Over the next two months, the coalition forces of Australia and the Rising Sun Alliance adopted extremely conservative strategies and tactics.
Most of the energy of the entire Nanyang combat group was used to ensure the smooth supply line.
The defense capabilities of the two military bases, Christmas Island and the Cocos Islands, were greatly strengthened. The coalition forces also obtained permission and lease agreements from Indonesia to build more than a dozen permanent military fortresses and supply bases in Bali and the surrounding Nusa Tenggara Islands. With dense missiles, artillery, and magic tower arrays, they ensured the control of the surrounding waters.
This greatly reduced the threat of those legendary sea beasts to the coalition supply fleet. Although seventeen naval battles broke out in succession in two months, they all ended in victory.
Although the coalition forces also won a pyrrhic victory, and the ratio of battle losses was almost no less than that of the enemy, they ensured that their supply ships could safely pass through the waters between Australia and Java Island.
During this period, although the coalition forces successively sent forty integrated divisions to Java Island, they launched only one attack aimed at expanding the depth of the defense. For the rest of the time, the entire combat group could hardly move forward in Sishui.
Almost all the manpower and material resources of the coalition forces were used to enhance their defense capabilities. A huge amount of cement, a large number of prefabricated magic array discs, various types of Longsong Cannons and cannons, and boxes of bullets were continuously sent to Java Island.
The advantage of the Rising Sun Alliance in mages was fully revealed. Temporary or permanent fortresses rose from the ground in a very short period of time. The area around Sishui became a real meat grinder for both sides.
No matter what the intentions of Odin and the gods were, Garcia Ferren firmly believed in two purposes. One was to prevent the spread of war to Australia, and the other was to prevent the manpower and material resources of Java Island from being used by the WanShou Empire.
Therefore, at the current stage, the coalition forces really did not need to rush to expand the battlefront and drive out the WanShou Empire's army. They only needed a solid foothold in Sishui to ensure that it was enough to restrain the millions of WanShou Empire's army, and to ensure that the various resources of this island could not be integrated by the WanShou Empire.
Li Mochen was undoubtedly very satisfied with the strategy adopted by the Nanyang combat group. Garcia Ferren accurately understood his intentions, and adopted the most suitable strategy for them — that was, to hurt the enemy.
In a protracted war, they would consume the enemy's manpower, material resources, and war potential.
In the end, what would decide the outcome of this war would be the control of the skies and the sea. According to the words of Wallace Clayton, who had just recently been promoted to the God of Naval Warfare, as long as they could control the seas and skies, then the WanShou Empire armies scattered across the various continents would be like dead fish lying on the shore, waiting to be slaughtered.
Therefore, apart from continuously expanding the Holy Wing Knight Legion, the Rising Sun Alliance had spent at least 60% of their resources on the sea and the air.
At this time, in America, the Ancient Eastern Country, Korea, and Dongying, almost all the berths were at full capacity. The various orders from the navies of America and Australia, the Churches under the Heavenly Mandate Deities, and the Rising Sun Alliance, which included the sixteen Supreme Sequence families and more than seventy top families, took up almost all the production capacity of these shipyards.
Due to the chaos of war, the economies of all countries suffered heavy losses. However, the heritage of these families was not to be underestimated. America and Australia were developed countries and were currently one of the most stable and peaceful regions in the world. The bonds and currencies they issued were recognized by the market. This caused the military industries of all countries to experience abnormal prosperity, and the overall unemployment rate did not rise but fell.
In terms of the current intensity of the war, it was not enough to make them feel pressured.
It was also in consideration of depleting the war potential of the WanShou Empire that in July of Year 4000 of the Radiant Calendar, the Federation of America, driven by domestic forces, accepted the invitation of the countries of South America and sent millions of troops across the border into Brazil and Bolivia. In the middle of South America, the long war with the WanShou Empire began.
On one hand, this was due to the promotion of the Heavenly Mandate Church; on the other hand, the South American countries gave the Federation of America and the many capitalists in the Federation of America extremely favorable conditions.
Of course, the main reason was that America, from top to bottom, hated the loss of Argentina and Paraguay.
And these two wars in the South Pacific and South America also caused Li Mochen to receive a huge amount of war source power.
At this time, Li Mochen had promoted all of his Priesthood to Godhood 18. But this still could not avoid the waste of this source power. His Overgod Godhood, Destiny, limited the growth of other Priesthoods, so he could not accept this huge amount of war source power.
Therefore, after Li Mochen completed the sword case of the Zhou Tian Lei Mars Core Sword Formation, he began to purify Genghis Khan's pair of Supreme War Spears, namely, the Harathurugin and the Chagansurugin, and refine them into powerful divine weapons that could be used.
