Whereas most Gamers acknowledged that Edward was their commander throughout occasions, that title was not formally given (by the God of Video games). Even the Knights of the Roundtable-leaders with the best authority within the Church of Video games weren’t acknowledged by all Gamers since their group was solely fashioned lately.

As such, a number of Gamers would determine to struggle alone or not participate within the occasion quests.

Terry and Jom had been an instance of that.

They by no means had been close to the Crookes refugee camp within the first place, however had run off to analyze the path of the undead excessive elf and coming to know Kristina, an agent of the Temple of Glory within the course of. Then, when the hill-folk started their assault, Kristina was swindled by Terry and Jom into believing that these tribes had been intent on burning and pillaging the Valla Empiresince banditry was one thing the hill-folk did within the first place.

After confirming that droves of hill-folk had been certainly approaching Valla, subsequently startling whereas beasts and magical creatures within the mountains into an ideal migration, Kristina promptly returned to the Temple of Glory to report her findings.

Whereas the Temple of Glory was not the official faith of the Valla Empire, they’d established themselves with robust footholds there for years, and was solely subsequent to the Sensible White Church by way of affect.

Furthermore, since they had been no match for the Sensible White Church with regards to political intrigue and powerplays, the Temple of Glory had been principally primarily based at frontier cities

—which might be the primary cities caught by the hill-folk’s assault.

As such, new grudges mixed with previous grudges as soon as the Temple of Glory noticed that their bases within the Valla Empire could be caught within the hill-folks’ rush, along with their previous dissatisfaction for being the one church whom the hill-folk didn’t share their booty with. As such, the ever-bad-tempered Temple of Glory promptly dispatched their wyvern knights and one sizeable detachment of their sacred corps led by Kristina.

After Angora posted the data that he bought out of the Hill Shaman Kaven Mor and the God of Video games saved it pinned on prime of the boards, Terry and Jom instantly guided Kristina to ambush one of many remaining tribes of hill-folk with inch-close precision!

Despite the fact that the Temple of Glory’s forces was nonetheless outnumbered by the hill-folk, they’d much more folks in comparison with the Gamers. Furthermore, the wyvern knights and the sacred corps had been a regular army drive with every particular person believing within the God of Conflict, which meant one might simply think about their power.

As well as, not like the Gamers, the sacred corps had no orders to seize the hill-folk, and would straight kill them on sight.

The hill-folk had been merely no match for the Temple of Glory’s sacred corps regardless of having the Lord of the Peaks’ blessing, crumbling simply underneath their assault despite the fact that they’d their chief with them. As there was not a lot distinction within the energy of their sacred arts, the chief’s head was hacked off by the captain of the wyvern knights squadron in two strikes and positioned on his lance as a present of drive.

The opposite hill-folk was left dumbstruck: our chief is gone, what about us?

Therefore, with none means of retaliating, they had been routed completely and lowered to not more than unusual thugs, their numbers culled with out finish by the Temple of Glory’s army.

“Woah. The armies of the most important religions are fairly scary…”

Terry was sighing as he watched what remaining hill-folk charged in the direction of the sacred corps’ formation, solely to splash aside like a wave after crashing right into a breakwater, earlier than fleeing with their tails tucked between their legs. “I’ve imagined that they had been fairly noob.” “They’re positively noob in single duels, however their power multiplies drastically as soon as they begin to struggle as a military…” Jom mentioned as he noticed them beside Terry. “In line with what Woman Kristina informed me, the God of Conflict isn’t just a god of conflicts, however a god whose authority revolves round conflict. That’s the reason as soon as his believers organize themselves in sure formations, everybody within the military would enhance in power.”

And that was not all. In contrast to the hill-folk who had been mainly doping to extend power and pace due to their god however unable to manage it nicely, the sacred corps of the Temple of Glory would usually conduct drills in numerous battle formations to realize unmatched synchrony, simply as they had been at all times in a position to management their buffs nicely. Certainly, they may have lengthy since gotten used to such conditions.

As a matter of reality, whereas it was one other matter if they’d a bonus in ranges, the Gamers would possibly get the quick finish of the stick if 100 of them clashed towards a hundred-man sacred corps detachment from the Temple of glory in the event that they had been on the identical degree.

Moreover, with the Temple of Glory usually being identified for warmongering, what number of such educated detachments of sacred corps have they got in reserve?

It have to be a surprising quantity both means, contemplating that they may pull out over a thousand troopers on a whim.

“Regardless of being the second prime faith, the Temple of Glory can actually be fairly scary.” Jom sighed. “We actually can’t underestimate any of the opposite church buildings.”

“Go away the marvel after the occasion. Let’s go get some or the hill-folk would all be achieved in. We’re going to have an issue if our contribution factors come up quick.” Terry mentioned whereas drawing out his longsword.

In any case, they had been those who brought about the battle between the Temple of Glory and the hill-folk, which counted as unloading some strain off the Crookes refugee camp. They might have purchased their comrades time and would subsequently earn some contribution factors, however how a lot factors had been one other matter altogether. “That’s true. Effectively, let’s go!”

Naturally, Jom additionally understood that they need to earn themselves as many heads as attainable for security causes. They’re by no means catching any hill-folk what with troopers of the Temple of Glory throughout them, or they might begin arousing suspicion. Therefore, elevating his employees excessive into the air, an elephant-trunk clam appeared behind the youth.***

After being assisted by the Temple of Glory in ridding them off considered one of their enemy’s detachment over some curious motive, Edward naturally was in a position to redirect many of the Gamers stationed on that entrance to strengthen their formation towards the final remaining detachment, even sending a number of teams to observe their residence base whereas they provide the hill-folk what for.

Certainly, the protection that the Gamers mounted with their lives on the road was already piling strain on the final legion of hill-folk, and that strain was elevated as soon as the Gamers stationed there at first had been relieved by the reinforcements from the opposite flank.

Finally, the assault of the third legion of hill-folk collapsed totally when Mufasa didn’t seize the final man and inadvertently reduce him down as a substitute.

Therefore, the curtains fell upon the initially mighty assault of the Lord of the Peaks’ believers with a really sloppy ending.

In the meantime, even the Gamers guarding exterior the Sky Horizon had made their catch. A number of the hill-folk from smaller tribes had been meaning to infiltrate the town with numerous measures, solely to be simply seen via by these Gamers and intercepted.

In any case, an enormous pink HP bar was hovering over their heads!

One specific group of the Lord of the Peak’s zealots who had been fearless towards loss of life, nevertheless, reduce via the Gamers’ interference and tried to rise up to the Sky Horizon with every thing they’d. The Gamers nearly allowed them to succeed out of a second of carelessness, however after they had been lower than fifty meters away from the Sky Horizon, they noticed that the grand metropolis therefore took to the air proper in entrance of their eyes… and flew away…
