Chapter 3: Establishment of the Principality - the hearts of the people!

As night falls, only the last touch of bright red sunset remains in the sky.

Just as Murphy walked towards the ruling government, a fast horse also rushed towards the inner city of Athens along the official road. The knight on the horse was exhausted and obviously had been working hard for a long time, but his expression was quite excited and did not stop at all. When he arrived at the inner city of Athens, he slowed down slightly, took out a dark iron-cast waist sign from his waist, and shouted: "Military information is urgent! Open the city gate!"

Due to frequent mobilization of troops in various places during this period, elite troops inside Athens were sent to the outer periphery of the Karazan Mountains. Therefore, Murphy, who had always been cautious, ordered a curfew, and the gates of the inner city and outer city of Athens began to be closed before the sun set (about 6 o'clock in the evening). All in and out of the city needed to be reported to the public security department, and the in and out of the inner city needed to be ordered by the Ministry of Military Information.

Murphy's method really brought out many spies from the noble parliament from Athens.

However, this was not beyond his expectations. It was impossible for the noble parliament to send people to inquire about such a large-scale military operation in Athens. However, since the Orcs fought against the noble parliament, Athens' relations have completely entered a state of coldness with the noble parliament. Murphy would look at the orders for the noble parliament before, but now he ignores them.

Although they belong to the human alliance, the orcs' practice of fighting against the noble council has really made Murphy feel cold.

In the War of Gnolls, Athens raised all the soldiers from the city to help the noble parliament attack the Canyon Pass, and nearly half of the soldiers were injured and killed in the territory! In the War of Half Orcs, Athens was trapped for a whole week. The noble parliament watched coldly and ignored it. The army was less than a hundred miles away from Athens, but it was not moving at all. After defeating the half-beast army with a desperate battle, Murphy was completely pushed to the opposite side by the noble parliament.

There is an old saying on the Earth in the Middle Earth.

——How to repay kindness with kindness?

In Murphy's eyes, such a noble council was no longer qualified to cooperate with him.

From the time he made up his mind to join Lady Elizabeth and planned the plan to set up the Principal of Athens, one day in the future he would lead a large army to raise his spear against the corrupt noble parliament, and owed what they had in the orc war.

Take them all back!!!

……………………

"Military information is urgent!" The dusty knight turned over and dismounted, rushed into the ruling government, and then handed over a letter hidden in his chest.

The knight's face was tired and his lips were dry. The fast horse whip of more than 600 miles made him messy and almost couldn't stand firm when he dismounted. But when he took out the letter he was hiding close to his body, it was still neat and white, with a faint fragrance of ink floating.

The officers serving in the parliamentary hall carefully took the letter and then ordered to the guards beside him: "Arrang a room for him and let him go down and have a good rest!"

The Knight's eyes were covered with blood, and he really needed a good rest.

Pushing open the door of the parliamentary hall, the official put the letter in front of Murphy, who was sitting at the long oak table, and said respectfully: "Governor General, the military is urgent to report!"

"Military emergency report?" Murphy stopped discussing with several generals, reached out to pick up the letter sitting on it and looked at it. He looked at it very slowly. He read the letter of only a few hundred words for ten minutes. After reading it, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, but did not speak. Instead, he handed the letter to the general Jerry Rivad on the side. After General Jerry Rivad finished reading it, he handed it over to another person.

After everyone read the urgent military emergency report sent by 600 miles, more than half an hour had passed.

The military documents with a scent of ink were handed to Murphy again. He looked around and looked 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 Rivad glanced at the generals who were sitting again and spoke.

"The border of the southern plains and wilderness is probably about to break out again." General Rosa Yat pointed to the map on the parliamentary table and then said: "The goblins, kowtows, who were first expelled into the southern plains, were just to cause chaos, and they must have been mixed with the eyes and ears of underground races, and the purpose should be to inquire about the reality of human beings."

