Chapter 676 Trading
"It's still a little unacceptable, maybe I'm outdated-"
Prometheus smiled bitterly and looked thoughtful: "But Your Majesty, you said that they will be the foundation of our god system in the future, are you ready to continue to invest in biogenesis?"
"The foundation of our divine system is too thin, my God of Prophets. To make up for this, one is the Magic Armor that Anthony is hosting, and I'm trying to find a way to get the mechanical technology of the 'Terra Empire' to speed up the development of the Magic Armor, and the other is the Bio-Breeding Suit. We have already thoroughly understood the technology of the Moshra, but the technology they have mastered is not enough for us to gain a firm foothold in this world, we must continue to develop further on their basis, it just so happens that the genes of these Blood Feast Demon Worms are very interesting, and it will be a good breakthrough direction. β
Li Mochen's eyes flashed: "But if you want to study more powerful biocolonization, it will definitely touch the realm of the gods, and you will also need a large number of professionals." β
Prometheus already understood what he was thinking: "So this dooms these scholars to lack reverence for the gods, so you want to form a 'deal' relationship with them?"
"Rather than using these scholars as tools to control, it is better to treat them as objects of trade. Although the effort will be a little larger, it will avoid possible backlash in the future and will allow them to invest more enthusiasm in their research. What do you think?"
When Li Mochen said this, his expression was slightly condensed.
This is because in the interior of that desert world, there are dozens of sound patterns and divine thoughts revealed. The soundprints are almost ultrasound, and humans can't hear them. But that divine thought was majestic and majestic, with monstrous anger.
As they had expected, the lords and worm mothers finally discovered the anomaly, and then searched the outer lands with rage, using their divine thoughts to sweep back and forth in the void.
But in the end, these lords and insect mothers gained nothing, and Li Mochen's hidden ability was far beyond their capabilities. The two of them stood in the void, surrounded by a temporal barrier, so that the most powerful of these demon insects could not sense the two of them at an extremely close distance of a thousand kilometers.
"Patrick's research is right, these Blood Feast Demon Worms should be imperfect creations. These mothers of theirs have great deficiencies in some abilities. β
Prometheus looked coldly ahead, watching the more than 100 demon insects with bodies only two to three times larger than normal humans, but covered in insect armor, scurrying around in the void.
Before the middle god rank, the stronger the strength of these demon insects, the larger their bodies became, but after the ninth godhead, the situation was reversed, the stronger their strength, the smaller their bodies.
And those insect mothers, although they have incomparably large bodies. However, their secondary body is only the size of a normal human, and this secondary body can move independently from the main body, which is also their main combat ability.
There were seven of the parent worm counterparts that entered the outer realms of the Void to search, and they occasionally approached the location where they had stood. But when they were close to 10,000 kilometers, they were guided away by Li Mochen's power.
The theocracy, called 'Fate', does not allow them to approach this place.
In Prometheus's opinion, this is where they fall short. Their divine thoughts are very powerful, but they are very dull and stiff - if they were at the normal god-king level, they would never be tricked by his lord like this.
Of course, this deficiency is actually not a fatal flaw. When it comes to actually entering the fight, they are very difficult to exploit.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these insect mothers is still genuine.
"There are no perfect creatures in this world, Prometheus. At this point, it's already terrifying, and it's hard to improve it. If it were me, I wouldn't have made them stronger. As tools, they are sharp enough to hurt their hands. β
Li Mochen commented casually, his mind was always taking care of the interior of the desert world.
Two hours after the plan began, the demon insects inside the desert world had already died in large numbers. This is due to the more virulent 'Punishment Type 2' and 'Punishment Type 4', and at the same time, the 'Punishment Type 3' virus is also spreading among them.
The hygiene of the demon insects is worrying, and the nest where they live is itself 'alive'. The interior is filled with various biological fluids, which not only contain many spores, but also serve as food for the demon insects. It was something like a nutrient solution, which allowed the demon worm to maintain a minimum nutrient intake, and at the same time, it was also concumulating those spores into the demon worm larvae.
In this environment, it is simply a paradise for viruses to breed wildly. In just two hours, the 'Punishment Type 3' virus that Li Mochen sensed was already ubiquitous.
Then when the seven hours came, the worms began to die in pieces.
At the same time, Li Mochen also sensed that his 'Divine Spirit Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda' was constantly trembling. The power of merit gathered outside the tower began to grow explosively.
Li Mochen was not surprised, he knew that this was not a gift from the will of the world to him, and the 'providence' of those worlds was not so smart. This is merit, but it is only because of what he is doing now that he has leveraged cause and effect.
