"No, it's that the Empire made plans to sacrifice the Northern Plains from the start, and there are no nobles living here anyway.

　　Even if all the races here were to die out, the Empire wouldn't feel a bit of heartache, and that's a fact!"

　　Erlangist said in a shaky voice.

　　As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was instantly and horribly silent!

　　It was as if everyone everyone had stopped breathing!

　　Hylia lowered her head, Hoffman slightly straightened his back, and Avril's body became tense, and the atmosphere became unusually grave!

　　"Knock, knock, knock!"

　　A steep knock on the door slightly eased the tension in the arena.

　　Carlos rushed to get up and go to the door, it seemed that being here put Carlos on pins and needles, Carlos fled as if to run to the front door, this time Carlos pulled it open as soon as he could as if it would lighten the mood inside the house a little.

　　"Grandpa!

　　Brother ran out again!"

　　Emil shouted!

　　"There's not a day that goes by that little brat doesn't stop!"

　　Erlangist said through gritted teeth.

　　"Where did he go?"

　　Erlangist stepped out and asked Emil, who was standing in the doorway.

　　"Heading southwest, and this time it's Boudreaux running with his brother!"

　　Emil added.

　　"Hmm?

　　How dare this kid run in the open?

　　Ebbel was telling him something!

　　I can't believe I let Boudreaux run too!"

　　Erlangist said in surprise.

　　"I'll go inform the clan leader of the Oro Owl Clan and just have him send his guard to get Boudreaux back, that Boudreaux guy can't fly very far."

　　Ernst looked like he knew what was going on.

　　"Oh, so what should we do?"

　　Emil said invitingly.

　　"You guys go back and dig a deeper pit, and this time I'll block it off with a magic boundary, so I'll see if he can still escape!"

　　Erlangist commanded.

　　"Okay, I'm going."

　　Emil seemed happy and hopped away, looking like a Robert the Rabbit!

　　"Well, let's continue what we were talking about."

　　Having taken care of things, Eranster resumed his demeanor from earlier when he spoke of the Northern Plains.

　　Over here, Hylia and the others didn't seem to have slowed down from Erlangist's words of unbelievable indignation.

　　The only one here who was an aristocrat was Hylia, and the meaning of that statement directed at her was so obvious that Hylia could certainly hear it.

　　The same words, falling on Hoffman's and Avril's ears, might again derive a different meaning.

　　In the Orc Empire, there is certainly a class distinction between the noble and commoner races, and class is generally the source of conflict!

　　The nobles would enjoy preferential treatment not available to the commoner races, and the commoner races would nominally be taken care of by the nobles, but in fact, where would the high and mighty nobles deliberately take care of the commoners?

　　Some races, seeking refuge, have volunteered to be attached to one of the nobles, and for that reason are willing to become servants at the beck and call.

　　And it's a hard truth that some races don't want to do that, and as a result, they end up being ostracized.

　　We all knew what the truth was, but all very quietly refrained from mentioning it to avoid embarrassment.

　　The fact that Eranster had put the matter on the table in such a straightforward manner left the crowd at a loss as to what to say for a moment.

　　"Honorable Mythic Ratman Clan Chief, I can sense that you have some paranoid opinions about the Empire's nobility system, and the decisions of the Imperial Family within the Empire are not something that nobles can easily influence.

　　Please don't stereotype all the nobles, we all know how powerful the Sea Spirits are, please believe that the Empire has a hard time!"

　　Hylia said solemnly, a look of determination on her childish face.

　　"The Orcs have always been united, the simple Orcs are not as vile as the Humans, and a temporary tragedy must not rub out the trust of the Orcs.

　　Our arrival is the strongest proof of that isn't it?"

　　Avril argued with reason, with words that were earnest and unassuming.

　　"I think so!"

　　Hoffman nodded in agreement.

　　Sure enough, Hoffman the simpleton can not say anything to the truth, but such Hoffman pristine eyes coupled with this simpleton's words, but more people have a sense of trust!

　　"We are here to change all that, and I plug my honor as a priest of the order to assure you that this will pass.

　　The dismal past is coming to an end and a bright future is on the horizon!"

　　Carlos unconsciously took on the clergyman's faction again, and as he did so, he tugged at the purple ceremonial robes he was wearing that signified his status!

　　"Honestly, you don't look like an order priest at all!"

