In other words, you can call him the Viscount, or the Earl. He is the lord of Athens. He can name his son himself as a title as much land and strength as he has. But once he is given the title of Earl by the noble parliament, it means that his original identity as the governor of Athens has been frozen on a small Count. It also means that in the future, those indigenous nobles who have the status of marquis and grand dukes will be fundamentally one head higher than him!

This is something Murphy absolutely cannot accept.

From an earl to a marquis, and then from a marquis to a grand duke, according to the promotion rules of the indigenous people of this world.

It may take hundreds of years of hard work for generations!

How could Murphy be foolishly drilled into the condom set up for him by the noble council! As long as Athens has enough strength, even those who crowned himself king would have no choice.

How could Murphy, who has always been cautious, leave a hidden danger on himself in this matter?

Besides, I changed my approach.

The woman, Mrs. Elizabeth, possessed the title of Marquis. Although Murphy was severely damaged in the battle of the Orcs, her territory and strength were several times that of her. Even she was under the title of Marquis. How could Murphy fall under the command of a small earl?

If the noble council directly gave him the title of Grand Duke, he might have agreed.

But this is obviously impossible.

……………………

The war is over.

Although Athens lost a lot of strength, it began to recover quickly after the war.

The far-reaching influence brought by this battle is definitely beyond everyone's estimate, because humans in the entire southern plain know that in a place in the northwest, there is a small human territory, with a population of less than 30,000 to 40,000 people, but they are extremely powerful warriors! The fearless warrior among them is called "Sparta", which is a name that can bring power when shouted out!

Even the dwarf kingdoms in remote areas knew that the human race had emerged with powerful soldiers, and they even defeated the half-beast army several times their own.

then.

This year is 376 in the Second Era.

Human beings finally have their own powerful warrior with symbolic significance.

They are called - Sparta!

June 13, 376, the Second Era.

This is a day recorded by the world and a day remembered by all creatures of all races.

This day.

Very unusual!

The winter wheat harvest in Athens has been half completed, and the pain caused by the war has been buried in my heart. Athens' citizens still have to work hard to make a better life in the future.

After nearly a month of absorption, the total population of Athens has recovered to more than 35,000 again.

There is also the role of alliances, because each of the small and medium-sized nobles surrounded Athens extracted one or two hundred serfs from each of them to develop farmland for Murphy. This population is not too many for those nobles who have not experienced wars and operated for hundreds of years, but it is very important for Athens. Because each lord and noble nobleman has a few hundred people, and the combined population is thousands. After all, the terrain of the northern line of the southern plain determines that there are many noble territories distributed around it. With the two large mountains of the Karazan Mountains and the Zangala Mountains, it is difficult for the noble territories on the northern line to form a real great noble territories.

This is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Elizabeth has a low reputation in the noble council.

Because she is the one with the highest title among the nobles in the Northland.

In return, Murphy signed an alliance agreement with them, as well as a contract of protection in the future if war broke out.

Murphy's credibility was proven when he helped Mrs. Elizabeth regain his territory.

Although there are some gossips with peachy aura here.

The strong always have weak people to rely on!

This is one of the laws of the world.

Although the orcs have evacuated the southern plains, their strength has not completely collapsed. Their army still exists, and as long as the army is still there, they still have the ability to invade the southern plains again.

Athens has proved its strength to everyone.

Almost all the small and medium-sized nobles in the Northern Line region realized one thing, that is, only by relying on the banner of Athens can we face possible wars that may break out in the future.

Although the power of Athens was severely damaged, the will of soldiers and leaders was baptized by war.

These invisible wealth are truly precious!

It cannot be measured by value!

……………………

This day.

Murphy got up very early, but he woke up early today, who had always had a strict biological clock.

Then I couldn't sleep any more.

This is a very strange phenomenon, but he can't figure it out.

It was just dawn, and Murphy put on his clothes under the service of Angela and the Bell, and then walked towards the Leader's Temple.

today.

He was a little uneasy.

When he arrived at the Temple of Leadership, Murphy unexpectedly discovered that the High Priest had woken up early today. Not only that, the spokespersons of the other two gods in the Athenian territory also gathered in the Temple of Leadership.

The meaning of this represents is a bit different!

Something very important must be happening!

Murphy frowned and walked slowly into the temple. He glanced at the high priest and turned his gaze to Helen, the priest of the god of love and beauty, and the chief priest of the god of war with a solemn face.

Murphy came to the three of them, sat down on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I feel a little uneasy today."

The high priest looked up at him, and then turned his gaze to the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and then nodded slowly.

The priest of the God of War was expressionless, but nodded.

Helen didn't say anything, but looked at the sky thoughtfully, nodding without saying a word.

Murphy was stunned and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The three chief priests felt uneasy as he was at the same time. What exactly does this mean?

……………………

This day.

About one hundred and fifty kilometers away from Athens, like Murphy, Rose Tyrande, the moon-under-walking man with the blood of the high elf, also woke up early. She frowned slightly, looked up at the still bright sky, pondering and silent.

But for some reason, her slender fingers trembled slightly.

……………………

Orc Empire.

On a magnificent altar, dozens of old-looking shamans stood solemnly around. In the middle of the altar, a large shaman holding a scepter tightly closed his eyes, but his body was trembling slightly. The totem poles standing around the altar emitted a faint light, and a chilling aura filled with it.

After a long time, the great shaman with an extremely noble status opened his eyes.

He looked around and finally set his sight on a majestic orc. He slowly said in an old and hoarse voice: "Sir Chief. Please order the soldiers who are withdrawing from the battlefield on the Northern Front!"

"The real era has arrived..."

……………………

Mountains in the Clouds, Morendo Mage Tower, Emerald Dream, Underground Core, Overseas Dragon Island...

Almost all the places on this land that contain mysterious power have sensed something about Murphy.

A strange dullness condensed over the entire world.

……………………

The hinterland of the Karazan Mountains, deep within 1,500 meters underground.

This is a hidden and dark place, the air is filled with a breath of turbulence and erosion. There are stones emitting faint phosphorescence on the walls. Although it illuminates the surrounding environment, it sets up here as gloomy and terrifying as a ghost.

Countless hawks entrenched in the nest.

Although they have not successfully escaped the curse of ancient times to restore the memory of the elves, with the efforts of those advanced hawks who have successfully evolved, they have begun to restore a little wisdom.

Evanna, the queen of the hawk, flew in the air with her pure white wings.

Her face was solemnly surrounded by dozens of high-level hawk priests on an extremely magnificent altar.

"My people!"

"The time has come to return to the surface world! We will stay away from this dark and wet underground! Stay away from this place where you will never see the sun, rain, dew, flowers and plants!"

"The real era of the era has arrived!"

"No one can stop us from returning to the ground! No one can stop us from living in the sun!"

“Whoever tries to stop us!”

"They are our enemies! We want to tear them completely!"

……………………

Countless identical scenes are happening underground.
