Three days later, in the western Pacific Ocean, in the Coral Sea at the western tip of Australia, hundreds of naval guns were firing fiercely, missiles of various types dragged serpentine tail flames across the sky, explosions that shook the heavens and the earth were endless, and huge tsunamis tens of meters high were constantly surging on the sea surface. The sky was constantly shining brightly, and from time to time, mushroom clouds several kilometers in diameter rose into the sky.

Even the 72,000-ton battleship "Pacific Rim" under the Rising Sun Shipping Company, the 98,000-ton aircraft carrier "Wildenstein", and the 72,000-ton "Brayden" battleship under Light & Magic Industries were also violently bumped on this sea, and with the amazing tide suddenly rising, falling, and undulating. And the surrounding air defense cruisers, destroyers, frigates, etc., which are about 10,000 tons, as well as the numerous armed merchant ships to which this transport fleet belongs, are even more unbearable in this terrible storm and wave, and are no different from toy ships.

However, the crews of these ships, even in such harsh environments, were able to maintain a very high level of heavy fire and ensure that the ammunition would not deviate too much.

The magic energy cultivation of all members above level 6 gives them a good balance and ability to resist wind and waves, and the 'knight' level biological breeding equipment that has been popularized in the fleet can allow them to accurately manipulate the equipment around them even in extremely harsh conditions.

And their opponents include two hundred and thirty corsairs of various types, as well as a number of military warships.

And here it is not only the warships of the opposing sides that are bombarding each other with all their might, but their fighters are also fighting with all their might in the airspace here. The magical storms and violent qi caused by these powerhouses are also amazingly destructive, not inferior to those powerful warships with various heavy weapons.

At this time, on the bridge of the battleship 'Rim of the Pacific', many commanders and staff officers here were all looking at a holographic magic projection in front of them with cold faces, which could display all the battle and sea conditions within 1,200 nautical miles around.

There are some pitch-black areas on it, which are areas that cannot be peeped into by the magic of their side, but most of them are lit up, and there is constantly a strong light shining, which shows the fierceness and stalemate of the battle between the two sides.

"The gods of Olympus, they are planning to declare war directly, right? His Royal Highness Faren has been in charge in person for the past few days, it should have been expected, right?"

Sitting in the Fleet Chief of Staff seat was retired Vice Admiral Alec Bass, who looked at the magic map in front of him with the same solemn and cautious gaze as he spoke.

The fighting that is currently taking place is not enough to move the lieutenant general. The overall level of the enemy is not in his eyes. If nothing else, he expects the battle to be resolved in fifteen minutes at most. If you're ready to throw in another Storm Company, or more magic towers, you'll be able to destroy enemies even faster.

Only the seventeen 'Battleships in the Clouds' that had been exposed in front of them under the detection of the magician and the magic radar made Lieutenant General Alec Bass very jealous.

- It was the creation of the Titans, the magic warships of the Olympians who dominated the seas in Roman times. It has the same technology as the magic tower, but it is slightly inferior in terms of power. But each of them still has the energy of a 10,000-ton cruiser. Some of these special models, the strength can go straight to the battleship. The power of the 'Magic Energy Annihilation Cannon' and the 'High Energy Plasma Cannon' was enough to threaten the side-spinning armor of the two battleships.

It is rumored that the artifact of the Cult of Light, Noah's Ark, is based on the Battleship in the Clouds.

Even more fearful are the many Chosen Warriors and Titan warriors hidden in these warships, an incomparably powerful force that has caused heavy casualties to the Angelic Army that the Lord of Light has placed in the Outlands.

In fact, they're already casting all sorts of spells to help the pirates in their battles. There are even powerful theocratic forces that intervene to allow their enemies to resist the fire of the many warships here.

The object of Alec Bass's inquiry was the two people in front of him, one was Brigadier General Wallace Clayton, and the other was His Royal Highness García Ferron, the god of strategy.

Needless to say, the latter is currently the commander-in-chief of the Australian direction, responsible for all matters of war between Australia and the surrounding seas before their sovereign conquest.

