Summoning Total War

Chapter 112 The last mountain giant! (middle)

This is a magnificent era. Although it has only just begun to show its prominence, the turbulent atmosphere of the era is echoing across the earth!

………………

After the initial chaos, a new order gradually began to be established in the southern plains.

The hobgoblin kobolds who moved closer to humans in various places were wiped out by the army, but after being wiped out several times, these goblin kobolds also learned their lesson. They hid in the deep mountains and old forests, or hid in the mountains when the army attacked. Normally, they would come out in groups and attack passing caravans. Although these goblins and kobolds had no way of threatening the town, their presence seriously disturbed the local order, especially obstructing the roads, which forced the lords of various places to station their troops everywhere for passive defense.

And those large bandit groups composed of hobgoblins and remaining gnolls were active in the areas connected to the southern wilderness, frequently attacking villages and towns everywhere, causing a lot of trouble for the noble council.

The progress of the eradication gradually reached a deadlock after these goblin kobolds became masters.

Finally, more than a month later, the current situation was formed, that is, the mountain forest areas between various cities were occupied by numerous scattered gathering places of other creatures, large and small. These creatures hid in the mountains and forests when the army came, but in normal times He also likes to run out and loot passing caravans, which really annoys nobles everywhere! In the end, there was really no other way. They could only gather some troops at some important intersections and turning points, and then regularly clean up the nearby kobold gathering places. After all, they don't have the strategic map annotation of the "Total War" auxiliary system like Murphy. As long as the Goblin Kobold is still within his territory, it will be marked on the strategic map page.

This phenomenon is getting worse and worse, but in the end it is helpless.

In the end, merchants had to recruit a team of mercenaries to escort them along the way every time they went out. This has greatly increased the cost of commercial transactions in various places, and indirectly led to rising prices throughout the southern plains. But fortunately, only commodities from various places have increased. Materials such as grain have not increased much, and pork, mutton and the like have not changed much.

Thinking about it this way, it is much better than the Middle-earth in the previous life!

After more than a month of suppression, the pattern of the southern plains has undergone a new change. At present, nobles everywhere have the ability to clean up other races moving around the farmland to ensure that there will be no problems with this year's farming. But further afield, there was nothing they could do. In such an era, even if a lord had a thousand square kilometers of land, he could not actually use that much. The distance between towns and villages in various places was not small, coupled with the lack of population and mountains and forests, etc. In other areas, things are even more troublesome.

In such an era, it is normal for the land to be vast and sparsely populated.

These places are not comparable to Athens. Next to Athens is the Nidoria River. All the surrounding land is suitable for farming, so the population is quite dense.

But this is not the case in other places. With the troops in the hands of local lords, it is not easy to clean up the areas around the towns to ensure farming this year. As for getting through other creatures entrenched along the road and eradicating those bandits hiding in the old forests of the mountains, that is definitely not a simple matter. With the current manpower and material resources, it may be quite difficult.

For these other creatures that flowed into the southern plains and entrenched themselves in the mountains and forests.

After the initial chaos, the human city-states could only clean up the nearby ones first and leave the others alone. When it really doesn't work, we send out troops to fight them.

September 5th, morning.

This was the beginning of a shock to the entire continent, and it was also a turning point in the changes of the times!

This day, in the southern wilderness.

A terrible coercion gathered over this land, and the huge momentum even spread to the adjacent southern plains. Countless birds and beasts were paralyzed on the ground, not daring to move at all. But on this day, all the human troops stationed at the edge of the wilderness felt as if a huge stone was weighing on their hearts, and even breathing was extremely difficult! They looked into the depths of the wilderness in horror, not knowing what terrible thing had appeared there!

At noon, with a dragon roar that echoed across the earth, twelve adult black dragons soared into the sky. They flapped their huge wings that were twenty-five meters long, dragging their huge dragon bodies and soaring in the sky of the southern wilderness!

The figures of these pure-blood dragons cover the sky, and the astonishing power they carry sweeps across the earth!

The giant dragons roared, and the dragon wings flapped to stir up gusts of wind. They soared from the northern corner of the southern wilderness to the edge of the plain area, and just when these black dragons were about to fly into the sky over the southern plain.

Northwest land.

Where the barbarian humans lived, a dazzling golden light pillar suddenly burst out from a high cliff, and then, an earth-shaking roar sounded! Amidst this earth-shattering roar, more than 200,000 barbarian humans knelt on the ground devoutly, and on the altar dedicated to the ancient hero [The Roarer] - Hegor, a majestic figure condensed with golden light slowly slowly Slow shaping!

Holding a giant ax in his hand, he looked up to the sky and roared!

The radiance of divinity is scattered in the altar, and the majestic golden body contains primitive and wild power. The will that reaches deep into the soul affects humans throughout the southern plains.

Almost in an instant, the intimidation brought by the dragon disappeared!

When the figure of the ancient hero [Roaring] Hegor appeared over the southern plains, a golden light also rose in two other places within the human territory. Although these two rays of light are not as dazzling as before, and the condensed bodies of the ancient heroes do not appear, everyone knows what this represents!

——[Knight of Truth]-Charles, [Hand of Justice]-Caesar!

Three golden rays of light formed a tripod, and finally converged over the entire southern plain, falling like rays of brilliance on this land. However, in a remote corner called Athens, there was no such golden light. In other words, the light that represented divinity had already dissipated before it fell, disappearing without a trace.

