The specialty of a blood sacrifice was that it took only a short time and had a quick effect. The gods naturally liked this method. As for the other method that had a better long-term effect, they could not see that far ahead. Don't overestimate the knowledge of the gods. In fact, most of the gods were short-sighted.
Soon, the second captive was dragged out. A blood sacrifice was not enough to satisfy the evil god. In ancient times, there were often blood sacrifices of thousands of people. There were even a few blood sacrifices of tens of thousands of people.
As an evil god, the Heartless would not be satisfied so easily. As time passed, the scale of the blood sacrifice would only increase. One day, the believers would not be able to bear it.
If the blood sacrifice could not provide powerful sacrifices, then they would have to rely on sufficient numbers to please the evil god. Therefore, a blood sacrifice would often last for a long time. Through this blood sacrifice, the believers would be able to obtain the god's blessing. The quality of the sacrifices provided by the kobolds was not high, so they could only rely on numbers to make up for it.
The sun gradually set, and the light in the valley became even dimmer. Pine oil torches were lit, and the priests began to dig out the hearts of the captives. Soon, all the captives were killed, but the evil god seemed to be dissatisfied with the sacrifices.
The entire altar was shrouded in an eerie and terrifying aura. The invisible pressure made the kobolds tremble. The evil god was not an obedient child. If they could not satisfy the evil god's request, the evil god would do it himself.
A cold glint flashed across the eyes of the leading priest. He then ordered in a deep voice. A few strong dragon-blooded kobolds rushed to the back of the crowd and grabbed some disabled kobolds and goblins.
The captured kobolds and goblins screamed in horror and tried to escape, but everyone lowered their heads and ignored them. As the obsidian dagger slashed across, a kobold's chest was directly torn apart. His steaming heart was dug out. Scarlet blood spurted out and slowly flowed into the crevices of the rocks on the altar.
As the heart was placed on the altar, the evil god's consciousness showed a trace of satisfaction. Then, it kept urging the sacrifice to continue.
Seeing this, the Kobold Priest inwardly let out a sigh of relief before killing the other Kobold. At the same time, the faces of the Kobolds and Gnomes kneeling before the altar were once again filled with fervent excitement.
The Kobold Priest could feel the power within his body growing, and his heart was filled with joy. After every blood sacrifice, his strength would increase. This was a gift from the gods, and as long as he continued to sacrifice, he would become even more powerful.
Above the altar, a blood-red spirit light enveloped the entire valley. This spirit light was emitted by the Evil God. At this time, the sacrifice had reached its climax. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood. Even Suhlen could smell it in the air.
"Do it!" Suhlen ordered coldly.
"Alex, have the Harpies seal off the battlefield. Don't let any living creature escape!"
"Yes, Master!" Alex gently flapped her wings, and a wave of energy spread out from her body. Soon, three thousand harpies descended from the sky and surrounded the valley.
"Chris, don't leave anyone alive in this battle!"
"Yes, Master!" The little succubus Chris's tall figure stepped forward and responded. Then, a group of demons behind her spread their wings and flew towards the valley in a flash.
The Northern Battlefront City's army, which had already been prepared, began to move. Arrows rained down from the earth walls at the entrance of the valley. The Kobolds patrolling the area were shot into hedgehogs before they could even react. The leading Kobold with dragon blood was the focus of attention. At least twenty arrows pierced through its two-meter-tall body. Blood flowed everywhere, and this Kobold with dragon blood fell to the ground dead before he could even make a sound.
The Barbarian warriors covered in armor all roared and charged forward with their giant axes. These Barbarians directly activated Charge and rushed towards the earth walls at the entrance of the valley like tanks. Then, they jumped and smashed through the gate. The stronger ones even smashed through the walls made of stone, wood, and clay.
The first line of defense built by the Kobolds only lasted for a minute before it was completely destroyed.
Frantic shouts came from the valley, and the sound of the collision startled the kobolds who were in the middle of the sacrificial ritual. The evil god Heartless also sensed something, and it roared furiously. Then, all the kobolds turned their heads to look. In the next second, the kobolds also roared furiously, grabbed their weapons, and rushed toward the entrance of the valley.
Pang pang pang!
As the sound of bowstrings rang out, sharp arrows fell from the sky, instantly pinning the charging Kobold Gnomes to the ground. Blood flowed everywhere.