If these zergs are allowed to enter the bright world, Li Mochen may gain more. But he obviously wouldn't do that, and his divinity wouldn't allow it.
The catastrophe of the 'Blood Feast Demon Worm' lasted for nine days, and after two hundred and ten hours, the spread of the virus began to slow down on a large scale.
Those lords have been able to accurately identify the uninfected demon worms, and have implemented extremely strict isolation and supervision. Then the nests are incinerated and almost all the nests are destroyed, which effectively reduces the spread of the virus.
By the 234th hour, all three types of viruses had been completely contained. But their results were crazy enough. Nearly ninety out of five of the low-level demon worms died from virus infection, and even those high-level demon worms also had a large-scale death due to the accidental ingestion of poisonous insect corpses in the initial time period.
Nearly eighty-two percent of the hives were destroyedβthe ships that the Blood Feast Worms were preparing to use to cross the Void.
Only the demon insects and insect hives under the noses of those lords were preserved, and at this time, the entire 'Blood Banquet Demon Worms' group was weakened by at least three to fifty percent of their strength.
Li Mochen expected that soon, more mid- and high-level demon insects would die. Not because of the virus, but because of hunger.
As Carlson said, those low-level demon worms are actually more used as food. And the characteristics of the Blood Feast Demon Worm make it impossible for them to survive by absorbing magic energy alone.
At this time, the merits on the 'Shenxiao Lingyun Purple Gold Pagoda' swelled to 5.2 billion. Unfortunately, this is still a big gap from the fifth 'Purple Qi of Merit'.
But Li Mochen saw a little hope, the previous figure of 8.1 billion merits made him daunting, and now, the remaining 2.9 billion did not seem to be an unattainable moat.
He now earns as much as 12 million merits per day, and if he doesn't use it now, he can reach the fifth 'merit purple qi' requirement after more than half a year.
Of course Li Mochen would not do this, only in terms of the rate of return, he invested in himself, and the merits of Angela and the others undoubtedly had more returns.
Therefore, the premise of condensing the 'Meritorious Purple Qi' is only if it does not affect their cultivation progress.
Butβ
"Let's go back, Prometheus. β
Li Mochen tugged at Prometheus's arm, and then made another 'jump', and returned to the magic tower of his destiny.
Before leaving, Li Mochen finally stared at the depths of the desert world.
His 'jump' was not without traces, and it was also accurately felt by a certain insect mother of those 'Blood Feast Demon Worms'.
In the moments when he was gone, the worm mother was trying to lock up his and Prometheus' souls with all her might, remembering their divine powers. At the same time, a total of thirteen extremely cold eyes were staring at them.
It can be seen that the top-level power of these Blood Banquet Demon Worms is still very strong, if it weren't for Li Mochen's speed of leaving fast enough, he would almost be succeeded by that godhead twenty worm mother.
I really don't know which of the Most High God's creatures it is, and for what purpose did it come to this?
With this doubt, Li Mochen returned to the Magic Tower of the Land of Destiny.
"Actually, you can't hide them for long, and the only thing that can hit them in this way around here is the Bright World. β
Prometheus laughed bitterly: "They will keep looking, and then our enemies will be happy to see us in trouble." β
"If they come in this way, it's actually a good thing, and I'm looking forward to it. β
Li Mochen smiled absently, and then left his kingdom again.
He didn't tell a lie, the arrival of a strong enemy in the outer realm would make the world will of the bright world shift to the resistors to the greatest extent. This would also greatly affect the attitude of the original gods such as Gaia, even Zeus and Odin could not ignore it. And the suspension of the civil war, the result of unanimity to the outside world can be imagined.
For the Heavenly Mandate God Department, every day of growth can be stronger.
If it weren't for his long-standing moral concept and the gradually solidified 'divinity', Li Mochen might have directly introduced those Blood Banquet Demon Worms into the Light World - this would have been of too much benefit to him.
Li Mochen left the Kingdom of God this time, and he didn't use the divine power of jumping anymore, and there was no need to be inside the Bright World. With his mind in mind, he changed his horizon in front of him.
ββThis is the Huaguo zone, at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.
And at the same moment, a goddess also flashed in an instant, appearing in front of Li Mochen's eyes.
"Long time no see, Your Highness Isis. β
Li Mochen looked at the Holy Mother of Light in front of him, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised: "I have to say, Your Highness, you really have extraordinary courage." β
Isis replied with a calm face: "This is not your territory, I guess Your Majesty, you don't want to embarrass the master here?"