Twelve adult black dragons are hovering at the edge of the southern wilderness, but they dare not step even half a step into the plain!

In the end, these black dragons could only let out an unwilling roar and soared around the southern wilderness area again, but they never passed through the sky of the southern plains again. They flew in circles around the southern wilderness, and the thunderous roar of the dragons echoed throughout the land. These black dragons from the dark underground are announcing to the world that the 200,000 square kilometers of land in the southern wilderness has now officially become their territory!

this day.

Countless people in the human city-state rushed to tell each other, and the priests stood on the high platform in the central square and announced a news with great excitement.

After thousands of years, the soul of the ancestors finally woke up from its slumber!

………………

The Emerald Dream, the territory of the high elves.

A slender figure sat quietly on the branch of a huge golden oak tree more than thirty meters high. She looked far away at the southern plain. The big tree in the sky obscured her figure, bringing a touch of green in the hot summer. shade. A little black cat in her arms was sleeping soundly with its head buried on her round and plump chest, as if it was not sleeping peacefully. From time to time, it would use its little paws to shrug the soft spot on its head.

"Naughty!"

The slender and graceful figure flicked the little black cat's head gently with his fingers, and then said slowly: "I didn't expect that three demigods would suddenly appear in the human race!"

The golden oak tree shook slightly, and then an old voice echoed.

"Demigods already exist!"

"Humans have been preparing for thousands of years to have their own gods! The second elemental tide just woke them up in advance. Their purpose is not just demigods, but I don't know if the gods of other races are willing to have new births. The human gods share their power and strength! If they want to truly ascend to the altar, the road is definitely more difficult than they imagined! Their bodies have long since decayed and turned into dust. It would be difficult, very difficult for just the souls of demigods. …”

“May wisdom be with them!”

………………

Mud Swamp, a piece of land adjacent to the half-elves, is located in the southeast corner of the southern plain, covering an area of ​​about 50,000 square kilometers. This is a tropical rainforest-type area that was once the active territory of the lizard people. However, these lizardmen are now very few in number, and they did not avoid the catastrophe of the previous era like other creatures. After the traces of the lizardmen gradually disappeared, the people now active in this swamp became kobolds, jackals and bugbears. The latter is a variant of the hobgoblin, with a strong body and a height of more than two and a half meters. Their faces It looks like a bear. It is greedy, evil, and cruel. It is a very difficult creature to deal with.

In addition to these, there are also a large number of very dangerous creatures hidden in the swamps and rainforests. Even in the depths of the Mud Swamp, there is still a kind of monster from the previous era!

- Basilisk!

A very dangerous creature that can be said to be a terrifying creature that no one should approach. The areas where they move are forbidden areas for other creatures.

But I don’t know since when, lizard people began to appear in the mud swamp again. These creatures that gradually disappeared in the previous era have become active again, and batches of them emerge from the mud swamp. Came out from the depths. However, after thousands of years, this land no longer belongs to them. They must first defeat the gnolls and bugbears entrenched here before they can regain the land.

It was when these lizardmen reappeared that the rangers sent by the half-elves into the depths of the swamp to investigate brought back very bad news!

Deep in the mud swamp, they saw one of the legendary creatures that had become extinct in the previous era.

——Nydra!

These monsters that lived in the Age of Giants seem to have been extinct thousands of years ago.

But I don’t know why, they reappeared in the eyes of the world. What these lizardmen worship is the oldest nine-headed monster, Radesh, the ultimate nine-headed monster that is said to have killed and eaten many giants and was eventually destroyed by the Titans themselves. From the mouths of the half-elf rangers who escaped, everyone learned that there were several nine-headed monsters like this entrenched in the depths of the Mud Swamp!

September 6th. Athens.

The news passed back through the mercenary union was more shocking than the last, and Murphy's visits to the Temple of Leadership became more and more frequent during this time.

The high priest was still sleeping, and she slept peacefully. The radiance of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, shines in the Temple of Leadership, and her power begins to recover after falling into a deep sleep. With the increase in the number of believers in Athens, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is now close to reaching the level of medium divine power. If she successfully returns to medium power, Athens will have two gods with medium power!

Before the white dragon in the Karazhan Mountains was dealt with, more than a dozen pure-blooded adult black dragons appeared next door in the southern plains.

Although they are still far apart now, it should still be the people in the Noble Council who have a headache over this.

But Murphy must admit that he is under a lot of pressure at this time.

Because this stormy atmosphere like the great era made him feel very heavy. Although he has only received news from the southern wilderness and half-elves, it seems that other places, such as the territory of the dwarves, the half-orcs The gathering place, the territory of the Orc Empire, the Yunzhong Mountains where the giants live, etc., may not be too peaceful.

It's just that he has no way to learn so much information now.

Soldier against soldier, against general!

Whether dealing with the emerging lizardmen or other underground races, Murphy is sure to fight a dozen with the powerful combat power of the Spartan warriors. But when facing things like giant dragons and hydras that are far beyond the scope of ordinary creatures and can be considered legendary creatures, he really has no confidence at all! Currently, the strongest warrior in the territory of Athens is the Chief Priest of the God of War. With his ability, he can kill a Karazhan Hurricane Pterosaur, but he is unable to kill a real pure-blood dragon.

Facing these legendary creatures that emerged with the beginning of the second elemental tide, Murphy had to turn his attention elsewhere.
