Chapter 889 (2/2)

Tens of thousands of followers killed all at once, including a large number of fanatical followers, was an extremely difficult loss for any God System to bear. Especially when the Void Mask did things mercilessly. After contacting hell, for every person he killed, a Hell Messenger would directly catch that soul and send it to trial to receive a Judgement of Hell… This caused the most severe damage to the Orc Gods.

In the three to four years that followed, there appeared a large number of civilians among the Orcs who became Half-Orcs because they were no longer devoted themselves to believing the gods.

That incident had greatly affected the relationship between the Orc Gods and the Void Mask. Since then, there was little communication between them. Even the other gods in the Void Alliance seemed to minimize contact with the Orc Gods.

So now, when someone suggested asking the Void Mask for help, the Orc Gods could not help feeling somewhat embarrassed.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Finally, all eyes concentrated on the God of Orcs, Lefon.

Lefon was silent for a long time. And finally, he sighed deeply.

“Let’s give it a shot,” he said. “I don’t carry much hope, but… we should give it a shot anyway.”

Now that this was said, there was no longer any pressure hovering over him. He went on to say, “But, it may not be so effective if it’s just us going to look for him. You all shall go to the Dwarf God System first. Get the Dwarf God System to help by being the middleman. Then rope in a few elders of the elven race… The Void Mask maybe a jellyfish, but in terms of character, he’s a good man who is kind and upright. He has good relations with the dwarves and elves. It should be helpful to us if we can enlist their help in persuading him.”

“Doesn’t the Void Mask have the best relationship with the humans?” asked one of the gods.

“Yes, that’s apparently so,” Lefon said. He gave a little laugh and said, “But what does it matter? He’s obviously someone who is concerned about what’s right and wrong and pays no regard to background and origin. It is not a big deal if we are the ones attacking the humans. But this time, the human gods are going to wage war for the purpose of unifying the Main Plane. From aggressors, we have become defenders. It’s highly possible that he will help us out of sympathy.”

“But back during the time where we attacked the Kingdom of Eagle, he did not make any attempt to help the Kingdom of Eagle.”

“He did not do anything personally. But the first general under his command, the archbishop of the Church of the Void Mask, Leon Igor, did come forward to help. Of course, as we all know, Leon Igor’s in quite a unique position. He was the prince of the Kingdom of Eagle. If the throne had not been usurped, he would have become the King of Eagles—But at the same time, Crick Keane, who has become his Holy Spirit later on, also participated in the war. Perhaps this should be enough to show his stand.”

“Wasn’t Crick Keane forced to participate in the war? He had complained about it more than once after he fortunately survived the war.”

“Whether it’s voluntarily or forcibly, it’s an indisputable fact that he eventually took part in that battle.”

The gods discussed incessantly, and for that moment, the entire place became a little noisy.

Lefon made some coughing sounds and motioned the gods to keep quiet. Then his gaze fell on the few gods who assumed the roles of messengers.

“We don’t have much hope, but we have to fight for it anyhow,” he said. After a slight pause, he added, “You all have to bear in mind that during negotiation, don’t talk about the war between us and the humans. Try your best to steer the topic towards the dwarves and elves. Emphasize the war between them and the humans. So long as we can get them involved and tie them to us, there will be greater hope for us.”

He was silent for a moment, then with a little sigh, he said, “Otherwise… I’m afraid that jellyfish won’t help us at all…”

Then he issued quite a number of orders and got the messengers to carefully select some rare treasures from the treasure vault. Thereafter, he sent them off to look for the dwarves and elves to form a Joint Mission of Messengers.
