(This chapter is added to thank the book friend Xuying for his generous reward. The third update is completed today. Continue to call for recommendation votes and monthly votes.)

The lizardmen have already reached the hinterland of the half-elves.

In such an all-out war that affects the entire race, there are almost no strategies that can be used. This is a tough battle, and this is Murphy's initial positioning. This battle is a confrontation between the strength and will of both sides, and a test of the mobilization power of the entire half-elf race. In this kind of racial war involving hundreds of thousands of people, the effect of the strategy has been weakened to an extreme, and it has been replaced by a test of tactics.

Only by defeating the enemy on the frontal battlefield can the entire battle be won.

This has always been the case throughout the ages.

………………

In fact, whether Murphy is willing or not, if he wants to help the half-elves win this war, the Athenian army must play the mainstay role on the frontal battlefield. Because now in the entire southern plain, only the warriors of Athens can withstand the impact of the lizard-men army on the frontal battlefield, and can deal with enemies who have war beasts like giant lizards.

However, under this premise, Murphy must let the half-elves share part of the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

Because he can't bear too much loss.

The Athenian army was an extremely valuable asset and the guarantee for the prosperity of the entire city. He promised to aid the half-elves, but he could not waste all of his resources on this foreign battlefield.

Therefore, he must ensure that the pressure on the Athenian army on the frontal battlefield will not exceed the limit he estimated.

Although the Athenian army is powerful, it actually does not have much advantage when facing the lizard warriors who have innate physical advantages and generally use heavy weapons, especially since humans still have congenital deficiencies in physical strength, not to mention The enemy they faced was several times the size of the Athenian army. His soldiers can only share the defense line in the core part of the battlefield, while the other flank defense lines need to be borne by the half-elves themselves.

With a clear point, the thoughts of these half-elves became more active, and the opinions they put forward one after another about consolidating the defense line were very constructive.

In particular, several pure-blood elf druids came up with several good ideas.

The group of people discussed until evening before finalizing the preliminary plan. The specific situation depends on the lizard people's next movements before making arrangements. After all, on the battlefield, one has to determine what to do next based on the opponent's situation.

At night.

Murphy had a dinner at the palace. Since it was late at night, the Half-Elf Queen invited him to stay in the palace tonight, but Murphy politely declined.

He is now leading troops to fight, marching outside, not going out for an outing, let alone enjoying. At this time, whether he eats or sleeps, he stays with the soldiers. This is his principle.

Regarding principles, he will not change.

Back in the camp, Murphy summoned the chief priest of the God of War and a group of generals from Athens. After explaining everything discussed in the Half-Elf Palace today, he discussed with the generals in Athens how to deal with the next war.

The discussion lasted until late at night, and then they dispersed.

Early next morning.

Murphy took the technicians in the military camp who knew how to make ballistae to meet the half-elf queen again.

Although half-elves also have their own siege equipment, they are very ancient and are still used in the early era of the era of blade-throwing vehicles. Simply put, they are siege equipment that uses the torque of its wings to project rotating blades. This kind of blade-throwing vehicle is quite powerful against ordinary units, but it has no great effect against large war beasts like giant lizards.

If the Athenian army wanted to take down the core part of the frontal battlefield, it would inevitably have to face the impact of the giant lizards domesticated by the lizardmen head-on.

In contrast, the ballistae used by Athens was much more useful in dealing with these large war beasts.

Because the blade-throwing vehicle attacks a wide area, the arrows fired by the ballista concentrate all the power on one point. Under the fire of the ballista, even a large war beast like a monitor lizard with thick skin and thick flesh may not be able to withstand a few hits. In addition, half-elves are a race whose main combat power is bows and arrows, so they naturally have a large number of stretchable animal tendons in their hands.

Athens may not be able to produce ballistae in large quantities, but these half-elves can.

Maybe we can't make too many because of the tight time, but as long as we can make as many as 180 crossbows, they can play a decisive role on the battlefield.

After all, if siege equipment like ballistae could be fired at one point intensively, the lethality would be quite terrifying.

If the dragon does not fly and can be hit, it is somewhat possible to hunt the dragon with a ballista.

The half-elves have the advantage of air units, but they are also unable to compete with the lizardmen who have giant war beasts like giant lizards on land. Athens' armored mammoth war elephant army has no way to come, so Murphy can only create sieges by creating The equipment suppressed those giant lizard legions. After all, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on manpower to stop such a war beast, and it is not a wise idea to take human lives.

noon.

After having lunch at the invitation of the Half-Elf Queen, Murphy found a secluded place to practice magic.

This is the territory of half-elves, and Murphy, as an outsider, does not intend to interfere too much. Moreover, it is enough to leave these preparations to the half-elves themselves. Murphy does not need to spend too much energy. Giving Athens' core technology for making ballistae to half-elves was just to gain an advantage for itself in the coming war.

Moreover, in the previous battle with the demonized lizard man, Murphy gained some new insights.

