The two Ninth Order Civilizations were mobilizing in full force, and that was no simple matter, especially with both civilizations currently facing internal instability.
More importantly, the Nilkenia Super Galaxy Cluster had long been kept in check by Farn and had never launched any extragalactic campaigns. Preparing a massive expeditionary force therefore required far too many things. Without three to five years, it was simply impossible.
Of course, three to five years was nothing to civilizations that had existed for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. They might even consider that speed remarkably efficient.
In any case, under Rasty's orders, both Ninth Order Civilizations sprang into action.
After all, their usual military stockpiles were sufficient during peacetime. But once it came to a large-scale expedition, the weapons and resources stored by their civilizations were nowhere near enough.
Thus, Lawrence and Esek both issued civilization-wide war mobilization orders. Aside from the production capacity necessary to sustain daily life, all other production was redirected toward the expedition.
For a time, the already unstable internal situation of both civilizations seemed to grow even more turbulent.
Naturally, this had nothing to do with humanity for the time being. At that moment, Lin Fan was intensifying his preparations according to his plan.
Although humanity's current strength made destroying the insect race no difficult task, he had to ensure both controllable, low casualty rates and that no insects escaped from the Willster Super Galaxy Cluster.
That required thorough preparations. Otherwise, if Aliya escaped, the consequences would be endless.
Therefore, over the next decade, Lin Fan had to prepare defensive measures against Purgatory while also laying out the encirclement and extermination campaign against the insect race.
The first step was to station troops throughout the Viers Supercluster on a massive scale.
As for the reason,
