Can't I develop my own character?

Because the power generated by those sacrifices is rapidly converging towards him. Isn't it a supreme honor for these untouchables to use their lives to extend his life?

"Cred, my child, I can feel my body becoming stronger." The old emperor's low voice sounded.

"Father, congratulations, our plan was successful." Creed said standing outside the altar.

"It worked... but it's too weak. The blood sacrificed by ten thousand people might only extend my lifespan for half a month. Is there a faster way?"

“Yes, there is, but…”

"explain."

Creed lowered his head and said, "According to the secret technique I found, the effect of the sacrifice can be further enhanced, but at the same time, the extent of the sacrifice must also be increased."

"How much do you need?"

"Millions, tens of millions... or even more. This is a war. The Blood God will bestow honor and power upon the true victor. That is the path to becoming the Chosen One."

"God's Chosen!" The old emperor's withered eyes brightened. "Ah, what an alluring word! Why am I not God's Chosen? Even that woman, Maganna, could be God's Chosen, so why not me? Child, my beloved child, Creed, go and prepare a sacrifice for me. No matter how many people there are, I will be prepared!"

"Your will... but Father, the people from the Janus Gate have arrived in Barron, and they appear to be secretly investigating the blood sacrifice. Furthermore, the Iron Blood Legion from the west is invading, and Casradi... she is also attempting to usurp your throne."

"Casradi... Humph! I shouldn't have agreed to let her go to Saint Gro City. I know exactly what that bitch Heino is thinking. But don't worry, I've already let her come. I'll promise her the position of Crown Prince. As for the people of Janus' Gate, one day, I will completely expel them from the empire!"

"In my empire, my people can only believe in their emperor! Those who dare to disobey must die! All must die!!!"

The old emperor screamed like a madman, and the blood power in his body became stronger with his voice. The blood cast a huge demonic shadow on him, but the old emperor was unaware of all this.

Creed lowered his head, his eyes filled with emotionless coldness.

...

...

"This old guy really has no good intentions."

Astor, in the castle.

Ryan opened the character interface of 'Lin Qi' and found that the Janus Gate delegation was still arranged in the residence. Two days had passed and the old emperor had no intention of summoning them. Instead, he urgently summoned Casradi.

Use the position of crown prince to tempt her. Her Royal Highness the Princess will most likely go. Although she knows that the old emperor must have a conspiracy, the attraction of the position of crown prince is too great. It can directly help her break the situation and gain the support of the nobles and even the Senate.

Moreover, the position of crown prince was confirmed, and everyone thought that the old emperor was finally willing to abdicate and let someone else take over. Instead, for a while, the image of this old man became taller again.

However, the blood sacrifice did not stop. In the past two days, the people from the Janus Gate were secretly investigating and found many clues.

For example, there are very few prisoners in the prison in the imperial capital.

Those wanderers in the imperial capital have almost disappeared these days.

You have to know that although Barron is a good place, there are still criminals and refugees. There are not many of these people, and there can be easily tens of thousands of them. It's just that few people care about their disappearance.

"It seems that I have to take another step first."

This old guy wanted to delay time. Anyway, Lin Qi had no intention of talking. It happened that Casladi was about to arrive in Barron. According to the news from Weine, the princess only brought Hainuo with her.

Hainuo, hey~ If we can get her over here, then we will definitely make a lot of money.

Here comes the cow!

"It will probably arrive tomorrow. Then... just watch me micromanage."

Although Ryan is not in Barron, Lin Qi is there. The latter is definitely not good at this kind of thing. When the time comes, Ryan plans to turn on the manual operation that has not been used for a long time and operate it personally on Hainuo.

While thinking, Ryan switched the interface back to 'Mortis'. The fifth wife has been developing in the jungle these days. The day before yesterday, she even discovered an inner world and went in alone to level up quickly. Today, she has soared to level 20.

It's time to advance.

This speed is the fastest in history. If those extraordinary people knew about it, they would probably want to fight to death.

However, when Ryan saw the advancement conditions, he immediately couldn't hold back.

Killing Desire Faith followers or demons passing through: 0/100

Should we say that he is worthy of being on the road of revenge? The advanced version actually specializes in killing old perverts!

Although the number is far less than 'Xia Li', where can Ryan find so many old perverts?

demon?

Can anyone tell me where the demon army of the God of Desire is in the Chaos Space?

At least Ryan discovered so many otherworldly spaces, but didn't see a single lustful demon.

Thus, the bright future of the King of the Wild Hunt was blocked.

"Perhaps I could try using the Pot of Greed?"

Ryan had an idea.

Because what is sealed in the Pot of Greed is lust, this plan is theoretically feasible to use lust to attract the old lustful person to come out.

There are definitely no fewer followers of Desire than those of War. The Archbishop of Blood is making trouble all the time. Even if the people of the City of Desire are not mainly active here, a hundred or so people from the entire City of Astor can still be mobilized, right?

Thinking of this, Ryan directly gave orders to Mortis, asking her to find an opportunity to see how many old perverts were hiding in this city when she came.

"But you have to control it. Don't turn the whole city into a base of lust. That would be troublesome."

Imagine a whole city of people doing nothing but cumming all day long. That would be... oh wow, wouldn't it? Oh, Janus, I must have been influenced by the god of desire just now. That's not what I was thinking.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Ryan Ryan."

Amabena is here.