The former, on the other hand, is the current commander of the Second Combined Fleet of the Rising Sun, although Wallace Clayton retired from the army as a brigadier general. But this man, who joined the master of fate very early, can be said to have single-handedly presided over the creation of all four fleets of the Rising Sun Shipping Company. And because he followed the master of fate earlier and was quite talented, this one had been promoted to a fifth-level legend under the protection of their lord, and was given a god-level colonization 'god-rank knight'.

Alec Bass was not convinced, and he asked himself if he was not below Wallace Clayton, and his rank in the army was higher than the latter. But it was only because this lord who followed them earlier that he was more trusted by the lord of fate.

But on the other hand, Alec Bass also admires this character. It is said that His Highness actually intended to promote Brigadier General Wallace Clayton to the rank of the elect, and even intended to help the latter, obtaining a priesthood of 'naval warfare' and 'artillery warfare', and becoming one of his subordinate gods. However, he was rejected by Brigadier General Wallace Clayton, who was deserved because he did not think that he had enough merit, and on the other hand, he was still ambitious and still wanted to go down the road of 'magic marksman', seemingly intending to rely on his own strength to become a god. This is also the common idea of the commanders and top combatants of the various units under the Rising Sun at present, and their lord has provided them with a life span far beyond ordinary people, so everyone is extra strong in this regard.

In addition, there are rumors that His Royal Highness, the Lord of Destiny, intends to build a 'Temple of the God of War'. It is similar to the existence of the Nordic 'Valhalla', the Olympus 'Chosen Warrior'. Collect the souls of powerful warriors after death and grant eternal life.

Therefore, their group of soldiers and warriors belonging to the Rising Sun Group, like the followers of Odin and the Lord of Radiance in the past, have no fear of death.

However, Brigadier General Wallace Clayton's move to give up the opportunity to become a god directly still made Alex Bass very emotional.

"The latest news, just five minutes ago, Apollo's incarnation of the human world personally visited the headquarters of the Rising Sun Group, and His Highness has already received him. ”

García Ferron, the god of strategy, said indifferently: "They have long been ready to go, just waiting for His Highness to reply to their ultimatum. ”

This made everyone present look slightly sad. Although they all knew that the Rising Sun and the Wildenstein family had prepared for this day, the Greek word 'Olympus' (?λυμπο?) still brought them a heavy pressure. After all, it was a powerful god clan that had dominated most of the old continent and even across Asia and Africa thousands of years ago.

It is said that after this, the 'Olympus' protoss traveled to foreign lands under the leadership of Zeus and had conquered five worlds.

And now their war with this powerful god clan has officially begun.

"Looks like we're being taken hostage. ”

Lieutenant General Alec Bass said clearly: "This is indeed an opportunity to force His Highness to stand in line, two hundred ships, and cargo worth four billion gold guilders, including a large amount of arms and military supplies, and a total of six marine brigades. They thought they had captured our eggs, and they thought they could crush, or even wipe us out. ”

"With the current situation in Australia, they really don't want to see our boat group dock in Australia. The arrival of this batch of supplies will greatly increase the power of the Church of Destiny in Australia. ”

Brigadier General Wallace Clayton, who is the commander of the fleet, has another thought: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Australian Navy's fleet is not moving at the right pace, they have slowed down, and it is expected that the time for them to resist the battlefield may be delayed by an hour, or even longer. Dlock, now send a telegram to them and ask them about their situation! Also, ask the Australian government if this is from their orders?"

This made all the staff officers present couldn't help but change their faces slightly.

"What are they trying to do? Do they do it on purpose? Do they want to sit back and watch this war?"

"These guys are dying in the country!

"These shit Australians, they deserve hell. Don't they know that our Lord is the only one who can save them?"

"They took the initiative to find our Lord and ask us for help, right?"

"Hey, I guess behind this must be the work of the cardinals of the Church of Light. ”

"Not necessarily, the influence of the Church of Light in Australia is more in the people. Their upper echelons have always been the realm of a certain goddess. ”

"You mean that one, right?

"Looks like these guys are really going to put us along-"

Lieutenant General Alec Bass sneered: "Stupid Australians! If we fail today, they will regret what they did." The situation in Australia will spiral out of control. ”

"If we win the next war, we can make them regret it. ”

García Ferron, the god of strategy, glanced at the fleet commander with admiration, and he wondered why the Lord of Fate would treat this man differently, and even planned to sacrifice his divine power to make him a god.