Need to find some ideas.

………………

The power of arcane magic is not limited to those spells recorded in textbooks. As long as you have enough imagination, you can completely open up your own path.

Especially a caster like him with extremely powerful innate mental power.

In the battle with the demonized lizard man, Murphy used a weakened version of the 'Fireball Technique' composed of rune letters that he tried to combine.

Although the power is not as powerful as the original fireball, the casting speed has reached a height that is almost instantaneous. Fireball is a very destructive magic in the arcane evocation system. Its power can even easily kill a powerful warrior instantly. However, the three-second long spell chanting also limits its explosive power. Three seconds is enough for the enemy to avoid the spell's attack.

Except for a few spells, in fact many spells are not equipped with automatic pilots, but these spells are launched very quickly after completion, and ordinary people basically have no way to avoid them.

The normal version of fireball was roughly equivalent to a grenade before the Era, but now it is equivalent to an advanced high-explosive grenade.

Murphy's weakened version of the fireball technique is actually very weak, about the same as the stick grenades from World War II. However, such a weakened spell, when used properly, can have the effect of killing with one hit.

This gave Murphy a new understanding of how to fight.

As the monosyllabic runic letters were chanted, fireballs the size of ping pong balls appeared around him one after another. These small fireballs were suspended, surrounding him according to the trajectory of the magic pattern.

This is the arcane idea that Murphy has figured out himself, practicing from the perspective of a single most basic element.

Elemental control.

Ice, thunder, fire, and wind, Murphy completely abandoned the previous incantation spells, and chose to summon them from the elements themselves, and then combined them into his own spells.

Although dangerous, Murphy could foresee its prospects

Three small fireballs the size of ping pong balls are rotating around him. This is the limit of what he can control at present, but he believes that as the mage level increases, the number he can control will increase.

However, just as he was concentrating on practicing, a pair of small hands as white as jade suddenly stretched out.

Under Murphy's incredible gaze, these small hands grabbed the small fireball floating beside him, and then played with it like a small ball in the palm of their hands. However, the small fireball, which was originally violent and powerful and had close to the power of a grenade, was The palms of these little hands are as calm as a young lady being teased, accepting everything.

This is incredible

Completely subverting Murphy's previous understanding of arcana.

He turned his attention to the mysterious owner of those hands, who was a pretty girl with elven blood wearing a fiery red robe.

"Who are you?" the girl asked, looking at Murphy curiously with her big watery eyes.

Murphy knew that the age of the elves could not be measured by their appearance. The girl in front of him was probably a legendary healer, so he said respectfully: "My name is Murphy, from Athens."

"Then who am I?" The girl continued to stare at Murphy with her big watery eyes.

Murphy was stunned by this question, and his whole body suddenly became spartan.

you do not say.

How do I know who you are?

wrong

Have you ever asked others who you are? Could it be that her brain is showing off?

"Forget it. I guess you don't know who I am." A hint of sadness flashed across the girl's pretty face, but then she said excitedly: "You said you are from Athens?"

"Yes." Murphy was a little confused about the situation, so he had to answer honestly.

The girl's eyes brightened, and she asked: "Athens is a very rich city, right?"

Murphy nodded: "Yes."

The girl casually extinguished the fireball, put her finger to her mouth and bit it, looking thoughtful, and then said: "I seem to have heard of Athens, and the governor there seems to be named Murphy."

"I am the governor of Athens." Murphy was speechless.

When the girl heard this, her beautiful big eyes suddenly shone brightly. She looked up and down at Murphy as if looking at something, and said excitedly: "Aren't you very rich?"

"It should be considered very rich."

Stars seemed to appear in the girl's big eyes. She looked at Murphy with a flattering look like a puppy, and said hopefully: "Then give me all your money, okay?"

"OK"

etc.

What kind of logic is this?

Murphy asked the girl a series of questions, which stunned her for a moment. He suddenly felt that the series of questions felt so awkward.

"It's so boring. Why do you need so much money? Why don't you give it all to me?" When the girl heard this, she couldn't help but sullenly said with a small mouth.

Murphy was speechless.

He only has one feeling now, that is, silence is golden, silence is golden

Silence is money

Seeing Murphy's unmoved look, the girl rolled her beautiful big eyes and said kindly: "You see you are so weak, the outside is so dangerous, and you are so rich."

"That would be even more dangerous." The girl showed an exaggerated expression, which was very cute.

"How about this? I'll protect you." A righteous expression appeared on the girl's face, but her next words completely exposed her wolfish ambitions. "Since we want to protect you, we must also protect your property as well."

"After all, I am a person with a strong sense of justice."

"Leave your property to me for safekeeping, and then you can rest assured."

"I can guarantee that not even a giant dragon can take away a copper plate from my hand."

Even the dragon can't take away a copper plate from your hand. So if I leave my property to you for safekeeping, is it possible to get it back?

In front of this strange flower, Murphy had nothing to say.
