The so-called sacrifice is actually a living sacrifice.

Or, more accurately, the life sacrifice of a creature of the same species as the sacrificer.

In fact, life sacrifice is not only limited to evil gods, but also exists among righteous gods, and some clergy often sacrifice their souls and lives when they stimulate some special divine arts.

After all, soul power and life power, although the level is not as high as divine power, is also one of the origin forces of the world, and it is energy that can be directly absorbed and utilized by the gods.

It's just that the righteous gods have reason and a sense of rules, while the evil gods are often paranoid and crazy.

Many righteous gods disdain the sacrifice of their lives as a way to kill chickens and take their eggs, but for evil gods, this is the easiest means of sacrifice to please them.

After all...... What the evil gods love to see most is cannibalism and chaos between living beings.

Through the sacrifice of life, they can not only receive the feedback of the life force that is one of the primordial forces of the world, but also get great enjoyment from the fear and despair of the sacrifice.

In addition, the more vigorous the life force of the sacrifice, the better, preferably a powerful transcendent, so that it is easier to get a response from the evil gods.

With Otto's order, the High Priest soon brought seven prostitutes, each of whom had at least the strength of the silver rank.

Each of them was bound by forbidden ropes, and their eyes were still angry when they looked at Otto.

In war, there will always be some prisoners, as well as some rebels who are dissatisfied with the rule.

That's where these people come from.

As sacrifices to the gods, they were the best choice for Otto.

After entering the main tent which had been temporarily erected at the army garrison, and retiring all the others, Otto again commanded the high priest and the ordinary priests who accompanied him:

"Alright, let's make a sacrifice."

The high priest repeatedly said yes, and drew a huge magic circle with grooves on the ground with the materials he had prepared, which almost filled two-thirds of the entire tent.

He then ordered the seven bound professionals to be placed on the sacrificial circle, and one by one, their throats were slit under their terrified gaze.

For a while, blood spurted out, and it quickly soaked the magic array on the ground.

And as the blood flowed into the grooves of the circle, the dark red light gradually condensed on the circle.

Seeing the light emanating from the circle, Otto's eyes flashed slightly.

"Alright, you guys go down first."

He said to the high priest.

The high priest opened his mouth with an embarrassed expression, but in the end he bowed slightly, and honestly retreated with the other priests.

Not long after the high priest left, the light on the circle suddenly intensified, and a burst of purple-black smoke suddenly rose, turning into an illusory giant face in mid-air......

I saw a vague huge face looking at Otto standing on the ground, and the voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female sounded:

"Didn't I tell you, Otto, not to bother me lately?"

As he spoke, the powerful coercion was suddenly pressed down, and he came straight towards Otto.

Otto's face turned pale, and he subconsciously knelt on the ground.

It's just that his expression is still fearless, but calmly:

"Your Majesty Arnos, is this what you mean by cooperation?"

The coercion suddenly dissipated, and a hint of mockery floated on the blurred features of the giant face:

"Otto, if it was an impudent guy like you 200,000 years ago, I would definitely make him regret coming to this world."

"If it weren't for the fact that you are Guy's descendant, you are already dead, and the entire Maple Leaf Territory will be destroyed!"

Looking at the indifferent expression of the giant face, Otto stood up, patted the dust on his body, and smiled at the same time:

"But if I die, your plan to quickly restore your strength will also lag, right? And you will also lose a possible ally in the future. ”

Looking at Otto's confident expression, the giant face said indifferently:

"Otto, are you vampires so confident?"

"Don't think that you can become another Bloodline Ancestor by getting the Ancestor's Godhead with the help of Nidhogg, Guy's godhood is fatally flawed after all."

"If you can't get the priesthood of death, even if you become an ancestor, you're just a waste with weak divine power."

"Also, if the current Grim Reaper knows that Guy's priesthood is with you, I'm curious if you'll be able to see the sun tomorrow......"

Listening to the cynicism of the giant face, Otto smiled faintly:

"You won't, now that the Titans are left with you, you need allies."

