Summoning Total War

"What is this?" Murphy looked at the pale golden scales with a trace of blood in his hand and asked in confusion.

The scales were huge, a bit bigger than Murphy's fingernails, so they probably weren't from ordinary fish. Besides, there are no large fish in the Nidolia River. All the fish living here are freshwater fish, which are generally smaller than marine fish. And there are very few fish with golden scales. Murphy has never seen such a large fish in this world.

If it wasn't the fish, was it left by other creatures?

A scale of this size probably came from a creature as big as a person at the very least.

Could it be?

"Are those dark scale murlocs here for the owner of this scale?" This guess suddenly popped up in Murphy's mind, and Qi felt more and more true.

Going south from the town of Athens is the direction of the sea.

After winding down for 300 kilometers, the Nidolia River will turn to another plain area, and after going around half a circle, it will finally reach the South China Sea.

Where is the area that humans have not yet explored, so there is no name.

Humans in this world are still very unfamiliar with the sea. They are used to naming the sea after the four directions of east, west, north and south.

Strictly speaking, the distance from the town of Athens to the sea is definitely more than 500 kilometers. This number is more close to the distance of a straight line. The Nidolia River originates from the Daxue Mountain in the northwest of the mainland, and forms a delta in the middle of the mainland. Then the river is divided into two, the large river leads to the South China Sea, and the small river leading to the East China Sea. The Nidoria River is more than 6,000 kilometers long and spans almost half of the continent. The main branch of the Nidoria River flows through Murphy's territory.

A distance of more than 500 kilometers, which has greatly exceeded the range of activities of a species

It would probably take less than a week to come to Athens from the South China Sea, and these dark scale murlocs had to be able to swim more than 100 kilometers a day. It is impossible for them to come here for no reason, so the only plausible explanation is.

In order to find or capture certain creatures, they appeared within the range of Athens, which is more than 500 kilometers away from the sea.

Since the darkscale murlocs could be chased all the way for thousands of miles, they must not be ordinary creatures.

"What kind of creature could it be?" Murphy put the pale golden scales under the sunlight, and a brilliant radiance reflected them.

If it is some kind of large sea creature.

It must be very beautiful, right?

Looking at the pale golden scales in his hand, Murphy thought in his heart.

………………

--------------------------------

The dead are buried.

Because of the appearance of the darkscale murlocs, Murphy had to distribute weapons to the fishermen, and then asked them not to spend the night outside during this time, and returned to the port to rest after dark.

The Nidolia River has fertile water and grass, and both the tributaries and main branches have gentle water potential and rich fish.

It can be said that most of the meat supply in the city of Athens is provided by these fishermen. For now, fishing is the backbone of the city of Athens far beyond agriculture. Relying on the rich aquatic fishery, the city of Athens is almost self-sufficient in meat food.

After distributing the weapons, the fishermen went down the river one after another.

Some fishermen who have already harvested will hand in the caught fish, and the port management office will buy them at a uniform price.

After buying the harvested fish, the officials ordered their attendants to pick out the fish that were about the size of a palm and throw them into a small river about 300 meters away from the port. There is a small branch of the Nidolia River, about five meters wide and more than 800 meters long. When the river is not rising, it is a small river, and when the river is rising, it is part of the Nidoria River.

Here is Admiral Barbossa's proposal.

He ordered the soldiers to block most of the entrance of the small river, leaving only a gap less than two meters wide, and then sealed the two sides with fishing nets to form a large natural fish pond. The small fish caught by fishermen in the territory are uniformly thrown here for stocking.

"Go get the high priest." Murphy said to the herald beside him.

But just as the herald took two steps, Murphy seemed to remember something again, and stopped him and said, "Forget it. You don't need to bother the high priest about this matter."

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go and invite General Barbossa, and then mobilize the Spartan heavy fanatic infantry and two teams of Cretan longbowmen from the urban barracks."

"Yes." The herald replied.

After speaking, he took the reins from a general guard knight, got on his horse and rushed towards the inner city.

General Barbossa is in charge of the navy and everything in the territory's ports. At present, the main enemies of the city of Athens are all on land, so although many warships have been built in the port, they are mainly used as merchant ships or escorts for merchant ships. Among the soldiers belonging to the port, only 160 belonged to the navy. They were commanded by Admiral Barbosa to help maintain the safety of the port all the way to the river behind the southern plain.

