Summoning Total War

?

Murphy looked at the invisible mountain giant in front of him. Although it had great potential in the "Total War" auxiliary system and its combat power was quite good, when Murphy saw its invisible figure, he really felt a little... It's incredible, for someone so big, it's really incompetent. No matter how powerful you are, there is probably a limit, right?

After all, physique affects strength to a great extent, just like humans cannot be stronger than orcs who are much stronger.

At this height, although this person is still just born, he is so big that Murphy is embarrassed to go out. Behind him is a mountain giant.

"Come on, show me your throwing ability." Murphy looked at the Dot in front of him, wondering what kind of strength it had.

If spending a fragment of the godhead had no effect, Murphy would have to cry to death!

The small mountain giant seemed to understand what Murphy said. Although it did not understand human language, the mountain giant was a creature that was not too intelligent but had a strong learning ability. It understood what Murphy said. The meaning is not difficult, because they originally have knowledge inheritance in the soul. Buidian walked around twice, looking around with his eyes made of two black gemstones, and finally selected a boulder that didn't match its size at all.

"!" I saw the mountain giant shouting his name naively, and then very easily lifted the boulder, which was estimated to be over five tons, with one hand. Because of his heavy physique, he couldn't bear the pain on his feet. The pressure I endured at 20 o'clock was so great that half of my body sank into the dirt. Everyone should have studied physics and mathematics, and know that the larger the area a force acts on, the greater the effect. Not to mention that the size of giants is too large, and there is no way for feet to disperse tons of mass to the ground under their feet. , so it was forced to sink under the pressure of this force.

This time it sank to the point where it was almost invisible.

The newly born mountain giant is still like a child who doesn't understand anything. Although he has inherited knowledge, it is impossible to accept it all at once. This kind of knowledge inheritance is like a library database, which takes time to be digested slowly. So as soon as the body sank, it suddenly became a little panicked. It threw away the several-ton boulder in its hand, and then hurriedly crawled out of the sunken soil.

Touch one by one! ! !

There was a dull loud noise. Although it was just thrown casually, the boulder was still thrown nearly a hundred meters away, creating a deep pit on the ground, which was almost comparable to the range of some catapults. and lethality.

The Athenian soldiers who were standing around were suddenly dumbfounded.

They stared at the mountainous giant in front of them with eyes full of disbelief and a hint of fear, unconsciously classifying him as extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than a drunken Panda Master. With such a terrifying power, you can easily pick up a stone weighing several tons and throw it nearly a hundred meters away. If such a terrifying force acts on a person, you may accidentally crush it into a pulp.

But there is still a sense of pride on their faces, because they saw Murphy create such a powerful creature with their own eyes!

The great Governor put a piece of crystal into a mysterious metal box, and then a terrible storm appeared out of thin air, and then this giant with strange power appeared. Although some were afraid of its terrifying power, these Athenian soldiers knew that it was their ally. Having such a powerful ally was undoubtedly something that made them very happy.

"!!" Budian crawled out from the sunken soil, his big eyes suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

It bent down awkwardly and used its hands made of snow-white granite to brush off the dirt on its feet. It looked like a good boy who loved to be clean. This appearance immediately amused Murphy. He waved it over and took it towards Athens. Although the newly born mountain giant is still a bit childish and cute, and its physique is very small, as long as you give it some time, it will grow up slowly in the future. At that time, it was a very important combat force in Athens, and could even be used as a deterrent force equivalent to strategic-level nuclear weapons!

Any enemy who wishes to fight against Athens must be prepared to face an epic mountain giant. Of course, there is also the snake oil-level swamp hydra under Murphy!

After Budian was born, Murphy sent him to the cave connected to the underground world in the Karazhan Mountains to be taught by the epic mountain giant. Its identity is too special to appear directly in the city of Athens. It is different from the Panda Brewmaster. The latter is a creature made of flesh and blood, while it is made entirely of rocks. The gap between it and humans is really big. .

When the piece was delivered to the hands of the epic mountain giant, Murphy could completely feel the joy of the mountain giant who had existed for a long time and had almost divine power. He carefully pinched the piece with two thick fingers. , then placed it on the palm of his hand and held it in front of himself.

Even Murphy felt happy when he saw that attentive and cautious look.

