Summoning Total War

Chapter 42: Centaur Longbow (Part 2)

This night, Murphy slept very heavily.

   When he woke up the next day, it was already bright. And as his consciousness became more awake, loud voices sounded in his ears. The construction of the blacksmith shop was almost finished. The iron self-sufficiency of the town is a very important thing, so the residents have been rushing to work in recent days. The blacksmith shop does not occupy a large area, but the required personnel training is quite troublesome. In the first period, Murphy allocated a batch of materials for them to practice.

   Until these few days, it finally got results.

Turning over, Murphy realized that the coat she was wearing was no longer the one she had last night. She was wearing a thin sand-woven close-fitting nightgown, which was very close and comfortable. The style did not look like her own, but it was. It's kind of like the clothes of female priests...

   It seems that the high priest replaced him last night?

   There is still a faint fragrance on it.

   Murphy was together, and suddenly he noticed a little itching in his back. He put his hand on his back and scratched it, and immediately scratched a large blood cocoon.

   "Is my injury healed?" Murphy touched the smooth newly born skin behind him, and looked surprised.

  In the battle with the Jackal that night, because the situation was very unfavorable, even Murphy, as the lord, had to join the battle himself in the end!

   That night, General Hamilton died in battle! Only 11 of the Spartan heavy infantry survived! And Murphy also left a full three visible bone wounds on his back that night!

   One is a sword wound, the other two are left by the claws of the jackal.

   The latter almost tore off a large piece of flesh on Murphy's back when he attacked!

   This wound was initially partly healed under the treatment of holy water and the high priest's magic arts. If the other part of the flesh and blood regeneration is not used, it will wait for a slow natural healing process. It's only been a week or two now, it shouldn't get better so soon?

   Murphy suddenly remembered the warm feeling from the soft hands of the high priest last night. In the process of squeezing the sour muscles, he also experienced the kind of warm current similar to that of the magical treatment.

   Did the high priest heal himself again last night?

   Thinking of this, Murphy's heart suddenly felt warm.

   is really a very caring little girl...

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

   Breakfast is oatmeal porridge, in addition to a bowl of stewed fish soup, full of fragrant aroma.

   After eating breakfast, Murphy called the messenger to ask about the specific number of wolves captured last night. According to the previous agreement, half of these wolves captives were Murphy's spoils.

   After some inquiries, Murphy found that the percentage of prisoners was still a lot.

   The Jackal Clan, with a population of about five hundred, had nearly two hundred adult Jackal captured.

   Under the situation of being surrounded, as the first batch of adult male jackals as the main force were killed, soon the other female jackals and half-adult jackals lost their confidence and completely gave up resistance. It must be mentioned here that the so-called half-adult jackals refer to jackals who are between twelve and eighteen years old and have not yet reached the twenty-year-old standard for the most combative age of jackals.

   Under normal circumstances, the composition of the Jackal clan is only so much, and the internal competition of this cruel creature is fierce. Few jackals can live to an older age. Generally, when they begin to enter old age, the survival ability of jackals is greatly reduced!

  Because the other jackals in the clan will also be their potential enemies!

   One hundred jackals, even according to the minimum standard of 20 silver coins, it is worth more than 2000 silver coins.

   is almost equivalent to a full month's tax on the territory!

   Because of trade, Murphy also has some surplus on hand. He has never been a person who likes to save money. In his opinion, the money spent is money! Those hoarded in the territory are not called money, but silver precious metals.

   All the income from town trade was basically transferred by Murphy to purchase supplies from the rear of the humans in the Southern Plains.

  These materials include all kinds of life needs and strategic reserves that can be used!

   The first batch of royal merchants similar to those dedicated to lords have been cultivated by Murphy, and everything should not be rushed, so he did not deliberately encourage the residents of the territory to do business. The progress of the construction of the territory is accelerating, and the silver coins in the hands of the urban residents are gradually increasing. Murphy believes that it will not take long for the merchants to gradually fill the void.

"Lord Lord, there is a businessman named Pulifei asking to see you!" A young girl asked Qingli outside the door. After the Governor's Mansion was rebuilt, a group of new maids were recruited. These girls took over from the attendants. Work, take over Murphy's daily life in the Governor's Mansion.

   And with the encouragement of the high priest, these girls were allowed to go to the temple to learn the fighting skills of the priests.

