Summoning Total War

Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update calls for total war!

The arrival of the mermaid did not disrupt Murphy's rhythm of life.

He still gets up at seven o'clock every morning, then patrols the territory, and then arranges many buildings that are not counted in the auxiliary system of "Total War". For example, recently the first quarry was established within the limits of the city of Athens.

Due to the relatively low level of technology in this era, the efficiency of the quarry is a bit slow, and it also requires a lot of labor.

It is said that the dwarves who are good at mining have invented the original gunpowder, but it seems that it is not black powder, but another kind of gunpowder made of materials in this world.

If possible, Murphy would like to find a way to study it.

His knowledge of physics is limited, but he does know a little about history.

From the appearance of gunpowder to the appearance of firearms, there was an interval of more than 1,500 years. The advancement of science and technology is the accumulation and foundation of time and history bit by bit. It is simply impossible to directly leap the distance of thousands of years. Not to mention anything else, but as far as the territory is concerned, even a decent spring cannot be produced. Before the advent of industrial machine tools, many things that seemed very simple in modern times were extremely difficult to do.

Not to mention far away, but just the bed frame where Murphy slept when he was studying.

The shelf is removed and polished, and it is a good steel knife in ancient times!

This is the foundation of thousands of years of time and history.

It is by no means an overnight achievement.

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

Since autumn turned into winter, the number of goblin slaves in the territory suddenly increased.

For these intelligent creatures with a low level of civilization, winter will be the most difficult time of the year for them. Intelligent creatures that are not good at growing crops will face the dilemma of food and cold in winter. Often at this time, this is the time when a group of old, weak, sick and disabled die on a large scale. After a winter snow, only those species that are hardy enough survive.

This is no joke.

No warm clothes, no shelter from the cold, no campfire, no food.

After the heavy snow falls, it only takes two or three days at most, and many species that are still quite primitive in civilization will die in large numbers.

And this time is also the most aggressive time for many animal groups that cannot survive the winter!

In the cold winter, even for humans who have entered the city-state era, some poor serfs will freeze to death in the snow.

Since a low-class goblin citizen appeared in the territory, the goblin slaves in the territory suddenly became eager. These rather intelligent creatures learned a part of simple human language in just three to five months, and began to understand that as long as they worked hard, there would be food. And if the great lord defeats the enemy, they can also get an extra part of the meat.

These goblins helped Murphy deal with the corpses of many enemies, and then worked hard for him.

With the entourage of the goblin lord, the efficiency of general Marcus Kane in capturing goblin slaves has been greatly improved. And since winter was about to start and the weather was getting colder and colder, some small groups of goblins who couldn't survive the winter even took the initiative to send them to him.

So now, the number of goblin peons in the territory is close to 30,000.

That's a pretty huge amount.

Due to the sharp increase in the number of goblin peons, the consumption of food in the city of Athens also suddenly increased. In order to save food, Murphy had to grind the husks of the wheat after peeling, which is commonly known as 'bran' to feed the animals, and mix them in the food for them to eat. In addition to bran, other things, such as stalks and roots, are also included in the recipes of goblin peons.

In winter, at least until there was a surplus of food in the territory, Murphy didn't plan to feed them too well.

He just needs to ensure that these little guys will not starve to death.

Moreover, since the territory had to clean up the scattered gnolls nearby, they could still eat a little meat every once in a while.

In addition to the increase in goblin slaves, the population of the lower classes in Murphy's territory also soared during this period.

During the wolf man's invasion of the southern plains, although some humans were captured by the wolf man and eventually became rations. But there are still a considerable number of poor people from the lower class who fled to the rear of the southern plains, or fled to the mountains and forests to escape disaster temporarily. After the human city-state defeated the Wolf Man, the lower-class poor people who had fled from their hometown returned to their original hometown.

Among these aborigines, a considerable part of the poor are serfs of the lords.

That is to say, people who do not have much personal freedom and can barely eat enough to avoid starving to death. For these people, it doesn't matter who their lord is. The important thing is that they have land to grow and work to do, and then they can have something to eat.

