GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1927: The Allied Army Of Nations.



9 Crowns was already too powerful. With the tower of realms, he would become even more powerful. So they had to stop him now with all they had. All the gods were of one accord about this.

The gods were also very determined to stop him so much that they pulled their heroes from the fight for the Mortal Blade and made them target the Orc Empire of the 9 Crowns.

They understood that they couldn't threaten the 9 Crowns in the divine plane anymore, so they made up their minds to uproot him in the mortal realm completely. That meant that even the gods joined their army in its march towards the Orc Empire.

All of this was not a secret to Legion. They could see the gods taking such actions and hear them announcing the alliance of gods against the 9 Crowns everywhere in the divine realm.

They also received numerous messages from other gods threatening them or demanding that they surrender. So they had some time to prepare for this.

It helped that this time, the gods couldn't rob them of the assistance of their pantheon with fake challenges thanks to the fact that they are in control of a tower of realms.

They can use the privilege of being in control of a tower to delay the challenges to their pantheon for the four years they will be in control in favor of assembling all their subordinate gods for battle. This made 200 gods of the Apocalypse Pantheon available for the war.

9 Crowns and his 199 subordinate gods descended to the mortal realm in preparation for battle. They stood over the wall of the Empire while looking into the distance, waiting for the army of their enemies to arrive.

It was quite an army too. They numbered more than a hundred million in number. Those were just the mortals. The gods were in the hundreds of thousands. By the looks of things, it was a losing fight.

Legion-3 grumbled and said, "This is the divine war again, but in the mortal realm."

Legion-1 said, "Things won't be so easy like they were in the divine war. We actually have a weakness here that he must protect. So we can't let them reach us. We must take the fight to them."

Legion-9 agreed. "Yes. We should destroy their army with the superior might of our divine spells. The priority is the mortals in the army. They aim to destroy our foundation, but we can do the same to them too."

Legion-6 added, "We should prioritize the mortals with divine touch. Eliminate their priests, oracles, and altars. By bringing all their forces together like this, they have also made themselves vulnerable."

Legion–2 shook his head and said, "The plan can work, but it will be very expensive. I am sure that Smite and the others will use that tool of theirs to rob us of access to world power. So we have to use divine energy against all of them."

Legion-4 sighed and said, We will lose a lot of divine energy to fight this many enemies. We will have to sacrifice our human slaves for divine energy at this rate. We might even have to sacrifice some of our believers."

Legion-1 said, "That's why we should fight them now while they are still a long way away from us. The daily divine energy we gain will help us whittle them down until they reach us."

Legion-7 suggested, "Either way, we should start evacuating our believers first. We can lose our nation, but we must not lose our source of faith."

What he said was bitter but sound advice. If they are forced to fight all of these gods and can't use inexhaustible world power, they will have to rely on divine energy. But there is no way that their daily gain of divine energy will be able to keep up with so many enemies.

They are bound to lose ground eventually if they have to rely on divine energy. That means they won't be able to protect their believers.

Rather than allow that to happen, they might as well evacuate them now. Besides, by moving their believers away, Smite won't be able to keep them from escaping.

Smite won't be able to force them to stay within the range of his world power-robbing tool just so that they can protect their kingdom. This way they will have opportunities to use world power.

So it is sound advice. But it is also bitter advice because they are on their way to evolving and becoming national gods. They already have the land. All they are waiting for is the population of their believers to reach 10 million.

But now they will have to give up the land they fought so much for and locate their orcs into the harsh and infertile edge of the kingdom. This will definitely delay them from becoming national gods.

Legion-5 said bitterly, "Even if this war ends in failure for them, they will have succeeded in delaying us. Smite should be glad."

Legion-6 encouraged them, "At the very least we will gain a lot from this. We will have a lot of souls through soul harvest, and Golden Light will be able to evolve again and again with so many gods laying down their lives to stop us."

Legion-8 agreed. "If everything goes well, we will only lose time, but we will become filthy rich in souls."

Legion-3 smiled and said, "It is like I said; this is just like the divine war all over again, except it is in the mortal realm. They all decided to pile on us, but that will make us rich."

That made the clones laugh. It is true that they gained a lot from the divine war. Golden Light and Myriad Armament were upgraded during the great slaughter of the divine war.

Now it seems they will be able to upgrade Myriad Armament again and also gain the most valuable currency. So they were looking forward to the war.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
