Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 17: Ambush

The breath of the gods is so dazzling in the world of Entagre, like a torch in the night, the bright moon in the night sky, as soon as it appears, it attracts everyone's attention, whether it is good or malicious.

Even if it was just one of Haka's doppelgangers, the majesty of the gods was enough to make the lowly creatures who did not possess enough strength to curl up and tremble. Centered on the Hillsbrad Hills, this coercion affected several regions, and even caused some unrest in the kingdom of Ashwood, which borders the Tirisfard Glades.

Antonidas, who stayed in the Kingdom of Virgil, sensed this breath from the gods for the first time. The chaotic and evil power of the blood god Haka made the legendary archmage sense that things were going in some unknown direction.

This is true even for the legendary-level powerhouses thousands of kilometers away, let alone an expeditionary force that can almost be regarded as close at hand.

If it weren't for Kudran's quick eyes and hands, he climbed the city wall with his hand and pulled it, I am afraid that this griffin would have been injured by falling from a height, but despite this, Snow Fury, who was seriously affected by the power of the gods, did not dare to flap his wings and fly high again, and could only stand on the ground and make a low sound, his voice was full of fear.

Compared to the beasts with keen senses, the human soldiers near Shadowfang Castle were sluggish, but they were also greatly affected, and the terrifying aura seemed to have imposed a shackle on them, making it difficult for those who were not determined to move. If it weren't for the werewolves in the castle, I'm afraid the entire expeditionary force would have suffered great losses as a result.

Pierre stood still and stared in the direction of the Hillsbrad Hills, for a legendary being like him, the word god was too far away from them, far beyond his imagination. It was the first time he had faced the pressure of the gods, even if it was just to feel the pressure of the gods from a distance hundreds of kilometers away.

Relying on the support of the Holy Light for spirit and will, Tibest barely supported his body and walked to Pierre's side: "Your Excellency, that is?" ”

"Gods! I guess it's probably a doppelganger of some god descended there! Pierre said in a bitter tone, "Tibest, hurry up and take your soldiers back to the camp, this war is no longer for us to participate in from now on!" Before His Majesty's will leaves the world of Ntagre, any reckless action will push the lives of those soldiers to death! ”

At this time, in the place carefully arranged by the trolls of the Dark Pines, Haka, who had enjoyed a good meal of flesh and blood sacrifices, looked at the trolls prostrate at his feet condescendingly, and considered whether to swallow these so-called believers as well. The heroic little guy he had just swallowed in his belly was far from satisfying his appetite.

Fortunately, although Haka is an evil god, it is not as completely bad as those evil ancient gods. Considering that these trolls might bring him more sacrifices in the future, the Haka clone finally held back his appetite.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the troll high priest offered his loyalty in time.

"Great hosts! Less than 400 kilometers away, there are many, many offerings waiting for you! The Dark Pines are ready to drive you whenever you want! ”

The Dark Pine Trolls had gone to great lengths to bring the blood god Haka's doppelganger to come and prepare this sacrificial ritual for him, of course, it couldn't have been just to please the god. These fangs have only one purpose, that is, with the power of the blood god Haka, to completely turn the hills of Hillsbrad into the territory of the Dark Pine tribe, and wipe out all those hateful humans and orcs! If you have the chance, it's best to take the entire Silver Pine Forest into your own hands.

And now, more than 300,000 humans are gathering near Shadow Fang Castle, and there are nearly 200,000 people living in Nanhai Town, as well as the Blood Cave Clan in Dunhold Castle, although the number is less than 100,000, but the powerful body and soul of orcs have a greater attraction to Haka.

The Haka clone with the appearance of a shadow dragon glanced at the troll high priest indifferently, as a god, even if he was just a doppelganger, he wouldn't care what the troll high priest had in his stomach, because it was really something that didn't mean anything to the gods.

"I am satisfied with this sacrifice, and I am pleased with your piety, so I will grant your request and bless you and your tribe!" Haka's clone spoke, waving his claws casually, and a thick blood-colored power enveloped the bodies of these trolls, especially the troll high priest.

