Game of the World Tree

The so-called sacrifice is actually the sacrifice of living people.

Or more accurately, the sacrifice of life from beings of the same species as the sacrificer.

In fact, life sacrifice is not only limited to evil gods, but also exists in righteous gods. Some clerics often sacrifice their own souls and lives when they inspire some special magic.

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

However, righteous gods have reason and a sense of rules, while evil gods are often paranoid and crazy.

Many righteous gods disdain the sacrifice of life, the method of killing chickens and taking eggs, but for evil gods, this is the easiest sacrifice method to please them.

After all... what the evil gods love to see is the cannibalism and chaotic blood abuse between living beings.

Through the sacrifice of life, they can not only obtain the feedback of vitality, which is one of the original forces of the world, but also obtain great enjoyment from the fear and despair of the sacrifice.

In addition, the more vigorous the vitality of the sacrifice, the better, preferably a powerful superhuman, so it is easier to get the response of the evil god.

Following Otto's order, the high priest quickly brought seven professionals, each of whom had at least the strength of silver rank.

Each of them was tightly bound by the forbidden magic rope, and their eyes were still filled with anger when they looked at Otto.

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

This is also the origin of these people.

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

Entering the main tent temporarily set up by the army station, and shielding everyone else, Otto once again ordered the high priest and the accompanying ordinary priests:

"Okay, let's hold a sacrifice."

The high priest repeatedly said yes, using the materials already prepared to draw a huge magic circle with grooves on the ground, which almost filled two-thirds of the entire tent.

Then, he ordered the seven bound professionals to be placed on the sacrificial circle, and under their terrified eyes, they cut their throats one by one.

For a time, blood spurted out and quickly soaked the magic circle on the ground.

And as the blood flowed into the groove of the magic circle, the dark red radiance gradually condensed on the magic circle.

Seeing the magic circle radiating light, Otto's eyes flashed slightly.

"Okay, you go down first."

he said to the high priest.

The high priest opened his mouth with a slightly embarrassed expression, but in the end he gave a slight salute and led the other priests back with integrity.

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

I saw the blurred giant face looking at Otto standing on the ground, and the voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female rang out:

"Otto, didn't I tell you not to disturb me recently?"

Saying that, the powerful coercion was suddenly suppressed and came straight towards Otto.

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

However, his expression was still fearless, but calmly said:

"Your Majesty Anos, is this the cooperation you're talking about?"

The coercion suddenly dissipated, and a sarcasm appeared on the fuzzy facial features of the giant face:

"Otto, if it was a rude guy like you 200,000 years ago, I would definitely make him regret coming into this world."

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

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

"But if I die, your plan to quickly restore your strength will also lag? 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 ancestor of the blood race by getting the godhead of the ancestor with the help of Nidhogg. After all, Guy's priesthood is fatally flawed."

"You can't get the priesthood of death, even if you become the ancestor, you are just a waste of weak divine power."

"Also, if the current god of death knows that Guy's priesthood is with you, I'm curious if you can still see the sun tomorrow..."

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

"You won't. You are the only one left in the Titan, and you need allies."

"Allies? Hehe, I never need that kind of thing... Come on, if you don't help me spread the faith, why are you calling me at this time?"

The giant face asked indifferently.

Otto's expression became solemn, and he replied:

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

"Elves, those long ears that you mentioned earlier that Uktrahir made? Well, the ones you sacrificed last time are not bad. If there are any in the future, you can donate more to me. sacrifice some."

The giant face said indifferently.

Otto's expression was stagnant, and then he sighed:

"Your Majesty Anos, don't underestimate those elves, they are the elves of the forest of elves, they are not the same as the elves you met in Maple Leaf. They are not only warlike in nature, but also extremely cunning, unlike the traditional sense. The elves are simply the opposite character, and at the same time...they are also blessed by the goddess of life and can come back to life."

"Wouldn't that be better? You can offer unlimited sacrifices."

The giant face doesn't care about the authentic.

Otto:  …

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

"Okay, isn't it that you can't fight again and want to let me shoot? Just say it directly, why go around in such a big circle."

"However, since the elves have taken action, I am afraid that the successor of Uktrahir you mentioned will also be involved?"

After listening to the giant face, Otto straightened his expression and said solemnly:

"If there is no accident, I am afraid that is the case. When you really make a move, it is very likely that you will also meet the one from the Forest of Spirits."

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

"Is it Eve? Inherited all the priesthoods of Uktrahir?"

"That's right, it is said that an elf was conferred a god by his belief in a half-plane, and he also used his clerical power to purify all the mixed-race humans on that half-plane into elves. It is said that the elves have different personalities because of this reason... …”

Otto explained.

After listening to his words, the giant face narrowed his eyes:

"That is to believe in the true God."

