The Last King Of Darkness

"It will happen soon."

Qingyu then smiled, "That’s great, as long as we can have a few more Primordial powerhouses, the pressure on the Royal City will be much less."

The Great Shepherd Leader also said, "Our new strength is growing rapidly. If everything goes smoothly, it is estimated that within a month, our Half King count will break through 10,000, and the Monarch count will break through 500,000. In this way, not only do we have more powerful combat strength, but also sufficient [Source Carriers], to support the emergence of more Primordial powerhouses."

Rod nodded, he had already thought this through. He must establish a sufficiently stable defensive force for Trolian before entering the Abyss. If he could reignite his remaining three Stars during this period, that would be even better.

pieces of the Primordial Law were considered quite formidable even among the Primordial powerhouses.

"Since the matter is settled, then prepare for battle," Rod said, "I will enter the battlefield, 11 pieces of the Primordial Law, 275 Divine Power inscriptions, enough to hold off one direction on the battlefield. I will do my best to exert my strength and let more warriors return to the Royal City. Great Shepherd Leader, all matters related to enhancing combat strength are entrusted to you."

The Great Shepherd Leader said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, Lord Rod, Emperor Qingyu, I will arrange the rotation of personnel with Bossivale, doing our utmost to increase our strength."

Rod was about to speak when the light of the Holy Fire suddenly shone, and a ball of flame flew out and landed in front of Qingyu. It was a message based on the Fire Blessing, indicating some important event had happened on the front line. The hearts of everyone present sank; communications at this time usually weren’t good news. Could something bad have happened again?

Qingyu reached out, touched it lightly, and the flame dissipated instantly. The message appeared before her eyes, and her expression became very complex. After a few seconds of silence, she finally spoke under the anxious gazes of the Great Shepherd Leader and Rod.

"Alan sent a message."

"In the east, Klitte Canyon, Sharp Stone Plain, Gravel Plain, Lou Stone Mountain, Old Fort, Blade Ridge, and Dark Basin have all been occupied, the defensive line established, the planned expansion has been completed. Request the Royal City to reset the Spirit Barrier and include this expansion area within the protection scope, and send people to establish a base, ignite the Fire Spark, and reignite the Guardian Fire."

As soon as the words fell, the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground was plunged into prolonged silence.

Rod saw the shock in the eyes of both the Great Shepherd Leader and Qingyu, and he too was incredulous. After recovering his strength, Alan immediately went to the eastern front to oversee the Great Shepherd Leader’s expansion plan. This was a desperate act to accommodate the last 3 billion humans in the face of the impending Black Fog Tide, a behavior akin to suicide, even the Great Shepherd Leader was ready to retreat at any time.

No one expected that with the Black Fog Tide approaching, Alan would complete the expansion.

Rod immediately realized that he must expand the barrier immediately, as Alan and his warriors were fighting outside the barrier. If he did not expand the Spirit Barrier in time, the Black Fog Tide would drown all of Alan’s achievements.

However, expanding the barrier would mean the entire Spirit Barrier would bring greater pressure to the Royal City, while the rift in the Spirit Barrier would also have to expand again.

Qingyu asked softly, "Can the Royal City withstand it?"

The Great Shepherd Leader opened his mouth; he wanted to say yes, but as the Great Shepherd Leader of Saint Longde, his absolute rationality stopped him from uttering those words. His expansion plan was strictly devised according to human survival needs and did not realistically expect to be fully achieved. If Trolian included this expanded space entirely in the territory, the overall size would increase by at least one-fifth, and the Black Fog intensity in front of the Royal City might reach the Eighth Level.

At that time, with the Third Rank Holy Fire, they would be fighting against Eighth Level Black Fog; the fire’s range would shrink, the gaps without fire would increase, and battlefield pressure would reach an unprecedented level.

Rod thought the same, but if not extended, should it be given up in vain?

Everyone hesitated; no decision could surpass the obstacles in their hearts.

At this moment, the puppet in the Dream Realm suddenly spoke.

"Master, you can expand the Spirit Barrier."

Rod was taken aback, "Then how can the Royal City withstand it? The area of the rift would also far exceed the Royal City, exposing large areas without the protection of the Holy Fire, the black tide will rush towards Trolian with ten times its current power."

The puppet calmly answered, "Master, you can solve this problem."

Rod frowned slightly, I can resolve it?

Almost immediately, he thought of the reignited Stars.

Which one?

Rod’s gaze swept over all the Stars, finally settling on one of them.

Almost in an instant, Rod understood, he immediately flew up and rushed to the bottom of the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

"Reply to Alan, the Spirit Barrier will soon cover the Klitte Canyon and Dark Basin area, all warriors prepare to clear any monsters included within the barrier."

The Great Shepherd Leader exclaimed, "Lord Rod, what about the Royal City?"

"I will act."

The Great Shepherd Leader’s body trembled, had no time to ask in detail. Rod’s figure was already gone, and Qingyu had already sent the reply out.