To be able to transport the Rising Sun, which was nothing ten years ago, to such a scale, Brigadier General Wallace Clayton's ability and wisdom are indeed beyond doubt.

"Get ready, the war will start. I know His Highness's character, he will not give in! And the enemy we face this time is not only these ships in the clouds, but also more than the Olympian Protoss. Gentlemen, this will be a fierce battle! The opponent is not comparable to the pirates you have easily defeated in the past. ”

He turned to look at the magical holographic projections, the areas that were still shrouded in black mist.

"I think we're going to see a lot of mythical creatures that haven't been in the mortal world in a long time, what do you think?

"But I believe that the strength we have will definitely exceed the enemy's expectations! We have already planned our defenses, haven't we? ”

Alec Bass's words lifted the spirits of several core staff officers gathered here.

Judging from what they have now, it is true that the strength of the Wildenstein family can be called a strong army.

At present, the Wildenstein family has four decommissioned battleships and the earliest 'Tomahawk' that have been acquired and refitted in the past seven years, three decommissioned medium aircraft carriers, eight 10,000-ton cruisers, 16 escort submarines, 36 destroyers, and 80 ocean-going frigates.

These warships can't hide from other forces. However, in addition, Anthony Braden's secret shipyard overseas has recently secretly built 24 'Omniscient Shield' class destroyers and 12 magic energy submarines for the company.

But what really gave everyone confidence was the fighting troops on their side.

The First Combined Fleet of 'Rising Sun-Light and Demon' currently carries a total of twelve Storm Companies, with a total of 1,440 'Sky Knights' with legendary comprehensive combat power, 144 'Heavenly Knights' with demigod-level comprehensive combat power, twelve 'Chosen Knights', and twelve legendary mages or lichs accompanying the army, and twelve four-story magic towers.

- This powerful force is not something that either side can easily take.

Judging from what they have so far, the scale of the war between the Lord of Radiance and the three major gods in the outer realm. The strength of these twelve storm companies is already equivalent to one-fifth of the 'Angel Legion'.

At present, the total number of angel legions under the command of the Lord of Radiance is only seven. That is the power that this Radiant Lord has accumulated over thousands of years.

Originally, they also had the Australian Navy and the six large fleets of the American Pacific Fleet as Austrian reinforcements. But even if these allies are unable to reach the battlefield for some reason, or even become enemies, they are not unacceptable.

"So-"

Alec Bass said meaningfully: "I'm a little nervous now, and I'm also a little looking forward to the war, and I have mixed feelings, don't I? I don't know what His Highness is talking about now? I look forward to the result." ”

He knew that all the people around him probably thought the same way as him. How many veterans who choose to join the Rising Sun Group after retiring from the army and are destined to experience large-scale wars want to spend the rest of their lives in peace?

War, steel, artillery, guns, and fire and blood are what they love.

Including the 'God of Strategy' García Ferron, they are a bunch of war maniacs!

※※※※

At this time in Atlanta, in the president's office of the headquarters of the Rising Sun Group, Li Mochen was sitting face-to-face with the incarnation of Apollo.

After Li Mochen became a god, he had stepped down from the position of president of the Rising Sun Group and handed it over to Alyssa. So now, Li Mochen is actually borrowing this place to entertain guests.

It must be mentioned that according to the principle of identity reciprocity, Li Mochen only used a divine power incarnation this time.

For every two godheads that a god raises, he can get an additional avatar of divine power. Their strength changes with the ascension of the Godhead. When the Godhead is one, it can be equal to their full strength, and when the Godhead is two, it is one-half. Correspondingly, when the Godhead is fourteen, it is one-fourteenth.

The power of the incarnation of divine power seems to be shrinking, but it is actually constantly improving.

Li Mochen does not often use the incarnation of divine power, firstly because he has a better secondary body, and secondly, because he has not yet entered the kingdom of God and has not reached the boundaries of the "Treaty of Partition of Man and God", so it is not necessary. He can now appear anywhere in this city at any time as long as he wants, and the strength of the ontology is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the divine power clone, and he has not encountered any situation where the clone lacks skills.

