Although it was only a few days, Cross still had a feeling of burnout. This made him wonder if his life had been too comfortable in the past few years.

In the church, Cross had a transcendent position. Four years ago, when he came here, Cross was the ruler of 200 million people. It can be said that in the eastern region of the Northern Continent under his control, he is the supreme being, and no one can compare with him.

The transcendent status and superior situation made Cross live a very comfortable life.

It's just that the peaceful life is over.

Since the attack on the modulation center in Odin City, in the past few days, Cross has not been calm, there has not been a moment of real silence.

The first is the mysterious disappearance that took place in the city of Odin.

At first, Cross was unimpressed. Most of the missing soldiers were soldiers, and some of them had only recently been recruited. Although Cross was able to establish a spiritual connection with every officer and soldier under his control, and even with every modulator if he wanted to, Odin City had 50,000 officers and soldiers, 50 million modulators, and if you count the satellite cities, there were 100,000 officers and 200 million modulators. Even if Cross was a patriarch and had strong spiritual power, it was impossible for him to maintain a spiritual connection with so many people at any time. Cross's control over the officers and soldiers and the modulators is mainly reflected in the time when he needs these people. To put it simply, only in the event of danger, Cross will use his mental power to control other people and obtain information from them. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Cross to bother to understand the situation of the other modulators, let alone control them.

Ordinary soldiers are missing, and there really is nothing to worry about.

Soldiers are modulators, and even if Holmes has improved his modulation techniques, not everyone is suitable for modulation, and there are always some people who are not suitable for modulation. If these people are concocted, there is a risk of accidents, and some will have a rejection reaction.

Of course, this is not a hassle.

Ordinary soldiers, after receiving the concoction, need to take anti-rejection drugs regularly to maintain their condition. In addition to eliminating rejection, this drug also acts as a control over the state of the modulator. If not taken on time, the concoctor will die after the effect wears off.

That is, even if they suddenly disappear, they will not live long and will not cause more damage.

The problem was that the disappearances soon expanded to include officers of the occupying forces.

Officers are not soldiers, they are not ordinary modulators, but modulators with superpowers, and they do not rely on drugs to maintain their status, but periodically return to the base to reconcoct, that is, to the modulation slot, and keep them superpowered in a more direct way.

Officers are much more survivable than soldiers.

Even without remodulation, officers are able to survive alone for long periods of time, and almost all officers have the ability to mind control.

Of course, most of the officers have very weak mental power and can only control the soldiers around them.

Even so, out-of-control officers are a huge threat.

If these missing officers lose control, because they are not self-conscious, they are likely to attack anyone at will.

While these officers pose no threat to Cross or the commander of the occupying forces, they pose a mortal threat to the soldiers of the occupying forces and to the civilians under the rule of the occupying forces. Maybe it's nothing, but if there are a lot of civilian casualties, it will inevitably have an impact on the rule of the occupying forces, and even on what the occupying forces are doing, which is extremely important.

Cross couldn't let that happen.

The problem is that the missing officers and soldiers cannot be found at all. Even if Cross checked all the concoctors one by one, he couldn't find the slightest clue.

Cross could only believe that there were resistance fighters in Odin, and they were the kind of resistance fighters that he couldn't perceive.

In other words, it is very likely that the person who attacked those officers and soldiers in the city of Odin and caused them to disappear was an energetic resistance fighter.

Of course, Cross was also a little puzzled.

Is it meaningful to attack the rank-and-file officers and soldiers of the occupation forces?

The answer is clearly no.

After the first year of fighting, the vast majority of the rank-and-file of the occupying forces were locals, developed from the civilian population that had been modulated. In the eastern part of the northern continent, where Cross is located, more than 90,000 of the 100,000 occupation troops have developed from the modulators. If needed, Cross can arm more modulators at any time to expand the size of the occupying force.

Obviously, it makes no sense for the Resistance to deal with officers and soldiers at the grassroots level.

Even without taking into account the satellite cities, the 50 million inhabitants of Odin City can be armed at any time, and the resistance is obviously unlikely to kill all 50 million people.

What made Cross even more incomprehensible was that nothing else happened except for the attack on those lone officers and soldiers.

In other words, the resistance fighters hiding in the shadows do not seem to have a long-term purpose, but are only killing people and constantly creating disappearances.

