After analyzing the situation, Li Mu posted his speculation on the official forum of Elven Nation.
After reading his comments, many veteran players of 'Elf Nation' agreed with him.
Unlike the players who stirred up trouble in the human countries, the Eternal Church had gone into hiding and the main forces of the noble alliance army had been defeated by the players on the battlefield. Those local forces alone could not resist the players who had joined forces with civilians, adventurers, and mercenaries.
But it was different now.
It was the main forces of the Eternal Church that had come to attack the Elven Forest. Whether it was in terms of average level or powerhouses, the other side was superior to the Eternal Church. Even at the level of a true god, no one knew if the Eternal Lord would cast God's Descent at the critical moment.
At this time, the players could no longer control the situation of the battle by themselves.
If they could, they had to fight a defensive battle.
Among all the cities, the City of Heaven's Chosen was the most firmly managed by the players. At the same time, they could borrow the power of the goddess to the greatest extent.
Fighting a defensive battle in the City of Heaven's Chosen was indeed a good choice.
Under Li Mu's call, except for some player guilds who did not believe in heresy, the major player guilds gave up the ambush and returned to the City of Heaven's Chosen. They began to build defensive fortifications around the City of Heaven's Chosen.
And those guilds who did not believe in heresy finally gave up the idea of defeating the Eternal Church's army by ambushing after repeated failures.
However, in the process of ambushing, the players also discovered something useful.
That was, although they could not defeat the Eternal Church's army by force with their own strength, they could still buy some time.
So after a discussion among the higher-ups, the players finally decided to constantly interfere, harass, and obstruct the Eternal Church's army on their way to delay their arrival at the City of Heaven's Chosen.
After all, it took time to prepare for battle, and the more time they had, the longer the preparation period, and the more solid the City of Heaven's Chosen would be.
Of course, it was much simpler to just delay.
They could just take off their equipment and die. After all, they could be resurrected.
So the Eternal Church's army was faced with such a comical scene …
A group of elves bathed in holy light raised their crude weapons and charged at them while howling. They used all their strength to throw out a consummate skill that could exhaust all their magic or physical strength, and then died.
Because of this, a lot of time was delayed.
At the same time, in the City of Heaven's Chosen, the players were bustling with activity as they prepared for battle with all their might.
The mages drew all kinds of defensive magic circles, the priests strengthened the defensive barriers with divine spells, and the warriors and druids worked together to build the city walls.
It was worth mentioning that the City of Heaven's Chosen previously had no city walls.
Although there were city walls in the beginning, as the number of players increased, the original plan had been scrapped along with the continuous expansion of the city.
However, this wasn't a problem for the highly efficient players.
As long as they wanted to do it, they could erupt with unprecedented mobility at any time.
The construction of the city walls was not a problem.
Although the army of the eternal overlords had already entered the Elven Forest, the movement of an army of a million was still slow.
In addition, with the players, especially the low-level players as the main force of the death squads, they wouldn't be able to reach the City of Heaven's Chosen in ten days to half a month.
This period of time was enough for the players to complete the construction of the city walls.
Not to mention, the players had tricked a group of coolies from Dragon Island to transport construction materials, provide magic, and so on. The Megalosaurus were all experts.
Today, Eve's identity had been completely exposed, and the City of Heaven's Chosen naturally didn't need to prohibit other creatures from approaching. Therefore, Megalosaurus, Dwarves, and even humans could be seen occasionally in the city.
After receiving news that the Eternal Church's army was marching toward the City of Heaven's Chosen, in addition to the Megalosaurus from Dragon Island, the Silent City Alliance loyal to Death God Hella also sent reinforcements to the City of Heaven's Chosen at the first opportunity.
With the teleportation circle, the underground world's allied forces were much faster than the Eternal Church's army. The reinforcements, with the Dark Dwarves as the main force, quickly arrived under the World Tree.
They brought a lot of excellent equipment and high-quality magic stones for the players.
At the same time, more and more players returned to the City of Heaven's Chosen after receiving the mission. The players who were usually scattered all over the world returned to help, making the entire city more lively and crowded.
For a time, the City of Heaven's Chosen was very lively, far more than before.
