Summoning Total War

In "Goblin Alchemy", the Earth Crystal Diamond is hailed as the core energy of the second alchemical revolution. It was precisely because of the discovery of this gem containing huge energy that the Goblin clan built a glorious steel tower. City. Otherwise, with their innately deficient magical abilities, they may not be able to support the operation of a city with a high energy level.

It was precisely because of the emergence of the Earth Crystal Diamond that the goblin clan had the ambition to build a floating city.

They wanted to recreate the magical glory of the previous era in their own hands, but unfortunately, according to the records of the goblin alchemist, several experiments on the floating city failed. Although the Earth Crystal Diamond can provide enough energy to allow cities to fly into the air, it is a pity that the goblins cannot fully grasp and utilize this huge energy.

The goblin alchemist that Murphy saw broke through the plane crystal wall and came to this world because of a big explosion during the experiment.

The elemental core is the inheritance of the mountain giants, and it also contains part of the knowledge and memories left by the mountain giants to future generations. While Murphy was interpreting the core of the elements, he also absorbed this knowledge into his mind. This method of inheritance is a bit like dragons, because most dragons are born with knowledge, and they have already mastered a lot of knowledge when they are still in the dragon eggs.

This seems to be an innate advantage carried in the bloodline inheritance of higher species.

According to the knowledge of the mountain giants, it was not that difficult to cross planes in the last era.

Because after the surge of the elemental tide gradually stabilizes, the powerful energy contained in the plane crystal wall will be partially neutralized by the surge of the elemental tide. That is to say, when the elemental tide begins and gradually stabilizes, the energy between the many planes will The restraints will gradually begin to weaken. In the last era, no matter the glorious era when the Titans ruled, or the glorious era when arcane mages established the human empire, there were many powerful individuals traveling across planes.

The powerful arcane masters who established the floating city in the human empire are even more happy to do this.

There is a lot of complicated information and many connections, but Murphy has just begun to explore magic.

The only thing he knew was that the evil power that threatened the entire plane in the mountain giant's memory obviously did not refer to the creatures living in the dark realm. Because although the creatures living in the dark realm are generally stronger than the races on the earth, they are not yet unable to resist. After all, there are some powerful demigods and even gods standing behind each race.

What Murphy wants to know now is how long it takes from the beginning of the elemental tide to the stabilization of the elemental tide.

Is it ten years or a hundred years?

Unfortunately, no one can tell him the answer now. The high priest may know something, but she is still asleep.

………………

Murphy was a little confused by the huge amount of knowledge from the mountain giants in his mind. If the caster hadn't been born with strong mental power, and if so many things had been absorbed into the mind of an ordinary person, he would have already lost consciousness. ?

This kind of tricky knowledge inheritance also has quite a few drawbacks, because many spellcasters have become insane because of this.

His head was dizzy and his energy was a little sluggish. After the initial excitement period, Murphy just wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

Then I'll look for some useful information from "Goblin Alchemy" to see if I can find any clues about the Earth Crystal Diamond. Because this gem was not on the goblin alchemist's body, it was obvious where it was stored.

There were many people on both sides of the road, their faces slightly uneasy and agitated. Obviously yesterday's sudden earthquake made them worried, but the spiritual comfort of the temple priests was still of some use. At least everything has been restored now. Under the arrangements of General Jerry Rivard, many operations of the Athens port have also been Just the rules.

Although he was not in good spirits, Murphy still went to the Consul's Palace before going back.

"Mr. Governor! You are back." In the Consul's Mansion, General Jerry Rivard's expression was not very good either. When he saw Murphy coming in, he couldn't help but send a piece of information from the mercenary union to Murphy with a solemn expression.

Murphy frowned slightly and reached out to take the document handed over by General Jerry Rivard.

His eyes only glanced at the first line of words, and Murphy's face immediately became gloomy. By the time he read the entire document, there was already uncontrollable anger on his face.

Only one day!

There have actually been a lot of rumors about Athens elsewhere.

Rumor has it that Athens suffered an earthquake that was rare in hundreds of years because it was disliked by the gods.

Among these rumors, there were even attacks on Murphy's moral character. Rumors said that he was greedy and lustful, and that all the maids in the mansion were beautiful. Not only that, he often held unobstructed meetings with the maids in the mansion. If that were all, it would be fine. Rumors actually said that he had a special interest in non-human races.