"Heh... I have recently studied the power of belief, and I have to say that this is indeed a wonderful ability that enables ordinary people to step up to the level of mythology, but... after all, it's still a bit worse."

"At most, it's just to accumulate some more divine power. If you meet a powerful ancient god, you will eventually fall!"

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

"Your Majesty Anos, this goddess Eve is not ordinary. Although he is a new true god of faith, he easily killed a god with a weak peak of divine power!"

"Although that is also a true god, but it is enough to show the strength of the goddess of life. According to my speculation, her strength may have reached the weak level or even close to the middle level of divine power..."

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

"You know these things and hear them clearly."

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

Otto laughed.

The giant face glanced at him and said indifferently:

"Otto, sometimes... being too smart is not a good thing."

After speaking, he narrowed his eyes again:

"Eve... I really want to meet him for a while. I don't know who is stronger than those dragon gods..."

"Uktrahir sealed my account and let him pay it back."

After speaking, the giant face looked at Otto again:

"Okay, I already know the matter. When necessary, I will take action."

"It's the city in front, right? Well... I can sense that there are no less than 5,000 people with extremely strong life force in it!"

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

Seeing the greedy expression in the tyranny of the other party, Otto hesitated and continued:

"Your Majesty Anos, I'm afraid it's not just here, the elves claim to have dispatched 200,000 troops this time, and now they have divided their troops to attack several other nearby cities. Without your help, I'm afraid they won't be able to defend. "

Hearing this, the giant face gave Otto a mocking look:

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

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

This time, Otto was more respectful.

The giant face sneered:

"Don't you also know how to talk? If you know how to talk, talk more..."

After speaking, he narrowed his eyes:

"Don't worry, solve the city in front of you first, I want to explore the bottom of this Eve's crown, the remaining cities, if they fall, they will fight back, and if their beliefs change, they will be forced to change back. I am here, you What are you afraid of?"

"If I can use this battle to gain the power of this goddess of life, I think... I can reach my goal faster, and your army will become an invincible existence on the entire continent!"

Otto sighed:

"That's only three years. According to the secret information I got from the Eternal Church, after three years, the whole world will open up, all the true gods will come, and then... everything I've done will be in vain. "

"Three years? That's enough. When you become a myth, you won't care about these worldly things, and you're not someone who believes in the true God and takes shortcuts!"

The giant face sneered.

"Okay, I'm going to continue to digest the power of those angels. It's the old rules, pay attention to the artifacts I gave you, and when the battle is fermented to the point where the vitality and the power of the dead are enough to support my arrival, just call me..."

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

Only the blood-stained magic circle and the red maple king Otto standing beside the magic circle were left.

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

"The King of Titans...?"

He was silent for a while, then left the tent and gathered his guards and generals:

"Go ahead and prepare to attack the city."

...

Augs City, Fort Fulzer.

The castle occupied by the players has become a stronghold for the stationed players, and the players defending the city are members of the various guilds voluntarily left behind.

Li Mu and others had already left, and Sophia also rushed to Zerolan with the army. The leader of the All-Star Guild Alliance who stayed here was in charge of commanding, and All-Star A Can temporarily became the city lord.

Among the 5,000 people, most of them are players in the second public beta.

Among the players who participated in the war, they had little war experience and were prone to overturning during the battle, so this kind of defense mission, which had already set up a teleportation formation and arranged divine defense, was the most suitable for them.

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

Including Ye Ye and Nana who chose to stay.

"Is that the trebuchet that the human army is building? It turned out to be made from local materials... Are they going to attack the city later?"

On the tall city wall of the castle, Nana looked at the overwhelming army outside the city wall with a hint of excitement.

"It was not as shocking when our player army set off on the expedition. I feel that the number of people is a lot less."

Ye Ye on the side said.

"Hey, it's quite a lot! The guild just went to grab a tongue. I'm afraid there are nearly 30,000 people here, enough for us to fight."

Beside the two, they were playing with a crossbow facing the wind and smiled.

The crossbow was a spare that the players found from the warehouse where the castle had not been completely destroyed. It was just used to defend the city, and it was also very suitable for the shooter player's attachment skills.

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

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

"What are you afraid of? With the goddess's magical defense barrier, it's no use for legendary NPCs to come! It's really bad, 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 a word? If the big sister comes, then you will win!"

Facing the wind, I wiped my face and said.

"Ma'am?"

The two newbies were a little curious.

"Hey, you probably haven't seen it before. It's God's Favored Zero, an NPC who can summon a goddess."

"Hey... Thighs!"

"Yeah yeah."

Several players chatted with each other.

And while they were chatting, suddenly... a distant horn came over.

Facing the strong wind, let's look at the Red Maple Kingdom army outside the city.

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

"The horn is sounding, and the war... is about to begin."

He clenched his fists, a little excited.
