Summoning Total War

Chapter 69: widow

As time enters May, the crops planted are already thriving, and the residents of the towns of Athens are also moving towards hope.

  The city's drainage system has been completed. With a complete drainage system, the environment of Athens town will be more beautiful. In the past few days, the elite Macedonian light cavalry composed of 108 troops has also completed training. These light cavalry equipped with saddles and stirrups have been liberated from traditional combat methods. With cross-age equipment, they are far stronger than in the past!

   The role of light cavalry in cold weapon combat is irreplaceable!

   They are responsible for detecting harassment and attacking the enemy's flanks, etc.

  ………………

   The heavy rain stopped on the fourth day.

   The sky is rarely clear, and Murphy, who has slept for several days, woke up early today.

   It was almost as soon as Murphy got up, Bell and Angela who had been waiting outside knew about it. They walked into the room with a basin, one of them wiped Murphy's face with a soft towel, and the other took a cup of water and rinsed his mouth. After a simple refreshing, the two girls picked up the clothes to put on Murphy, by the way, some interesting things or gossip that happened in the territory.

  After being close for a period of time, they all know that although Murphy is sometimes strict, he is usually very easy-going.

   He is very tolerant towards the maids in the Governor's Mansion. Even if he smashes something, he seldom punishes them, and hits their palms at best. In contrast, the steward of the Governor's Mansion is more strict, making them feel scared.

   As Murphy's personal maid, her nature is a bit like Middle-earth's personal maid.

   They slept next to Murphy's room. Every day they got up to get everything ready before Murphy woke up, and at night they had to wait for Murphy to sleep before going to rest. However, during the day and noon, Murphy was going to inspect the territory. At that time, they had nothing to do and could find time to make up for it. In fact, there is not much work to be done. In addition to these, I also cleaned the room and helped Murphy wash the clothes.

   In this month, the little bell, who was only fourteen years old, was obviously a little fatter, with a small face and two sweet dimples when he smiled.

   "Mr. Murphy, Mrs. Elizabeth is here." The voice of the attendant came from outside the door.

"Huh? She's here?" Murphy nodded, squeezed the bell's pink face, and said: "Go and let the kitchen prepare a little food and send it to the hall. Well, prepare one more. "

   "Hmm." Bell nodded obediently, buttoned Murphy's shirt, and responded.

   During this time, Murphy and Mrs. Elizabeth rarely met. Now the aristocratic councils in the territory and the human city-states have been connected. Although Murphy did not go to the rear in person, the relationship between them is still relatively harmonious. After all, the living environment of mankind in this era is not so comfortable. The environment of constant disputes between various races still allows mankind to maintain mutual support in the righteousness.

   In such a chaotic era, one more ally is better than one more enemy.

   Besides, the cities and towns of Athens have also contributed a lot to the human military reform in the southern plains. The intelligence gathered by the spies shows that Murphy also has a good reputation behind the humans. When the aboriginal humans here talk about Athens, they can't avoid talking about their young lords and the Spartan warriors who can defeat the high wolves head-on. Although there is a certain noble council to fuel the flames. They need a hero in name, and now they can only passively defend when they are defeated in battle with the Jackal, even if this human comes from other places.

   The most important thing now is to rebuild the people’s confidence in defeating the jackals, and then drive the jackals back home in the fall!

   Among the rumors about Murphy, what he did when reorganizing mercenaries is the most widely spread. It was naturally the lower-level mercenaries who fought with him that spread all this. For such a military commander who has the courage to bring victory, they are always excited when talking to others.

   When I saw Mrs. Elizabeth again, she was much more emaciated than before.

   There was light makeup on her charming face, but she still couldn't hide the tiredness and the faint dark circles on her face. It can be seen that she has spent a lot of effort in arranging these remnants, and the whole person seems a little depressed.

   "Didn't you have breakfast? Eat something." Murphy sat down and slightly raised her hand to Mrs. Elizabeth, motioning her to eat something first.

   Mrs. Elizabeth took a sip of the milk, then put it down, seemingly without appetite at all.

"The food is not enough, or something else? If I can help, just speak up." There are now more than 8,000 remnants gathered under Mrs. Elizabeth's. Although most of them are farmers, so many people eat and consume every day. There is also a lot of food. Murphy assisted a group, and Mrs. Elizabeth herself also raised a sum of funds through means, but it was still enough. She once mentioned that the wealth accumulated by the family for generations is buried near the castle, but it is now the territory of the Jackal, and it is a dream to take it out.

   Mrs. Elizabeth had a slight hesitation on her face. She stared at Murphy for a long time before she said with difficulty: "I can be an excellent politician, but I am not a qualified military strategist."

   "Huh?" Murphy was slightly puzzled.

   Mrs. Elizabeth looked struggling, but in the end she still looked serious and said: "I want you to command the army!"

   "Me?" Murphy smiled and slowly said, "My reputation is not enough to make them obey."

   In this era, perhaps one sentence is more appropriate.

   That is, ‘my vassal is not my vassal. "Mrs. Elizabeth's knight may obey her orders, but for himself, another lord, it is obviously still very repulsive. Because these family knights would worry that Murphy would deprive them of their rights, Mrs. Elizabeth commanded them, what they are or what. But if Murphy takes over, the first thing I am afraid to do is to disrupt their organization and take everything in their own hands. At that time their status is difficult to say, because everything will be decided by Murphy.

   To put it simply, if Murphy takes over the army, then if he regains his territory in the future.

   It is hard to say who the territory belongs to.

   belongs to Mrs. Elizabeth, they will be able to obtain the rights of the past. But for Murphy, everything will be reshuffled! Because Murphy could not return the territory to them.

   Unless, Mrs. Elizabeth marries Murphy, and Murphy inherits the title of Marquis.

   At that time, according to the tradition of the nobles of the human city-state, the status of these family knights will be guaranteed.

   However, this possibility is not high.

   Murphy is a lord, ruler of the towns of Athens, and supreme commander of the Greeks! He is not a lowly knight. He has his own town and a powerful army. How could such a lord lay down his identity to inherit the title of a marquis?

  Besides, it's not Murphy's arrogance, Mrs. Elizabeth's soldiers, except for those heavy cavalry, are nothing more than population in Murphy's eyes.

   There was a trace of blush on Mrs. Elizabeth's face, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

   She looked at Murphy, sighed quietly, and said: "I plan to give you half of the serfs. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is also part of the transaction."

   In this world, the serfs at the bottom have no personal freedom. They are the private property of the lord. If a serf fled the territory, the lord could execute him according to the law. In terms of status, serfs are only a little bit higher than slaves.

  Half serfs?

   That is close to two thousand people?

   In other words, she can't support so many people now?

   Murphy nodded, and said solemnly: "I will arrange for someone to transport a batch of food and weapons."

   To be honest, Murphy really appreciates Mrs. Elizabeth's point. A transaction is a transaction, and it has nothing to do with friendship. This woman is very sensible and never thinks that others should give something for herself.

   Self-improvement and self-confidence.

   Maybe these qualities are used to describe a woman is not suitable.

When the goal was achieved, Mrs. Elizabeth stood up. She walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she stopped suddenly, turned back and looked at Murphy, and said softly: "My husband flees the territory with a carriage of silver coins. The funny thing is that the silver coin escaped, but he was left behind by the Jackal."

   "In other words, I am a widow now." Mrs. Elizabeth sighed faintly, turned and left without looking back.

   Murphy was stunned when he heard the words.

   Then, there was a long silence...
