(It’s quite cool to code while listening to "Overture of the Dead". I wonder if anyone has recommended it? "Overture of the Dead" Mosquito Repellent, a not-so-famous internet girl, I like her voice very much, especially her song "Overture of the Dead" "Overture". I have been updating for three days, keep up the hard work!)
----------------------------------------
The night is as cool as water.
After nightfall, the whole of Athens seemed quiet and peaceful. The citizens had already gone to sleep, and there was only the dull footsteps of patrols on the wide streets.
Tap tap tap!
Murphy waved back and came to the Temple of Leadership alone.
Looking at the lifelike sculpture of the Goddess of Wisdom in the central square, he didn't know why he thought of the high priest again. That kind of faint longing, like a thread, always appeared in his mind inadvertently.
The woman who was always quiet, but could soothe his tiredness and make him fall in love with her.
In August, the moon is very round and bright.
A bright moon as big as a millstone hangs high in the night sky, and the cold moonlight falls on the earth, casting shadows indistinctly, making the world a little more graceful inexplicably.
"What do the lizard people want?" Murphy jumped up, and his body was suddenly more than ten feet taller. He put his palms on the statue of the goddess of wisdom Athena, turned over and used his strength, and then jumped ten feet on his tiptoes. The roof of the temple is several meters high.
Three stories in height.
Going up so easily was something Murphy had never dared to do.
But now he can do this easily. Unconsciously, even he himself is not aware that war and killing have tempered him into what he is now, and now he is already equivalent to The martial arts masters in those stories. He can climb up cliffs with his bare hands, jump several feet away, break hard stone monuments with one palm, and fly over walls!
"It's only been two years, why do I feel like so long has passed?" Lying on his back on the roof of the Leadership Temple, Murphy put his hands behind his head, looked at the sky and understood, as if whispering to himself Said to himself.
"It's really like a dream!"
Murphy actually can't remember much about his time on Earth in his previous life. It's like things have been separated for a long time, and many things have become unfamiliar terms.
Just looking up at the bright moon above his head, Murphy squinted his eyes slightly and lay as if asleep.
After a while.
He finally opened his eyes, and there was a faint light in his black eyes. He held his hand on the sharp sword at his waist, and the friction on the hilt made him feel relieved.
"Clang!"
Murphy pulled out the sharp sword from his waist, and the cold edge shone in the moonlight. He pointed the sword at the bright moon above his head, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He has never been a person who indulges in memories!

--------------------------------------------------
early morning.
"General...Governor!" The herald tried his best and finally found Murphy on the roof of the Leadership Temple.
Hearing the herald's honest voice from below, Murphy slowly opened his eyes. In fact, he had woken up a long time ago, but he just didn't want to give up this moment of tranquility and relaxation. People like him who have too much power and shoulder too many responsibilities will sometimes feel tired. He is not a heartless plant. He cannot ignore the lives of his people or the Spartan warriors who silently follow his footsteps.
He has built himself a shell of cold determination that will never fail, but that doesn't mean he won't get tired and there won't be weakness deep inside.
Once, there was a high priest by his side.
But now he's alone, so he must learn to find a moment of peace for himself.
It doesn't take long.
For someone like him, one night is enough.
"What's going on?" He jumped from the roof of the temple more than ten meters high, and with a muffled sound, Murphy knelt down on one knee to relieve his strength, and then stood up calmly, looking at the herald in front of him, and said calmly. He said, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
The herald looked at Murphy who was as if nothing had happened, and then looked at the height of the temple roof. He suddenly swallowed and said: "His Excellency, the Chief Priest of the God of War is back."
"Yeah. I understand." Murphy nodded, raised his hand to pat the dust on his body, and walked towards the meeting hall.
There were many devout believers performing morning prayers around the temple. They looked at the Governor from a distance as he easily jumped down from the roof of more than ten meters high, and there was a hint of awe in their eyes. From such a height, if an ordinary person jumped from it, he would probably fall to his death! However, nothing happened to the Governor. He dusted himself off and left, as if he just jumped down from a ladder.
The legend about Murphy having divine blood has been circulating for a long time.
Although there has never been a clear statement, what they saw this morning made those believers more and more convinced of this.
Inner city of Athens, military camp.
The Chief Priest of the God of War led a group of Cretan long archers back, accompanied by two teams of Greek heavy infantry carrying large wooden boxes. These large wooden boxes were very heavy and seemed to contain many valuable items.
"Mr. Governor!" The chief priest of the God of War handed a piece of blood-stained feather to Murphy and said in a deep voice.
