Chapter 576: Chapter 327: Activating the War God Chessboard_1

Everyone knew that the Dwarfs had the War God’s Chessboard, a magical relic built by the God of Forging. It had the ability to simulate various war scenarios, a miracle used for war ga strategy and tactics.

Anyone who enters the relic and gets injured or killed, is imdiately unhard once the war ga ends. Not only can battle experience be racked up, but the war ga also has a playback function wherein one can grow rapidly by watching the playback and summarizing experiences gained and lost.

It was a divine artifact for any commander, allowing them to gain experience at a low cost. If they had to rely on actual battles to gain experience, the costs and consequences would be too severe; many talented commanders could be killed on the battlefield before they could rise through the ranks.

However, what no one knew was that the War God’s Chessboard could no longer be activated.

“The War God’s Chessboard hasn’t been able to start since a thousand years ago. My grandfather was in power then. He took my father into the War God’s Chessboard. By the ti I had grown up though, the Chessboard couldn’t be activated, and I’ve never even seen a replay.” Copper Hamr guided the way forward while speaking in a muffled voice.”

Ange and Anthony followed behind him, trailed by a team of twelve Thunder Guards, the Dwarf King’s royal guard.

Ange curiously observed them. Due to his encounters with the drunken dwarfs, he now had a basic understanding of the dwarf race.

Compared to Copper Beard, these Thunder Guards were much taller, each one reaching one ter sixty, about the sa as Copper Beard after his Berserking.

According to Copper Beard’s description, dwarfs could grow taller only after their bloodline had awakened. Evidently, these Thunder Guards had awakened their bloodline powers.

But compared to their height, their equipnt was even richer. Sturdy, heavy armor, large duel axes carried on their backs, round shields on their arms, unknown equipnt and small axes around their waist, horns on their helts, spikes on their shoulders, and padding that was barely visible. They were ard to the teeth.

The equipnt weighed perhaps around two to three hundred pounds, which was heavier than their own body weight, yet they moved nimbly and flexibly, not affected by the weight.

Besides their equipnt, a piece of ‘Thunder’ was embedded on the position of their chest armor, slowly emitting a glow. Miniature sparks would occasionally flash across it, and Ange could sense a ‘fecund’ aroma on it.

Whenever lightning occurred in the wildlands, the air would fill with a certain scent. Although Ange could not sll this scent, he could feel sothing different infused into the air. When it fell on the fields, the crops would grow more robust.

If it were beans, their roots would fix these elents into the soil. Even in the following year, when other crops were planted, they would also grow more robust. This was the ‘fecud’ aroma.

Seeing Ange stare intently at the ‘Thunder’, Copper Hamr said: “Is Lord Anthony interested in the Heart of Thunder? Hey, you, show it to Lord Anthony.”

The na of Ascetic Monk An had been spread throughout the entire universe after the disaster relief of the believers of the Goddess of Harvest. All upper echelons were curious about this suddenly appearing powerful ascetic monk.

Unfortunately, the monk’s system was independent of the entire Church of Light. Nobody could get more information, including Guliani. The curia simply didn’t have a record of the ascetic monks.

However, this was perfectly reasonable. The Shepherd of God only needed God’s recognition. Was it necessary to register with the Shepherd’s Guild?

The pure holy power on Ange was the best proof. Even Guliani couldn’t doubt it. Especially after this recent incident where he appeased the disaster-stricken people by kneading bread, and then judged so instigators with Original Sin Shackles, Ascetic Monk An was not just an ascetic monk, but was fully qualified to compete with Anthony, Dyson, and others for the papal election.

All the data that could be collected was put on Copper Hamr’s table early on. In order to establish a good relationship with this mysterious ascetic monk, Copper Hamr was very happy to showcase the Dwarfs’ pride, the Heart of Thunder.

This was a magic equipnt forged by the God of Forging, possessing the powerful Thunder Power.

The chief Thunder Guard slapped the Heart of Thunder forcefully, and with a click, the Heart of Thunder radiated brightly.

The guard who activated the Heart of Thunder stomped hard, and electric sparks burst out from his soles, propelling him into the air as if aided by a push. He jumped and drew out his dual axes in midair.

Electric flashes exploded from his body, and the Thunder Power was channeled into dual axes. He first swung down creating an electric flash that struck a roadside statue.

Next, the guard hefted his dual axes, descending from the sky. A surge of electricity gathered on the axe blade and struck the statue in a thunderous display. The statue was smashed to powder by what looked like a giant hamr made of thunder and lightning.

“Clap clap clap.” Anthony quickly applauded, while Ange icked his head.

Copper Hamr ran over and gave a swift kick to the buttocks of the Thunder Guard, who was still maintaining his cool pose, and roared: “Why are you smashing a statue when I asked you to show it off?! That statue has been around for hundreds of years, and it’s still in such good shape! And why did you smash my statue?! Are you dissatisfied with ?!”

Among the Dwarfs, there were many craftsn and stonemasons, so the road was lined with statues, which were mostly of ancient Dwarven Kings and heroes. The statue that the Thunder Guard had just smashed happened to be that of Copper Hamr.

The Thunder Guard, having taken the kick to his rear, fled the scene.

Having been projected onto Ange’s body, Negris had not dared to speak. However, he understood that the Heart of Thunder was likely an amplifier with the power of Thunder. Once activated, the enemy’s attacks would carry thunder damage and could even be unleashed to cause long-range damage.
