Summoning Total War

(It is said that trolls get paid to troll people in ***? There is such a good thing!)

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

Whether they are descendants of giants or orcs, these two races that are the protagonists on the earth are able to financially support other creatures.

But Murphy can't.

Athens was just a small territory, and all it could do was equip and maintain its own army. Therefore, in response to the demands put forward by the Centaurs, Murphy could only raise some equipment for them through trade from the human city-states in the southern plains. The greatest help is to be a little softer when squeezing their remaining value.

It was true that he was friendly to Milune, the beautiful little mare.

But this does not mean that Murphy is friendly to those centaurs who are still very primitive and savage.

Moreover, in his opinion, these centaurs are not so reliable.

Without the natural defense line of the Nidoria River, I'm afraid what they have to do is not cooperate but conquer directly.

………………

Governor's Palace, study.

Murphy quietly stared at the beautiful little mare Milune in front of him. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Do you need food?"

"Yes." Milun nodded slightly and responded.

After the defeat in the Salma Basin, many scattered centaur tribes were plundered by the Mammoth Vanguard Army. Although most of the surviving centaurs escaped, the grazing cattle and sheep could not be brought out. Except for the fast-running horses, the centaur tribe almost lost most of its livestock. In fact now they are on the verge of having to kill horses to satisfy their hunger.

"Weapons! I can buy iron ore from the southern plains and arrange for someone to forge it for you." Murphy looked at Milune in front of him, tapped his fingers on the table, and said slowly: "Armor, as long as you can afford the payment. I also have a way to get a batch for you."

"But only this food!" Murphy frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's really difficult."

As we all know, Murphy spent a lot of effort to obtain the current food in Athens from barbarian humans. Although the barbarians also farmed, they could not reach the scale of the plains humans. Therefore, the food accumulated in their hands is not very much. As for the noble council in the southern plains, they may have a lot of food in their hands, but they may not sell it to Murphy.

Especially when the half-beast *** army is moving abnormally.

The Jackal War lasted for nearly two years. During these two years, farming in almost the entire southern plains was greatly affected.

Young adults were conscripted into the army, and only some old and weak women and children were working in the fields. As a result, a reduction in grain production in the southern plains in the past two years is inevitable. This is because there is a relatively stable rear. Otherwise, if there is no harvest in the two years of war, the entire southern plain will have a food crisis. When a war breaks out, food problems will inevitably arise.

Murphy is really not sure about getting food anymore.

"Is there really no way?" Milune looked at Murphy sadly. Her eyes were big, and her pupils were golden, with a faint hint of green. Especially when she looked sad, she looked watery. a feeling of. This time when I came to Athens, in addition to reaching a cooperation agreement with Murphy, another important thing was to find a way to get a batch of grain.

Because the centaur tribe has lost a large number of cattle and sheep, if even the horses are eaten now.

So what should we do in the future?

"How long can your food last?" Murphy stared at Milune in front of him and said solemnly: "You must tell me the truth, so that I can think of ways to help you."

"One month." Milun leaned forward to meet Murphy's gaze and whispered: "If you kill the injured horse, you can still support it for one month."

"If there is no food at that time, the other horses will have to be killed."

Kill the horse! ?

Murphy was startled when he heard this. Murphy, the centaur tribe's horse, knew that it was far better and taller than the horses in the southern plains. It can be said that it is one of the most suitable horses in the world for large-scale training of heavy cavalry.

It would be too extravagant to kill such a precious horse like this.

"You can't kill the horse!" Murphy sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "If the horse is killed, what will you do next?"

All the horses have been killed and eaten by you.

It doesn't matter to you. If Athens wants to form a heavy cavalry corps in the future, where can they find such good horses?

After hearing this, Milun couldn't help but show a hint of gratitude on her delicate face. She didn't know what Murphy was thinking, but she simply thought that this human being was what she thought. If the horses are all killed and eaten, how can the tribe rely on them for grazing in the future?

"Yes." The beautiful little mare nodded slightly and said, "The five chiefs of the tribe are sending their most elite warriors to sneak behind the enemy to hunt mammoths for food. But the result is still unclear."

