Summoning Total War

(This is the second update today, to make up for yesterday’s update. If I’m not busy tomorrow, there will be two more updates to make up for the day before yesterday.)

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

"Mr. Governor, you are back." As soon as he returned to the Consul's Mansion, the herald came up quickly and held the reins for Murphy.

"Yeah." Murphy nodded, raised his hand to straighten his clothes that were a little messy from galloping, and asked, "How are the bugbear slaves doing?"

"Lord Leo Dallie has temporarily detained them in the military camp, and the priests of the temple are preparing for the ceremony." The herald replied.

Preparing for a ceremony?

That's good, Murphy is worried that there are too many temples and they will be unable to cope with it.

"Mr. Governor! What a magnificent horse!" At this time, the herald discovered that the horse Murphy was riding today was not the tall brown horse in the past, but a pure black horse with no stray hairs. mount. This horse with pure black fur is more than two and a half meters tall, much taller than other horses. It has strong limbs, fat body and an extraordinary look.

"This is a gift from the centaur chief. It's called Black Shadow." Murphy smiled, raised his hand and caressed the horse's neck, and Black Shadow rubbed against him affectionately.

Since you have given a gift, there will naturally be a gift in return.

In the Middle Earth, it was called "reciprocity", but now the centaur family really doesn't have any reciprocal gifts. So the centaur chief simply asked Murphy to pick a new mount among the horses. After a quick selection, Murphy chose this one. Because this horse looks different and seems a bit unruly, but it suits Murphy very well, because it looks like a war-fighting horse at first glance!

………………

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Murphy first took a comfortable hot bath, then changed into clean clothes and headed towards the Temple of Leadership.

The Leadership Temple was upgraded to the Leadership Giant Temple more than a month ago. According to Murphy's calculations, the progress should be almost complete now, and the expansion should basically be completed. Now that the Temple of Leadership has been expanded and upgraded to the Giant Temple of Leadership, it is necessary to further improve the divine power of Athens, the goddess of wisdom.

Murphy, the power of faith accumulated by the temple in the past six months, has almost remained intact, and now it is all used to increase the divine power [Slavery of Humanoid Creatures].

Because the high priest hasn't woken up yet, many things in the leadership temple have to be handled by Murphy himself. And because the War Temple has the Chief Priest of the God of War, everything is handled properly without Murphy having to worry about anything. The upgrade of the War Temple to the Giant War Temple was half a month slower than the Leadership Temple due to previous financial constraints. According to Murphy's estimation, the expansion of the War Temple should be almost completed.

After the Temple of Leadership was upgraded to a giant temple, no new divine power or grace appeared. It is estimated that no new special functions would appear until Athens was upgraded to a giant city and the Temple of Leadership was further expanded and turned into a Pantheon of Leadership. .

However, after the War Temple was upgraded to the War Giant Temple, a new special unit and a new ability were added.

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

※※※※※※※※※※※※

Temple: Temple of War

Level: Giant Temple [Progress 76%]. (Note: Magnificent temples can always gain the respect of mortals, increasing the chance of gaining followers.)

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

Next level: Add a fifth-level magical gift. After upgrading to the [Pantheon of War], you can train elite indigenous soldiers into Spartan warriors, consuming a lot of power of faith. 【Notice! 】

(Upgrade conditions: 24,000 believers.)

Note: This temple is dedicated to Kratos, the God of War and Conquest! Kratos, God of War, is a true Spartan who is able to train other soldiers of the Greek civilization into Spartan warriors! Kratos is a Spartan who replaces Ares as the new Olympian God of War in the distant future!

※※※※※※※※※※※※

Divine Favor: War Priesthood.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

New special unit recruitment has been added to the Temple of War:

——[Spartan God of War Guards], 300 men, heavy infantry, high morale, abundant physical strength, high-speed running, unyielding will, talent for war songs, gift of divine power, protection of the God of War, divine bloodline [not activated]. (Note: The Spartan God of War Guards must be trained by Spartan warriors with five stars or above, and the God of War Priest must personally perform the divine grace ceremony, which requires a lot of faith. 3000/1 person.)

………………

——[Spartan War Hymn]

"wake up!

Greek boy!

The glorious moment has arrived!

To imitate our ancestors,

Descendants who deserve to be heroes!

…………

wake up!

The fighting spirit of Sparta!

How can you fall asleep?

With your old friend Athens,

Join forces to form an invincible army!

Call Leonidas back——

…………

He led three hundred warriors!

In battle, always stand tall!

Like a mighty and invincible lion,

Drowning in a sea of ​​blood.

…………

wake up!

Greek boy!

Swing your arms to face the enemy!

Let their blood stink!

Like a river flowing under your feet!

………”

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

The Spartan Ares Guards are powerful, but they consume too many resources.

Only 3,000 Faith Power can be used to perform a divine grace ceremony for a Spartan warrior, and it must be presided over by the Chief Priest of the God of War. Currently, the War Temple has accumulated only 120,000 Faith Power in almost a year, which is simply not enough to invest on such a large scale. of consumption. Moreover, the requirements for upgrading to become the Spartan God of War Guard are too harsh. They must be warriors above five stars (combat level).

At present, the elite soldiers like Athens only have a dozen or twenty soldiers in full force. If one of them is pulled out, he can be regarded as a captain of thousands!

Perhaps only after integrating the entire human city-state and having a large population as a source of faith, Murphy could be able to withstand such a consumption of faith.

………………

Make your way to the Temple of Leadership.

