After wolf rider captain Bloom's introduction, Abel and the other wolf rider captains began to get to know each other. They all thought Abel was also a noble wolf rider captain, so they accepted him very easily.
Of course, Abel's full body leather armor, the snow eagle on his shoulder, and his generosity had a lot to do with it as well.
By that point, Abel was very glad that he didn't use those crappy gears of wolf rider captain Beecher. Otherwise, he would have been stopped by that black cloak priest as soon as he arrived.
Now that he thought about it, the reason why that black cloak priest was so polite to him was not because he was from the same race but because he thought Abel was a noble wolf rider captain.
Abel also realized why all the orcs had come here early. The orc god ceremony was indeed in the middle of October, but they had to go through a selection process before that. Therefore, they had to come early to participate in the selection process.
Since wolf rider captain Beecher had spent 2 sheep to get this information, Abel wanted to smash his head against the wall. If he wasn't so lucky, his plan would've failed completely.
After two more days, there were no more orcs coming. At this time, there were about 150 orcs in the square. Among them, about 100 were obviously orc nobles. This was almost like an orc god ceremony for the orc nobles.
"All the orcs participating in the selection, follow me!" The black cloak priest from that day once again appeared on the square and yelled. Afterward, he turned and walked towards the left side of the main palace.
The 150 orcs quickly picked up their equipment and followed the black-robed priest. Under the guidance of the black-robed priest, they walked from the left side of the main hall to the back of the main hall. Soon, they saw a mud training ground.
Normally, battles wouldn't be fought on stone floors. Firstly, it would reduce unnecessary damage to the body. Secondly, it would have less impact on the environment and wouldn't be damaged by violent attacks.
By that point, a priest in a white cloak was standing on the training ground. There were 8 skeletons beside him. Their bones were thicker than any skeletons Abel had ever seen.
Abel could feel the power of the soul fire in those skeletons. It made him feel like he was facing a head Knight captain. It was even more oppressive than a head Knight captain.
The 150 orcs who came were still whispering to each other, but when they saw the white-robed priests, all of them lowered their heads. Even their mounts felt the pressure and lowered their heads obediently.
"Elite priest!" Abel thought to himself. Needless to say, just by looking at those 8 skeletons, he could tell this was an elite priest that was far more powerful than an intermediate priest.
He couldn't sense any death qi from the elite priest. It was like this elite priest was just a corpse. However, his intuition told him that this elite priest in front of him was extremely dangerous.
"I am elite priest Donot. Most of the priests in the orc temple are busy, so I'll be in charge of this selection!" Elite priest Dono's voice was very hoarse. It was like sandpaper being rubbed against each other, but his tone was very friendly.
Abel thought it might be because most of the orcs here were nobles. Elite priests didn't care about these things, but they still needed to show some respect.
Wolf rider captain Bloom said the priest in charge of this selection was a worgen, but no matter how he looked, this short elite priest in front of him didn't look like a worgen priest.
He turned to wolf rider captain Bloom, and what he saw was a shocked expression on wolf rider captain Bloom's face.
It seemed like wolf rider captain Bloom didn't know elite priest Donot was in charge of this selection. Maybe something had happened.
Since a small team of humans had entered the depths of the Orc Empire, most of the priests in the orc temple had been sent out. Some of them were sent to strengthen the defense of the checkpoints, and some were sent to search for humans that had entered the Orc Empire.
Originally, these missions were not the responsibility of the orc temple, but since most of their fighting power had been sent to the wolf garden, the internal defense of the Orc Empire had become very weak. Therefore, the orc temple had to be sent to other places.
Of course, the orc temple was not weak either. The same went for the entire Orc Empire. The most important target was not something a small team of humans could get close to.
The most powerful force in the Orc Empire, the elite priests, had not been summoned. They were still in their own positions. Only the intermediate priests were sent out.
The Orc Empire wanted to attack the Miracle Wall, but the most important thing was that they couldn't send elite priests into the battle. Once elite priests joined the battle, it would no longer be a battle for the Miracle Wall. It would be the final race war.
Of course, there were some things that Abel didn't know. The Miracle Wall and the orc battlefield were not that simple. There were some rules that humans and orcs could not break.
"Greetings, Master Donot!" The 150 orcs lowered their heads and said respectfully.
"Ok, split into 8 battlefields. We will have 8 battles at once. Enli, you decide the order of the battles!" Elite priest Donot said with his hoarse voice.
Beginner priest Enli was the black-cloaked priest that led the 150 orcs here. He was also a worgen priest.
Abel could already see the joy on the faces of wolf rider captain Bloom and the other noble wolf rider captains. Since beginner priest Enli was the one to decide the order, it was a very good thing for the noble wolf riders.
Soon, beginner priest Enli began to announce the names of the battles and their battlefields.
In the first battle, wolf rider captain Bloom was fighting against a bearman.
This bearman was holding a shield in one hand and a battle axe in the other. His mount was a grey bear. This was a typical defensive force. Abel could tell this bearman was very young. A fully grown bearman would have the power of a Head Knight captain.
Also, this bearman was not a noble. Abel could tell from the battle axe and shield he was using, as well as the clothes he was wearing.
The bearman's battle axe was just a normal battle axe and shield. There was no sign of a noble family on it, which meant this bearman was just a normal person. He didn't even have any leather armor on him. All he was wearing was a beast skin shirt.
Although both leather armor and beast skin shirt were made of leather, there was a fundamental difference. Leather armor was made of the best defensive beast skin, and there were thicker pads on the key parts of the armor. Some of these pads were made of iron, some were made of bone, and some were made of multiple layers of beast skin.
On the other hand, beast skin shirts could only protect the body from the cold. They basically had no defense at all. As a defensive force like the bearman, if he didn't even have any leather armor on him, it meant his status was very low.
Therefore, when Abel heard beginner priest Enli had arranged wolf rider captain Bloom to fight with this bearman, he couldn't believe there was nothing wrong with it.
Of course, Abel remembered what wolf rider captain Bloom had said before. Afterward, he encountered a young defensive bearman who didn't even have a full set of armor.
Defensive bearmen had a fatal weakness, which was speed. Wolf riders were speed-type warriors, so wolf riders had a natural advantage in a battle between the two.
When the 8 battles began, Abel finally realized how scary an elite priest was. There was a skeleton on the side for each of the 8 battles.
The battle between wolf rider captain Bloom and the bearman didn't last long. Their natural advantage in speed, equipment, and power were not on the same level. The battle was one-sided as soon as it began.
Wolf rider captain Bloom quickly struck out with his long spear, and his mount wolf kept circling around the bearman. Although the bearman was trying his best to defend, his grey bear could not keep up with the speed of his mount wolf.
The bearman seemed to be a little anxious. The spear tips that kept appearing around him made his defense very tight. The grey bear also began to feel dizzy because of the constant circling.
Just when the grey bear couldn't resist the dizziness, the bearman exposed a gap in his defense due to his lack of experience. Wolf rider captain Bloom immediately seized this opportunity and struck out with his long spear, penetrating the bearman's defense.