"Allies? Hehe, I never needed that kind of thing...... Say, if you don't help me spread the faith, what are you calling me for at this time? ”

Giant Face asked indifferently.

Otto's expression was grim and he replied:

"Your Majesty Arnos, I'm in trouble, the elves have joined the war."

"Elves, those long ears that you mentioned earlier? Well, the few animals you sacrificed last time tasted good, and if you have them in the future, you can sacrifice more for me. ”

The giant face said with a sigh of relief.

Otto froze for a moment, then sighed:

"Crown Anos, don't underestimate those elves, they are the elves of the Forest of Elves, and they are not the same as the elves you saw in the Maple Leaf Realm. Not only are they warlike by nature, but they are also extremely cunning, and they are simply the opposite of elves in the traditional sense, and at the same time ...... They also received the favor of the goddess of life and were able to rise from the dead. ”

"Wouldn't that be better? Sacrifices can be infinite. ”

The giant face doesn't care about the authenticity.

Otto:......

Looking at his speechless appearance, the giant face said mockingly:

"Okay, isn't it just that you can't beat me again and want me to make a move? To put it bluntly, why go around in such a big circle. ”

"However, since the elves have made a move, then I'm afraid that the successor of the Yxtra Sil you mentioned will also be involved, right?"

Listening to the words of the giant face, Otto straightened his expression and said in a deep voice:

"If nothing else, I'm afraid that's the case, when you actually make a move, it's very likely that you'll also meet the one in the Elven Forest."

The giant face nodded slightly, and his blurred eyes moved slightly:

"It's called Eve, right? Inherited all the priesthoods of Yggtrasil? ”

"That's right, it is said that an elf canonized a god through the belief in the half-plane, and also used his priesthood power to purify all the half-plane half-plane half-blood humans into elves, and it is rumored that the elves have very different personalities for this reason......"

Otto explained.

Hearing his words, the giant face narrowed his eyes:

"That's faith in God."

"Huh...... I've recently studied the power of faith, and I have to say that it's a wonderful ability that allows the mundane to step into the mythical ranks, but ...... After all, it's still a little worse. ”

"At most, it's just to accumulate more divine power, and when you encounter a powerful ancient god, you will eventually fall!"

Seeing the disdainful expression on the giant face, Otto hurriedly reminded:

"Your Majesty Anos, this Goddess Eve is not ordinary, although he is a newborn God of Faith, but he easily killed a god with a weak divine power!"

"Although it is also a true god who believes in it, it is enough to show the strength of the goddess of life, according to my speculation, his strength may have reached the weak level or even close to the middle divine power......"

Glancing at Otto's serious expression, the giant face was a little surprised for a moment:

"You know these things well."

"After all...... Becoming a myth is also one of my goals, the priesthood of the first ancestors does not require faith, but it requires a lot of death and killing, and you also need to expand your faith through war and fear, which is the basis of our cooperation, isn't it? ”

Otto laughed.

The giant face glanced at him and said indifferently:

"Otto, sometimes...... Being too smart isn't a good thing. ”

As he spoke, He narrowed his eyes again:

"Eve...... I'd really like to see him for a while, I don't know who is stronger than those dragon gods......"

"Yggtrasil sealed my account, let him pay it."

After speaking, the giant face looked at Otto again:

"Okay, I've got the know, and I'll take action if necessary."

"It's the city in front of you, right? Well...... I could sense that there were no less than 5,000 beings with extremely strong life force inside! ”

The giant face looked in the direction of the city of Augs, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

Seeing the other party's tyrannical expression with a little greed, Otto hesitated for a moment and continued:

"Your Majesty Anos, I'm afraid it's not just here, the elves claim to have sent an army of 200,000 this time, and now they have divided their forces to attack several other nearby cities, and if you don't have your help, I'm afraid it won't be able to defend it."

Hearing this, the giant face glanced at Otto mockingly:

"Otto, are you using me as your weapon of war?"

"No, just because you're the only one who can save the day, and don't you need to devour more souls too?"

This time, Otto was much more respectful.