"Mammoth!?" Murphy said in shock: "Those mammoth people are keeping mammoths in captivity?"

He should have guessed it!

Since centaurs herd large numbers of horses, mammoths were also likely to keep mammoths in captivity.

"Yes." Milun glanced at Murphy strangely and said slowly: "The mammoths are said to have some of the blood of giants. Their ancestors are the descendants of a pure-blooded giant and an ancient mammoth. Mammoths Human priests can control mammoths, and in their wars with us, they always lead the charge with the mammoths, and then let the warriors charge behind the mammoths.”

"Otherwise, they will be dead by the time they reach us."

The centaur longbow can shoot through armor, but it is difficult to shoot down the thick-skinned mammoths in this world, and the size of the mammoths also provides cover for the mammoths. Before killing the mammoth rushing in the front row, it is difficult for the centaur archers to attack the enemies following the mammoth.

Like centaurs, mammoths treat mammoths similarly.

Mammoths are one of their foods, and due to the huge size of mammoths, it is very troublesome to make leather armor that they can use. In this way, mammoths, which are also huge in size, are a very practical material.

As a primitive and barbaric race, they really don't have much left except not eating their own people.

………………

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

Mammoth!

War Elephant Legion!

Murphy tapped his middle finger on the desk very rhythmically. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Is there any way you can get me some mammoths?"

"What do you want them to do?" The beautiful little mare had a puzzled expression on her face, and she whispered: "Except for those mammoth priests, it is difficult for other creatures to control those mammoths and make them obedient."

"And their meat doesn't taste good either."

Who said anything about eating them?

"I just ask you if you can get me a few mammoths." Murphy frowned and said slowly: "They are of very important use to me!"

Very important use?

Milune still had a puzzled expression on her face, but she still nodded and said: "There are still a dozen captured mammoths in the tribe, but most of them are injured. And it is also very difficult to transport them to this side of the river. Troublesome stuff.”

"It doesn't matter!" Murphy said with a smile on his face, "You just need to be responsible for sending them to the river."

"I'll take care of the rest!"

This is really good news!

This is the best news that Murphy has heard in a while.

………………

Murphy turned his head and glanced at the high priest beside him. Her soft face was very calm, and she just stared at him quietly. Since the last big change, her support for Murphy has undoubtedly improved a lot. Sometimes, she even deliberately delegates power to let Murphy be the leader of everything. As a person who is used to analyzing things, Murphy naturally understands how well-intentioned she is in doing so.

Murphy took out an account book from the drawer and handed it to Milun.

The beautiful little mare took it over doubtfully and raised her hand to read the contents. As a priest who believes in the "Earth Doctrine", she can understand most elven and human languages.

"This is the existing food in the territory of Athens. I can give half of it to assist you." Murphy stared at the beautiful little mare in front of him, looking at the surprised expression on her face, and said slowly: "But these food are the most It can only support your tribe for one more month."

"You still need to find a way to provide food for the remaining few months." Murphy paused for a moment when he said this. Seeing a trace of sadness appear on the little mare's beautiful face, he continued: "I can Show you a way out."

"As long as you can hold on until the winter wheat harvest this June, I will be able to provide you with a lot of food!"

"Enough food for everyone in your tribe to survive!"

Three months.

It's January now, and excluding the food aid from Murphy, there's still three full months to go.

The integrated Centaur tribe has a population of nearly 110,000. With such a huge base, even if it only provides the minimum amount of demand every day, it will consume a lot of food for three months!

Thinking of it, Milun's delicate eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkled again.

Murphy took out the oak coat of arms that Artoria had left for him from his pocket, handed it to the surprised Milun, and said in a deep voice: "Take it to the gathering place of half-elves. If If you can impress them, maybe the remaining food will be available."

The pretty little mare froze.

She stared at Murphy for a long time with her big, golden, watery eyes.

Sudden!

She opened her arms and hugged Murphy, leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips, saying softly: "You are a good person."

The high priest was finally moved.
