Chapter 30 The Ascension - Eugene
In the end, Stephen's curiosity prevailed and decided to follow these war priests to take a look.
Although Stephen must not interfere in all of this, it has nothing to do with watching the fun in the past. Besides, this is not the southern countries and coastal areas, so Stephen doesn't have to worry about being found lazy. Eugene, the God-Eugene, is also a very powerful legend. It is said that he was originally a slave to humans, a gladiator, and humans are the most capable of accepting novelties. Therefore, Eugene, as a half-orc, learned a lot of human knowledge at that time, and finally broke away from his slavery and became an adventurer.
Over the past decade, Eugene's footprints were almost spread throughout the world. He accumulated considerable knowledge and experience, and finally decided to change the extremely miserable fate of his race.
In this world.
The race with the highest population is undoubtedly humans. It almost has an absolute advantage, exceeding the second-place elves with nearly five times the population. The elves ranked second must add the Drow elves living underground to one-fifth of the human population. This is the result of the elves enjoying the peace for thousands of years. The third-place ranks the orcs, most of them live in barren places. Since the orcs invaded the world and were caught in one net, their gods have been rejected by the gods here. The number of orcs has not been very large, but their origin is another material plane dominated by orcs. Behind the orcs are races such as dwarves, halflings, goblins, and gnomes. Although there were a lot of orcs at that time, the status was quite embarrassing. They were neither recognized by orcs nor accepted by humans.
The God-Eugene became the leader of the orcs at that time. He reformed the social system of the orcs, from a nomadic civilization to an agricultural civilization.
After accumulating more than ten years of power, the Saint Catastrophe broke out. Eugene rose to the southern mountains at that time, leading the orcs to conquer the cities and expand their territory. Finally, it reached an agreement with the then Death Lord, Sauron, to completely occupy a territory near the southern mountains and swamps. Since then, the number of orcs has begun to increase significantly, and now it is a race with a population second only to the halflings. However, the foundation of the orcs is still a little worse. It took hundreds of years for the God-Eugene to only have weak divine power close to medium divine power, and its strength is far inferior to other divine systems.
The jungle around gradually became denser.
The orcs' territory is between swamps, deserts and mountains. They live on these lands in tribal ways. The only city is built in a place called Moganda. The orcs like to build their own houses with stones and logs, so the buildings here are quite primitive and wild, and there will be no so many decorations from humans. They like the tall and stout architectural style. Because the land is relatively barren, orcs need to rely on hunting to supplement supplies, and you can also see many human caravans here. They come here to purchase fur and medicinal materials, which produce the most fur products in the world.
The war priests entered a tall building, and Stephen quietly escaped into the secondary plane to catch up. Ordinary invisibility techniques would be discovered by them.
A group of burly orcs greeted them.
This race does not have so many conspiracies and is more accustomed to solving problems with violence, and it just so happens that the war priests are also a group of guys with muscles in their brains, so Stephen quickly figured out the whole story from their conversation.
It turned out that the orcs had split inside.
Some people believe that they should support the Lord of Death. After all, they have learned a lot from humans. They are the kind-hearted human faction among the orcs, while others believe that human beings are not trustworthy. They should follow traditions. If human forces are too strong, they will threaten their race. These people are from the kind-hearted orcs.
The God of Battle - Tampas once protected some kind orcs after the Orc God system was defeated, so his faith spread among the orcs and half-orcs. It is precisely because of this relationship that the war priests came to try to convince the half-orcs to join their camp. The conversation between the two sides is inseparable from one question, that is, if the Lord of Death wins, his power will expand to a point, and what threats will those humans who believe in Him pose to other people and other races.
From Stephen's point of view, if the Lord of Death wins, then humans will enter an explosive growth period, which is a pressure for the orcs, because humans will form a complete ethnic crush on them. Because during the Arcane Empire, humans were the masters, and all other races were suppressed by humans, and no race could challenge the status of humans. Perhaps because of their excessive expansion, humans, who were already invincible in the main material plane, began to put their imaginary enemies on the gods. At that time, many arcane masters were peeping at the secrets of the gods.
Finally, the Arcane Empire fell.
Even so far, no one can figure out what kind of battle the gods and the Arcane Empire had fought.
The war priests are conservatives. The believers of this church are mainly composed of warriors, fighters, barbarians, rangers, priests, etc. As conservatives, they are actually very disgusted with reform because it will seriously threaten their status. Although these orcs oppose the reform of the Lord of Death, they are also afraid of the power of Modo City, because Luoye City is very close to them, which is the territory of the half-elves and is also the core faith area of the God of Death. Modo City has a large teleportation array that goes directly to Luoye City. Not to mention the elites of Modo City, the troops trapped by Luoye City are enough to threaten the orcs.
Without enough strength, rashly getting involved in the war is simply seeking death!
The war priests did not have much thoughts, and they soon revealed another important information, that is, some conservative gods have sent people to contact the elves and druids. The reform of the Lord of Death will inevitably lead to the establishment of a large number of alchemy workshops, which will pose a great threat to the natural environment. Therefore, the conservatives of the druids do not care about reforms or reforms, nor do they care whether the human power is powerful or not. They only care about whether the natural environment will be severely damaged. The power of these druid groups is very powerful, and their footprints are spread throughout human society and elves. As long as they support the conservatives, their strength will soar.
Moreover, they also vaguely revealed that the natural god system was actually very disgusted with reform, and the radical actions of the Lord of Death also attracted some powerful enemies who were originally neutral.
"interesting."
"Has the natural god system been involved in it? It doesn't seem like the God of Death is a sure win!..." Stephen murmured.
The situation is becoming increasingly difficult to judge.
Originally, he thought that the God of Death had a great chance of winning, but now it seems that there is no advantage. Many conservative gods are natural allies of the Lord of Glory.