Generally speaking, the Nidolia River is relatively safe.

Basically on the main pole river, there are no very obvious enemies.

Many large creatures seem to avoid the main river channel with a tacit understanding, and choose to live in the tributaries of the Nidolia River or a certain lake. This phenomenon may be related to the large-scale cleanup of ogre monsters in the Second Era. Because in that era, there were still a lot of very aggressive aquatic monsters. At that time, in order to clear the river and facilitate the communication and trade between various races, no less thought was spent.

Before the arrival of General Barbossa, Murphy opened the strategic map of the "Total War" auxiliary system and re-examined the areas that had been explored.

On the nautical map of the city of Athens, the areas of dispelled darkness are mainly concentrated near the channel of the Nidoria River.

The furthest is extending to the south near the coastline, where a group of half-elfs live. They are a race outside the human world and the elves. Although they have the blood of two kinds of creatures, they are unwilling to integrate into it. either side. Perhaps as a hybrid species, they are not so easily accepted by other creatures.

The main course of the Nidoria River which flows next to the city of Athens is about 300 to 500 meters wide.

About thirty kilometers below the port, another tributary extends from the main river. This tributary flows to the southwest and passes through the territory of the centaur. The river finally flows to a large lake and reaches the junction of the West Sea and the South Sea.

This tributary territory has never been explored.

the reason is simple.

There are - water monsters!

Yes.

It's a water monster.

Murphy didn't know exactly what it was.

However, in the mouths of the aborigines, the large creatures living in such a tributary bifurcation area are called water monsters by them.

According to Murphy's estimation, the water monsters these aborigines spoke of were probably some kind of large aquatic 'monster' left over, or other large aquatic creatures.

These water monsters are very honest, and they are not creatures that like to attack actively.

At least they rarely leave their territory, but those creatures who dare to enter their territory and are bumped by them will be unlucky.

Almost no survivors can come out.

At present, the Territory’s understanding of these water monsters is roughly limited to that they are very large, more than ten meters in size, and there are more than one in number. They are a small group of people. The range of activities is mainly near the delta washed by the river. In the water. We don't know much about the physical characteristics, only that they have limbs and long necks.

Ever since I saw a saber-toothed tiger.

Murphy has always wondered whether the water monsters mentioned by the aborigines are plesiosaurs or creatures similar to plesiosaurs.

It is quite possible.

There must be more than one or two dark scale murlocs coming. Murphy estimates that the number is at least twenty or thirty, and if there are more, there may even be hundreds.

The darkscale murlocs are about 1.45 meters tall, and this size is relatively obvious in the Nidoria River. If there are too many of them, it is impossible for them to pass along the road without being spotted. Because there are passing ships in the port of Athens almost every day.

In fact, Murphy suspected that these dark scale murlocs did not come from the coastline of the mainstream of Nidolia River.

Because the distance is too far.

If not from the mainstream, then the only answer is.

These dark scale murlocs probably arrived here from a tributary through the water monster's hair line.

And the tributary is an area that has not been explored by humans. It is said that it is a concave corner of the continent, not far from the sea.

--------------------------------

After about fifteen minutes.

General Barbossa came with a detachment of Spartan hoplites and two detachments of Cretan longbowmen.

To Murphy's surprise, for some reason, the chief priest of the God of War also came.

"Why are you here?" Murphy asked strangely as he looked at the chief priest of the God of War who brought the seven Spartan conquerors with him.

The man with dark skin like an iron tower glanced around and said in a deep voice, "The high priest asked me to come here."

high priest?

Did she foresee something?

As the spokesperson of the goddess, the high priest seems to have some kind of vague predictive ability. It was like the last time she went to the canyon, she kept insisting that Murphy take her with her. Since the temple was gradually upgraded and the divine power of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was out of danger, the high priest seemed more and more unfathomable.

Sometimes she can even guess very accurately where Murphy is going.

want to do something.

………………

"Since the high priest asked the Priest of the God of War to come over, does that mean that this trip is dangerous?" Murphy frowned slightly, but still ordered the soldiers to go to the port to board the ship.

He had long wanted to explore the other side of the river bank.

In the past, he had been held back by the Jackals, but now it was just about to enter winter, which was the most free time in the territory.

Moreover, he also had a bold guess during his trip.

And for something quite important, even related to the future development of the territory!