"If you're willing to pay a little bit, you can. The temptation to cut off Horus's most important arm and brain is simply irresistible to me, and I'm sure you haven't fully recovered from your previous injuries, and this is the perfect time to kill you. β
Although Li Mochen said this, his expression became serious: "Tell me, why did you invite me here? Let me guess, it's your child, the Lord of Radiance has a problem?"
Isis heard the words but did not answer immediately, her face was gloomy, and her eyes stared at Li Mochen coldly.
"That's easy to guess, isn't it? If Horus had no problem with him, then you should have come to me a long time ago. β
Li Mochen smiled slightly, not caring about Isis's sword-like gaze.
"In the current situation, as long as the two of us join forces, the two supreme gods can be directly locked. With your wisdom, you won't lose sight of this, and you'll not be so stupid as to give up a World Protonucleus. I've been waiting for you in the Land of Destiny for a long time, Your Highness Isis, but you haven't come to me. β
"You're right. β
Isis took a deep breath: "If it were a normal situation, I would have facilitated your alliance with Horus half a year ago, and all disputes in the Bright World would be over." But now something is wrong, Horus, Lord of Radiance, he has a little problem, and I need your help. β
"Help? Help doesn't come without a price. β
Li Mochen's eyes condensed slightly: "But you can talk about it first, what is the situation?"
"I guess it's another Horus, Horus of the Terra Empire, the god of the Shadow Moon Wolf, and he's having a problem with himself-"
Isis paused: "Your Majesty, you may find it hard to believe that the rebellion of the Church of Light in Southern America was the result of his own divine decree. β
Li Mochen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then fell into contemplation: "I want to know, did he agree to the proposal of Caron to join forces to deal with the 'Lord of Chaos' Kaos?"
Charon has been campaigning for this matter for half a year, but except for Gaia, who reacted a little and took the initiative to contact Li Mochen once, the rest of the forces did not make a splash at all.
But in Li Mochen's original prediction, among the several god kings, only the Lord of Radiance was the one who was the least likely to sit idly by and watch Kaos wake up, even more so than Gaia.
In his opinion, whether it is Horus's main body, the 'God of the Shadow Moon and Blue Wolf', or his projection in this world, the 'Lord of Light', they are incompatible with 'Chaos'.
"Nope!"
Isis's chest heaved and he let out a long breath, "That's what I find strange. β
Li Mochen had already frowned: "If that's the case, then your child's situation is a bit serious, Your Highness Isis." So the repeated suicide attacks of the Church of Truth in recent years are also due to his oracles?"
"No! That's been for years. Until then, Horus had never allowed his followers to die or die for the so-called 'holy war'. Andrei, you should know what is going on, the so-called holy war in the Middle Ages was only in the name of religion. The essence is the conflict between two cultures, ethnic groups and living spaces, and the clerics and nobles who have usurped Horus's power, all of which are not subject to the will of the gods. On the Truth Cult, the situation is similar. β
Isis looked at Li Mochen with a mocking look in his eyes: "The Mandate of Heaven Church has only been established in recent years, but as far as I know, similar signs have already appeared, right?"
Li Mochen couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself that this was just a sign? The fact is that the situation is already quite serious. How can there be no internal contradictions when different races, different countries, different races, hundreds of powerful forces, and hundreds of gods are united under the same church?
In the future, if he falls into a deep sleep, or if he needs to leave temporarily due to some circumstance, then the church will be divided over interests, the upper clergy will oppress the believers by virtue of their authority, and even in the name of the Lord God, they will oppose the same and exclude dissent.
The current structure of the Church of Destiny is indeed advanced, and modern information transparency also allows believers to have more channels to learn about the church and their gods. But these drawbacks cannot be avoided even by those modern large corporations with strict systems, let alone loosely organized and larger church organizations?
Only under his personal control and suppression can the unity of the Church be maintained to the greatest extent. It is only when there is a strong external enemy that it is possible for the gods of the Destiny to work together.
"Besides, the faith over there has little to do with Horus. Ahura's control over the Church of Truth was gradually increasing, and the imams, large and small, had largely blocked Horus's communication with the faithful. β
"I know that. β
Li Mochen knew that this imam's system was originally the back hand left by Ahura, and Horus, the organizational form of Zoroastrian missions in the Middle East, was powerless to overthrow. The consequence of following this system is the rapid expansion of the belief in the sovereignty of truth in the countries of the Middle East, but at the same time, it has also left a fatal hidden danger.
