Chapter 409: The Pope of the Vulcan Cult

“Are these the only ones you have here?”

Richard asked the several legendary warriors kneeling on the ground, and they didn't feel anything was wrong.

Even in the Thousand Gods Empire, strength is linked to status, and the level gap is very strict.

There are only sect knights without clergy talents and sect guards whose status is lower than that of clergy of the same level.

"Your Excellency, these are the only ones available at the moment."

Kama said bravely.

"So how do you connect with the other Forsaken?"

Richard looked at Kama who answered and asked.

"It was the more powerful Legendaries or Forsaken of Gods at the Sanctuary level who contacted us first. We cannot take the initiative to contact them."

Richard nodded. This method could also prevent them from being wiped out by the Thousand Gods Empire, but it would be unfair to the weak.

"Have you told your superiors about my news?"

"Not yet."

Karma said truthfully.

It didn't take long for Richard to rescue Theresa and then let Theresa contact Kama. The superior who was in contact with Kama would contact her regularly to inquire about the situation, but now was not the time.

"According to the previous agreement, my superior will contact me once today."

Kama continued.

Richard nodded, and then he discovered that Theresa was actually trying to get the former clergy of the Harvest Sect to believe in the Tiger God.

It seems that because of the prestige of Theresa, the former bishop, many people were attracted to join the Tiger God Church.

This really surprised Richard.

"I didn't expect you to get into the state so quickly?"

Richard looked at Theresa with a smug smile on her face, and he couldn't help but admire her for changing her mood so quickly.

He was on the verge of death just now, but now he can smile so brightly.

"Love what you do!"

Theresa's approach will only bring benefits to Richard, so Richard certainly has no objection.

Moreover, this is equivalent to sucking blood from the sects in the Thousand Gods Empire to enhance the power of the Tiger God. Richard certainly will not stop it.

With Richard's consent, Theresa's actions became even more blatant, and she directly pulled most of the Forsaken God present into the Tiger God Sect.

Kama and other legendary forsaken ones had no objections either.

After all, the powerful Saint Domain Master Richard is standing on the side. If they really have any objections, it means they don’t want to live anymore.

Soon, it was the time that Kama had agreed to contact his superior.

"Are you Karma?"

A male voice came from the communication equipment, and a look of confusion flashed across Kama's face.

"Your superior had an accident today and was captured by the hunting sect. From now on, you will be my subordinates."

Kama didn't expect that his superior, whom he had just known for a few days, would send it so quickly.

The current hunting sects have no intention of imprisoning those Forsaken by God, and they basically kill them on the spot after they are caught.

"How is the situation over there recently? I received news that your bishop Theresa was rescued by a powerful person from the Holy Land."

Richard snatched the communication device from Kama's hand.

"I am the powerful Saint who saved Theresa. Who are you?"

"Oh? You are Richard?"

Obviously, this superior already knew Richard's true identity from the circulated portrait.

"You are a Saint Domain wizard from the Free Federation. What exactly do you want to do by breaking into the territory of the Thousand Gods Empire at this time?"

"To save you, of course."

Richard teased, and then stated his purpose.

"I want to delay the current ruling party in the Thousand Gods Empire and buy time for the legal development of the Free Federation."

"Very good, it seems that we have the same goal."

The man spoke again: "I am the Pope of the Vulcan Cult, Ferdinand."

"It turned out to be him."

Before Richard could remember any information about Ferdinand, several legendary Forsaken Gods nearby exclaimed in surprise.

Anyone who can become the Pope of the Fire God Sect must be at least a Sanctuary-level existence.

"Master Ferdinand, are you still alive?"

A deacon from the Vulcan Sect shouted loudly towards the communication equipment. Richard glanced at him and told him to be silent immediately.

Then, Richard also recalled the information about Ferdinand.

This is a powerful sanctuary who has a different experience from Theresa.

Ferdinand was born into a large family. He showed an amazing affinity for the element of fire when he was born. He was immediately chosen as a personal disciple by the former Pope of the Cult of the God of Fire, who took him by his side to train him as the next Pope.

Ferdinand lived up to expectations and broke through to become a holy priest at the age of 29.

