Reducing indiscriminate and fighting hunger?
"You tell me this...... What is it for?"
Zujin licked his somewhat dry lips - of course, it might just be his psychological effect, but what Caldara said was exactly what Zujin had always wanted to do. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the young Zujin became a war lord - thousands of years ago, of course - his country was shattered, and his people were bullied by foreign enemies at war, but the rulers of the Amani Empire could do nothing about it.
Zukin hated this situation, and he waged war, brutally murdering the then emperor and prime minister of the Amani Empire, becoming the ruler of this ancient and weakened empire.
The millennia war had taken a toll on the Amani Empire, although their rivals, the Gulabash Empire, were not doing well.
Although the power of the Gulabash Empire retreated into the dense primeval forests of the Valley of Thorns, the Amani Empire also had to face tremendous pressure from the High Elves and the Human Alliance.
Despite his temper and haughty personality, as Caldara knew, he was a worthy emperor at least for the first part of his reign.
Under Zukin's leadership, the Amani Empire soon began its path of recovery.
Zujin enslaved the kobolds on the border between Lordaeron and the Wraithlands, earning the trolls plenty of cannon fodder to sacrifice.
Zujin also recruited many other troll tribes, and although he looked down on these non-Amani trolls from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that trolls were more trustworthy than other races.
Eventually, under the cover of the forests of the Ghost Lands, Zujin gathered a large and powerful army and set out for his revenge.
Neither humans nor the High Elves expected the troll's counterattack to be so swift and strong, and they were caught off guard at first, and a lot of land was reclaimed by the Amani Empire.
At such times, Zugin's pride became the biggest obstacle to the rise of the Amani Empire, and believing that the alliance between the High Elves and humans was vulnerable, he left off the slow-moving kobold legion and led the army of trolls to the Alterac Valley alone, where he tasted the first defeat of his life.
It was also a fiasco, with tens of thousands of troll warriors dying and even the proud Zujin having to flee back to Zuaman, and the Amani Empire was in ruins.
Zukin chalked it all down to not being strong enough, and when he noticed Malagos' unique talent for witchcraft, he had a new idea.
Zukin ordered Malagos to use sorcery to seal a portion of the animal god's power into his body, which is why he was able to transform into a lynx to sneak up on Aurelia Windranger and escape the battlefield in the form of a dragon eagle.
Zujin thought that he could already be on an equal footing with the animal gods, but today, Caldara's words let him know that the animal gods had other powers, and these powers were not out of reach.
Caldara had seen Zujin a few times, but it was the only time he had shown such eagerness in front of him.
"Haven't you always wanted to be a god in order for you to fulfill your desires? I know a way -- certainly much better than the one that Malagos knew. ”
Caldara said with a smile.
As Maragus's teacher, Caldara certainly knew what Malagus had done to Zujin, and it didn't surprise him, but now he had the opportunity and the ability to do better than his own disciples.
"How?"
Zujin asked straight - he didn't like the tone in which Kardara spoke to him, he didn't even like this fellow citizen from the Zandala tribe, but Kardala's words didn't give him the energy to care about it, he just wanted to know how he could gain more power, equal to, or even surpass the power of those animal gods.
"It's not complicated. As you know, there are four animal gods that I have summoned to Zuaman, and Nalorak is dead. But there are still some remnants of his power, and with these powers, we can make you call an existence like him for the time being. ”
Caldara explained.
"But Nalorak is dead, and he can't beat the human gods. ”
Zujin was not stupid, he knew that even if he really became Nalorak, he might not be able to get out of this war, let alone lead the trolls around.
"I know, but as I said, there are four animal gods, and one of Nalorrak is no match for the Oath of Life, so what about four?"
Caldara's tone was full of weirdness.
"Four, but will the other animal gods contribute their strength? You know, unlike Nalorak, they didn't die. ”
Zujin questioned.
"It's almost over, as you can see, tonight, we didn't send troops to rescue Nalorak, and the other animal gods helped but to no avail...... So, wouldn't they be worried about their fate next?"
"They must know better than I do what will happen to Nalorak, fellow animal gods, and if they don't want something like this to happen to them, they must cooperate with us. ”
Caldara explained, his tone devoid of respect for the animal god, which convinced Zujin all the more convincing Zujin that the Zandalar tribe had seduced/lured and killed an animal god in order to know the fate of the animal god.
"Can't they just walk away?"
Zujin was still a little unsure, in the past, these animal gods who were attracted by the flesh and blood of the sacrifices were not so easy to deal with, and if the trolls' demands made them feel troubled or dissatisfied, they would walk away, and maybe even take the summoner's soul with them.
"They will...... Don't you understand why Nalorak didn't leave here at the last moment?"
Caldara asked with a smile on her face.
"Why? Because of the bondage of that human god?"
Zujin guessed.
"Maybe until the last moment Nalorak thought the same thing as you, but the truth is...... Because of me, because of the enchantment of the four gods. The power of the Four Divine Enchantments restrained these summoned gods...... This is just a small improvement on the sorcery level. ”
Caldara said mysteriously.
"You did it......?"
Zu Jin's eyes widened in surprise and he said in disbelief.
"Wouldn't that be a great result? If those three gods knew they couldn't leave, I think they'd be willing to help you gain more power, Zujin. ”
Caldara said noncommittally.
"Caldara...... None of this was planned by you?"
Zujin asked, looking at Caldara with suspicion.
"How could it be...... Haha......"
Caldara laughed dryly, and the meaning was self-evident.
Zujin was silent, and he gradually understood what had happened.
It turned out that from the beginning, Caldara had never expected the Four Gods Barrier to be able to stop the human alliance, all he wanted to do was to concentrate the power of the four animal gods.
What was the attitude of the other three animal gods when the giant bear god Nalorac died tragically, and what would they think when they knew that there was no way to leave the four-god enchantment?
Zujin didn't know how Caldara had built this barrier that even the animal gods couldn't escape, but he was intrigued by what Kardara was going to do next.
"Forget it, let's get down to business. I don't care what you're thinking, I just want to know what it takes to transfer the power of the animal god to me, the true power?"
Zu Jin asked solemnly.
"Quite simply, you need the same things that the animal gods need. Devout faith, sacrificial flesh and blood, and the remnant of a Nalorak who can make you accept it all...... It's all ready, isn't it?"
Caldara said with a smile.
"So what are we waiting for?"
Zujin stared at Caldara for a long time, then grinned, two fangs shining in the moonlight
