Summoning Total War

Although it only took a few seconds, Murphy was still sweating after the battle.

This bold attempt really made a difference. Otherwise, if the two shadow leopards could successfully exempt him from mental magic, even if he was wearing a piece of chain mail sent by Lady Elizabeth, he would have to do it himself. Suffering serious injuries. Being close to the size of an adult tiger gives these creatures powerful hand-to-hand combat capabilities. Even if the claws cannot penetrate the chainmail, the instantaneous impact force can break several of Murphy's ribs.

"Drag these two bodies over here."

After taking a breath, Murphy ordered the Spartans beside him to drag over the bodies of the two shadow leopards.

Uh-huh!

He pulled out a dagger with a cold light from his waist and disembowelled the two shadow leopard corpses with a very smooth technique. I have to admit that the alchemist is a very technically demanding profession. Not only must he be proficient in the preparation of potions and be familiar with the medicinal properties of many drugs, but he must also have a certain level of sculpture and anatomy. Although he was not very experienced, Murphy was quite skilled in breaking open the two shadow leopard corpses.

The sharp blade cut open the skin and stretched out his hand to pull out the intestines. Soon Murphy found his target smoothly.

——Shadow Leopard’s Gallbladder.

Generally, the magic core of any monster-like creature is usually born in two places. The first is the brain, and the second is the gallbladder.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some aliens have magic cores in other parts, but after all, they are only a minority.

Murphy held the tip of the knife and carefully opened the gallbladder, but he was soon disappointed.

There is no magic core inside.

If it's not in the gallbladder, it's in the brain.

Opening the brains was much more bloody than taking out the gallbladder. Murphy didn't have any suitable weapons, so he summoned the Spartan conquerors and signaled them to crack open the brains of the two shadow leopards.

There were a few crisp sounds, and there was blood-white turbidity on the ground.

Murphy was once again disappointed.

Surprisingly, there isn’t even the magic core he wants in his brain!

"What's going on?" Murphy looked at the corpses of the two shadow leopards on the ground, feeling greatly surprised.

Shouldn't it?

Thinking of this, Murphy couldn't help but take another look at the two bloody shadow leopard corpses on the ground. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said to himself: "Are these two shadow leopards not magical beasts?"

"But they are much more difficult to deal with than other shadow leopards in terms of size and strength!"

Thinking of this, Murphy suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

That is, although these two shadow leopards have begun to mutate, they still have a long way to go before they reach the height of Warcraft.

This is why they were previously unable to save against Murphy's level 1 mind spells.

If they have not mutated for a long time, then there is no doubt that their own mutation should have started after the solar eclipse that started the second elemental tide. In other words, they have just mutated and are not ordinary beasts, but they have not yet reached the height of Warcraft. Under this premise, let’s consider the recent reports of wild beasts attacking humans from various places.

Then we come to a conclusion!

Since such mutant beasts appeared near Athens, there is no doubt that such mutant beasts will also appear in other places.

So……

Thinking of this, Murphy's thoughts suddenly became enlightened.

The beginning of the second elemental tide not only means that the shackles on many intelligent races have been lifted. Similarly, those ordinary beasts also began the process of evolution under the influence of the elemental tide.

But this process should be quite slow.

But the most 'talented' beasts among them will evolve at a mutation-like speed just like the two shadow leopards Murphy encountered today! The ultimate direction of this evolution is undoubtedly the frequently active Warcraft in ancient times!

Thinking of this, Murphy couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "If this is really the case."

"The troubles caused by the mutation of beasts are not limited to Athens and the southern plains!"

………………

"Take a rest where you are!"

After looking at the situation around him, Murphy ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged on a round stone and meditated to restore his magic power. The magic power of a first-level mage is quite limited, and it is only enough to release six first-level spells. Murphy had just cast two first-level stun spells, and previously released a strong acid splash. Almost half of his magic power had been used up now. Thinking that there was still a battle ahead, he decided to meditate and recover before making any plans.

These two are not Warcraft, but the one that escaped before is probably a Warcraft.

After all, whether it was body shape, hair or other characteristics, the one that escaped before looked more like it had successfully advanced.

The recovery speed of a mage's meditation can be fast or slow. Depending on the degree of meditation, the recovery speed of magic power is also different. The deeper you meditate, the less you will perceive the outside world. If you enter a deep state of meditation, your perception of the outside world will be almost cut off.

