Summoning Total War

Chapter 3 The Establishment of the Principality—People’s Heart!

As night falls, there is only the last ray of bright red sunset left in the sky.

While Murphy was walking towards the Consul's Palace, a fast horse was also rushing towards the inner city of Athens along the official road without stopping. The knight on the horse had a face full of fatigue. He had obviously been working hard for a long time, but his expression was quite excited and he did not pause at all. When he arrived at the gate of the inner city of Athens, he slowed down slightly and took out a piece of cake from his waist. The dark iron waistband shouted: "Urgent military information! Open the city gate quickly!"

Due to the frequent mobilization of armies from various places during this period, the elite troops within Athens were sent to the outskirts of the Karazhan Mountains to station themselves. Therefore, Murphy, who has always been cautious, ordered a curfew and began to close the gates of the inner and outer cities of Athens before the sun set (about six o'clock in the evening). All entry and exit must be reported to the Public Security Department, and entry and exit from the inner city requires orders from the Military Intelligence Department.

Murphy's method actually managed to unearth many spies from the Noble Council from within the city of Athens.

But this was not what he expected. It was impossible for the noble council not to send someone to investigate such a large-scale military operation in Athens. However, ever since the Orcs stood idly by during the First World War, the relationship between Athens and the Nobles Council has completely gone cold. In the past, Murphy would look at the Nobles Council's transfer orders, but now he simply ignores them.

Although they both belong to the human alliance, the way the half-orcs fought against the noble council has really chilled Murphy's heart.

During the Jackal War, Athens mobilized all the soldiers in the city to help the noble council attack Canyon Pass. Nearly half of the soldiers in the territory suffered casualties! During the Orc War, Athens was trapped for a whole week. The aristocratic council watched and ignored the army. The army was only less than a hundred miles away from Athens, but it did not move at all. After defeating the half-orc army in a desperate battle, Murphy was completely pushed to the opposite side by the noble council.

In Middle Earth, there is an old saying.

——Repaying evil with kindness, how to repay kindness?

In Murphy's eyes, such a noble council no longer has the qualifications to cooperate with him.

Ever since he made up his mind to form an alliance with Lady Elizabeth and formulate a plan for the Principality of Athens, it was already destined that one day in the future, he would lead an army and raise his spear in the face of the decadent Parliament of Nobles, and wipe out what they owed them in the Orc War. of.

Take them all back! ! !

………………

"Urgent military information!" The dusty knight dismounted and ran quickly into the consul's palace, then handed over a letter hidden in his chest.

The knight's face was tired, his lips were dry, and his body was dusty and messy after riding a horse for more than six hundred miles. He could hardly stand still when he dismounted. But when he took out the letter hidden close to his body, it was still neat and white, with a faint scent of ink floating around.

The official serving in the parliament hall carefully took the letter, and then ordered the guard on the side: "Give him a room and let him go down and have a good rest!"

The knight's eyes were bloodshot, and he really needed a good rest.

Pushing open the door of the council chamber, the official placed the letter in front of Murphy, who was sitting at the long oak table, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Governor, urgent military information!"

"Military intelligence report?" Murphy stopped his discussion with several generals, reached out and picked up the letter he was sitting on and read it. He read it very slowly. He read the letter of just a few hundred words for ten minutes. After reading it, he closed his eyes and meditated for a moment without speaking. Instead, he handed the letter to General Jerry Rivard. After General Jerry Rivard read it, he handed it to another person. .

By the time everyone read the urgent military intelligence report sent from six hundred miles away, more than half an hour had passed.

The military intelligence document with a hint of ink scent was once again handed to Murphy's hands. He looked around, stared at the generals in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think?"

"The noble council can't sit still." General Jerry Rivard glanced at the generals who were sitting again and said.

"I'm afraid another war will break out on the border between the southern plains and the wilderness." General Rosa-Yate pointed to the map on the council table and continued: "The goblin kobold bandits who were first expelled into the southern plains were just for To cause chaos, the ears and eyes of underground races must be mixed in, and the purpose should be to find out the reality of human beings."

"The land in the southern plains is far more fertile than the wilderness. After determining that humans are not strong, those underground species have no reason to give up."

Murphy nodded slowly, looked at the generals sitting down, and said in a deep voice: "Go on."

"The threat from the underground species is not great yet. If the underground species launches an attack, it is impossible for the barbarian humans to sit idly by and ignore it. The key to the problem is that our current crackdown has aroused great public opinion, and this public opinion has been seriously shaken. This has increased the reputation of the Noble Council among the lower classes and the poor. I’m afraid they are really being pushed into a hurry this time.”

