Summoning Total War

Chapter 19 The Last Tranquility (Part 1) ()

The territory of the Marquise Elizabeth only lasted less than two days under the powerful attack of the Jackals.

Morale is low, her nominal husband runs off with tax money, etc.

Although she is a good hand in the economic construction of the territory, as a woman, she really has no experience in the army and war. The defense of the territory has always been the responsibility of the canonized knights who have been loyal to the family for generations. Her territory is located to the north of the southern plains, which is equivalent to a safe zone. Except for some kobolds who would come to attack Qiu Feng, there were no powerful enemies at all.

In fact, Marquise Elizabeth only found out after the great rout, when they lost confidence and gave up resistance.

In the south of the territory, a reinforcement force of more than 8,000 people has arrived! Among these eight thousand people, there are nearly a thousand heavy infantry equipped with excellent equipment provided by the dwarves. As long as the Marquise Elizabeth can hold on for one more day, she can completely repel the wolfman attack.

Things in war change so quickly!

When the defense line of Marquise Elizabeth's territory was breached, 600 advance light cavalry among the 8,000 reinforcements had already arrived.

But at this time, they were unable to do anything.

I can only watch helplessly as the scattered friendly forces are divided, surrounded and killed one by one!

"That woman is a cunning politician, but none of her intelligence is used in the military!" The reinforcements' general Salas-Most could only sigh, collect the scattered friendly troops, and then re-deploy the defense line behind the territory. .

Just hold on for one more day!

That's all.

If Murphy's skills previously only amazed the Marquise Elizabeth, then what she saw today was shocking!

In the past, Murphy was just a well-educated aristocrat with good means and ability to win people's hearts in her eyes. But now, everything she saw today made her feel that this seemingly young lord was definitely not that simple!

A skillful nobleman, if coupled with fearlessness and bravery, is no longer limited to the scope of the nobleman.

That is a talent that only [Rulers] possess!

Murphy's oath today, the declaration of this lord who was only sixteen years old, and his solemn expression and firm eyes, even the outsider Elizabeth Marquis was shaken.

So, she decided to stay without hesitation.

At this moment, she even had the idea that 'if he was her husband, then the territory would not fall...'.

Combining his economic expertise with his military talents, this is undoubtedly a great combination!

However, the Marquise Elizabeth is not a vase who relies on beauty to entertain people, nor is she a demented literary lady who longs for great love while reading third-rate chivalry novels. In novels, the protagonist who sacrifices everything for love can have a happy ending, but in reality, there are just piles of tragedies.

Find love within a reasonable range.

Just like this moment, even if Marquise Elizabeth had thoughts of marrying Murphy, she didn't show it at all.

At least, until he gets back the wealth accumulated by his family and has a certain amount of capital.

She won't show it at all.

This is the method of a smart woman. Even if she needs love, she must go through appropriate means. Because smart women know that there is no love for no reason in this world. And interests and capital are also the best ingredients for love!

Just like the most popular saying in aristocratic circles!

——Vase, you must also have the consciousness of a vase!

Everyone in the territory is busy, but there is a strange atmosphere in the temple at the moment.

"I will not evacuate." The high priest stood under the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. She, who had always been kind and kind, was extremely serious at the moment.

"No." Murphy refused without hesitation.

"Why?" The high priest seemed a little angry. She stared at Murphy hatefully and asked.

"You are a woman."

"..." The always gentle and gentle high priest grinded his teeth in a rare moment, as if he wanted to take a bite of Murphy! She raised her head, stared at Murphy fiercely, and said in a loud voice: "I am the high priest!"

"Although you are the high priest, you can't change the fact that you are a woman!" Murphy said without any pressure.

Under Murphy's arrogant words, the high priest's beautiful face was on the verge of explosion. This woman who had always been as gentle as water and spring breeze held the staff tightly, and her body faintly exuded the radiant, sacred, holy, and inviolable light of divinity!

"If you can defeat me, I will evacuate!" Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and realized that she could not make Murphy surrender with words. This woman who had always been as gentle as water finally decided to use violence to solve the problem!

She stared at Murphy in front of her and said decisively.

Then Murphy wilted.

To be honest, if he really faced the high priest, he really wouldn't be sure at all.

The reason is simple, this woman - knows magic!

As the high priest of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the leader of the temple, Total War's "Support System" clearly indicates that this woman can use more than level 2 divine arts. Moreover, when the temple was first built, the scene when this woman merged with Athena, the goddess of wisdom, has always been unforgettable and awe-inspiring for Murphy.

Do you want to do something?

Can't beat it!

"If you want to stay, just stay." In the end, Murphy could only say wiltedly. If you want to stay, just stay.

Initially, Murphy planned to have these priests evacuate with the brigade because they were all women and new priests. But all this was rejected by the high priest without hesitation. This woman said that they would never abandon the followers of the goddess no matter what, and they would fight to the end with the towns of Athens!

they? fighting?

What's wrong with Murphy's plan without these priestesses?

To be honest, it wasn't that Murphy couldn't see them clearly, but they had small arms and legs. If they didn't know a few magical spells, they would just add some tender meat to the jackals.

If you insist, then stay. At most, it's just a matter of sharing some manpower to protect them. Besides, having them there will definitely be good for morale.

With this thought in his mind, Murphy turned and walked towards the outside of the temple.

The high priest looked at his leaving back, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.

She waved her fist playfully at Murphy's back, then adjusted her snow-white priest's robe and returned to her usual graceful and gorgeous appearance.

It seems that I have discovered a good way to deal with the Governor today!

That’s how you’ll do it from now on!

The high priest smiled lightly, feeling very happy.
