Chapter 651: Chapter 384 Mushroom City and Starlight Fragment (First Update)

Royal City.

Military War Department.

When the news of Star City’s victory arrived, the entire Military War Department was plunged into jubilation.

Everyone was cheering, hugging, and even kissing each other without regard to gender.

Star City had been everyone’s nightmare.

Initially, they thought it could be conquered in four weeks.

After four weeks, they discovered more darkness underground, so they thought ten weeks would suffice.

After ten weeks, they found there were more than three levels of dungeons underground, so another ten weeks were added.

Thus, ten weeks after ten weeks, month after month passed.

At its peak, it even tied down nearly a third of Trolian’s regular combat power.

Everyone regretted the rash attack on Star City, yet they all dreamed of the victory that would follow its capture.

Yet they never expected that day would actually come.

The Defense Chiefs immediately sprang into action.

With Star City as a pivot, they could engage in war on two fronts simultaneously, greatly accelerating their progress.

In the Fire Hall, Dalin saw the hope of fulfilling the agreement.

Amendo’s demands were stringent, but if truly fulfilled, the success rate of the Holy Fire plan would undoubtedly increase significantly.

In some ways, this turned out to be a good thing.

Dalin revealed a slight smile, which quickly disappeared.

For now, after capturing Star City, the situation of the war had improved a lot from the beginning, but it was still fraught with difficulties.

The biggest problem was—the upcoming battle at Storm Pass.

The attack on Storm Pass was an absolute tough fight; Trolian had to utilize its real trump card, the Royal City had to muster a Core Level main force legion, and use one decisive battle to take down Storm Pass.

The preparations needed for this decisive battle were not much less than the battle itself.

The boundless Black Fog enveloped Dark World was immense, filled with countless terrors, the larger the scale of the battle, the greater the disturbance it would cause, ultimately; who knew what it would alarm or awaken.

Having survived in the Dark Epoch for over a thousand years, Trolian was very aware of the risks of war and the rules of survival; they rarely expanded the war, especially reluctant to deploy a Core Level main force legion.

Even though the large-scale battle formation connected by Spiritual Energy was immensely powerful.

They knew well that, in front of the true darkness, even the most powerful forces were insignificant, and disturbing it would bring more monsters, infinitely expanding the battle and the disturbances.

The ultimate outcome would be everyone being overwhelmed by darkness.

This was also why the Elder Council initially strongly opposed the King’s expansion plans and even more strongly opposed the Holy Fire plan.

But unexpectedly, the First Elder miraculously agreed to it.

Though conditionally, the mere agreement itself was a miracle.

The expansion war had led to very clear negative consequences by now, far exceeding expectations. Every part of Trolian faced a massive crisis; they were short of personnel, lacking in combat power, and the various threats caused by disturbances compounded, creating all the difficulties they currently faced.

Given Dalin’s understanding of the Elder Council, they would absolutely not agree to the Holy Fire plan, which was crazier than the expansion plan.

But for some reason, Amendo had overruled the majority opinion and made a thirty-day agreement with the King.

Perhaps the King’s unique charm persuaded Amendo, letting him see a glimpse of victory.

Dalin thought.

But no matter what the truth was, this was a very hard-earned opportunity.

He clenched his fists, the Divine Light twinkling in his eyes.

No matter what, even if I have to sacrifice everything, I must seize it!

Rod’s objective was now very clear, and that was Divinity.

All things must give way to Divinity.

During the Star Flash period, apart from Divinity, he would consider no other issues.

And the place most likely to find Divinity was undoubtedly the Fire Hall.

It was Trolian’s last line of defense, the epicenter of the most severe crises.

Trolian’s top combat power was all mobilized here.

Only here could Rod find the tasks with the most Divinity.

Because of his special status, the operations command room was completely accessible to him.

Except for the topmost level of combat power, Rod knew all the battle arrangements, as the operations command room was completely unguarded against him.

Hence, the Book of Knowledge could quickly compare each task and find those with the most Divinity and highest efficiency.

This privilege of selecting his own tasks was unique to Rod.

It had proven that Rod not only had the ability to create miracles but also possessed a unique strategic vision—the Military War Department even noticed the somewhat informal words from Lothar, and the proposal for him to take up the role of a Commander was seriously discussed for a moment.

Rod was initially tempted, but the Book of Knowledge told him that he was not suitable to become a Commander right now.

A Commander was not just a leader; he also had to be responsible for everything about the legion, and constructing a legion was a very lengthy process, which didn’t suit his current goals.

Directly solving crises was still the most efficient method at the moment.

Moreover, his opportunities were now numerous.

The occupation of Star City had not eased the human situation; on the contrary, it had made it even more tense.

Whether it was the Fire Hall or the Military War Department, both were frantically accelerating their efforts to push forward, striving to expand the Trolian boundary line up to Storm Pass as soon as possible.
