Da Lin smiled and said, "That's why we need to raise the Spirit's Curtain, condense the Black Fog Great Wall, and compress the long defensive line into a single point."

Horus nodded, "The Star Marrow Altar is the foundation of this plan. If it doesn't achieve the intended effect, the plan won't be implemented. We might only complete the western expansion and leave the south unchanged. In that case, the original defense circle won't change much, just needing a few additions."

Amendo gave him a glance.

"Archbishop, our high-end combat power is severely lacking, especially the top-tier forces."

"I've heard that in catastrophic weather, Quasi-King level monsters are almost as difficult to deal with as King level monsters. If it weren't for the three King Candidates advancing to Special Level combat power, the battle would almost be impossible to continue."

Horus nodded, "First Elder, you are right. The expansion war forces us to face more and stronger monsters, making Special Level combat power busier than before. Fortunately, we have Alan and Olivia."

Da Lin took a puff of his cigarette and smiled, "Troli's undefeated War God can only demonstrate his value in such an environment. And Olivia, after advancing to Monarch Level, has displayed extraordinary combat power. In the Battle of the Dead Land, she completely wiped out the demons and the Demon King hidden underground, relieving us of our greatest worry."

Dozens of Defense Chiefs said in unison, "Indeed, Lady Olivia is the moonlight of Troli!"

This sounds like another King level monster, and Olivia actually killed it alone... Rod felt pained, why didn't they bring me along?

Da Lin continued, "Alan killed the King of Night, cleared the Magic Forest, disrupted the Land of Eternal Winter, pierced through the Land of Despair, and led his Knight Order to break the Old Abyss. A single sword turned the battle three thousand miles, from south to north, from west to east, eliminating the greatest obstacles to expansion. Now, he's leading several rising stars to the Demon Wolf Forest."

Damn!

Rod clutched his chest, feeling worse.

If only I'd clung to Alan!

Afterward, Da Lin briefly described the achievements of each Special Level combatant. All achieved remarkable success, clearing large areas of filth that were previously untouchable, making Rod's blood boil, his heart ache, nearly causing him to faint.

But soon, Da Lin also listed the obstacles they would soon face, all the threats in expansion, the monster gather spots that need clearing, demon nests, Black Domain, ruins, and former human strongholds.

Just listening to the initial words, Rod thought humanity was already on the verge of victory.

But hearing the latter words, he felt the future path was long and arduous.

So many threats, so many obstacles, none of which wouldn't need Special Level combat power, some special places even requiring multiple Special Level combatants to work together.

They only have fifteen Special Level combatants in total, how long will it take to fight through?

Everyone present felt the heavy pressure. Troli urgently needs more Special Level combatants, more Commanders who can face the true darkness.

Amendo asked, "Archbishop, when can you take this step?"

Horus's face turned ashen, his tone filled with confusion:

"I don't know, the Bright Light Attribute is like an elusive shadow, I can't grasp its pattern to complete the final ascension."

"What about the Spiritual Woman Group?"

"All but one have reached the stage of First Level Combatants. Jessica, Wendy, and Evelyn are attacking Commander status, but without success yet."

"Our new stars?"

"Great Sword Tai Luo just obtained a Light Stone, a Divine Artifact of the Light Attribute. He's in seclusion at the Fire Church, and barring any surprises, should complete his ascension. Solar Warrior Raki is still struggling, and others haven't advanced to Commander status yet."

"The Guardians?"

"All three King Candidates and Guardians have completed their ascensions, but Xingge still frequently falls into deep comas and cannot fight for long. Apart from that, Guardian Qiuqie'er is working towards Commander status."

"Silver Oath, Taboo Armament, Mechanical Research Institute, Calier's secret forces?"

"The Twin Stars, Twin Goddesses, still haven't found a way to ascend. Spirit Bearers may never take that step. Among the Taboo, aside from Mephit, most people's ascensions failed, not reaching the ranks of high rank combatants."

"In Calier's secret forces, Brittania's Annie failed in evolution, but Great Priest Megan's experiment made significant progress, skyrocketing the number of First Level-like combatants to 31."

"As for the Mechanical Research Institute, the new Spiritual Power Cannon is stabilizing in mass production. Amides is studying the Royal City's Spiritual Power Railgun, hoping to replicate it. Scholar Ward and others have invented a new type of light No. 59 Mechanical Body. Its combat power lies between Third and Fourth Level combatants, but can be mass-produced at low cost."

The King said with slight sadness; "Our growth seems to have slowed."

Horus said, "We need Star Source, Starry Sky City has already given up, stocks are exhausted, the last Star Source Potion was given to Tai Luo."

The two logistics chiefs, Hullen and Feng shouted; "We cannot lose Star Source, just as humanity cannot be without fire!"

The King asked, "Any news from Horror Castle?"
