Summoning Total War

.October, Year 377 of the Second Age.

The second crop cultivation in Athens achieved very good results. Under the fertile fields of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the natural phosphate fertilizer in the Nidoria River Delta, the crops cultivated in Athens for the second season have gradually matured. About a month, which is 11

Harvesting can begin around the middle of the month.

Although the yield of crops planted in the second season may decrease, at least 80% of the income from the first season crops can be achieved.

This means that when two-season farming is officially implemented next year, Athens' grain income will double, so that Athens will become inexhaustible, and Murphy must once again expand the warehouse for storing grain! At the same time, news spread that Athens could successfully cultivate two crops of food a year after improving agriculture and developing diversion canals for irrigation. Almost at the same time, a large number of spies began to enter the Principality of Athens.

This time, they were not trying to find out any secrets. The guards inside Athens were so tight that they could not find out anything at all.

These spies were sent out with only one purpose, and that was to find out how Athens improved agriculture, what the canal irrigation system was like, and what they used to cultivate crops in the second quarter. ! For a race, food is the most important resource. Now that Athens has successfully improved the farming method of two seasons a year, it can be said that the agricultural process of the entire world has been greatly improved. If it is a natural system The great druid has improved this new agricultural system, and it is very possible that he can even use this to become a god of agriculture with weak divine power!

agriculture?

This kind of priesthood is too weak, even if Murphy has the ambition to become a god, he has no interest in it.

Among the priesthoods of the twelve main gods of Ocupipus, there is one priesthood, and its subordinate priesthood includes agriculture, and below it is the god in charge of agriculture. Agriculture is a priesthood that is easy to get involved. Generally speaking, The subordinate priesthoods of many gods contain part of the power of the agricultural priesthood. Such a priesthood is like a mass product, and as long as there are ideas, many gods can get involved.

Jiang Fei didn't care about the prying eyes from the outside world.

His intention is to change the entire world and get the world away from the trajectory of dark civilization and enter a period of vigorous development after the enlightenment of civilization. If you want civilization to develop, you must increase the productivity of the entire world. This improvement cannot be a pathological explosive growth, but must be acceptable to the world and in line with the progress of the world.

Otherwise, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the entire world.

Athenian canal irrigation and agricultural improvements were now officially taking shape, and Murphy didn't mind at all that others wanted to imitate the past. The new agricultural system was promoted, which was exactly what he wanted. As this new agricultural system spread widely, he would be hindered from unifying the southern plains and establishing a new order in the future. will become smaller and smaller.

In fact, under the layers of suppression by Athens, the power of the Parliament of Nobles has completely disappeared!

The nobles directly under the three Grand Dukes of the Noble Council are doing better, and other fringe factions have even begun to move closer to Athens. Now everyone understands one thing, that is, the conflict between Athens and the three archdukes is bound to break out one day, and there is no way to ease this conflict! Because Murphy will not allow the three Grand Dukes to continue to hold power, and the three Grand Dukes may not be willing to hand over their power willingly!

This kind of conflict that is difficult to alleviate will eventually lead to the outbreak of war and use force to solve everything.

However, public opinion has always been on Murphy's side, which makes the three Grand Dukes of the Noble Council unable to use it even though they have powerful power. Athens is an independent territory. Even the noble assembly has no way to mobilize it, and it is even more impossible to send troops to it. Let's not talk about external threats and public opinion. Athens, they can't defeat it in a head-on confrontation alone. Athenian army.

But Murphy also has no way to defeat the three Grand Dukes of the Noble Council. Maybe he will never lose in the war, but there is no way for him to win. The reason is also very simple, that is, the Athenian army is not enough, and the talents are not enough. With the strength he has now, even if he has the ability to defeat the armies of the three archdukes, he cannot occupy the entire city with such a few people. Southern plains.

Not to mention the establishment of a unified political power later!

Stalemate.

Now it's a stalemate, with neither side having the strength to swallow the other.

But since it is a stalemate, there will naturally be time for the stalemate to be broken. Athens is seizing the time to strengthen its strength, while the noble council is enjoying the pleasure that power has brought to them in the last period of time as the dusk falls. Despair and madness, Athens overwhelmed them in everything. The only thing Athens lacked was a little time and a little accumulation. With just a little more of this, Athens could defeat the aristocratic council that was so corrupt and full of loopholes at any time. , gaining the right to rule the entire human city-state in the southern plains.

There is no way to hinder and suppress, and you can only watch your opponent grow stronger and weaker. This is what the great nobles in the noble council have to face, a sad but helpless thing.

