#606 - Chapter 606: China Sends Troops

"Master! I guarantee that Koyako Kamata has absolutely no problems!" Nishino Mikio said in a panic.

If Koyako Kamata had problems, the trouble would be enormous.

If the defense line were lost and air supremacy relinquished, Modo would likely be devastated.

"Then explain this to me!" the Master questioned, pointing at the large screen.

"This...this..." Nishino Mikio was speechless.

"Find a way to destroy him! Since these battleships cannot be used by us, they must be destroyed immediately!" the Master said, taking a deep breath.

He couldn't punish Nishino Mikio now.

Because the sacrificial ceremony needed to activate the star array, and the star array needed elders to control it.

"I'll think of a way!" Nishino Mikio prepared to leave.

"You can't leave!" the Master stopped him.

He knew Nishino Mikio was preparing to go there himself, but it would be even more embarrassing if he died there.

Even a Tier 4 Mutant couldn't withstand the laser cannons of a battleship.

"Yes!" Nishino Mikio could only obey.

"Order all battleships to return immediately!" the Master said helplessly.

Now that he couldn't control the situation, the only thing he could do was protect the main headquarters.

There was an altar here, which absolutely could not be breached.

As long as they held out until 12 noon tomorrow, when the sacrificial ritual was activated, there would still be a chance to turn the tables.

But once something happened to the main headquarters, everything would be over.

After the order was issued, all the battleships that had been harassing Egula and Dongfang Chen retreated, flying towards the heart of Modo.

"Mr. Dongfang, they've retreated. Should we pursue them?" Techas asked.

"There's no need. Now we don't need to deliberately conceal anything. Concentrate our forces to destroy the Elder Halls," Dongfang Chen said.

More than a hundred Elder Halls were distributed in various areas of Modo. It would take more than a dozen hours to clear them all.

"Mr. Techas, High Priest, I suggest we split up. Divide the battleships into smaller units and launch attacks simultaneously. This would be more efficient."

"Agreed."

"Acceptable."

The two had no objections.

Now that there was no external threat, splitting up was not too risky.

So the Egula side, the Mayan side, the Great Sun Nation side controlled by the Maya, and the Dongfang Chen side each took charge of an area and began a large-scale cleanup.

"Mr. Dongfang, isn't it strange that Modo is letting us destroy these Elder Halls?" Techas asked with some concern.

"They must be planning to sacrifice the pawns to protect the general. Don't worry, as long as we keep a close watch on the movements of their battleships, we can follow the clues and find the location of the altar. Let's hurry up and clear the Elder Halls first, and then make the next plan after we have news."

"Alright!" Techas didn't say anything more.

Now that the remaining 60 battleships of Modo were all converging towards the center, Dongfang Chen knew that their destination must be the altar.

At this time, he still didn't know what form the sacrifice would take, nor what conditions were needed.

In his opinion, clearing the Elder Halls was only to increase the odds of winning. It was hard to say exactly how much it would increase.

Now that the location of the altar had not yet been locked down, this was all he could do.

In order to further increase the odds of winning, he contacted Old Qin again.

It was time for the Chinese army stationed on the border to send troops.

They were not responsible for clearing villages, but directly advanced towards the heart of Modo.

By the time the troops arrived, the location of the altar would basically have been found.

Old Qin also faced great pressure in sending troops this time.

Because the domestic situation in China at this time was very chaotic.

Even though all underground bases had implemented closed management, various conflicts continued to occur, with a growing trend.

"Old Qin, it's time to send troops," Dongfang Chen said succinctly.

"Alright! This time I'll cooperate with you. You say how to fight, and we'll fight how you say!" Old Qin said without hesitation.

He knew that only by destroying Modo could China's problems be fundamentally solved.

So it had to be done, no matter how difficult it was.

"The Northwest Military Region and the Southwest Military Region will advance in two routes towards the heart of Modo. I will open up monitoring permissions to you, just follow the route to advance."

"Alright!"

The two military regions mainly had two types of troops: tanks and battleships.

Their mobility was still acceptable.

The distance from the Chinese border to the core area of Modo exceeded 1000 kilometers.

It was now 18:00 in the evening.

At the speed of tanks, it would take at least 13 hours or so.

The earliest they could arrive would be around six o'clock in the morning the next day.

To be on the safe side, the battleships must set off first. In that case, they could achieve control over the core area by around eight o'clock in the evening.

"Master, China has sent troops!" an elder reminded.

"Good! This saves us the trouble. Notify them to hold their ground as the main strategy. As long as we hold out until 12 o'clock tomorrow, victory will belong to us," the Master said without the slightest fear.
