Nocas had no idea that he would be treated like this, but he still had illusions that even if he was beaten, it was only as part of the ritual.

He took a half-step back from the beating, then rubbed the half of his face, which was already high, and then walked over again with the most reverent look possible.

However, the ox's tail raised again once again knocked him back to his previous awkward position.

It's just that this time it's different from last time, the oxtail hit the left half of Nocas's face, and this time it hit his right side.

Under the two slaps of the oxtail, his good and decent-looking face was beaten into a pig's head.

But this time it also woke him up completely.

He groaned in his heart: this was not what they had said at the beginning.

Well, before this ceremony, he tried his best to use the power and special position in his hands to inquire about the results of this "ceremony" from several sacrifices.

This is not surprising, as a great nobleman, he knows a little bit about what the sacrifice does, but the face of everyone's cooperation is still there, and it is not easy to pierce it.

The priests were impatient, so they simply told him.

In this memorial ceremony, the Weegand will usher in a king who will lead the Wiegand to a new life.

Nocas did not hesitate to regard himself as the best choice for this "king".

It's no wonder that although he is a puppet, he is also the nominal leader of the alliance, and those old men are too old, so it is obviously not appropriate to invite them to come out and preside over state affairs, especially at the juncture when the war is about to come.

But apparently, no one would have thought that the pig's head would be a king.

It was not him who was obviously favored by the priest.

At this moment, the old priest of Akame was already sitting in the center of the disc stone.

He loudly declared:

"Our ancestors of the gods had already chosen a king for me, but this noble king had to leave the North Sea Alliance because of the resistance of some people. Now, I have fully understood that our defeat on the battlefield is all because of this man - Nocas!"

"He did not hesitate to expel the Chosen One in order to preserve his power, which made us lose the favor of the gods, and even our power was weakened. ”

Several young priests armed with wooden forks immediately stepped forward.

In full view, they kicked the dazed Nocas to the ground and subdued him to the ground with the fork used by the dog.

This was originally an essential part of all rituals, and that was the sacrifice of a dog or crocodile to the gods.

And in this ceremony, Nocas seems to have taken the place of the dog.

The old priest immediately jumped off the disc, and his agile figure was like that of a young man, without any weakness of talent.

The priest standing next to him immediately handed over a knife.

The old priest squinted his eyes, and according to the skill of killing dogs for many years, he immediately concocted this "famous queen" of the Wiegand people.

A human head rolled to the ground, and the blood of the dead was spilled all over the ground, but the eyes were not completely closed.

At the last moment of his life, he never expected that he would die today.

Originally, with his background, even if he lost to the army of the Great Pruth, he would have the right to survive.

Anyway, he shouldn't have fallen here like a dog.

What's more, whether it is the real decision-maker or the person who drove away the "king", all of this seems to have nothing to do with him.

It was his father and a few veteran Wiegand elders who made the decision, but it was the chiefs of the small tribe who stood in the audience who ultimately rejected Edward's leadership.

Enocas's intelligence, until he completely turned into a puddle of rotten meat, I am afraid he could not figure out what it had to do.

Even the chiefs of the surrounding small tribes naturally observed this scene, but apart from their surprised expressions, none of them dared to take a single step after all.

After all, in their eyes, whether these "famous families" or those sacrifices are that kind of high-mindedness, how can they participate in the affairs between them?

Besides, they played a big role in driving Edward away, and these sacrificial Nocas dared to kill them, not to mention them?

Thinking of this, the faces of many small tribe chiefs began to turn pale, and even the two glass beads in their eyes lost their lustre.

There were also some of the smarter chiefs whose faces gradually returned to normal.

However, they also did not act rashly, just like the above, anyway, it was a struggle between the "famous families" and the sacrifices, what did they have to do with themselves?

Even the guards on duty were panicked for a moment, he didn't know whether he should be loyal to his master first, or listen to the wizards he wanted to respect.

Wizards are a mysterious and terrifying presence to civilians, especially when a group of them gather to be nervous, and their behavior cannot be said to be unscrupulous.

Several chiefs from "famous families" on the side pointed to the sacrificial nose and shouted a few words:

"How dare you kill Nocas, he's the leader of our tribal alliance!"

At this moment, the old priest who had made the idol of the god could not talk to mortals casually, and he was still excitedly picking up the blood of Nocas, and putting it into a wooden plate, so that he could wait for the gods to taste whether his blood was sweet or bitter, red or black......

But that doesn't mean the sacrificers have to be dumb at this point.

"Could you please explain to us what the duties of the Chiefs and the Federation are?"

One of the priests asked.

The "famous family" was about to blurt out, nothing more than to ensure the safety of the members of the Federation and to maintain order among the Wiegand tribes as an arbiter.

But when the words came to his lips, he had to swallow them back.

Speaking of maintaining the safety of the members of the Federation, in the face of the current invasion of the Prussian people, the enemy is advancing along the road on the surface, but their alliance leader is only making passive resistance, and the headquarters has not sent a single soldier, in the name of preserving strength for a decisive battle.

In fact, they secretly colluded with famous families to prepare for the "glorious surrender".

And when it comes to the arbitration relationship.

If Nocas is also a qualified arbiter, then any dog in the tribe can preside over the order of the alliance.

He was just a puppet pushed up by famous families, so in his "ruling career" for several years, he only adhered to two principles of struggle.

