"The remnants of the Harvest Church are trying to sacrifice the entire North with blood."
"They want to awaken the gods from the previous era!"
Inside Fang Yuan's camp.
Klein, brought back by Qingfeng and Vanas, was telling the information he knew.
Outside the camp.
Noisy sounds were heard coming into the camp from time to time.
There was the creaking sound of loaded carts.
There were also sounds of cavalry shouting for patrols.
You can know that you should be near Shimmer City now.
But Shimmer City is close at hand.
But Klein didn't have any plans to escape.
He didn't even think of shouting for help.
From being rescued to the way back.
He has already seen the power that saved these people.
Its strength is so terrifying that even the Guardian Knight of the Harvest Church cannot stop it.
Let alone myself.
After recognizing his own situation.
He decisively chose to cooperate.
They killed people from Harvest Church.
At least not as an ally of the church.
As long as you tell the truth about the church's conspiracy.
Then they will definitely be their allies.
Because the Harvest Church wants to sacrifice the entire northern territory with blood.
"Tell me more specifically!"
Fang Yuan raised his hand slightly to signal Klein to continue speaking.
Klein bowed slightly and performed a standard noble etiquette.
This is respect for the strong.
It is also a reverence for life to be in the hands of the other person.
"I was ordered by Aman Bird to go south with the cavalry."
"Go to Harvest Town and seek a way to attack the Ogre Forest from the Harvest Plains."
"The Byrd family is the most powerful noble in the North."
"The town of Harvest relies entirely on the grain trade of our Bird family to survive."
"So borrowing a road is just a notification."
"After we arrived, the priests of the Harvest Church in the Harvest Town warmly received us."
"After knowing the purpose of coming."
"Not only did they agree to borrow the passage, they also offered to send a group of three thousand Guardian Knights to participate in the war against the Ogre Forest."
"That surprised me a little bit."
"After all, the Harvest Church has never sent troops to participate in any war before."
"But I didn't think too deeply about it."
"Only when they want a share of the profits from the war against the Ogre Forest."
"Acquire new lands."
"So I casually agreed."
"Then they stayed in Harvest Town and gave me a banquet."
"And at the banquet, after I drank their wine, I found that I fell into a state of confusion."
"At first I thought he was drunk."
"But soon, my consciousness became blurry."
"The body is not under its own control."
"Immediately afterwards I felt my body being moved."
"At this time, I haven't fallen into a complete lethargy."
"Because I have practiced a secret technique of spiritual training."
"Relying on this secret technique, my consciousness began to gradually recover. After the dizziness in my eyes disappeared, I found myself lying under an altar."
"Around the altar are the legions of Harvest Church hosting sacrifices."
"They didn't know I had woken up at this point."
"The guards guarding us were talking quietly."
"I heard them saying that as long as we are killed, the sacrifice site in Harvest Town will be completed."
"Then we just need to wait for the sacrifices in the Bird Territory to be completed."
"The blood sacrifice ceremony in the north can be completed."
"At that time, the Lord God of Harvest will wake up from his thousands of years of slumber."
After hearing them say this.
Not long after, the priest from Harvest Church appeared at the altar.
Along with him came a man called the Son.
Once they arrived, the guards began killing the prisoners around the altar.
Pour blood into the altar to activate the magic pattern of blood sacrifice.
And I am the last prisoner of the blood sacrifice.
You need to wait until the blood sacrifice begins before killing.
And the time when the blood sacrifice begins.
It was the ogre legions breaking out of the forest.
When Bird was slaughtered to open up the territory.
"I vaguely heard them say."
"The final activation of the blood sacrifice requires the power of the Ogre Lord."
"Once we get here, I don't know what happens next."
"They left shortly after and I was chained to the altar."
"And I just took advantage of the time they left."
"Opened the chains, killed the guards, and escaped from the altar."
"This is the information I have."
After hearing the news from Klein.
Fang Yuan looked at Christian.
"Blood sacrifice!"
"I'm quite familiar with this."
"Before, on the Wind Breath Grassland, the Mist Legion also used the power of blood sacrifice."
"But Christian."
"Why does the blood sacrifice use the power of the Ogre Lord?"
"Does the ogre have any special power in his body?"
Christian lowered his head and thought for a long time.
"I heard a rumor in the Holy Light Church before."
"The reason why ogres can improve their strength is by constantly eating people."
"It's because during the ancient war period, I received a bloodline from another world."
"This bloodline is cruel and violent."
"But it has a strong spell-breaking effect, especially for magic like enchantments and seals."
"If we can extract and control the power of this bloodline."
"Then any seal in the world will be broken."
"If we want to use the power within the Ogre Lord's body."
"Your Excellency."
"Perhaps they just want to use the power of the Ogre Lord's bloodline."
"To awaken the sleeping evil god."
"Their sleep is actually a special kind of self-sealing."
When Fang Yuan heard this, he suddenly realized.
"I see."
"Just Christian."
"What does this have to do with the Black Mist Stone Forest?"
This time, Christian couldn't answer the question.
"Your Mightiness."
"If you want to know the truth."
"Then we can only wait until things progress to that point."
"Just by doing this, we need to take a huge risk."