If the Lord of Radiance is able to stay strong all the time, then it is not a threat. But the current situation has given Ahura room to steal his faith.
"Then how do you want me to help you, Your Highness Isis, if there is something wrong with the consciousness of the Lord of Radiance, then there is nothing I can do. And what are you willing to pay for this? You should know that among the gods of the light world, I am the only one who is willing and able to help him. β
"You're right, but I'm willing to gamble on your credibility. β
At this time, Isis's gaze was a little hot: "I think the most appropriate way now is the wishing technique, I want to use the power of your 'wishing tower'." β
"Wishing Tower?"
Li Mochen immediately frowned: "It's a good idea, but it's impossible!"
He knew that Isis was planning to get Horus out of trouble with a wish such as 'Wishing the Lord of Light to remain awake and self-aware'.
Of course, the consumption of the wishing technique will not be provided by him, and the mother and son themselves have a lot of merit.
But Li Mochen still refused at the first time, and was extremely repulsive to this proposal.
The 'Divine Spiritual Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda''s ability to fulfill wishes is not without limits, and it is now supplying Li Mochen and the Heavenly Mandate Divine System, as well as the cultivation of the entire upper echelons of the church, to make wishes, and it is already on the verge of running at full capacity.
And if he wants Horus to maintain himself and sobriety all the time, God knows how many resources he will have to occupy the 'Divine Spirit Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda'? This will also greatly weaken Li Mochen's personal strength.
This 'wish' will not be fulfilled in a short period of time, it will need to be maintained for a long time. And during this period, if Li Mochen encounters a strong enemy, it will undoubtedly be a self-defeating arm.
"You will, Your Majesty Wildenstein, I can probably guess your concerns, but the way you make a wish is clever enough to have no effect on you. β
Isis's voice was cold, and his eyes were strong: "Everything in this world has a value, and I will come up with conditions that will make your heart flutter." β
As she spoke, she flung something out of her sleeve, and the void hovered in front of the two of them.
Li Mochen's eyes were really surprised, and his eyes changed drastically. After that, he stood there and pondered alone for a long time, until half a moment later, Li Mochen smiled bitterly again: "Your courage and determination always surprise me, Your Highness Isis. It's a bargain that really appeals to me, but if that's not enough. On top of that, you'll have to promise me a few conditions. β
Isis had already frowned deeply and looked displeased, while Li Mochen looked unfathomable: "Your Highness Isis, I am not an insatiable person, and I don't need you to take out extra things. There's just one thing that will be of benefit to you and me, and I need your help with the Lord of Radianceβ"
Isis squinted: "If it's to break the alliance, it's impossible. β
If he wanted to break the alliance between them, then there was no need for him to come up with such a valuable treasure as a bargaining chip.
"Listen to me. β
Li Mochen would not make such an unrealistic request, he knew that until the Lord of Radiance solved his 'psychological' problems, the mother and son would not allow him to step on the rank of 'God of God' alone.
"It's related to 'Chaos' Kaos, and I think this matter will never be rejected by the Lord of Radiance in his awake state. β
β»β»β»β»
Isis took out the reward for the large world core. And this wish made to Li Mochen is 'to make a wish to keep Isis's child Horus as sober and self-aware as possible in the non-combat state of the Lord of Fate'. In addition, in the form of a contract, it was stipulated that Li Mochen must unconditionally fulfill Isis's wish under the circumstances of his ability, which will last for a hundred years, or end after Horus becomes a god.
This is indeed a very ingenious way to make a wish, and the object designated by the wish is very clear, and it can also eliminate Li Mochen's worries and burdens.
Our Lady of Radiance has spared no stone for her child, not only offering a treasure of this rank, but also willingly accepting this deeply unequal agreement.
To Li Mochen's regret, this transaction happened a little late. If this time was in advance before the God King Trade Fair, he could directly exchange this thing for a 'false truth' level mythical weapon to further strengthen his own strength.
And now, it has no benefit except for allowing Li Mochen to have more advantages and initiative in the future battle for gods, and it can't make Li Mochen's own strength grow in any way.
Only the value of this thing itself can indeed be equivalent to a 'false truth' level mythological armament.
And after Isis's wish was completed, Li Mochen felt a heavy pressure. The 'Shenxiao Lingyun Purple Gold Tower' had reached its limit, so Li Mochen had to make himself a wishing machine to bear the part of the overflow of the 'Shenxiao Lingyun Purple Gold Tower'. From this, we can also get a glimpse of how serious the problems facing the Lord of Light are at present.
