Summoning Total War

This is the hinterland of the southern plain, located to the southeast of the Karazhan Mountains, and to the west is the Nedoria River, which leads to the distant sea. To the east is a dense forest, which was originally the territory of the wood elves, but since the dwarves announced their vows of revenge, the elves contracted their defenses and abandoned most of the outer forest, and this became the territory of the jackals.

　　 Jackals have always been active as small-scale clans. Even if they attack humans, they are not opponents of humans who have established a city system. But I don’t know why, since last year, the clans of the jackals began to integrate under a certain powerful force, and finally formed a tribal system-the Kazzat-Gnoll tribe!

Beginning last year, the activities of gnolls attacking human cities and towns have become more frequent, until the gnoll tribe with 18,000 adult gnoll forces captured one of the big cities of the human city-West Morton, a human city. Only then truly realized that there was an unprecedented enemy around him!

After the formation of a united front, the human city-states have lost steadily in the battle with the jackals. The opponents are no longer ignorant beasts and possess a large number of primitive weapons. This has made the human defense line shrink step by step, and finally rely on the rise of mankind. The three large cities built in the Southern Plains that were horns to each other stabilized the formation and barely opposed them.

In the war with the wolves, humans discovered that the wolves were no longer rushing in chaos. These primitive sub-human creatures actually had a certain degree of discipline in just three years. They even domesticated a group of wolves, and The Jackal Cavalry was trained for the first time on the stage of history!

　　 The sudden and powerful rise of the jackals made the human city-state cast doubtful eyes on the half-orc tribes who were expelled to the loess high slopes.

　　 Realizing that humans are facing unprecedented threats, the human city-states decisively look for reliable allies to maintain the situation, and finally set their sights on the dwarves who have risen strongly after returning to the surface world.

　　Dwarves need food, and humans need weapons.

　　 Both hit it off!

　　 Just when the humans formed an alliance with the dwarves, the Jackal tribe pushed forward decisively and opened up the passage with the southern wilderness with a lot of casualties. Although in the end this passage was still cut off under the strong counterattack of humans, some of the jackals have entered the southern wilderness, and a powerful crisis is coming.

　　 The Southern Wilderness is a barren land, where a large number of kobold clans live there, and there is another subspecies of jackal clan-gray-faced jackal!

The intention of the 　　 jackal tribe is obvious. They intend to conquer the kobold clan and unite with another jackal clan to form a north-south front, flanking human city-states back and forth!

　　The weapons supported by the dwarves are still on the way, but a large number of kobolds have appeared behind the human city-states. They attacked villages and destroyed farmland, trying to mess up the back of the human city-state into a mess!

　　 And when this plane was surging, a small village suddenly fell from the sky deep in the hinterland of the southern plain.

　　…………………………

　　 343 years of the Second Age.

The orcs and the descendants of giants broke out in a large-scale battle with a population of more than 800,000 in the Martha Plains. The orcs, who were once slaves to the giants, broke through the defenses of the descendants of giants from the front with the behemoths. Regained a round on the frontal battlefield!

　　 After the Battle of Martha, the Orcs family was renamed Beamon.

　　365 years of the Second Age.

The dwarves who were driven out by the ancient elves and huddled in the mountains for thousands of years have returned to the surface world. With nearly a thousand years of hard work, the dwarves have extracted higher-quality metal, and relying on this rareness named "fine gold" Metal, the dwarves attacked the elves headed by the ancient elves. Eight thousand heavy infantry dwarves, wearing heavy armor and holding battle axes, smashed the elves’ defenses. Forcing the prairie elves and wood elves to abandon their territories and retreat to the birthplace of the elves-Emerald Forest.

　　 After a strong counterattack, the two sides fell into a stalemate. The dwarves began to migrate populations to the surface world to form cities.

　　 372 years of the Second Age.

　　The Jackal clans, which are active in the periphery of the human city-states, are strongly integrated under the action of some unknown force. More than one hundred thousand adult jackals have been gathered to attack human towns and villages. The human line of defense collapsed several times, but under the mobilization of the city-state system, the line of defense was finally stabilized and alliance with the dwarves. A large number of soldiers were continuously sent to the front line. The Jackal’s offensive was curbed, and the war between the two sides entered a bond.

　　 373 years of the Second Age.

The jackals broke through the southern line of human defense with huge casualties. A group of jackal troops entered the southern wilderness, and then the gray-tempered jackals that were active in the southern wilderness were integrated, and more than half a million kobolds became jackals. Vassal, disrupting the rear of the human city-state.

