Chapter 1769: Caution And More Caution.



Even with 25 more men, they stayed still and didn't move. They are sure that they can overpower the 5 guards and the Oracle quickly, but their Oracle insisted that they wait. So they waited.

This continued for 20 minutes until there was the howl of a wolf outside the tribe. The howl rang out clearly through the night and woke everyone up. The warriors of the tribe reacted quickly. They got their weapons and rushed towards the gate.

The Oracle was also awakened. As a young orc, it is not his duty to defend the tribe. He should stay out of the way. But he is the Oracle, so he should at least be aware of what's going on. The young Oracle wanted to go to the gate, but his guards advised him to stay away from danger.

It was good advice in that it prevented the first group from ambushing them on their way to the gate. But it also made the distance between them and the bulk of the warriors of the tribe increase by every passing moment.

So the first group waited until most of the warriors had gone to the gate to defend it. Then they pounced on the Oracle and his guards.

It was a massacre. They were outnumbered 6 to 1. The fight was quick, but they still drew attention.

The guards screamed, "Help, intruders."

Everyone from the expanded Bull Horn tribe cheered as each sacrifice disappeared into golden motes of light. They also sacrificed all the gold coins they could find. Then they danced until morning came to celebrate their victory.

----Up In Divine Realm.

One of the god seeds in the temple roared in frustration. Legion-3 didn't think it was the god seed whose Oracle they just killed, as many god seeds have roared recently. But he can imagine that the god seed will also be frustrated for losing their Oracle.

The repercussions of the death of the Oracle are dire right now. With their Oracles dead, the connection of the god seeds to the mortal realm has been cut off. They will need to create an altar very quickly so that they can interfere directly in the mortal realm again. But how can they do so when they have stopped receiving prayers and sacrifices?

Without prayers, god seeds won't be able to replenish their divine energy, and without divine energy, a god seed is on their way to death. Plus, there is no way to get the souls they need to build the altar without an Oracle to connect them to the mortal realm. So, without an Oracle, god seeds are all but doomed.

Legion-3 chuckled, thinking about the reaction of the god seed whose Oracle they just killed. Then he looked at the 100 souls in his inventory with satisfaction. This was the main prize, but the divine energy they received from the sacrifice wasn't so bad either.

Legion finally accumulated everything they needed to build their altar. They have their divinity, divine crystals, mortal souls, and mortal gold. All it took them was three days of dedicated work by all the clones.

Legion-3 remained in the temple while the other clone began their journey back to Gemmis. It was after they had reached the gates of Gemmis that he moved away from the divine investiture to go to their destination.

The clones went to the auction house first to buy the core of the altar. They can buy a lot of other things in the auction house, but they need to be godlings for them.
