Day 29 - Balance

One of the better tributes that I receive are souls. My penchant was for the souls of the pirates from the 15th century, while a barbaric lot, they have a calming technique to ensure victory. Burn the boat you are on and make sure you take the boat you are attacking, because there is no retreat. Ah, those rapscallions.
The vendetta came through and seeing the coming victory before me, there was to be no complications in attacking the blessed Eric of Ebola. I wagered 14 prestige and bet that I could kill a single legion in one turn for 30 prestige. Then the ugly consequences of Event Cards betray me.

Eric of Ebola, or the minions still upset about my Creeping Doom purchase, has played the Loyalty Check card against me. The Infernal Conclave is a suspicious lot, their investigation into any of the other beings in this realm would show the same issue as I: You cannot trust bad guys.
The irony that is missed by the others is that the Order of the Brotherhood was offered a chance to improve a function last turn when it defeated the Garden of Eden. I chose +1 to Range instead of +3 to health points, and...wait for it... +2 to Loyalty. Who needs loyalty in this realm... Ha!

Now that the legions are disposed of, I can play my event card: Wrath of God! Muhaha. In just in time, as Gormash James is now capable of burning tribute cards (the fool).
Wrath of God!
I only wish the Nox voiceover could be said at the same time it is played.

This is what a canton field looks like without that many legions on it.