What impressed Richard the most was Ferdinand's affinity for the element of fire, which had reached the point where it affected the color of his hair.

This is very similar to a god-level wizard in history who became famous for his fire magic.

In other words, Ferdinand is likely to possess the talent of a god-level wizard.

After joining the Vulcan Sect, his talent was not buried, but instead it burst out with different colors.

"The Free Federation sent you here. What do you want to do?"

Ferdinand asked doubtfully.

Although a little surprised that the loosely managed guys from the Free Federation would actually send people to the Thousand Gods Empire at this time,

But this is also good news for them, the Forsaken of God.

"No, no, no, I came to the Thousand Gods Empire on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with the Free Federation."

Although Richard also wanted to wave the banner of the Free Federation, he knew that the Free Federation would not get involved in this mess.

The members of parliament and the president of the central government of the Free Federation are also elected by the various city-states and do not have absolute say.

Therefore, even Evans, the president, could only let Richard act alone and could not assign the strong men of the Sanctuary in the Free Federation to provide assistance to Richard.

"yourself?"

Ferdinand found it a little unbelievable. Richard had nothing to do with them, and according to his understanding, Richard had only joined the Free Federation for a short time, but he was willing to take risks to buy time for the Free Federation.

However, this is consistent with the consistent style of the Free Federation that he had previously known, so Richard should not have lied.

"How strong are you, the Forsaken of God, now? What are you going to do?"

Richard asked tentatively.

"Anyway, the only Saint Domain experts left among us are wanted by the Thousand Gods Empire, so there is nothing to hide from you."

Ferdinand's tone became low, "You know, on that day in the capital of the Thousand Gods Empire, many popes and bishops of our sects were caught and sacrificed by those guys because they were unprepared."

"Among the Forsaken of God, there is one in the late Saint Realm, two in the middle Saint Realm, and seven in the early Saint Realm."

Even if he didn't say it, Richard would be able to find out from the wanted poster of the Thousand Gods Empire after a while.

The strength is not weak either, Richard couldn't help but nodded.

On the day of the Thousand Gods Empire Conference, more than a dozen powerful saints from various sects were sacrificed in blood. It is extremely rare to find such strength among the Forsaken of God.

However, these forces alone cannot compare to the current ruling group in the Thousand Gods Empire.

At least, from the information Richard had obtained, the two popes of the Hunting Sect and the Sea God Sect had been granted a large amount of divine power for their meritorious service in blood sacrifices to the gods, and their strength had reached the peak of the holy realm.

Including Emperor Chapman of the Thousand Gods Empire, there are already three people at the peak of the Holy Domain.

In addition, they also control the sectarian knight army of the Thousand Gods Empire, and their strength far exceeds that of the current Forsaken of God.

"We were originally planning to contact the Green Alliance, but the Holy Domain wizards in the Green Alliance are all a bunch of selfish guys."

Ferdinand said this with a tone of indignation.

"The Holy Land wizards of the Green Alliance should be preparing to split up, right?"

Richard inquired.

Although the Green Alliance regards itself as the successor of the Green Empire, the ascended wizards in the Green Alliance are not well received by the Green.

In addition, the Green Alliance is preparing to leave the wizarding world and go to another world under their control.

These sanctuary wizards will also be completely separated, and the Green Alliance's already very fragile relationship will probably not last long.

"Not yet, but just like the Free Federation, it's impossible to get them to send people over."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course, we will fight to the death with the remaining sects in the empire and avenge the gods we believe in."

Although these were words of revenge, Richard could sense a hint of helplessness in Ferdinand's tone.

After all, their current strength is too weak.

With the strength of the ten powerful Saint Domain masters among the God-Forsaken, even if someone proposed to escape from the Thousand Gods Empire, they would have to worry about whether it was a trap set by the Thousand Gods Empire.

"It's probably not that simple, is it?"

Richard reminded: "Among you God-forsaken, there must be people who have abandoned their original beliefs and surrendered to the Hunting Sect. If it weren't for you Saint Domain strongmen who were in independent contact with your subordinates, I'm afraid you would have been caught long ago."

