Chapter 4: Allies? Or enemies?

(The second update, that's all today. Please give me some recommendation votes for Monday.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting from Murphy's determination to cooperate with Mrs. Elizabeth, from the alliance between twenty-seven local nobles, and from the human and financial resources of Athens to establish a mercenary union, everything in Murphy's plan was like a huge net, not only wrapped the noble council, but also enveloped the entire human world of the southern plains.

The foreign aid of the Centaur tribe, the friendship of the Centaur tribe, and the trade relations that have been maintained with barbarians and humans.

The foundation of Murphy's step-by-step establishment has become unbreakable, and even the current noble parliament will have no way to deal with him.

The only way for the noble parliament to recover the defeat is to carry out a comprehensive crackdown on goblins, kowtows, robbers like Athens. As long as they can achieve success in this operation, they can still firmly grasp the power of the human city-state in the southern plains with their prestige for nearly a thousand years. However, even if they made some achievements, it would be irrelevant to Murphy.

Murphy has the auxiliary system of Total War. Only by using the strategic map page in the auxiliary system to lock it, he is confident of carrying out such a large-scale clearance operation. Because every large-scale gathering point of goblin kobold robbers will be counted on the strategic map page by the auxiliary system. No matter how they run away, Murphy always has a way to find them.

Coupled with the powerful intelligence transmission network of the mercenary union and the cooperation between noble mercenaries from all over the country, all this is the important reason why he finally decided to carry out such a large-scale military operation!

But what will happen to the noble council?

They have nothing!

Although their manpower, material resources and financial resources are far greater than Athens, there is no locking position in the auxiliary system of Total War, no mercenary union collects and transmits intelligence, and no cohesion of the dedicated cooperation of the Athenian Alliance. Even if the noble parliament wins a hundred times better than Athens in terms of manpower, material resources and financial resources, how many achievements can it achieve?

I'm afraid that the nobles in the parliament who are unwilling to send troops will be enough to give some great masters a headache?

The long time, the decay of power has long turned the noble council into a bloated, slow, old and dilapidated machine, and the complex interest relationship between various families has become a lock that binds the operation of this old machine. In fact, after the noble council issued this decision, Murphy was able to meet the final outcome.

Because the ending is destined.

He didn't need to swallow a behemoth like the noble parliament in one fell swoop, nor did he even need more territory.

The fertile land in Athens is enough to support 200,000 people. He only needs to ensure that Athens' powerful army, city is rich, civilized and stable. Then, driven by the general trend, the establishment of the Principality of Athens will erode the power of the noble parliament bit by bit. More and more nobles will abandon the ancient parliament and choose to join the Principality Alliance. As long as they join the Principality Alliance, then all arrangements will be decided by him.

Of course, these assumptions are all valid without being subjected to strong external forces.

If humans in the entire southern plains would face other external pressures, the outcome would probably be the complete collapse of the entire noble parliament, and that time would be the process of Athens taking over everything.

Under the powerful combat power of the Spartan warriors, the only decision these old nobles can make is to surrender! Because in this turbulent era, only a powerful army is the foundation of everything!

There are so many barren lands in this world.

All Murphy wants is the people's hearts, or it can be said to be the population of the future.

The next day at noon, Murphy finally waited for what he was waiting for.

The group of people sent to the Karazan Mountains by him finally came back, and also brought back a letter from Eagle Queen Evanna. The text used in the letter was a elves, and it was a high elves, with beautiful handwriting. It seems that the legendary birth of the elves originated from the cursed high elves was not just a rumor. Otherwise, as a very rarely used issue, the high elves were rarely mastered by other races.

Although Murphy was familiar with elf literature, he was not so proficient in high elf literature.

But it doesn't matter. There is a very practical 0-level spell in arcane magic, that is [Reading]. This low-level spell can translate most of the texts used by many species. If the user is strong enough, even some of the Titan texts from the previous era can be translated. Using [Reading], it is not very difficult for Murphy to understand the letter of Evanna of the Hawk.

The content in the letter is very simple, that is, the hawk Queen Evanna meets Murphy to discuss in detail in her territory.