"Humans! They are indeed worthy of trust!" The epic mountain giant made a thick, dull but joyful voice. It looked at the extremely slim Murphy at its feet and said slowly: "I feel a trace of the spirit of the gods in its body. Breath, this powerful force can make it surpass all mountain giants!"

"including me!"

The inheritance of blood can surpass his own achievements, which makes this epic mountain giant very happy.

It bowed its huge body and gently pressed its other hand on its abdomen. Then the granite that made up the body began to separate to the left and right, revealing a stone half a meter in diameter and shining with countless arcane brilliance. It seems that after the mountain giants grow to a certain extent, they can open up some space in their bodies for storing things.

I have to say, this is really the most secure vault on land.

"This is an item left over from the arcane era. It can be used to control the living fossil golem. I have reconstructed the power of the earth as the core inside. As long as the runes on this ring are activated, it can Use." The epic mountain giant sent another almost invisible obsidian ring to Murphy.

"Now I need to teach it. It still has a lot of knowledge to learn." After that, the mountain giant walked towards the depths of the Karazhan Mountains with Bu Dian.

Mountain giants do not need to eat like ordinary flesh and blood lifeforms. Their power comes from the mountains and the earth. Absorbing the energy of the underground magnetic field is an indispensable part of their growth. This epic mountain giant is now eager to teach guys how to Eating'! It doesn't have much time left. With the invasion of the abyss and the gathering of the power of death, as the spirit of the earth, it feels very clearly that it must seize the time!

"!!" Although they only got along for a short time, it was created by Murphy after all, so Budian was quite attached to it. He stood on the palm of the huge mountain giant and kept looking down, repeating own name.

Murphy waved his hand and immediately sat down calmly without looking at it.

It's hungry.

This larger creature, perhaps its father, is now preparing to take it to eat.

Murphy came to the stone left by the epic mountain giant. It was a stone half a meter in diameter with countless arcane radiances shining on it. Murphy didn't know what the stone was made of, but it definitely looked different. Like an ordinary stone. The stone is rectangular, with arcane runes on its surface, forming a magic circle that covers a wide area.

There are arcane words on the front, which translates to "golem guard" and there are several arcane words behind it that Murphy doesn't recognize.

It may be a text unique to a certain healer.

"Ding! An unknown strange object was found! The "Total War" auxiliary system is automatically scanning! Scan to open the spider's heart. "Ding!" System scan completed! Data security is in progress..."

As the sound of the "Total War" auxiliary system sounded, the stone bar in front of Murphy also had an additional row of data display.

"Stone Golem Control Panel: This is an alchemical product born in the glorious period of arcane magic. The cumbersome and complex runes imprinted on it undoubtedly prove the brilliance of that generation! Although this incomplete stone slab has been lost It has most of the functions, but after the mountain giants restored it, it also has some other functions."

"This was once a terrifying war machine, but now it can only be used to protect certain places. Before activating it, three stone statues made of marble or granite must be carved. The level of sculpture manufacturing is It will affect the combat effectiveness of the stone statue after it is activated."

Stone Golem! ?

Is this a product of the legendary glorious arcane era?

Murphy looked at the stone slab in front of him and could immediately imagine an era that was more glorious and dazzling than the earth's mechanical civilization in the previous life! The complicated arcane runes and criss-crossing magic marks on it are no simpler than the dizzying circuit map in the previous life! This kind of alchemy process, in which arcane civilization has reached its peak, is already comparable to the robots in science fiction blockbusters on Earth in previous generations!

"Stone sculpture? Level determines combat effectiveness?" Murphy ordered the general guards behind him to lift it and prepare to transport it back to Athens for processing.

Can't be used for offense?

That doesn't matter, this thing is absolutely powerful for defense!

As for the level of sculpture, Murphy has nothing to worry about. Athens' level of sculpture craftsmanship is definitely the best in the world! Basically, more than half of the artists in Athens are engaged in sculpture art, and the remaining half can also be top stonemasons! Otherwise, how could it be so easy for Athens to build such a large scale!

Have you not seen how beautiful and delicate the sculpture of a naughty woman in the Murphy Bath is? ———————————————————————————————————————————

In the second era, it's the first ten days of June.

