As the priest among the believers was the first to react, he hurriedly shouted and was the first to kneel on the ground, praying with utmost devotion to the divine statue.
With the priest's lead, the rest of the believers quickly reacted as well, unanimously halting their cheering, and transforming their excitement over victory into devout prayers to the god.
The miracle earlier was the best conversion for them, and the connection within their hearts to the divine statue made them firmly more devoted to their faith, making their prayers increasingly pious.
"Praise the God of War!"
"May the God of War protect us..."
"May the God of War grant us victory in every battle..."
Perhaps due to the influence of divine power dissipating from the statue, each's personal prayers quickly coalesced into a unified chorus, with waves of sound reverberating through the settlement.