Winter is almost here.

These poor people who fled to the back of the southern plain had no food or clothes. The nobles in the back absorbed a group of refugees, but the number of refugees was too many. They can't consume such a large population at all, and if these refugees are allowed to enter the city, the public security problem in the town is also quite serious. So these refugees were expelled in the wild, but a little food was provided regularly to prevent them from living.

Human beings lost three large cities and more than a dozen small and medium-sized towns under the attack of Gnolls, and the poor with a population of more than 80,000 became homeless refugees.

After the Gnolls were defeated, these refugees began to organize and return to their hometown.

For a time, whether it was Murphy's territory or the territory recovered by Mrs. Elizabeth, a large number of refugees flooded in.

They knelt outside the town, begging the noble lord to take them in.

Otherwise, when winter comes, they will freeze to death in large numbers in the cold wind and snow.

………………

Population has always been something that Murphy urgently needs. Although these aborigines are too thin to be good fighters, they are still much better than goblins as a labor force. There is enough food in the territory to last for a year. After roughly calculating the reserves, Murphy decided to take in all the returning refugees.

How many refugees Murphy absorbed into Lady Elizabeth's domain is unclear.

However, there are more than 10,000 refugees who came to Murphy's territory to ask for shelter. They were yellow and emaciated, and their clothes were not covered. Some of the old and weak had died in the process of fleeing. used as a labor force.

At present, the total population of Athens city is close to 60,000.

Among them, the number of citizens is about 8,000 (including the aborigines originally accepted), the population of poor people is about 14,000, and the number of goblin peons is as many as 30,000 or more.

Goblin slaves can live together in shacks and raise them like livestock, but these refugees cannot.

Therefore, Murphy had to speed up the construction of the other three small and medium-sized towns in order to resettle the refugees who had defected before winter came. As long as they can persist in harvesting in spring next year, the strength of the territory will suddenly grow!

Because the population doubled all of a sudden!

Murphy, who has always had ample food, couldn't help but have a headache about the food for the winter.

It’s true that there is only enough food in the territory to last a year, but that’s enough to feed about 8,000 people. Now more than 10,000 refugees have flooded in all of a sudden, plus goblin slaves, etc., the food is only enough to last until It will be spring next year.

From the beginning of spring to the harvest of wheat, there are three or four months. Murphy had to find a way to get another batch of grain to support the winter wheat harvest.

After two years of fighting against the wolf man, the food supply of the human city-state was a little tight.

It was not a problem to buy small batches of grain from them back then, but now that the war with the Wolf Man is over, it is not so easy to buy grain from the noble council. As a last resort, Murphy could only make two preparations. One was to send merchants to buy food at high prices from small and medium-sized nobles and merchants in the southern plains, and the second was to send a fleet to contact the half-elven group living behind the southern plains.

If a trade relationship can be reached with those half-elves, then the food problem should be solved.

For this reason, Murphy even sent Tobayes, the only diplomat in the territory.

………………

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

at dusk.

After placing the refugees collectively in the simple shacks, the exhausted Murphy hurried back to Athens.

It is impossible to absorb all these refugees in one go.

In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, Murphy must first disrupt them and reorganize them according to the army, then select the leader and assign army supervision. He didn't want something like a riot to happen accidentally. Therefore, in order to suppress and deter these refugees, Murphy also left behind eight groups of Greek heavy infantry with a total of 640 people.

General Leo Dalie was also left there by him to manage the refugees.

As long as these refugees can be digested reasonably, the citizens in the territory will undoubtedly be freed from tedious manual labor.

Actively train in a semi-professional military-like manner similar to Spartans.

There is no doubt that the future main combat power of the territory will still depend on the citizens of these cities.

Walking into the governor's mansion, Murphy changed his clothes under the service of the maid.

While it was still early, Murphy went to visit the mermaid who was currently residing in the pool in his backyard.

But when he entered today, he was stunned.

Because, he saw the fountain!

Yes.

A fountain made of marble, shells, and intricate runes, using some kind of special power!
