Summoning Total War

Chapter 177 The new general——Elizabeth (Part 1)

(There is another update today. I am asking for five ***s. I haven’t recommended them for a long time. I would like to put a few ***s on a classification list. I hope they can be used as recommendations. Thank you!)

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

The southern front where Murphy is located is not bad. Although there is the threat of orcs, they are probably also overwhelmed by the sudden changes. Coupled with the losses in the First World War in Athens, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive without one or two years. Make something more. As for the Karazhan Mountains, because powerful creatures such as the Karazhan Hurricane Pterosaur and Shadow Leopard live there, the trouble caused by the mutated beasts is much less than in other places.

Of course, the white dragon living north of Athens also contributed to this.

It is precisely because of its existence that many mutated beasts risk their lives and run elsewhere. The world is huge, and how can beasts that have developed a lot of intelligence after mutation and evolution be willing to move within the territory of a white dragon? Except for creatures like the Shadow Leopard that could escape the white dragon, most of the other mutated beasts within Athens ran elsewhere under the threat of the Karazhan Hurricane Pterosaur and the migrating white dragon.

So in comparison, Athens has much less trouble at the moment.

After all, under a potentially big danger, a lot of the small dangers that existed around him were eliminated invisibly.

This can be regarded as an unpredictable gain and loss.

………………

It is July, Year 376 of the Second Age.

Since the establishment of the university, Murphy has arranged adult education that has lasted for nearly a year. Although the effect is not immediate, at least the citizens of Athens who are talented in this area have begun to learn writing, mathematics, music, etc. At present, there are no talents recognized by the "Total War" auxiliary system as having general talents, but a large number of junior officers and officials have been trained in batches from universities.

The requirements for officials in this era are not too high, and Murphy does not require them to know anything about bureaucracy.

Be able to read, count, and obey orders.

As long as these three conditions are met, Murphy will be a useful talent.

Another surprising thing is that a small group, that is, among the indigenous people who were initially included in Athens, actually began to appear in the statistics of the "Total War" auxiliary system. In other words, they are calculated into the core citizen statistics of the upgraded city. This is a gratifying discovery, because it means that under the cultural influence of more than a year, the indigenous people have begun to be assimilated by Athens.

The number of these aboriginal citizens was not large, less than a hundred in total.

But this is already a very good start. Murphy believed that over time, more and more native people would be assimilated into Athens.

Also, it's worth mentioning.

These indigenous people recognized by the auxiliary system are all believers of Kratos, the God of War, and they are also indigenous warriors who survived the Orcs' battle. Murphy is still unable to determine what conditions were achieved that completely attracted and assimilated these people. Maybe it's the power of Kratos, the God of War (Kratos, the God of War is now a medium god), or maybe it's the epic victory in the battle between the Orcs.

However, at least this proves that assimilation is possible.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Athens’ slow-growing population!

………………

"Lord Governor! This is what you want!"

After inspecting the port and handling some issues that required his approval, he immediately rushed back to the Governor's Mansion. At this time, a member of the general's bodyguard also delivered what he needed to him.

Murphy reached out to pick up the package, nodded to the guard in front of him, and waved to indicate that he could go down.

The study room had been tidied up again, and after making sure no one was disturbing him, Murphy closed his mind and opened the strategic map page of the "Total War" auxiliary system. Now, as the scope of activities of Athens citizens increases, the maps explored by the "Total War" auxiliary system are no longer limited to Athens. It can be said that the current southern plains and some surrounding areas with human activities have been included in the data statistics of the "Total War" auxiliary system.

But for now, the strategic map has only reached a basic level of data.

That's rough statistics.

The strategic map within Athens can be as detailed as every mountain peak and every forest, but the strategic map of other places can only be a vague outline.

If you put it in game terms, it is the difference between a large map and a small map.

A detailed small map has been generated for the territory of Athens, but for the rest of the southern plains, Murphy only has a large strategic map.

What he has to do today is simple.

——Just draw the map!

Anyone who is knowledgeable about military affairs knows the huge significance of maps in war!

But when Murphy opened the strategic map of the "Total War" auxiliary system, he needed some time (it can be opened only by meditation), and at that time he had little awareness of the outside world.