“Don’t worry, our sect has been passed down in the Thousand Gods Empire for hundreds of thousands of years. The infiltration of the Thousand Gods Empire is not something a weak sect like the Hunting Sect can understand.”

"alright."

Hearing Ferdinand's confident tone, Richard stopped the words of comfort he was about to say.

"Since you want to fight to the death with the Hunting Sect, why don't you listen to my plan!"

Richard smiled and said, "I know a sanctuary-level deity who can accept blood sacrifices."

"Since the Hunting Sect can sacrifice the believers and clergy of your sect, you can do the same and sacrifice them."

"A god of the sanctuary level?"

Ferdinand was a little hesitant, but he thought that the god he believed in was dead, and he and Richard were just partners.

It seems that using this method to retaliate against hunting sects is not a bad idea.

"Okay, give me your contact information."

Richard and Ferdinand exchanged contact information, so there was no need for Kama, the legendary Forsaken of God.

Richard then contacted the other nine powerful Sanctuary Realm warriors of the Forsaken God through Ferdinand.

They did not reveal their location to Richard, but simply agreed to Richard's revenge plan.

In fact, even among these ten powerful saints who were abandoned by God, there was no trust.

They united together simply because they faced the threat of life and death.

Richard didn't care. What he needed was to borrow the power of ten powerful saints to help him sacrifice the priests and believers of the Thousand Gods Empire. While delaying the pace of the Thousand Gods Empire, he also strengthened the power of the Tiger God.

As for the problem of traitors, Richard also has a solution.

Currently, only the nearly one hundred Forsaken Gods around him and Ferdinand know his location information. As long as he gets rid of the traitors around him, he can move to another position.

Richard had also been using his spiritual power to sense these God-forsaken people around him, and did not find any of them using communication equipment or praying.

However, this does not prove that there are no traitors among these God-forsaken people around him.

After interrupting the communication between the powerful Sanctuary masters among the Forsaken of God, Richard turned his attention to the Forsaken of God beside him.

"I have good news to tell you. I will try my best to keep you alive, but the prerequisite is that you must change your beliefs like Theresa and believe in the Tiger God."

After Theresa's propaganda, these God-forsaken people also learned about the Tiger God Sect.

However, there are still a small number of God-forsaken people who are unwilling to give up their beliefs and join the Tiger God Sect.

"Of course, even if you don't want to change your beliefs, I won't do anything to you. But I want to remind you that I will soon take the God-forsaken who believe in the Tiger God away from here, and I will not care about the lives of the remaining God-forsaken."

After hearing Richard's words, the remaining twenty or so God-forsaken who had not joined the Tiger God Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Lord Richard, I am willing to join the Tiger God Sect."

Kama, a legendary deacon, stepped forward and chose to be the first to join the Tiger God Sect.

Among the remaining people, twos and threes chose to join.

In the end, only eight Forsaken of God were left who were unwilling to abandon their original beliefs.

Richard had no objection to this, but asked the abandoned gods who joined the Tiger God Sect to pray to the Tiger God under the leadership of Theresa.

The forsaken ones present were all experienced clergymen and were naturally familiar with prayer.

In the originally quiet basement, low prayer sounds began to be heard.

The Tiger God in Ender's world also sensed their prayers and the huge power of faith they provided.

The Tiger God quickly activated his sacred bloodline to find out whether any of these people were spies planted by the Thousand Gods Empire.

"It turned out to be her?"

Richard felt the feedback from his consciousness and knew who the traitor was among the Forsaken of God.

However, the identity of this traitor really surprised her.

"Karma, you are a spy planted by the Thousand Gods Empire, right?"

Richard looked at Kama's pious expression, but judging from the Tiger God's feedback and Kama's power of faith, she was indeed a spy.

The power of faith she provided to the Tiger God was not pure, and carried a hint of black air.

This is a manifestation of disrespect.

Combined with the Tiger God's bloodline detection, Richard was already certain that she was the spy.

But Richard could not have imagined that it would be Kama.

She is the organizer of this group of Forsaken Gods. It seems that the Thousand Gods Empire is taking the initiative and wants to gather all the Forsaken Gods together directly.