Just a mermaid.

Murphy dared to take responsibility, but these rumors actually vividly connected him with the centaur priest Milun.

not only!

These rumors also said that the reason why Athens was able to form an alliance with the Centaurs and obtain the support of the Centaurs in the battle between the Orcs was precisely because Murphy conquered the beautiful Centaur priest Milun.

But there was also a section of the rumor that made Murphy dumbfounded.

Because after the rumor came, it was obviously beyond the control of the mastermind behind the scenes. Later, the rumor actually evolved into speculation about Murphy's sexual ability, as well as various exaggerated legends. Some people even think that Murphy has a dick as powerful as a donkey that can conquer females of any race! And a persistence that would put any male to shame!

………………

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

Although these rumors cannot shake Athens' current reputation among mankind, there is no doubt that some people are not willing to see the rise of Athens, and deliberately use this matter to smear Murphy!

no doubt!

These rumors did affect Murphy's glorious image. In addition to leading the Athenian army to win victory after victory, they also attached many negative virtues to him. But also because of this, Murphy's personal popularity has actually surpassed that of the entire Athens. According to the speed at which these erotic rumors spread, it won't be long before Murphy becomes a household name!

"The wise does not buy rumours."

Murphy took a deep breath, and then his expression returned to its original state, and he said slowly: "They just want to smear my reputation."

"With real power, these are just tricks that won't work on the stage!"

After saying that, Murphy led the guards around him and walked towards the outside of the Consul's Palace. It's hard to really clarify this kind of thing, and Murphy doesn't want to clarify anything.

Because there is no need.

Now that underground passages connecting the Underdark appeared in Athens, there is no doubt that similar passages will appear elsewhere in the southern plains.

At that time, earthquakes will also occur in places where underground passages appear.

By that time, the rumors would naturally be self-defeating. And this level of smearing is not to the extent that Murphy needs to go to great lengths to prove anything. Moreover, he also wanted to know who was working against him behind the scenes!

Murphy got on his horse, and a group of general guards escorted him towards the inner city of Athens.

"Who would do this? Is it the entire noble council that is secretly controlling it? Or is it the three Grand Dukes? Or is it one of them?"

Murphy tapped the reins with his index finger, guessing in his mind.

Just when Murphy and his party arrived at the port trading area and were about to walk out.

Sudden!

An adventurer wearing a large gray and black cloak seemed to be approaching the team intentionally or unintentionally. The general guards guarding Murphy noticed this with great vigilance. The two general guards walking on the right looked at each other and then walked towards the gray-black figure that was approaching.

"Stop!" The older guard with a full beard said in a deep voice.

Not only did the black figure not stop after hearing the sound, but he ran quickly towards Murphy in the center of the team!

At this time, the two general guards had clearly understood that the adventurer in front of them had evil intentions. They shouted to the opposing team, and then drew out the long swords at their waists, preparing to stop the assassin. Upon hearing the shouts, the surrounding general guards immediately surrounded Murphy, using their bodies to surround every corner that could attack Murphy.

Although swords are not allowed in the port of Athens, any weapons of the nature of bows and crossbows will be strictly searched and confiscated. People carrying these weapons must first hand them over to the escort after entering the port, and then they can take them back when leaving. Otherwise, anyone who secretly carries these weapons into the port of Athens will be identified as an assassin!

The movement around him woke up Murphy, who was deep in thought. At this time, the security team responsible for maintaining security in the trade area also rushed over after hearing the movement.

To the east and west, two Greek heavy infantry squads of twenty men pushed through the crowd and ran towards Murphy's position. During the advance, they also sent one person to notify the guard captain in charge of port security.

Because they don't know how many assassins there are.

The figure wearing a gray and black cloak was approaching quickly. His steps were very regular. Each step was maintained at a small distance of about thirty centimeters. However, the speed of advancement was very fast. It was obvious that it was not something that ordinary adventurers could master. of.

The two general bodyguards faced the rapidly approaching figure from left to right as if facing a formidable enemy.

Uh-huh!

A sharp sword light suddenly appeared!

The approaching gray figure suddenly bowed and jumped after closing the distance to five meters. This jump was a full five meters away! Before the two general guards could react, the assassin in a gray and black cloak had already approached them.

