Chapter 412 Chapman's betrayal?

Elvis is the only remaining late-stage Sanctuary warrior among the Forsaken Gods. If he has a good plan, Richard doesn't mind cooperating with him.

"We haven't told Lord Elvis about joining the Tiger Cult yet."

"He told us that he wanted to contact you before telling us his plan."

Richard's heart skipped a beat. This was directed at him!

"Okay, don't tell Elvis about the Tiger God Sect for now. Let's see what good ideas Elvis can come up with."

With Ferdinand's help, Richard successfully contacted Elvis again.

The last time they contacted, this late-stage Holy Domain clergyman's attitude towards Richard was not very good. After all, he was a high-ranking official in the Thousand Gods Empire before, and he did not have a good impression of Richard, who was from the Free Federation.

But he also knew that if he wanted to leave the Thousand Gods Empire, he would need the help of Richard, so the two sides maintained superficial harmony.

Richard and Elvis' method of communication was no longer two-person communication, but multi-person communication together with four holy domain priests who had joined the Tiger God Sect.

"Richard, thank you for being willing to help us."

The God-Forsaken team suffered heavy losses, and Elvis' attitude towards Richard also changed dramatically.

However, he obviously regarded himself as the leader of the Forsaken of God, and never imagined that Richard had already taken a step ahead of him and completely controlled the power of the Forsaken of God.

"Mr. Elvis, I'm also very happy to hear that you are safe. I wonder if you have any good plans for contacting me and Ferdinand this time?"

Elvis sighed and then told him his plan.

It turned out that Elvis had secretly defected to Chapman, the emperor of the Thousand Gods Empire.

However, the sudden actions of the Hunting Sect and the Poseidon Sect meant that Chapman was too late to rescue the sect behind Elvis. He could only secretly notify him and let him escape in time.

Afterwards, the Hunting Sect also carried out several operations against Elvis, but Elvis managed to escape from the siege with the help of Chapman who secretly passed on messages.

"So what? Does Chapman still dare to resist those sects?"

Ferdinand asked aloud. Not only him, but also the remaining three Forsaken of the Sanctuary and Richard did not believe that Chapman dared to resist those sects.

If he really had the courage, he would not have dragged it out until this time. He would have mobilized the power of the royal family and fought to the death with the Hunting Sect before the Hunting Sect performed the blood sacrifice.

"There must be a reason why Chapman was willing to rebel against those sects."

Elvis continued to explain: "The Pope of the Hunting Sect intends to sacrifice all the believers and low-level clergy of the entire Thousand Gods Empire to the God of Hunting, including the people of their Hunting Sect."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Richard, but even the four Forsaken of the Holy Land who were used to seeing the deaths of their believers, changed their expressions.

As the leaders of the sect, they have no idea how many people there are in the Thousand Gods Empire.

But what they can be sure of is that the population of the Thousand Gods Empire must exceed 10 billion.

Sacrifice billions of humans to enhance the power of the God of Hunting. With such a plan, it is no wonder that Chapman is willing to stand on the side of the Forsaken of God.

After all, by that time, Chapman as emperor would be of no use at all.

Maybe the Pope of the Hunting Sect will focus his attention on Chapman.

"Chapman is working hard to govern the country. There should be more people under his command than just these people on the surface, right?"

Richard blinked and asked Elvis.

"Of course, Chapman has long wanted to rectify the situation in the Thousand Gods Empire. He has also secretly invaded several other worlds and cultivated his own confidants in them."

Then, Elvis said pessimistically, "Even so, we can't defeat the hunting sect that is colluding with the other world, so His Majesty Chapman's opinion is that he will take his own people to take action and leave the territory of the Thousand Gods Empire with us, and then, like the Free Federation and the Green Alliance, take us to the other world he controls."

The four Forsaken of the Sanctuary didn't know what to say. If Elvis had contacted them earlier, they might have really been willing to leave with Chapman.

But now, they are all Richard's people.

"That sounds good. In that case, I hope Chapman can show his sincerity first and secretly relax the control of the hunting sect over several cities so that we can hold the blood sacrifice ceremony."

