The Ambitious One

The four Loa were not surprised by Shadra's actions; as the chieftain Shadra would flexibly adapt to the situation and make the best choice.

"Have you considered that if we don't help you, your once-solid Alliance will crumble because of your lies?" said Loa Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk Loa.

"We really don't like your arrogance," said Loa Halazzi, the Wild Bear Loa, as he walked up behind Shadra.

The four Loa were summoned by the priests and descended here in spirit form.

"But your ambitions are just what we want!" said Eagle Loa Akil'zon, the Eagle, with a laugh.

After the Eagle Loa finished speaking, the other three Loa laughed.

"How do you want us to help you?" said Lynx Loa Halazzi the Lynx.

"All you Loa need to do is temporarily seal your divine power within the bodies of your priests," Shadra said, revealing a solution that had been buried deep within him.

Since childhood, Shadra had wondered why the priests of his tribe always chanted long incantations when using Loa spells instead of casting them directly.

This problem had been on Shadra's mind for a long time, and he kept thinking about how to change it.

Finally, after a hunt, he came up with a solution.

The idea of sealing the Loa's power within Troll's body grew wildly in Shadra's mind.

By sealing the Troll's power within Troll body, not only can the lengthy spellcasting be avoided, but the Troll's power can also be increased.

At that time, Shadra told the old chief about his idea, but the result was that the old chief gave Shadra a severe scolding.

The old chieftain said that Shadra had no reverence for the Loa, but Shadra replied that this would reduce the probability of his people dying in battle and increase efficiency.

The two Troll had a big fight over this, which also made Shadra want to compete for the chieftainship.

Only by becoming the chief could he change this situation.

From then on, Shadra began striving to become the next chieftain.

Shadra was exceptionally brave even as a child; he was the strongest among his peers.

His powerful physique gave him immense strength, which earned him a high standing among the younger generation.

Moreover, ever since his attempt to change the way the Loa's power was used was rejected, Shadra has kept his thoughts hidden.

He gave the other Troll the illusion that he had returned to his former glory, but in reality, he had gone into hiding.

Only when he becomes chief can he realize his revenge.

Shadra climbed step by step to the position of chief, clearing away all obstacles in his way.

After ascending to the position of chieftain, Shadra's ambitions went beyond simply changing the way the Loa were used in his clan.

He longed to unify all the Forest Troll tribes, and this ambition began to grow in his heart once again.

The higher you stand, the more insignificant you realize how small your previous ideas were.

After becoming chief, Shadra worked to strengthen the Amani Horde while also seeking an opportunity to annex other clans.

The arrival of the elves presents a perfect opportunity.

Shadra could use war to weaken the power of other clans while increasing his own influence among them.

"Do you know what you're saying?" said Loa Nalorakk, the Wild Bear Loa.

The four Loa looked somewhat off; they were clearly shocked by Shadra's unorthodox words.

"I should know."

"Although this idea is incredibly crazy," Shadra said calmly.

Shadra's expression didn't even change, and his tone remained calm.

"Since you know that what you're saying won't be accepted by us, why did you say it in the first place?" Dragonhawk Loa Jan'alai said, taking flight.

"We could easily kill you because of what you said." The Lynx Loa Halazzi also extended its paw from its paw pads, ready to strike Shadra.

"While we admire you, that's no excuse for you to do whatever you want," said Eagle Loa Akil'zon, the Eagle.

"While the idea is somewhat crazy, it's not without its merits."

"All I see is that mortals' awe of us is disappearing," roared Loa Nalorakk the Wild Bear Loa.

The Wild Bear Loa's words resonated with the other three Loa, all four of Loa believed that such behavior would diminish the awe that mortals held for them.

"Loa, please listen to me." Seeing that the four Loa were reacting somewhat agitated, Shadra quickly changed his tone to calm them down.

"While this behavior may diminish the awe that mortals hold for you, it also better demonstrates your power."

"This act directly demonstrates your power to your believers."

"The Troll Warrior, empowered by the gods, slaughtered their way across the battlefield."

"You will gain more believers and receive more faith."

"And the cost is reducing some meaningless things."

Shadra's words struck the hearts of the four Loa like heavy hammer blows.

Shadra's words were also very tempting, and the four Loa were also tempted.

By giving up something meaningless, one can gain more believers and faith.

This is a sure thing for them, but once they start, they can't stop.

They couldn't guarantee that an exception wouldn't appear among the Forest Troll in the future.

They were sealed directly inside the Troll's body, using the Troll's body as a prison for them.

In this way, their power would be controlled by the Troll, and they would only become a source of power.

"We can infuse the power of the Loa into the bodies of our priests."

"Let them temporarily gain our power."

The four Loa made up their minds and agreed to the solution proposed by Shadra.

Shadra was delighted to hear that the four Loa had agreed to his proposed solution.

"But Shadra, this comes at a price!" said Loa Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk Loa.

"Please tell us, and we will do our best to accommodate your request," Shadra said.

"We only bestow power upon the most devout priests."

"The power can only be used for three days; after three days, the power will dissipate."

"The four of us will only bestow power upon the corresponding priest."

"That's what we asked for," said Lynx Loa Halazzi of the Lynx.

This was the result of discussions among the four Loa, and it was also their bottom line.

"Of course I agree." Shadra thought for a moment and then agreed.

"When may you, gentlemen, bestow your blessings?"

"It will be available when you need it."

"All you need to do is send someone over to tell us."

"We will send Troll priest who has gained divine power to report to you."

The four Loa offered a solution.

Shadra didn't refuse, after all, such good things were rare these days.