Spinning Slash!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and colorful organs fell everywhere. The blood made the barbarian warriors even more excited. Many of the barbarian warriors' eyes were bloodshot, and they directly activated Berserk. Their already tall bodies grew even taller, and the axes in their hands were like wheat being reaped. They killed all the kobolds and goblins that rushed up.
Teams of Spear Guards followed closely behind. These Spear Guards wore fine iron armor and held spears in their hands. They lined up in a neat formation and pushed forward uniformly. After the kobolds and goblins collided with the Spear Guards, it was like a tide crashing into a reef. Bright red blood splashed like waves, and the enemies were directly stabbed to death in front of the spear formation.
"Lightning Spear!"
A bolt of lightning appeared in Suhlen's hand, and then a bright bolt of lightning was thrown out by Suhlen. The lightning instantly hit the kobold priest on the altar. The powerful lightning power instantly hit the priest's chest, and a bowl-sized hole appeared in his chest. The powerful lightning power turned the area around the wound into a pile of charcoal.
These kobold wizards were also priests, so who knew if they had some strange spells? So Suhlen took care of these people first. Lightning flashed, and then a few more bolts of lightning shot out. The dozen priests around the altar were just about to attack, but they were all covered by the lightning.
A series of crackling sounds came, and these kobold priests were directly turned into piles of charcoal. Their corpses fell down one by one, and blood kept flowing out. The blood then seeped into the altar. There were sounds of killing all around, and kobolds and goblins were killed one after another. Because Suhlen gave the order to kill, these people did not plan to take any prisoners. Everywhere they went, there was a rain of blood.
Blood sprayed on the ground, and then slowly flowed under the influence of a strange power. The blood slowly gathered towards the altar as if it had a life of its own. Fortunately, the battlefield was in chaos, and no one noticed this problem. Hundreds and thousands of people died, and a large amount of blood gathered. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood.
Nimble half-elven archers nimbly jumped onto the roofs and shot at the enemies.
"Quick, take the high ground!"
"Archers, focus on suppressing the enemies!"
"Break their formation, don't give them a chance to regroup!"
Waves of shouts sounded, and arrows rained down. The kobolds that were just about to gather into a formation were once again heavily injured. The half-elven archers shot very quickly. One of the older half-elves held six arrows in one hand, and in a short two seconds, he shot out seven or eight arrows in one breath. The kobolds that he aimed at fell one by one.
One of the Dragon-Blood Dog-Headed Men roared and grabbed a heavy metal shield and charged forward, wanting to get close to the archers. This powerful Dragonblood Kobold was very fast. The archers immediately focused their fire on it. However, this Dragonblood Kobold's reaction was very fast, and the shield in its hand was very large. It easily blocked those arrows.
With the protection of the other kobolds, this dragon-blood kobold was very fast. Seeing that it was less than ten meters away from the archers, the older half-elven archer's eyes narrowed, and his gaze became as sharp as an eagle's. Then, a scorching energy shot out from his bow.
"Flame Arrow!"
"Boom!"
The flame arrow was like a cannonball that flew over in an instant, and then directly hit the dragon-blood kobold. The shield in the kobold's hand was instantly blown to pieces, and the high temperature directly melted the metal shield. The kobold hiding behind the shield was directly blown away, and his entire body turned into a ball of fire.
After the death of this kobold, the morale of the kobolds in the surroundings collapsed, and they turned to run. The battlefield was completely one-sided, and the kobolds and goblins suffered heavy casualties. Large amounts of blood gathered on the altar, and the evil energy on the altar became stronger and stronger.
Now that the battle had reached this stage, the Kobolds had long since collapsed. Many Kobolds wanted to surrender, but they were immediately killed. Seeing this, the remaining Kobolds started to run. However, there was only one exit in the valley, and they had nowhere to run.
As the kobolds suffered heavy casualties, the evil energy quickly grew, and an evil spirit qi spread out from the altar. The evil spirit qi swept out, and in Suhlen's eyes, the souls of the kobolds that had been killed were sucked in, and a shocking power quickly gathered.
A powerful energy fluctuation appeared, and this energy tore through space, and a black shadow forcibly squeezed in. As the black shadow appeared, the blood on the altar instantly fused into the black shadow's body.