"Once at the last moment, we did not stop their blood sacrifice."
"We will also enter the scope of blood sacrifice."
"Become sacrifices together."
"This~"
"It is indeed possible."
"Christian, can we think of a way to control the progress of the sacrifice."
"Like destroying the altar!"
"Or you can directly send troops to attack Harvest Town."
"Force them to reveal their final plan."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
"Your Excellency, it's not impossible."
"It's just that the altar was destroyed."
"They will definitely know."
"Then the sacrifice will be postponed."
"Even terminated."
"As for forcing them to reveal their plans."
"These believers are crazy, and the probability of committing suicide is higher than stated."
"If they commit suicide, then the blood sacrifice will be terminated, and we are afraid that we will not be able to complete this mission."
"Not as good as~"
"We control key nodes."
"for example!"
"Ogre Lord."
"If they want a blood sacrifice, they must use the blood power of the Ogre Lord."
"Control it in our hands. During the blood sacrifice, we get the truth."
"Rescue the Ogre Lord."
"Thereby interrupting their sacrifice."
"And control of the Byrd family."
"From Klein's words, we know that Harvest Church will complete the sacrifice."
"We need to use the power of the ogres and the Byrd family."
"They need the war on both sides to kill creatures in order to activate the altar."
"And the altar that needs to be activated is most likely the main altar."
"Your Mightiness."
"If we can control the Byrd family and the main altar."
"Plus the controlled ogre monarch."
"We can take the initiative."
"The progress of the sacrifice can be completely controlled by us."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"You can do this."
"Then whether it's the Byrd family or the Ogre Lord, we have to take it down."
"But we have to catch both of them in one fell swoop."
"It might even be a bit difficult to capture him alive!"
In response, Christian raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Your Excellency."
"It might have been a little difficult before."
"But probably not now."
Christian said and pointed at Klein.
"He is Old Bird's favorite son."
"I want to open up the territory and the north for Bird."
"Sir Klein, you should be willing to cooperate with us."
Fang Yuan and Christian speculated on the process of Harvest Church's plan.
Klein listened to the whole thing.
Although it is an inference, Klein has already concluded.
This is most likely true.
Therefore, even if Fang Yuan doesn't mention it.
He will also proactively ask for cooperation.
"Your Mightiness."
"For the North."
"I am willing to obey your orders."
"Any order."
"Even if it means destroying the Bird family, I will execute it without hesitation."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan looked a little surprised.
Klein said at this time.
"The Byrd family can die, but not the North."
"This is the north of Gondor!"
"It is also the northern border of all the ancestors."
“The Byrds were just the trailblazers who led them.”
"But definitely not the owner."
Fang Yuan didn't expect that Klein would have such a high profile.
"Klein!"
"If people with this kind of pattern can survive, they will not be unknown in history."
"Unfortunately, historically, I am afraid that he has died under the command of the Harvest Church."
"But this time it can make up for his regret."
Then Fang Yuan nodded.
"Can."
"So, Christian."
"Tell me your plan!"
Christian bowed slightly.
"Your Excellency."
"Klein took the initiative to cooperate."
"Then my plan isn't complicated."
“There’s just a little bit of integration.”
"Let Klein become the old Bird of the Bird family!"
"Kill old Bird, change his disguise and replace him with Klein, and take control of the Bird family."
"Using the thirty-six strategies of Blue Star Civilization that your lord often said, it is to steal one's strengths and replace them with others!"
"As long as old Bird is ours, then not only can Bird's pioneering power be mobilized to implement subsequent plans."
"And wait until Klein replaces Old Bird."
"We can control the castle in the pioneer territory."
"Find the location of the main altar and arrange an ambush in advance."
"At the same time, we can also find the traitors within the Byrd family who have taken refuge in the Harvest Church."
"After all, Harvest Church wants to do such big things here."
"Without the support of the Bird family, this would never be possible."
"And I'm afraid this insider will play an important role at the last critical moment."
"We're replacing old Bird with Klein."
"Find this insider and replace it with Vanas."
"Then the Bird family can basically control it."
"As for the Ogre Lord."
"You can ignore it for now and let it invade the Byrd family's territory according to the established plan."
"When he enters the territory of the Byrd family, before the sacrifice begins, Fiona and I will lead the army to take action. It will not be difficult to control him directly."
"If we catch him just in time, the mission of breaking through the Ogre Forest can be easily completed."
Fang Yuan clapped his hands.
"wonderful!"
"Kill two birds with one stone!"
"That's it!"
"So what's next?"
Christian looked at Klein.
"Let him go!"
"Klein, return to Shimmer City immediately and find your brother."
"Tell him about the attack he suffered at Harvest Church."
"Said that he had important information and wanted to report it to Old Bird."
"Requesting return to Castle Bird."
"Then take the initiative to find us, announce to everyone, and hire us to escort you back to Bird Castle."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan asked worriedly.
"When Klein returns to Shimmer City, will he be assassinated?"
Christian said quickly.
"Qingfeng, you must protect Klein."
Qingfeng nodded imperceptibly.
Then Fang Yuan issued the order.
Under the escort of Qingfeng.
Klein appeared quietly on the road outside Shimmer City.