Richard smiled and then said to Elvis.

"The Tiger God has arrived at the border of the Thousand Gods Empire and can help us leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, the four Forsaken of the Holy Land and even Elvis showed surprise on their faces.

"Okay, I will report this to His Majesty Chapman."

Afterwards, the few of them disconnected the communication, but Richard was able to contact the four Forsaken of the Holy Land again.

"Do you really believe what Elvis said, that Chapman is willing to give up his position as emperor and take you away with him?"

Ferdinand hesitated for a moment before answering, "No matter what, since I have already believed in the Tiger God, I will not betray him."

The other three Forsaken of the Holy Land had the same idea.

After all, their positions have been exposed to the Tiger God. If they anger Richard and the Tiger God, not only will they not be able to escape from the Thousand Gods Empire, but even their lives will be in danger.

Richard knew what they were thinking, but he had no opinion.

It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Even if they are persuaded by Elvis, it is normal for them to want to leave the Thousand Gods Empire.

"This incident should be a trap."

"A trap? That's unlikely!"

Richard explained: "Do you really believe that Chapman would be willing to give up his position as emperor and take you to another world?"

"Although I have never been an emperor, I have seen kings and know how greedy people in that position are for their power, not to mention Chapman, who is so indecisive."

After Richard's explanation, the four people also felt that Chapman's statement was problematic.

"Did Elvis betray us?"

"Not necessarily, but it doesn't make any difference. Since Chapman and the Hunting Cult want to catch us all in one fell swoop, we should just take advantage of their trick."

Richard said with a smile.

Although Elvis was also seriously injured in the previous action of the Thousand Gods Empire, this was only his one-sided statement. And what a coincidence that he survived the two late-stage Sanctuary Forsaken Gods.

And after surviving, he happened to get the news from Chapman, and asked the remaining few Forsaken of the Sanctuary to act together.

These are all suspicious points, and Richard finds it hard to believe this Elvis.

Even if he really had no problems, but did not believe in the Tiger God, Richard would not save him.

Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to take a big bite of the fat meat from the Thousand Gods Empire!

After learning of Richard's request, Elvis, a late-stage clergyman of the Sanctuary, also began to contact Chapman.

Of course, Elvis believed that asking Chapman to relax control of several cities controlled by the Hunting Sect was just Richard's way of confirming that Chapman had really made up his mind to part ways with the Hunting Sect.

Except for Elvis, all the other clergy and believers in the sect were captured by the hunting sect and sacrificed to the god of hunting.

For the hunting sect.

Elvis' heart was also filled with tremendous resentment.

So when he contacted Chapman, he directly stated that this request was the decision of Richard and the other Forsaken Gods.

"Did they really say that?"

Chapman's tone was somewhat skeptical. The other Forsaken Gods were fine, but Richard had no issues with the Hunting Sect.

"Your Majesty Chapman, what I said is of course true. Your Majesty should not forget that the Hunting Cult killed so many of our believers and clergy."

Elvis reminded.

Chapman frowned. Although those people were his subordinates, he did not care about their lives.

If he could take this opportunity to contact the remaining few Forsaken of the Sanctuary and Richard, the genius Sanctuary wizard from the Free Federation, Chapman felt that the cities controlled by just a few hunting sects were nothing at all.

However, in order to do this, of course, they would have to expose the undercover agents planted in the hunting sect.

Compared to the six powerful Sanctuary masters and his future, he felt that sacrificing these hidden pieces was worth it.

"Okay, I will find an opportunity to divert the defense of the Hunting Sect. You can sacrifice the believers and clergy in the city and take revenge on the Hunting Sect."

Chapman then told Elvis about several hunting sects defending the empty city.

……

Elvis quickly contacted Richard and others.

"There are only three cities controlled by the hunting sect?"

Richard's tone was a little unhappy, "In that case, you God-forsaken ones should go!"

Richard then lost contact.

Elvis didn't care. What he cared about was whether he could win over the remaining four Sanctuary-level Forsaken Gods.

"Ferdinand, what do you think?"

"Lord Elvis, of course I support you. Since His Majesty Chapman has shown his sincerity, let's take revenge on the Hunting Sect and leave the Thousand Gods Empire with His Majesty Chapman!"

