Chapter 669: Blood Sacrifice Conspiracy, Alice's Choice

Above the city of Solomon, Budley looked down at the group of ants below with a scornful smile on his face.

"Master, according to your instructions, Solomon City has been in chaos. It will only take two months to start the blood sacrifice." Morton's figure appeared beside Budley, bowed, and reported respectfully.

After hearing this, Budley nodded in agreement: "Not bad."

His plan was to sacrifice blood in this city of one million people to open the gate to the abyss. When a certain layer of the abyss invaded this world, he would fish in troubled waters and return to the abyss unnoticed.

As for that woman, there is no rush now. It will not be too late to kidnap her when the demonic disaster breaks out.

Inside the city of Solomon, inside the temple of the Church of the God of Beasts, a middle-aged man in a white robe entered the temple with a worried look on his face. He came to the ear of the old man in a gray robe and whispered what he had discovered in the city.

"Archbishop, in recent days, many demon followers and even half-demons have been found in the city. Do we need to investigate the entire Solomon City and warn Her Royal Highness Princess Alice Joyce?"

The gray-robed old man opened his cloudy eyes and said in a low voice: "Baal, there has never been any trace of demon followers and half-demons in Solomon City."

Upon hearing this, Barr was surprised and asked, "Archbishop, why is this?"

"This is the will of my God."

After the gray-robed old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued to pray.

As a high-ranking member of the Church of the Beast, he knew part of the truth.

Upon seeing this, Baal bowed and saluted, then turned around and prepared to leave the temple.

Before Bal stepped out of the temple gate, the voice of the gray-robed old man was heard again from behind.

"Bar, let the church members and their families evacuate this place."

Upon hearing this, Barr stopped and said, "I understand, Archbishop."

……

Inside Solomon's Palace, Alice Joyce looked at the sand table of the Stovia region and pulled out the flags of Blood Wolf Pass and Wind Leopard Pass, two of the thirteen passes on the Gorge Pass Ancient Road, and also pulled out the flags of the seven fortresses of Sea Breeze Hills.

"Your Highness, there is news from Youhu Pass." A female knight in red armor entered the hall, came to Alice's side, and reported respectfully.

Alice raised her head and asked in a deep voice, "Any news about Warren?"

The red-armored female knight was silent for a while, then she reported, "Your Highness, General Warren is missing, and his deputy, Morton, is also missing. Youhu Pass is now managed by General Isid, the commander of the Xiashan Army."

"Why did he disappear? Is there any reason?" Alice couldn't help but ask.

The red-armored female knight bowed her head and replied, "Your Highness, according to General Isid, General Warren may be looking for the demonic weapons buried under the ancient road of the Gorge Pass. As for General Morton, he disappeared on the same day as General Warren and is suspected to have followed General Warren to look for the demonic weapons."

"Tell us all you know."

Upon seeing this, the red-armored female knight told all the information she knew, including the speculations of several other generals in Youhu Pass and the incident of the broken statue.

Half an hour later, Alice's face was gloomy and her hands were shaking. Based on her understanding of Warren, he would definitely go looking for the demon weapon proposed by Morton.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be an accident.

Alice calmed herself down and asked, "Where is Marquis Edmund's army?"

"Your Highness, Marquis Edmund's troops arrived at Youhu Pass the day before yesterday. I believe that with these 80,000 troops, we can hold off the enemy for a month."

"It's difficult!" Alice said with a wry smile and shaking her head.

In less than a month, twelve of the thirteen passes on the Xiaguan Ancient Road, which was known to be impenetrable by all troops, were lost one after another, leaving only Youhu Pass in their hands.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing I need to report to you." The red-armored female knight seemed to remember something and spoke.

Alice rubbed her temple with her hand and said, "Speak."

Upon hearing this, the red-armored female knight said, "Your Highness, the church personnel in the city have been dispatched frequently in the past few days. It seems that they are clearing out something. In addition, according to the report of the city guards, a large number of people have disappeared in the slums."

"Have you heard any useful information?" Alice raised her head with a serious look and asked.

She was sure the church was hiding something.

The Kingdom of Ansa believes in the God of Beasts, but more than one country believes in the God of Beasts.

Thinking of this, Alice's heart became more heavy. She couldn't imagine what terrible things the Church of the Beast God would do to a country that was about to fall.

"No relevant information has been found yet, but I have already sent people to closely monitor the church personnel, and I believe there will be results soon." The red-armored female knight replied with her head down.

"Report to me as soon as you get accurate information."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After the red-armored female knight left, Alice returned to the study, closed the door, went to the dressing table, opened the second drawer, and took out a portrait.

Looking at the man in the portrait, Alice had a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"I hope you're okay."

After a long time, Alice put away her inner feelings of loss, put the portrait into the cabinet, returned to her cool appearance, changed into casual clothes, and left Solomon's Palace.

To outsiders, he was just one of her suitors, but she had deep feelings for him in her heart.

However, as the eldest princess of the Ansa Kingdom and the king's elder sister, she has never revealed her inner feelings to anyone because the country needs her.

Alice passed through the secret passage and came to the street. She glanced at the crowd hurrying by and walked straight to the south.

Alice walked through the crowded crowd and entered the alley, and came to a dilapidated house.

Arriving at the gate, Alice knocked on it regularly as agreed.

In less than a moment, the door opened and a lame old man appeared in front of Alice.

"Sir, please come in."

After Alice entered the yard, the lame old man slowly closed the wooden door.

Ignoring the other party, Alice skillfully covered her head with a cloak, walked into the house, passed through the secret passage, and came to the secret room located a hundred meters underground.

"Your Highness Alice, I wonder what brings you to our Wind Eavesdropper Shelter." A masked man stood up, saluted gracefully, and asked.

"I need you to do something for me." Alice went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Lord Eavesdropper once promised you that our Eavesdropper organization would unconditionally fulfill one of your requests. Do you need to use this authority?" The masked man looked at Alice with some surprise, waiting for the other party's answer.

Seeing this, Alice nodded and said, "I need you, the Wind Listeners, to send Kaixi out of the Ansa Kingdom and protect him for thirty years."

Hearing the other party's words, the masked man said in surprise: "It seems that the rumors are not credible!"
