There was no roller coaster in this world, or Horan's mood would have been fluctuating as if he was riding a roller coaster.
Still, he was aware that there were some champions in the church his youngest son worshipped during the demonization of Pompey, and that they could save him and turn things back to the right track even in such a hopeless situation.
But to be honest, he was speechless when he saw the reinforcements Angora had called for.
After all, those so-called reinforcements were no different from vagabonds who were lucky enough to run into a battlefield that hadn't been cleared, and there was nothing elite about them at all.
In the end, it was those vagabonds who first slayed the zombie dragon and then the zombies, the entire process completed in one go. The border guards who survived Sotimi were all putting in good words for those people, while ignoring the two giants of the Brilliant White Church and the Temple of Glory.
In fact, Horan more or less understood why they would act that way. It was none other than because the Brilliant White Church and the Temple of Glory didn't send their sacred corps to save them despite the dire situation, and viewed them as nothing more than grass that they wouldn't feel bad about abandoning.
If Horan was in their shoes, he would naturally feel from the bottom of his heart that it was meaningless to believe in the gods they preached, and that all his piety in the past was for nothing.
Horan certainly wouldn't punish those loyal soldiers who never flinched even when they were cornered by the undead over such a trivial matter.
After all, he would definitely disappoint his own subjects if he dared to do so, and who would pledge their loyalty to him when the royal army came pressing down on his borders in the future?
Still, he was hesitant about how he should reward the reinforcements Angora had called for.
If he rewarded them too well, the other churches would definitely start a fight over some treaty they didn't like. Not only would it affect Tunaya's stability, but it would also severely affect his prestige as a noble or even the Uncrowned King of the North.
On the other hand, if he rewarded them too poorly, not only would the believers of the God of Games feel that they were being belittled, his subjects and subjects would also be dissatisfied. After all, they had fought the zombie dragon and the undead with their lives, and it would be too much to just give them some random medal to fool them. If he were to encounter such a thing again in the future, no one would risk their lives to help him.
Moreover, Horan vaguely realized that the reason the believers of the God of Games would fight to this extent and disregard casualties to defeat those terrible foes was to claim the position of the main church in Tunaya, and make Tunaya their first real stronghold!
Be that as it may, the Church of Games was tainted by Tierra's dark history. If they really did that, the Silver Eagle Duchy would become a thorn in the side of the nations and duchies around it.
When the time comes, the emperor of the Valla Empire, who already disliked him in the first place, just had to move a finger and the Silver Eagle Duchy attracted a bit of hatred, and his fate would not be any better than Tierra's!
But just as Horne was feeling conflicted over that, he suddenly realized that the believers of the God of Games did not ask for anything at all. After dealing with the zombie dragon and Sotimi's army of undead, they simply left through the Lifestone in satisfaction …
Perplexed no matter how much he thought about it, the duke eventually couldn't hold back his curiosity and sought out his son, Angora, who had yet to leave Tunaya to ask for the reason.
"Hmmm … while they did intend to announce to the world that the Church of Games has returned by coming to help, it's not the time to snatch faith from other gods just yet."
Angora naturally knew what was going on with the Players.
For the Players who participated in the event, their rewards were those from the individual prize pool and the World Prize Pool, and they never expected the so-called duke to give them anything else in the first place.
It would be more accurate to say that ordinary rewards were meaningless to these players.
And for Xi Wei, the act of officially returning the God of Games to the ranks of the gods was a complete success.
Now that the entire divine realm was in chaos, the superior gods had no time to pay attention to a newbie like him. As for the intermediate gods, with the Great Lion and the others backing him, they wouldn't provoke him easily. As for the noob gods, Xi Wei was more than happy to see them come looking for trouble …
Incidentally, he lacked divine power and divine energy at the moment, and it would be best if a god he could defeat came knocking on his door!
Even if he ran into someone he couldn't beat, he could rely on his special transmigration ability to escape across worlds. There weren't many gods in this world who could catch him unprepared.
Moreover, Tunaya already had the Lifestone (and it was in the duke's castle), and all it lacked was a church or a temple. The Players' achievement of saving Tunaya would not be forgotten, and with that as an excuse, all they had to do now was find a chance to build a church.
One could say that the Church of Games had reaped a bountiful harvest this time.
The Players' act of leaving Tunaya without a trace also reduced the chances of being surrounded by other churches, increasing their mysteriousness in the eyes of others and helping to protect the secrets of their church.
Even so, no matter how reluctant the archbishop of the Brilliant White Church was, he couldn't deny that the Church of Games had now become a hot commodity in Tunaya, like the sun at high noon.
Be that as it may, the Players who left with the glory of saving the city would never have imagined that most of the Tunaya citizens who wanted to join the Church of Games would have thoughts such as' if those homeless people in rags who didn't even have a complete set of clothes could accomplish such a grand feat, wouldn't I be stronger if I joined, and would be able to handle such enemies with ease '…
Angora couldn't help smiling at the thought. "Moreover, they have more important things to do now."
"More important things?" Horan frowned, the deep wrinkles on his forehead making him appear even older. "What could be more important than accepting a duke's reward?"
"There are many for them. For example, holding a celebration feast, or … "Angora answered without hesitation after glancing at the System notification." Exploring and adventuring in a new continent. "
