From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

seeing is believing.

With George Gardner dead, the task of eliminating the traitors was completed; anyone with a modicum of common sense knows what that means.

The traitors were dealt with, but many of the surviving recruits suffered casualties.

These drafters, having lost their teammates, began to direct their anger at the remaining members of the White Hawks.

"What are you trying to do? The matter of the traitors has nothing to do with us. You've seen it yourself, only George Gardner is a traitor. We are victims too." Several White Eagle members looked warily at the group of angry recruits.

With the challenge of eliminating the traitor now complete, it is clear that the traitor was indeed George Gardner.

On the surface, the traitor incident has nothing to do with the remaining members of the White Eagles.

One of the recruits turned to Lu Heng and asked, "George Gardner is dead. From now on, I accept your arrangements. What do you think should be done with these people?"

Lu Heng considered for a moment and said, "If they have persecuted you, you can deal with it yourselves. If they haven't persecuted you, you can consider having them lead the charge in the final battle."

The black armored warrior in the White Eagles exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Half of the recruits are dead. How are we supposed to fight the Blood Demons? You still want to fight one last battle? You just want us to die."

There are quite a few recruits with this idea.

The recruitment scale for this Abyss Battlefield was one hundred people, and now more than half of them have been lost, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

Logically, when recruits are at a disadvantage, their first consideration should be how to save their lives, not how to complete the mission.

Therefore, most of the survivors were thinking about how to survive until the return time, rather than fighting the bloodline demons.

Lu Heng's expression turned serious, and he said loudly in a firm tone, "No matter what you think, I will fight the final battle. You can choose to participate or you can choose to run away."

“Those of you who have been recruited here should know that if you don’t take any risks, you will never go far.”

“My stance is clear: I will definitely sabotage Moznis’s promotion ceremony.”

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I have no need for cowardly companions; you may do as you please."

After saying this, Lu Heng turned and left, ignoring the group of recruits.

One characteristic of human civilization is that it is too civilized, which leads to a variety of voices within a group.

If it is a bloodline race, the higher-ranking bloodline has absolute control over the lower-ranking bloodline. When a group of bloodline demons gathers together, they are automatically led by the highest-ranking bloodline demon, and there will be no dissenting voices.

Because any bloodline demon who dares to oppose will have their head ripped off.

This approach is not suitable for human groups. The more ruthless the methods, the more disunited the people will become. Even if they do not outwardly resist, trouble will still occur at crucial moments.

On Earth, the White Eagle Federation maintained its dominant position in the world for over a century, leading to a cultural orientation that centered on the White Eagle Federation.

This kind of cultural and ideological colonialism is deeply rooted and cannot be changed in just a few words.

Even in the Great Xia, there are many individuals who have been subjected to ideological colonization, not to mention other small countries with White Eagle troops stationed there.

Lu Heng clearly understood one principle.

There has never been a community of shared destiny in the human world; there have only been giants carrying heavy burdens forward.

Of course, when exporting culture, we must raise the banner of a community with a shared future.

In the real world, the true meaning of a community of shared future is comparable to that of a fairy tale.

When immediate interests conflict with the fate of civilization, choosing the latter inevitably means moving forward with a heavy burden.

The revival of the Great Xia Dynasty relied on its five thousand years of cultural heritage, which nurtured generations of people who carried heavy burdens forward.

Lu Heng was determined, but this determination could not sway the decisions of short-sighted people.

Fortunately, Lu Heng did not place his hopes on other recruits from the beginning, but quietly laid the groundwork for his final move.

……

Seeing that Lu Heng had left, Xie Shi'en prepared to leave as well.

Before leaving, he turned to the group of recruits and said, "Since you don't have the guts, I have a suggestion for you. In the final battle, let a few of them charge first, and you can decide based on the situation."

When Xie Shi'en said this, he pointed to the four members of the White Eagles team.

Upon hearing this, the recruits' eyes began to gleam with the ravenous light of hungry wolves.

Because George Gardner was a traitor, they suffered heavy casualties.

George Gardner is the captain of the White Hawks, and even if these White Hawks members aren't traitors, it's impossible for them to completely sever ties.

In this situation, executing them would be inappropriate, so sending them to the front lines in the final battle would indeed be a good option.

