Banner of the Evil God

"Your enemy?" Hearing the last sentence, Sui Xiong's chest suddenly ignited with the fire of gossip, and he hurriedly asked, "How did he change from your chosen one to your enemy? Since he is your enemy, why don't you turn him into your enemy?" He was beaten to a pulp, but you want to recommend him to me? "

Morani was silent for a while, and explained the cause and effect of the matter with a wry smile.

A long time ago - no, actually not that long ago, among the "lion men" of the orcs, there appeared an outstanding warrior named Leonard.

The creator of the lion-man clan has long since perished in the war with the human pantheon, so the beliefs of this clan are relatively scattered, and everyone believes in them. Leonard believes in the patron saint of armored warriors, the "Iron Lion" Morani.

"Huh? Is this your previous priesthood?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.

"I just held this position. At that time, my priesthood was heavy armor and blacksmithing." Morani said, "However, my achievements in the blacksmithing priesthood were very low, so this was my main business."

"Do gods also have main jobs and side jobs?"

"If you work in a large pantheon, there will often be."

After answering Sui Xiong's question, Morani continued to recall.

Leonard is an outstanding person who can be called a genius. He became a strong man at a young age and even entered the legendary realm that is beyond the reach of ordinary people without much effort. According to the tradition of the orcs, he joined the army as a matter of course, fighting at the forefront of the conflict with the Eagle Kingdom, and was as famous as "Iron Teeth" Iroh. One of the two is good at defense and the other is good at attacking. When the two of them joined forces, they even defeated the King of the Eagle Kingdom who was carrying the three artifacts of the Eagle.

As a god, Morani also has requirements for his clergy. One of the requirements is that "the armor and weapons of the clergy must be prepared by themselves." Leonard didn't know how to forge, so he turned to a plane merchant for help, and came to the dangerous world of beasts to hunt the legendary warcraft "Nimel King Kong Lion". With his powerful strength, he strangled the invulnerable terrifying monster to death, then brought the entire lion back to the tribe, and asked the shaman to cast a spell to empty out the lion's flesh and blood and internal organs, and transform the entire lion's skin into a heavy leather armor.

The name "Heavy Armored Lion" comes from this armor.

Morani therefore admired Leonard very much, promoted him to be his chosen one, and granted him eternal life.

At first glance, everything seems to be going well and the future will look good. Leonard will continue to grow like this and become a powerful demigod in the future, and may even become a god...

However, not long after, the accident happened.

It was autumn of that year, and the weather was a bit bad this year. There was obviously less grass on the grassland than in previous years.

This situation is relatively rare, and every time it occurs, it will trigger a war.

Generally speaking, this situation means that the orcs will launch a fierce offensive against human countries at autumn twilight, both to plunder food and to eliminate excessive populations.

Such wars are usually extremely tragic, because unlike in peacetime, a large number of races with insufficient combat effectiveness will be driven to the front lines, using their lives to consume human combat effectiveness - or in other words, eliminate every mouth that is crying for food.

Leonard's reaction to this was extremely violent. He said that they were robbing humans due to lack of food. He fully agreed, but how could he let those weak races die because of lack of food?

"I am a heavily armored warrior, and my job is to protect people on the battlefield. I can't just watch this happen!"

He roared so loudly that he even disturbed the orc emperor's court.

However, it was all to no avail.

The problem of food shortage cannot be solved by just a legendary strongman. The food that can be grabbed from human countries is actually very limited. Rather than grabbing food, it is more practical to eliminate the population.

The war that year was very tragic, with countless deaths. Leonard fought crazily on the battlefield. He was covered in blood countless times. The blood even changed the color of the skin of the King Kong Lion, which was invulnerable to water and fire, and was stained with terror. of scarlet.

However, he couldn't do anything in the end.

Afterwards, Leonard was depressed for a long time. He began to doubt whether he was useful and questioned the value of his life.

To comfort him, the Orc Emperor gave him one of his daughters in marriage. Soon his child was born, and Leonard cheered up again because of the warmth of his family.

A few years later, the orcs got news: the God of Knights and the God of Justice, who guarded the Eagle Kingdom, began to cooperate and were about to launch a war against the orcs.

This makes the orc gods very uneasy. Although the God of Knights is old, his majesty is still there; although the God of Justice has an unreliable character, he is extremely powerful. With the powerful alliance, coupled with the combat effectiveness of the human god system, it is possible that the orc god system will be defeated again in this wave of war.

