Although he was going to wrestle with the Asgard Gods again, Li Mochen no longer needed to appear in person at the beginning of the war.
Currently, he had many gods and mages under his command. In terms of the main god ranks, he had more than any ancient god system. Although most of them were Gods of Faith and Laws. But before their faith was extinguished and their laws were cut off, they still had God-level combat power. In a three-to-one or four-to-one situation, they still had the ability to fight against the ancient gods of the same level.
In the second month of the year 4000 of the Radiant Calendar, when the whole world was in chaos, the WanShou Empire's army of two million landed on Sumatra under the protection of four thousand sea beasts.
In the end, they chose Indonesia as the direction of attack, and not Malaysia, which was closer to the ancient civilization in the north.
What caught people's attention was that this time, the WanShou Empire no longer used ancient sailing ships, but twenty-five ten-thousand-ton amphibious landing ships, as well as a large number of modern transport ships. Among them were two battleships, seventeen destroyers, an unknown number of submarines, and thousands of landing assault boats.
This was not surprising. As far as Li Mochen knew, most of the South African fleet had fallen into the hands of the WanShou Empire.
However, according to Heydrich's intelligence, there were at least six newly built warships used by the WanShou Empire.
In addition, their army also had a large number of modern firearms and heavy artillery.
This could not be ignored. Li Mochen already knew that time was not on their side. The power of Odin and the WanShou Empire was also growing day by day.
However, even though the situation was so bad, Li Mochen still held it in until the war spread to Kalimantan and Sulawesi three months later. The Indonesian government issued a formal request for help and agreed to a series of conditions set by the Rising Sun Light-Magic Alliance and Australia. Only then did they officially send their troops to participate in the war.
This could not be considered as taking advantage of the situation. After all, to start a war with the WanShou Empire, an empire with millions of outsiders, any power or empire would have to pay a huge price.
The Australian and Li Mochen's forces were limited by geographical factors, and they had no choice but to join in and stop the WanShou Empire from expanding. However, he could not sacrifice a large number of soldiers' lives and resources for nothing. In the end, he could only defend Indonesia's territory for the God of Light.
The war between the two sides first happened on Java Island. This was a standard side attack. A total of 850,000 soldiers, two divisions of the Holy Wing Knight Regiment, were sent to the south side of the most populated island in the world.
Alas, the WanShou Empire had long since been prepared for this. Before they even landed, tens of thousands of Legendary Beasts had already attacked them from the surface.
This large-scale naval battle lasted for three days and three nights.
The WanShou Empire might be extremely powerful in the seas, but the Australian side had the geographical advantage. In the northwest of Australia, the Christmas Island and Cocos Islands, the two main military bases were heavily fortified with missiles, along with seven hundred and fifty 'Valiant' fighter jets, as well as six hundred bombers. All of that gave the landing fleet a powerful support.
In the end, these Legendary Beasts retreated from the battlefield, leaving behind a total of one thousand and three hundred corpses. However, the losses of the joint landing fleet were no less than that of the WanShou Empire.
They had one battleship sunk, as many as seven cruisers and fifteen destroyers destroyed. There were also three hundred Legendary Beasts and Nagas who died.
After that, when they were forced to land, their landing ships were also fiercely attacked by the shore-based artillery. Just the various assault landing ships alone, they had lost one hundred and forty-seven ships. Nearly fifty thousand soldiers were buried at the bottom of the sea before they landed, and another forty-seven thousand soldiers died on the beach.
An even greater blow came after they landed. The WanShou Empire deployed a million troops to attack from the east and the west, turning the East Java Province's capital, Sishui, into a meat grinder.
The WanShou Empire warriors were able to easily adapt to the various gunpowder weapons. What was even more frightening was that once they entered melee combat, they would be far more powerful than ordinary magical professionals. One of their warriors could often be used against two or three people.
Although the commanders of the allied forces at all levels tried their best to use firearms and long-range weapons to solve the problem, because of the harassment of the sea beasts. The logistical supply routes of the allied forces were not very smooth, and weapons and ammunition were always in a state of shortage.