　　 Dark clouds cover the sky and the sun, the rain is coming!

　　*

　　 There are several villages near the Nedoria River, and a large town with a port and a port.

　　 But now, here is a deserted place, because it is on the front line of the jackal attack, the land here has been abandoned by the human city-states, and the territory in the hinterland of the southern plains is kept inside.

　　 When the jackals attacked in the early days, humans suffered a lot of losses. Many cities and towns that had not yet reacted were captured. A large number of people were looted, or they became slaves or became food for the jackals. It wasn't until West Morton was captured by the Jackal that the humans reacted. Begin the emergency migration of the population and rebuild the defense line. So here, as early as a year ago, it has become a barren land.

　　 Jackals don’t know how to farm. They live on nomads, fishing and hunting.

　　 So after there is no humans here, there are fewer signs of jackal activities, but it is temporarily safe.

　　 The human city-states in the southern plains have 36 large cities, and the towns and villages that each city belongs to have a population of more than 100,000! The mobilization force of the city-state era was undoubtedly revealed at the time of war. A large number of troops were sent to the front line from the rear. Relying on the defense of the strong city wall, the offensive of the jackals was stopped for a time and was not allowed to advance.

　　 On the south side of the Nedoria River, there was originally a town named Hilton, but under the attack of the jackals, it has become a ruin.

　　 But at this moment, there is a thriving scene in the ruins.

　　 Two teams of soldiers armed with bucklers and long rifles patrolled the ruins of the town. A large number of civilians in the center of the town were repairing damaged houses. And the number exceeds five hundred

　　 Young laborers are cutting down trees and using sharpened stakes to build a wooden fence surrounding the town.

　　 On the most central square of the town, a group of soldiers dressed in bright red robes with firm and solemn expressions surround a black-clothed and dark-haired young man, watching everything around him vigilantly. The young man with black hair and dark eyes was standing in the center of the square, directing the people to clean up the debris on the street.

　　 Everyone is nervous and busy.

　　 Until night fell, after the gate of Muzha was built, there was a burst of cheers from the civilians in the town. And the black-haired boy who had always been serious, returned to the most spacious and luxurious house in the center of the town.

　　……………………

　　 "Huh, it's been a week. Finally the Mucha is built." Murphy fell on his back on the bed and let out a long suffocation.

　　 It has been a week since I traveled into this world. Looking back on the situation at that time, Murphy still has a remnant in his heart.

　　 When he first came to this world, Murphy encountered a group of hideous humanoids. These humanoids are almost as tall as humans when they stand upright, and their bodies are covered with fluffy gray-green fur. From the head, they look like a hyena, with yellow teeth and blood red eyes, bloodthirsty and cruel! When they saw Murphy, these hyena-like humanoid creatures howled and rushed forward.

　　 At the time, Murphy almost thought he was going to die!

　　 Just when he thought he was dead, a group of soldiers wearing bright red robes and holding five-meter guns with golden bucklers suddenly appeared beside him. These warriors, dressed in bright red robes with strong muscles and blue muscles, looked solemn and determined, lined up in front of Murphy, and shot out decisively when those hyena-like humanoid creatures pounced!

　　 "Puff!" "Puff!"

　　 There was a sound of weapons penetrating flesh and blood, and more than a dozen ferocious hyena-like humanoid creatures fell in front of Murphy.

　　 "Sparta!"

　　 The soldiers wearing red robes with bucklers and long spears roared, put down their spears and pulled out the short swords from their waists and rushed up.

　　 When Murphy came back to his senses, the hideous creatures had all fallen in front of him.

　　 and a blood-stained soldier in a red robe came to him and said respectfully: "General!"

　　 Now that I think about it, Murphy feels a bit funny in his heart.

　　 After recovering, he immediately remembered the previous dreamlike scene.

　　 vaguely remembered the screen of the game "Total War", and then someone similar to electronic sound said to him, please choose the initial civilized town.

　　 That day, Murphy just played "Rome: Total War" to unite the world with Greece. Thinking that he was dreaming, he answered without hesitation: "Greece!"

　　 Murphy remembers clearly that he played until three o'clock in the morning to unify the world, and then turned off the computer to sleep.

　　 But I don’t know what’s going on. After finishing that strange dream, I woke up in this world where I didn’t know where it was.

　　 After some memories, Murphy was sure that he really passed through.

　　 And also brought the "Total War" auxiliary system.