　　Elenster's demeanor eased considerably, and he surveyed Carlos's clothes with interest.

　　"I would swear on my honor as a nobleman that Carlos he is indeed a true order priest!

　　This rank is certified in the Swan Clan temple dedicated to the statue of the God of War.

　　The highest ranking priest in the empire, Lord Thatcherd was the presiding officer in the process of awarding the sacrificial robes when Carlos was certified as a priest!"

　　Shelia said solemnly.

　　Hylia gravely proved for Carlos that as a member of the sacred temple priesthood, having one's identity questioned so frequently was an insult to the priesthood itself!

　　"Well, honorable lady, since you vouch for him so much, I'll endorse him, then I'd like to ask Lord Order Priest to chant a blessed battle song for my clan, is that not too much to ask!"

　　Elenst acknowledged Carlos' identity, but followed it up with a seemingly reasonable request as a way to verify Carlos' ritual strength, which in the end he still didn't quite believe.

　　The Blessing Battlecry is one of the more basic and simple types of battlecry in Order Rituals, and is a pre-battle battlecry to boost morale.

　　Influenced by the bard, the effects of the Blessed Battle Hymn are inconsistent, similar to one of those draws that randomly increases an attribute for a short period of time!

　　This increase is not permanent, but if you receive the Blessed Battlecry steadily over a long period of time, there is a certain chance that you can make a particular increase survive permanently, depending on your luck!

　　An important part of the order's rituals is to empower the people in the territory with blessed war songs, and regular pilgrimages are to be held.

　　The Order Priests who also serve as Lords chant the Blessing Battle Hymn to the people in their territories, so the Blessing Battle Hymn is the most familiar battle hymn to the Order Priests!

　　But that was for normal Order Priests, Carlos happened to be out of that category, Carlos had jumped straight from a blank slate who didn't know anything to the position of Order Priest, and Carlos didn't even know what a Battle Hymn was until he came out of the Temple!

　　Even after all this time, Carlos had only learned some chant priest level battle songs from Shelia.

　　And it hadn't dared to practice much, mastering a seven or eight, and as for the Order Priest level battle song, Carlos hadn't learned it at all!

　Carlos was immediately at a loss for words, because he really wouldn't!

　　On the way here, Shelia had taught Carlos a war song, a spiritual war song that could be used to awaken people from their muddled state.

　　When Carlos was looking at the bas-reliefs in the temple, Shelia used this battle song to restore Carlos' clarity, the effect is relatively single, and the use is not very broad, it is a relatively ribbed kind of battle song.

　　"What?

　　Lord Order Priest, is this Blessed Battle Hymn difficult?

　　If it's too difficult then forget it, it's better for the priest-sama not to force it.

　　Forced chanting of a battle song that doesn't match the rank will be countered by the battle song, the priest-sama should put his body first!"

　　Elenster said thoughtfully.

　　On the surface, Eranster's words seemed like he was concerned about Carlos, but in reality, it was a provocation of the lowest order, deliberately forcing Carlos to sing the Blessed Battle Hymn.

　　"This old man, seeing that I won't, and deliberately saying so, this is not wanting to give me a step down!"

　　Carlos saw the meaning of Eranster's words very clearly, this old man was not as kind as he looked, he had a dark heart!

　　Just now, Shelia had made such a promise, but for her to say that she wouldn't be able to sing the Blessing Battle Hymn wasn't slapping Shelia's face?

　　"Carlos is a very special Order Sacrifice, he was directly chosen and broken by the God of War, and granting the purple Sacrificial Robe only proves that Carlos' Battlecry power has reached the level of Order Sacrifice.

　　But Carlos hasn't systematically studied the Ritual Code, so he can't chant the Blessing Battle Hymn right now."

　　Just as Carlos was about to find an excuse to put it off, Shelia graciously admitted the fact that Carlos wouldn't be able to bless the Battle Hymn!

　　"Even if Carlos is unable to learn the Blessed Battle Hymn in a short period of time, using the Spiritual Battle Hymn will likewise prove his identity as an Order Priest!"

　　Shelia said seriously.

　　"Don't laugh, even though I'm just a magician and don't particularly know much about rituals, I do know that spiritual war songs are only war songs at the level of chanting rituals.

　　On what basis do you justify order sacrifices with a war song of this magnitude?"

　　Erlangist chuckled as if what Shelia had said was some kind of funny joke.