The giant face sneered:

"Aren't you talking, too? If you can talk about it, say more......"

After saying that, He narrowed his eyes:

"Don't worry, solve the city in front of me first, I want to explore the bottom of this Eve's crown, the rest of the city, if it falls, it will come back, and if the faith changes, it will be forced to change back, with me, what are you afraid of?"

"If this war can be used to take away the power of this goddess of life, I think ...... I can reach my goal faster, and your army will become an invincible presence in the entire continent! ”

Otto sighed:

"That's only three years, and according to the secret information I got from the Eternal Church, in three years, the whole world will open up, and all the true gods will come, and then...... Everything I do will come to naught. ”

"Three years? Enough until you become a myth, you won't care about these worldly things, and you're not the shortcuts who believe in the true God! ”

The giant face sneered.

"Okay, I'm going to continue to digest the power of those angels, it's still the old rule, pay attention to the artifact I gave you, and when the battle ferments to the point where the vitality and the power of the revenant soul are enough to support my arrival, you can call me ......"

After speaking, the giant face turned into purple-black mist again, slowly dissipating in mid-air, and the terrifying coercion in the big tent gradually disappeared......

Only the bloodstained circle remained, and the red maple king Otto standing next to the circle.

Otto put away the smile on his face, and looked at the circle with a hint of inquiry:

"King of the Titans...... Is it? ”

He was silent for a moment, then left the tent and gathered the guards and generals together:

"Tell me to go down and prepare to attack the city."

……

Augs City, Forzer Fortress.

The castle occupied by the players has become a stronghold for the players, and the players who defend the city are members of the guilds who have volunteered to stay.

Li Mu and the others had already left, and Sophia also rushed to Ze Luolan with the army, and the one in charge of commanding was the high-level of the All-Star Guild Alliance who stayed here, and the All-Star Ah Can temporarily replaced him as the city lord.

Of the 5,000 people, most of them are players in the second open beta.

Among the players who participate in the war, they have little war experience and are prone to overturning during battle, so this kind of city defense mission that has already set up a teleportation array and arranged a magical defense is the most suitable for them.

This was their first time participating in a large-scale war mission, and it was also the first time they had participated in a city defense mission, so everyone was quite excited.

Including Yaye and Nana, who chose to stay.

"Is that the trebuchet that the human army is building? It turns out that it is really made from local materials...... Isn't it time for them to attack the city? ”

On the tall walls of the castle, Nana looked at the overwhelming army outside the city walls, with a hint of excitement on her face.

"It's not as shocking as when our army of players goes out, and I feel that the number of people is a lot less."

Yaye on the side said.

"Hey, it's quite a bit! Just now, the guild went to catch a tongue, and I'm afraid there are nearly 30,000 people here, enough for us to fight. ”

Next to the two of them, they were fiddling with the bed crossbow and laughed at the wind.

The crossbow was a spare from the castle's not yet completely destroyed warehouse, and was used to defend the city, as well as for the shooter player to attach skills.

"Will there be a high-level class? What if there are high-level professionals? We don't seem to have high-level NPCs......"

Looking at the continuous army in the distance, Yaye was a little worried.

"Afraid of what? There is a goddess's magic defense barrier, and this thing is a legendary NPC for nothing! If it's really going to work, isn't there a teleportation array? Alice, Thranduil, Samir, Rose and even the eldest sister, who do you want to come over, it's not a matter of words? If the eldest sister comes, then it will be a win! ”

Facing the wind, he wiped his face and said.

"Big sister?"

The two newcomers are a little curious.

"Hey, you shouldn't have seen it yet, it's Divine Favor Zero, an NPC that can summon goddesses."

"Shhh...... Thighs! ”

"yes, yes."

Several players chatted with each other.

And just as they were chatting, they suddenly ...... A distant trumpet came.

Facing the wind, he shook his head and looked at the Red Maple Kingdom army outside the city.

I saw that the countless gray figures suddenly began to move slowly.

"The trumpet is blowing, the war is ...... It's time to get started. ”

He clenched his fists and said with some excitement.
