Summoning Total War

Chapter 114 Underground creatures attack! (superior)

A golden species-level battle is going on deep in the Karazhan Mountains, and Athens, which is affected at the moment, is also in a mess.

Although the earthquake lasted only less than three minutes, the violent shaking still caused the collapse of more than ten buildings in Athens, and the marble sculptures erected in the city became topsy-turvy under the earthquake, and some even It had broken directly into two halves. But for some reason, the leadership temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and other temples in Athens were not affected by the earthquake, or the earthquake had no way of affecting the temple at all. Even the several statues of gods erected in the central square were not damaged at all.

now.

Murphy was standing in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion full of doubts, walking back and forth anxiously. Although this sudden earthquake did not cause any irreparable damage because the houses of this era were not high, it did cause many casualties. The earthquake came so fast that many people had no time to run out. Many people were buried alive in the ruins during the earthquake. Fortunately, there were many civil structures in Athens, except for some who were unlucky enough to be hit. of. Most of the others were slightly injured, and they only needed to be treated by the priests of the temple.

The damage caused by the earthquake was secondary, but the negative impact it caused was the real headache for Murphy.

This is a primitive era.

It is also an era of ignorance.

In such an era, natural disasters such as earthquakes can easily cause some messy troubles. If your opponent gets a hold of this, it will undoubtedly be a big trouble. Although it cannot shake the foundation of Athens, it will indirectly affect Murphy's reputation to a large extent. The southern plains are not an earthquake-prone area, and an earthquake may only occur every few hundred years. Therefore, in such a relatively primitive and ignorant era, if someone is willing to take advantage of this earthquake and add some rumors to add fuel to the flames, it is likely to be rumored as a 'divine punishment'.

I believe that many people in the Noble Council are now happy to discredit Athens. After all, the prestige of Athens and Murphy, which is now booming, has begun to keep pace with them.

This is not what they want to see.

About a quarter of an hour later.

"Your Majesty the Governor." The war priest quickly walked into the hall with a stern face and said to Murphy: "This earthquake happened too suddenly. It is obviously not the result of natural evolution. It is probably a man-made thing, so I The Lord will not be aware of it at all.”

"Man-made?" Murphy was stunned when he heard this, and a very strange thought came to his mind.

Can earthquakes be man-made?

The chief priest of the God of War nodded and continued: "There are residual energy fluctuations underground, which are very strong! It is probably caused by some powerful creatures."

"It's a pity that my lord's domain is war and killing. If he were a high priest, he might be able to predict something."

High priest?

Murphy couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, because he inherited part of the godhood of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the high priest is still sleeping until now, with no intention of waking up. He doesn't know when the high priest will wake up, but the high priest once said that the more powerful the gods are, the greater the constraints they will be. Presumably, Athena, the goddess of wisdom who is still a low-level god, will not sleep for too long. How long?

The high priest fell into a deep sleep, and Murphy was missing an important helper when dealing with many things.

Murphy looked at the chief priest of the God of War in front of him, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Can you sense the center point from which energy radiates outward?"

"You can try it."

The God of War Priest slowly closed his eyes, and then in Murphy's retina, the blood-red light he saw last time appeared again, and a powerful force with a ray of divine aura also appeared in the form of the God of War Priest. Starting from the center and radiating outward. About half a minute later, the Chief Priest of the God of War slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Murphy in front of him with a little doubt in his eyes, and said: "The power fluctuations came from inside the Karazhan Mountains. The white dragon’s lair is very close!”

White dragon?

Murphy couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. Could it be that this earthquake was caused by the white dragon?

If this is really the case, it would be a big problem.

As if thinking of something, Murphy looked at the chief priest of the God of War in front of him and asked: "If you face that white dragon, what are your chances of winning?"

Murphy now understands a little bit.

People like the Chief Priest of the God of War are a bit like the chosen ones in the previous DND games. Although they are still mortal, they can use a little power of the gods. If converted to the standards of this world, it would be a golden species level combat power. Although it does not reach the standard of a giant dragon, it is definitely an existence beyond ordinary things.

"Seven points." The chief priest of the God of War was shocked when he heard this, and then a golden light flashed in his pupils, and he said in a deep voice.

A seven-point chance of winning?

Murphy slowly closed his eyes after hearing this.

really!