If Murphy just wanted to be emperor and become the first king in human history, they might welcome him.

Because the power of Athens can protect mankind and lead the entire mankind to prosperity, and Murphy himself is also the leader of wise creatures and a victorious general! But Murphy's ambition is not just to unify the entire southern plains, he also wants to change the entire human world and formulate a new order for the entire human civilization. This new order will undoubtedly greatly take away the power from the hands of the nobles. , and concentrated these powers on the leader and the entire country.

The power of hereditary rule in the nobility will no longer exist. The nobility will become just a nobler status, and the power will be distributed to officials. The power of officials is granted by the state. These powers will no longer belong to individuals. , the country has the ability to take it away at any time. This means that Murphy intends to completely crush the hereditary rule of the nobles over the territory!

These, for today's nobles, are undoubtedly their lifeblood!

Just like Murphy didn't dare to go on a killing spree and use force to unify the southern plains, this was his concern. He absolutely did not want to cause chaos similar to the chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which eventually led to the Wuhu chaos in China! With the current internal and external troubles in the southern plains, he must preserve the overall strength of the human race while excluding dissidents. Otherwise, even if he unifies the human world, he will not be able to fight against external crises.

The same is true. The system promoted by Murphy made the indigenous nobles want to move closer to Athens, but they were unwilling to give up the hereditary power of the nobles.

Under the tide of the times, there will inevitably be some die-hards.

The nobles have inherited the power for thousands of years, even if they give up so easily, unless they have to, they can enjoy it for as long as they can. After all, under the current system, their fiefdoms are like theirs. The Si people's kingdom, they are the kings of these small kingdoms, possessing unparalleled supreme power!

Second Age Era 377, November.

The growth of Athens has been unstoppable! More and more talented people moved into Athens with their families. Many small and medium-sized nobles adjacent to the Principality of Athens also expressed their willingness to give up the control of their territories and only retain the inheritance rights of the land and the identity of the nobles. They merged their territories into the Principality of Athens. among. In just one or two days, the territory of the Principality of Athens expanded again, reaching the size of nearly half of the province in the previous life!

Although they had no choice but to make these decisions, they also had little choice. With the second season of crops harvested and Athens having sufficient money and supplies, Murphy is now training troops on a large scale. This is news that can be known without sending any spies. Athens has now raised an army of more than 50,000 men. In addition to the Athenian Second Legion, which is composed of elite troops, it also includes a large number of militia and indigenous reserves.

Many aboriginal mercenaries have begun to give up their mercenary careers, join the reserve team of Athens, and receive a military salary to live off!

These small and medium-sized nobles near the Principality of Athens have become deeply aware that Athens, the increasingly large war machine, is already planning to sharpen its blades and expand externally. If they don't make a choice early, they may not be able to retain even the most basic land inheritance rights. Under the huge army of Athens, they, who were only part of the aristocratic parliament, had no room for resistance at all.

Late November.

With the establishment of the Athens Military Department and War Coordination Office, Athens also began to send out troops to take over the defense of various places. Even some areas governed by the Noble Council were included in the territory of Athens for military defense and military clearing. When the powerful Athenian army began to intervene, the demonized cave people who were rampant throughout the southern plains were severely damaged!

The gray dwarves converted to the faith of the God of Fire and Forging, allowing Athens to have a large number of skilled blacksmiths, and the iron ore mines that had been semi-operational before were fully operational. With the support of strong liquor and faith, these gray dwarves burst out with powerful productivity. Each piece of sophisticated equipment was manufactured as if it were an assembly line!

The equipment replaced by Athens' elite troops also began to be used in militia reserves in various places.

Before Murphy was determined to break the deadlock between the two forces in the southern plains, he was not eager to start a war against the noble council. Instead, he first attacked some of the demonized cavemen who were rampant in the southern plains, and at the same time began to have a large-scale plan. ...1 to regain the lost land, regain the land inhabited by demonized cavemen and undead spirits, and eliminate these existences that have been threatening the lower classes of mankind for a year!

At the same time, the Principality of Athens also promulgated a shocking new decree!

That is to completely abolish the "right of first night" in the hands of nobles! Any noble will no longer have the power to exercise the right of first night! And you cannot in any way ask for the wealth to buy the right to the first night from the poor at the lower levels!

This decree is not limited only to the Principality of Athens, but directly points to the entire human city-state!

For a time, there was an uproar in the southern plains.
