Miracle Throne

Chapter 411: Lobbying

Green City, the Shaman temple. There were several dozen Shamans surrounding the altar, holding a ceremony.

The Shaman Religion came from the Savage Highlands and most of the followers were spirit beasts, orcs, or trolls who believed in the Shaman God and the Witch God. There was the Shaman Religion around Green City several hundred years ago, but the gnomes’ Green Religion was too strong, so the Shaman Religion could never develop. The gnomes had been weakening over the decades from the chaos, so the Shaman Religion welcomed this chance to develop in the Green City region.

Several decades ago, the Savage Highlands sent High Priest Mars to Green City, who was responsible for the development in the Green City area. Because of High Priest Mars’ strong abilities and the support from the Savage Highlands, the Shamans had increased by several dozen folds in just a few decades.

Now there were several tens of thousands who grasped witchcraft in Green City!

These several tens of thousands of Shaman Sorcerers were all dangerous people, but there was over a hundred of these people who had become priests.

If a Shaman Sorcerer wanted to become a priest, not only did they have to be in the True Spirit Realm, they also had to have a high degree of proficiency with witchcraft.

Just like this.

The Shaman Religion stood firm in Green City.

The High Priest led several tens of thousands of Shaman Sorcerers to negotiate with the gnomes and obtained the qualification to create a temple in Green City before spreading to the surrounding tribes. The followers the Shaman Religion had in the forest was at least several hundred thousands!

This was a power that could already threaten Green City!

At this time, an entire two thousand strong figures were currently densely distributed in the Shaman temple. They didn’t move like they were carved from stone, but each person was releasing a terrifying aura. They were definitely powerful people from the forest.

They were already no longer people.

These fellows were covered in Shaman Religion runes and their body was like a painting. From their feet, to their heads, to their chests, and to their fingers, they were completely covered. A strong curse power was being released from their bodies.

Voodoo Puppets, this was a puppet cruelly refined with witchcraft.

The Shaman Sorcerers danced and singed around the puppets and softly pulled on their hair, pulling their scalp off their skulls, just like opening a lid. However, these puppets did not move at all.

The head of each puppet had already been emptied a long time ago.

The Shaman Sorcerer picked up a group of bugs that was like several thousand centipedes crawling together, moving without stop. He placed it all into the empty head of the puppet.

Each insect was refined with a large amount of effort from the Shaman Sorcerer. After forcing these powerful witchcraft bugs into the puppet’s head, the Shaman Sorcerer closed the head again before dancing and singing again.

On the Shaman altar, there was a white haired old troll raising both hands as a vigorous energy surrounded the Shaman temple.

“Great Shaman God and Witch God!”

“Please receive the sacrifices of your servants and grant these puppets a great strength!”

An intense light was released from the altar and finally turned into thousands of light that fell onto the puppets. The insects that had been crawling inside the puppet’s head suddenly became several times more active as they drilled into the puppet’s body. There were bugs crawling under the skin of the puppets and the light surrounding them became several times stronger.

Finally.

The motionless things like statues had awakened.

Eyeballs suddenly appeared in their empty eye sockets which were filled with thought. They all kneeled down on one knee and shouted in a low roar, “Long live the Shaman Religion!”

The two thousand Voodoo Puppets carefully refined had finally been activated.

These puppets were not ordinary puppets. They were covered from head to toe in runes, letting each one have a terrifying battle strength. They had almost undying bodies, not fearing fire, water, acid, or cuts and they had simple thought. This could simply be called a perfect puppet soldier!

“The time is already here!” The white haired old troll opened its eyes and revealed a pair of sparkling eyes, “We must crush Green City in this battle!”

This was the High Priest Mars from the Savage Highlands. An old troll with incomparably deep skills in witchcraft, who was already over a hundred and fifty years old.

Mars shouted in a low voice, “Luz!”

“High Priest, what are your orders?”

A green skinned orc stood in front of Mars. Luz was an orc priest and although he was young, his attainment in witchcraft was very shocking. Luz was second only to Mars in terms of witchcraft, so he had a very high position in the Green City Shaman Religion. He was basically the second most important person and was the aide of Mars.

Mars looked at his assistant and said, “How is the preparation of the outside army?”

Luz replied, “Those tribes will be attacking soon and the Shaman army will also attack. With both sides and our inner army, there is a 90% chance of winning this fight.”

“We can’t be negligent. Although the gnomes are weak, no one knows if they have a trump card or not.” Mars said in a low voice, “The gnomes have surrendered to the Eternal Forest, so we don’t have much time. We need to use the pieces we buried among the gnomes, go and activate them.”

“Yes, High Priest!”

Luz led several Shaman Sorcerers under a cliff and activated their witchcraft. They activated the pawns the Shamans had placed among the gnome high level members many years ago.

These pieces had unknowingly been affected by the Shaman’s “Mind Control Gu Insect”. This insect had parasitized the gnomes’ brains and as long as they Shamans did not activate it, these gnomes would seem normal.

Now was the time to use these pieces.

Luz and the other Shaman Sorcerers began chanting, feeling the presence of these insects. They activated them one by one, allowing the insects to transmit their thoughts, having these gnomes come here to meet them.

The Sorcerers could send simple thoughts through the insects like summoning them here.

But complicated instructions couldn’t be directly sent. The Shaman Sorcerer had to summon the host and directly give the orders to the host.

After around twenty minutes.

There were five gnome figures that appeared here.

