The Star Alliance has established space corridors leading to the Dragon Forest in each city-state.

Numerous space corridors have connected the vast territories of the Star Alliance, making both material transport and troop movements exceptionally swift.

On the day the battle in Tarren City ended, the corpses of the Spider-Elves were delivered to Sunan’s laboratory.

After some effort, Sunan successfully extracted divinity energy from the corpses.

"Eight standard units of divinity energy, much more than the Deathknell Striker and the multi-winged creatures."

Sunan’s face showed a satisfied smile.

After all, these were divine creatures, and the amount of divinity energy within them far exceeded that of ordinary divine beings.

The only downside is that it’s a one-time transaction, unlike the sustainable extraction from the Deathknell Striker and multi-winged creatures.

It’s a trade-off.

After the initial joy, Sunan immediately synthesized the divinity energy, purified the faith pollution, and then absorbed it at the first opportunity.

After digesting the divinity energy, he opened the panel and found that his Spiritual Refinement Level increased by 0.66%.

"Not bad, it’s roughly equivalent to the gains from over two years of training."

Sunan’s lips curled with a trace of a smile.

If each Spider-Elf could offer roughly the same yield, his speed in enhancing his Spiritual Refinement Level would undoubtedly accelerate significantly.

"It seems there’s no hurry to conquer Magic Spider City."

Ever since hearing news about the Spider-Elves, Sunan had a vague idea of ’sustainable development’.

Now that it is confirmed that the Spider-Elves have a significant effect on enhancing the Spiritual Refinement Level, this idea can be put into action.

Since the Spider Goddess Queen specifically sent him supplements, it would be impolite to refuse.

He might as well treat Magic Spider City as a treasure trove that can continuously produce divinity energy for ongoing harvesting.

Back in the study, Sunan immediately summoned Carolina.

"Send the order to pressure the Dark Elves, maximize their war potential, but do not conquer Magic Spider City."

"Also, whenever you encounter Spider-Elves, ensure to leave their corpses intact and send them to the laboratory promptly."

Carolina froze for a moment, puzzled.

Exerting pressure but not conquering Magic Spider City, why is that?

Upon hearing the latter part, the clever Human-faced Lion Nobility suddenly realized and felt a bit of pity for Magic Spider City.

"It’s treated as a resource point by the master."

"Yes, Master," Carolina replied respectfully.

"Where’s the Red Widow?" Sunan then asked.

"The First Legion’s frontline has already advanced to the border of the Northwest Domain. Lord Cole has requested material support, and the Red Widow is currently coordinating the logistics over there," Carolina replied.

After expansion, the Star Alliance now has two medium-sized Golem Legions named the First Legion and the Second Legion, led respectively by Cole and Ethan, Sherman, and Attila.

The former is advancing towards the Northwest Domain, while the latter is progressing towards Magic Spider City.

Now, the First Legion has essentially cleared the native forces in the area bordering the Southeast and Northwest Domains, officially advancing the battlefield into the Northwest Domain.

In other words, the entire Southeast Domain of the underground world, except for Magic Spider City, is already under the control of the Star Alliance.

For millennia, such a massive force has never appeared in the underground world.

Even Sunan has heard that the city-states on the Northwest Domain seem to have united to resist the Star Alliance.

"What is the situation in the Northwest Domain now?" Sunan asked.

Caleron replied respectfully, "Most city-states in the Northwest Domain have united to form an alliance, and they’ve named it the Fallen Star Alliance."

Fallen Star Alliance?

Sunan’s expression turned strange but soon returned to normal, thinking for a moment, he said, "Temporarily focus the war efforts on the Northwest Domain, while Magic Spider City can wait."

Since deciding not to conquer Magic Spider City for now, it is not necessary to station too many troops there, and the focus can shift towards the Northwest Domain, to resolve the supposed Fallen Star Alliance first.

"Yes, Master,"

Carolina complied and withdrew.

...

Sherman and Attila soon received Sunan’s orders.

The two looked at the words on the parchment, eye to eye.

"Is this a siege without killing?" Attila was full of confusion, "Why do it this way?"

Sherman pondered thoughtfully, saying, "It likely has to do with the Spider-Elves, perhaps the Spider-Elves are very important to the teacher, and he hopes to obtain as many Spider-Elf corpses as possible."

"In that case, wouldn’t conquering Magic Spider City and directly killing all Spider-Elves be better?" Attila said.

The two were unaware of the Spider-Elves’ birth process, so they fundamentally did not understand the meaning behind this command.

Fortunately, they didn’t need to understand either.

"Since it’s the teacher’s order, we just follow it."

Sherman took out the military map and spread it on the table.

This is a map of the Southeast Domain of the underground world.

The Star Alliance deployed considerable manpower and resources to produce such a detailed and complete military map of the Southeast Domain.

In the Star Alliance’s expansion activities, this map played a significant role.

The map used colors to distinguish between two areas, representing the territories of the Star Alliance and the Dark Elves respectively.

In comparison to the vast territory of the Star Alliance, the Dark Elves’ land only occupies a small corner.

Sherman drew a circle around the outskirts of the Dark Elves’ territory and said:

"While we can’t conquer Magic Spider City, we can first capture the surrounding city-states, which can reduce the pressure we face next and make the Dark Elves feel a greater sense of crisis."

Attila recalled the part of the teacher’s order about ’exploiting the war potential of the Dark Elves’ and nodded in agreement.