The only bad thing was that the price of meat in the City of Heaven's Chosen had skyrocketed recently.
It couldn't be helped. There seemed to be too many big lizards that came to make a living. Every day, one could see a big guy wandering in the sky. The farms set up by the players were almost completely eaten up.
But it wasn't without benefits. Recently, the various dragon scales that the players traded were completely cheap.
The price of dragon scales plummeted. Some rich players' dreams of having a full body dragon scale armor could be realized almost overnight.
Even dragon blood could be obtained as long as one was willing to put in a little effort. Many warrior players even realized their wish of bathing in dragon blood, and their physique was greatly improved.
As for … dragon saliva, dragon dung, and so on.
Damn, it was almost like picking it up for free. They didn't even want it.
When new players went out to do missions, they could pick up one or two piles of dragon dung on the ground, and some were still fresh and hot.
Many players even lost their interest in the game.
After all, instead of having time to pick up big dung in the corners, it was better to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with the big guys and lick them more.
Licking dogs could lick everything they wanted, and they might be able to trick some big guy into signing a Megalosaurus partnership contract.
That would be a really big gain.
In short, as the prelude to the great battle approached, the forces standing on the side of the Life Church sent reinforcements one after another, and the entire City of Heaven's Chosen became more and more noisy.
And as time passed, the construction site of the City of Heaven's Chosen's fortifications was also in full swing, changing almost every day.
At the same time, the application of new technology researched by some big shots of the players also gradually transformed this player city that was first established.
In particular, the introduction of magic gemstone-related technology allowed the entire City of Heaven's Chosen to have a magic power network like a Bluestar power grid.
Coupled with the heavy magic crystal cannons, rechargeable magic guns, and so on, which the Mengmeng Committee's Magic Technology Research Center had tinkered with, the defensive firepower of the entire City of Heaven's Chosen had almost taken a qualitative leap.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the big blocks floating in the sky above the city.
That was the 2.0 version of the zeppelin that the players had improved using magic gemstones on the basis of the zeppelin airships. It strengthened the basic magic defense system and the divine defense system, and had faster speed, stronger defense, and more powerful firepower.
The players had tinkered with no less than thirty of these big blocks. They had originally planned to use them in the decisive battle with the aristocratic allied army, but they hadn't expected that the aristocratic allied army would be so lame that the players hadn't even used this secret weapon before the other party was GG.
And according to the design team of the airship, their final idea was to create the magic floating city in those fantasy novels …
Of course, the distance between the airship and the floating city was still very far.
But in terms of the players' own combat strength, in addition to their own continuous improvement in strength and the increasing number of players, with all kinds of strange equipment in place, the overall strength of the players' side had undoubtedly increased significantly.
Looking at the City of Heaven's Chosen changing day by day, the players' confidence gradually increased.
However, the high-level players of the players' several major guilds, the veteran players who had entered the pit as soon as the server opened and experienced great battles time and time again were very clear-headed.
Speaking of which, from the beginning of this Great Holy War until now, the highest level that had appeared was only a Legend, and they hadn't really made a move.
Gold, or even those below Gold, no matter how strong their individual strength was, they could be overwhelmed by numbers.
Therefore, the experience of the Great Holy War so far was completely incomparable to the battles to come.
Legends and demigods were the greatest enemies that the players wanted to win in this war.
And it was unknown what effect the players' various preparations would have in the face of such enemies.
In the end, it still depended on whether the goddess's divine defense barrier was strong enough.
From this point of view, the various preparations that the players had made in the City of Heaven's Chosen were also based on the premise that the goddess, or rather the NPCs, could help fight against the enemies that the players couldn't fight against.
If the players didn't have to worry about those high-level combat forces, then their various preparations would be more effective to the maximum.
And regarding this, there were discussions and speculations among the high-level players.
Most people still had considerable confidence in the goddess's strength. Many players believed that since the goddess had taken the initiative to open the road to the City of Heaven's Chosen, then she was confident that she could defeat the enemy in the City of Heaven's Chosen.
This was also the mainstream view.