The sword suddenly appeared!

Two human heads flew into the air, and the blood spurted out in an instant was more than three meters high.

Exclamations from passers-by suddenly came from all around, and the passing businessmen immediately fled in both directions after discovering the abnormality here.

This knife immediately made Murphy's pupils shrink suddenly when he reacted. He raised his hand and cast a [Stun Technique] towards the assassin who continued to approach quickly after killing the two general guards. Cutting off the head with one knife is not an easy task. It requires not only sufficient strength, but also high skills. Moreover, the assassin also cut off two heads in an instant. This strength and skill are probably not weaker than those of the Spartan conquerors!

The stun technique hit the target instantly, but his steps didn't stop at all.

The assassin in a gray cloak directly used his strong will to avoid Murphy's magic. As he quickly approached, he turned his backhand, and another blade with a cold light appeared in his hand.

Double sword!

A fighting skill that is very rare among humans and quite difficult to master!

The assassin with the two swords in hand did not hesitate at all. He jumped and pounced on Murphy like a vicious wolf that chooses people to eat. At this moment, the general guards guarding Murphy also came forward to greet him. Although the enemy was very powerful, these personal guards who had experienced several wars with Murphy did not hesitate at all and stood in front of Murphy even if they risked their lives.

Uh-huh!

The sword suddenly appeared, and two more heads flew up.

This time, Murphy finally saw clearly the movements of the assassin at the moment of his attack. The moment he swung the sword, a blood-red light visible to the naked eye actually appeared on his blade. These blood-red rays of light allowed the double blades in his hands to easily cut off the twenty-seven forged steel swords worn by the general's guards, and then cut off the head of the enemy in front of him!

What ability is this? !

Murphy suddenly had countless questions in his mind.

The distance is getting closer again.

With the belief that he would die, the assassin desperately broke through the first line of defense formed by the general's guards and approached ten meters in front of Murphy. As a price, the assassin had three deep wounds on his back, and the blood spurting out instantly dyed his cloak red.

Although he possesses strange abilities, the assassin's body is still mortal.

The ordinary leather armor he wore was not enough to defend against the general's bodyguard's combat power, which far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers. The sharp sword cut through the leather armor, leaving several more wounds on the assassin's body.

After the distance was shortened, the assassin suddenly abandoned the long knife in his left hand, and then took out an extremely delicate hand crossbow from under his wide cloak!

A sharp arrow shot out!

Taking advantage of the hole in the defense, the assassin hit Murphy's heart very accurately.

An arrow hit, and the seriously injured assassin immediately prepared to break out of the siege. But before he could react, Murphy, who was shot in the heart by a sharp arrow, jumped off the horse without caring.

Sonorous!

Murphy pulled out the long sword from his waist and moved towards the assassin in front of him step by step.

The crossbow arrow that hit his heart also swayed up and down as he moved, revealing a silver-white metallic luster under his torn clothes.

"Who sent you to assassinate me?"

At this moment, Murphy's face was extremely gloomy, with a killing intent that was so strong that it could not be dispelled.

The broad cloak covered the assassin's face, and Murphy only saw a pair of ferocious eyes, like a wounded wolf!

The assassin with murderous intent in his eyes completely ignored the enemy behind him, and jumped up again, leaping several meters away and slashing at Murphy in front of him!

Sonorous!

Swords clash, sparks burst out!

In the assassin's incredulous eyes, Murphy easily raised his sword to stop the long knife he was attacking, then clenched his fist with his left hand and punched out fiercely!

There was a "bump" and a muffled sound of the gun hitting.

The assassin's body instantly arched into a shrimp, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. In the abdomen where Murphy had hit him, the assassin's back spine bulged strangely under the powerful force.

Letting go of the assassin who was as limp as mud and with eyes blurred, Murphy raised his hand and pulled off his cloak.

After more than a year of brutal Spartan training and desperate fights on the battlefield, Murphy had long been honed into a qualified warrior in the war. After receiving the infusion of divine power from the high priest, his physical quality underwent a qualitative change. Although as the lord of Athens, he did not have many real opportunities to take action, this could not cover up the fact that he was already capable of fighting against the God of War Priest!

