There was only one statue in the temple. It had a crooked bull horn, a lion face, and a body that was even more muscular than humans. It had sharp claws and 2 toed hooves. This was the statue of the orc god.
Abel noticed there was nothing else in the temple other than this giant statue. It seemed like only the orc god statue had the right to exist in this temple.
By that point, the other orcs had already kneeled down in front of the statue. Abel cursed in his heart, but he had no choice but to do the same.
When he sensed the orcs on the side had raised their bodies, he also did the same. Suddenly, a beam of green light shot out from the statue and covered the 10 orcs and Abel.
He felt a sense of probing, but it did not linger on him for too long. Soon, it left his body.
However, a Tauren beside him was blasted out of the green light by a powerful force. Afterward, 2 more Bearmen and Tigermen were also blasted out of the green light.
Soon, the green light was taken back by the statue as if nothing had happened. If it wasn't for the 3 orcs that were sent flying, Abel would've thought that the green light was just a normal scan.
He then gazed at the 3 orcs on the ground who were struggling to get up. He was sure those 3 orcs were wolf rider captains, but from what he could tell, they were only beginner wolf rider captains. Maybe that was why they were ejected by the green light.
"You guys really don't know your place. Do you really think you can join the orc god ceremony without some top-level fighters?" The black cloak priest sneered as he looked at those 3 orcs on the ground.
The three orcs finally stood up. The attack just now didn't do much damage to their bodies, but it affected their souls. This meant that the three orcs wouldn't be able to cultivate for the next few years. They could only slowly recuperate.
"Get the hell out of the temple!" The black cloak priest yelled at those 3 orcs.
Those 3 orcs did not say anything. They just helped each other out of the temple. No orcs would help them. In the Orc Empire, no orcs would pity the losers.
"Congratulations, you guys have passed the preliminary test and received the initial recognition of the orc god. You can now join the orc god ceremony!" The black cloak priest turned to the rest of the orcs and gave a special nod to Abel. It seemed like he was very satisfied with the results.
He walked out of the temple and headed straight to the right side of the square to look for the other worgens. Since the black-cloaked priest had already said so, it would be suspicious if he didn't go and look for them. Since he had already passed the orc god's test, there shouldn't be any problems.
At first, he was a little worried about the scan. The transformation necklace was a legendary object made by the goddess of the moon. Although it could hide its identity, it was still a scan from the orc god.
If he was discovered, he would immediately return to battle fort 03 and search for an opportunity in the sky. As long as he could find the true location of the orc god ceremony, he would be able to search for it himself.
Of course, this was a bad idea. There were too many uncertainties. If a teleportation circle appeared during the orc god ceremony, he would not be able to track it down.
Luckily, he had passed the preliminary test. Now, he just needed to find an orc who knew the details. Of course, it would be best to talk to worgens of the same race.
"Which family are you from?" A wolf rider captain asked as soon as he arrived at the right side of the square.
"My name is Beecher. My family is not famous!" Abel replied calmly.
"How is that possible? It's okay if you don't want to say. None of the orcs here are from a normal family!" That wolf rider captain lowered his voice.
At that moment, Abel realized this wolf rider captain in front of him was not wearing something a normal wolf rider captain could wear. It was a full set of leather armor with beautiful patterns on it. The same went for his battle boots. They were all very luxurious.
Not only this wolf rider captain in front of him, but most of the orcs nearby also had luxurious equipment. One look and you could tell they were not normal orcs.
"My name is Bloom. My family has put in a lot of effort for this opportunity. If not, I would be training in the wolf rider legion right now!" Wolf rider captain Bloom said with a soft chuckle as if he was very familiar with him.
"Of course, this opportunity is hard to come by. Because of the important training, all the head wolf rider captains are not allowed to participate in this orc god ceremony. That's why we wolf rider captains have such a rare opportunity!" Wolf rider captain Bloom said with a smile.
However, Abel couldn't help but feel that the smile on that wolf's face was very strange.
"Normal wolf rider captains can't participate in this orc ceremony right?" Abel remembered wolf rider captain Beecher was stopped before he could even leave the wolf garden, so he asked.
"If a wolf rider captain with no background dares to leave the wolf rider legion, they will be hunted down. I heard this training is a joint training of a few major races. The management is very serious about it. If anyone dares to leave without permission, they will die!" Wolf rider captain Bloom said in disdain.
Abel finally understood why there were so many wolf rider captain level orcs here, and why they were all so well equipped.
These were all noble orcs. Wolf rider captain Bloom might not know this, but the training he was talking about was not a training but a big battle. Therefore, all the noble orcs had sent their most important disciples to participate in the orc god ceremony.
The benefits were self-explanatory. First of all, these noble orcs could get some benefits from participating in this orc god ceremony without a top-level fighting force.
Secondly, they would be able to avoid this war and leave behind some hope for their family. All the beastman nobles knew that this war would be a terrible and horrifying war.
"I rushed here as soon as I received the notice, so I don't know what's going to happen next. Can you tell me?" Abel took out a bottle of orc fruit wine from his portal bracelet and handed it to wolf rider captain Bloom. This wine was also a spoil of war from the orc battlefield.
"Beecher, your position in the family is not bad. I didn't expect you to have something like this. But be careful next time, don't let other orcs see it!" Wolf rider captain Bloom said as he put away the fruit wine and looked around.
Abel could tell he had underestimated the effect of the orc fruit wine. Most of his spoils of war were from the bone made portal objects of the orc deities. With the treatment of the orc deities in the Orc Empire, these normal consumables in the human world were extremely rare in the Orc Empire.
Making wine required a large amount of food. Although fruit wine was only made from some fruits, fruits were still a type of food. In the food scarce Orc Empire, any food was extremely precious.
Therefore, wine was a luxury item to the orcs. Only those with a high status could have it. Even wolf rider captain Bloom, a noble, rarely had the chance to enjoy fruit wine.
Wolf rider captain Bloom continued, "There will be a few rounds of battles. Right now, there are about 100 people, and the top 30 will be chosen. Oh right, how is your fighting ability?" Wolf rider captain Bloom continued. He was interested in Abel's fighting ability.
"I'm currently at the bottleneck of becoming a wolf rider captain. I want to use this orc god ceremony as an opportunity to see if I can make a breakthrough!" Of course, he needed to tell wolf rider captain Bloom more about his power. That way, wolf rider captain Bloom would pay attention to him, so he said this.
"Great, since you are so confident, we will have another powerful fighting ability. Let's help each other during the ceremony!" Wolf rider captain Bloom said in joy.
"You are that confident?" Abel couldn't help but ask. He was curious about wolf rider captain Bloom's confidence.
