Today, I Become a God - Chapter 27
Chapter 27: Centaurs!
Currently, the territory had 42 elite orcs, and 10 of them already have their own equipment, so he only needed to equip 32 sets of equipment.
It was better to buy the simplest Tier-One melee equipment.
14,000 points for a set.
Lorne directly spent 448,000 points of Power of Faith.
This was equipment for all orcs to wear in the upcoming wars.
In addition, he also needed to buy some weapons.
Although the kobolds weren’t worth much, they had a lot of people, so they were quite powerful when organized.
If they were equipped with decent weapons, their capabilities in battle wouldn’t be any less than other troops.
With this in mind, Lorne set his eyes on the spears.
Kobolds had low combat awareness. Long weapons could bring them higher combat power.
As for crossbows?
He should also equip some.
However, crossbows were much more expensive than other types of equipment.
Especially high-level crossbows. The price was two to three times that of swords, sometimes even higher.
Lorn did not buy too many.
He purchased 15 sets of the longbows used for firepower suppression, which cost 300,000 points of Power of Faith.
The remaining ones were all equipped with spears and sabers.
However, considering the limited amount of money, he could only equip 60 people with weapons.
These weapons cost 840,000 points of Power of Faith.
Apart from that, Lorne also bought some shields.
The price of the shields was the same as the longbows. They were considered expensive equipment and cost more than 20,000 points.
Although they were expensive, they had to be equipped.
After all, he was also worried that the other party may also have longbows. That would cause huge casualties.
In the end, Lorne spent 500,000 points of Power of Faith and equipped 20 shields.
Just like that, Lorne became poor again.
He only had one million points of Power of Faith left in his body.
One had to know that a few minutes ago, he was still a rich man with three million points.
“The longevity of gods is not unreasonable.”
Lorn shook his head.
A million Power of Faith could only condense one trace of divine power.
But to improve his strength, he needed at least a thousand strands of divine power and he also needed to cultivate his body and soul.
In this way, the amount of Power of Faith required was somewhat difficult to calculate.
At least with Lorne’s current thinking, he did not dare to think about such a terrifying thing.
But it was still okay.
With this wave of improvement, his strength and the combat strength of his divine kingdom would be greatly improved.
Lorne was very happy when he thought of this.
Then, he descended into the World of Believers again.
Two days had passed here and his believers were rebuilding their territories.
As mentioned before, the scope of the divine kingdom was calculated by the buildings within the scope.
Therefore, the more buildings there were, the larger the kingdom would be.
Lorne was very willing to see this.
As for Nia, she often flew out of the divine kingdom these days to explore the surrounding forests.
But because she was afraid that she would be discovered by other large-scale kingdoms, she deliberately reduced the scope of her activities and used a step-by-step expansion method to explore the outer forest.
Now was the time for her to return to her territory and submit the information she obtained.
At this moment, as a disciple, she sensed the arrival of her god.
She immediately flew up into the sky.
When she passed through the clouds, the world she was in changed.
She received Lorne’s permission to come up from the World of Believers to this divine plane that only gods could reach.
“Master.”
“Yes.”
Lorne touched her big head and said, “Did you find anything new?”
Nia said, “Master, there are no traces of false gods in the surrounding 50 kilometers of forest, but I found some centaurs’ nests.”
“Centaurs?”
Hearing the information, Lorne pondered.
Truth be told, the number of believers could be increased through enlightenment.
He was unsuccessful before because the orcs themselves were not very strong. The monsters they captured were all very low-level and almost did not have intelligence.
Therefore, the difficulty of enlightenment was also unprecedentedly high.
However, some monsters, due to their level of intelligence, had a high chance of enlightenment.
For example, the centaurs.
Centaurs were life forms with higher intelligence.
Furthermore, they had rich combat experience and were considered natural warriors.
Compared to the orcs, the centaurs had greater mobility and group organization. They were the best troops to launch surprise attacks.
“How many are there?”
“About 200.”
Nia said, “There are four centaur lairs. They are not far away from each other. As soon as battles occur, the centaurs from the other lairs will rush over. Therefore, if we want to conquer them, we have to consider facing 200 centaurs directly.”
“En…”
Lorne did not mind.
He had to capture all these centaurs.
Although his divine kingdom did not have a numerical advantage, with Nia around, as a Tier-Three transcendent level soldier and a flying unit, she could control the entire battle.
However, Lorne’s only concern now was the centaurs’ enlightenment.
If they spent dozens or even hundreds of lives to capture these centaurs, if they were not able to enlighten these centaurs quickly, the kingdom’s combat power would be greatly affected.
If they were to encounter another kingdom’s invasion at this time, then the situation would be dangerous.
“Nia, keep an eye on the centaurs’ nest and pinpoint their position.”
“Yes, Master.”
Lorne did not want to start a war right now. His divine kingdom had just gone through a battle, and it was time for him to recuperate. He could not rush for immediate benefits.
Furthermore, he still had unabsorbed Power of Faith in his body and he had not completely grasped the power of his divine personality. Rashly starting a war would only put himself in danger.
Thinking of this, Lorne did not stay any longer.
He descended upon the Monde tribe.
All his believers gathered in the square, prostrating on the ground, waiting for their god’s orders.
Lorne said a few encouraging words and then gave them all the equipment he had purchased previously.
The orcs received the equipment. They wore armor and held huge battle axes in their hands. Some also held shields. They looked even more steady and fierce, especially when they stood together, their imposing manner made the surrounding kobolds feel terrified.
Then, Lorne blessed the kobolds again.
He gave them the Tauren blood essence that could improve their physique.
The Thunder and Fire marks on the kobolds emitted a ray of light. After it was injected into their bodies, the kobolds’ bodies immediately underwent a huge change.
The originally thin and weak kobolds, under the blessing of the light, evolved and their muscles swelled up.
Their bodies also became stronger.
Even though the blood essence could not allow them to evolve, it was still a great gift to them.
Moreover, their god gave them powerful weapons.
After receiving the two blessings, all of the kobolds let out rough growls. The expressions in their eyes also became fanatical. Even their faith was greatly enhanced.
