GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1896: Taking The Bait.
Chapter 1896: Taking The Bait.
Whoever was scheming against him didn't take his bait to attack his army, but he is not going to wait for them to do so. He descended to the mortal realm with his avatar and took the fight to them.
It was then that the human gods made their move. It turned out that they had hired
adventurers to fight for them. These adventures were from different races from the city of adventurers.
They worshipped the god of adventurers, so they had access to Mana and were powerful. Now, they had been paid to save the Thames Kingdom from the orcs.
Legion knew about the god of adventurers because he was supposed to be the strongest human god. He was even a domain god who could grant classes.
What surprised Legion about all this was that they didn't expect the other human gods to allow her forces to enter their territory and fight for the humans. That was literally letting the god of adventures steal their believers.
But then he shrugged and said, "It just shows just how desperate they are if they are willing to allow another god to save their believers."
The hiring of the adventurers was an unexpected move, but it was unlikely to change the situation quickly enough to turn the tide. It is because the god of adventurers couldn't protect all the human kingdoms.
Her presence has been spread too thin across the human territory. If given time, she would be able to use this opportunity to showcase her power and gain more believers from the humans. This is time that Legion doesn't plan to give her.
They descended to the mortal realm and went on a rampage. Only Legion-1 descended, but only he was enough. He went ahead of his army to break down city walls, massacre the nobles in the city, destroy fortifications, and sometimes burn a city to the ground.
He created a trail of destruction that led towards the human capital. Behind him, orcish cavalry riding various war beasts chased after him. They were more than a hundred thousand in number. They followed him like locusts and devoured everything he left behind.
While the 100,000 cavalry chased after their god, 100,000 orcs in the army spread out all over the kingdom to subjugate it while the remaining 30,000 were in charge of the slaves.
They created so much carnage that he was constantly receiving notification of souls that he had gained. His soul harvest divine ability was being put to good use. Every being his believers killed had their souls harvested for him. So he was also gaining a lot in this war.
The orc army was coordinated, and their actions were lightning fast. The whole kingdom was going to fall in less than a month. The gods had to play their best move, or things would become too late.
Meanwhile, the Pantheon War in the divine realm had begun in earnest. Gods from both pantheons would fight each other in a one-on-one battle.
Each god must fight all the gods in the other pantheon. So if there are 100 gods in each pantheon, there will be a total of 10,000 fights. The Pantheon with more wins will win the Pantheon War.
It is a war that will take a lot of time to complete. It is also a war that won't rely solely on the power of the god king. At best, Legion will only be able to acquire 100 victories if they participate in it.
In the situation where he has a war to fight in the mortal realm too, he will have to fight for only those 100 victories or give them up. If he gives up, he would be granting the enemy pantheon 100 victories.
The smart thing to do is give up that 100 victories in favor of the war. Legion-1 had even informed his pantheon that he was not going to participate at all.
But when the first challenge for the pantheon war arrived while he was about to reach the capital of Thames, he changed his mind and took it. This made him cancel his avatar and return to the divine realm.
The hidden enemies were surprised. Even the god king of the pantheon sent to distract him was also surprised.
He had challenged the 9 Crowns and didn't think he would accept it. He expected an easy victory. But apparently that will not be so.
Legion-1 appeared in a small world together with the other god king. This small world is to be their arena. No one would be able to interfere in their battle.
The god king shook his head and said, "You couldn't bear the loss, huh? You're too proud. It will be your undoing."
Legion-1 made Myriad Armament appear in his hands and said, "Shut up and fight. Let me see if you have what it takes to delay me."
Instead of continuing his assault on the Thames Kingdom, 9 Crowns chose to fight in the pantheon war. It was unbelievable, but his enemies were not going to let this opportunity go to waste.
While the two god kings were fighting, or one was running while another god king was chasing, many human gods descended to the mortal realm in a hurry. They were in the hundreds, and they were excited.
Most of them were true gods whose avatars could be destroyed easily. But 5 of them were domain gods who had world power. All of them besieged the Orc Host in 9 Crowns' absence.
They were going to do so after 9 Crowns was held up with something else they had planned, but this opportunity was just too good to be wasted. The orcs stood no chance against the
gods.
Legion-2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 appeared in the mortal realm too. They already expected this situation, but it was still overwhelming to see. Their soldiers were being massacred
everywhere.
Legion-4 said, "Looks like we are losing this battle."
