Chapter 8: Subversion and Conspiracy
The shamans were ambitious, and the temple of the beast gods they built was huge and magnificent.
It is absolutely impossible to complete a beast temple of this size in a short period of time, even if there are enough stones, but with the gradual release of a large number of human prisoners of war, the speed of construction is bound to be slow. Even if a considerable number of people in the beast clan were willing to come to the Beast God Temple to help, it would not be completed in a year or two. At the beginning, the Baroque estimated that it might be five years before the initial construction was completed.
However, Baroque is not against it, so he should find something to do for the shamans who have been set aside by him!
However, the Temple of the Beast God was built less than the following year, almost overnight, as if a miracle had befallen him. Ordinary orcs regarded this as a miracle, and only the shamanic priests knew the inside story. As a demigod, the Chosen Warrior acts according to the will of the God of Light, and at the same time brings with him the oracle of the Beast God. In the face of the oracle of the beast god, from the high priest of Sira onwards, all the shamanic sacrifices prostrate and submit, and at that moment, the influence of the Baroque was weakened and ......!
The Chosen Warrior of the God of Light arrived, and with the help of his divine power, huge stones were built like a stack of bricks...... Many of the buildings of the Beast Temple have been built. The opening ceremony of the temple, presided over by the High Priest of Sira, was soon held. All the orcs in the grassland of the horse breeding land gathered outside the huge altar of the beast god temple to participate in the ceremony. On that day, a miracle descended from the sky, and a huge and unbounded burly figure appeared in the sky, and an invisible divine power enveloped all orcs. In this comparison, the illusory tricks that the Baroque secretly instructed the totem spirit beast Rak to play were like a child's trick. All the orcs fell to their knees and bowed to the beast god.
The 10,000-year-old curse of the God of Light was gone, and it was as if something had come out of the mind of every orc. The miracles of the beast gods manifested concretely, and dozens of rays of light fell on the shaman sacrifice in the most central position, or on the orc elders. In particular, the pillar of light on Shaman's body was thick. A simple animal skin book that exudes divine power fell from the sky! At that moment, a name [Shaman's Book] appeared in the hearts of every orc!
This is the true heritage of the orcs, shamans. Witch doctor, beast warrior. Berserker Warrior...... Names belonging to the glorious era of the former beasts will be reproduced one by one. At that moment, the orcs who had been suppressed by the Baroque in the past were ecstatic!
This is the time when chaos begins, and it's the best time for the orcs. Returning to the protection of the beast god and lifting the 10,000-year curse of the god of light, any orc is full of confidence that their own time has come!
The Chosen Warrior of the God of Light left after helping to build the Temple of the Beast God, and he could not interfere in the affairs of the Beast Clan, after all, the Beast God had just been released from the Land of Suppression by the God of Light. He also made a peace with the god of light to deal with the threat of demons together. But the beast god is notoriously violent in the sky, and if the Chosen Warrior dares to dictate and interfere in the affairs of the beast clan, once he returns to the divine court, he will definitely be taught a lesson. And the God of Light will not fall out with the Beast God again for the sake of a small demigod, and it is very wise to choose a warrior to walk away. ββββββ besides, after the establishment of the Beast God Temple, this place has become the main node for the Beast God to come to the Sauron Continent, just like the Light Temple on the Light Mountain is to the Light God. A mere demigod exists, if you enter the temple after opening. It can only be sent to death. This is also the reason why the demonic demigod [Devourer] dared to assassinate the clergy of the Holy See outside, but did not dare to approach the Temple of Light for half a step.
It was only at this time that the High Priest of Sira suddenly remembered the Baroque, because he became the land spokesman of the beast god, through certain powers. Those small actions of the Baroque were vaguely known to Silo. Although I was shocked by the audacity of the Baroque, after all, there had been a [Maudun King] in the past, and the beast god disappeared for tens of thousands of years, and it is understandable that the Baroque stole the belief of the beast race. But that doesn't mean it's over, the beast god already knows about the existence and behavior of the Baroque from some source. The wrath of the beast god could be clearly felt from the oracle.
All the shamanic priests and orc elders who had received the glorious baptism of the beast god, in addition to the explosion of their strength, they all received a special oracle from the beast god...... The Orc Baroque is accused of being a "blasphemous", and any orc should take him back to the Beast Temple to receive divine punishment!
The former orc elders, who had been suppressed by the powerful Baroque in the past, finally raised their eyebrows, and they were ambitious and ready to make a big move. The first is to seize the command of the orc army!
