Summoning Total War

Chapter 58: Trophies!

(In the leap month of the lunar calendar, dragon boats have been launched into the river one after another. This year, I actually saw a dragon boat with a black flag, which means I haven’t seen it in many years. Those who know more about these traditional customs should have heard of it. As the saying goes, "one black and two yellow", almost every time a dragon boat with a black flag appears, this year's Dragon Boat Festival will not be too peaceful. In other words, the pagoda really wants to eat rice dumplings.)

Why did Kratos, the God of War, come in person?

Why did Rose Tyrande, Moonwalker, say those profound words at the end?

Murphy couldn't quite figure it out for a while, but he was certain that this time the incarnation of the God of War Kratos came to the Chief Priest of the God of War in person, it was not just because of the appearance of a high-level demon, but more importantly The reason is probably related to the Moonwalker in front of me and the goddess of life that the high elves believe in. His appearance seems to be a statement, indicating that the gods of Olympus will stand on the same front as the goddess of life when facing the threat of the abyss.

This war is over.

Although there was blood everywhere on the ground, the corpses of former companions were still lying beside them, broken swords, broken leather armor, and the traces left by the battle made everyone feel heavy, but at this moment of victory, people still couldn't bear to There was a burst of cheers

Victory

it is finally over.

This tragic war that lasted for nearly half a year finally came to a successful end today.

The Lizardmen's army had collapsed, and peace and tranquility returned to this land. Although too much blood and tears were left behind, they finally won.

At this moment of victory, all the efforts and rewards are worth it.

………………

"It's over." Murphy shook his head and smiled.

Although the army brought by Athens also suffered nearly half of the casualties, it was all worth it. Because this war won Athens a stronger and more reliable ally than the centaurs, and that was the half-elf. After this tragic fight, the relationship between Athens and the half-elves in the "Total War" auxiliary system has reached the level of seven stars, far beyond the point of friendship.

"Clean up the battlefield." Murphy seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and a huge boulder that had been weighing on his heart fell.

This man who had been standing tall on the battlefield, standing as straight as a flagpole, just sat down on the blood-stained soil. No one knew how much pressure Murphy was under, and no one knew what he had done to maintain absolute calm on the battlefield. In fact, from the moment he decided to aid the half-elf to the first encounter with the lizardman, Murphy's spirit remained in a highly concentrated state.

Once he relaxed now, he even felt a little exhausted.

but

The habit he had maintained all this time still made Murphy, who had just fallen down, get up again.

He walked towards the body of the high-level demon Florentus, preparing to see if there were any trophies of astonishing value on this demon. This high-level demon was able to cross planes and descend to the main material world. Obviously, it was not an ordinary existence in the abyss. It was at least a lord-level demon. So there should be some good things in it.

The strange texture of the armor is actually the same dark green color as Hellfire, with devil's inscriptions engraved on it. This full-body armor probably weighs nearly 500 kilograms, and is simply not something ordinary creatures can equip. Murphy waved his hand to summon a few Spartan warriors, and after a lot of effort, he peeled off the armor from the demon. The armor itself contains elemental fluctuations, and is obviously forged from a magical metal far beyond this world. Murphy plans to take it back and let the two masters study it, and maybe they can find something.

The double-edged weapon used by high-level demons weighs about 300 kilograms. The surface of the weapon is lavender, with a series of demonic words carved in the middle. When activated, the entire weapon will be wrapped in flames.

However, with the death of the high-level demon who used it, the weapon has now returned to peace.

"Is this all there is?" Murphy rummaged around with some persistence. A high-level demon from the abyss, a high-level demon who could stand with twelve black dragons regardless of victory or defeat, only had this little bit of it. thing?

Not possible?

Then it is really too poor.

"You only have this little thing on your body and you still have the nerve to say that you are the future demon king." Murphy kicked the demon corpse hard and summoned a team of soldiers with a wave of his hand, ready to move the demon corpse back directly. . "Originally, if you had some rare treasures on your body, I wouldn't use you as a trophy. But you are so poor, no wonder I tore your bones and skinned you."

Demon's blood is an important spellcasting material, and its use to record arcane texts can improve the success rate of magic scrolls. Devil's Fang can be embedded in the staff as an amplification of negative elemental energy. The Devil's Eye has the effect of the 'Eye of True Seeing' and can see through all darkness and fog. Demon Wings are a very rare flying medium that can allow ordinary people to fly into the air with just a little blessing. Demon's skin can be used to make first-class leather armor, and demon's bones can be ground into powder as an alchemy material. Although ordinary people cannot eat demon's flesh, some creatures may not mind.