This man who is accustomed to silence is not good at words, but he also has his own way of expression. Murphy looked at the gray-white bloody feathers, then looked at the boxes of wealth that had been moved in, and nodded with satisfaction. He turned around and looked around, but did not see the Spartan conquerors. Even then he understood that these powerful warriors who had inherited the characteristics of the God of War and the Chief Priest had returned to the temple.
In addition to fighting, these warriors pray and train in the War Temple at other times.
They are all devout believers.
"How's the loss?" Murphy opened a box, which shone with a dazzling silver light under the sunlight.
"Six people died, and the conqueror suffered no losses. However, the Winged Queen was slightly injured." The God of War Priest's face was expressionless, and the wealth in the box could not attract his attention at all. He looked at Murphy and replied.
"Yeah." Hearing that Queen Evanna was slightly injured, Murphy moved slightly and then nodded.
"Lord Governor! I need some dragon's blood. I want to use the dragon's blood to activate the blood of other Spartan warriors and strengthen their strength." The war priest looked towards the back of the military camp and said solemnly.
"Oh?" Murphy raised his head in confusion.
"The power of God of War Kratos comes from killing. I think the blood of some powerful creatures will more easily inspire the power hidden in the blood of warriors." The chief priest of God of War answered truthfully.
"Yeah. I'll arrange for someone to prepare immediately." Murphy's heart moved slightly and he said with a little excitement.
………………
Boxes of wealth were transported into the treasury, and the worries that had accumulated in Murphy's heart for nearly half a year were finally eliminated.
He summoned all the officials in Athens almost non-stop and explained in detail the steps of the plan to expand Athens into a big city. And because of the abundant funds, several facilities that he had previously postponed for future construction have begun to prepare for construction. Murphy, who had money in his hands, was very proud. He almost spent a lot of money to buy all the buildings needed in the big city and planned to upgrade them all at once!
Working with Queen Evanna is simple, Murphy helps her get rid of the elders, then delivers poppy seeds and some food if necessary.
In return, Queen Evanna handed over all the treasures from the white dragon to Murphy.
Of course, this wealth is mainly concentrated in gold and silver. The jewelry collected by the white dragon has extraordinary appeal to any female creature, so it was kept by Queen Evanna as a collection.
Murphy didn't care much about this.
Gold and silver are the hard currencies of this world, but jewelry is not easy to use. Because although these things are extremely valuable, their value must be redeemable. Otherwise, the jewelry would be just a brightly colored stone. In this turbulent era, frequent wars in various places have reduced the demand for luxury goods among many races to a minimum.
Even the most pedantic aristocrat would not spend their precious resources on such useless and gorgeous decorations as jewelry at this time.
The amount of silver and gold was enough to upgrade Athens into a big city.
Murphy is not very interested in these jewelry, because for him, practical things are what he needs. So you might as well keep these and give a good influence to Queen Evanna in a non-greedy manner.
This is an ally with great potential and worthy of Murphy's investment!
*************************************************** **********************************************
The total amount of capital injection exceeded 500,000 silver coins, and the total wealth was about 56,000 gold coins, which immediately made the entire Athens flow with the breath of wealth.
A large amount of materials were purchased, and large sums of money were spent. After the funds were in place, the entire Athens was under construction in full swing!
The goblin laborers carried the heavy stones with great enthusiasm, and the kobold slaves excavated the foundation with great enthusiasm. Some of the smarter goblin laborers also learned some simple tasks in more than a year and provided services to the human craftsmen. Doing some basic things. Although these creatures are cunning, they are indeed far smarter than other creatures. Many of them have learned human language and know how to do some simple things.
The Governor has just announced to them that as long as they work hard, everyone will be able to eat a piece of fish for dinner from today on.
For these creatures, nothing motivates them more than meat.
Work and eat.
Work hard and you will have meat to eat.
It's a simple truth, and it's not difficult for them to understand.
As for Murphy, the supply of fish in Athens has exceeded the standard. The soldiers generally said that the pig beasts are almost fat now and they should change their appetite. Even if they just slaughter a dozen of them and eat them for ten days and a half, they are still satisfied!
Murphy sympathized with the Athenian soldiers and realized that they should eat something else after eating fish for more than a year. However, the supplied fish meat and dried fish meat cannot be wasted. After all, food preservation in this era is more troublesome. Because the number was quite large, Murphy rewarded it to some aboriginal serfs. Even these goblin and kobold slaves benefited from this and were able to eat a few pieces of fish and meat.
In another month, it will be the time for the squatting fish to return. At that time, it will be the harvest season for the entire Nidoria River. By then, the squatting fish returning from the coast will be all over the entire river, and can even be seen on the lake. Pieces of sparkling light, every time we come to this world, it is when the creatures living along the river banks have a great harvest, and it is also when they store food for winter.
Athens' fishing boats have the advantage of being hundreds of years ahead of this era, and every time this time means a bumper harvest!
