The Gods Descend
"We can give him the territory, but forget about pledging allegiance. We can surrender, but we need to make the oath more concrete. We must make it clear that we are working for the people to achieve peace with them, not willingly becoming their lackeys."
Varian spoke to his royal mage.
Since mages are generally intellectuals, they are sometimes asked to take on important paperwork as a side job. At this time, the Royal Mage Chief was drafting the oath. As for the Horde, the Blood Elf were helping with that. The roughnecks like Orcs Tauren wouldn't know how to do these things.
"Ah, it's written. What do you two think?" After a long while, the two oaths were finally brought out.
The two oaths are largely similar, essentially stating that due to some unnecessary reasons, the Alliance and Horde had an unpleasant conflict with the Great Elemental King. Now, the Alliance and Horde have realized that the conflict was not beneficial to either side, and the two leaders have acknowledged their mistakes. In order to maintain peace and avoid further casualties, both sides are willing to cede the Burning Steppes, Winterspring, Biting Wind Wastes, and White Rock Mountains to the Elementals as territory, and from this day forward, they will absolutely not launch any attacks against the Elementals. The two sides have reached a peace agreement, and all past events are forgotten, sworn as proof.
"That's right, that's exactly it, but I don't know if the Elemental King will agree," Thrall said with some concern.
This oath is completely different from loyalty; it is essentially a conditional surrender agreement, or a peace agreement involving territorial concessions and reparations.
However, neither leader dared to concede too much, otherwise their subordinates would object. Offering such conditions already required a great deal of determination.
However, before the contents of the oath were even revealed, Xiao Yu already knew about it, through a private chat between Mephist and Esmehalda. Xiao Yu could accept this outcome; continuing the fight would be pointless, as it was impossible to wipe out all the adventurers.
Since that's the case, occupying a few territories for development isn't a bad idea. These four territories all produce a large amount of ores needed by elemental creatures, which can train more elemental armies and effectively enhance the strength of the elemental race. This is much more reliable than any plans to destroy the world or sweep across the entire globe.
Just as the leaders of the Alliance and the Horde were about to make their vows and were close to deciding to negotiate peace.
The archbishop, observing this, felt a surge of anxiety. As a member of the GM team, he knew very well that this was a situation the boss absolutely did not want to see.
"Great Holy Light, please guide me and tell me how to overcome this crisis." The archbishop prayed softly. Of course, he wasn't so much playing games that he had become too immersed in the game and taken the Holy Light as his real faith. Rather, he wanted to contact his boss in this way, so that his boss could usually hear his prayers if he was present.
God of Holy Light: I have heard your prayers. Now, I will personally intervene. Welcome my arrival.
[System Prompt: The God of Holy Light wishes to descend upon you. Do you accept? Warning: Accepting the divine descent will make your body a vessel for the deity, potentially leading to unpredictable consequences. Yes/No.]
Upon seeing the notification, the archbishop was both surprised and delighted. He was delighted that his boss was finally going to make a move, but surprised that his boss was going to use the possession feature. This was no joke; if the archbishop's body was used to descend, the archbishop might die, or at least his strength would be greatly reduced. An account like the Holy Light Archbishop's was very valuable; if he died, his boss might have to switch to a lower-level account.
But he didn't dare refuse; after all, that was the boss.
Upon accepting the arrival, an immense power instantly took over his body, replacing his control over his physical form, and the archbishop was reduced to an observer.
At that very moment, an astonishing Holy Light suddenly burst forth from the archbishop's body.
"Good heavens, what is that?" Everyone looked towards the archbishop and saw a phantom that looked like the sun appear on his body. Within that phantom sun, one could vaguely see the dignified face of an old man. If one was familiar with the game company, it would not be difficult to see that the face bore a striking resemblance to Li Mingfei.
"Holy Light above, what on earth is happening?!"
"It is the God of Holy Light!"
"The God of Holy Light has descended!"
Those Priest and Paladin who believed in the Holy Light knelt down one after another, including a large number of humans, dwarves, Blood Elf heroes, and ordinary NPCs, and even Tauren (Tauren also have Paladin and Priest).
The Archbishop of Holy Light's body slowly floated up under the power of Holy Light. His eyes no longer had pupils; instead, they shone with holy Holy Light. He spoke in an incomparably sacred voice.
Benedictus (the embodiment of the God of Holy Light): "I am the God of Holy Light, my people. I have heard your prayers for the Holy Light, and now I answer you. Do not fear, do not be afraid, the Holy Light is with you."
Boom! Another beam of light shot out from the crowd, this time a dazzling white light, as pure and white as moonlight. The person Possession was Kaya Shadow Moon Goddess Ranger. Just now, Kaya Shadow Hunter was idly watching the plot when she suddenly received a system notification.
[System Prompt: The Elune wishes to descend upon you. Do you accept her descent? Warning: Once you accept the goddess's descent, your body will become the vessel for her, potentially leading to unpredictable consequences. Yes/No.]
Out of curiosity, Kaya clicked "accept," and the next second, she was possessed by the Elune.
Kaya the Shadow Hunter (Avatar of the Moon Goddess): "I am Elune. The Moon Goddess's radiance is with you. I sense the turmoil in your hearts. Tell my people, what is troubling you?"
This time, it was all the Night Elf and Tauren who knelt down.
Then a third light appeared, this time a red light symbolizing bloodshed and slaughter, and the person Possession was the Ox, Dragon-Slaying Blademaster.
Ox (the incarnation of the God of War): "I am Odin, God of War. Tell my Horde's warriors why you wander aimlessly, why you have lost all will to fight."
Most of the Orcs worshipped the god of war, so they all knelt down immediately.
The simultaneous descent of the three main gods was truly earth-shattering. Not only were the heroes and soldiers present shocked, but the adventurers were also completely stunned.
Varian and Thrall exchanged a glance, thinking that since everyone else was kneeling, they should kneel too. However, as leaders of their factions, they naturally had some pride, so they only knelt on one knee as a token gesture.
Varian Wrynn (King of Stormwind City): "Great three gods, our world is suffering destruction. Azathoth, Elemental King, and his army are about to destroy our cities and kill our people. For the safety of our people, I have decided to make peace with them."