　　……………………

　　 After simply eating something, Murphy immediately muttered in his heart after returning to the room: "Show town attributes."

　　 Then, a data screen came to his mind.

　　※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

　　 City management interface:

　　City: Athens (large town)

　　 Popular heart: loyalty (loyalty, doubt, riot)

　　 Taxation: Medium taxation

　　 Social security: 165% (garrison +115%, agriculture +30%, civilization +10%, health +5%, medium tax +5%)

　　Population growth: +6.5% (agriculture +5%, medium tax +1%, health +0.5%)

　　 Population required to upgrade: 6000

　　 has an army: two Greek infantry teams (160 people), a Spartan heavy infantry team (80 people), and a general guard team (24 people).

　　 Ownership Officer: Diplomat (1)

The city’s besieged food can last for rounds: 12 rounds (one round is equivalent to one month in real time, and a unit of food is about 100 catties per stone. Soldiers consume about two catties a day, while ordinary people consume about one catty a day and two meals. The annual food consumption for 2000 people is about 6000 shi.)

　　－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

　　 List of existing buildings:

　　 Governor’s Mansion: The Governor’s Mansion is a place for officials to perform administration and allows locals to see the magnificence of Greek civilization. It is the basic administrative center. The Governor's Residence also expressed its sovereignty and stability in this area. The Governor's Residence allows the city to develop rapidly and can upgrade existing buildings. (Recruitment: farmers. Increase recruitment: diplomats.)

　　 Town Barracks: The town barracks have good facilities for training and accommodating troops. The barracks are clean and tidy, but they are by no means comfortable. They came here to protect their homes, not to enjoy them! Urban barracks can be upgraded to higher-level barracks as the city develops. (Recruitment: Greek militia, Greek infantry.)

　　 Mucha: The tall fences are built around the city with sharpened wood, which gives people a certain sense of security. But it cannot resist for too long in front of the enemy's siege weapons. It is conceivable that such a cheap and simple fortification can be easily handled by workers as long as it is a worker. But it makes people feel like home, and makes people feel that this is a place to live, work and develop!

　　 Cultivated land: This is slightly better for cutting down trees and setting fire to a clearing. The cultivated land can produce a lot of food for the soldiers, citizens and slaves in the city to eat, and promote population growth. However, this kind of self-sufficient agriculture can only support oneself and family members, and can barely make ends meet. If agriculture can develop, cities can quickly upgrade.

　　Roads: Army engineers build simple bridges in swamps, rivers and hills, and build roads based on stones, maintain and repair these simple trails, and clear the messy vegetation around the roads. They are not ideal paths, but of course they are better than nothing.

　　 Description: The Greek militias are soldiers recruited from the city, and they are put into the battlefield after a little training. They are pikemen, equipped with long spears, and a large round shield, for which they are named. As a type of infantry, the Greek militia has existed for centuries, and its tactics or equipment have not changed much. These people do not wear armor because they are recruited from the poor at the bottom, and they have to provide their own combat equipment. Greek city-states have always been protected by their people. Their pikemen's phalanx formation can best exert their combat effectiveness. The Greek militias were soldiers recruited from the cities, and were thrown into the battlefield after a little training.

　　 Attack (7), charge bonus (2), weapon type (long weapon).

　　 total defense (16), armor (5), defense skills (6), shield (5).

　　 vitality (1).

　　 Morale (4).

　　 Recruitment costs (440), maintenance costs (150).

　　Ability: can form a square matrix, can dig tunnels.

　　 Explanation: All the military forces in Greece are almost entirely supported by Greek infantry. They fight in square formations or close squares, and are powerful in fighting infantry or cavalry. The tactics of the Greek infantry are simple: usually when the formation is advancing towards the enemy, they form a square formation and protect each soldier with overlapping shields. Then approach the enemy and start fighting. They are well trained, have excellent endurance, and are one of the most effective armies in the world. Greek infantry usually supplies their own equipment, so they are not recruited from the lower classes. They wear hard leather armor, carry round shields and guns. Using composite copper to grab the tip, it can be deeply inserted into the ground and is not as easy to rust as iron. If the barrel breaks, it can also be used as a fighting weapon.

　　 The Greek infantry is a well-equipped infantry, the most powerful in a terrible phalanx formation (although it is slightly inconvenient).

　　 Recruitment round: 1

　　 Description: The diplomat has received strict professional training such as compliments, temptations, rhetoric and intimidation. He is responsible for negotiating with other factions. His work includes bargaining, negotiating peace, signing agreements, and even surrendering.