Clearly, the Resistance certainly had a more long-term purpose.

Soon, Cross's speculation was confirmed.

The attack on Rock Rong City made Cross realize that the Resistance was creating trouble in Odin City to cover up the operation there.

Yanrong City is located in the north of Rising Sun City, next to the extremely cold region, and is the northernmost city in the eastern region of the Northern Continent.

Although like Sunburst City, Iwanrong City has 10 million inhabitants, it is much smaller, and most of the city is built on ground that is easier to keep warm to cope with the harsh winters. Yanrong City is also a military fortress, with a garrison of 10,000 troops, twice as many as Rising Sun City. The main thing is that Yanrong City is a port city in the northern region, and it is also one of the two port cities in the eastern region of the northern continent.

In one day, the occupation forces stationed in Yanrong City were attacked three times, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed.

Upon receiving the news, Cross immediately realized that the Resistance was planning a large-scale operation over there, and that they might have assembled near Rock Melting City.

Perhaps, the Resistance intends to occupy the city of Yanrong.

Because the Resistance stole a lot of modulation equipment and obtained vital concoction materials when attacking Rising Sun and Odin, it is very likely that the Resistance intends to expand its scale and need a base, and Yanrong City, which is more than a thousand kilometers away from Odin City, is obviously an ideal choice.

By capturing Rock Melt, the Resistance will be able to gain a port and travel to other continents.

The Resistance attack on the occupying forces in Odin was clearly intended to draw the attention of the occupying forces to the city of Odin, believing that the Resistance would attack the city again. That's exactly what Cross thought, keeping an eye on Odin City, not paying attention to the satellite cities in the eastern region. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Resistance attacked Iwanrong Castle and even prepared to capture it, perhaps soon.

The Resistance must not be allowed to occupy Rock Melt, the Resistance must be destroyed!

Thinking of this, Cross decided to go to Rock Rong City to deal with the resistance over there.

It's just that before Cross could leave the city of Odin, Homs arrived, and brought with him a man, the twelfth patriarch of the church.

It's a woman.

Although it was the first time he had seen this patriarch named Sakya, Cross immediately sensed that she had the same abilities as Holmes.

In other words, she is a spiritually strengthened patriarch.

For Holmes to make such a veteran, Cross is a little incomprehensible. You must know that Holmes himself has extremely strong mental power, and he can even control hundreds of thousands of modulators. As long as he wants, he can also directly control a certain patriarch. In the church, except for Fest, no one has the spiritual power above Homs. It is precisely in this way that Holmes is the second patriarch after Feist.

In Cross's opinion, Holmes had no reason to arrange an "assistant" for himself.

Of course, what Holmes thinks, Cross doesn't care, and he doesn't have the right to ask.

The arrival of Holmes not only relieved Cross, but also made him feel pressured.

With Holmes's mental control, the "veteran" in the Resistance is nothing, and mental control is the key to victory or defeat. It's just that the problem lies in the area managed by Cross, and even with the help of Holmes, the chaos created by the Resistance is quelled, and Cross has an unshirkable responsibility. If things go wrong, it will have an impact on Cross's standing in the church.

Cross is not amnesic, and he certainly knows Doreka's situation.

Although it is not very clear what happened five years ago, one thing is certain, Reka died, and died very completely, Holmes did not give him a second chance, and Feist was even more clean, using the crystal that was originally given to him, allowing Holmes to concoct another patriarch.

That is, if things go wrong, there is a good chance that Cross will become the second Reka.

To disappoint Holmes is to disappoint Feist. There is only one ending to disappoint Feist, and that is to be completely eliminated. What Feist needs is a strong person, and what it needs is a person who has the ability and contribution, so no ability, no contribution, and no value means being eliminated.

Clearly, there is no shortage of replacements for the patriarchs in the church.

In fact, Holmes could concoct another patriarch at any time if he wanted to.

Of course, Cross is confident that he will handle this well.

Holmes came, and also brought an elder with powerful superpowers, and the patriarch named Sakya is not a simple spiritual type, she must have superpowers in other aspects, and her combat effectiveness will not be worse than other elders. Because she is the last of the Patriarchs, she is likely to be the strongest Patriarch after Feister. As long as Holmesken worked hard, he could turn her into the most powerful senator.

There are two patriarchs to support, and there is no trouble that cannot be solved.