He might use it in the future, but he really doesn't need it at the moment. Only on this occasion, Li Mochen needs to use this technique.

There is no reason to interrupt the process of improving the 'Heavenly Mandate Sword' and the 'Six Immortal Sword' for the other party's avatar.

"Don't think about it anymore? Andrey?"

Apollo seemed to be looking at the incarnation of 'Li Mochen', but he was actually looking out of the glass window, the twenty-eight-story magic tower that was suspended above Sword Manor.

"I thought we could be friends, but you're embarrassing me. ”

"But we're friends now, aren't we?"

Li Mochen responded with a smile: "A few months ago, we already had an agreement, I maintained neutrality, and you gave me peace, I have always done a good job, haven't I?"

"Your neutrality has led to the loss of millions of followers of Olympus, and it is of the highest quality. The royal father and I can ignore these things, but only if you join Olympus. ”

Apollo shook his head slightly: "Your fleet in the Coral Sea will also bankrupt our plans, this is not the posture of a neutral faction. ”

"It was just a relief for my poor believers, and a response and self-defense to all sides. ”

Li Mochen-for-tat: "Some people don't seem to want me to stay out of the matter, in the past ten days in Australia, there have been as many as 1,232 attacks on my church, resulting in the death of more than 300 believers. It's nothing, the point is my church, they've been cut off supplies. ”

Mainly magic stones and magic materials, he had enough food reserves in the twenty-seven churches over there.

However, the problem is that frequent attacks lead to the rapid consumption of magic stones and magic materials. There was also an increase in the number of believers and patrons, making it necessary for them to expand the size and coverage of the church.

However, the Church of Destiny is in Australia, and has not been able to acquire any magic-related materials at this time.

What made him even more important was the intelligence gathered by Clark Banfield and Paracelsus. Australia has gathered a powerful force hostile to the Church of Destiny, and they are waiting for the moment to launch a devastating assault on their twenty-seven churches.

"It's a pity. ”

Apollo sighed, "I'd love to know, what is your fearless reliance on? alliance with the native gods? The recent actions of the American government are clearly a threat and persecution to you. It's really unwise to be against Olympus and Asa for their sake. Look at their style, how many of their allies have been betrayed by them, and even removed? Even the more reputable goddess of magic can't escape her mother's influence, and the alliance with you is unbreakable. Andrey, are you really ready to rely on this unstable alliance for a war that could drag you to hell?"

Li Mochen's face was indifferent, he knew that what Apollo was referring to was that a number of cities in Texas in America jointly filed a lawsuit against the Rising Sun Company and Light and Magic Industries, accusing them of abusing their monopoly position in bio-breeding equipment and magic armor, causing heavy losses to several military enterprises in Texas.

Li Mochen also knew that this was a warning from the Goddess of Dissension, and if he disobeyed this person's instructions, he would face a comprehensive blow from all dimensions from mortals to gods.

Apollo made a point of mentioning the word 'Asa', apparently to indicate to him that the two sides had reached a consensus on the issue against him.

"I don't intend to go to war, Your Highness Apollo! I just want to give my church some supplies. ”

Li Mochen's tone was still humble and friendly, but Apollo no longer had the gentleness he had when he first met: "But I don't allow it!"

He looked at Li Mochen with a cold, warning gaze: "There can only be three results today, surrender to Olympus, or we sink your protective fleet, or, Andre, you win this battle." ”

Li Mochen was silent for a long time this time, he looked at Apollo fixedly, and then shook his head.

"If it were the previous conditions, I would not have been able to join the Olympian gods, His Highness Apollo. ”

"Then don't talk about it anymore. ”

Apollo's figure had dissipated into bits of gold, and he let out a sigh at the same time, echoing in the office.

"It's a pity—"

At the first moment of departure, Alyssa's figure walked in: "The talk collapsed, didn't it?"