With Richard's instructions, Ferdinand agreed immediately.

"In that case, I will sacrifice one city with blood, and the four of you can share the remaining two."

After the discussion, Elvis told Chapman the situation directly.

"Richard is unwilling to act together? Doesn't he want to use the power of blood sacrifice to worship the gods behind him?"

There was anger hidden in Chapman's tone, as if it would explode at any time.

"Your Majesty Chapman, based on my observation, Richard is not devout to the so-called Tiger God behind him."

Elvis explained for Richard that he didn't want any trouble to arise because of Richard and delay their evacuation from the Thousand Gods Empire.

"In that case, you guys should take action first!"

Chapman hastily disconnected the message.

Then he looked at the Pope of the Hunting Sect in front of him.

"What should we do now? Richard seems to have noticed our plan and will not participate in this operation."

"It doesn't matter. I have already deployed most of my personnel to the border. Richard will have to find a way to leave the Thousand Gods Empire."

The Pope of the Hunting Sect was not at all panicked, although Richard did not join in the blood sacrifice as they planned.

Their original plan was for the three strongest men at the peak of the Holy Domain in the Thousand Gods Empire to split into three groups and capture the Forsaken God and Richard in one fell swoop.

Now Richard gave up the plan of blood sacrifice hunting sect members.

Fortunately, Chapman was not exposed, and they could use Chapman's identity to lure them out.

"But wouldn't a lot of believers in the hunting sect die like this?"

Chapman said incredulously.

These are all believers of the God of Hunting. Isn’t the Pope of the Hunting Sect afraid of divine punishment from the God of Hunting?

“This is their fate.”

The Pope of the Hunting Sect groaned for a moment and then stopped talking.

All of his strength came from the gift of the God of Hunting, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve the late-stage development in the later period of his life and ascend to the pinnacle of the Holy Land clergy.

For the plan just now, the Pope of the Hunting Sect naturally obtained the consent of the God of Hunting before he dared to use the lives of those believers as bait.

For the God of Hunting, the power of faith provided by these believers is no match for the blood sacrifice of the five powerful sanctuaries.

After weighing the pros and cons, he also supported the plan of the hunting sect pope.

……

One day later, the actions of the five forsaken of the Holy Land Gods began.

Although Richard did not participate in this operation, he also relied on the four newly recruited Sanctuary-level believers to observe the situation of the hunting sects in the two cities.

The result was as he expected. The powerful clergy of the hunting sect left the two cities in advance.

There was no power to resist in the city at all, and the abandoned people of the Holy Land sacrificed their blood to the Tiger God.

The power of this blood sacrifice was extremely huge, and it even carried the resentment and hatred of the followers of the hunting sect.

The Tiger God had to rely on the power of faith to resolve their resentment.

But it is worth it. After this blood sacrifice, the Tiger God's strength is already very close to the peak of the holy realm.

It's just such a thin barrier, but it's like a natural moat.

Without the blood sacrifice, Richard didn't know how many hundreds of years it would take to elevate the Tiger God to the peak of the holy realm.

Soon, the five forsaken ones of the Holy Land successfully completed the blood sacrifice and left before the powerful Holy Land masters of the hunting sect arrived.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Elvis tempted, "His Majesty Chapman has shown his sincerity. He really does not want to continue to be dominated by the Hunting Cult."

"Staying in the Thousand Gods Empire means waiting for death. Are you still unwilling to leave with His Majesty Chapman?"

If it weren't for His Majesty Chapman saying that these Forsaken of the Holy Land are all talents and should not be let go easily.

Elvis wouldn't have tried so hard to persuade them.

"In that case, let's leave with His Majesty Chapman."

Richard spoke first. The four priests of the Holy Land had already known Richard's plan, and they all echoed Richard's statement.

"Very good, then I will contact His Majesty Chapman to discuss the time and place of departure."

Elvis hastily interrupted the message, leaving only four Sanctuary clergymen and Richard.

"Master Richard, you are right. Without your participation, the Hunting Sect and Chapman will not act easily."
