Chapter 7 Mysterious Visitor!

(First update, continue to summon recommendation votes!)

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

Sixteen cavalry left behind in the military camp, outside the city of Athens.

At the same time, the troops distributed throughout Athens were also taken action by Murphy. They were led by their respective centurions and divided into sixteen squads, each with more than 200 people. According to the plan formulated by the Governor, they began a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of goblins and kowtows robbers wandering around Athens. Long before the action, Murphy told them the location of all the alien robbers in Athens.

And all they had to do was to wipe out all these alien robbers with the indigenous mercenaries!

The clearance operation begins in full swing!

Shortly after Murphy ordered the clearance to begin, the team sent to the Eagle Tribe also brought back new news. The Eagle Queen Evanna agreed to negotiate outside the Karazan Mountains, and the time was set tomorrow afternoon, about fifty miles away from the Athenian army.

After this matter was certain, Murphy suddenly felt relieved.

Since the other party agreed to conduct diplomatic negotiations, the Eagle tribe will not become the enemy of Athens for the time being. If such a large-scale Eagle tribe really occurs, it will definitely be a loss-win situation. At that time, Murphy would have to give up the treasure of the White Dragon. After all, for Athens today, population is the greatest wealth. If money is gone, you can make money and grab it, but if the population is gone, it takes time to accumulate little by little.

The warriors of Athens should not be consumed in such wars.

In the afternoon.

After handing over the command of the comprehensive clearance operation to several generals in Athens, Murphy took the time to go to the Temple of War.

Now the population of Athens has reached 12,000. As long as these things are handled, the next thing is to expand the outer city of Athens and build a new building complex that can only be built in big cities. Moreover, many of the original buildings also need to be expanded after Athens is upgraded to big cities. The most important ones are undoubtedly the temples and military camps.

The Temple of War, the Temple of Leadership, the Temple of Love, the City of Urban Barracks, and the Large Port, all these buildings require a lot of funds.

The second phase of the Athenian legions also required a large amount of money to support it. Although the Athenian treasury confiscated a lot of trophy after the Orc War and obtained considerable income in trade with the centaurs and barbarians, the expenses for Athens after the upgrade to a big city were far from enough. Although the family of Lady Elizabeth was quite rich, it probably consumed a lot when forming a mercenary union. Lady Elizabeth's greatest wealth came from land, but for Murphy, he was definitely unable to accept selling land for wealth.

Although the spirits trade has begun, since the dwarves have cut off foreign trade, the funds that can be obtained temporarily are quite limited due to the consumption of barbarian humans alone.

As for selling internal sales to human city-states, it is probably impossible to achieve effective results in a short period of time.

Unlike the third-rate novels that immediately made money when the spirits came out in the previous life, as an actual operator, Murphy knew very well what kind of talent needed for spirits.

Not many people like highly-numbered spirits. Even in their previous lives, many people were absolutely spicy and had nothing to do with being delicious.

I'm afraid there are few people who fall in love with white wine just to get drunk?

The market for liquor is very broad, but it is also very limited.

First of all, most women will not like this kind of high-level spirit. And those nobles with sissy faces may not be able to drink such spirits. The number of people that the spirits really target is actually a few more people. The more warriors have experienced wars, the more likely they are to have such spicy spirits. The other is the group that likes spirits.

For example, barbarian humans, or dwarves.

At least a race like half-elves cannot accept high-level drinks like white wine.

Scarcity is precious.

The trade income brought by spirits also includes tens of thousands of silver coins a month, but the expenses required to upgrade to a big city are still far from enough.

If the trade with the Hawks cannot be negotiated this time, then Murphy will have only two ways to think of.

One is to become a mercenary, charge a fee from the nobles from all over the country, and then help them kill the goblins, kowtows and robbers. The other is to rob. It doesn’t matter whoever has the money, because at that time, he would rob whoever has the money.

He can't wait for the long-lasting accumulation of wealth. If he is really in a hurry, robbery will be within his consideration.

At this point, Murphy is not the kind of person who has too many moral concerns.

Time is very important to him!

He told some of his thoughts in his heart that the Chief Priest of the God of War was that the Chief Priest of the God of War actually supported the plunder. As a fighting nation, Sparta was trained as warriors, and war was originally something they had to face innately. Since it was war, there were only two types, one was protection, and the other was plunder.

Therefore, it is very normal for the plundering of wealth to the Chief Priest of the God of War who has very pure Spartan ideas.

After coming out of the Temple of War, before Murphy could return to the ruling government, the messenger came over on a fast horse.

"Governor General, important news has come from the Centaurs." The messenger handed a pampered scroll to Murphy and said anxiously.

Centaur?

Is something happening westward?

Murphy frowned slightly, spread out the parchment roll in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The text used on the scroll is elves, with beautiful handwriting, as if it was written by the beautiful little mare Eluen. The information above is also very simple, that is, after occupying the Sharma Basin, the mammoths expelled all the surrounding races. Now many indigenous races who had lived in the Sharma Basin before are migrating everywhere.

The powerful mammoths defeated the former Centaur tribe, and many races living in the surrounding areas had to avoid their edge and began a long migration process.

Some of the migrating humanoid species chose to join the centaur tribe in order to regain their territory one day. The other chose to migrate to the south of the continent, which is where Athens is located. The mammoth's fierceness and dominance made many humanoid creatures share the same hatred for the enemy. Many humanoid creatures living around, such as the porcupine (the branch of the wild boar, larger), the goblins, hyena people, etc., all chose to stand on the side of the centaur.

Even the mammoth clashed with two grassland elves distributed near the Salma Basin.