In a hurry?

"That's right." Murphy nodded appreciatively.

After the native species from the southern wilderness were driven into the southern plains by underground creatures, the entire southern plains entered a period of unprecedented turmoil. Goblin kobold bandits can be seen wandering between towns, so that trade between the entire southern plains and other races has been severely hindered. At the beginning, the noble council organized a clearing campaign, but because these bandits were so mobile, the nobles in various places were unwilling to divide their forces in order to protect themselves, which resulted in no results.

The establishment of the mercenary union restored tranquility to the areas around Athens.

What the world fears most is comparison. Once compared with Athens, this has become a criticism of the weakness of the noble council, which has led to the dissatisfaction of many middle and lower class people, especially businessmen. Originally, relying on the past prestige of the Noble Council, this matter was easily suppressed and passed away.

However, Athens' large-scale military clearance operation made them completely unable to sit still.

A city that has only been emerging for a few years has the ability and courage to carry out a comprehensive siege against spread alien bandits. However, a noble council that has ruled the southern plains for thousands of years has only the ability to protect itself from the harassment of these alien bandits, and is occasionally attacked by aliens. Bandits raided several villages and towns. Comparing these two comparisons, we can see the public sentiment of the entire southern plain.

The Parliament of Nobles has been rooted for thousands of years, and the prestige it has accumulated is not comparable to that of Murphy and the emerging Athens.

But it also has its disadvantages, that is, after thousands of years of accumulation, the aristocratic council has long been intertwined within it! The alliances between various great nobles are full of struggles for power and interests. Although the three Grand Dukes are nominal leaders, their abilities may not be able to fully mobilize the resources and connections of the entire Noble Council.

In Athens, as long as Murphy gives the order, all adult men can wear armor and go into battle to kill the enemy!

In Athens, with just one order from Murphy, the entire city instantly entered a state of full preparation for war!

All material wealth can be concentrated in his hands as war reserves, and all army soldiers obey his orders! This kind of charisma and cohesion accumulated with bloodshed and sweat step by step cannot be matched by those nobles in the noble council who can only give orders with white teeth!

In the Middle Earth, Emperor Taizu could mobilize the entire China with just one order. This is the terrifying energy possessed by the leader.

The power generated by this cohesion is very terrifying!

The cohesion and appeal are contagious. Anyone who has been to Athens will be infected by this thriving power. They will yearn to live in such a powerful city and have such a great leader. Just like a victorious general, he can fill the soldiers with hope of victory just by telling them his name.

In all of this, Murphy did not stand on a high platform and make empty speeches, loudly trying to outline a better future for the citizens. He did it step by step with blood and sweat during war and construction. From a dilapidated town to today's majestic city, Murphy used realistic changes to gradually consolidate his current prestige.

The territory of Athens may not be large, but the existence of Athens and the existence of Murphy have completely threatened the dominance of the Parliament of Nobles in the human city-state!

In a turbulent era, great leaders and powerful armies are what everyone desires.

Because only these can guarantee their safety! Only then can we lead mankind to win the future in this turbulent era!

………………

Surrounded by various races, in such an era when the entire human race is in crisis, the noble council has no way to openly resist and suppress the development of Athens, let alone directly send troops to Athens, let alone whether it can still defeat the extremely powerful Athens militarily. Athens, defeated the Spartan warriors who had become the strongest representatives of mankind. But the charge of provoking an intra-racial war has already destroyed the prestige of the Noble Council.

The guns are unanimously facing the outside world!

After experiencing the Jackal War and the Orc War, civil war is a bottom line that no human being can accept.

The Parliament of Nobles can hinder the development of Athens in many ways, but it cannot take the daring risk of openly breaking with Athens, not to mention that after the Orc War, Athens has become a heroic place in the eyes of the lower class people in the southern plains. If there cannot be a public break, and private tricks cannot threaten Murphy, who has formed a solid alliance with Lady Elizabeth, then what else can the noble council do now?

They had no choice, no choice.

They can only compete head-on with Athens and compete with Athens for the hearts and minds of the entire southern plain!

On the third day after Athens launched a comprehensive clean-up plan, several grand dukes in the Noble Council immediately held an important annual meeting of the Noble Council after urgent secret discussions. And after the second day, preparations began to be made to try again to eliminate the alien bandits who had fled into the southern plains.

This is a competition. Whoever wins will win the hearts and minds of the entire human city-state!
