Chapter 238: Hope
The enemy was completely crushed and scattered, and victory did not come too easily.
So after the end of the war, many people couldn't help but have an unbelievable look on their faces. Neither of them could have imagined that the war would end so quickly.
But after all, it was a victory, so after the battle, the field still resounded with cheers one after another. The sound was deafening and resounded through the sky.
Then the growth of the ranks of converts could no longer be stopped. After the end of this mythical war, in just one month, the ranks of converts, which had been less than 800 people, had grown to 3,000.
Then, with a coup d'Γ©tat by a small clan, the ranks of the converts grew to 8,000 and had their own settlement. Then their influence began to spread outward, and more and more people threw themselves into their arms.
After all, compared to the ethereal god Numi, the true god of the north, who repeatedly shows miracles, is undoubtedly more attractive. So in the second half of this year, some of the leaders of the tribes and the gathering places chose neutrality.
They don't help the old faith, but they don't suppress the newly converted. Let them play their own roles and compete for believers. So even if the big war is gone, all kinds of skirmishes are still endless.
It's just that in this skirmish, it is often the converts who believe in the true God who take advantage. Because of this, by the end of the year, tens of thousands of people from seven tribes had unequivocally supported the converts and regarded the original belief in the god Numi as illegal.
But this undoubtedly greatly touched the original old forces, so when the first snow fell in space, dozens of representatives of the old forces with heads and faces also gathered together.
"We have to get rid of the damned converts. Now, because of the presence of these damned ones, we have less and less offerings to collect from the various tribes and gathering places. If this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
One of the oldest in silk was the first to speak.
And hearing his words, many people present couldn't help but sigh.
"Your honor, you have a point, but it's not like we haven't worked hard. We provoked a war and attacked them with absolute superiority, but we were defeated. β
"Yes, you have not seen it. But the white wolf that suddenly appeared on the battlefield was too terrifying. The difference between the strength we have and the white wolf is like a weed and a giant tree. In the face of the white wolf's attack, we are simply powerless. And that's not what the numbers can make up for at all!"
"That's right. Unless the great god Numi is also revealed, how can we defeat an evil god!"
After that war, these people who were lucky enough to survive have a strong psychological shadow in their hearts. This makes them simply unable to give birth to the courage to face the white wolf again. Now, they feel scared even thinking about it.
Therefore, one by one sighs, it seems extremely decadent.
But it also annoyed the old man who spoke first. He was the initiator of this meeting, and he initiated it to negotiate a solution. It's not to listen to people here "destroy their own ambition and increase the prestige of others".
So his eyes widened, and the old man directly slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Look at the way you look now, it's a shame." It's just a failure, what's the big deal. Besides, the great god Numi is not unholy. This is what I have called you this time for. Let us join forces and offer the best sacrifice and give everything to the great god Numi, who will not sit idly by. β
"But ......"
"Nothing!" the old man's eyes widened, "Trust me, we will achieve our goal!"
Although they knew that they were not completely sure of this, after all, the god Numi they believed in had not appeared for a long time. But now, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the gods he believed in.
Then, the discussion became what kind of sacrifice to prepare, what kind of ritual to perform, and so on. They can only pin their hopes on it now.
And when everything is decided, these people are still very fast in action. First, they returned to their tribes and gathering places to collect precious sacrifices, such as gold, precious stones, monster cores, monster blood, and "voluntarily sacrificed" pure maidens.
But even at such a price, they still made up a lot with all their efforts. Even those pure girls who "volunteered to dedicate themselves" made up nine pairs.
Then, a second snow fell, and the men gathered together again with their offerings. Only this time they had gathered not in the largest gathering place of their Tero tribe, but in front of a huge stone statue.
The statue was staggeringly large, measuring almost twenty meters from head to toe, and its entire body was made of a huge stone. And the image carved by this statue is naturally the god Numi that the Terro people believe,
But it has long been said that the god Numi that the Teros believe in is not a normal human figure. Therefore, this statue is also very strange. First it looks like a human head has deer-like horns, and then it has a mask that looks like a skeletal sheep's face. However, the Teros have long been accustomed to this.
That's why when they come to this statue, everyone's eyes are solemn and respectful. Then in the open space in front of this huge statue, they offered all the sacrifices they had brought.
Then the old man who led the way also said loudly: "O great god Numi, the servants have given everything to you, and the servants need your help now. The evil god from the north has invaded your territory, and he shamelessly deceives and plunders the believers who belong to you, causing those who have been loyal to your blessing to believe.
The servants want to stop Him for you, but He has more power than the servants can match. The servants had done everything they could, even giving their lives for it, but they still couldn't stop each other. Great Numi, please guide us, or send down your divine power to destroy that abominable evil god. I beg you, great god Numi!"
With that, he put three loud heads on the ground, and then the old man patted the dirt on his body and stood up from the ground.
Then he turned his gaze to the people behind him, and said, "Okay, let's go and come back in a day." When we return, if all the offerings are gone, it means that the great god Numi has heard our request and is willing to help us. Now, let's go. β
