"Master, there's news from Miss Elise that the construction of the third area has been completed."
"Good."
Upon hearing Enoya's report, Jenn nodded in satisfaction. Then, he lifted his head and looked ahead.
Standing on the balcony and looking ahead, he saw that the forest in front of him was no longer what it used to be. Tall spires rose into the sky, and there were more than a hundred of them.
In the distance, layers of tall city walls could be seen. The crystals floating around the mage towers shone with a magical radiance, echoing each other and forming a solid barrier.
In less than 10 days, the forest had become a huge fortress, be it on the surface or underground. Of course, this also cost Jenn a lot of money and resources. For this battle, he had almost spent more than half of the assets he had accumulated since arriving on the surface, and the rest was barely enough to maintain the operations of the various troops.
With the Mage Tower as the center, he built a total of five major areas to deal with possible battles.
Besides, Jenn had gathered almost all of his troops, including the main force, the Sky Legion.
In addition, Jenn had also recalled Xenomorphs from the border and placed them in this fortress. The floating fortress was also in place. In addition to the Undead Army led by Frostmourne, Jenn was confident that he had enough forces to resist the possible attacks of the nine saints.
And next was …
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Along with this cheerful voice, Pattilina skipped out from behind, came to Jenn, and greeted him.
Upon hearing Pattilina's voice, Jenn nodded, turned around, and looked at Pattilina.
"That's right. I'm looking for you, Pattilina. You should know why."
Jenn said, flipping over his right hand. Along with this action, golden EXP cards appeared in Jenn's hand. They were the system rewards that Jenn received after eliminating the God of War in the swamp.
And looking at these EXP cards, the little one's eyes glowed.
"It's finally my turn?
Master?
That's great!
I've been waiting for this day for a long time! "
"Frankly, I wanted to let you wait a little longer."
Zayen, on the other hand, looked helpless in the face of Patrina's excited cries.
Just as he said, Jenn originally hoped to use the power of faith to directly transform Pattilina into his dependent.
But time waited for no man. At present, it was impossible for Jenn to get enough power of faith to transform Pattilina.
But now, he could only choose to use the EXP card to break the barrier. This way, at least Pattilina would be strong enough to face the incoming enemies. Of course, the downside was that Jenn needed several times more power of faith than before to transform Pattilina.
If it were in the past, this wouldn't be worth the loss for Jenn.
But considering the upcoming battle, Zayen had no choice but to consider it.
"Don't worry, Master. I can assure you that as long as I recover my original strength, I promise to beat the brains out of those damn gods!"
Facing Jenn's words, Pattilina gave a solemn reply.
Jenn shrugged and didn't say anything else.
It was a good thing that Pattilina was confident. Besides … In fact, Pattilina was the most reliable combat power that he could count on.
She wasn't strong enough to handle a battle of this scale, and Sophina and Agatha needed to stay in the dungeon headquarters. This meant that Jenn could only rely on Tinidor, Enoya, Pattilina, Reemilia, Frandolu, and Frostmourne.
In terms of individual strength, each of them had the ability to challenge the incarnation of the gods — of course, whether they could win or not was another matter, but at least they were the only force under Zayen that would not be instantly killed by the Holy One.
However, it wasn't entirely without problems. Remilia and Frandoru's innate vampiric nature greatly restrained their combat prowess. Even though Zayen had controlled the Tower of Ten Thousand Spells to cover the sky, who knew if the saints would bring any divine artifacts to dispel the darkness.
If that was the case, then Reemilia and Frandolu would be half crippled.
But before that …
"Tinidor, are you sure you don't intend to return to the underworld?"
Jenn couldn't help but ask as he gazed at the Dark Elf Princess who sat quietly beside him.
The Dark Elf Princess had always been following him in his territory, but she had never made any excessive requests.
In fact, Jenn felt that he had let her down. After all, this was his war and Tinidor had nothing to do with it.
"I think you still have a chance to return to the underworld and have some biscuits and tea with Her Majesty the Queen. Then, wait for my good news."
"No need."
Tinidor shook her head upon hearing Jenn's words.
"I should be here to help you. It's my duty. After all, I'm your …"
Tinidale blushed slightly, but for the sake of her own safety, she swallowed those words back down her throat.
Otherwise, she might be struck by a bolt of lightning and forcefully sent back to the underworld.
"Alright, since that's what you think …"
Zayen shrugged in response to Tinidell's words, but his eyes darted around, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Even though Tinidor couldn't summon the Dark Elf Army to help, her presence here was great news to Jenn. Of course, it wasn't only because of the Dark Elf Princess.
"How are things on Aili and Deeris's side?"
"Miss Aili is transferring most of her believers to Parsus. Deeris and Miss Ina have decided to act according to Master's plan and lay low."
Enoya hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Master, you don't intend to recall your believers?"
"It's not the time yet."
Jenn shook his head at Enoya's question.
As the strongest defensive card in his possession, "Disciple" was indispensable. But now, Zayen did not choose to recall it immediately and leave it here.
After all, he wasn't sure if the battle here would be intense enough to require the use of believers.
After all, once both sides went to war, Jenn's identity would no longer be concealed and Parsus might also become the enemy's target.
Therefore, Jenn had to keep a trump card to prevent Parsus from being taken over by the enemy.
"Parsus …"
"Elyse, Einster, and Olfen will be in charge. They should try to find their positions."
"Okay."
Upon hearing Jenn's answer, Enoya nodded, retreated, and remained silent.
At that moment, Jenn turned around, gazed at the excited Pattilina, and said softly.
"Alright then, let's begin …"
Jenn raised his right hand. Shortly after, golden cards emerged from his hand, spread, and turned into a dazzling light that enveloped Pattilina's petite body.