"Oh no! The Aster Army has been defeated!"

"Defeated?"

Ryan was not surprised. The Augustus Empire army crossed the border into Aster three days ago. Just yesterday, this 8,000-strong imperial army was stationed less than five kilometers away from the city, obviously preparing to attack the city.

With the strength of the Aster Army, they might not be able to defend the city, because Augustus's army is a border garrison, a true imperial army, not a local aristocratic army.

As for Aster, there are less than 4,000 people, and a large part of them were recruited just this year and have never experienced war.

It was likely to be difficult to defend the city, and they would be no match for the enemy in a frontal battle, so Angie made a decision - she personally led two thousand people to attack the granary of the Augustus army overnight.

She was successful, but unfortunately her army was entangled by the Augustan army. Now the enemy's 8,000 troops had forced Anjia to an isolated mountain and formed an encirclement.

The officers remaining in Astor City are holding an emergency meeting.

I have to say that the quality of these people is quite good. Facing the attack of the imperial army, no one actually thought of escaping.

"Sir Ryan, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to rescue him."

"People? From where? Why can't I see them?"

"That's the fire support I mentioned earlier." Ryan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, it's time for our counterattack."

.....

Three kilometers west of Astor City, on the mountainside.

The deafening sound of killing came from the woods, and a team of sword and shield soldiers were charging towards the mountain.

"My Lord! My Lord!"

"They're coming!"

The Astor officer who was blocking the way on the mountainside shouted anxiously, "Lord, we can't hold on down there anymore. Take your men and break out from the back of the mountain. We'll attract attention from the front!"

In the crowd, Anjia, wearing armor and holding a large sword, looked down the mountainside and said with a stern face: "I will not abandon you."

"But Lord, if this continues, we will definitely not be able to resist. It doesn't matter if we die, Astor City still needs you to defend it!"

"Aster City..."

A hint of despair flashed in Anjia's eyes.

In the past few years since she took over the management of the city, she has increasingly felt what it means to be "powerless". Although she has repelled the attacks of the Augustus Empire several times before, the frequent wars have also caused the development of the city to stagnate.

War consumes money and manpower, but where can such resources be found on the border? The August family is naturally not afraid of it, but what about her? She can't even see the support of the kingdom.

Maybe... this is the final battle.

She looked in the direction of Astor City. She had made arrangements before she came out. If she couldn't go back, the first priority of the remaining officers would be to escort the people out of the city.

"Ok?"

Anjia looked down.

Suddenly, I saw that a battle seemed to be taking place at the foot of the mountain.

The Augustan army, which had been attacking the mountain in an orderly manner, suddenly became disorganized.

"Reinforcements?" Anjia's first feeling was not happiness, but anger. If the reinforcements came from Astor, they would be useless. Moreover, once the city defense forces arrived, it would mean that no one would carry out her order to retreat.

and many more.

They weren't the city defenders. What was going on? The Augustan army was retreating, heading up the hill?

Battle-hardened Anjia immediately noticed the situation and shouted, "Everyone hold on, our reinforcements are here!"

"Reinforcements?!"

"Do we have any reinforcements?"

"Look, those Augustan soldiers are in chaos!"

kill!kill!kill!

A sharp cry was heard.

Immediately afterwards, a bloody mist filled the air!

Even the Aster soldiers who were excited about the arrival of reinforcements couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously retreated away from the blood mist.

"Is this... a supernatural power?"

Anjia was stunned. This wasn't right. Was this the power of the Blood God? ? These people were a bunch of pagans?!

Thinking of this, Anjia did not act rashly. Everyone stayed behind to build a defensive formation. Just by hearing the screams coming from the blood mist, they knew how miserable the battle inside would be.

The battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and the screams finally stopped. Anjia nervously gripped the sword. She saw a group of shadows appear in the blood mist. Their faces were too far away to be seen clearly, but they gave her the feeling of demons walking out of the bloody hell!

In such a short time, the Augustan army was defeated?

How many people came to the foot of the mountain?

Anjia was a little confused. She didn't remember that there were still a large number of blood bishops lurking in Astor City.

Finally, the other party approached, and she saw those people clearly - fortunately, first of all, they were people. Anjia breathed a sigh of relief. She had heard that the demon army had broken through the other world and attacked humans.

"Are you Anjia?"

'Xia Li' came over and glanced at the officers around Anjia with her black eyes. They were horrified by the bloodiness in her.

The Holy Blood soldiers around 'Xali' were also covered in blood, with solemn expressions, like killing machines.

"I...I am." Anjia swallowed, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am here to rescue you on the orders of His Majesty the King."

"Your Majesty?!" Anjia was bewildered. Which king? Oh, King Amabena, did she secretly hide such a powerful army?

"It's safe now. You can go back to Astor City first."

"Okay...what about you guys?"

"Part of the Augustus army has retreated. I'm going to kill them." After saying this, 'Xia Li' turned and left.

It was not until the Holy Blood Legion left that Anjia and the people around her breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was so scared... When she came over just now, I even thought it was a demon summoned by the Blood Archbishop."

"Yes, these people were actually sent by His Majesty the King?"

"Great! It's the King! We are saved!"

"How many men did you say the king sent?"

"The battle just now ended so quickly, I'm afraid there are at least tens of thousands of people at the foot of the mountain."

Anjia breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand to stop their conversation.

"Okay, let's go back first."
