Chapter 1838: Full To Bursting.
It is not as if they need any reason to attack others apart from wanting more divinity. But this time they have a very good reason to try and cull their enemies first.
Their attack took the gods off guard. They died in swarths. Most of them scattered in fear because of the carnage. They were too busy running for their lives to notice Legion-4's special state. It was only a few that noticed their odd state and suspected them of claiming the domain.
One of those astute gods shouted, "He has the domain."
This roused the gods. The highly coveted domain made them prioritize something other than their life. They became bold enough to stop. But they were not as bold as the person who shouted would have liked.
It is true that the Orc Bandits have the domain, but it doesn't change the fact that they are very strong. So the gods paused uncertainly as they waited for someone to take action first.
They stopped trying to escape and instead decided to form a barrier around the clones. Unfortunately their hesitation cost them as Legion used it to kill more gods. This made the gods step back in fear again.
Another god shouted, "Don't be afraid of them. They are not domain gods yet. He needs to return to the altar before they can become domain gods. We outnumber them and I am calling for helpers right now. We can defeat them."
This emboldened the gods, so they swarmed the clones from every direction in order to stall them. But unlike what they expected, the clones didn't run away. This is despite the fact that they had numerous opportunities to do so.
They even have superior speed that should help them escape. But instead of escaping, the clones focused on killing the gods. It was as if they wanted to make up for the one month that Smite had them hold off on killing. Now they could go all out without care.
The gods were tempted by the domain, but they were not ignorant about the speed that the Orc Bandits were capable of, and they were not so stupid that they couldn't figure out why the Orc Bandits were not escaping.
They were well informed about the capabilities of the Orc Bandits; they could see this capability as many gods died right in front of them, and they were smart, so they came to an understanding of what's going on very quickly. This made them feel despair.
One god put away her weapon into her inventory and said, "You know what? I am done with this."
True to her word, she turned around and ran away. She doesn't think she can escape, and she is resigned to losing her armor, but she is hell bent on trying to escape.
That's what the gods became determined to do after a while. They forgot about the domain and focused on something that is more feasible than getting the domain from the Orc Bandits.
It was more feasible, but the Orc Bandits were not going to make it easy for them either. The clones chased after the gods as they scattered.
The barricade around them was gone when the gods scattered. But even with the absence of any form of obstacle, the Orc Bandits refused to escape. They continued killing as if they didn't have a domain to worry about.
This delay in escaping allowed the reinforcements to come. Up to a thousand gods came with determination and fanfare to subdue the Orc Bandits and take the domain from them. Less than 200 managed to remain alive after 5 minutes.
Next came the reinforcement of five thousand gods. This wave of reinforcement rallied the gods they met along the way and the ones that they were escaping. They besieged the Orc Bandits only to suffer a resounding defeat.
This time, there were too many gods escaping for the Orc Bandits to chase effectively. But they still didn't give up. They chased the one thousand escaping gods and killed metaphorical blood of the divine flower into a river.
Two more clones actually had to come from Gemmis with large carriers to move the divine orbs that they had acquired. While the other clones were busy killing, two clones were moving large carriages formed into a train full of divine orbs like donkeys pulling a cart.
The fourth wave came soon after. They were ten thousand in number. They were loud and bold in their match. The clones were eager to take them on too.
And so ten thousand gods clashed with six gods. It was a massacre. The gods were positively butchered. There was no doubt about it. No one could contend with the fact.
The ranks of the gods fell apart after five thousand died. But they quickly regrouped when twenty thousand more gods came in a fifth wave of reinforcement.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The gods became hopeful once again. One of them even said, "They have to fall now, right? Just how much divine energy do they have? They have to have some kind of limit."
Legion was also looking forward to seeing where their limit lies. Unfortunately, they had run out of space in their two trains. These are trains with three carriages each. Each one could hold a thousand divine orbs, so they already have six thousand divine orbs.
They couldn't take anymore, so they finally decided to escape. The gods saw this and thought the Orc Bandits were afraid of them. The doubters among them and those who were afraid became immensely encouraged to do battle at all costs.
A god king shouted, "Get them. Don't let them escape."
Unfortunately, it wasn't really up to them to decide if the Orc Bandits could escape or not. The Orc Bandits were just too fast to be held back by food that they could eat but couldn't eat because their stomachs were full to bursting.
The clones were using Divine Speed while as followed Legion-3 and his spear. Legion-3 made way for them through any obstacle, and they followed along the path had created for them.