Li Mochen originally intended to use them as materials to refine the bullets of the Gun of Destiny, but in the end, he could not bear to part with the Faith Force gathered by the Harathurugin and the Chagansurugin.
Due to Genghis Khan's legendary record of conquering more than half of the world with this pair of war spears, it had become a legend of this world and was respected and worshipped by many people. This made the Supreme War Spear itself have a powerful source of divine power, and changing its form was undoubtedly a reckless waste of God's gifts.
And just as he began to purify the bloodline imprint of this pair of powerful weapons and began to integrate his own spirit into it. An invitation that he had long expected made his main body, who was studying various laws, including Destiny, temporarily leave Inferno and Angela's side, and come to a beach in southwestern America.
Here, a woman with a high nose, deep eyes, and brown skin was waiting for him.
Li Mochen's eyes also slightly narrowed. "Your Highness Isis!"
There was a hint of respect in his tone, just because this woman was indeed worthy of his admiration and fear.
Omitting her great achievements in the era of the Nine Pillar Gods of Egypt, just the experience and strategy of this woman before and after the first year of the Radiant Calendar was enough to leave an eternal mark in the mysterious history of this world.
When the faith of the Sun God Amon rose and the Greek gods borrowed the power of the powerful Roman Empire to substantially intervene in the Egyptian region, this person could assist Horus in turning the tables in a desperate situation. Starting from a Jew who escaped from Egypt, he almost unified the Western faith in the end.
This Holy Mother's wisdom and talent was respected by all the gods and the World of Mana.
Moreover, she was also a powerful God of Life, Earth, Death, Magic, Marriage, Secrecy, and Fertility.
Her main Divine Title of Life was as high as 20, and in the aspect of Earth, because she inherited the power of the God of Earth, Geb, she also reached the level of 20, and had the authority of Earth, second only to Gaia and Rhea.
Even in terms of combat power, she also had the strength to suppress the power of Li Mochen.
In the aspect of magic, the power of Isis was also extremely powerful. If the mages of this world had not been recognized as heretics by the Church of Light after the Middle Ages, and this woman had also left this world more than a thousand years ago, Diana would never have been able to complete the establishment of the magic network and enter the extreme of pseudo-truth.
In fact, at least four of the seven deaths of this Goddess of Magic were killed by the hands of Isis.
"Your Majesty Wildenstein!"
Isis smiled and also returned the greeting. Her voice, words, and posture all gave people the feeling of spring.
Her smile was also different from Apollo's and Lorde's. It was a smile that could truly make people put down their guard and vigilance, and it made people feel that it was full of sincerity.
"You should have guessed why I am here, right? For the source, and for the Thorn of Origin. "
"You are asking me to betray Gaia."
Before saying this, Li Mochen felt the divine power of Isis spread out, sealing off Gaia's senses.
This showed how powerful Isis was. Li Mochen and Gaia shared the source, which meant that the connection between them was very difficult to break, especially when Gaia's name was mentioned.
Even if Li Mochen wanted to do something without Gaia, he would have to make some preparations and spend a lot of effort. But Isis did it with a wave of her hand.
"It's not really a betrayal, is it? I know that the alliance between you and Gaia is not a true offensive and defensive alliance. Besides, the Mother Goddess also cares more about her direct descendants in the Olympian pantheon, even if Zeus has always been hesitant. "
Isis's voice was pleasant to the ear. "Won't you hear our conditions? Insert 300 'Thorns of Origin' in Australia and the south coast of America, and we will give you 10% of the source. Take note, this is the true authority over the world's source core, not a form of sharing. "
Li Mochen's reaction was very calm. "But this contract will push me and my pantheon into an unknown future. I can't be sure if you will abide by the agreement, and this authority will be taken away by one of you sooner or later, right? Rather than that, I prefer to remain neutral, or support Gaia. "
"Even if this will make you an obstacle that all parties must remove before killing Gaia?" Isis smiled. "Your Majesty Wildenstein, you should know the consequences of rejecting us, right?"
Li Mochen's aura instantly became cold. "Your Highness Isis, I will not be afraid, nor will I succumb to your threats."
This was not only because he had recently completed the refinement of many mythical equipment, but also because his regular military force had greatly expanded.
Currently, the Divine Wing Knights had expanded to four divisions, and there were 2000 backup knights. There were also six Divine Warrior legions in the Divine Kingdom, which gave him enough confidence and confidence.
