Chapter 55 -55: Temple Prophecy (Modified)_1
In the midst of the dark night forest.
Pan God declared: “However, I can tell you the contents of the prophecy. We Sons of the Forest are different from humans, we always share all information.”
“If a Son of the Forest learns something and doesn’t share it with the others, then they are considered a traitor amongst us.”
The Sons of the Forest listened attentively, eagerly awaiting, as this concerned the key to starting the Era of the Sons of the Forest.
Every single one of them was focused.
With satisfaction, Pan God said, “The following is the prophecy from the temple—”
“If the army of the Sons of the Forest sets out when the Thousand-Year Fire is about to extinguish, we will get everything we desire. However, beware, for an important figure from the West will bring a dreadful army to take everything back that was previously taken by the Sons of the Forest.”
“This time, the Sons of the Forest will lose their chance to resist again.”
“The Sons of the Forest will be ruled by humans until the end of time.”
“Beware, if the Sons of the Forest soak the earth in human blood before the Thousand-Year Fire extinguishes and turn the Bohr River into a river of blood, then an unavoidable nightmare will come for the Sons of the Forest.”
“On that day, even time will mourn the impending tragedy.”
“The choice of the Sons of the Forest will hail a different destiny.”
After Pan God had finished speaking and there was silence all around, he added, “That is the entirety of the prophecy. It contains many vague areas, the specific indications are unclear.”
“Such is the bad habit of those prophets.”
“Hmph, isn’t it just to avoid bearing our fate?”
“Those Virgins in the temple sit at the spinning wheel every day, combing the thread of fate with golden scissors that could cut golden fleece, yet they still feel it’s not enough. If they can avoid directly warning us, they won’t.”
The Snake Woman Chieftain, Centaur Khan, Two-headed Troll High Priest, Treant Leader, and the Great Alliance Leader of the Taurens all looked horrified after hearing the prophecy.
They were struck speechless for a long time.
They originally thought that their action this time was merely to seize a critical pass, a strategic location.
But they didn’t expect that this action would involve the future of their race according to the prophecy.
Stumbling over her words, the Snake Woman Chieftain asked, “No more chance to resist, does this mean if we fail this time, the Sons of the Forest will be annihilated?”
“At least we will be ruled by humans until the end of time…”
“This…”
“This is horrifying!”
The Centaur Khan stood up from the ground, his four hooves uneasily pacing on the ground. The veins in his horse legs bulged, he was furious, unable to calm down.
“If so, we should attack Baron Moro’s castle immediately and slaughter every human there.”
“Kill, kill, kill! Exterminate them all!”
“Then, we occupy here and wouldn’t let any human enter Ambros territory from the west! Then the prophecy would never come true.”
“Oh Ancient Soul, command me, even if I have to sacrifice the last offspring of the Golden Khan Centaur, I will have no complaints.”
“I want to kill all the humans here.”
“We have the advantage in numbers!”
All of a sudden, Centaur Khan lost control of himself.
He was about to lose his mind.
The Centaur Khan had already drawn his Knight Sword, eager to go, even to the point of disregarding the existence of the Ancient Soul.
Pan God’s sinister gaze fell on the Centaur Khan. “Golden Khan is indeed an excellent Son of the Forest, even though he is a descendant of mixed blood between centaur and human.”
“He established a massive kingdom which even in the peak period of the Sons of the Forest, could not be reached.”
“During that period, we, the Ancient Souls, were nothing before the Golden Khan.”
“But he’s dead now, and was disgracefully killed by a bottle of wine.”
“And did you not hear what I said before?
The key point is that as long as the Thousand-Year Fire has not extinguished, we cannot slaughter the humans.”
“Do you understand!”
Centaur Khan felt embarrassed and bowed his head in submission, bending both his front legs to kneel to Pan God.
“Great Ancient Soul, I have no intention of questioning your authority nor would I disrespect your status.”
“The Golden Kingdom only existed for twenty years.”
“The descendants of Golden Khan have already scattered all over the world, existing among various tribes.”
The Golden Khan of those days did not discriminate against women of different races.
Every race he conquered had to offer him a bride, so the golden lineage was widespread among all races.
Unfortunately, it later faced suppression from the King of Thousands Kings and other beings.
This lineage had long since declined and did not carry any title.
The Snake Woman Chieftain asked, “Ancient Soul, does the prophecy imply that if we fail this time, our race will be wiped out?”
“Do you have any leads about the person who will march into Ambros from the west and destroy us, Ancient Soul?”
The Agricultural Ancient Soul nodded contentedly. “Based on the prophecy, if we fail, this rebellion will be our last.”
“But why should the Sons of Forest forfeit rebellion as long as they are alive?”
“And we’d be ruled by humans until the end of time. According to the prophecy, if we fail in this endeavor, we’ll all be slaughtered.”
The Agricultural Ancient Soul said, “Just like if we succeed this time, we’ll exterminate all humans.”
“Otherwise, I can’t imagine a scenario where the Sons of Forest would be ruled by humans till time’s end.”
“Prophecies from the temple are always tricky to interpret,”
“But they are usually quite accurate.”
Pan God continued, “I have some idea who that man might be.”
“Coming from the west, leading an iron army.”
“Not many meet these criteria.”
“The faction of the city class in Ambros has invited the Republic and independent city states from the south for assistance; they will enter Ambros from the south.”
“The Piercing Duke of Wallachia, where the nobility carries vampire blood, should enter Ambros from the east.”
“They are here to help the noble faction of Ambros.”
“I heard that Alsace will also send someone, a Prince named Jalen, who will lead his soldiers from the west into Ambros to support the noble faction of Ambros.”
“Additionally, the first citizen among equals and the mayor [Diodos] of the autonomous states of the Marquis-level powers, will also lead his troops from the west into Ambros.”
“The autonomous states coalition will, of course, come to help the city’s merchants.”
“So, our target according to the prophecy should be one of the last two men. We have to kill them.”
The Sons of Forest now had a target, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
They will not let the prophecy come true!
Pan God suddenly remembered something. “Right, what happened to those knights I saw chasing the Treant troops, just before I went to sleep?”
“How are they?”

The Centaur Khan said, “We’ve killed them all.”
Pan God’s expression changed drastically. “Idiots. If you had let those knights return to the castle, they would quarrel over leadership rights with Ivita.”
“While killing them does indeed weaken the human forces, it also solidifies the unity among the remaining ones!”
The Centaur Khan opened his mouth but finally just hung his head in shame.
Pan God shook his head. “Never mind, we’ll officially start besieging the city from tonight.”
“We are going to burn down all human buildings, all farmland, so that they have to come out of the city and fight!”
“Our army has an absolute advantage, capturing the castle is just a matter of how much price we are willing to pay.”
…
Inside the castle, Ivita was drafting a letter to the Grand Viscount, asking for endorsement and assistance.
The Old Witch was constantly pacing behind him, and after a while, Ivita, feeling annoyed, asked her what she wanted.
The Old Witch gritted her teeth, faltering. “Your Excellency, well… that is… do you think… could the Grand Viscount be dead?”
“…” Ivita.
He turned towards the Old Witch, raising an eyebrow. “Your apprentice killed him?”
“Is this the grand act your apprentice committed?”
“Your apprentice is a terrorist then.”
The Old Witch shook her head, “It has a bit to do with her, but she’s definitely been framed.”