These were five gnomes controlled by the Shaman. They were all high level members of the gnome clan and as long as they controlled these gnomes to turn off the barrier and the Green Protectors, it would freeze the Green City defenses and increase their chances by at least 20%.

“Begin!”

Luz waved his hand.

Five Shaman Sorcerers moved towards the five gnomes, as they reached out their hand to control them and give them orders. Suddenly, the five gnomes made their move at the same time. Poisonous vines jumped out of the ground and instantly surrounded the sorcerers caught off guard, finally passing through the bodies directly.

“What?!”

Luz was shocked. Before he even understood what happened, the surrounding grass was filled with a kind of power as a low and deep voice reverberated in his ears.

“God of Nature, please grant all things the vitality of a giant dragon!”

This was the Green Religions technique, “Giant Dragon Power”. It was definitely a high level technique and there were less than five people in Green City who could use it. Luz already couldn’t run and the soft grass suddenly went wild as it almost instantly turned him into a giant rice dumpling.

When infused with the power of nature, each blade of grass was as hard as iron. Moreover, there was a very terrifying energy within, so even if the other side was an Earth Dragon, they could be torn to pieces.

The energy released from this grass was enough to suppress Luz’s spirit energy, making him lose the ability to resist.

Clark put down his long staff and revealed a cold smile, “I never would have thought!”

“It’s you!”

Luz saw Clark and the five sorcerers who had been taken care off before looking at these five normal gnomes. He could clearly feel that the gu insects were still in their heads, but why could he not activate them at all.

At this time, there was a handsome human youth and a charming fox clan member walking out from behind Clark.

Demonic God Religion’s priest?

Luz could not understand why such a weak religion’s priest would show up here.

Delores revealed a charming smile, “Sir City Lord’s predictions are truly sharp. Not only did we catch someone, we caught the Shaman Religion’s number two. Strange, why did you know Mars would send this person here?”

“Making the gnome puppets turn off the Green City’s defenses is a very important mission. If I was the High Priest, I would also send the most capable person.”

“How do we handle this person? I think we should just directly kill him.” Delores’ words mand Luz’s face change. She continued saying, “This fellow’s status in the Shaman Sect is not low, not only will we decrease the Shaman Religion’s strength by killing him, we’ll be able to raise our own morale.”

Clark also thought this.

Luz’s witchcraft skills were only second to Mars. This sneak attack had gone so easily, otherwise he would not think that it would ever be this easy to defeat him.

Chi Tian shook his head as he walked in front of Luz, “Priest Luz, you were a local shaman since your father’s generation. Before Mars came, your father was the head of the local shamans, am I right?”

“So what?”

“If there was no Mars, you could inherit your father’s title and become the local Shamans’ leader.” The meaning of Chu Tian’s words were very clear, “The Shamans are relatively independent, so why do you need to listen to Mars’ orders and become the Savage Highland’s puppets?”

Luz revealed a cold smile, “Don’t you think trying to lobby me like this is laughable?”

“I think you should think through this problem first, I am not trying to convince you. To extinguish a trivial Shaman Religion, it is not difficult for me, I’m just not sure on what method to use. I just feel that completely making the Shamans disappear from Green City is a waste, after all, the Shaman’s witchcraft has a bit of use!”

Luz’s face became strange.

The one this fellow spoke in seemed like he didn’t place the local Shaman Religion in his eyes at all.

Mars was a Shaman priest sent by the Savage Highlands and he took orders directly from the Savage Highlands, so there was no chance of discussing with him. The only one he could hope to use was this Luz.

Chu Tian said, “First I’ll introduce myself. I am the permanent City Lord personally sent by the Elven King, this will become my territory. I’ll give you two choices now, the first is to be destroyed with the Shaman Religion and the second is to ally with me in defeating Mars. I will allow you become the leader of the local shamans and give you both protection and freedom, allowing the Shaman Religion join Green City and develop in Green City.”

The Eternal Forest had sent a human as a City Lord?

Luz looked at Clark. Although Clark had a complicated expression on his face, it seemed like he was speaking the truth.

“I am not too clear on your witchcraft, but I am a bit confident in alchemy.” Chu Tian took out a pill and forced it into Luz’s mouth, “This will activate in three days and will corrode you from inside, finally melting you and you will die. Don’t leave things to chance, there is no one who can cure my pill in the Forest of Chaos. I believe you are a smart person and smart people will make the smart choice.”

“I have at least ten ways of destroying you all. Even if Green City cannot destroy you, are you willing to fall into the Savage Highland’s hands and degenerate into a pawn that could be sacrificed at any moment?”

“The words have been said, you can decide for yourself!”

Chu Tian waved at Clark and Clark released the bindings. Chu Tian did not spare him another glance as he led Clark and Delores away.

“Damn!”

Luz could feel that the power of the pill had entered every cell in his body in just a few seconds. He had never seen such a powerful poison that would actually not activate right away.

The human was probably not lying, perhaps there really was no one in the Forest of Chaos that could cure this poison. Not to mention that it would only be delayed for a short three days. This also meant that if he didn’t make a decision in three days, he would be dead.

Damn!

He fell into this situation because he was careless!

Where did that mysterious human come from?

From his appearance, it seemed like he didn’t place the Shaman Religion in his eyes.

When Luz returned to the Shaman temple, High Priest Mars looked at him, “Have the pieces been prepared?”

Luz lowered his head as he revealed a slightly strange look. He said in a calm voice, “Be assured High Priest, everything has been prepared.”