Under the influence of this force, the bodies of the troll warriors around the circle swelled rapidly, and the muscles under the skin swelled like blown balloons, and under Nandus's gaze, these troll warriors turned into "monsters" one by one, looking like small giants.

And the changes of those troll sacrifices were even more obvious, large scales appeared on their bodies, venom began to drip from the fangs in their mouths, and their bodies began to transform into wind snakes, but without exception, the strength of each sacrifice crossed several levels in less than half a minute, and leaped into the heroic level.

The biggest change happened to the Troll High Priest. The troll high priest, who could only barely enter the hero level, quickly turned into a monster with a snake head and a human body under the influence of this blood power. Behind the body is a tail full of scales like a poisonous snake. And his aura directly crossed the legendary level from the hero level and directly stepped into the realm of legends!

It can be said that with just one blessing, the strength of the entire Dark Pine tribe has undergone earth-shaking changes, from a small force with few heroes to a powerful existence that is enough to influence the world!

Both the ordinary troll warriors and the troll high priests were all overshadowed by this sudden happiness, and for a moment, they all shouted to the sky, and then prostrate themselves on the ground, sending various words of praise to the Haka clones who were lying on the altar ready to digest the sacrifice.

"Well, don't forget what you just said! I will stay here to digest the sacrifices just now, and in the meantime, if you can bring me more and better sacrifices, I will give you more power, and even let you ignite the divine fire and become my slave god! ”

If the power that continues to emerge from his body makes the troll high priest very satisfied, then the opportunity to become a god promised by Haka's clone made him directly lose the last shred of reason, he can't care to carefully check the power that appears in his body, and can't wait to prepare to take those heroic priests and more powerful troll warriors to set off to destroy those humans and bring more sacrifices to Haka!

In the entire camp, only Nandus stood stupidly, staring coldly at the Haka clone who was lying on the altar with his narrowed eyes.

The power of the blood released by the Haka clone before had not been contaminated with Nandus's body in the slightest, so at this moment, he was very conspicuous among the trolls, so conspicuous that the Haka clone finally noticed this werewolf who came out of nowhere.

"Do you want my blessing too?" Haka's clone said lazily, ready to use a little gadget to get rid of this werewolf. It's like sending those stupid believers away. The power he gave to those trolls was the indigestible residue of those sacrifices, although as long as he was willing to spend his strength, he could still use his divine power to slowly decompose these residues, but at this time, the Haka clone was very stingy, and he was unwilling to waste any of his divine power on this kind of thing, so he did not hesitate to give these residues as a reward to those stupid mortals.

Since it is a residue, it is bound to have very big side effects. The energy contained in those residues can indeed significantly improve the strength of these trolls, but it also contains all kinds of negative emotions and residual souls, which will affect those trolls at all times, and eventually make those trolls lose their sanity and self-awareness, and become puppets and monsters who only know how to kill.

As an evil god, Haka's clone is not so kind to cultivate a group of powerful believers for himself. After a day at most, the trolls will become living corpses and then die as they swell, their blood and souls becoming another batch of food to fill his stomach and use as new energy to restore the power of the blood god Haka!

"I'm not interested in your blessings!"

"So what do you want from me, werewolf? Say it, as long as you can give enough sacrifices, whether it is supreme power or eternal life, I can give it to you! And even like I just said, let you ignite the divine fire and become an immortal and immortal god like me! ”

Nandus pursed his lips in disdain, and showed obvious mockery at the big words of the Haka clone. If the gods were truly immortal, then the blood god Hakka would not have fallen to such a state! Only those foolish trolls would believe the crazy words of this evil god, what supreme power, what eternal life, what ignites the divine fire, but it is just a trick used by this Haka clone to deceive people!

"I just need one thing!"

"Speak up!"

"Divine power and soul fragments in your body!"

With that, Nandus crushed a small statue in his hand, and from the broken fragments of the statue, it was a statue that was exactly the same as the Shadow Dragon.