As for the pair of horns on the devil's head, although Murphy has not yet thought of a specific use, he decided that it would be good to hang it in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.

After fully conceiving in my mind how to use this demon corpse effectively and without waste.

Murphy suddenly discovered that where the body was lifted, there was a small gray translucent diamond-shaped fragment. It looked a bit like crystal, but it seemed as if there was a layer of mist surging inside. Out of curiosity, Murphy reached out and picked up the light gray translucent diamond-shaped fragment. However, as soon as he picked up the object, the "Total War" auxiliary system made a prompt sound quickly.

"Ding found unknown strange objects, the auxiliary system is autonomously scanning..."

"The energy content of the target object is too high and the auxiliary system cannot scan it...the passive search program is activated...the power of Olympus is imported..."

"The scanning process was interrupted and the energy of the target increased significantly again... The three-pole alert program was activated... The power of faith in the temple was automatically extracted..."

………………

As a series of "Total War" auxiliary system prompts sounded, the power of faith on the temple page began to be consumed rapidly. Previously, the chief priest of the God of War used the divine descending ritual to consume nearly 100,000 power of faith, but after the auxiliary system started scanning, , the remaining 120,000 faith powers are also being consumed rapidly. As time went by, the power of faith in the temple became less and less. Athens accumulated more and more, and in the end, there were only less than 2,000 power of faith left.

At this time, the auxiliary system also sounded the system prompt tone again.

"Ding target data scanning completed."

Murphy looked at the accumulated faith that had become empty, and was speechless for a moment. First, half of it was consumed by the divine descent ceremony, and now the other half was used up because of scanning this weird thing, leaving only less than two thousand faiths. The power could not even sustain the Spartan transformation of Athens this month. At least until the next month, Athens will be able to continue to use divine grace rituals to strengthen the Spartan warriors.

What exactly is this?

Murphy opened the data page of the "Total War" auxiliary system and carefully observed the light gray translucent diamond-shaped fragment.

"Broken Godhead [1/12]: This fragment of Godhead is condensed from the soul of the high-level demon Florentus. It is a high-level demon from the seventh layer of the abyss. It rules an area to the north of the seventh layer of the abyss. It covers an area of ​​1,250,000 square kilometers. In the most chaotic era of the last era, it fought with demigods from many planes. After the demigods killed by it fell, part of the godhead was swallowed and absorbed by it, and transformed into Part of its soul. (This piece of godhead possesses incredible power and can be exchanged for divine favor by dedicating it to any temple)."

At the end of these words, there is a row of small words.

——"But its role is not just that, it is a shortcut for mortals to the kingdom of gods"

Murphy was shocked

Even his hand holding the translucent crystal was trembling.

He almost quickly put the inconspicuous-looking rhombus crystal away, and then looked around like a thief. It's not that he is too nervous, but the value of this thing is so amazing that it may be something that cannot be measured by material things. Now Murphy finally understands why the legendary heroes and sages can move at such an astonishing speed. He has grown rapidly and in just a few years has surpassed the nearly half-life hard work of others.

In legends, the rise of heroes and sages almost always happened after they luckily defeated a powerful demon.

Then these legendary beings either became apostles of a certain god, gained powerful power under the grace of God, or their strength increased by leaps and bounds, almost immediately entering the realm of legend.

Murphy initially thought that they had awakened amazing talents that could defy the heavens under the elemental tide.

But now it seems that this may not be the case alone.

If Murphy guessed correctly, the rise of those legendary heroes and sages is probably related to this thing in his hand.

However, how to use this thing?

………………

"What should I do with Mr. Murphy's Hydra?"

Just when Murphy had a headache because of the astonishingly valuable trophies he found on the high-level demon but didn't know how to use, a high-level priest of the moon goddess Elune came to him and asked respectfully.

The previous ceremony of the arrival of the God of War Kratos has obviously been seen by everyone, and such a miracle is simply impossible for an ordinary demigod or heroic spirit to do. Obviously, this means that there was a real god behind Athens, and the legend that Athens was blessed by the so-called Olympian gods may not be nonsense. This made these priests of the moon god Elune suddenly feel more in awe of Murphy.

Hydra?

Yes, there is another trophy here.

When he thought that there was a swamp hydra on the battlefield waiting for him to collect the loot, Murphy no longer wanted to think about how to use the fragment of the godhead. Instead, he took the high-level priest of the Moon God and turned around and rushed towards the position of the hydra. As a prehistoric beast that is comparable to a giant dragon, although it may not have the hobby of collecting wealth like a giant dragon, it should still have many valuable and valuable things on its body.

However, once Murphy got there, he realized something was wrong.