This is quite dangerous.

Not only should the map be in his hands alone, but the Athenian generals also needed a large map.

Because future battles are not limited to Athens, Murphy cannot personally direct them all. If multi-front battles are needed in the future, then the Athenian generals have a sophisticated map far beyond this era, which will undoubtedly add many chips to victory.

Silvery white powder was sprinkled on the sheepskin.

"Magic trick!" Murphy's mental power far beyond that of ordinary people allows him to cast low-level spells instantly. Of course, strictly speaking, it only shortens the casting speed to about one second, and it cannot be regarded as instantaneous in the true sense. hair. Because the strict standard of the latter is that there is no need for a spell, as soon as an idea appears, the spell is completed.

The unique quill floated into the air, and the parchment paper on the table was spread out neatly.

Among the mage's low-level spells, there are several that must be learned and are very practical. Magic tricks, reading, and copying are undoubtedly at the forefront. But people usually like to call magic tricks - the hands of the mage!

"Scribe!"

After casting the spell, Murphy slowly closed his eyes, and then opened the strategic map page in the "Total War" auxiliary system.

Scribe is a small level 0 spell, mainly used to copy magic scrolls. It can help the caster to copy the complicated magic spells and magic marks in the memory and burn them on parchment with some rare materials.

It is a required spell for almost all spellcasters!

certainly.

Murphy is not trying to copy some magic spells or make some magic scrolls.

What he has to do now is simple.

That is to use the combination of two level 0 spells, 'magic trick' and 'transcription', to copy the strategic map of the auxiliary system that emerged in his mind at this moment. As we all know, Murphy has no mentor on the path of arcane practice. Under normal circumstances, people like this who have no mentor but are extremely talented will come up with some incredible ideas.

Murphy's painting skills are not very good, and he has to draw a precise strategic map like the auxiliary system of "Total War".

I'm afraid that just painting skills may not be useful, and it may take a staggering amount of time to meet the requirements. Murphy's time was very tight and he couldn't spare a huge amount of time to make maps.

Then he came up with an incredible idea.

He wanted to try if he could use magic to draw the map of the auxiliary system in his mind.

Magical tricks combined with scribalism.

Two simple level 0 magics came into operation under the control of Murphy's mental power. The quill rose into the air and landed on the parchment, and then started drawing at a fast speed. Human hands will shake when painting, but this will not be the case under the control of the 'Mage's Hand'. Coupled with the level 0 spell of Scribe, it unexpectedly achieved the same amazing effect as the printer in the previous life.

Half an hour later, the first map was completed.

Murphy opened his eyes and touched the magic, then picked up the cup on the side and drank several mouthfuls of water.

Although the two level 0 spells do not consume a lot of magic power, they consume a lot of energy. After all, it is not easy to draw a precise map.

After taking a short break to catch his breath, Murphy took action again.

He needs three large maps, one to keep in Athens, one to keep in his own hands, and the other to give to the general Leodalius.

An hour and a half later.

Three large maps were completed. Looking at the maps that were far beyond the level of this era, Murphy couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

He now finds that magic is really useful.

As long as your ideas are not bound by traditional thinking, many incredible things can be done with magic. However, his abilities are still quite limited right now, and many spell combinations are beyond the reach of a level 2 mage.

When I opened the door and walked out of the study, it was already noon.

Murphy called a maid to ask, and then he found out that Mrs. Elizabeth had woken up and was waiting for him in the hall.

The sun is shining brightly.

After handing the two maps to his personal guards and ordering them to be delivered to General Leo Dallie and General Jerry Rivard respectively, he strode towards the hall.

Last night he and Lady Elizabeth only discussed some general arrangements.

Many details still need to be discussed, and in the formation of the mercenary union, although Athens is the backing in his name, an indigenous agent still needs to come forward.

There is no doubt that Lady Elizabeth is the best candidate.

But when Murphy saw Mrs. Elizabeth again, he was suddenly stunned by a system reminder sound in his ears.

"Ding! This person has extraordinary talents in internal affairs! You can try to recruit her as a general in Athens!"