Fortunately, he now relies on the 'Scarlet Dragon Armor' and holds a double copy of the pseudo-truth-level 'Eternity', otherwise he would really be overwhelmed.
And after returning to the Magic Tower in the Land of Destiny, Li Mochen called his 'Voyeur Angel' Reinhardt Heydrich over.
"As quickly as possible, spread the news of my secret meeting with Isis, and emphasize that I had reached an 'unspeakable' agreement with Isis. β
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will let Zeus and Odin know of this in the shortest possible time. β
Heydrich didn't feel anything wrong with Li Mochen's behavior of turning his back and sticking a knife, but he showed appreciation.
Once this news spreads, it means that Odin's alliance against the Mandate of Heaven will be on the verge of breaking. When they are suspicious of each other, it is difficult for them to work together again.
"It seems that the Lord of Radiance is indeed in trouble, isn't it?
When Li Mochen heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head slightly: "It's just like you guessed, and it's more serious than you imagined." β
His 'Voyeur Angel' had raised this speculation to his counterpart long ago, and he had enough evidence to support his view.
During these six months, the internal struggle of the Old Church of Light was very fierce, and the two hundred and fifty-third Pope John Honorius was about to die, and the successor of the pope had not been decided for a long time. The Bright Protestant side is not worrying either, and there are great contradictions between several sects.
It is also reported that Uriel and Michael had a violent conflict over a certain matter of Ahura's encroachment on the faith of truth, and almost took action on the spot.
Then there is the Lord of Light himself, whose edicts to the Church through the kings of angels are often in conflict with each other.
"So Isis asked for help?"
Heydrich's eyes flashed, "I will continue to pay attention to the Heavenly Kingdom of the Lord of Light and his church, and I will not miss a single change, Your Majesty." β
Li Mochen couldn't help but smile, this 'blonde beast' and 'black prince' of the Teutonian World War II era had never disappointed him.
He really has to pay attention to the situation of the Church of Light now, and he can't be careless about these two mothers and sons just because Isis grovels to ask him for help, otherwise there is a high probability that they will be sold and they will have to count the money for each other.
Then Li Mochen found that Heydrich did not seem to have any intention of quitting and leaving.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is a new situation on the side of Southern America. β
Heydrich stroked his hand to his chest and bowed slightly: "I suspect that the army of the Beast Empire, they want to evacuate from Southern America, and their decision this time may be very firm. β
Li Mochen was slightly stunned, and then laughed sarcastically: "By this time, they should also wake up." But it's not that easy to quit just like that. You've already forwarded the relevant information to Guderian, right?"
"It's been transferred to him!"
Heydrich also laughed: "The Southern America Theater is already making a new battle plan, and Guderian and they will not allow those legions of the Beast Empire to withdraw so easily. β
β»β»β»β»
At 7:30 p.m., when the 'Twilight Offensive' launched by the Pelotas Front of the Empire of Ten Thousand Beasts came to an end, the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army Group of the Front, the Grand Duke of Kattu, Ebu Ke**, was in his own headquarters looking at the electronic projection map in front of him with a frown. He personally operated it, constantly zooming in and out of the map, checking every detail on the battle front.
After three years of fighting in the Bright World, this great nobleman of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire has been able to skillfully manipulate these devices that combine modern technology and magic, but this will not help solve the dilemma he is facing now.
At this time, one of his closest subordinates, the commander of the 35th Army under the Seventh Army Group, Duke Bernie Ke**bao, also strode in.
"Again, our army will only be able to break through the third layer of trenches. It can't go on like this, Lord Grand Duke, the individual melee combat capabilities of those humans on the other side have become very powerful, and with the help of those so-called magic armor and biogenesis, they are no longer inferior to our most elite warriors. Their defensive lines and fortifications seem to be easy to break through, but they all have ingenious structures, large spans of depth, and unknown and extremely powerful forces hidden in the rear. And on the whole front, they are strangling our fighters with similar traps. β
As he spoke, he walked to the electronic projection map, and then pointed directly at several directions on the map with the sword in his hand.
"They've strengthened the defenses here and here, and there are seven bunkers that haven't been discovered before, and my men have tried them. The casualties were very tragic, and there was almost no possibility of a breakthrough. So today, not only did we not have any results, but we retreated 300 meters on the No. 43 to No. 54 lines. The exact number of casualties has not yet been counted, but it will never be less than three thousand, and there are still a large number of servants who defected to the opposite side without firing a shot, but I am already very careful. β
After saying this, his expression hesitated slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, I think that their strength was actually enough to drive our army into the sea a month ago. It was very dangerous, they sharpened their minions to the sharpest, but they always hid behind that line of defense, almost defenseless. On the contrary, we know that it is impossible to break through, and it is impossible to defeat our opponents. But in the course of these months, in vain tens of millionsβ"
"Shut up, Bernie, are you trying to bring disaster upon our family?"