After the power of the God of War Kratos stabilized at medium power, as his spokesperson in the mortal world, the power of the Chief Priest of the God of War also increased. If Murphy remembered correctly, the chief priest of the God of War did not have much confidence in defeating the white dragon last time.

As if he had made up his mind, Murphy opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Gather the Spartan conquerors, let's go to the scene of the incident!"

If this earthquake is really caused by man.

If I don’t go and see Murphy, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to sleep peacefully, because this distance is really too close to Athens!

"Yes!" The chief priest of the God of War took the order and left.

………………

Five minutes later, twenty-four Spartan conquerors and the chief priest of the God of War gathered at the door of the Governor's Palace. And this time, for some unknown reason, Helen, the chief priest of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, also insisted on going with Murphy.

This time, Murphy didn't have much confidence in his heart. One more person would give him more strength, so he agreed to accompany her.

There are a total of twenty-seven people in the team, which can almost be said to include the highest combat power in Athens at this stage! With a full complement of Spartan conquerors and two chief priests of the Olympus gods, this lineup can give it a try even if it really wants to slay a dragon! But for some reason, while going to the Karazhan Mountains to investigate, Murphy felt a hint of uneasiness in his heart.

A straight line distance of eighty kilometers.

But in fact, Murphy and his party did not enter the depths of the Karazhan Mountains until the next morning.

The surrounding vegetation is lush and green, and big trees more than ten meters high can be seen everywhere. The dense branches and trunks block the sunlight, leaving only mottled silhouettes on the ground. The area around the Karazhan Mountains is full of primeval forests, with lush weeds as high as the knees. In addition, the bushes blocking the road need to be cleared along the way. Murphy and his party move forward very slowly.

The horses were left outside, and Murphy and his party simply brought some dry food.

At about noon, the group of people walked out of the dense forest. As they walked out of the forest, the lush vegetation along the road began to decrease, and many bare rocks could be seen around them. Some of the rocks even had flames burned on them. There were traces of scorch, and a towering mountain peak in the distance began to appear in front of everyone's eyes. This place is already within the territory of the white dragon. Since it moved to the Karazhan Mountains, all intelligent species and animals living nearby have basically disappeared. Some of the gnoll tribes that were entrenched here before have almost disappeared without a trace. !

"Mr. Governor! What do you think this is?" The chief priest of the God of War who was walking in front leaned down to pick something up from the ground, then quickly came to Murphy and said.

Twenty-four Spartan conquerors were guarding Murphy on the left rear. They looked around with vigilant eyes. Their hands had been on the hilt of their swords since they entered here, ready for battle at any time. Helen, the chief priest of the God of Love and Beauty, has been walking side by side with Murphy. I don't know if she felt the same thing. She seemed a little uneasy like Murphy along the way.

"What's this?"

Murphy reached out and took what the Chief Priest of the God of War handed over. It was a black scale, about the size of a thumbnail, with a slight metallic sheen, and a very hard texture, with a trace of dark red hanging on the corners. of blood.

Murphy looked at the black scales in his hand, and the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.

If such a scale appeared elsewhere, it would be nothing. But appearing in the territory of a white dragon is really weird! And looking at the trace of blood left on it, it seems that it wasn't left there for too long. White dragons obviously don't have such black scales, so there is no doubt that they are left over from another creature!

As the group of people gradually went deeper, some strange footprints began to appear on the ground. These footprints were relatively large. Judging from the marks, they seemed to be left by some kind of creature with three claws. The number of these creatures is not small, and the direction of the footprints is exactly to the east of the forest where Murphy came.

The deeper he went, the harder it was to conceal the shocked expression on Murphy's face.

In fact, even the face of the chief priest of the God of War now has an expression of disbelief. He tried several times to stop Murphy from going deeper, but in the end he was defeated by Murphy's curiosity. Because at this moment, in addition to the uneasiness in Murphy's heart, he also felt something calling him dimly, and the intuition deep in his heart told him that he should continue walking.

As the group gradually went deeper, huge pits began to appear on the ground. These pits were all made by huge rocks with a diameter of more than three meters and a weight in tons.

Huge pits one after another!

It’s hard to imagine what kind of creature could possess such terrifying power! It was actually possible to use these boulders weighing more than ten tons to create so many dents in the ground!

Soon, the group saw something.

Because they found that the mountain peak in front seemed to be moving, and the mountain looked like a meditating giant.