　　Hylia let Erlangist mock her and didn't make a retort, but just began to silently chant a spiritual battle song!

　　"Push the limits of reason and write a sincere oath to awaken the fallen!"

　　"Faith and fidelity to death, farewell to the wailing and lamenting attachment!

　　The singing of the undead from the depths of hell speaks of the winds of undying eternal obsession and ideals.

　　The hurricane takes away the uncertainty and freezes what remains of broken faith!"

　　"A prayerful blessing on life, finding back lost souls!

　　O helpless, gloomy, despondent, lost soul!"

　　"Here I sing the chapter of pursuit, O strange and familiar body!

　　The once glorious splendor pierces the bitter breast at this moment!"

　　"Lonely tears pour out the frosty mourning, freezing the lonely bloom of the fallen fading!"

　　"Throw off the frosty ice gloom where coldness haunts, and the nightly fearful descent spreads.

　　Eroding Invasion of the Fallen Farewell to the past and predestination, and listen in silence.

　　Voice of the Covenant, enjoy the deepest peace of the soul with this!"

　　The chant ended and Shelia stood quietly.

　　"Honorable Noble Sacrifice, I don't know what you mean by this, you are very skillful in chanting spiritual war songs, but so what?

　　Spiritual battle songs are completely different from blessing battle songs, and battle songs of this level no longer have any effect on me!"

　　Erlangist said flatly.

　　"As you said so, this level of spiritual battlecry doesn't work on you, and that's because my battlecry isn't powerful enough.

　　But the same battle cry, chanted by Carlos has a different effect!"

　　Shelia said with a smile.

　　Carlos understood that Shelia was proving it in reverse!

　　The same battle song, chanted by different people, had different effects, and the spiritual battle song now being chanted by Hylia had no effect on Elanist.

　　If Carlos chanted it again, and it worked for Elenst, it would prove that Carlos's ritual level was higher than Hylia's, and as for how much higher, that would have to be said with the effect!

　　"I know the spiritual battle song, it's the only ritual battle song I know, and I'm familiar with it!"

　　Carlos jumped at the chance and couldn't resist making a splash!

　　"I'm a Blazing Sun Magician!

　　Even a real order sacrifice wouldn't necessarily be able to affect me, it would take a scepter sacrifice at least!"

　　Erlangist didn't say this outright, but just sneered aside and thought it in his mind.

　　When Carlos's chanting first began, Eranster didn't feel anything in particular, and was very flat inside.

　　But not Hoffman and the others, the power of Carlos' battle cry was too much for them!

　　The battle song used to clear one's mind, after being chanted by Carlos, was like a great tonic being forced into the body and overcompensated!

　　Hoffman and Avril and a host of Bell Bear and Robert Rabbit warriors felt dizzy.

　　There was a vague feeling that they were going to pass out, and one of them sat there shaking his head, looking like he might collapse at any moment!

　　As an Ode Sacrifice, Hylia's mental power was a bit stronger than average, and didn't have the feeling of being overcompensated, and she had used up quite a bit of her battle song power just now by chanting a close-quarters battle song.

　　Listening to Carlos's battle song now only had the benefit of feeling clear-headed, and the recovery of all the power of the battle song became a little faster.

　　As for Eranster, he was in a state of shock at this point, because he had thought that Carlos's battle song didn't have the slightest effect on him, but the truth was that not only did it have an effect, but it was also surprisingly large!

　　While listening to the battle song, Eranster felt that the consciousness in his mind was clearer than ever at the moment, and his soul was immensely soothed, as if he had been baptized!

　　A magician also had to use mental power to cooperate to launch spells, so mental power was also an important part of the magician's strength.

　　Eranster felt that just listening to this spiritual battle song loosened the bottleneck of the realm that he had been stuck in for so long!

　　Elenster was now a Blazing Sun Magician, and at the top could be an Earth Sage!

　　And if it's not a scepter sacrifice, it's not too far off if it's not a scepter sacrifice to be able to influence a sacrifice at that level!

　　When he thought that he was actually questioning an honorable Scepter Priest just now, Eranster couldn't help but feel a pang of fear.

　　Sacrifices of this level were all big shots in the empire, and the word scepter already represented how powerful people at this level were!

　　And at that moment Carlos was still chanting his spiritual war song to himself.

　　Not the least bit aware of how his image in Erlangist's mind had been turned upside down!
