Summoning Total War

Chapter 35 Temple (Part 2)

"The gods are omnipotent, but the divine servants are not. Our divine servants can't turn these jackals into loyal hounds, but they can at least make them obedient."

Murphy pondered the meaning of this sentence carefully, thinking secretly whether to use this precious power of faith to strengthen soldiers or to enslave humanoid creatures.

The belief system opened after the temple data was reorganized made Murphy feel a bit like a divine technology tree.

As the temple expanded and the number of believers increased, the power of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, also increased little by little. At the same time, the help she gave to the town was also increasing. This is a mutually beneficial partnership!

Of course, this requires Murphy to pay first and then reap the rewards.

This makes sense.

The temple descriptions provided in the auxiliary system of "Total War" are not very complete, and many things need to be analyzed by Murphy on his own. Deciding which direction to go in is more advantageous.

Just like the biological slavery in the [Divine Power] system, it seems to be very useful, but in fact it requires a lot of conditions.

First, you must capture the gnoll slaves. Then, you must spend the power of faith to obtain [Level 1 Humanoid Slavery—Gnoll] through the Divine Attendant, and you also need a certain number of Attendants. The requirements of these two prerequisites are not low, but the effects are not sure.

"Our divine servants can't turn these gnolls into loyal hounds, but they can at least make them obedient."

What standard can this level of enslavement control reach?

How obedient can you be if you are just a little obedient?

Without testing it himself, Murphy really couldn't deduce the ability effects brought by the [Shenwei] system based on these few words. In fact, according to Murphy's estimation, humanoid slavery should be a development direction where the stronger one's own strength, the stronger the effect. Because only if you are strong enough, can you capture and enslave a sufficient number of jackals without worrying about their counterattack!

If there are only a few hundred gnoll slaves, it is obviously not cost-effective to spend a huge amount of power of faith.

In contrast, Murphy now pays more attention to the [divine grace] in the temple system.

Because the latter can immediately enhance its strength as long as it is invested!

However, the gift of divine power seems to consume a lot of resources. Murphy has only accumulated a little more than 2,000 points of faith power over such a long period of time. To strengthen a soldier requires 100 points per person, and it is the lowest level of strengthening.

At the same time, the strengthened object also needs to have certain combat experience and be determined!

Putting it all together, the requirements are actually not low.

Presumably only those soldiers in the territory who have experienced battles with jackals and have been reorganized and have considerable combat experience are qualified.

Which aspect should be strengthened?

Murphy thought for a while and finally decided to try the divine power first!

The first targets he included in his options were the eleven surviving Spartan hoplites!

Because of the holy water, the Spartan hoplites who survived recovered from their injuries quickly. Due to dissatisfaction with the establishment, there were only eleven people, so Murphy had been arranging them in the military camp to coordinate training with other soldiers during this period.

Due to the insufficient territorial level, it is quite difficult to replenish Spartan heavy infantry!

At least for now, it is difficult to replace the lost personnel.

For the establishment of eleven people, if one person has one hundred points, the total would be eleven hundred points, which consumes about half of the power of faith.

Everything is still within the range that Murphy can bear.

Therefore, Murphy did not hesitate to order the surviving Spartan heavy infantry to be gathered at the temple, and then arranged for the high priest to perform a divine grace ceremony for the eleven surviving Spartan heavy infantry!

He wants to bring the combat effectiveness of these Spartans one step closer!

He is indeed the most perfect soldier.

Less than two minutes after Murphy's order was issued, the eleven surviving Spartan heavy infantrymen had already lined up in full gear and rushed to the door of the temple. Their resolute faces all bear a scar, which they carved with their own daggers. This is to commemorate General Hamilton, the general who fought with them at the front, and also represents their hatred for the Jackals. !

The process of the divine grace ceremony was not complicated. The high priest chanted ancient rituals and sprinkled the holy water in front of the statue little by little on the bodies of these Spartan heavy infantry warriors. Then, a faint layer of white light emerged. Under the influence of the War Priest, the white light turned into a hazy blood-red color, and finally completely integrated into the bodies of the Spartan heavy infantry. The warriors who were blessed with power appeared stronger and more energetic. They moved their muscles and bones to adapt to the new power, and they couldn't help but praise and marvel at the gods!

After presiding over the divine grace ceremony, the high priest's face turned slightly pale, and her delicate body swayed, as if she was about to fall.

But fortunately, she was discovered by Murphy who was beside her and helped her first.

"Are you okay?" Murphy's face was full of concern at this moment, because the high priest looked really haggard now, as if he had been drained of a lot of energy.

"Fortunately..." The high priest's face turned red and he struggled to get out of Murphy's arms. But she obviously couldn't do it due to excessive energy consumption. She could hardly even raise her hand now.

"Because I'm not skilled, the process of guiding the divine grace ceremony took too long. Now I'm just a little weak." The high priest motioned to Murphy to loosen his right hand from around her slender waist, but Murphy refused at all. Pay attention. He touched the high priest's forehead with his hand, and then wiped the sweat off her face. He didn't care that the person in his arms was already slightly angry. After everything was done, he just took the high priest who was covered with red clouds. He handed it over to the newly minted priest on the side.

"Have a good rest." Murphy looked very natural, and his attitude actually made the high priest feel like he wanted to bite but couldn't.

While the Spartan heavy infantry were adapting to their new strength, Murphy also reviewed the last piece of data from the temple system.

Heroic Spirit: 1/12.

Position: Hamilton-Spartan (four-star general)

Enshrinement of heroic spirits: Spend 20,000 points of faith power to transform heroic spirits into fighting spirits. The fighting spirit has mysterious power!

Next level: War spirit enshrinement, war spirit blessing.

Heroic spirit?

War spirit blessing?

What's this? Are the souls of heroic victims granted new life by the gods?

A mysterious power?

What power?

Murphy had countless questions in his mind, but without accumulating enough power of faith, he could only keep these doubts in his heart.

The only thing he can be sure of at present is that his future development must rely on the power of gods!

And the two will be interdependent and inseparable!

Just when Murphy was trying his best to calculate, there was a 'ding' sound, and the sound of the auxiliary system also sounded in his ears.

"Spartan Heavy Infantry promoted to Spartan Heavy Fanatic Warriors!"

"Combat effectiveness data re-simulated statistics!"

Class: Spartan Heavy Armored Zealot Warrior

Number of recruitment rounds: (0)

Description: Super elite! Be disciplined! Very strong! Even in their fanatical state, these Spartan soldiers did not forget discipline and cooperation! They are the most perfect warriors! It's the enemy's nightmare!

Spartan heavily armored zealots abandon some of their traditional fighting methods.

They were heavily armored, and in addition to their spears and a round shield, they also carried a two-foot two-handed sword.

The only drawback to these fearsome warriors is that they become extremely weak when their frenzy wears off.

The troop size is 300 people?

Murphy was slightly startled when he saw this!

Is this the prototype of the Spartan 300?

However, it seems that the Spartan 300 in my memory is indeed a fanatical warrior worthy of the name!
