Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 920: Opportunity for Victory

Towards Sui Xiong’s presence, the dwarf gods were extremely welcome. They created clones to meet Sui Xiong and greet him. These clones also explained the situation to Sui Xiong without much censorship.

The Orcs had not revealed their entire strategy to all their allies, but they had only invited these allies’ Divine Powers to each offer one clone to enter their God Kingdom. At the same time, they had prepared their entire God Kingdom for battle. The Orcs had highlighted that if the allies were satisfied with what they were doing and were confident in victory, they were welcome to join the Orcs to fight. If they did not agree with the plan or did not see a good way to intervene, the allies could leave and the Orcs would not hold any grudges against them.

At that time, everyone had been extremely conflicted, and this feeling of conflict within them increased when they had found out that in the Orc God System’s God Kingdom, there were many groups that had been invited. Other than the allies who had already agreed to fight, there were also many other ally races who were still undecided. There were even god systems which did not have good relationships with the gods. For example, there was the barbarian alliance master “Bear Herding Elder,” who had always been warring with the Orcs, yet he too had been invited here.

Of course, everyone had only sent their clones, and these were clones with little power. This was a matter of precaution and was also requested by the Orcs.

“As long as the clone is able to show some spirit at the frontline, that will be enough. Save the real bodies and energy for later. The real war will only take place during the second wave,” the various Orc gods had said previously.

Originally, everyone had assumed that the Orc God System was waiting for the enemy to finish sending in their main troops before sending the supporting troops in as the final line of troops. They had not expected that the Orcs would utilize such a huge and ultimate strategy right at the start.

The Orcs had used their own god system’s God Kingdom as well as the life of their Master God to ruin the humans’ God Kingdom!

The Orcs had managed to showcase sufficient sincerity and achieve satisfying results to convince everyone else to support them without further hesitation.

Life was precious, and one could not let good opportunities go to waste. For the future of their race, no god would fear death!

Once someone had become a god of race, his body’s nature would go from being a solo entity to a group entity. The group of people in the race’s desires were then his desires, and the benefits the race enjoyed would be enjoyed by the god as well. Of course, the god still had some personal goals and benefits, but the race was always his utmost priority.

Now, it was time to fight for their races and earn some benefits!

This was why the dwarves, pygmies, elves and aboriginal gods had all appeared at the battle. Even smaller tribes, as well as gods who usually isolated themselves from the Main Plane, were present as well.

In the Void God System, Arcaian Pasteur’s face was extremely red, and one could tell that he was trying to best to control himself. He was being pushed to his limits.

Sui Xiong sighed lightly, shook his head and said, “Go ahead. This is a good opportunity for the fairies to gain some hope and advantage. I have no reason to stop you.”

Arcaian bowed deeply to Sui Xiong, and his body suddenly turned into a beam of light and transported itself to the forefront of the line of fairy gods at the scene of the battle.

Although he had been the latest to become a god amongst the fairy gods, he had the highest divinity, and his faith was also the strongest. Among the fairy race, there were at least half of them who were disciples of Arcaian.

Although his divinity did not include “fairies,” with the support and faith of the majority of the race, he could not and would not opt-out of this war. He was a fairy himself after all.

The fairy tribe of today was already extremely weak to the point where it was even defeated and oppressed by the insignificant Kingdom of Thousands of Springs. If they did not seize this opportunity to attack their bullies, the humans, they may even lose all their territory and status within the Ancient Forest.

This was something that the fairies were aware of, especially the fairy gods.

This was why despite their usual fraught relationship of differing views, instead of fighting upon meeting, towards Arcaian, who was wholly bathed in a good aura, the fairy gods who were bathed in evil area smiled instead of showing any ill intent.

“We finally meet.”

“We welcome you, the rising star of our race.”

“Although we do not support the path you have taken, let us fight for the future of the fairies together nevertheless!”

Arcaian himself smiled as well and greeted the fairy gods. At the same time, with a wave of his body, he morphed himself into battle mode. This included a silver, soft armor, a magic wand, a machete and a longbow.

This set of amour was made specially for Arcaian by Sui Xiong and Morani, and they were all advanced magical objects. Although Arcaian was not really experienced in battle, with these tools, he had the ability to sustain a battle with a mid-level Divine Power in war for a long time,

He could even sustain a three to five-day battle with little issue.

Since he was able to do so, he would put in all the power he had in this battle. In the end, Arcaian had caved and decided to rush to the battleground as well, clearly still patriotic to his original roots. However, he would never emulate the Orc gods and fight without care for life or death simply for victory. That was not his style, and it was not beneficial to the fairies if he did so as well.

If they could win, it was of course not a bad thing. However, if they lost and were sent off the Main Plane, this was where it was crucial that Arcaian should maintain the race’s order and protect the faith of the race. This was why, for the fairies, Arcaian’s safety was more important than the outcome of this battle. This was the same case for the dwarf gods, pygmy gods, aboriginal gods, et cetera.

To be honest, this was applicable to the Orcs as well. No one could understand why they had risked so much in this war.

Sui Xiong did not understand it as well.

Watching as the warships were all nearing the battleground, which could continue exploding, Sui Xiong quickly said his goodbyes and did not stay further on the warship.

In this war, he had taken on a neutral stance and would only render assistance when his friends were in danger. Sui Xiong thus did not want to put himself in a suspicious-looking position.

The different god systems’ troops had gradually neared the ball of blinding light and were carrying out searches earnestly.

The Orcs’ Master God, “Iron Mask Ferocious Spirit,” Snakenell’s raspy voice reverberated in the air. “They can’t have gone far! They must all be badly injured. Let’s find them and defeat them!”

All the gods, demigods and Oracles opened their eyes wide and continued searching meticulously. However, they were unable to find anything at all.

The human gods had all vanished and were nowhere to be found.

A second later, Snakenell finally exhausted his patience and gave a new order after another god suggested it to him.

“Let the humans be the one to make the next move! I’ll like to see how the human troops plan to win this battle without the support of their human gods!”

With such a command, the Orc troops started cheering and moving forward.

They had long been lying in wait for such a command, and the Orc troops charged forward towards the human frontier like landslides.

This time, they did not bother with any probing or tactical strategies. They simply used all their power and strength and rushed forward. Strobes of holy light descended from the skies, and the various Orc gods passed on all the Divine Power to the troops, giving them their biggest support.

With the aid of the gods, the Orc troops became even more courageous and fierce. Their eyes all glinted menacingly, and with their nature of being hot-headed, even their skin turned red. Many sensed the presence of the gods, and their bodies expanded. They could feel power coursing through them and cheered in excitement.

“The gods are watching over us!”

“Fight! Fight!”

“Let’s destroy the humans!”

“Today is the day the Orcs triumph!’

The Orc troops were of course unaware of the fact their God Kingdom had been destroyed. Similarly, they were also oblivious to the fact their Master God had died.

This chance to succeed had only come about due to large sacrifices on the part of the Orcs.