   There are twelve new maids, six are responsible for daily living and eating, and six are responsible for the safety of the Governor's Mansion. The latter are girls who have been selected by the high priest to have a certain fighting talent. They are receiving more orthodox Templar training. The current combat power is roughly equivalent to that of ordinary soldiers, but the room for growth is considerable!

   And in normal times, these girls are also the objects of Murphy's training.

   For now, Murphy can probably deal with the combined attack of three girls at the same time. Of course, this is not based on skills, but on the suppression of men's innate strength.

  Pulife?

   Murphy rubbed his forehead, trying to remember the identity of the name from his memory. During this period of time, there were so many names of people he had contacted, and he couldn't react to it for a while.

   Fortunately, he still has some impression of this name. Because it means-Philip.

  Pulifei seems to be a slave merchant and one of the main personnel who participated in the battle yesterday?

   He wants to see himself?

What will    be?

  ……………………

  *

   In fact, Pulifei, who is standing at the Governor's Mansion at this moment, is also upset.

  Pulifei is a middle-aged businessman, not tall, slightly fat, but very strong, a man who can eat a pound of meat for a meal. He was born into a family of goldsmiths, and after his hard work, he became a well-worth slave merchant. However, his recent luck is not good. As a slave merchant, Pulifei mainly manages goblin slaves, but since the Kobold language was successfully translated, some slave merchants have mastered the method of domestication = teaching kobolds, the slave industry The goblin was completely replaced by kobolds!

  The reason is well known. Goblins are not as diligent and honest as kobolds, and in industries where there is a large demand for slaves, such as mining, kobolds have a professional advantage over goblins.

   This leads to a problem, that is, the prospect of the goblin slave market has become less optimistic.

   And this is why Pulifei shifted his focus to the Jackal slave. In terms of profit, goblins are certainly not as high as jackals, but in terms of safety, goblins are obviously much less threatening. As a slave merchant with no aristocratic background, Pulifei didn't mix well in human city-states. Often suppressed by other slave merchants with nobles as the backstage!

   So, after seeing Murphy's extraordinary leadership and military talents yesterday, he thought about it all night and finally decided to recommend him and hug his thigh before today! He needs a backstage, and everything yesterday tells him that Murphy has a very high investment value! Of course, this also requires him to have corresponding value and be able to bring Murphy's benefits in line with it!

   For this, Pulifei is quite confident!

  Because he is one of the few merchants in the human city-state who dared to cross the deserted highlands and successfully traded with the half-human motor!

   This is also the reason why he can flourish without a noble background.

  Pulifei was full of adventurous spirit in his youth. He once took a group of people across the deserted highlands and rescued the centaur chief who was besieged by a large group of goblins in a coincidence.

   There were about six hundred goblins besieging dozens of tall centaurs.

  The unique sharp eyes of the merchant made him discover the extraordinary of these centaur, because they wore decorations made of mammoth teeth on their bodies, which was something only the centaur nobles could possess!

  Pulifei made a risky decision at the time!

   Then lead his mercenaries and attack those goblins with a team of less than fifty people! As a slave merchant, he knew that the guts of goblins were very small, as long as they could be suppressed in their aura, then they were likely to be defeated in one fell swoop!

   That time, Goddess of Luck stood beside Pulifei.

   He actually smashed that group of goblins in one fell swoop and saved the centaur nobles. And this action also won the gratitude of those centaurs, he was recognized by a centaur tribe chief, and was honored as a warrior!

   Even dare to attack in the face of more than ten times the enemy, this kind of courage is not bad compared with the centaur.

   Relying on this incident, Pulifei successfully reached a trade with the Centaur tribe, and initially established a friendship. He also relied on trade with the centaur tribe to accumulate capital little by little, and gradually gained his current status.

As a slave businessman, Pulifei is different from other big-hearted businessmen. Although he is a bit fat, his superior material life has not corrupted his heart. He can also make good swordsmanship and can step in the desert. He personally led the team on the sandy ground, and he still had the courage to lead the team to defeat them when facing the goblins several times!

   And he was also the only slave merchant who personally participated in melee combat yesterday!

   For this reason, there was a **** wound on Pulifei's arm.

