Chapter 177
The room fell silent as both Olaf and Finn looked in deep thought before Finn spoke up "So where do you and your father come to the equation?"
Yuki smiled before answering "On behalf of my father, I am here to guide and teach you how to act as followers of an ascended gods"
"What’s the catch?" Olaf asked.
Yuki raised an eyebrow before shaking her head and said "We require nothing from you" She said halfway before stopping as she could feel the trust she managed to build loosening away, sighing she spoke "Fathers, believes that your highness Björn will be a capable ally in facing the danger posed by the origin gods and their people"
Olaf and Finn looked at each other before sighing "We accept your proposal on teaching us but the agreement for being an ally all depends on his highness Björn"
Finn continued "We are also troubled by the gods and people under them, we had a plan on pushing up against the silver kingdom and their people after the war but we have no idea if they have someone capable as Einar and Helga, we lost a whole army just by them calling upon their god"
Yuki remembered the ridges "I saw that battlefield on my way here and I think it was wise of you to stay back. The silver kingdom hasn’t made a move against you shows that they aren’t capable of that yet and as we all know an animal is most dangerous when it is cornered. Who is to say they won’t do something stupid because of your advancement"
Yuki continued "I propose that you should focus on growing your people and it’s army once again, build temples for your god and worship him which in turn strengthen you all so that you can have better confidence when facing the silver kingdom"
Finn and Olaf exchanged a glance, considering Yuki’s words carefully. Finn leaned forward, his wings folding slightly behind him as he spoke. "You speak of strategy and faith as if they are intertwined, and perhaps they are. Our people have always been warriors, but we’ve neglected the spiritual side, believing strength in arms alone would suffice."
