Chapter 488: Eradicating Chaos Winds

Actually, when selecting the overall commander earlier, Charlie had intended to recommend Donald, as in his view, Donald had always been a mysterious and powerful true god. No matter how far he advanced, Donald could always catch up unnoticed, even surpassing him.

Moreover, in the eyes of this king of the Celts, Donald’s ideas in various recent events had always been the most appropriate, even more thorough than his own.

Yet Donald rejected Charlie’s plan through telepathy.

“Your Highness Charlie, you are the king of the North and have dealt with many kingdom forces over the years. Your status will undoubtedly inspire greater trust among everyone. With you in charge at the forefront, it will also make it easier for me to create favorable situations behind the scenes!”

After Donald persuaded him in this way, the King of the North gave up his idea. In truth, one reason Donald told Charlie was this, but another reason was that he wasn’t ready to step forward yet. It was best to let the gods think he was just a promising new god while secretly strengthening his power!

Making a fortune quietly is a proven strategy in any world!

In the end, the role of commander fell to King Charlie of the North. Aside from a few factions who were dissatisfied, everyone else agreed to accept his leadership.

After all, compared to either the side of justice or darkness gaining command, it was better for a neutral true god who didn’t side with either to take charge, ensuring fairness and principle in battles and the distribution of spoils afterward!

However, the Morning Herald’s view was completely different. In his eyes, the Sea God was a true god of his own faction. Even if he didn’t help him gain power and chose to stay idle, it was still better than helping the enemies of the Great Lord of Dawn!

Moreover, the situation on the allied side had changed. If they could gain command by cooperating with the Sea God, they would have a better chance of completing the task assigned by His Highness Ivan!

It was frustrating that Bassetdo gave up such a good opportunity so easily, much to the anger of the Morning Herald!

“Since everyone agrees that I should command this operation, it’s an honor for me. So I won’t waste time with nonsense—let’s start assigning combat tasks now!”

After all, this was a plan aimed at a totem god system, and it had to be as thorough as possible to avoid any flaws that might lead to failure.

Due to Donald’s familiarity with the power distribution on the Totem Continent and the current situation, King Charles of the North widely adopted his advice, and no one else had much to say. All those present were powerful rulers who had already established dominance, so there was little need for further preparation, and they quickly set off in various groups. While the teams assigned to other targets headed in their respective directions, the last group to set out was the central army led by the two true gods of Celt and the Sea God Basseid. Their task was to launch a direct assault, first containing most of the Storm God’s forces to wait for the other teams to complete their missions, sever most of the Storm God’s forces, and then encircle them before completely eliminating the main targets, including the Storm God. As for the Messenger of Dawn, Charles deliberately assigned him to this central army, leaving him feeling frustrated. This was also Donald’s idea—to prevent this man from acting recklessly once out of their sight and disobeying orders, as that uncertain factor could ruin the entire operation! As for the powerful figures from other factions, with their shared interests and the restraint of the gods behind them, they were unlikely to deliberately oppose or sabotage them. Only the Messenger of the Lord of Dawn worried Donald, as he was merely a puppet of Prince Ivan, lacking his own independent judgment. If he believed something would benefit his true god, he would go ahead with it despite everyone else’s opposition! The domain of the Storm God lay in the coastal areas and inland regions near the coast in the southern part of the Totem Continent. However, its stronghold was located in a mountainous gorge near the central plains. The group of powerful figures was now flying high toward the Storm God’s stronghold. “According to internal information, the official name of the location of the Storm Tribe is Storm Gorge, situated in the mountains at the northernmost edge of the Storm God’s territory. Due to its complex terrain, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it also blocks the invasion of powerful totemic forces from the central and northern parts of the continent, allowing the Storm God to thrive in the southern region. Over the centuries, many demi-god warriors have emerged there!” After Donald spoke, the others nodded in agreement. Ksak, a high elf demi-god from the elf race known as the Daywarden, asked, “Then does Lord Donald know the exact strength of the Storm God’s forces?”

The Elven race can be said to be the group closest to Donald, aside from the Celts! This Sun-Chaser, Ksak, is also one of those who strongly advocate for Donald and his group to gain command authority.
Donald explained, “Regarding the Storm God faction, since they are mortal enemies of the White Mountain God faction, our neighbors in the United Kingdom, I’ve obtained quite a lot of useful information. Besides our most formidable target, the Storm God, he also has five powerful demigods under him: the Red Demon God, the Stone Bear God, the Eagle-Body God, the Storm God, and the Night Fire God!”
“There are also a few demigod totem gods with whom we have good relations. However, due to the Storm God’s unpredictable temper and chaotic ways, as well as the example of a demigod who came to help after losing in the previous attack on Sendel’s territory, if faced with a life-or-death crisis, the other totem gods would not risk their own destruction to assist the Storm God!”
“Oh? That’s good news. Prince Donald, please tell us more about the strength of these demigods under the Storm God!”
Although many factions on the main continent learned about the team led by the Storm God, who attacked the Land of Dawn with numerous powerful warriors, they didn’t know much about their true strength.
After all, even powerful higher gods cannot recklessly spy into the domains of other true gods and uncover their secrets. Thus, in a short time, the factions on the main continent’s understanding of the Totem Continent was limited to the information gathered from the totem gods they had conquered.
But since those who could surrender were mostly totem gods below the legendary level, not much was known about the true nature of the totem gods. Therefore, the general distribution of forces on the Totem Continent, as conveyed by Donald through the Goddess of Agriculture to his close neutral true god factions, was much more detailed—earning him many favors!