Of course, many people also felt that this design was very problematic. After all … the Elven Forest's terrain was complex. Even if they planned to fight the final battle in the City of Heaven's Chosen, it seemed that there was no need to take the initiative to open the road and let the army of the Eternal Overlords slowly attack.
After all, the other player's main cities and elf cities also had divine defense barriers. If the Eternal Overlords opened the road themselves, they would have to take the main roads and pass through these areas.
In this way, after one battle after another, not only could they delay time, but they could also consume the enemy's strength. Why not?
It could even be said that if they did this, there might not even be a need for the final battle in the City of Heaven's Chosen. Perhaps a player's main city or an elf's main city could send the enemy back.
It wasn't as if everyone didn't know that the goddess could send down a divine avatar. Could the army of the Eternal Church defeat the avatar of the goddess?
Back then, the goddess had relied on her avatar to go on a killing spree, killing the evil gods one by one in a panic. In the end, the scenes of the evil gods dying or being sealed were still hanging on the bullet screen video network!
Regarding this issue, it wasn't just some players who had doubts.
In the God's Kingdom, the Fairy Queen, Fennel, who had been assisting Eve in managing the game system and had also been paying attention to the entire Great Holy War, was also puzzled.
"Your Holiness, why do you want to meet the enemy in the City of Heaven's Chosen? As many players have said, it seems that we don't need to hold the final battle in the City of Heaven's Chosen.
"Moreover, with your strength, you can completely annihilate the army of the Eternal Church.
"I've never understood these two questions. I think you must have deeper considerations, but the slow-witted me can't see through your thoughts. Please enlighten me."
Looking at Eve, who was sitting high on the throne, Fennel asked doubtfully and respectfully.
However, Eve only shook her head slightly.
"No, Fennel.
"In this final battle, the showdown between the armies is only the surface. The real battle is ultimately a confrontation between legends.
"Since the Lord of Eternity announced the Holy War, it means that he's already prepared to fight with me. So … it doesn't matter where the final battle is. In the end, it will probably still happen where my main body is, which is the City of Heaven's Chosen."
Hearing Eve's words, Fennel was deep in thought.
She thought for a moment and asked again.
"But, why do you want to open a path for the enemy? Why don't you use the delaying tactics that the players liked so much?
"Because … the intensity is different."
Eve sighed slightly.
"Intensity?"
Fennel tilted her head.
Eve nodded slightly and looked in the direction of the Eternal army. Her gaze was deep.
"I can sense that there are many powerful auras hidden in the army of the Eternal Church … Iteo has probably been preparing for this battle for a long time.
"A conventional delaying battle is probably useless. There's only the possibility of crushing them.
"If such a high-intensity battle drags on, I'm afraid it will cause serious damage to the recovering world of Segers.
"And I don't want this world to be hurt anymore.
"That's why, since the final battle is going to start, let's start it at the final battle. I'm also prepared for it."
Hearing Eve's words, Fennel, the Queen of Fairies, widened her eyes. Her face was filled with admiration and gratitude.
"Your Holiness Goddess, Fennel admires your benevolence and kindness!"
"No, Fennel, I'm not as noble as you think."
Eve smiled gently.
As she spoke, she looked at the map of Segers transformed by Divine Power in the God's Kingdom and sighed.
"I just don't want the plane that's about to become mine to be damaged because of a battle."
Fennel was slightly taken aback.
She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became excited.
"Your Holiness Goddess … Could it be … Could it be that you're already prepared?"
Eve smiled slightly and didn't explain further.
That's right.
Her fusion with the origin of Segers had been successfully completed not long ago with the help of the core fragment of the Pantheon temple.
And with the cover of the core fragment of the Pantheon temple, this operation wasn't exposed.
Next, as long as she expelled the faith of the Lord of Eternity that was rooted in the world of Segers, and at that moment, she could use the weakening power of the other party's faith to overthrow the suppression of the Pantheon temple on the world of Segers. Then, she could officially begin the fusion of the Segers plane.
Fusion of the plane, or rather, engulfing the plane … Taking the plane into her own body.
This was a sign of progress towards the next state under the World Tree.
And that would also be Eve's first step towards becoming a greater Divine Power.