"Go to the Hawks' territory?"

Murphy gave up on this question without thinking about it.

He was the governor of Athens, the commander of the army, and even the foundation of everything. He could not have ventured to the geek territory where his enemies and friends are now unknown, and the chief priest of the God of War and the generals of Athens might not agree to him.

Besides, he didn't have to try his own life for a trade.

This is a very stupid decision!

Putting down the letter from Evanna of the Hawk Queen, Murphy turned around and began to ask about what happened to them.

Why did I only come back now?

After asking, Murphy frowned. It turned out that after finding the gathering place of the hawks, the group sent by Murphy did not immediately receive the reception of the hawks Queen Evanna, but instead was imprisoned by a group of hawks.

Until the news was known to Evanna, Queen of Evanna, and after the ring that Murphy handed over to them, they had the opportunity to meet His Highness the Queen of Evanna. What made it difficult for Murphy to be clear was that after handing over the ring, Evanna, Queen of Evanna, did not receive these people immediately, but waited until the next day to hand over the letter to them.

“What’s the reason?”

This information made Murphy unable to understand what the intentions of the Eagle Queen Evanna. There was no clear hostility and no intention of showing kindness, so it can only be considered neutral at present. According to Murphy's inference, either the Eagle Queen Evanna was not too concerned about the fact that she had saved her, or the Eagle had very serious caution about other races.

These messengers with Murphy's token were sent by a letter, and it was really hard to make Murphy agree that these hawks were friendly.

Moreover, from the legend that has been circulating, the creature of the Hawk is naturally a chaotic and evil creature. This has forced Murphy to make several plans in his heart.

"How many of those hawks are there?" Murphy stared at the officer in front of him and said in a deep voice.

This question is very important to Murphy, because it determines how he will arrange his next plan and even affects the direction of Athens for a long time in the future.

"Many!" The officer sent by Murphy into the Karazan Mountains nodded and said, "I don't know the specific number, but they are very large!"

"Along the peaks inside the Karazan Mountains, their nests stretch for more than ten miles!"

"I'm afraid their population will not be too far apart even if it does not exceed 100,000!"

Hundred thousand?!

Murphy was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "So many!"

"Governor, those hawks are not flying high and do not wear any armor. Their hands are connected to their wings and can basically only attack with their claws when flying. Except for the unknown strength of those high-level hawks, our longbowmen can easily shoot them down!" As a warrior, the officer sent by Murphy into the Karazan Mountains clearly analyzed the enemy's abilities and weaknesses.

"Draw out the general shapes of those ordinary hawks and show me." Murphy suddenly felt relieved when he heard this. He pointed to the sand table in front of him and said to the officer.

"Yes. Governor." The officer immediately drew the morphological characteristics of an ordinary hawk on the sand table.

The height of ordinary geeks is about 1.6 meters, and has a pair of arms, but the periosteum extends from behind the arms and grows into a pair of wings. In other words, the arms and wings of these geeks are connected together. While flying, they keep flapping their arms. Judging from their body shape characteristics, Murphy judged that their flight endurance and height were probably quite limited.

After all, the humanoid body and not too wide wings greatly limit their ability to fly.

Perhaps the real danger is those higher geeks who have escaped from the curse and have undergone mysterious evolution. These creatures that have recovered from the form of higher elves are definitely not that easy to deal with, and this morphological feature similar to the angels in previous lives is very stressful just by looking at it. If any god regards these higher geeks with only women as vassal races, will they become angels in the legend of the earth?

This idea made Murphy think of the fit of history again.

……………………

After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Murphy suddenly had a new plan in his heart.

He looked at the exhausted officer in front of him and said, "You go back and rest for one night first. Tomorrow you go to the hawks gathering place again. Tell them that negotiations can be done, but the location must be outside the Karazan Mountains. Otherwise, there is no possibility!"

It is impossible to venture to the Hawks' Nest alone. Murphy's biggest concession was to place the negotiation location outside the Karazan Mountains.

"Yes, Governor!" The officer had a solemn face and took the order and left.