From the Jackal War to the Orc War, Murphy's real strength is not that he only has two levels of magic ability.

It was the Spartan-style cruel training that he had conducted over and over again under the divine healing power of the high priest for more than a year! Perhaps his ability is not enough to face a terrifying existence like the Chief Priest of the God of War, but this does not mean that he will be easily killed by an ordinary assassin!

"Master Governor, he is dead." The guard captain on the side checked the assassin's body and said.

The force of Murphy's punch penetrated the assassin's abdomen, and then hit his spine. The spine was dislocated under the powerful force, and almost all the nerves attached to it were broken. By the time Murphy put him down, he had almost stopped breathing.

At this moment, Murphy's face was extremely gloomy. He casually pulled out the crossbow bolt stuck in the chainmail, and then squatted down to look at the assassin's body. The general's guards were vigilantly observing the left and right, protecting Murphy in the middle, and carefully carrying the other assassins.

The battle lasted less than two minutes from start to end, and it was only then that the security team from the Athens port arrived.

"Your Majesty the Governor! Are you okay?" General Jerry Rivard also rushed over at this time. He quickly came to Murphy and said.

Murphy didn't speak, just nodded.

The ability used by the assassin just now was a blood-red light visible to the naked eye for an instant. This power gave Murphy some bad guesses, but he had no way to confirm it yet.

He raised his hand and tore off the assassin's clothes. There were dense scars on the body.

Looking at these scars, Murphy couldn't help but frowned.

There are hundreds of scars on it, and the large and small scars make the assassin's body look extremely hideous. Even the veterans of Athens who have gone through the most wars may not have so many wounds on their bodies.

Who in this world has so many scars on his body?

Murphy turned the assassin's wrist over and saw an "M"-shaped logo branded on it with a soldering iron.

An answer is about to come out!

--Gladiator!

Only these gladiators who have been fighting on the line of life and death all year round have so many scars on their bodies.

If Murphy remembers correctly, the 'm'-shaped logo on the assassin's wrist represents a name, that is - Carmona Gladiator!

Of course, they have another, more widely known name.

——[Death Gladiator]!

………………

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

"Your Majesty the Governor?" General Jerry Rivard looked at Murphy, who had a gloomy face and said nothing, and asked carefully.

Murphy glanced at him, then stood up. He stared at the corpses of the general's guards, and said in a deep voice to the guard captain beside him: "Give them a good burial!"

Immediately, he looked at General Jerry Rivard in front of him and said, "Spread the news that I was assassinated."

After saying that, he headed towards the Governor's Mansion without looking back.

If Murphy read it correctly, the ability used by the assassin just now should be a 'qi'-like ability similar to that possessed by the orc sword master. It is an ability that can only be produced through cruel training and iron will. Among humans, only the barbarians have mastered this ability, and they only stay at the level of imitation.

This ability of the gladiator is obviously not something that can be exercised.

If Murphy guessed correctly, the ability used by the assassin is 'awakened'. And the awakening time is not long, it should be within these few months!

As a death gladiator who fights on the line of life and death all year round, his will and desire are undoubtedly countless times stronger than ordinary people.

And just like those beasts that were the first to evolve towards Warcraft, the Carmona Gladiators, who were powerful and outstanding individuals among humans and had been on the verge of death countless times, were also the first to begin the process of evolution.

This process can be called ‘awakening’!

Human beings who could only use physical power originally, after the elemental tide began, some people who had experienced life and death fights were gradually able to unconsciously mobilize part of the elemental energy!

The nature of this energy is different from that mobilized by the caster, but it is more subtle and explosive.

Because these elemental energies are integrated into the body by them, only when they are used will the elemental brilliance visible to the naked eye appear for a moment.

If Murphy is not mistaken, then under the tide of elements, the first people to change are the Carmona Gladiators, who are wandering on the line of life and death, and then the soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles, and then the people who have experienced A large number of adventurer mercenaries who fought, then canonized knights with innate knowledge, and others who had experienced life and death battles. Finally, perhaps it is ordinary soldiers. As for those who have not experienced combat, I am afraid that the changes that have occurred under the elemental tide are quite limited.

At least it won't happen in a short time.

"Human evolution has begun." Murphy murmured.

How will the pattern of human city-states in the southern plains change under the tide of elements?