　　※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

　　 Murphy looked at the data screen that emerged in his mind, thinking silently in his heart.

　　Although there is an auxiliary system for "Total War", this world is not a game after all. There are many things that cannot be solved with game data, at best it can only be regarded as auxiliary.

　　 is like the original game only has tax and agricultural income, but after this, the system clearly separates tax and agricultural income. And after Murphy's research during this period, it was found that the data provided by the auxiliary system would fluctuate greatly from reality.

　　 When the Mucha was built, the system indicated that the time required was one month. After Murphy issued this order through the messenger, the town automatically assigned about 300 people to cut down the trees to build the Mucha. Muzha is a town-level building that can be built with a population of over 1,000. The time required is one round, that is, one month. According to this progress, the construction of Mucha is too slow. So Murphy personally appointed to increase the number of people who fell trees to build Mucha to 1,200!

　　 As a result, work efficiency was greatly accelerated, and Mucha was completed in just one week.

　　 Obviously, the "Total War" system is only a digitized direction, but the specific details are still based on reality.

　　 is like farmland. Murphy, the farmland outside the Greek town, visited it.

　　 I took a rough visual inspection, because of the barrenness and the destruction of the jackals for a year, after this week of repairs, I barely got hooked with the lowest-level cultivated land marked by the system. But even though it is barren, the originally fertile land can be quickly restored to use after certain repairs and trenches are dug. Murphy took a visual inspection of the cleaned up field, and it was about 1,000 mu.

　　 According to the four-shields of one mu of real estate, one thousand mu is four thousand shi per season, which is exactly the same as the half-year food income in the data. However, it is obviously very reluctant to produce four thousand stones a year to feed two thousand people and the army, and it is necessary to open more pits and cultivate the land.

　　 For the two groups of Greek infantry, one month’s military salary and maintenance costs add up to 300 silver coins, and six months is 1800 silver coins. Although the pair of Spartan heavy infantry was included in the system and could not be recruited, the maintenance cost was still needed. One month was 400 silver coins, and six months was 2,400 silver coins. To sum it up, the maintenance cost of the army for half a year is 4,200 silver coins.

　　 In addition to the half-year tax of 1800 silver coins given in the system data, the total tax is equal to 6000 silver coins, which is exactly 1,000 a month. In the absence of commercial trade, according to the medium tax, it is exactly 0.5 a month’s poll tax to be allocated to the 2000 townspeople.

　　 The tax on 6,000 silver coins in half a year is indeed a bit low. After deducting military expenses, there is basically nothing left.

　　 But this is only a medium tax. If Murphy turns the tax into a higher tax, then the basic poll tax will become one silver coin per person per month. So the half-year tax is 12,000 silver coins, and the half-year surplus is 7,800 silver coins.

　　 That's pretty impressive!

　　 But now that the town has just been built, people's hearts are just floating, and it is not suitable for tax increases.

　　 rubbed his head, Murphy opened the construction interface again to see what to build next.

　　 People also need to sleep at night, and generally construction orders are issued during the day. In the evening, if you ask the official to issue an order not to let people sleep, the next day, the people will be filled with grievances.

　　※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

　　 currently available buildings:

　　Wooden Wall (Building rounds: 2): Simple wooden walls have better defense than Mucha, but they are still not a big deal for organized attacks. But it provides a hardwood gate and strengthens the protection of the city wall. It can delay the speed of the enemy's invasion of the city, so it is a good thing to fight against surprise attacks. The construction requires silver coins: 800.

　　 Stables (number of rounds of construction: 3): This is the basic building needed to train cavalry troops. Horses are precious war reserve resources, and the stables are places where horses are bred for war. The stables can be upgraded with the growth of the city to recruit stronger and more diverse troops (recruitment: javelin cavalry, domesticated horses) to build requires silver coins: 1200.

　　 Shooting range (number of construction rounds: 3): The shooting range is a building required for training light troops. This is especially true for javelin throwing practice. (Recruitment: Javelinmen) Construction requires silver coins: 1200.

　　 Shop (Building rounds: 2): Merchants can make a small fortune by selling some local specialties to other cities. There are risks in doing business, but it is a good way to increase wealth. Trade between cities and cities can benefit each other and prosper together, but self-sufficiency can hardly promote development. (Provided: increase trade goods, population growth rate bonus 05%) Construction requires silver coins: 600.

