"Are you saying that the red archbishop of the church is a high-level magician? He was forced by you to commit suicide? Are you sure he is not a junior magician or an intermediate magician?"
After listening to King Culver's description, Prince Eric immediately showed a look of astonishment.
There was obviously a bit of disbelief in the shock.
What is a senior magician?
That is the mainstay of the Holy Continent, which is equivalent to the existence of the peak silver knight here in the Glory Continent.
You must know that the Golden Knights of Glory Continent can be counted on one hand, so the gold content of the Silver Peak Knights is actually very high.
Although this gold content is nothing in front of Nalant, but apart from that, if you pull out anyone at random, they will be the capable men of the great nobles.
Therefore, Prince Eric naturally did not believe it when he heard that a senior magician was forced to commit suicide by a few earls in the Agate Principality.
"His Royal Highness Eric, the red archbishop himself said that he is a high-level magician!" Although Eric's doubts made people feel uncomfortable, King Culver still nodded truthfully.
"Okay!" Prince Eric reluctantly agreed, but he still felt that the red archbishop's strength might be false.
At this time, Nalant couldn't stand it, and immediately said, "His Royal Highness, we don't know the true or false strength of the red archbishop, but can you tell us about it?"
What’s that last red glow?”
Nalant is very clear about the strength of the red archbishop, and he is undoubtedly a high-level magician.
But now there is no need to show off in front of Prince Eric. He even thinks that it would be better if his strength is fake.
Because he had just told the earls that it was best not to expose his affairs.
Now, what he wanted to know most was what impact the blood sacrifice guidance had on the Glory Continent, because the perception from the sky made him very uneasy.
"Well, if your description of that red light is correct, it should be a blood sacrifice guide. It relies on the sacrifice of a large amount of blood. It can be sensed by the master of the dark world, and then take the opportunity to transfer a large amount of death energy to come, and it is also accompanied by a large amount of
Dark creature!"
Although Nalant was dressed like a little vassal, Prince Eric looked down upon him.
However, I had to ask the people on this continent to help me later, so I still reluctantly explained.
After a pause, Prince Eric continued: "However, the blood-stained guidance of just two or three thousand people cannot arouse much death energy, so you don't have to worry too much! By then, it will infect at least half of the earl territory, and the dark creatures'
Quantities are also very limited.”
"No wonder the red archbishop said before he died that he was waiting for the dark abyss to come!"
Nalant nodded when he heard this, and he understood what the red archbishop meant.
However, just when Nalant was relieved, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a red glow coming from the north.
Although the color of this red cloud is much lighter, it is still as strange as when the three thousand holy knights died before.
"Nobles, I, Eric, am here on behalf of the Bach Empire this time..." After explaining, Prince Eric was ready to tell the reason for his coming.
However, at this time, Nalant spoke again, directly interrupting Prince Eric's words.
"Your Highness Eric!"
"What's the matter?" Prince Eric was a little unhappy when he heard this. If he didn't need to show enough kindness, he would not even look at such a small character in the Holy Continent.
"Your Highness Eric, I wonder if the red glow over there is also caused by the guidance of the blood sacrifice?"
Nalant had no choice, because the red clouds coming from the north were related to the entire Holy Continent. If he didn't ask clearly, he wouldn't be able to feel at ease.
"And Hongxia?" Prince Eric subconsciously looked towards the north.
"How is this possible!" But the next moment, Prince Eric froze, his previous calm expression disappeared, and his face became extremely ugly.
"Your Highness Eric, what's wrong?" When everyone saw the eldest prince's expression, they immediately felt a sense of crisis and hurriedly asked.
"Such a large-scale red cloud has at least tens of thousands of blood sacrifices..."
"And once the number of people guided by the blood sacrifice exceeds tens of thousands, the effectiveness will be doubled..."
"With the guidance of tens of thousands of blood sacrifices, the range of death energy and dark creatures can cover several northern principalities!"
"What? Several northern principalities!"
After hearing Prince Eric's explanation, all the earls present changed their expressions.
How big is the Glory Continent? Adding the Agate Principality, desert areas and some edge areas, it is only an area the size of four or five northern principalities at most.