"Mortal, how dare you blaspheme the gods! I'm going to...... Ah~~~"

Before Haka's clone could finish speaking, he felt a sudden surge of intense pain from his body, as if his body and soul were piercing through huge steel nails and slashing with sharp steel knives.

"What have you done to me, mortal?"

"Nothing! It's just that the next time you choose a body, it's best to check whether it fits or not! Nandus said with a sinister smile.

For this moment, he and Fenruth didn't know how long they had waited and how long they had been planning. It is conceivable that they had already done something in the corpse of the shadow dragon, otherwise how could they have given the corpse of this powerful shadow creature born with heroic strength to the trolls as a container for the arrival of the blood god Haka.

"How dare you do it to the gods! Mortal, do you think that with your humble power, you can really hurt me? Haka's clone could feel that from all corners of this body, a large and corrosive shadow force was constantly emerging, constantly attacking his soul. Since he had already fused with this body at this time, these shadow powers could directly attack the soul fragments left in Haka's clone without hindrance, regardless of his powerful physical strength.

"I'm not as stupid as you are!" Of course, Nandus knew that with his own strength, he couldn't hurt the other party at all, even if the other party was just a clone of the blood god Haka. But if he can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't.

With a wolf howl, a figure no smaller than the shadow dragon slowly emerged from the night not far away, and the shadow wolf from the shadow plane, Fenruth the Devourer, was staring at the Haka clone with those sharp eyes.

Along with Fenruth, there were thousands of elite shadow werewolves, as soon as these shadow werewolves appeared, they did not hesitate to attack those trolls, Nandus even directly found the troll high priest after crushing the statue, the entire camp was full of chaotic battlefields, the Dark Pine Trolls and Shadow Werewolves, who were allies a few minutes ago, were fighting each other like enemies of life and death, eager to tear each other to pieces.

"It's you! Damn, you're just a shadow creature, even if you have legendary strength, do you think you can still devour me like you did on the shadow plane? "The appearance of Finrus the Devourer has made the Haka clone finally understand who is behind the calculations, and the name of this shadow giant wolf is also widely spread among the gods, because this giant wolf is said to be able to devour all things in the world, and for the gods with great power and long life, only such an existence is qualified to be the target of their attention.

Despite the surprise of Finus' appearance, the Khaka clone wasn't too worried. The so-called devouring, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than crushing the soul of the prey with its own strength, and then assimilating it. Perhaps for those who have not yet ignited the divine fire, Fenrus the Devourer is a very terrifying existence, but for the gods, this ability is a bit of a frustration.

Because after the gods ignite the divine fire, the soul level is inherently higher than that of the creatures that have not ignited the divine fire. As long as his doppelganger still maintains a soul connection with the blood god Haka, then it is impossible for Fenrus the Devourer to devour the soul fragments in his body at all, and at most he can only devour the divine power in his body.

Even more optimistically, relying on the advantage of the soul level, the blood god Haka still has the opportunity to "eat" the Devourer Fenrus in turn, absorbing the power of this shadow giant wolf and using it to restore his strength. This is also the reason why Haka has not been willing to recover the divine power and soul fragments in his body until now. For an evil god like him, greed has always been a trait they are very famous for.

So, after realizing who his enemy was, the Haka clone stopped worrying, and began to concentrate on fending off the shadow forces in his body that were constantly attacking him, while saying contemptuously to Finus the Devourer, "Stupid beast, do you think this little trick can defeat me? As long as the soul fragment in my body is not severed from the blood god Haka, you will never be able to fulfill your ridiculous fantasies! And I, in the end, will make you a part of me, and then reign in this world! ”

"Oh, and what about now?"

A voice with a mocking tone came from some corner, and at the same time, a gray force quickly enveloped the entire altar. The Haka clone was horrified to find that with the appearance of that gray power, he had lost the connection with the body, which meant that the blood god Haka, who had not completely broken away from the seal, had lost control of the clone!

Haka's doppelganger's face finally showed a look of fear!