　　Public farms (number of rounds of construction: 3): When the "fire farming" farming method exhausts the productivity of the land, public farms appear and people engage in cooperative farming. Public farms produce through a small-scale economy, centralize the means of production, and work together as a team to obtain a bumper harvest. In this way, personal losses can be minimized, and production can be increased to increase population growth. Construction requires silver coins: 1200.

　　Paving stone roads (number of rounds: 3): These repaired stone roads allow the army to assemble quickly and march quickly, so of course the construction of stone roads gives priority to their military value, but merchants or farmers can also benefit from it. The construction of paving roads requires careful measurement and survey, and a large number of road inspections and various auxiliary roads must be built. No matter how complicated the project is, at least it will not turn into a muddy road in the rainy season, or a dusty road on a sunny day. Construction requires silver coins: 1200.

　　 Port (Building rounds: 2): The port can increase maritime trade and create wealth for the city, and it can also build small warships. For all long-distance trade, shipping is one of the most important methods. Airline was the fast track for cargo at that time, and shipping cargo by ship was the most cost-effective. From a military point of view, the port is also very important, because the construction of the naval fleet requires port technology, personnel, and equipment. (Provided: Establishing a trading fleet, building a fishing boat) (Recruiting troops: a two-row battleship) The construction requires silver coins: 1200.

　　 Leadership Temple: This temple is dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war and craftsmanship. She is also the patron saint of Athens, the birthplace of democracy. Athens not only endowed mankind with many advanced craftsmanship, but also gave birth to many almighty warriors. By paying homage to religious gods, people are spiritually supported and feel happy and satisfied. When the city grows, the temple can be expanded. (Improve social security by 5% because of happiness, and improve social security by 5% because of the law). The construction requires silver coins: 280.

　　－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

　　 The Greek cavalry is basically soy sauce, and the long-range arms are also very common. So the stables and shooting ranges are not considered for the time being. Since the store has not found other human towns, trading is temporarily impossible.

　　The remaining roads can be built later, first rule out. Because the public farm missed the winter wheat, it was temporarily unable to come.

　　 In this way, what really needs to be built now is the wooden wall, the port and the temple.

　　 There are many creatures that resemble jackals in previous games, so defense is the key. However, because the wooden fence has been built, the demand for wooden walls is not so strong for the time being. If only to stop those wolves, a wooden fence more than three meters high is barely enough.

　　 After the wooden wall is temporarily put, then the temple and port of the goddess of wisdom Athena are the most needed.

　　Since the town is named Athens, Murphy does not intend to build the temple of several other gods, such as the goddess of love, the **** of wealth, and the goddess of victory. It only takes one round to build the lowest-level temple. If there are more laborers, it may be completed in a few days.

　　 Since coming to this world, Murphy has a sense of awe for the gods. So he is more inclined to build the temple first.

　　 However, food self-sufficiency is still a bit reluctant at present, and spring wheat will still be harvested for a long time. The food stored in the treasury alone cannot last long. To the west of the town is a big river with wide and gentle water. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has fertile water plants and there is absolutely no problem in developing fisheries. And in the auxiliary system, the port obviously has a little more options.

　　That is to build fishing boats.

　　In this way, before the crops are harvested, the river that can rival the Nile can feed thousands of people.

Murphy once took the cavalry to explore the river named Nedoria. The river is wide and the water is stable, the two banks are dense with water plants, and the fish are plump. In some areas where the water is flat, I don’t know how much is hidden in the dense reeds. Fatty fish. As long as the scale of fishing boats can be expanded, the sources of food will not be so tight for the time being.

　　 And Murphy estimated that this river goes west to the sea, and there should be many human cities and villages along the way. If other humans can be found, then trade can be started, undoubtedly an extra income. There are a lot of traces of human cities and towns in this place. Murphy estimated that it should be because of the creatures resembling jackals that the humans who originally lived here would leave.

　　 The port cannot be completed for a while.

　　 So after thinking about it, Murphy decided to build the temple of the goddess of wisdom Athena tomorrow.

　　 In this unknown world, even as a traverser, he needs a spiritual sustenance.

　　－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

　　 "Goddess of Wisdom-Athena, if you really exist. Please bless me to successfully withstand the attacks of those wolves." Murphy meditated in her heart and slowly fell asleep.

　　 He dreamed that all of this was a dream. When he opened his eyes, he returned to the earth and continued to live comfortably at work, playing games, eating and waiting to die.