Ebu Ke** gave Duke Gaula a fierce look, as their names suggested.
This Grand Duke of Katertu and Duke of Gauro Bernie Ke** Fort are from the same family, and they are from the 'Ke** Castle' in the Katertu Province of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, which is the origin of their family.
"But I can't help but say it!"
Bernie Ke**bao's face was pale, and his eyes were scarlet, and he looked at his superior, who was also the leader of the Ke**bao clan: "Your Excellency, Grand Duke, I have a hunch that if the battle continues like this, then we may be finished soon, and the entire Seventh Army Group, there is more than one commander like me." I even know that you, Your Excellency, are one of them, and whether you admit it or not, you have deliberately slowed down the intensity of the offensive on the entire front during this time. But this is not enough, Your Excellency Grand Duke, as one of the top twenty nobles of the Empire, the Cardinal of War, and the future Captain of Valhalla, you have an obligation to stand up for everyone, for our warriors, for the future of our Empire! β
Ebu Ke**bao was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the people around him: "Everyone let me go down!"
When everyone here had left, Fort Ebu Ke** grabbed Duke Goula by the collar.
"Do you think the above don't know? Bernie? You're the only one who realizes this? Bernie, you idiot, if it weren't for your sister's sake, I'd have killed you. According to the punishment method of this world army, shoot!"
Bernie Ke** couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his pupils froze: "I realized that I couldn't do anything to change it, so the situation is worse than I thought, right? Also, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, do you think that the current military spirit still needs me to shake it?"
"Sooner or later, you're going to cause trouble for your family, Bernie. β
Grand Duke Katertu sighed softly and threw his clan brother aside with his hand: "But you still underestimate those guys on the other side, it seems to me that they may have had enough strength to drive us out of the sea three months ago, not a month ago as you think." No, it may have been half a year ago, since the Grandon Island War, they have no disadvantage in terms of top combat power. But they didn't just play in South America, they were extremely conservative in almost all defensive lines. β
"Are they so powerful?"
Bernie Ke** looked incredulous: "You make me wonder, why are they doing this? Just to consume our national and military strength? But as far as I know, we still get a lot from Southern America." Lots of manpower, food, minerals, and magical materials. Relying on these resources, our birth rate has increased instead of decreasing, and the rotation policy formulated by the empire is also very wise. Now we only need to add about 10 million troops, a certain amount of magic armor, and devote more resources to the construction of fixed fortifications, and we should not lose too much. β
"Draining our national power is one thing. β
There was a mockery in the eyes of the Grand Duke of Catertu: "But you don't have insight into the nature of this war, Bernie! This is a war of faith, not an ordinary national war. β
Bernie Ke** immediately frowned: "Faith?"
"The purpose of a national war is to strike at the opponent's national strength and war potential to the greatest extent, while faith war is to gain faith as much as possible. And nowβ"
Grand Duke Katertu's voice became more and more bitter: "In just half a year, at least 2.3 billion people in Southern America have converted to the Lord of Destiny. This is just a statistic on the surface, and in the secret we don't know, we don't know how many people will believe in private. Bernie, don't look at the fact that we have built many shrines in this country, and there are a large number of believers who visit them every day, but in fact, there is not one in a thousand true believers, do you know why?"
Bernie Ke** Fort already had some realization: "Is it because of the war? And our exploitation of this area?"
"Rather, they have the power to drive us out of this land, but they don't do anything for the Manifest Destiny Church's faith. And now, more and more people are moving closer to their churches. Using the enemy's sword to persecute not only makes it easier to gather people's hearts, but also does not need to dye one's own hands black, how terrible is our enemy?"
Grand Duke Katertu sighed again: "This war is becoming less and less cost-effective, we have long wanted to give up, Bernie! Moreover, according to His Highness Lord's calculations, we will not be able to reap sufficient benefits from this land after a maximum of three months. A protracted war will only make it easier for the other side to collect faith. However, they have also seen our intentions and will not allow us to leave. β
"Won't we be allowed to leave?"
Bernie Ke** felt chills all over his body: "You mean, they are sure to wipe us out now?"