Upon hearing this suggestion, the black armored warrior from the White Eagles team immediately cursed, "You despicable Great Xia people! I will not listen to your arrangements."

A Northern Union recruiter pointed a shotgun at his forehead and asked, "You want to object?"

The black man immediately backed down, lowered his head, and said nothing more.

……

the other side.

Within the pillar of earth flames.

Prince Moznis returned from outside and summoned Lawrence Phoenix to his presence.

Lawrence Phoenix was somewhat worried when he went to see Moznis.

He was worried that the [soul imprint] command that Lu Heng had imprinted in his brain was to kill Moznis.

If the stamped command is to kill Moznis, then the command will be activated when he sees Moznis.

At that time, he will do anything to assassinate Moznis, and he will carry it out unconditionally, regardless of whether he succeeds or not.

The authority of the stamped command is comparable to human instinct, leaving no possibility of resistance.

With this worry in his heart, Lawrence Phoenix arrived at the Blood Temple of the Pillar of Earthfire, entered the temple hall, and looked up at the powerful Blood Prince Moz'nis.

The moment Lawrence Phoenix's gaze fell upon Moznis, his heart skipped a beat.

Three seconds passed and Lawrence Phoenix did not react, which meant that the stamped order was not for the assassination of Moznis.

He had no intention of assassinating Moznis, and the steel stamp command was not triggered.

Moznis scrutinized Lawrence Phoenix for a moment before asking, "We haven't received any information about that traitor for half a day. What's going on? Was that one of your men?"

Lawrence Phoenix lowered his head and replied, "He's already been killed. It must have been done by that recruiter named Lu Heng. You should know very well how terrifying this human is."

Moznis's lips curled into a mocking smile as he retorted sarcastically, "Shouldn't you be more afraid of him? If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be a stray dog, would you?"

The phrase "a stray dog" perfectly describes Lawrence Phoenix's current predicament.

Just as Moznis said, it was indeed Lu Heng who exposed his bloodline identity, which led him to hide in the world of bloodline demons.

Lawrence Phoenix, hearing this sarcastic remark, showed no change in expression and replied with his head bowed, "Yes, including Will Berg, who also died at Lu Heng's hands. He was the first bloodline prince among humans."

He paused, then continued, "I also know another piece of information: the previous Bloodline King died in the Elven world, and Lu Heng also participated in that Abyss Battle." Moznis's expression shifted from mockery to seriousness, and he asked, "You just mentioned in your message that Tiins is dead?"

Lawrence Phoenix lowered his head and replied, "Yes, I just found out too. Lu Heng took Tiens' heart. She is the traitor Lu Heng planted in the tribe."

A hint of regret flashed in Moznis's eyes as he said, "So be it. When I become the new king, I will choose a High Banshee."

After a brief pause, he steered the conversation back to the main topic, asking, "How are the preparations for the ritual altar going?"

Lawrence Phoenix replied in a confident tone, "Everything is arranged. When the time comes, you will be promoted to demigod."

Moznis narrowed his eyes and asked, "I heard the altar was attacked?"

Lawrence Phoenix answered without the slightest panic, "Yes, we were attacked by human recruiters. Their mission is undoubtedly to prevent you from ascending to demigod. This is very much in line with the mission logic of the Abyss Battlefield."

"But you can rest assured that the altar was already dilapidated. I have already arranged for people to rebuild it and I will make sure that a more perfect altar is built."

Moznis was satisfied with the answer: "I plan to kill all those recruits before the ceremony. The ceremony will be handled by [the relevant person/organization], so don't let me down."

Lawrence Phoenix knelt on one knee and answered devoutly, "Yes, rest assured, you will surely become the greatest king of the Bloodline."

He said that, but in his heart he was plotting an even more risky plan.

He is now under the control of the [Soul Imprint].

This S-rank skill has a special effect: after the [Soul Imprint] lasts for one month, it will solidify into a memory imprint, after which it will exist permanently.

In other words, if he wants to break free from the control of the [Soul Imprint], he must remove the [Soul Imprint] within a month.

However, the [Soul Imprint] is an S-rank skill, and it can only be removed with S-rank or higher power.

