GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1749: Glory To The 9 Crowns.



A normal wolf stood at 3 quarters of her height, but the pack leader was tall enough to stand head to head with her. It was 2.5 meters tall from head to paw. It was not at all a beast she would want to meet alone.

As a warrior, she wasn't afraid of a wolf. But she is aware of how dangerous they can be. Fortunately, she has faith, and it is strong, so she held back her discomfort and went along with the shaman.

Warshaw had already received instructions from the 9 Crowns, so she knew what to do. She had unwavering faith in them, so she wasn't concerned for her safety at all. She used a knife to cut Axec's palm. Then she did the same to the pack leader's forehead.

Then she instructed Axec to place the wound in her palm on the wound on the pack leader's head.

"Repeat after me. I swear from today onwards that I will care for your pack as members of my tribe. In exchange, you will live and fight with us as members of my tribe. I swear this in the name of the 9 Crowns."

Axec repeated the oath. She said it clearly and with a little trepidation.

Warshaw then raised her hands to the sky and said, "The 9 Crowns have witnessed your oath. The bond between the wolf pack and Bullhorn's tribe shall stand until it is broken. Glory be to the 9 Crowns."

Both the orcs and the wolves raised their voices to worship the 9 Crowns. Their voices and the dedication in their hearts were stronger than ever before. If there was ever any doubt about the might of the 9 Crowns, it is all gone now. Even if Axec decided to outlaw the 9 Crowns later on, the members of the tribe would still worship the 9 Crowns.

The two communities became one. The orcs accepted the wolves without any fear. They had absolute trust in the 9 Crowns, so wolves were welcomed into their homes. The wolves also extended that gesture by bringing the orcs to take their cubs.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Legion watched this happen with a little self satisfaction. One clone had used 20 Divine Energy and another had used 50 more to bind the wolves to the tribe. It was an expensive expenditure, but it was worth it.

Their miracle brought in returns quickly. Their believers increased to 532 immediately. Only the young orcs in the tribe who were too ignorant about faith didn't believe in them. But that would change after a while of brainwashing.

The tribe had become theirs completely, so they began blessing the strong warriors. This granted them power enough to outmatch Axec, but it also increased their faith in the 9 Crowns. Besides, Axec is not the ruler of the tribe anymore. That power has gone to Warshaw.

When the gods are in power, their clergy rule the mortals. Above them all are the Oracles. They are the closest to the gods and their mouthpiece. So it is normal for everyone to look to the Oracle for guidance instead of the chief.

In fact, it is necessary for them to do that. Without the guidance of an Oracle, they will run when friendly wolves approach them or stay when hostile wolves approach. Only an Oracle knows which wolves are for them or against them.

Warshaw, who was always full of energy, went about preparing for the ceremony to officiate the faith of the 9 Crowns in the tribe. She also put everyone else to work preparing for it.

The ceremony was to be held the following day. It was too soon as there was a lot of work to be done. But no one objected. In fact, everyone helped as much as possible. They put aside other things they used to do and spent the whole day to build a temple for the 9 Crowns.

They didn't manage to complete it before the following day, though. Their plan for the temple was too big to be completed in a day. But they completed the core of the temple, which housed the altar. That was enough for the ceremony to hold, so it went on as scheduled. When the morning came again, everyone came to the temple. Unlike yesterday, they were dressed in their best furs. And they were chanting "Glory to the 9 Crowns" instead of "Blood for power."

Warshaw performed a dance where she explained the identity of the 9 Crowns. The orcs finally knew them to be a god with dominion over nine aspects. They don't know what aspects are, but they learned that no god could compare to such a powerful god.

The ceremony ended when Axec handed over any shred of power she had left by announcing that the faith of the 9 Crowns would be the faith of the tribe and outlawed any other faith as heretical.

Warshaw led the crowd to raise their voice in worship. They sang songs in harmony and chanted, "Glory to the 9 Crowns. Glory to the 9 Crowns. Glory to the 9 Crowns."

Legion was truly pleased by the display. Their quest was completed, and it was confirmed by a notification.

Congratulations! Your religion has been established.

-You will ascend to the Divine Realm.

-You have gained access to Divine Spells.

Their figures faded away, and they disappeared completely. Warshaw lost sight of them and almost panicked. She would have panicked if she didn't hear the assurance from them that they were not leaving permanently. Only then did she relax.

The tribe went about their days after the ceremony. Only this time they had wolves to help them hunt. Things became easier for them with the wolves, so the tribe was slated for

prosperity.

Meanwhile, Legion reappeared in a magnificent city. They have seen a lot of things in over the 800,000 thousand years that they have lived, but they had to admit that this city was truly worthy of the word magnificent.

The city was full of sky-reaching buildings built with glass, crystals, and gems. Some buildings were made of only glass, while others were built with crystal blocks of various

colors.
