Chapter 602 Deciding The Prismerion Race''s Destiny (2)
"Also, she has blessed some of the Prismerion warriors, making them her direct apostles," Orion added before exining what an apostle was and how they would be helpful in the Vige''s development, especially now that they had a goddess by their side.
Even if they hadn''t figured out how to settle the Prismerion race outside the mountain, Orion believed that convincing the Vige to aid willingly would be much easier.
Aerialia, who was behind Orion, silently snorted at his subtle words of praise. Nevertheless, her gaze remained on the people before her to see how they would react. After all, even if she didn''t allow it, her apostles were still a part of the Prismerion race, and it was her job to ensure their safety.
Meanwhile, everyone nodded in understanding as they finished listening to Orion''s words.
Seeing that Orion had finished speaking, Seth feltpelled to share his perspective on the matter.
"I have seen them use their divine blessings to make themselves stronger. Although they aren''t as strong as our warriors, they are still too useful to be overlooked," Seth said, staring at his father.
The Vige Chief nodded his head and shifted his attention back to Orion. From Orion''s previous exnation, he was smart enough to understand what Orion''s words meant.
However, he couldn''t help but ask, "Since they now have the protection of a goddess, doesn''t that mean that they have once again forsaken Naka?" with a raised eyebrow.
Everyone in the room nodded in agreement except for Seth and Caretaker Shani.
"Yes, I think the Vige Chief does have a point. Since the Prismerion race found refuge in another god just when they had gotten their freedom, shouldn''t it be an insult not only to Naka but also to us, who worship him?" Caretaker Ivor said, staring at Orion seriously with a furrowed brow.
"I don''t see it that way, Chief. Because just like them, I was also given the protection of Aerialia, the goddess of the hunting moon. Since the Prismerion race has gotten their salvation, I think she is someone Naka had sent to us in his stead to take care of them."
"So if we refuse to help them, wouldn''t that mean that we have also refused to ept Naka''s salvation upon their lives, and in return, disregarding Naka''s will?" Orion said, looking at the Vige Chief and the rest, observing as they all seemed stunned by his words.
The Vige Chief immediately became thoughtful.
He then focused his attention on Orion, "Hmmm, I can see your point; however, even if the Vige wants to help them, I don''t think that it''s something that we are capable of doing currently," the Vige Chief said as a sigh escaped his lips, "With Stronghold Leader Drakar gone, the Vige does not have enough manpower to protect such arge quantity of people outside the Vige. Even sending you and the other warriors to the mountains to protect and bring Saria was something that we all had to carefully decide, as it concerned the safety of the Vige," he added, shaking his head tiredly.
The rest of the key figures sighed silently, agreeing with the Vige Chief''s words.
If they had enough warriors to protect people of that quantity, then they wouldn''t have to use newborns to distract the attention of the Vylkr vines away from the Vige or force themselves to retreat and sacrifice morends so that they could securely protect the rest of thend that they had left, and ease off the burdens from the shoulders of their warriors.
Their situation was already bad enough that they didn''t need any other burden weighing down on them, especially when it came from another race.
Orion nodded in response, "I understand your concerns, Chief, and also properly understand the current situation of the Vige, so I will never ask for the Vige to mobilize its warriors to protect another race when we are barely managing to protect ourselves. All I am asking for is the Vige''s help in preparing the materials and the settlement that they can use to properly develop themselves when theye outside the mountain," Orion responded.
"As you''re trying to say that you already have a way to protect the Prismerion race from harm''s way when they return to the outside from the mountains?" The Vige Chief said, his eyes narrowed straight at Orion.
He understood that for Orion to ask for the Vige''s support in taking care of the Prismerion race settlements only, with such a decisive expression, probably meant that he was confident about fixing the problem of arge gathering of people surviving in the midst of the Vylkr vines without worries about being attacked or had alreadye up with a solution.
Of course, someone his age, who had seen how difficult it was to survive the relentless attacks of the Vylkr vines, even with the protection of their strongest warriors, would have disregarded those thoughts without a second thought. However, he didn''t, because the person in question was Orion—a young man whose extraordinary star potential was the highest ever awakened in their Vige. This was something not a single soul in the Vige knew about until that day.
His semen also possessed extraordinary capabilities, capable of impregnating a woman who had passed her fertility age. Orion had also devised ingenious inventions that helped the warriors more effectively protect the Vige.
These innovations aided them in traversing great distances within a few hours, contributing abundantly to their explorations and reducing the deaths of warriors.
Additionally, the inventions allowed the injured to be taken to the sky and immediately brought back to the Vige for treatment.
Also, along with his recent feats of ying a god and being blessed and given a weapon by a goddess sent down by Naka to be with the Prismerion race—beingsparable to divine beings like Naka. All this had been achieved by a young man who had just finished his graduation ceremony two and a half months ago.
With more time, the Vige Chief was sure Orion could achieve so much more. So, regardless of how nonsensical it might seem, the Vige Chief understood that he couldn''t afford to doubt Orion''s confidence.