In this case, Lefon, the main god of the orc pantheon, found the war pantheon and learned a plan from the god of strategy.

A very vicious and very effective plan.

Soon after, the plan was put into action.

The specific content of the plan is very complicated, and the implementation process is also very complicated, which is difficult to describe in one sentence, but the effect of the plan can be described in one sentence.

The border guards of the Eagle Kingdom took the initiative to attack and massacred nearly a hundred tribes. More than 100,000 orc civilians, regardless of age or sex, were massacred and no one was spared.

This incident shocked the entire pantheon and made Thunder, the god of justice, furious. He jumped on his feet and scolded the people of the Eagle Kingdom for going too far and giving up the plan of forming an alliance and cooperation.

In general, this plan was a great success. It only paid a negligible price for the gods and successfully avoided a great crisis.

However, when Leonard learned about this plan later, the anger that had been accumulated in his heart completely broke out.

It was a large-scale melee. Leonard, who was already at the peak of the legend at that time, was extremely powerful, and many people supported him. They fought a fierce battle with the cold faction headed by the orc emperor, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

This time, Leonard would not give in, and no one could persuade him.

Including Morani.

His stubbornness angered the orc gods, and the gods sent down divine punishment. Leonard's comrades and family died in the divine punishment, and he himself almost died.

However, at the moment of life and death, Leonard broke through the limit and stepped into the realm of demigod.

Divine punishment can kill legendary strongmen, but it is meaningless to demigods. The only way to kill a demigod is for the gods to send down an incarnation to kill it.

Reynard broke out and left the Orc Empire, becoming a lone ranger.

He gave up his faith in Morani, and in front of Morani's temple, he threw away the lion skin heavy armor that he regarded as a treasure and symbolized all the glory of his first half of life, and put on a simple steel heavy armor. He no longer used the name "Heavy Armored Lion", but wandered around under the name "Paul".

He believed that the tyranny and cruelty of the gods were the root cause of most disasters in the world, so when he later became powerful enough to be deified and became the "God of Wandering Heroes", he gave up deification and became an evil god.

And what he liked to do most was to prevent the gods from expanding their influence, destroy the actions of those powerful gods to recruit slave gods, and... persuade those strong people who tried to be deified to give up this idea and join the ranks of evil gods.

After this war, Morani also began to reflect. In the end, he broke away from the Orc pantheon, led a group of simple people to establish the Savage Pantheon, and became the patron saint of half-orcs, warriors and forgers.

"It sounds like a very sad story..." After listening to Morani's story, Sui Xiong pondered for a while and said, "Are you sure he will help me? Instead of giving me an axe when we meet?"

"I'm sure." Morani said seriously, "I watched him grow up, and I know his character very well. Although you often do some unreliable things, your various major policies are exactly what he appreciates the most."

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course!" Morani laughed, "I am still looking forward to him returning to the right path under your guidance, walking on the path of gods, and becoming a real god!"

So Sui Xiong went to visit Reynard.

Reynard's residence is not secret. This stubborn and powerful evil god has never had the intention of dodging. When Sui Xiong visited him, he didn't even bring weapons and armor, and came to greet Sui Xiong in casual clothes.

This evil god no longer looks like a lion man. He looks like a mixed-race man in his forties with slightly orc features. There is a thick beard on his resolute face, but there is no trace of wildness. He was tall and strong, but not bloated or heavy, and looked very flexible. He had no murderous aura and stood there calmly, but anyone who saw him would realize that he was a strong man who should not be underestimated.

"I understand." After listening to Sui Xiong's explanation, Leonard said calmly, "Okay, I'll help you."

Sui Xiong was stunned. He had originally thought of many words to persuade him, and prepared many examples. He planned to quote a lot of evidence and talk for days and nights, and finally use Tang Seng's unique skills to convince Leonard. But he didn't expect that this evil god was so easy to talk to and agreed directly.

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help asking, "Why? Can you easily agree to such a thing?"

"You are a good person." Reynard replied, "I like your policies very much. If you can promote the popularization of the republican system throughout the world, then I have no problem working for you."

Sui Xiong finally understood the crux of the problem. While secretly complaining that Morani didn't talk about the key points, he secretly thanked his university political teacher and was glad that he didn't skip the political class to play online games.

Although the development of the matter was somewhat unexpected, the result was good, and that was enough.

Sui Xiong was very satisfied!
