Generally speaking, in the Defense Departnt, there is often information transmitted to and from various places. The Trolian communication thods are nurous, with the Spirit Crow ssenger being just one of them. They also have Spiritual Power Equipnt similar to fax machines, as well as instant communication tools like wireless telephones.
However, the forr seems to be more expensive and is used less frequently.
The latter has a very short communication distance, approximately only about one thousand yards.
Because Rod had frequented the Defense Departnt, he had finally completely figured out so of the commonly used terms there. They particularly liked to use steps and yards as units of distance—one step equates to the distance of a normal adult (excluding dwarves) taking a small step, which is about one-third of a ter, and one yard is three steps, almost equivalent to one ter.
One thousand yards is about one thousand ters. This communication distance is even shorter than that of a walkie-talkie and is also subject to interference from the Black Fog; communication is impossible through it.
Therefore, what the Defense Departnt receives most often are either ssages from the Spirit Crow ssenger or intelligence directly delivered by intelligence officers.
They distribute the information provided by the Royal City’s Military War Departnt to each Defense Departnt in various locations.
This is also sothing Rod had only recently figured out.
The Military War Departnt is a powerful departnt responsible for all matters of warfare. Each defense area has a Military War Departnt, which oversees many Defense Departnts in charge of different regions within the defense area.
The leader of each Military War Departnt is a Guardian, but ordinary matters are managed by the General Defense Director.
Above the Military War Departnts of the major defense areas lies the General Military Departnt, existing as the central brain.
The highest authority of the General Military Departnt is the King, but regular matters are handled by the first Defense Chief.
The Royal City’s Military War Departnt is the war institution responsible for the defense sector of Royal City and is the largest Military War Departnt out of all regions. It compiles information about Royal City every day and passes it on to the Defense Departnts of each district.
In the past, Rod often heard about Doomsday believers attacking residents or institutions in certain districts, but in the last few days, there had been no news about them at all.
Scarface was very anxious about this, but Rod did not care. After all, these Doomsday believers were weaklings in his eyes. Once he had fard enough in the sewers and killed the invaders, he would turn back to settle accounts with them, and by the way, crack the migration case that had plagued him for a long ti.
After finding the real culprit, he would surely make them eat a few mouthfuls of excrent to vent his hatred, then kill them off and completely resolve the matter.
——
During this period, Rod received a considerable amount of Humanity every day, peaking at over one hundred points and usually around fifty to sixty points.
Together with what he fard from the tavern, it didn’t take long before he had made all twenty Soul Ashes.
Now, if he were to play all his cards, he could summon five Mutated Demon Spiders, a Warhound of the Dead, fourteen Poison Insects, and one Phantom of Dean Theodore.
This Phantom of Theodore was his most astonishing discovery.
He had initially thought it would be a ranged combatant like Nightwing, but to his surprise, when he summoned it in a mont of crisis, the Phantom grabbed a large club and charged into the throng of rats.
It swung wildly as if it were a War God, and in the blink of an eye, it had knocked nearly fifty plague rats dead.
Rod was astounded.
Is this seriously a mage?
"Spell Talent" is the innate talent for casting spells, right? So why is the Phantom you created with your Soul Fragnts a warrior?
And so strong!
This is just aweso!
Rod’s face almost burst into bloom with a smile. Had he known it was this fierce, he would have gone directly into the depths of the sewers for a big fight.
Of course, Theodore had told him that this Phantom was only as strong as a comparatively strong Mature Level monster, and far from invincible.
But since it was lee, it was much easier to coordinate with.
You hold the front, I’ll shoot wildly from the back.
With so many summons, even if it took a while, they could wear the invaders down to death.
——
And so, Rod kept on killing until the last day before the invasion, when the Defense Departnt’s Sewer Cleaning Office could no longer find a task for him; the clerical staff were in tears.
Scarface kept urging Rod to rest for a day, saying that prolonged battles were unhealthy for the body, mind, and soul. Overuse of power and frequent battles with twisted things could make one twisted as well.
Adequate rest and relaxation were essential.
Rod accepted the advice but ignored Scarface’s hint for him to find a girl to chat with and sleep with, to feel the warmth and beauty of the human world.
Instead, he went straight back to the tavern, closed the door to his room, and entered the Dream Realm.
In the Dream Realm.
Rod looked up and the first thing he saw were the densely packed Soul Fires hovering above the Soul Altar.
These were his battle achievents from that period.
With a single thought, he gained access to their information.
"Mad Sinner’s Souls," 121 "Plague Rat Souls," 95 "Face-Hugging Poison Insect Souls," 61 "Maggot Man’s Souls," 50 "Corpse Fly Souls."
There were also 331 "Small Soul Fragnts," 166 "Large Soul Fragnts," and 27 human souls.
Rod imdiately sacrificed all the "Small Soul Fragnts" and "Large Soul Fragnts," obtaining 15,110 Soul Without Spirit, and 61 Spirituality.
That was not bad, as the main use of these Soul Fragnts was to break them down into Soul Without Spirit and Spirituality.
Rod glanced at his data, which now showed:
Soul Strength: 140
Soul Star: 2
Humanity: 609
Divinity: 45
Soul Without Spirit: 16,922
In storage, he had another 101 Spirituality, 15 Humanity, one Flower of Humanity, 12 active Spirituality, 4 Madness Traits, and so
