Village Head's Debauchery-Novel

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 explaining what an apostle was and how they would be helpful in the Village'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 Village 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 felt compelled 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 Village Chief nodded his head and shifted his attention back to Orion. From Orion's previous explanation, 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 Village 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 accept Naka's salvation upon their lives, and in return, disregarding Naka's will?" Orion said, looking at the Village Chief and the rest, observing as they all seemed stunned by his words.

The Village Chief immediately became thoughtful. 

He then focused his attention on Orion, "Hmmm, I can see your point; however, even if the Village wants to help them, I don't think that it's something that we are capable of doing currently," the Village Chief said as a sigh escaped his lips, "With Stronghold Leader Drakar gone, the Village does not have enough manpower to protect such a large quantity of people outside the Village. 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 Village," he added, shaking his head tiredly.

The rest of the key figures sighed silently, agreeing with the Village Chief's words.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Fire(.)net

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 Village or force themselves to retreat and sacrifice more lands so that they could securely protect the rest of the land 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 Village, so I will never ask for the Village to mobilize its warriors to protect another race when we are barely managing to protect ourselves. All I am asking for is the Village's help in preparing the materials and the settlement that they can use to properly develop themselves when they come 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 Village Chief said, his eyes narrowed straight at Orion. 

He understood that for Orion to ask for the Village'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 a large gathering of people surviving in the midst of the Vylkr vines without worries about being attacked or had already come 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 Village. This was something not a single soul in the Village 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 Village. 

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 Village for treatment.

Also, along with his recent feats of slaying a god and being blessed and given a weapon by a goddess sent down by Naka to be with the Prismerion race—beings comparable 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 Village Chief was sure Orion could achieve so much more. So, regardless of how nonsensical it might seem, the Village Chief understood that he couldn't afford to doubt Orion's confidence.
