Chapter 158 Mantis's Situation

The Great Prophet of Mantis Mantis is one of the few three demigods in the Mantis civilization.

In fact, before the variant civilization invaded Mantis, Mantis had a total of five demigods!

It was just that with the arrival of the variant civilization, the war broke out suddenly.

The Mantis civilization, which had no idea about the variant creatures, suffered a series of setbacks in the initial stage of the war.

Not only the Jade Blade Insect Tribe, but also the previous patriarch was calculated and parasitized by the variant civilization creatures, and the great prince who went to support the Jade Blade Insect Tribe was caught off guard and was seriously injured by the demigod-level Jade Blade leader who suddenly turned against him. He died after returning to the Mantis continent within a few years.

It can be said that the current predicament of Mantis is completely in the initial stage. Because of the unclear enemy situation, the two demigods' deaths are inseparable.

By the time the Mantis plane reacted, the Eastern Curtis continent had already fallen one after another and lost most of its territory.

Countless Jade Blade Zergs were reduced to parasites, becoming a hotbed for the variant civilization to split and expand.

Only a few Jade Blade Zergs led many other tribes in the East Continent Curtis to migrate to the Central Continent after being defeated.

And this wave of East Continent tribes that retreated to the Central Mantis Continent not only brought back more information about the variant civilization, but also brought a lot of war supplies.

This plane war that lasted for more than two hundred years, after the East Continent fell in less than ten years, fell into a stalemate in the Central Continent for two hundred years.

And the price was formed by a lot of fresh lives and a lot of bones.

According to incomplete statistics, before the war, the total population of Mantis civilization was about 30 billion.

Reaching the extraordinary level and being able to form intermediate magic apprentices and above, the number of effective combat power is no less than 5 million, and the life level above level 1 is no less than 300,000.

Today, after the plane war, the total population of Mantis has dropped to 20 billion, and only less than 4 million can form effective combat power.

The main force of creatures above level 1 is also in deficit, with only more than 200,000.

More than 200 years of war have already suppressed the potential of Mantis civilization to the limit, and it has begun to fall into a situation where income is not enough to cover expenses.

Whether it is the number of new strong men or the birth of new population, they can no longer keep up with the number of deaths.

Although literally speaking, the population loss is only 10 billion, it should be clear that this is more than 200 years later. How many new people have been born and how many people have died in the meantime?

Even the great prophet of Mantis civilization today is very secretive about this.

All you can see is a battlefield full of gunpowder.

The entire front line of defense, with the command base as the center, is distributed with 36 fortresses interlaced and supporting each other throughout the southeast war zone.

Now, after seven of them were taken down in succession, the pressure on defense suddenly increased greatly, and it was time to slowly move the defense line back.

"What stage has the second line of defense reached now?"

The voice was a little old, but it had a magical power that could relieve people's emotions.

In front of him, the third-level male mantis man, who was originally worried and nervous about the current situation on the battlefield, miraculously regained his composure after hearing the Great Prophet's question.

With reverent eyes, he looked up at the Great Prophet with an extremely respectful expression: "Great Prophet, General Morik notified us to buy him another ten years..."

"...Ten years."

With worried eyes, he murmured.

Looking at this command base on the front line, where a large section of the wall had collapsed, countless creatures from the Mantis plane, one after another, used human walls and their own lives to resist this wave of attacks at great risk.

Hysterical shouts, hideous faces, fierce energy collisions, countless blood mists, accompanied by many limbs, rose.

Even though the place had become a battlefield meat grinder, there were still a large number of natives of the Mantis plane, with expressions of fearless death, who fought one after another, using their flesh and blood to form a wall to resist with difficulty.

Just because behind them was their homeland for survival.

After a while, the Great Prophet said in a faint tone: "Seven years, at most seven years, tell Morik, if he can't do it, replace him with someone capable."

Until then, the Great Prophet withdrew his vision of the battlefield and looked back at the third-level male mantis man behind him.

His attitude was still gentle, but the third-level mantis man knew that since the Great Prophet had spoken, there was no room for maneuver.

He ignored the third-level mantis man, but thought about something with a deep gaze, and murmured words such as variables and turning points.

In this situation, the Level 3 Mantis Man in front of him was no longer surprised. After all, the mystery of the Great Prophet had a long history, and his wisdom was the key to the Mantis plane being able to resist the variant civilization for two hundred years.

"You seem to have something to say?"

Even without turning back, the Great Prophet seemed to have seen the expression of the Level 3 Mantis Man behind him who was hesitant to speak.

"Great Prophet, intelligence has come from the rear. In the past ten days, a large number of resources accumulated in many resource control areas have disappeared for no reason. There are signs that this is a premeditated collective action."

The Great Prophet nodded first, and before the Level 3 Mantis Man finished speaking, he shook his head and said in a very affirmative tone: "This is not the style of the variant civilization. Just tell me the result directly."

"You are right, Great Prophet.

After our investigation, we have captured many lone lurkers. They are not creatures from any plane we know. As for where they come from, their memories have been locked by secret techniques, so our prophet priests cannot use their mental power to forcibly detect their memories."

After saying this, the third-level mantis man clearly saw that a different color flashed in the eyes of the originally calm Great Prophet.

The slightly old Great Prophet Mantis had two unique tentacles on his head, and a brilliant starlight lit up.

At the same time, more than a dozen milky white beads with light gold lines floated in front of him. As the Great Prophet chanted the spell, these beads floating in front of him burst into golden light and began to rotate according to a certain pattern.

"Prophet's relics!"

Sensing the pure and powerful energy contained in these relics, the third-level mantis man was shocked.

The Prophet's Relics are a special top-level resource that only appears after the Prophet's priest passes away.

It contains powerful energy that can be easily absorbed by people. This alone is an invaluable treasure.

Not to mention, it also contains more magical uses.
