Chapter 465: The Orks Attack Again

Donald certainly wouldn’t stubbornly ignore the opinions of the Agricultural Goddesses. Besides, he didn’t have the time to deal with dictator Ughesh for now.
But things often don’t go as one wishes. He had no intention of taking action, yet the other side had already come knocking.
This time, the true gods present weren’t just the Orc Chief God, dictator Ughesh, who ruled over slaughter, tyranny, and war, but also the newly deified Orc God of Birth, Kala; the Orc God of Plunder, Bigel; the Voodoo God, Male; and the Orc God of Barbarism, Sagum.
After learning the lesson of being alone before, Ughesh’s remaining soul hid in the main world, waiting for his divinity to recover. During that time, he split his major domains and divinities, keeping only the four domains of Orcs, slaughter, tyranny, and war. The rest were given to the four most powerful legends among the Orc forces.
After centuries of suppression, releasing their power all at once allowed them to rapidly rise to the level of demigods or even new gods in a short time.
Although splitting his divinity reduced Ughesh’s status to that of a mid-tier god, it accelerated his recovery and allowed him to create four new gods for the Orc pantheon. As the saying goes, it’s hard to fight four opponents with two fists. No matter how strong one person is, if they can’t surpass all their opponents, they will eventually be defeated. But with a weaker strength and multiple allies by their side, the chances of victory increase!
As Ughesh ascended to his throne, the Three Glorious Gods sent their avatars and demigod messengers to prevent him from raising his godly kingdom to a higher realm. Even if they couldn’t stop him, they wanted to drain his divine power and cause him more trouble.
But they didn’t expect four new gods, each stronger than demigods, to suddenly appear in Ughesh’s kingdom, catching the Three Glorious Gods off guard and forcing them to retreat in disarray.
The battles fought by these beings above demigod level in the sky created a spectacle as dazzling as stars competing with the moon, visible to almost all mortals in the main world—Donald and the other true gods were no exception.
During this time, the gods were busy focusing on dividing the benefits of the new continent and had long forgotten the minor moves of the Orcs. As a result, the actions of the Three Glorious Gods were doomed to fail—a clear miscalculation on the part of the human gods.

With the defense of these four newly risen gods, Ughesh was able to focus entirely on advancing his divine kingdom. Having gained experience once before, the dictator successfully raised his kingdom to its former position in the upper realms, and the Blood Wasteland, which once covered vast areas of those upper realms, reappeared.

After Ughesh’s orcish divine kingdom was successfully established, the four newly risen gods under him did not leave the main world, fearing that the human faction might send forces from there to attack the orc race. After all, a divine kingdom as vast as the Blood Wasteland could easily accommodate all the true gods of the orcish pantheon, leaving no need to keep them in the main world and prevent them from ascending to lower godhood.

With these four newly risen gods at their side, the orc race in the Northwest Wasteland became, for a time, the most powerful force on the main continent. Of course, this was also because Donald had hidden his true strength, so no one was aware of it.

Meanwhile, human forces focused their main efforts on the new continent, which only fueled the greed and ambition of the orcs, who were already skilled in plundering and destruction!

For years, the orcs had been confined to the vast but barren Northwest Wasteland, suffering great oppression. Now that there was an opportunity to release this pressure, it erupted violently, like a barrel of gunpowder set alight.

Back then, the combined forces of the three tribes invaded Theldor and suffered a crushing defeat, sparking a major upheaval among the orc tribes.

After each shaman-priest died, whether in battle or of old age, their soul would return to their tribe’s beast god totem to be purified by the spirits of their ancestors, becoming a new spirit. This spirit served as the seed for becoming a shaman-priest. Whenever a priest apprentice with the right mental strength was chosen, they would go before the beast god totem to receive the inheritance from the ancestral spirits.

This unique method of inheritance has existed among the orcs since ancient times, not just established by Ughesh to restore his own divine soul. In the absence of true gods, if the flame of ancestral spirits was lost, the orcish shamans would be completely cut off and vanish from history.

After escaping back to the Northwest Wasteland, the old shaman reported what he had seen to the chief shaman of the Ox-Head Tribe. Given the seriousness of the situation, the chief orcish shaman naturally would not allow humans to disrupt the souls of the shaman-priests. If they continued to plunder the humans, war would continue, and within a hundred years, the lineage of shaman-priests in the orc tribes would be extinguished, leaving the orcs without any magical professions to rival human mages and priests.

Once this happened, it seemed only a matter of time before the orcs were completely reduced to slaves of other races or even exterminated. However, at a critical moment when their god was reviving, only a few shaman-priests among the orc tribes knew the details. After discussing it, they kept the matter under wraps. When their great orc god regained his throne, the matter was brought up again. The shaman-priests, now titled High Priests of the Orc God, consulted the four gods who presided over the orc race and set Gadré and Celt as their first targets for attack. The border with Gadré was a flat area with no natural barriers, and years of mutual slaughter had built up a great deal of resentment. Celt, with only two newly risen gods and no other powerful godly sects, and being adjacent to orc territory, was undoubtedly an excellent target for retaliation! Thus, the orc population of several million immediately split into two groups, sending two armies of over a hundred thousand each to the southern and western battlefields. When news of another orc invasion reached the border of the Kingdom of Celt, King Charles of the North rushed to Donald’s side immediately, and the two gods began discussing the situation. As gods, they could naturally detect the orcs’ movements early on, and the orcs had no intention of hiding them—there was no attempt to conceal their troop movements. This time, the situation was extremely serious; the orcs had gathered at least a dozen tribes at the border, with a fierce army of nearly a hundred thousand attacking. Considering Celt’s population base, including the private armies of various nobles throughout the kingdom, it was doubtful whether their military forces could even reach a hundred thousand. Faced with a hundred thousand orcs, the Ansel Holy Sword Legion, one of the kingdom’s strongest armies, along with its supporting troops, numbered only five thousand. How could they defend the kingdom’s northwestern border against such a massive attack?