The only thing they could rely on now was their advantage in terms of top-notch combat power. Most of the six Archangel Kings under Li Mochen were not part of the Treaty of Separation of Humans and Gods, so they could unleash their power on the battlefield.
Correspondingly, although there were some Gods in the Aesir Divine System who hadn't signed the Treaty of Separation of Humans and Gods, their levels were generally lower, and the highest was only at the level of a Powerful God. Fenrir and the others could easily suppress them.
However, the Church of Destiny was limited by their teachings. Regardless of whether it was the clergy or the angels walking on earth, they couldn't ignore the civilians around the battlefield and those cities. The most populous island in the world, with an area of 1.3 million square kilometers, accommodated more than two billion people. The density of the population was extremely exaggerated in the world.
This also caused Robert and the others to be tied up in the war, unable to use their full strength. Especially in those urban battles, they were usually in a state of powerlessness.
"Damn the Indonesian government, damn Nugelo!"
After a battle, Hazel angrily returned to Li Mochen's Divine Kingdom, the Hometown of Destiny. The person she was cursing was the current president of the Indonesian government.
"If he had asked for help earlier, how could the situation have gotten so bad?"
"You're wrong about him, Miss Hazel. Nugelo's intention to ask for help had been there since the beginning of the war, but due to various reasons, he couldn't carry it out. So, Odin, the ancient god of war, was indeed worthy of his reputation. This situation in Java should have been the result of various parties, the will of the gods. The Aesir Pantheon took advantage of the situation and turned this island into a trap that we had no choice but to step into. A meat grinder to wear down the strength of the Church of Destiny's army. "
Garcia Fellen, who had also come to report to Li Mochen, frowned. "Your Majesty, I think they can actually wipe out all of our landing forces in one fell swoop. The reason they haven't done so is to entice us to put in more power. Also, Australia's defense is already weakening. We have to guard against this. "
"I know! But if we sit back and watch Java and Sumatra fall into their hands, isn't it a terrible choice? The flames of war will eventually enter Australia, and they can still gain billions of people to support their industry and faith. Although Indonesia's industrial capacity is weak, it's not like they don't have it. "
Li Mochen looked at the military map in front of him. "Since they want to lure the enemy in, then let's do as they wish. Let's see if their open pockets can wrap around the knives we hand over. "
Although he was heartbroken at the huge casualties this would bring, the current situation was not the time to be soft-hearted.
Li Mochen was not without confidence. Not long ago, in the two months since the WanShou Empire invaded Indonesia, the Fourth Division of the Divine Wing Knights had already completed its initial formation.
Just ten days ago, the Ancient Eastern Country provided 3,000 powerful warriors as' volunteers', joining his' Divine Wing Knight Regiment 'in the form of mercenaries. This was undoubtedly a shot in the arm, allowing his scarce talent pool to be greatly replenished.
In addition, the Rising Sun Lightwell's arrangements in that country had also begun to take effect. The hundreds of factories and large amounts of raw materials were continuously being converted into all kinds of weapons and war machines, enriching their army. The Ancient Eastern Nation was able to provide them with 300 Valiant Fighters, which had Demigod level attack capabilities, every month. In the entire world, there were only 500 Valiant Fighters of the same level produced at the moment.
Although the technology of that country was slightly behind, it had the most complete industrial range in the world. In this era where the basic industries of America had moved abroad, there was no doubt that it was the world's most powerful industrial country.
And the advanced fighter and armor casting technology of the Light and Magic Industry was opening the valve of this' giant oil well '.
And when Li Mochen was still a mortal, he would definitely be condemned by the public opinion and political circles of America, and he would definitely be labeled as a 'traitor'.
But now, no one would do this, and no one dared to do so. As a powerful god who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zeus and Odin, his existence and vision had already surpassed that of a country.
And if in the end, he had to rely on numbers to solve the problem, then this country could provide him with more than 10 million 'volunteers' at any time.
