The reason why Jenn allowed this group of people to 'enter' wasn't purely to deal with them, but also to restrain the Nine Saints.
If these Saints were really one of the trump cards that the Nine Saints had prepared, the Nine Saints would definitely focus their attention on them.
This also explained why the other gods didn't assist Mona in attacking.
It was obvious that this was just a ruse. Perhaps the Nine Saints had more tricks up their sleeves, but as long as this team wasn't destroyed, the Nine Saints would place their hopes on them.
And for Jenn, this was the effect he hoped for.
If Jenn completely destroyed these Saints here, the Nine Saints, who had lost their last resort, would definitely choose to fight to the death with Jenn and stop the ritual at all costs.
On the other hand, if this small team continued to survive, it would at least give the Nine Saints a false impression — of course, as time passed, they would very likely choose to give up and forcefully attack, but before that, they would at least be able to buy some time.
Of course, Jenn wouldn't really let this group of idiots wander around his territory.
Although he made this decision, it didn't mean that he would turn a blind eye to it.
In fact, Jenn had already ordered Tinidale to lead a group of Zerg troops to surround the Saints from all directions, leaving them with nowhere to go … Once they crossed a certain warning line, they would be killed without mercy.
Although this was risky, it was better than letting the Saints take advantage of the situation. Jenn didn't know if this ritual was' destined to succeed 'or' destined to fail 'in the web of fate. This was also the truest portrayal of anyone who was ignorant of the future.
But no matter what, all he could do now was to consider everything and do his best to buy as much time as possible.
The 'advancement' of the Saints' adventurer team was very smooth.
They carefully avoided the patrolling Zerg and climbed up the side of the tall city wall along the safest route they had predicted. If they were just ordinary adventurers, it would be extremely difficult for them to climb up the city wall that was tens of meters tall.
Fortunately, they weren't adventurers that could be found everywhere on the continent. With the help of the divine weapons given to them by the gods, they could easily climb up the tall city walls and sneak in from the other side.
One had to admit that the Nine Saints had invested a lot into this. Just the Sun God Amon's light-refracting cloak was enough to conceal the presence of the Children of God, and even Tinidale could not monitor them at all times.
Fortunately, Jenn's Dungeon system was not to be trifled with. Even if they blocked all detection, they were unable to block the surveillance of the Dungeon system.
The few red dots on the Dungeon System's map were so bright that Zayen did not even need to use his eyes to determine where these people were and what they were doing.
They are circling.
Jenn's stronghold didn't require any rooms, so the roads here were very spacious and could accommodate hundreds of soldiers marching in a row.
On the other hand, there were surprisingly few buildings. Apart from the tall spires, there weren't any buildings that could be used for concealment.
Therefore, the Children of God couldn't hide from the patrols through warehouses, underground sewers, or other messy buildings like their predecessors in the heroic stories. Then, they could sneak in silently and carry out the decapitation tactic.
Perhaps they should consider carrying a cardboard box over their heads?
It was a pity that the Children of God didn't realize that their every move was already under Tinidale's surveillance.
As the Dark Fairy Princess, Tinidale might be lacking in emotional intelligence, but her intelligence was definitely not low.
After Jenn explained the main objective of the mission to her, Tinidale immediately knew what she had to do.
She silently commanded the Bug Race army to surround them from all directions, as though they were patrolling the area. If one were to look down from the sky, one would realize that the Bug Race had already surrounded the Holy Children.
But it was a pity that from the perspective of the Children of God, they would only realize that the Zerg patrols were a little too frequent.
Of course, considering that this was the heart of the enemy's territory, it was only natural that there were so many guards.
Therefore, when they saw the arachnid army waiting for them at the end of the road, they naturally chose to turn left. And when they came to the intersection and saw the Titan arachnids whizzing over, they could only choose to continue turning left … All in all, when they tried to avoid the arachnids' surveillance and advance, they were in fact already far away from the central region.
"I feel that something isn't right."
After evading the Zerg's search once again, the Gnome Mage panted and said. In order to avoid attracting the enemy's attention, he uncharacteristically didn't use his crude and hard Constructs as a means of transportation. This way, it would be very tiring for a Gnome with only two short legs.
"How much longer do we have to walk?
And where exactly is this place?
Have we chosen the right path? "
No one could answer the Gnome Mage's question. Logically speaking, they should be searching for the location of the Destiny Ritual.
But in fact, it was an extremely difficult task. The reason was simple. Because every tower here was exactly the same.
That's right. Jenn didn't build so many towers just for fun.
There was nothing better than trees hiding in the forest to protect oneself.
And it was the same now. He had built nearly a hundred identical Tower of Ten Thousand Spells in the Fortress. This way, at least in terms of appearance, apart from Zayen, no one would be able to tell the difference between them.
Not only that, but Jenn also expended his magical powers to activate the illusory spells on the towers, causing them to appear in the same form.
This also meant that the hundreds of towers were exactly the same as the one Jenn was in, where the Destiny Ritual was activated. Pillars of light soared into the sky and blended into the clouds.
At least on the surface, they were indistinguishable from one another.
This was also another reason why the Nine Saints couldn't launch a forceful attack.
If they could quickly lock onto the activation location of the Destiny Ritual, perhaps the Nine Saints would launch a forceful attack at all costs.
But now, after Jenn used the forest tactic shamelessly, even the Nine Saints couldn't clearly distinguish which was the true location of the Destiny Ritual.
If they rashly barged in under such circumstances, the consequences would be self-evident once they made the wrong choice.
No one responded to the Gnome Mage's words. In fact, the Saints realized that the situation seemed to be more complicated than they had imagined. But now, the only thing they could do was to continue searching … until they found the location of the Destiny Ritual.
Everything went smoothly.
Tinidale nodded in satisfaction when the Holy Children chose another path to pass through the outer perimeter.
But before she thought about what to do next, all of a sudden, a deafening explosion erupted.
What happened?
Upon hearing the loud, violent explosion, Tinidale was taken aback. She turned around hurriedly and gazed in the direction of the sound, only to see a huge, pitch-black mushroom cloud mixed with flames and lightning rising before her.