First, the struggle between the famous and non-famous tribes must be completely oriented towards the "famous tribes".

Second, if there is a tribal conflict that has nothing to do with a famous family, we will not take the measure of non-intervention.

In addition to this, even the inhabitants of his own headquarters have not lived a good life for a few days, and the elders of the "famous side branches" of several tribes are not engaged in production, but they enjoy most of the wealth with peace of mind, and even the generals of their tribes who have the right to lead troops can only be enough to eat.

But despite this, these pretentious nobles did not intend to give up on this.

A middle-aged tribal chief shouted

"You ungrateful things! Even if Nocas is bad, he is also the most noble descendant of our 'famous' family, you wizards, if it weren't for the funding of our famous families, where would you be where you are today?!"

The smug expressions on the faces of the rebels here were even worse.

They did not have to say anything on this issue, because the policy that the famous families had always advocated was to suppress their sacrifices and gradually deprive them of all their privileges, and the inheritance system of the sacrifices themselves was not interfered with because of the ignorance of these famous families.

One of the priests mocked, "Yes, if it weren't for the 'funding' of your famous family over the years, perhaps I would have been able to speak to you today in a coat made of bearskin, instead of making the wisest of the Wiegand people speak to a group of shameless people under such a thin layer of turf in such a cold winter." ”

The celebrities knew that they were at a loss, but fortunately, he also prepared Plan B, his eyes turned around slightly, and then he said:

"Our Beihai Alliance has established the principle of prohibiting the use of our own people for sacrifices more than ten years ago. And in the year that Lord Nocas first took office, he had already ordered the abolition of human sacrifice. This is all allowed through the Great Tent of Sacred Councils, and after you claim to have received the so-called 'oracle,' you can completely ignore the order that we Wiggans have worked so hard to establish?"

In the face of the accusations made against them by the famous families in the name of the Federation, the faces of the priests finally changed a little.

Yes, the suppression of the sacrifices by the famous families over the years has been caused by the damned institution of the "Union Council", so no matter what decisions these famous families make, he himself has a certain amount of legitimacy in it.

Although the sacrifice is based on the concept of "God's" will, it is not as open as the position of the famous people in terms of legitimacy.

Although those chieftains who were not from famous families had common competitors with the priests, the famous families, because of the early wrong decisions of the priests, they supported the construction of alliances led by famous families, and there was a deep rift between them and these objects that could have been used for alliances.

Although in the past two years, the priests have tried to eliminate the hostile relationship between them, but they still can't resist the more direct methods of "marriage" and "rebellion".

As a result, these sacrifices were practically not supported by any armed forces.

After all, they are just clergy who make trouble with a stick.

In these tense war years, the powerful men who wield the armed forces could have used this excuse to completely wipe out the unarmed sacrifices.

Those famous people who lost in the verbal confrontation also made a look of "sudden realization", they ignored this religious sacrifice, and ran directly back to their respective tribes to mobilize arms.

The guards in charge of religious rituals were naturally pious, and they could not bear to slaughter them directly, but at the same time, they had to carry out the task assigned to them by the famous family, that is, to surround this religious site.

Not even a bird is allowed to come out.

For the famous families, this rebellion, which was originally a dangerous betrayal, has inexplicably become an opportunity for them to completely grasp and grasp the Beihai Alliance in advance!

This made the priests dumbfounded.

They were not involved in politics or military affairs per se, and they had expected that if they took the opportunity to execute the leaders of these famous families, and the pressure from the Legion of Great Pruus, the chieftains of these famous families and small tribes would succumb.

They would then be able to calmly carry out their plan, dissolve the North Sea Alliance, and then send emissaries to welcome Edward as the military leader of the Wiegand people, and finally divide the political legacy of the North Sea League equally.

It's a wonderful plan, but unfortunately it's just been executed, and it's already coming to an end.

The priests began to despair in an instant from the triumph of their talents.

They quickly put an end to the ritual that had become meaningless, and then used their eloquence and religious skills to persuade people to believe in the old gods to fool the chiefs of the small tribes and the guards who stood on the field who had not withdrawn.

"For the sake of the gods, let us out!"

"In the name of God, guardsmen, I command you to lay down your arms. ”

"Just for the sake of the Wigand people, the guards, the current alliance can't help us win this war, we need a strong leader to lead us, just like the emperor of the Great Pruus, we can't fight separately anymore!"

"The nobles of the famous family have completely degenerated, and they are not worthy of being the descendants of the gods!"

"If you'll let us out of here...... Swear by the gods, and you will be blessed by the gods. ”

If these sacrifices can really make up the life and death of those Wiegand people, it may be said several times that they may really be able to exchange the trust of these guards, the chiefs.

That's right, those "famous families" who stayed behind.

In this rebellion that seized power, the priests were completely unaware of the basic fact that the enemy's front could begin to disintegrate from within, and the famous family was always thinking about dividing the forces of the rebel organization.

The Famous Families were originally composed of several families, and there were many contradictions between them, and in the midst of the crisis, not all of them were against Edward's king.

But these sacrifices raised the slogan "Down with all the famous families" in a panic.

This makes the contradictions between them irreconcilable.

The famous men of these commanders of the guards swore to themselves that they would slaughter these damned gods first, and then deal with the little chieftains who were like grass on the wall, and then deal with the hated invaders of Great Prus.

Everyone