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

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

"The threat of underground races is not great yet. If underground species launch an attack, barbarian humans will not be able to sit idly by. The key to the problem is that our clearing campaign this time has triggered great public opinion, and this public opinion has seriously shaken the reputation of the noble parliament among the lower class of poor people. I'm afraid they are really forced to do so this time."

Tormented?

"That's right." Murphy nodded in admiration.

After the native species in the southern wilderness were driven into the southern plains by underground organisms, the entire southern plain entered an unprecedented period of riots. Flying goblins, kowtows, robbers can be seen between towns, which has seriously hindered trade between the entire southern plain and other races. At that time, the nobles organized a clearance campaign, but because these robbers were too evasive, the nobles from all over the country were unwilling to divide their troops in order to protect themselves, which ended up ineffective.

The establishment of the Mercenary Union restored peace to the surrounding areas of Athens.

What the world fears most is comparison. Once compared with Athens, this has become a criticism of the weakness of the noble parliament, which has led to the dissatisfaction of many middle and lower class people, especially merchants. Originally, this matter relied on the previous prestige of the noble parliament and was suppressed by the way.

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

A new city that has only been emerging for a few years has the ability and courage to encircle and suppress foreign robbers. However, a noble council that ruled the southern plains for thousands of years has only spare no effort to protect itself under the harassment of these foreign robbers, and is often attacked by foreign robbers from time to time. By comparing these two, the will of the people in the entire southern plain can be seen.

The noble parliament 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, the internal internal of the noble parliament has long been intertwined with a thousand years of accumulation! The great nobles allied with each other, full of struggles between power and interests. Although the three great dukes were nominal leaders, their abilities were probably unable to completely gather the resources and connections of the entire noble parliament.

In Athens, with Murphy's order, all adult men can wear armor to kill the enemy!

In Athens, with Murphy's order, the entire city entered a state of full preparation in an instant!

All materials and wealth can be concentrated in his hands as war reserves, and all the soldiers of the army obeyed his orders! This appeal and cohesion that came step by step with blood and sweat was not comparable to those of the nobles who only gave orders with empty words and white teeth!

On the Middle Earth, Emperor Taizu could mobilize the entire China under the order. This is the terrible energy that the leader has.

The power generated by this cohesion is very terrible!

Cohesion and appeal can be infectious. Anyone who has been to Athens will be infected by this thriving force. They will yearn for themselves to live in such a powerful city and have such a great leader. Just like a victorious general, he can just tell the soldiers his name, and he can fill the soldiers with hope of winning.

All of this, Murphy did not stand on the platform to give a speech, loudly trying to outline a beautiful future for the citizens. He was doing it step by step with blood and sweat in the construction. From a dilapidated town to a magnificent city today, Murphy used the changes of reality to condense his current prestige step by step.

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

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

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

……………………

All races surrounded. In such an era when the entire human race was in crisis, the noble parliament could not openly fight against the development of suppressing Athens, and did not dare to send troops to Athens directly. Not to mention whether it could still defeat the extremely powerful Athens militarily and defeat the Spartan warriors who had become the representative of the strongest human power. However, the charge of provoking internal wars could also defeat the prestige of the noble parliament.

Muzzle is consistent to the outside world!

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

The noble parliament can hinder the development of Athens from many aspects, but it cannot openly break with Athens at the risk of fearlessness. What's more, after the Orc War Athens has become a heroic place in the eyes of the lower class of the Southern Plains. It cannot openly break, and private tricks cannot threaten Murphy, who formed a solid alliance with Lady Elizabeth, so what else can the noble parliament do now?

They have no choice and no choice.

They can only compete head-on with Athens to compete with Athens for the people of the entire southern plains!

On the third day after Athens launched a comprehensive clearance plan, several grand dukes of the noble parliament urgently discussed and negotiated, they immediately held an important annual meeting of the noble parliament. After the next day, they began to prepare to try to clear out the alien robbers who flew into the southern plains again.

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