Summoning Total War

Chapter 37 Massacre (Part 2)

There are always inevitable deviations in plans, and these deviations need to be manually corrected back on the right track.

It is a very good idea to use personal gain to attract slave traders and folk adventurers to hunt gnolls, but once action is taken, many problems are exposed one by one.

The most prominent problem is that the weapons at the hands of these slave traders and adventurers are only as good as those of female gnolls!

Even if the combat effectiveness is lower, the losses will be heavier than that of the jackals.

As we all know, most of the armed forces in the hands of slave traders come from mercenaries and civilian adventurers. The fighting power of these people is not as strong as stated in the story, at least there are very few powerful aliens among them!

As long as a mercenary with strong fighting ability has a clean background, he can easily obtain an official position in the army without having to mix among the mercenaries.

As for the adventurers, unless this trade can attract a strong multi-racial team that ignores the map tiles as the adventure area, otherwise it is just those human adventurers who use the southern plains as the adventure area, which is not worth having much expectation at all. Most of their members are poor knights or civilian swordsmen, and their combat effectiveness is no better than the elite gladiators in the hands of slave traders!

In fact, what Murphy does is not that complicated.

The gnoll slave trade ushered in a period of indifference because it was difficult to capture. After a period of capture, the slave traders discovered that this cunning and ferocious creature was not so easy to deal with! They often need two to three people to take down a gnoll without damage! And once this kind of creature fights back desperately, the losses it will cause to itself will be considerable!

In the end, they found that the price and rewards they paid were not so happy.

As a result, the initial enthusiasm caused by the high remuneration gradually cooled down.

And what Murphy wants to do now is to make the slowly cooling hearts of the slave traders become eager again!

Through Lady Elizabeth's help, Murphy reached a cooperation with the slave merchants who first came to the town and were supported by the noble council. In fact, it was this group of slave traders backed by the Council of Nobles who initially touted the opportunity for the Gnoll slave trade. They are part of the plan to start this craze!

Now, the town urgently needs to capture or kill a group of gnolls to inspire confidence in others!

Murphy has been silently observing these slave traders, learning about the civilization progress of the world's indigenous people through them, and calculating the gap between their combat effectiveness and the urban army! He found that the combat effectiveness of humans in this world was not that strong, and the low-end force composition still maintained a balance. At least that kind of supernatural power, he has only seen it in one person so far.

Murphy still remembers the scene!

It was raining heavily that day, and he met a special group of visitors at the town port.

Lady Elizabeth was by his side at the time, and both noticed the arrival of this group of outsiders.

The number of this group of people was approximately one hundred and fifty, all of which were made up of adult males. They were equipped with weapons and leather armor, and seemed to have received certain military training. Obviously, this is also a group of people attracted by interests.

The leader is a big man about two meters tall with towering muscles. His chest and arms are painted with white paint. Unlike other aborigines, this group of people has a more wild atmosphere, and their hair is all spread out. , a rather weird hairstyle is formed in the middle like a braid. The skin color is a little darker than the others, and the shape is somewhat similar to that of Indians and African natives!

But for such a group of people, when Murphy saw them, his retinas actually showed the same changes as when he was in the temple!

Murphy saw the gray fog surrounding these people!

And next to the leading man, there is a special pattern composed of gray and white silk threads!

The pattern looks a bit like a wolf, but it's not clear.

"They are the Pusaians, living in the jungle bordering the wilderness to the north of the plain. Their people are all hunters, and nearly half of the kobold slaves in the entire human city-state are from their handiwork!" Because he knows that Murphy has a lot of knowledge about the kobold slaves. These people were not familiar with them, so Mrs. Elizabeth took the initiative to introduce them: "It seems that our plan went very smoothly, and even they were attracted."

Psiah?

One of the races in this world?

It seems a little different from other humans in the southern plains?

"Do they worship wolves?" Murphy suddenly asked thoughtfully, looking at the group of cold and sturdy Psiahs.

"Why do you ask?" There was a surprised expression on Mrs. Elizabeth's face. After thinking about it, she said uncertainly: "It seems that all barbarians have the habit of worshiping wolves. But I am not a Pusayan." Not sure."

"If they really worship something, then I think it should be their ancestors!" Mrs. Elizabeth pointed to the white mark on the leader's chest and said slowly: "It is said that the ancestors of the Psiah people are from ancient times. One of the heroes of mankind! They often shout before battle, for the glory of their ancestors!"

For the glory of our ancestors?

Murphy was silent.

In fact, he discovered a problem during this time!

He found that humans throughout the southern plains did not seem to have a unified belief. In other words, humans in this world have not gathered under one belief!

Moreover, Murphy also discovered that the vast majority of the gods believed by these aborigines are elves and gods!

There are even some barbarians who believe in orc gods!

Even wild beasts!

what does that mean?

Didn’t the humans in this world give birth to their own gods?

Murphy frowned slightly and stared at the group of Psiahs from a distance. The different feelings they gave Murphy seemed to be brought about by their faith.

If he remembered correctly.

Almost all gods started from the original ancestor worship!

The history of the development of human civilization in the southern plains is less than two thousand years. Compared with the history of orcs and elves, which is far more than six thousand years, it is not too strange that there has not been a unified belief.

But there isn’t even a human god, so this seems to be a bit of a problem?

Even if it follows the evolution of ancestor worship and ancestor sacrifice, there will eventually be a group of gods that belong to humans and are believed in, right?

Could it be!

Are there other secrets hidden in this?

This conjecture reminded Murphy of some more serious problems and made him feel a little uneasy.