"Huh? It's not dead yet?" Murphy looked at the dying swamp hydra in front of him, but it had not really died.

The ancient war tree also suffered a lot of injuries in the previous battle, and now the natural druids are extracting the essence of plants to repair its wounds. The two-headed chimera has been hovering in mid-air, with its two huge heads staring at the swamp hydra crawling on the ground. As long as it makes any movement, Murphy can guarantee that the two-headed chimera will pounce down. Get rid of its remaining head.

I have to say that the vitality of prehistoric behemoths like the Mire Hydra is really tenacious.

There are nine heads, three large and six small, seven of which have been scrapped. There were only two heads left, one big and one small. The big one was seriously injured. One of the heads of the two-headed chimera bit the thick cervical vertebrae hard, and the wound was torn off. Hundreds of kilograms of skin and flesh, and pale bones can already be seen. However, despite being so seriously injured, the swamp hydra still managed to survive.

"Sir Murphy, it has given up resistance. How should we deal with it?" A high-level wild druid came to Murphy's side, pointed at the swamp hydra, which was weak but still alive, and said.

"Give up resistance?" Murphy asked with a strange look on his face, "You mean it surrendered?"

"Surrender? Yes, you can say that." The high-level wild druid nodded and said something in dragon language to the seriously injured swamp hydra that was dying.

Then, the weak-breathing swamp hydra struggled to get up and laid its only movable head at Murphy's feet.

How is this going?

Murphy kicked the swamp hydra in the head, but it didn't make any movement, it just crawled obediently.

"Huh? There is such a weird thing," Murphy said in wonder as he walked around the only intact head of the Mire Hydra. This swamp hydra, which has been around for a short time, has obviously been born with wisdom. It actually knows how to surrender when it cannot be defeated and cannot escape. It really makes Murphy feel a little surprised. It is a pity that creatures like hydra only have the ability to surrender. He can speak dragon language and lizard language, but Murphy neither knows lizard language, nor knows much about dragon language, and there is no way to ask it personally.

Dragon Language is a language subject that only high-level mages can study in depth. Murphy can understand a few simple words of Dragon Language, but it is difficult for him to speak it himself.

Because Dragon Language is the same as High Elf Language, it itself is similar to a spell.

How to deal with it?

Murphy also felt a little troubled at this moment.

Kill?

It would be a shame to kill him.

Besides, it has already surrendered. If it can be killed directly, those half-elves will not come looking for it.

These wild druids are relatively old-fashioned beings. Although they are strong in combat, their ideas are somewhat solidified. Apparently they also believe that since the Mire Hydra has surrendered, it should not be killed. It is estimated that these wild druids didn't know how to deal with this swamp hydra, so they invited Murphy over. Besides, from Murphy's point of view, killing him would be too wasteful.

Let go?

This is even more impossible

If such a prehistoric beast were released outside, I don’t know how many creatures would suffer.

But how to deal with it?

Murphy frowned and thought hard for a long time, and suddenly an astonishing idea popped into his head.

In the arcane school, every mage apprentice will learn a very common skill after advancing, which is [Summoning Demon Pet]. In fact, it is said that it is a magic pet, and what is summoned is just some ordinary beasts, and it may even be some kittens and puppies. High-level mages may be able to enslave some magical creatures, but apprentices who have just advanced cannot do so. Therefore, the function of the [Summon Demon Pet] spell is to sign a contract with an ordinary beast to make them smarter and help the mage.

The most common ones are kittens and puppies, followed by birds such as owls and white doves.

Before using the spell [Summoning Demon Pet], many mage apprentices signed contracts with the small animals they kept in captivity. Because in the realm of the soul, even enslaving a wild cheetah is quite dangerous for a junior mage.

There is no other reason than to suppress the natural instinct of wildness

but.

If the enslaved creature is voluntary, then as long as the caster's soul can bear the weight of the contract, there is no danger in the whole process, let alone mental suppression to make the creature who signed the contract surrender.

Murphy's idea is simple.

I just wanted to see if I could turn this swamp hydra into a familiar that signed a slavery contract with him. His mental power has always been very strong, and he might not be able to suppress a terrifying creature like the swamp hydra, but he could carry the contract. The weight is still no problem. As long as the contract is signed, his spiritual mark will be left in the soul of the Mire Hydra, and everything else will be simple.

If the Mire Hydra voluntarily accepts the contract of [Summoning Demon Pet], it means that it has truly surrendered. Once the contract is signed, its life and death are entirely under Murphy's control.

But if the Mire Hydra is unwilling to sign the contract, the problem will be easier to solve.

Just kill him directly

Murphy doesn't have to worry about how to deal with it yet.