"Isn't this expected? Let the First and Second Combined Fleets be told that the battle is about to begin. ”

Li Mochen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a slightly solemn expression: "The opponent may be all of them, including the Asa Protoss and the Lord of Radiance. ”

"In fact, just two minutes ago, the temptation of the Aesir Protoss and Lord the God of ** conveyed a request to meet with your church. ”

Alyssa smiled bitterly: "I guess his purpose is also to give you an ultimatum." ”

"Then it's gone, tell him that I have no intention of surrendering to any god now. ”

Li Mochen didn't plan to meet with Lord, who was a quasi-god king, especially stronger than Apollo, maybe he could see his current state, which would lead to a change in the situation of the next battle.

"If they're going to fight, let's do it together, I don't mind. ”

"Your will. ”

Alyssa shrugged, "But, actually, I don't think we need to care too much about the goddess. We have enough power in the White House, in Congress. At most, it was an American civil war, or even a split, and the Lady of Liberty could not enter this world, and it was not known who would kill the deer in the end. ”

"How can it be so simple?"

Li Mochen smiled and looked at his right-hand man: "My time to become a god is too short, Alyssa." And the power of Her Highness the Goddess has guided this country for hundreds of years, and this country was built by her, isn't it? Her influence pervades every link of this country, filling every aspect. If I want someone to make up their minds to follow me, it has to show a certain amount of strength. So in a way, a well-timed battle is in my expectation. ”

At this point in time, the major god systems do not pay enough attention to him, but the strength of the Destiny Church and the Wildenstein Group, as well as his own strength, has reached a peak.

Seeking to win everything will not be respected, and division and civil war will drain their strength, so war is the only option.

He needed a victory, just like those battles half a year ago that won him half a year of peace. A victory that made the gods temporarily powerless to fight back, allowing more people to be on their side. Only in this way can he truly stand on the chessboard as a chess player and compete with those powerful beings.

"Then let's have a good fight, Your Highness. ”

Alyssa took a deep breath and her gaze became sharper.

In fact, she has always understood Li Mochen's intentions, but the pressure brought by the enemy is too heavy, so she instinctively avoids taboos.

But since there is no escape, then you can only try to face it.

And after letting go of the burden in her heart, Alyssa even joked a little: "I guess those two parties must be thinking about your Highness now, you don't understand their kindness." How do you say it in Oriental terms? ”

Li Mochen didn't care much: "Then after this conflict, they won't see it like this." ”

※※※※

"Unfortunately, I have not been able to peacefully help you gain the right to war. ”

In the starry sky, in a wide and gorgeous battleship in the clouds, Apollo opened his eyes from his throne: "It seems that you must take back everything that belongs to you with your own hands, Ares." ”

"It seems that he does not understand how precious this opportunity is. ”

The god of war Ares said this as Alyssa expected, and he snorted coldly: "But this is also expected, there are only about seventeen million believers who believe in him as the god of war." But even I am reluctant to give up this benefit easily, let alone a mortal who has just become a god. He's never had a failure in his life, hasn't he? As I said earlier, he shouldn't have been tolerated in the first place, and he's even more powerful now. ”

Apollo smiled and said nothing, but there was a bit of disapproval in his eyes.

Half a year ago, they were not 'intentionally' tolerant, but helpless. At that time, the Olympus Grand Fleet was still some distance away from the light world, and the gods could not fully descend power in this world.

As long as the Lord of Radiance does not make a move, that Lord of Destiny can be said to be invincible in the main material realm.

At that time, the only way to save the churches and temples of Olympus from the blows of fate and allow them to fight against the Cult of the Radiant God with all their might, then the 'Huairou' strategy was the only way to go.

In the end, this is all a strategy that resulted from the defeat of Ares and Tyr.

It was at this time that Apollo's expression was slightly condensed, and he looked up.

"Since he doesn't yet know the value of compromise and concession, let him realize it. ”

With this voice, an incomparably majestic figure dressed in red gold armor and holding a scepter appeared in front of them. Standing seven meters in the air, the man looked down at the two of them condescendingly: "Ares, now go and let that guy who doesn't know how to value the kindness of others realize what he's missing! Go destroy his fleet, tear down his temple, and make his followers wail and weep." In this battle, I will let the goddess of victory help you. ”

Niki, the goddess of victory, was the slave god of Zeus and Athena at the same time. Her father was Pallas, the god of war and the art of war in the Titan era, and her grandfather was Cleos, the original Titan god of astrology and weather, who was able to take over the authority of 'victory' because he defected to Olympus in the Titan War and helped him win.