Under normal circumstances, spellcasters will not enter a deep meditation state unless they are in an absolutely safe environment.

It takes about eight hours for most mages to completely recover the magic power consumed by light.

And Murphy's physique has exceeded the scope of mortal objects under the infusion of the high priest's divine power. It only takes three to four hours for him to recover the magic power that consumes light.

And in both moments, he recovered his magic power faster.

The first one is midnight, which is twelve o'clock in the evening. The second is noon hour, which is twelve o'clock at noon.

During these two periods, he could feel that the recovery speed of his magic power was significantly accelerated.

The sounds coming from all around were gradually blocked, and Murphy's mind fell silent into the perception of his body. His mental power drove the magic power in his body, and absorbed and integrated the free elemental energy from the outside world. The movement of magic power is like a vortex within the body, which generates gravitational force on the outside world while rotating, and then extracts free elemental energy and integrates it into the body under the action of mental power.

Murphy went into meditation.

The chief priest of the God of War raised his head and glanced at Murphy who was meditating, with a troubled expression on his face.

In the previous battle, the Chief Priest of the God of War would not have agreed with him risking his own life. However, Murphy used his identity as Lord of Athens to pressure him, forcing him to agree to the next arrangement. In the view of the Ares Chief Priest, as the governor of Athens and the supreme leader of the territory, Murphy should not put himself in danger at all. Although he agreed with Murphy to improve his strength to ensure safety, this did not mean that he agreed with Murphy using himself as bait to attract a small shadow leopard.

A wild beast attack is just a small matter, even if all the nearby logging camps are destroyed, it is not a big deal.

But if Murphy accidentally gets injured, it will be a big deal!

The head priest of the God of War felt a little headache when he thought that if the lord was injured, he would have to face difficulties from Helen, the priest of love and beauty, after returning to Athens. As the spokesperson of the God of War Kratos in the mortal world, he is not afraid of the high priest, but he is very afraid of the priest of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. As for the reasons, it goes without saying that many people can guess some.

This goddess in charge of sex is not easy to deal with, and her temper is a bit unpredictable.

Thinking of this, the chief priest of the God of War couldn't help but look around.

"Come here, you guys." The chief priest of the God of War glanced at the Lord, who was still meditating and had little awareness of the outside world, and summoned several Spartan warriors who were on guard around him. After whispering to them, the chief priest of the God of War nodded and led the three Spartan conquerors quickly towards the location of the valley. The remaining dozen or so Spartans surrounded Murphy firmly in the middle, looking around with vigilant eyes.

Apparently, the Chief Priest of Ares found a solution to the problem.

Since he couldn't persuade Murphy not to take risks, he would solve the problem in advance!

………………

Half an hour later.

Murphy slowly woke up from his meditation, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he was startled.

The chief priest of the God of War stood in front of him carrying a silver-gray shadow leopard corpse. There were several claw marks on his strong chest, and blood was now oozing out. But he still had that expressionless look on his face, as if these wounds were not on him. The several Spartan conquerors behind him were more or less injured, but their expressions were exactly the same as those of the God of War Priest.

I have to admit that soldiers who have gone through Spartan-style brutal training have a much higher tolerance for pain than ordinary people.

"Mr. Governor, this is what you want." The Chief Priest of the God of War took out a thumb-sized light green crystal from the Shadow Leopard's body, handed it to Murphy, and said respectfully.

This guy actually took advantage of his meditation to hunt down the shadow leopard.

Murphy didn't know whether he should be angry or laughing.

It seems that if you want to practice your fighting ability, you have to wait until the next opportunity. Murphy reached out and took the light green crystal stone handed over by the Chief Priest of the God of War. He closed his eyes and felt the elemental fluctuations on it. He nodded and said, "This is it."

"Now that the problem has been solved, get ready to go back."

The color of the crystal core of Warcraft is a bit like jade, but its shape is multi-faceted rhombus. There are very fine dark red threads on the crystal, and those are the congenital magic marks. Without careful study, after putting away the magic crystal, Murphy ordered the soldiers to rush towards the lumberyard with the bodies of the three shadow leopards.

Meat cannot be wasted.

………………

In the afternoon, Murphy returned to the lumber camp.

After simply handling some matters, he led the soldiers towards Athens. He is now eager to confirm one thing, and that is whether there are such mutated beasts that are difficult for ordinary people to deal with in other places in the southern plains.

Because at this moment he has a very bold idea in his mind, that is!

——Establish a mercenary union!
