Today, I Become a God - Chapter 29
Chapter 29: The Orcs’ Second Sacrifice!
“Giant Razor Toothed Lizard?”
Lorne learned about the species of this sacrifice from the orc chief.
It was a Tier-Two monster.
As it was difficult to find high-tier creatures in the nearby forest, the orcs could only bring out this spare sacrifice.
However, Lorne was not satisfied with this.
First of all, Tier-Two monsters were not of much significance to the tribe.
There were 12 Tier-Two soldiers in the Monde tribe, as well as Nia, a Tier-Three transcendent level great winged black scaled dragon.
How could such a force only sacrifice Tier-Two monsters!
Absolutely Not!
Also.
Lorn was not satisfied with the species.
The body of a giant razor tooth lizard was very ordinary, it did not have any outstanding advantages.
They were not like rock beasts who have hard, thick armor or elves who have accurate shooting abilities.
If razor tooth lizard blood essence was used to improve the believers’ physique, then the final benefits would be very ordinary.
In Lorne’s opinion, the sacrifice this time was inferior to the bull they used in the previous sacrifice.
“It seems like we have to arrange for them to fight a war first.”
Lorne pondered.
It was not that the orcs can’t find a Tier-Three creature during this period, it was just that these Tier-Three creatures had huge hordes around them. Once the battle began, they would have to mobilize everyone to have a chance of winning.
Following Lorne’s request, the orcs could not directly engage in such a large-scale battle.
Any battle that would result in massive casualties would require Lorne’s permission.
Because of this, the orcs only captured a few Tier-Two creatures.
But now, they could no longer abide by this rule.
Lorne needed high-quality sacrifices so that he could receive sufficient benefits.
And so he called for Nia.
The black-scaled dragon soaring in the sky quickly and rushed into the clouds.
Then, she appeared on the divine plane.
“Master.”
Nia flew in front of Lorne and lowered her head.
“Yes.”
Lorne asked, “Have you found anything recently?”
“Yes.”
Nia said, “I followed your orders and explored the forest that was beyond 50 kilometers away from the territory. In the river valley, I found some traces of nests, but I didn’t find any traces of false god believers.”
While he was in his cultivation session, Lorne would occasionally give Nia orders.
For a flying dragon, 50 kilometers was too small.
A few days after becoming a believer, Nia had already checked all the surrounding areas thoroughly.
But because he was afraid that she may encounter believers from elite divine kingdoms, Lorne restricted her range of movement.
Beyond 50 kilometers a restriction that he just lifted in the past few days.
“What nests?”Lorne asked.
“There are wooden houses where the elves live, kobolds’ caves, and dwarf cottages.”
“How are the garrison forces?”
“They are all joint lairs. The garrison forces are around a few hundred people…”
Lorne’s eyes lit up when he heard the report.
Sure enough, the situation in the outer forest was much more complicated than in the nearby forest, considering that only a group of centaurs were discovered near the Monde tribe.
The rest were mostly low-level creatures with low intelligence.
In contrast, the forest beyond 50 kilometers away was different.
There were elves and dwarves there.
These two were typical forest creatures who have extraordinary combat abilities in a forest environment.
Especially the elves.
As long-range troops, they were the most famous hunters in the forest.
If he could have such a group of believers, the combat strength of his divine kingdom would greatly improve.
But now was not the time to crusade so far.
Lorne’s current target was the centaurs that were only a dozen of kilometers away.
Centaurs were good at surprise attacks.
If he had such a troop, he would have the ability to quickly attack the various nests.
A fast pace surprise attack could also prevent monsters in the wild from joining forces, preventing large-scale battles from happening, and effectively reducing the death of captives.
“Next, we will attack the Centaurs’ stables.”
“Now?”
Stables were the Centaurs’ lairs. A regular stable usually had 50 centaurs, and they were all warriors that were good at charging.
Moreover, centaurs also had a strong sense of combat.
They understood the importance of scope.
Therefore, most of the time, centaurs would form a tribe from a few stables. They would collaborate between offense and defense, using their strongest combat power to destroy the enemy.
If Lorne only had a group of orcs and kobolds, he might have delayed the battle in order to end the battle swiftly.
But with a powerful creature like Nia, he could ignore this concern.
“The impact of facing two hundred centaurs is very terrifying. We must reduce the possibility of joint forces.”
Lorne thought about it and said, “from the looks of it, splitting our forces into four groups and attacking at the same time should be our best choice.”
Centaurs were equivalent to cavalry, and the strongest part of cavalry was a collective charge.
And the more people there were, the more terrifying the damage would be.
So!
In order to reduce casualties, the orcs and kobolds must split into several legions and attack these small nests at the same time.
With Nia’s help, they should be able to quickly defeat them one by one and win the battle.
“Master, because the forest was too dense, my observation may not be very accurate. Before the battle starts, please allow me to send some kobolds to explore.”
Nia said.
She was a flying dragon and could fly in the sky. She could see the scene on the ground.
However, this was a forest. The dense trees would indeed affect her judgment. If there were still centaurs that had not been discovered, then the situation would be dangerous.
As to why send in the kobolds?
This was because the kobolds were more agile.
On the other hand, kobolds were cheap. If they were sent to scout the enemy, even if they were discovered and killed by the enemy, it would not be too much of a loss.
“Ok, go.”
With his permission, Nia returned to the worshippers’ world and began to give orders to the kobolds.
As a disciple to their god, she had the right to pass on his divine mandates.
The kobolds immediately sent out their men.
As for the Monde tribe, all of the creatures were extremely excited.
The huge creatures raised their battle axes and opened their mouths, letting out loud roars.
They were too eager to fight.
They already evolved into Tier-Two elite soldiers but their god restricted their actions, not even allowing them to start large-scale battles.
This made them feel helpless and melancholic.
This was because the orcs really wanted to present an exquisite sacrifice to their god to express their gratitude.
However, due to his rule, they had not been satisfied with their harvest. In the end, they even planned to use a Tier-Two creature as a sacrifice. This was indeed shameful.
