#603 - Chapter 603: The Mani Cult’s Gift

"Your Holiness, it really won't work. Arrange for some guest elders to go over there," an elder suggested.

Guest elders are equivalent to the deputies of each elder hall, and their combat power is generally around Tier 4.

"No, activating the Star Array requires enough energy. These guest elders must guard the elder halls!" The Pope sternly refused.

"But relying solely on Tier 3 followers, I'm afraid we can't defend against it," the elder said.

"Move all the warships over there as well to share some of the pressure," the Pope said.

"In that case, if Egula and the Ulan Neutral Zone jointly launch an attack, it will be difficult for us to cope," the elder raised another concern.

This was a big problem.

The fleets of Egula and the Ulan Neutral Zone cannot be eliminated now, as they will be needed during the sacrificial ceremony. If they are eliminated now, the sacrificial ceremony will not succeed.

But if they are not eliminated, they will take the opportunity to cause great damage, which is really a headache.

"Doesn't China have 200,000 troops stationed on the border? After the matter here is resolved, let's attract them over!" the Pope pondered for a moment and said.

From his words, it can be heard that the sacrificial ceremony will inevitably require many people to participate. It doesn't matter what kind of people they are, but there must be some.

However, his idea is based on a premise, which is that outsiders do not know the internal situation of Modo.

"That's the only way," the elder nodded.

After the order was issued, all the elder halls across the country moved.

After receiving the order, a large number of low-level mutants rushed to the southern border.

Only now did they realize that, in addition to the elder hall they were in, there were so many people with the same identity as them.

When these low-level followers arrived at the front line, the insects of India and Pakistan had already advanced more than 200 kilometers.

They did not hesitate and began to attack the insects they saw.

Everyone has different abilities, and at this time, it is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their unique talents.

Overall, the combat power of Tier 3 mutants is still barely acceptable. Defending a section of the area can still cope, but Tier 2 and Tier 1 mutants are completely unable to do so.

Especially Tier 1 mutants, without Tier 3 supporting them nearby, they can't even do odd jobs.

So what Tier 2 and Tier 1 can do is to be assistants to Tier 3, temporarily patching up any gaps.

As more and more mutants rushed to the front line, the offensive of India and Pakistan was finally temporarily suppressed.

But it's only temporary.

Human power is sometimes exhausted, and it is impossible to work non-stop like a machine.

When you can't hold on, it's when they continue to advance.

There is no other way now, they are just stubbornly holding on.

On the other side, the Pope of the Mani Church's order was a great gift to Dongfang Chen.

This change allowed him to quickly locate the positions of those elder halls.

With specific locations, there are attack targets.

As long as these elder halls are all destroyed, the Mani Church will inevitably be severely damaged.

Maybe the sacrificial ceremony can't be held.

Dongfang Chen shared the locations of the 108 elder halls with Techarles and the High Priest Maya.

Just as the three were discussing how to attack, Modo sent another great gift.

Dongfang Chen's three-way warships were suddenly attacked by Modo's warships.

Among them, in the two routes in the north, as soon as the two sides fought, Modo's warships turned around and ran away. Dongfang Chen didn't follow, and they continued to come back to harass.

The three warships on the west route are on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and can fly out of the country in minutes.

The Mani Church believed that Dongfang Chen could not transmit information, so they could only lure these three warships out of the border and let Egula see it.

This information gap made their feint attack seem very fake to Dongfang Chen.

Fake as it may be, it came just in time.

Dongfang Chen was worried about how to conceal his monitoring and communication capabilities, and Modo sent an opportunity.

Now there is no need to conceal it. You come to attack me, and it is reasonable for me to attack you.

Modo induced Dongfang Chen's three warships on the west route to fly out of the border, made a small turn in the Caspian Sea, and flew back.

Dongfang Chen very cooperatively ordered the Egula Maya coalition fleet to set off immediately, flying in a southwest direction and entering Modo.

The Pope of the Mani Church was very happy, thinking that his plan had worked.

He planned to concentrate his forces and defeat them one by one.

First of all, Dongfang Chen's three warships on the west route, now that they have been used up, it is time to eliminate them.

Now Shi Rongchang's troops and Rad Adan's troops are lurking on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. As long as they are lured over, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

And Dongfang Chen already knew that there were warships there, how could he deliberately drill into it?

So he ordered these three warships to abandon the pursuit halfway and instead launch a carpet bombing of a nearby village.

And there is an elder hall in this village.

Of course, the guest elders in the elder hall are not so easily eliminated, only the buildings are destroyed.

This has already confused the Pope of the Mani Church.

Why don't you chase? Do you know that there is an elder hall in that village?