Calm and chaos intertwined across the entire continent. After harvesting the winter wheat in Athens, Murphy began to implement the second plan to consolidate the power after the establishment of the principality, which was to transform the entire principality system towards the model of a feudal empire. Of course, !

Murphy will not recklessly change all the systems at once. He needs time and needs to carry out his own reforms in a way that will not cause too fierce conflicts and cause a backlash among the nobles of the entire human city-state. This kind of reform will reorganize a new order in the human world and serve Murphy to unify the entire southern plains and rule the entire human city-state.

Conquering is easy, but ruling is hard!

Murphy must first leverage the system of the human city-state, which has existed for thousands of years and is increasingly decaying and collapsing, but still deeply rooted. Promulgating a decree prohibiting the use of humans as slaves is just a simple temptation, and Murphy's plan has just begun!

feudal system.

A historical transition centered on feudal land ownership.

In the West, all land belongs to the king. The king seals the land to nobles and heroes, and the nobles seal part of their land to their cronies. In this way, the layers of land are divided, which eventually leads to a phenomenon, that is, "my vassal's vassal" Not my vassal...". This is the biggest drawback of the Western feudal system, and it is also a system that Murphy cannot accept, because in this way, the cohesion of mankind in the entire southern plain will be divided into pieces, and the lords and nobles from all over the country will support themselves and control the world alone. In the end, it will become what the Parliament of Nobles is now.

In China, land ownership has been implemented since Shang Yang's reform. Landowners have absolute control over the land within their jurisdiction and can buy and sell it at will. During China's feudal system, landlords owned land and then leased the land to landless farmers, who then developed and cultivated the land themselves and paid land rent. This was the main social form at that time, but it also had some disadvantages, that is, there would be very serious land annexation in the later period!

During the Western feudal system, feudal lords not only occupied farmland, but also included the farmers who originally lived on this territory into their own account books, turning a large number of farmers into serfs.

Serfs were considered part of the lord's property, similar to slaves, except that they could only be used and not bought or sold.

Barely one episode better than Slave.

In China's feudal system, farmers had legal rights in name, but in fact due to various reasons, farmers did not have much freedom. This is the biggest difference in the underlying structure of the Eastern and Western feudal systems. It doesn’t matter whether we are free or not, that’s what those people with full bellies and nothing to do are entitled to. Like the lower-class serfs, instead of giving them freedom, it would be better to let them have enough to eat instead of starving and freezing.

serf!

That's where Murphy's first draw came.

Land is the most important resource, but even in the past century, how many people living in that generation owned their own land? Even the house you live in only has a certain number of years of use.

Murphy is not an idealistic person, and he has never thought about building a heaven on earth. That is impossible!

Of course socialism is even less possible.

He just wants to establish a more reasonable and relatively fair system that allows all those who work hard to have promotion channels and climb up step by step. The biggest prerequisite is to be able to adapt to this era and not cause a backlash of the entire era!

The core of Murphy's current plan, simply put, is to convert serfs into tenants!

That's right!

It’s the tenants!

Peasants who have nominal personal autonomy but no land, work for the aristocratic landlord class, and then pay grain rent.

Murphy cannot tolerate the aboriginal nobles from all over the country holding the land and establishing their own countries." Therefore, the first ownership of the land must belong to the principality itself! The second ownership belongs to the ruler of the principality, which is Murphy himself. , under the Grand Duke of the Principality of Athens. Until the third ownership, which was devolved to the hands of nobles, officials, soldiers and other people who owned land in various places.

The enfeoffed common land is personal property and can be bought and sold. It is a sacred personal property and is witnessed by the temple. Unless a serious crime is committed, not even the king can take it back without reason.

But the highest nominal ownership must belong to the principality itself!

It does not belong to those aboriginal nobles. Although these lands are owned by them, they were given by the principality, not their siwan kingdom. And the serfs among the aboriginal nobles are not the slaves they control, their personal property, but the people of the principality, the people of Murphy. No matter how humble their status is, even if they have never had so-called personal freedom, Murphy must give them nominal freedom.

Murphy prepared a new identity for these people struggling at the bottom.

That's the tenant.

They have no land and can only farm for the noble class. They are like slaves, but they are not slaves! ! .
