Chapter 887: Vol V Chapter 247

“Thank you for telling us the news,” said the Master God of the Orc God System, Lefon, who was otherwise known as “Sky Devourer Canine.” He smiled and said, “We will be careful and stay alert.”

Morani wanted to say something more, for example, give some warning and such. But after staying silent for a long time, he sighed deeply, and in the end, he said nothing.

With his understanding of the Orc gods, it was absolutely impossible for Lefon to really be so careless. The “Sky Devourer Canine” was not only a top-notch warrior, but he was also a commander-in-chief that was thoughtful and intelligence-oriented. It was highly possible that he already knew the news or was even prepared for it.

However, he did not tell Morani about it. He might not even intend to drop any hint about it.

To this, what else could Morani say?

He was now known as the “God of Half-Orcs,” which sounded like the title of “God of Orcs,” but seemingly short of one word. Yet in truth, the two had long parted ways and were not even considered as allies.

Everyone still maintained a pretty good relationship, so perhaps they could still be regarded as friends. But friends were also divided and categorized into different classes. There were friends who would risk their lives and even take the blow for each other. There were also friends who merely had meals and drinks together.

The relationship between Morani and the Orc God System was probably the latter.

Watching Morani leave in such a dejected manner, the smile of Lefon’s face gradually faded, and he sighed.

How could he not know that Morani had specially come with the news this time because he wanted to help? How could he not be aware that Morani was gradually growing in strength, especially now where there were signs showing that he appeared to be obtaining the “Half-Orc” priesthood? So long as he was given another few more years, it would be possible for him to rely on this “Half-Orc” priesthood to become a great Divine Power. How could he not know that Morani was more than just an individual with powerful strength, but also someone who had the backing of the entire Desolation God System, as well as being one of the most important members of the Void Alliance?

But there were some things that he could not bring himself to say. There were some things that he simply could not say.

The Orcs had their own dignity to uphold. For the Half-Orcs, who were looked down upon in the Orc culture, he could talk and laugh with them, eat with them, or even render a little help when they needed it… but he could never ask them for help.

The Orc culture did not allow this. Neither did the belief of the Orcs!

After a long silence, Lefon returned to the temple and convened a meeting with the Orc gods.

At the meeting, he first asked about the situation of probing for intelligence.

“There’s not much of a difference from before. The Kingdom of Light seems to be very anxious, but up till now, only the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs has made it clear that it will send its army to help. As for the rest… the Kingdom of Eagle has said that it can send masters and a few elite soldiers to help; the Kingdom of the Blue Moon said that it can provide financial support, as well as send a troop of around 10 thousand people. As for the West and South, they are more inclined towards attacking the Great Marsh or the Ancient Forest. They don’t seem to show that much enthusiasm in besieging us.”

Lefon nodded, indicating that he knew about this.

Something that even Morani knew, the Orc gods of course would have known way earlier. They might even have done the necessary preparations and were ready to respond to an earth-shattering battle anytime.

The Orcs were not afraid of war. On the contrary, they relished fighting battles and enjoyed going to war. If they were to be described in terms of internet quotes used on Earth, it was probably be something like “Gentlemen, I love war.”

For them, even if they could not win, so long as they had put in their all to fight a good battle, there was nothing unacceptable.

Of course, Lefon personally had no intention of fighting a losing battle. On the contrary, he wanted to win!
