Chapter 34: The Three Great Temples - The Warrior Temple

Instantly, all the tribespeople began to listen, and some showed sorrow on their faces.

For yesterday, many of their families had lost loved ones.

"This war was not meant to happen, but because of the Luochuan Tribe, they wanted to crush us, Silvermane, and then annex us. For their ambitions, they incited the chiefs of the four tribes to form an alliance to attack us."

"Causing a large number of unnecessary casualties."

"Many tribespeople lost their relatives, and so did I. I also lost a childhood playmate." Corvinus's tone suddenly became somber.

The Luochuan Tribe?

Many werewolves who had lost their relatives uttered the name of the Luochuan Tribe with hatred.

Thadon smiled faintly.

Although the coalition was indeed orchestrated by the Luochuan Tribe, judging from the way Silvermane Tribe had coerced the Liewa Tribe and swiftly annexed the four tribes, it seemed Silvermane had long harbored covetous intentions towards these smaller tribes.

Corvinus had conveniently placed all the blame on the Luochuan Tribe.

The chieftain was indeed a chieftain, always one step ahead.

As for the higher-ups in Silvermane Tribe, they were indifferent. Although Corvinus's words were filled with deceit, this was the nature of a leader.

As long as it was for the tribe, turning heaven into earth was not considered wrong.

"Perhaps you all do not know what these nine bonfires are for," Corvinus asked lightly.

All the werewolves' gazes shifted from Corvinus to the nine towering bonfires, each reaching six or seven meters in height.

They had been puzzled from the start, wondering what their purpose was.

"These nine bonfires contain the bodies of one hundred and twenty warriors."

Bodies?

Many uninformed werewolves were taken aback.

Even Lothar and the others paid close attention, as they could not believe that bringing back the bodies of the warriors was just to burn them.

"These one hundred and twenty bodies include sixty-seven Silvermane warriors who died in battle, and the other fifty-three are Liewa warriors who also fell. Although they were not of Silvermane, they died for Silvermane, so I had them brought back."

"I have always believed that a person's final resting place is home."

"These warriors left as living beings, and now they have fallen in battle, but they did so for the tribe."

"They died outside and cannot return home on their own, so as their chieftain, I will bring them home!" Corvinus scanned the crowd of werewolves and declared in a thunderous voice.

"Even in death, they must be brought home, buried in the land they defended, and continue to guard this land with their spirits."

"This is my promise to the warriors loyal to me and to the tribe."

Even in death, bring them home?

Bury them in the land they defended?

All the werewolves were deeply moved, especially the wolf soldiers maintaining order around and the wolf warriors hidden among the crowd who were not on duty. They were particularly touched.

They looked towards their chieftain!

Would they also be able to return home even if they died?

If so, with such a chieftain and such a tribe, how could they have any regrets in their pledge of loyalty?

In the dark night, the mindset of some werewolves and wolf soldiers in Silvermane Tribe was subtly changing.

They became more loyal and recognized and respected the young chieftain of Silvermane Tribe even more.

The final resting place of a person is home?

Thadon looked at Corvinus, who was like a priest inciting the tribespeople. Although this was just a means for the chieftain to rule his people, this young chieftain, younger than him, spoke with unparalleled infectiousness.

Unconsciously, all the werewolves, especially the warriors, were easily influenced by the atmosphere and emotions he created.

The final resting place of a person is home?

This is absolutely divine words!

Corvinus's voice sounded again, and the noisy battlefield quickly fell silent, with all eyes gathering on Corvinus again.

There were also more devout gazes. Hundreds of wolf soldiers maintaining order turned their bodies, showing loyalty, aligning with the figure of Corvinus, as if guarding their king.

"I once heard an ancient legend about the gods. As long as the bodies of the tribe's fallen warriors are burned with fire, they will continue to guard their tribe and land after death."

"Although it is a legend, it is also my hope, and I think you all hope for it too. Therefore, I had nine bonfires arranged for these warriors to continue to protect this land, tribe, and their loved ones."

"Furthermore, to remember these warriors who sacrificed themselves for the rise of the tribe, I will build a temple called the Warrior Temple. From now on, whoever dies for the tribe in battle, their name will surely be in the temple."

"The Warrior Temple will be worshipped by all the tribespeople!"

The werewolves were inspired.

The Warrior Temple will be worshipped by the entire tribe.

Some werewolf families who lost their relatives shed excited tears. Although their loved ones died in battle, entering the Warrior Temple would mean being worshipped by all the werewolves of the tribe.

What an unparalleled honor.

"Light the fire!"

"Yes!"

Nine wolf soldiers respectfully saluted, their eyes filled with devotion and loyalty to Corvinus.

Soon!

The nine bonfires ignited into towering flames, as if doused with resin, burning at an extremely fast rate.

However, even so, it took about two hours for the nine bonfires to burn completely into a pile of charcoal.

Corvinus and all the werewolves did not leave until there was no more open flame, ending this bonfire gathering.

By the end, it was already late at night.

But for all the werewolves of Silvermane Tribe, this would be the most peaceful and comfortable night's sleep.

...

Time quietly passed, and three days had gone by.

The news of the four tribes' destruction and the Luochuan Tribe suffering a great loss at the hands of Silvermane Tribe quickly spread across the wasteland, causing small tribes within a hundred miles of Silvermane Tribe to become nervous.

Faced with this situation, Corvinus naturally understood that Silvermane Tribe could not be seen as an aggressor at the moment.

So soon, the news about Luochuan Tribe wanting to annex other tribes to strengthen itself also spread.

At the same time, Silvermane Tribe almost fell victim to Luochuan Tribe, and the losses were very heavy this time.

In short, the more miserable Silvermane Tribe was portrayed, the better, and the more malicious and ambitious Luochuan Tribe was described.

The propaganda war continued.

However, Silvermane Tribe remained very calm. With the addition of more than 1,700 werewolves from the four tribes, a large labor force was brought in, and the number of people in the animal pens increased slightly.

Because the remaining labor force had to build houses, after all, the new tribespeople did not yet have their own houses.

But although the labor force seemed to be tight again, many people were still allocated by his second uncle to start the construction of the Warrior Temple.

In fact, Corvinus originally wanted to take this opportunity to build the Profession Temple first, but he finally gave up. The emergence of the Profession Temple would mean an increase in the number of professionals in the tribe.

However, as the saying goes, a common man is guiltless, but he who harbors a treasure is guilty.

With Silvermane Tribe's current strength, they dare not let such a building appear.

So Corvinus continued to build the Warrior Temple, and it is worth mentioning that the temple drawings were provided by him, perfectly drawing on the advantages of several famous temples from the last world.