Maybe there will be fewer and fewer squatting fish returning in the future, but at least for now, whenever this season comes, it means that during the month when the squatting fish returns, almost all the people living around the Nidolia River will be wiped out. Most living things are never short of food. In an era of poor population, it often means that the material in the wild is unprecedentedly rich!
………………
"Legion Barracks (construction progress 10%): This spectacular military camp is often the largest building complex in the city besides the palace. It has complete training facilities and can train soldiers systematically and formally on a large scale. Its scale can allow Those with evil intentions should give up their bad thoughts immediately!
The training here is very strict, and the team trained here is one of the best armies in the world. "
(Added recruitment units: Spartan heavy infantry (Spartan military training is enabled!), Macedonian royal pikemen (super long spears), silver shield pikemen, and silver shield phalanx infantry.)
"The Racecourse (construction progress 15%): The Racecourse trains the elite of the elite cavalry - the King's Guards Cavalry. It is also one of the best buildings in the city, and the troops trained here are all elite noble troops. The Racecourse It’s spectacular and can accommodate and train horses and other animals, and trainers and armorers here can also make armors for any animal, including elephants and mammoths!”
(Added recruitment units: armored cavalry, armored war elephants.)
"Catapult Range (Construction Progress 13%): Attacking the enemy from a distance has always been a good tactic, because he can only take a hit, but it is difficult to fight back. The Catapult Range allows artillery, archers and javelinmen to perform freely while focusing on training, without the need for Worrying about friendly fire, engineers who build large-scale long-range weapons are nearby and can provide technical support to training personnel at any time, and other long-range troops can also use the range for training."
(Added recruitment units: Athenian longbowmen (combat experience +1), repeating ballistae, stone crossbow (catapult)."
“Large commercial district (construction progress 30%):…………”
"Elevated water channel (construction progress 12%):......"
“Diversion channel irrigation (construction progress 45%):…………”
………………
Looking at the rows of construction progress on the "Total War" auxiliary system, Murphy suddenly felt satisfied in his heart.
The feeling of having money in hand is different. In his opinion, the construction of a building that cost tens of thousands of silver coins is just a drop in the bucket now. With abundant money and sufficient manpower, he began to upgrade the building complex on a large scale, and in order to speed up the construction progress, he spent a large amount of money to purchase building materials from other places.
He has always stubbornly believed that money is only money when it is spent, and it can only be regarded as a precious metal reserve when it is left in hand.
………………
----------------------------------------
The construction progress in Athens began to accelerate, and abundant funds greatly improved everyone's labor capacity.
While the citizens of Athens were enthusiastically building their own city, the Athenian army also brought back bursts of good news.
first!
That is, all the goblin and kobold bandits in Athens and the surrounding areas of the Athens Alliance have been wiped out. Businessmen no longer have to worry about being robbed by a group of alien bandits rushing out of the mountains and forests when traveling.
While the noble council was still busy looking for those goblin and kobold bandits, Athens had already completed all the clearing operations.
The traces of all kinds of bandits above the entire southern plain were completely gone!
This time, the noble council not only failed, but was completely defeated. In the end, the noble council had no choice but to convene another meeting and hastily terminated the campaign against the wandering alien bandits. Fortunately, they caught up with the lizard people's movements at this time, and more or less found a paper to cover up their failure. Let the decadent noble council be able to say with confidence that we are not unable to eliminate those alien bandits, but because of the abnormal movements of the lizard people, we have to send troops back to defend, lest they threaten the security of the entire southern plain.
………………
As soon as the operation to suppress the foreign bandits was completed, the Athenian troops sent to various places began to rush back.
Although many of these soldiers are selected from the aborigines, their combat effectiveness is not weak, especially after receiving the cruel Spartan training of the War Temple. These aboriginals can be said to be excellent. warrior! With adequate nutrition, strict training, and the guidance of combat skills from the priests of the War Temple, these aboriginal soldiers grew up very quickly.
This time Murphy sent them out to eliminate the alien bandits in order to practice their practical skills.
As the troops gathered together, Athens' defense suddenly had no loopholes.
After the city's construction was on track and could be handed over to the generals and internal officials, Murphy began to mobilize the Athens First Army and some elite indigenous troops to prepare for his second plan.
Because the message has been delivered.
The bugbear tribe that migrated south has almost reached Athens.
After receiving the news, Murphy couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is really a timely help!"
Not only was it delivered to my doorstep, but it was also delivered in such a timely manner. It happened to be just in time for Athens to upgrade into a big city and lack a strong labor force. Murphy had to lament that the meaning of these bugbears' lives was just for this moment!
The meaning of their existence is to work hard for Athens!