There is a busy scene in the temple, because Murphy has captured a large number of bugbear slaves, and the priests who lead the temple have also become busy. The divine power ceremony cannot be completed by simple prayers, but also requires a large number of Auxiliary supplies, because these divine abilities involve a lot of mental magic, which requires the priests to arrange a suitable venue for the ceremony.

Every priest of the gods has certain attainments in mental magic.

Because the high priest is sleeping, and without the high priest to preside over the ceremony, they need to prepare more things.

Murphy slowly walked into the leadership temple and immediately turned on the "Total War" auxiliary system.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

Temple: Temple of Leadership

Level: Giant Temple [Progress 96%].

Deity: Athena (medium power)

Priesthood: Wisdom (enabled), War (enabled), Peace, Fertility (enabled), Craftsmanship

Temple faith: 324000/1000000 (the upper limit of faith power)

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

Divine Favor: War Priesthood.

【Divine Power Grant】:

[Level 1 Divine Power Grant - Fanaticism]: This divine power grant allows soldiers to temporarily ignore pain and burst out with more powerful combat power!

[Second Level Divine Power Grant—Unyielding]: This divine power gift can make soldiers have stronger fighting spirit when facing death!

Divine Favor: Fertility Priesthood.

【Harvest Area】:

[Level 2 Harvest Field]; This is a gift from the goddess. It can keep farmers away from diseases, prevent crop yields from being reduced due to diseases, and allow crops to obtain better harvests.

Divine Power: Wisdom Priesthood.

[Biological Slavery]: This is the leadership wisdom belonging to Athena, the goddess of wisdom. She teaches believers how to enslave other humanoid creatures. The effect of enslavement is determined by the priesthood and divine power. (A divine attendant is required to preside over the divine power ceremony.)

[Level 1 Humanoid Slavery—Gnoll]:...

[Level 1 Humanoid Slavery—Goblin]:...

[Level 1 Humanoid Slavery—Kobold]:...

(Part of the data will not be listed anymore. I will only mention the temple’s current divine grace and divine power.)

………………

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

Since the Temple of Leadership has not been completely completed, Divine Power [Biological Slavery] has not yet been upgraded. Unlike Divine Favor, the level increase of Divine Power requires the consumption of the power of faith.

To put it simply, divine grace gradually increases with the upgrade of the temple, while divine power is increased by the number of believers and the power of faith.

Compared with the War Temple, the accumulation of faith power in the Leadership Temple is obviously much richer.

The faith of Kratos, the god of war, is mainly concentrated on warriors, but the faith of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, has spread to the entire territory, so the accumulation of power of faith is much higher than that of the Temple of War!

In more than a year, there were more than 300,000 people with the power of faith, all of which were accumulated through the daily prayers of devout believers.

Looking at the data on the "Total War" auxiliary system, Murphy activated the Power of Faith infusion option on the Divine Power ability.

"Ding! The power of faith is injected! Divine power: Wisdom Priesthood is activated... Wisdom Priesthood's reproductive ability... [Biological Slavery] level increases..."

"Ding! New divine power is introduced... The power of faith injection mode is activated... 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%..."

"Ding! The level of Divine Power [Biological Slavery] has increased!"

"Ding! This increase in divine power consumes 215,700 power of faith..."

After the new Divine Power ability was improved, several new options began to appear behind Divine Power [Biological Slavery] in the "Total War" auxiliary system.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

Divine Power: Wisdom Priesthood.

[Biological Slavery]:...data omitted...

.........[Level 1 Humanoid Slavery] Data omitted...

[Level 2 Humanoid Slavery—Hobgoblin]:...

[Level 2 Humanoid Slavery—Bearbug]:...

[Level 2 Humanoid Slavery—Steel-Handbanded Gnoll (Advanced Gnoll)]:...

[Level 2 Humanoid Slavery—Steel Boar Man (not yet available)]:...

In addition, there is also a divine power coverage area shown as inactive below, possibly because the level of the leadership temple or the amount of power of faith is not enough.

[Level 3 Humanoid Slavery—Ogre (inactive)]:...

………………

Note: Humanoid enslavement must be a species that has not established civilization before it can be enslaved. The species that built civilization cannot be enslaved.

*************************************************** ************************************************

After upgrading the divine power to [Level 2 Humanoid Slavery], Murphy doesn't need to worry about the rest.

The priests leading the temple will take care of the rest.

The weather began to turn into late autumn. Due to the infusion of bugbear slaves, the expansion of Athens into a big city began to accelerate. The shipyard has been built and new ships have been launched into the river. They are just waiting for the fish to return next month to harvest a harvest. Good harvest!

The expansion of the military camp is half completed, and the construction of the catapult (catapult) in the catapult range has begun.

There is a busy scene inside the forge. With the help of apprentices, the blacksmiths are rushing to make the equipment needed for the armored cavalry. The light cavalry troops originally recruited are also selecting outstanding talents to be incorporated into the soon-to-be-established armored cavalry regiment. middle. The lord said that this heavy cavalry regiment must be the best of the best, and only the best warriors can be selected!

The number of Spartan warriors has increased to 600, and the Greek hoplites have undergone the second stage of dressing. Their armor has been added to the more primitive strip plate armor (Basic Alchemy).

The arcane education in the University of Athens has entered a formal stage, and five or six people with awakened talents have reached the level of magic apprentices.

The two masters are high-spirited and full of belief that they will revive the glory of arcane magic again!

Time passes day by day.

Athens' power is also growing day by day!