Muru and other commanders all led their armies to camp outside, so none of them participated in the sacrifice of the Beast God Temple. They don't know what is going on here: reads();. In order not to startle the snake, the shamans deliberately kept it a secret. Only send someone to recall them all. High Priest Sira was attracted by the Book of Shamans and fell into a state of hunger and thirst. He was originally such a person, and because of this, the affairs of the clan returned to the hands of the Shamanic Elders and the Orc Elders.
They recalled the commanders, generals, and all the warriors in the name of the high priest of Silo, and the prestige of Siloh was second only to that of the Baroque, and Muru and the others did not doubt him, and they all returned.
The generals were already capable enough to take charge on their own, so that after defeating the human invaders, the Baroque also dispersed the army, leaving the commanders to lead their armies independently in strategic points in all directions. It was because of the distance they were from the Beast God Temple, and the time of their return was also different.
Barrotan and Salomon were stationed in the city of Sheldon, a stone's throw away, and they were the first to return to the grasslands of the horse farm. In fact, as early as when Dennis took Celine and Baroque's children away and left them only an ominous farewell letter, the two had a very bad premonition. After receiving the summoning order from the shaman elders, the two handed over to the legion deputies, and immediately rushed back with all the beast armor warriorsββββββ shaman specially asked all the beast armor warriors to return to the beast god temple together, so as to receive the blessing of the beast god together.
When they returned to the Equestria Grasslands, Ortu and a group of orc elders who had apparently become more energetic changed their attitude towards them, and they were no longer as kind as usual, and spoke in a thick and condescending tone. Barrotan suppressed his unhappiness and asked why he summoned them back, and Ortu had a complicated expression: "Go to the Temple of the Beast God, the shamans will tell you the reason." β
Barotan and Salomon immediately rode their horses to the Beast God Temple dozens of miles away, with a group of beast armor warriors. At this time, the atmosphere in the tribe was very strange, as if those people looked at them with some kind of distrust and hostility. Ortu shook his head, looking dazed for a moment. Then he sighed and returned to his tent. He had brought Hilda back from Shoton City many days ago, and in addition to letting his wife help her give birth, he also watched over her daughter, or some kind of protection.
The things that the Baroque did in secret were shocking to the world, and they were accused of being "blasphemers" by the beast gods. Even though Oltu lamented Baroque's outstanding abilities, he knew that his fate was pessimistic and would not end well. Oltu didn't want his daughter to be unlucky with Baroque, and only by his side could he play the greatest role in sheltering. Even if you're lucky, even the children of Baroque and Hilda can be saved.
The Temple of the Beast God has been controlled by the Shaman Elders, and with the support of the Orc Elders who are hostile to the Baroque, they are not only preparing to regain the power of the army, but also plotting against the Orc commanders who are loyal to the Baroque and the beastly armored warriors created by the Baroque. In the past, this kind of conspiracy was just wishful thinking, but from the day the Temple of the Beast God was opened and the orcs were blessed by the Beast God, everything changed. ββββββ within the scope of the Beast God Temple, even a demigod would have to be restrained, let alone a group of beast armored warriors?
As soon as Barrotan led the beast armor warrior to enter the Beast God Temple, an abrupt change occurred on his body. As if the strength of the whole body was suppressed to death, and even the beast armor could not be fused, a team of orc soldiers trapped them and seized their weapons and mounts. The leader of those soldiers, an orc elder, looked at Barotan and the others with a haughty gaze, and said arrogantly: "Barotan, in the name of the beast god, you have been arrested. β
"Bastard, what are you doing? We're not guilty, who gave you the right to arrest us?" Barrotan struggled, but he was no match for a group of ordinary orc soldiers, and was slammed to the ground. Salomon was no better, and one by one they were pushed to the ground and tied up with ropes of oxen tendons.
"In the name of the beast god, of course you are guilty, and the crime is to collude with the [Blasphemer Baroque] and harm our beast clan. The orc elder sneered: "Wait, when you people are all arrested, we will give you a chance to repent to the beast god, and if the beast god forgives you, then you can be acquitted." With a wave of his hand, Barrotan and they were escorted away. Letting them roar and curse, the orc elder even became more and more proud, with a sense of revenge............ This is just the beginning, all the blasphemers will be punished, and the orcs will still need shamanic sacrifices and respected orc elders to lead the way! )