The race moving towards Athens is bear goblins, a variant of goblins. It is very strong in physique and is far from comparable to those short-sized people. These bear goblins are greedy and cruel, and are born robbers. As long as they think they can win, they will attack and plunder any race. Bear goblins are agile and tall (about 2.2 meters), but they do not have much wisdom. They look very stupid and far from the IQ of other goblins.

Because the bear goblins are born with no good products, after learning that the bear goblins are moving towards Athens, the beautiful little mare Elune immediately wrote a letter to notify Murphy, asking him to take precautions in advance.

"Bear Goblin?" Xin saw the end, Murphy's brows also stretched.

"This is a slave to the door! These bear goblins are stupid by nature, but they are tall and burly, with some brute force. Athens is about to expand into a big city, so why can there be no such coolie?" Murphy couldn't help but think.

Slaves are a very important resource for Athenian cash.

These bear goblins migrating towards Athens have about six ethnic groups. Except for the most powerful bear goblins, the population of other ethnic groups is around five or six hundred.

In terms of strength alone, he is not a match for Athens at all.

The bear goblin with a population of about 3,500 is meant to be more than 2,000 strong slaves! After reading the letter sent by the little mare Elune, Murphy immediately decided to eat them in one bite!

"How many troops are there now in Athens?" Back at the ruling government, Murphy immediately asked General Jerry Rivad.

"There are only fifteen phalanx infantry, about 1,200 people. Governor? What's the matter?" General Jerry Rivad asked this as soon as he entered the door in a hurry, and immediately replied with a strange feeling.

"Only one thousand two hundred people? Too few." Murphy handed the parchment in his hand to General Jerry Rivad and said to himself: "It seems that he has to transfer part of General Legion of Athens."

If you want to capture slaves, you naturally need to have a numerical advantage, otherwise you cannot suppress others with your power. I am afraid that those bear goblins may not surrender.

In that case, a lot of people will be lost.

Although the migrating bear goblins are still on the way, Murphy has included them in the Athenian demographic.

General Jerry Rivad took the parchment with some confusion. At first he frowned, but his eyes lit up from behind. When he arrived, it became brighter and brighter. He put down the parchment and said excitedly: "This is a slave who came to the door!"

"Is the Governor ready to catch them all in one go?"

"That's right! Athens is about to be expanded. Although there are many goblin slaves, they are short and not strong, and their roles can be quite limited. These bear goblins are strong and tall, so they are definitely the best choice for being coolies!" Murphy replied.

"But it is not difficult to defeat these bear goblins with just one thousand, two hundred troops in Athens, but it is probably not easy to capture them." General Jerry Rivad thought for a moment and spoke: "Mr. Governor, if you want to capture them all, you may have to send the First Legion of Athens back. In order to avoid casualties, it is best to transfer the Longbowman troops to come."

"Well. They are still some distance away from Athens. It should be too late to deploy tomorrow afternoon."

General Jerry Rivad's idea coincides with Murphy.

"Governor General! Peer wants to see you."

Murphy had just sat down for a while, when the attendant at the door trotted to him and spoke.

Peer was a newly trained spy in Athens, but now he serves in the security team. Because of the growth of Athens, more and more spies sent by the noble parliament. In order to avoid any damage from these spies, several spies were also placed in the security team of Athens for anti-reconnaissance. Most of these sent spies had the disguised identity of merchants. Without causing trouble, Murphy could not do anything to them even if he knew their identities.

So, I can only send someone to stare at them.

"Let him in," Murphy whispered.

"yes."

After a while, a middle-aged man with a round face and a very rich appearance walked into the room.

"Governor." Seeing Murphy sitting inside, the rich middle-aged man quickly greeted him.

"No need to be polite, what's the matter?" Murphy waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to be polite. As a modern man from the earth, he always pursued efficiency in his actions, and he didn't like these red tape.

"A strange person came to the tavern. I was afraid that something would happen, so I hurried over to report to the Governor." Although Peer did not salute again, he lowered his head respectfully and spoke.

"Strange person? Why is it a strange method?" Murphy suddenly became interested and asked when he heard this.

"Very tall! Very strong! Very fat!" Peer wiped the sweat from his forehead, gestured as huge as a ball, and then said: "That person is probably taller than an ogre, like a giant!"

"He wore a very wide cloak, wrapped his whole body, and he also wore a hat on his face, covering it with a veil, and could not see his appearance at all. He carried an oak stick that was three meters long, almost as thick as my thighs, and a large wooden barrel on the stick, and I don't know what it contained."

"Oh?" Murphy asked with a face full of face when he heard this, "Where is he?"

"Pub!"

Tavern?

This return made Murphy stunned.

"He has a very amazing alcohol capacity. He almost drank a large jar of strong liquor alone. Because he was too tall, the bartender didn't even dare to go up and ask him for money. Later, he stopped drinking, and he actually made a hole in the wall of the tavern with one palm. There was no way, the bartender could only deliver it up one jar after another." Peer wiped the sweat on his forehead and then said, "He almost drank all the wine in our tavern."

Speaking of this, Peel looked mournful. Although the tavern is Murphy's personal property, it was run by his brother-in-law. Now, a guy who suddenly appeared drank the spirits worth thousands of silver coins. If the account could not be taken back, his brother-in-law would inevitably be punished. Originally, this kind of thing should have been solved by the port security team, but because that guy was so oppressive.

There was no choice but to come to the inner city of Athens to find the Governor to deal with it.

"Is there a hole in the wall of the tavern with one palm?" Murphy looked surprised and asked again: "You are sure!"

"The villain is absolutely true! He really slapped a hole in the half-foot-thick wall with one palm!" Peier wiped his cold sweat, as if he was still feeling lingering fear.

So perverted?