  ………………

   In fact, although Pulifei is quite confident that Murphy will accept himself, because only he can buy horses and longbows from the centaur! But Murphy's extraordinary performance yesterday still made him feel a little bumpy.

   There is no other reason, it's just the invisible awe.

   Yes, Prifei found a little bit in yesterday's battle.

  That is, the Greek lord doesn't seem to have enough powerful long-range attack troops in his hands!

   Javelin throwing, this point has been gradually abandoned after human beings entered the city-state era, and the range and power of the bow and arrow have completely replaced the javelin. It should be impossible for the Greek lord's military talent to fail to see this. Then the reason why he did not form a long-range attack force was that he didn't have enough bows and arrows in his hand?

   In fact, making bows and arrows is not easy.

   This will take a while, and if the quality is guaranteed, the bow needs to be made in stages and it takes nearly a year.

  Pulifei’s biggest advantage is that he can buy a longbow from the centaur tribe, a powerful longbow with an effective range of 210 yards (about 200 meters).

   Of course, there is still one shortcoming, that is, this kind of longbow has higher requirements for strength (because it is used by Centaur), and the quantity that can be purchased is not too much.

   But Philip is sure to rely on his past friendship to buy more than 300 longbows from the centaur tribe!

  Because he knows that the Centaur clan is currently at war with a large intelligent creature in the north! They urgently need a batch of armor to arm themselves, and at the same time, due to the war, there is a shortage of food for the centaur. As long as they provide what they need, it is not very difficult to buy longbows and steeds from them!

   In order to win Murphy as much as possible, he also brought the only centaur longbow in his hand!

  

"This is the Centaur Longbow?" Murphy looked at the longbow in front of him quietly. It has smooth lines, its bow is very smooth, and its length is about 1.5 meters. Because it is a centaur weapon, it has a body shape. Larger, the strength required to open the bow is not small, but it is still within the range that humans can accept!

Although he was ecstatic in his heart, Murphy's face remained calm. He looked at the sturdy middle-aged man who was a little bumpy in front of him. This man looked more like a warrior than a businessman, with a shrewd light in his eyes, but he did not appear to be a fool. It seems that I already know how to keep things in my heart. Almost when this man expressed a sense of refuge, Murphy had the idea of ​​soliciting him!

  The reason is very simple. He knows the trade route with Centaur and can buy supplies from Centaur!

  These supplies include horses and weapons!

   "Your talent, it's a shame to be a businessman." Murphy slowly stood up, his eyes quietly falling on Pulifei in front of him. Although his true age is only sixteen years old, as a lord, the long-term command and the aura cultivated in the war have made him exert pressure on other people! Especially with Prifei who experienced yesterday's war, he can even feel the unusual aura of Murphy!

   After Murphy saw the slave merchant in front of him, he remembered such a person in his mind.

   The reason is very simple. The man in front of him who is physically strong looks more like a warrior than a businessman. He is the only slave businessman who personally participated in the battle yesterday.

   This makes Murphy feel good about him and appreciates his courage!

"I happen to be missing a clerk in my territory. I don't know if you want to work for me?" Murphy smiled, and the smile immediately made Pulifei like a spring breeze, and the whole person relaxed~www .readwn.com~ Murphy's words surprised Pulifei!

   He just wanted to seek refuge in Murphy for the support of the nobility, but he did not expect that Murphy would value himself so much before everything had achieved results! This is not to blame for Philip's misunderstanding, because the position of clerk in this world aristocratic circle is generally held by the little nobles, and by the little nobles who are more trusted by the big lords. According to the division of the world's nobles, although the scope of the territory is not large, Murphy's strength is at least considered a viscount. Then his clerk was at least a nobleman!

   Murphy's statement, in the eyes of the aborigines of this world, basically represents a series of corresponding promises such as position, status, and noble title.

   So it's no wonder that Pulifei will be taken aback.

   After a moment of ecstasy, Pulifei knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to help you! Your Honorable Lord!"

  As a slave merchant from a not-so-good background, Pulifei knew very well what the identity of a nobleman in this era could represent! It takes generations of effort to obtain a noble status!

   Merchants, no matter how much money they have, in the eyes of nobles, they will always be pigs full of copper.

   They have no status and are not allowed to raise private soldiers. In the eyes of the great nobles, there is no difference between merchants and captive pigs!

   can be used to kill when necessary.