Therefore, these northern principalities cover almost the entire Glory Continent.
"Your Highness Eric... will these death auras dissipate by then?"
"No, when the death energy reaches a certain level, the rate of disappearance will become slower. During this period, all living things and plants will have been infected by the death energy. By then, the death energy will stop dissipating and will become permanent.
Stay and let this place become a dead land!"
"Become...become a dead land...the entire Glory Continent..."
Both the nobles of the Northern Principality and the nobles of the Agate Principality present all swayed.
"His Royal Highness, my subordinates believe that the church city at the northern end of the passage has also used the Blood Sacrifice Guidance!"
"Although such a number of people cannot make the death energy come immediately, I am afraid that it may be as short as more than half a month, or as long as one or two months, and the death energy will completely come. We should leave here as soon as possible!"
Anyone who can follow the great prince of the empire is naturally not a fool, and they also know what consequences the blood sacrifice of tens of thousands of people can cause.
Prince Eric also didn't expect that after discovering such a continent and planning to exploit it without telling the other principalities, something like this would happen.
Of course, it was a pity, but he also knew how to be flexible, so he immediately said.
"Nobles, don't worry, you are considered a part of our human race, so even if you can no longer stay in this continent, you can go to the Holy Continent."
"When the time comes, our Bach Empire will protect you!"
Eric's plan is simple. Since he cannot continue to exploit here, let these people be included in the Bach Empire.
When the time comes, we can always find ways to obtain some benefits, whether it is the population or the wealth brought by the nobles, it should be a considerable amount of wealth.
"This..." All the nobles immediately showed extremely complicated expressions.
It was originally thought that the church members would be completely killed, and then the Glory Continent would return to peace.
Although it has the participation of the Bach Empire, it is at least better than the entire continent being controlled by the church.
But now Prince Eric is telling them that the Glory Continent will become a dead place in the future, and everyone will leave their homes. This is an existence that is difficult for anyone to accept.
"Your Highness Eric, is there really no other way?" At this time, Princess Isabella also spoke.
Now it is not just a matter of the Agate Principality, but also a matter of the entire Glory Continent.
"Miss Isabella, there is really no other way! The blood sacrifice of tens of thousands of people is a guide. Even in our holy continent, all the people within the range must be evacuated immediately."
"Otherwise, if you stay within the range, you will definitely die." Eric replied affirmatively.
"What can we do now?"
"Then our territory will be gone?"
"Not to mention the territory, if the Glory Continent is really infected by the death energy, whether we can survive is a question!" The last invasion of dark creatures left a very deep impression on everyone.
Fortunately, there was no death aura accompanying it that time. As long as the dark creature's attack was resisted, the dark creature would die on its own after a few days.
But this time is different. If the death energy does not dissipate, the dark creatures can exist forever. On the contrary, living people like them cannot stay in places with death energy for a long time, otherwise they will be infected and die.
"Everyone, I know that you may not be able to accept it for a while, but this is a fact. Alas, as an imperial prince, I can understand the thoughts of all nobles!"
"Nobles, I will arrange for my subordinates to rest first. It seems that I will need to return to the Holy Continent in the next few days. However, if you need any help before that, I will try my best to assist as long as I can. After all,
We are all humans!"
After Prince Eric finished speaking, he expressed his sympathy for the nobles and led them away directly.
Everyone in the Northern Principality and Agate Principality were left at a loss.
"His Royal Highness, why did you leave so quickly? Time is so tight now. Shouldn't we start looking for the goddess immediately?"
"Kate, these nobles of the Glory Continent are facing a life and death crisis now. Do you think they are willing if I ask them to help find the goddess?"
"If His Highness doesn't provide them with benefits that can avoid the crisis, they will definitely not agree. After all, they are about to face life and death, and other things are not as important as life and death."
"So, Kate, as this unexpected situation changes, I am also going to change my plan when I come!" Prince Eric said with a smile.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Originally, I was thinking that since our Bach Empire was the first to discover this continent, we could hide it for a while like the church and reap some benefits."