At the beginning of their country, the war with America had already proved their war potential. This was also Li Mochen's biggest and most reliable backing.
Unless the gods and immortals of the Ancient Eastern Nation also intended to participate in this world's' god of gods' competition.
This possibility was not high. Although those great gods and emperors left their legacies in this world, most of them existed in the form of projections. Even if they wanted to intervene, it was too late.
Apart from that, the country and divine system called Dongying also felt a chill because of the destruction of England. At this time, they also reached an agreement with the Xuri Corporation and the Church of Destiny. This country would provide a certain amount of manpower and financial support to ease their financial pressure.
The same thing happened to Korea, a vassal state completely under the protection of America. Under the oppression of the WanShou Empire's army, they felt even more insecure. In terms of the proportion of their financial income, the financial support was even higher than that of Dongying.
"But in this way, we may have to pay a huge price. Your Majesty, you must be mentally prepared."
Then Jessie asked tentatively, "Your Majesty! I roughly know that Odin and Eris worked together to promote the war in order to increase the Force of war. The more battles and disputes there are in this world, the stronger their power will be. When the war covers every corner of this world, sooner or later they will obtain the power to overwhelm the gods. But Zeus, the Night Goddess, and the God of Light, why did they do that? Allow the war and disputes to spread? "
This was related to their judgment of the future direction of the war. As the God of Strategy, Jessie had to understand the situation in Australia.
"Let me explain," Heydrich answered.
It was Heydrich who answered him. "Everything they did was against Gaia. Just a few days ago, His Highness Robert was ordered to launch a raid on several Aesir temples in South Afrika and found this thing there."
What he displayed in front of the gods was a rod-shaped object that looked like a giant spear, but its length was extremely exaggerated.
"Our mages have already identified this thing. They call it the 'Thorn of Origin.'"
"Thorn of Origin?"
Jessie's eyes narrowed slightly. "What is its use? It sounds like it targets the Source Core? "
"It is a creation specially used to force Gaia out from the Source Core. Ever since the second world collision, Her Highness has been entrenched in the depths of the Source Core. Her existence is like a cancer in the Source Core — "
Before Heydrich finished speaking, Li Mochen let out a light cough. This was a signal for his subordinate to maintain respect for Gaia.
Gaia could hear the conversation here, and they were currently allies.
But at the same time, Li Mochen felt gratified. He knew that most of his subordinates planned to use the Mandate Gods as a stepping stone.
The reason why these people worshipped him as the God of Gods was to survive this era of war between the gods.
Once Gaia became a true god of gods and had no intention of continuing to tolerate the Mandate Gods, most of these gods would abandon him like a broken shoe.
There were very few gods like Heydrich who did not care about Gaia and the future.
"In short, this thing can force Gaia's divine body to withdraw from the Source Core."
Heydrich continued to explain, "Sir Jessie should have guessed it, right? These few parties must have reached some kind of agreement. The information we've gathered has confirmed this point. In Indonesia, India, England, and South Africa, the followers of the God of Light aren't being oppressed too much. Odin and Nix are mainly attacking the English gods, Buddhism, and Sindhi. Zeus did not participate because of his ancient covenant with Gaia. He could not challenge Gaia directly. This is a trick of retreating in order to advance. The only thing he did not expect was that His Majesty's appearance would give Gaia a new pillar of support. And then there is Ahura. He has a fundamental conflict with the God of Light, and they cannot coexist. I still have to find a way to confirm whether this person is participating in the cooperation. "
Then he looked at Li Mochen. "But if they want to target Gaia, there is a variable that must be resolved!"
"His Majesty and Gaia do not have any other covenant outside of the Source Core, but they have common interests. If they do not intend to win His Majesty over or give compensation, there is only one solution. "
Jessie Fellen was deep in thought. "I think I know what to do next. Later, I will come up with a more detailed strategy with your generals."
Obviously, once these few parties reached an agreement. Then their power in the mortal world would definitely be the target of their joint attack.
This also meant that they had to adopt a more conservative strategy.
