"Commanders, ensure the management and training of the legion, and follow Dalin's orders."

The commanders knelt on the ground: "Yes, my Majesty!"

Only after the King had issued all orders did the First Elder Amendo speak up with a question:

"Your Majesty, in the face of such a great disaster, is it not unwise for us to pursue aggressive expansion?"

The King replied sternly, "Amendo, it's precisely because we face such a disaster that we must expand more quickly. Only through expansion can we acquire more land, more resources, and more food. It's the only way we can gather more brothers and sisters and seize that slim chance of survival amid catastrophe."

Amendo bowed, "I understand. Your decision is wise, Your Majesty. No one will oppose it, and every elder will loyally carry out the King's orders."

The King's nod was slight, indicating that Amendo understood this reasoning.

He raised the question only to ensure the Council's unity.

"Finally, we must do everything to ascertain when and what type of disaster will occur, and seek the ancient secrets and clues about Royeger."

"Jinwoosi Society, take the lead in organizing various academies to study this issue."

"Great Book Library, increase manpower to search for clues in ancient texts."

"Increase resource investment in these researches, rising more than 20 times."

Horus slightly bowed, "Leave this matter to me."

The King continued, "The exploration of the Dark World must also increase; we need to find more clues about the Ancient Gods."

"Inform Liszt that the search for other Fire King Cities must also be accelerated."

Horus nodded slightly, knowing that Commander Liszt of the Investigation Legion was the only absent one.

He was currently exploring in the extremely distant darkness, unable to return to the Royal City.

Luo Weiya sighed, "If only we could find other human survivors, everyone could work together to fight against the disaster."

These words struck a chord with many.

When facing immense catastrophes, having companions to assist and fight side by side is far better than Troli battling alone.

Moreover, if other human survivors indeed exist, it means Troli is not the only surviving seedling.

The fear of the Black Fog would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

The King stated calmly, "Regardless, the strength of Troli is most important. Horus, what is our current status?"

Without hesitation, Horus replied:

"In the past month, we've added over 900 high-rank combatants, more than 10,000 middle-rank combatants, nearly 30,000 low-rank combatants, and over 60,000 new recruits."

"Among them, 50 were added as First Level Combatants, 200 as Second Level Combatants, 650 as Third Level Combatants. The Guardian number increased by 11, ten times last year and the highest in nearly two centuries."

In the Sacrificial Altar rose a choir of gasps.

Commander Lothar joyously exclaimed, "We are strong!"

"Not just that."

Horus continued.

"We have added four Special Level Combatants: Qingyu, Jon, Xingge, and Rod."

"However, Xingge is still in a coma, and Rod has not yet officially entered the domain of Commanders."

"Fortunately, Olivia has advanced to the Monarch Level, the first in Troli in nearly a century besides the King."

"Additionally, Jessica of the Spiritual Woman Group, Wendy, Evelyn, Guardian Qiuqie'er, the Solar warrior Raki, the Great Sword Tai Luo, and I, are all striving to break into the Commanders' domain."

"With the Silver Oath and Taboo Armament, Twin Stars, Twin Goddesses have also made great progress, and the Taboo Mephit has shown growth as well."

"In Calier's covert operations, Brittania's Annie has undergone further enhancement, with combat ability approximately at half a Commander. Great Priest Megan has created more Taboo Warriors, including 300 of high-rank strength and 11 at First Level Combat Power."

"In the Mechanical Research Institute, under the efforts of High Scholar Amides, massive new-style Spiritual Power Cannons are in mass production, and High Scholar Ward and Researcher Mina have completed the No. 59 mechanical body, finally designated as No. 99, with combat capabilities above that of a Guardian, roughly approaching a Commander in some cases, though flawed, only three have been completed so far."

Before anyone could smile, Horus added.

"However, despite the rapid growth in combat strength, the Star Source Potion is down to its last batch, and the source of Star Source is lost. Once depleted, such growth speed cannot be maintained."

Luo Weiya shouted, "How can this be? We must hurry to the Horror Castle! The Star Source must not be cut off!"

Jon immediately echoed, "This is the key to the Trolian Kingdom's power growth! We cannot lose the Star Source."

He had personally experienced the potency of the Star Source Potion. His advancement to Commander, along with Qingyu and Xingge, relied heavily on the Star Source besides Rod's help.

Horus solemnly stated, "The Star Source indeed is crucial, but the strength of Holy Fire is equally important. We need more Firewood, more Fuel Element. Our material resources are even scarcer. The Sun Crystal, high-purity Sun Stone, Moon Stone, Star Marrow, high-quality Spirit Crystal Ore, Red Stone, Star Light Ruby, and other Spiritual Minerals are all in critically short supply."