She also has three brothers and sisters, Kratos (the god of power), Bia (the god of power), and Zelos (the god of zeal), who are descendants of Zeus.

"Nikki—"

Ares's eyes shrank imperceptibly, and then he bowed: "Do as you wish! I will make our enemies suffer and regret their choice!"

At the same time, Odin, who sat on the throne on the battleship 'Klitaskev', also looked cold.

"Our kindness, it looks like he's ready to refuse, isn't he? He doesn't even plan to meet your avatar?"

"Exactly!"

The god of temptation and **, Lord shook his head slightly: "I have failed your trust, Your Majesty Odin!"

"It's none of your business, it's me who has neglected mortal greed. ”

Odin sneered, "Now is the time to correct this mistake, and we must teach the rebellious new god a lesson." Let our dragon warships strike! Odin's legions will join forces with our former enemies today. ”

"Then Your Majesty, are you going to fight in person?"

This sentence came from the very end of the seat of the gods, and everyone looked sideways to find that it was the eldest son of Badr, the god of light, and the god of truth, justice and reconciliation, and the god of truth, justice and reconciliation, which immediately aroused the wrath of the gods present.

"Are you going to say anything shitty?"

"A guy who doesn't even dare to speak out when the priesthood is stolen by the new gods, do you persuade my king to follow your example?"

"If you are not the eldest grandson of Your Majesty, you can be sentenced to death for your cowardice four thousand years ago!"

Odin raised his hand slightly, restoring silence to his temple, and then he replied in an indifferent tone: "Yes, Lord has helped me to achieve a tacit understanding with the gods, including the Lord of Light. ”

"But they can't be trusted!"

Van Saiti looked sincere: "If you have any damage in this battle, then our Asa Protoss will probably be the first to be out in this competition." ”

But this sentence caused everyone to laugh.

"Will my king be damaged?"

"What are you talking about?

"Do you think a guy who has been a god for less than a year can hurt His Majesty?"

"This is not half a year ago, Your Majesty's divine power has completely descended on this world!"

Odin also smiled dumbly, and he shook his head disapprerovingly: "I'll pay attention to Versaily, you don't need to worry about this." I think what you should be more worried about now is how to gain the understanding of the gods. I haven't forgiven you yet, Van Sayti!"

It was also at the same time, in some kingdom of God illuminated by a great torch.

A goddess in white and a goddess in black stood against the lake, and through the lake in front of them, they saw the war taking place in the waters of the Coral Sea.

"The Australian Navy's fleet doesn't seem to be in time for the war, is that your idea? ”

"No, it's the Vatican, their people have influenced the decision-making of the Australian side. ”

The white-clothed goddess said in a leisurely voice: "I just stood by and watched, and I didn't stop it." ”

"What about Cain and Lilith?"

"A little bit of it will allow them to get out of the contract. ”

"It's you. ”

The black-clothed goddess continued to ask tentatively, "So, this chess piece displeased you, right?"

"Yes, according to the observations of some of my voters, he now wields too much power. Prometheus also told me that he was distracting more and more from the future, making it impossible for him to foresee the way forward. ”

As she spoke, the goddess in white waved her arms to conceal the positions of the nearby Australian fleet and the 22nd American fleet.

"I need him to go to war and share the pressure for us, but I don't want him to win this war, that's all!"

"This will be a devastating blow to the Lord of Destiny, but it will also be truly in your control. Even in this war, you can benefit from which side wins. ”

The black-clothed goddess sighed unexpectedly: "You are much more ruthless than Hekathe, Eris! I have given many of my powers to my favorite Hecate, but now it seems that you are far better than her." ”

"Thank you for your compliment, but isn't this what Your Highness the Mother Goddess taught?"

Eris's lips were slightly raised, and he seemed quite proud. But her smile was elegant, soft and bright: "Thanks to the priesthood you have bestowed, only endless strife can satisfy me now." ”
