free. If we stick here, it will be a dead end."
"This is not the safest solution, but the least stable solution."
The first elder's words completely shattered the commander and captains' luck.
They are fundamentally afraid of the Black Forest. They dare not venture into the Black Forest, let alone try to eliminate the unknown source of darkness in the Black Forest. They just want to stay in the light of the fire and wait for the arrival of the person who can solve all problems.
Iron Beard's face turned red, shame and fear emerged at the same time, and he muttered: "Yes, but if you leave, we won't be able to hold on any longer."
Rhodes said for the third time: "I'll go!"
Iron Beard glared at him: "You're going? How can you kill the giant terror if you go? Are we going to beat him and spray shit all over the ground again?"
Rhodes coughed: "You don't have to kill him, you just need to delay it for enough time... Mr. Armando can do this very well. The most important thing is that I have a fire that can send him to the enemy."
Open a portal where I have been."
"The teleportation gate is two-way. If we encounter danger, I can open the teleportation gate and teleport me and Taylor's team back."
"If we find the source of the disaster, we can also open the portal and let Mr. Armando come to support."
Everyone present widened their eyes.
Tie Xiu asked in disbelief: "Do you still have this ability?"
Rhodes smiled and said: "Of course, it's not written in my information?"
Armando glanced at him and said calmly: "It seems that you need to conduct a comprehensive examination again. Many places in your information are unclear. Your fire type's name is also very strange. The white turbidity...can't be seen.
It has nothing to do with spatial ability."
Rhodes did not argue that its name was [Spirit Boat], he was already used to it.
The portal is an ability obtained after [Spirit Boat] is quantified, and can only be used once a month.
The last time I used it was to steal something in the Royal City.
Sure enough, after Rhodes mentioned the ability of portal, his suggestion was approved without any doubt.
Ironbeard informed Taylor of the team's original target location and contact beacon, and gave him a few silent blank runes that could hide his aura.
Rhodes set off immediately.
Watching his figure flying out of the city, leaving the firelight and disappearing into the black mist, Armando didn't look back until he could no longer be seen.
He instinctively felt that the biggest change in Trolian in the past millennium was about to occur. Everything that had happened in recent years was unprecedented, and even in the long history, it was difficult to find similarities.
This year's hundreds of days of motionless stars is one of them, and it seems to herald some kind of ominous omen.
Past experience gradually became ineffective, and Armando felt a little powerless.
The only thing that can make him feel at ease is the endless emergence of new stars in recent years.
I hope.
Armando took one last look at the direction in which Rhodes was leaving.
You can hold up the future of mankind.

Under the boundless black fog, huge black shadows passed silently. Except for the faint rustling, there was no sound here.
If it was a year ago, Rhodes would probably be scared to death if he saw this scene.
But now, he just silently crossed them and rushed forward.
The silent blank rune greatly concealed his aura, preventing the monsters around him from noticing him, while the red tear stone helped him resist the erosion of the black mist and reduce the consumption of human nature.
Rhodes held the astrolabe in his hand and determined the direction according to its guidance.
It didn't take long for him to see the legendary black forest.
It was a large area of darkness. The entire forest seemed to have been burned by fire. It was pitch black. Thick black fog gathered in the forest. Countless black shadows were hidden in it, making the place look like a place of terror.
The place of death.
Rhodes did not hesitate and stepped directly into the forest.
The density of the black mist here was quite high, compressing his sight range to within five hundred yards.
But Rhodes' speed did not slow down, and he shuttled between the black trees like a phantom.
There were a lot of little terrors in the forest. Rhodes did not avoid them. He condensed a big sword with stardust, swung it wildly, and carved a path.
But if he encounters giant terrors, Rhodes will avoid them.
Not only are these creatures thick-skinned, but they also provide fewer and fewer souls. Killing them is a waste of time.
This is one of the reasons why Rhodes so strongly requests support for the team in the Black Forest.
At least there is a soul here.
The complex terrain in the forest did not affect Rhodes, and the little terrors everywhere did not slow down Rhodes' speed.
Rhodes's spiritual energy now exceeds 600 kilometres. It condenses into a dazzling sword light on the Stardust Great Sword, breaking through the little terror's psionic defense of less than 100 kilometres, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