In other words, only SS-level and demigod-level power can remove the [Soul Seal].

So far, no SS-level skills have appeared.

Even if you have an SS-level skill, it must be a skill that removes mental effects.

The SS-rank attack skill has no effect on [Soul Seal].

Therefore, there is absolutely no chance of finding an SS-level skill to remove the [Soul Seal].

Lawrence Phoenix had only one hope in mind...

That's right, it's the power of a demigod.

With the body of a demigod, one possesses immunity to most mental and physical attacks.

In other words, once he becomes a demigod, the effect of the [Soul Imprint] will be automatically removed.

After Lawrence Phoenix had this idea, his heart started racing.

Because if he wanted to achieve this goal, there was only one way: to seize Moznis's opportunity to become a demigod.

That's right, his plan was so ambitious that he wanted to drag Moznis down with him.

This ceremony for ascending to demigod was originally for Moznis.

After obtaining the blood of the Demon God, Moznis began planning this ascension ceremony.

Now all that's left is to upgrade all the altars. Once the construction is complete, he can officially begin the upgrade process.

Lawrence Phoenix's plan was to use this ascension ceremony to advance himself to demigod status. Even if he failed, gaining only a portion of the demigod power would be enough to remove the [Soul Imprint].

If this plan succeeds, he will become the highest-ranking member of the Bloodline race.

Then, after killing Moznis, he will become the ruler of this world.

Although this plan is risky, if successful, it will kill two birds with one stone: not only will it eliminate the [Soul Imprint], but it will also allow control over the entire Bloodline race.

He will go directly from being a stray dog ​​to becoming the king of the Bloodline Clan.

He had already begun making arrangements for this project while the altar was being built.

……

Time gradually brought us to the final stage of the Abyss Battlefield.

There are only three days left until the end of the Abyss Battlefield.

During this period, the recruits' ranks did not have any traitors revealing their location information. They waged guerrilla warfare in the underground caves, attacking many teams transporting ritual materials.

The most important material for Moznis's demigod ritual is the blood of the demon god, but other materials are also needed.

The more demigod materials used, the higher the energy level, and the higher the success rate of the final ascension.

Therefore, over the course of this month, the Bloodline Demons continuously transported high-level materials back from all over the Dragon Sleep Continent.

The Summoners' forces attacked these very teams, attempting to thwart the demigod ritual as much as possible.

Moznis was furious every time he heard that the convoy transporting materials had been attacked.

However, every time he led a team to provide support, all he found was a scene of devastation; the conscripted troops had long since vanished.

This guerrilla tactic infuriated Moznis.

Lawrence Phoenix also received intelligence about the attack on the transport convoy, and he knew very well where the ideology of this guerrilla tactic came from.

However, instead of explaining this guerrilla tactic to Moznis, he let Moznis waste his time chasing after the recruits.

Only in this way will he have more time and space to carry out his plans.

……

As the final three days of the Abyss Battlefield approached, the demigod altar was finally completed.

Lawrence Phoenix went to inform Moznis that the promotion ceremony could proceed as scheduled.

Moznis was overjoyed to hear the news.

During this time, he chased the recruits in the underground cave every day, and was driven to rage by being toyed with.

Now, the mere mention of the recruiter ignites a fire of rage in his eyes.

Now everything is fine. The ascension ceremony is ready. As long as he ascends to become a demigod, the summoners will have nowhere to hide.

After Lawrence Phoenix finished his report, he proposed another idea:
"Your Highness, I suggest postponing the promotion ceremony. There are only three days left in the Abyss Battlefield. If the promotion ceremony is held, the recruiters will definitely come to sabotage it."

“If we postpone it for three days until the recruits return before holding the promotion ceremony, no recruit will stop the ceremony.”

This suggestion is very clever.

By directly abandoning the final battle with the recruits and dragging it out until the Abyss Battlefield ends, the promotion ceremony can be carried out without any obstacles.

Moznis disagreed with his proposal, scoffing, "No! I want to proceed with the ceremony immediately. Tomorrow is the most suitable time for the promotion. Postponing it for three days will lower the success rate."

"Furthermore, after I advance to demigod, I will wipe out all those damned human recruiters!" (End of Chapter)