In addition, two more worlds in the Original Sky Realm had recently completed their fusion, which gave Li Mochen a huge amount of merit as high as 130 million strands, increasing the merit on the Divine Firmament Purple Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune to 300 million strands. Although there was still a long way to go before the fifth strand, it could maintain a high-intensity battle between God Kings.
And this power was enough to make his enemies think twice before acting.
He did not intend to give up everything for that person, and in the end, be surrounded and killed by several God Kings, but he did have the capital to wait and see the situation.
The so-called promise of giving him the true authority of the source was actually an empty promise.
If these God Kings who were plotting against Gaia were only willing to use this bit of bargaining chip to make him turn against Gaia, it would be a complete humiliation to him.
"Then what about 15%? You only need to provide us with some help, and you can obtain 15% of the original core authority. "
Li Mochen directly sneered. "Your Highness Isis, you are trying to make me die!"
Isis looked at him for a long time, then shook her head slightly. "As expected, it won't work! But before coming, I could roughly guess Your Highness's attitude. After all, your reputation has always been very good. "
Li Mochen thought to himself that this was a big mistake. He himself had no need to remain loyal to Gaia. If he could add a 'sefirah' that could protect his life in addition to the authority, it was not impossible to persuade him. But then he heard Isis's tone change. "So I actually came here to persuade Your Highness to remain neutral in our battle against Gaia."
"Neutral?" Li Mochen looked at Isis thoughtfully.
"It is absolute neutrality! Neutrality that will not be swayed by any of Gaia's conditions. "
Isis's lips curled up slightly. "And I believe that my bargaining chip is also enough to tempt you. As long as you do not participate in the upcoming battle, then the condition of the previous 10% of the original core authority will not change. Once we emerge victorious in this battle for [Origin], Horus promises to give you 40% of the [Origin]'s authority and share it with you. "
Li Mochen only felt that this was ridiculous. Giving him 40% of the source authority? Didn't that mean that the God of Light did not intend to advance to the God of Gods?
He also keenly noticed that this person's words were strange. "In other words, this is a private agreement between me, you, and the God of Light, right? But I am actually very curious. What benefits does Gaia's death have for you? I guess that Your Highness and the God of Light understand that once Gaia is lost, you will be the first target that they have to eliminate no matter what. You can't be relying on Satan, who is the true body of 'Osiris', right? "
Osiris, Isis's husband, Horus' father, the King of Hades in the Age of the Nine Pillars of Egypt.
Although the existence of 'Satan' had long been born before the Light Calendar, Li Mochen still managed to see through this person's true body from various secret books.
Even in the Abyss, this person had always insisted on his duties as the King of Hades, as the father of Horus. He had always been in the Abyss accepting souls that were not recognized by the Kingdom of Heaven, and let them die in the civil war of the Abyss Demons.
"Of course it can't be him. Horus and I both owe Osiris. He will provide us with a certain degree of help, but he can't directly intervene. Moreover, Gaia has long been on guard against him. Wasn't the reason why Lucifer was able to continue to exist after betraying Horus and was able to divide the Abyss, all for today? "
Isis shook her head. "The bargaining chip that we can really rely on is you, Your Majesty Wildenstein."
Li Mochen couldn't help but laugh. "You don't think that these words and those absurd conditions can convince me, do you? Isis — "
But before he finished speaking, he paused, because at this time, Isis took out an item from her sleeve.
It was a piece of earth-yellow crystal that was so dazzling that Li Mochen could hardly look at it directly. The magic energy that gushed out of it had completely materialized. Li Mochen could also sense the will of this world's desire for the item in Isis's hand.
This was an original core that was enough to give birth to a large world!
Isis quickly put away the item and smiled at the same time. "How should I put it? Due to the financing of various investors, the foundation of this company called the World of Light has become even stronger. At some point in the future, it will be enough to accommodate a second 'God of Gods'. And Your Majesty Wildenstein, you have such an opportunity. "
"You have shaken my heart, Your Highness Isis."
Li Mochen was indeed in a state where he couldn't control his mind. He had to continuously take deep breaths to barely suppress the growing greed in his heart.
"But as far as I know, you and Your Majesty Horus don't have a very good reputation. Let's not talk about the ancient Egyptian gods, just talk about Lucifer, who was promised by your beloved son to be the vice ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven — "
"Horus's handling of Ishtar is indeed a little inappropriate."
Isis smiled. "But I believe that a strict source contract is enough to protect the interests of both sides. Other than that, let me give you another piece of information. I know that Your Majesty Wildenstein really needs source substances, right? I happen to know the location of a source substance. But if you want to obtain it, you need the right time. For example, when all the gods in this world have no time to spare — "
