Chapter 63 The Messenger (Part 1)

"The Greek civilization system, Seleucid faction and Macedonian faction data are synchronized and integrated. The integration progress is 5%, 10%, 15%..."

Just when Murphy had just finished reading the data list of the "Total War" auxiliary system, another system prompt sounded.

When the "Total War" auxiliary system integrated the data, another recruitment option for another unit appeared in the unit recruitment interface.

Weapon: Conscripted Pikeman

Number of recruitment rounds: (1)

Soldier size (120), experience (0).

Attack (6), charge bonus (2), weapon type (long weapon).

Total defense (5), armor (0), defense skills (3), shield (2).

Vitality(1).

Morale (2).

Recruitment cost (310), maintenance cost (150).

Ability: Super long spear, can form a square formation, dig tunnels, resist cavalry bonus, and has low morale.

Description: When war approached, peasants, farmers, and lower-class poor were forced by their rulers to serve in the army as pikemen. Since they lack armor, they are best used as defensive infantry, drawing enemy attacks, or protecting the flanks of the main battle line. They are equipped with long spears (some up to six meters long), which can be pointed at the enemy at the same time, forming a wall of spear points to fight the enemy. They also carry swords and can engage in melee combat if necessary. Although they were not actually trained, as descendants of traditional heavy-armed soldiers, the levy of pikemen allowed them to use the phalanx formation. But apart from the small shield on his left arm, there was no other defense. Therefore, under heavy attack, these conscripted troops will suffer heavy casualties.

Conscript pikemen are best used as defensive infantry, but their lack of armor makes them poorly defended in battle.

After the data of the other two factions in the "Total War" auxiliary system were imported, the military recruitment interface showed that Murphy was able to train conscript pikemen.

As the early-stage carrying unit of other Greek civilization factions, the combat effectiveness of the levy pikemen is not too strong.

In terms of morale, they are only half of the Greek infantry at the same price, and their defense is only one-third. The only advantage is that the weapons they use are super long guns! Moreover, the number of people in the organization is forty more than that of the Greek infantry.

The Macedonian spear formation is different from the Greek spear formation. The Macedonian spear formation is more than five meters long. They use super long guns!

Able to attack enemies from the longest distance!

But again, this also makes their hands tied and their defense power is very low. The Macedonian shields are very small, and most of them are fixed on the left arm close to the shoulder. Their defensive capabilities are far behind those of the Greek infantry. However, the combat effectiveness of the super long gun against cavalry troops is amazing!

These ultra-long spear units in formation have considerable lethality when defending.

For now, Murphy doesn't plan to recruit these troops with super-long guns, because there are no cavalry among his enemies. Putting aside the advantage of super spears against cavalry, the conscript pikemen with low defense were completely defeated by the Greek infantry. Perhaps when facing a large number of cavalry, Murphy will consider recruiting them.

"Data integration, so you can recruit Royal Super Lance and Silver Shield Legion infantry in the future?" Murphy looked at the information on the data and thought silently in his heart.

To be honest, these top units all have their own advantages, but when it comes to infantry, Murphy still loves Spartan's red pants the most.

And the red pants of Sparta also used their absolute combat power advantage to tell Murphy that all infantry are nothing in front of the red pants!

When it comes to the two imported Greek factions, Murphy prefers the Macedonian light cavalry and the Seleucid cataphract as well as the powerful war elephant troops. Of course, the reputation of the companion cavalry is equally widespread, but what is more famous is that there is a considerable number of homosexuals among them. The reputation of Alexander the Great's companion cavalry spread far and wide!

Murphy's heart was filled with excitement when he thought of the Macedonian light cavalry.

Because the Macedonian light cavalry has a very powerful attribute, that is - powerful charge!

As a light cavalry unit, it can be recognized by the "Total War" auxiliary system as having strong charge capabilities. You can imagine the combat effectiveness of these light cavalry.

A brief introduction to the history of Macedonia must be given here.

Macedonia is not a traditional Greek nation. It was originally one of the nomadic peoples and gradually settled down under the influence of Greek culture. However, it was not recognized by mainstream Greek culture until Alexander's father Philip II was beaten with force. The Greek states were just beginning to be recognized. Since Macedonia did not switch from nomads to farming for too long, and it had been at war with other nomads while absorbing some other nomads into its sphere of influence, it could still have a strong army until the time of Alexander. of cavalry.

Compared with the powerlessness of the Greek cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the Macedonian light cavalry is quite impressive!

Murphy plans to start building stables when he returns. According to his estimation, General Leo Dallie and slave merchant Plife should be back in a week or two at most. At that time, they should have bought a horse from the centaur, plus the saddle, stirrups and horseshoes being made in the blacksmith shop. The towns of Athens will soon be able to build a cavalry force that is ahead of its time!

Cavalry!

A representative of mobility and lethality in the cold weapon era!

When tens of thousands of cavalry galloped, even the earth trembled slightly!

The powerful frontal attack capability of the Greek infantry phalanx, the superb archery skills of the Cretan archers, and the powerful charging capability of the Macedonian light cavalry!

Murphy can almost predict how powerful the army in the future town will be!

Since this battle was a frontal battle, the casualties of the Greek infantry were not large.

The cavalry team with the Eighty Heavy Cavalry as the vanguard successfully cut up the formation of the Jackal army. Except for the initial battle with the male Jackal as the vanguard, which was quite difficult, the subsequent battles were basically not difficult at all.

Although it is difficult for human heavy cavalry to form a large scale in this world, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are probably more powerful than the armored cavalry in the auxiliary system of "Total War". Because these heavy cavalry are composed of human canonized knights. They are all small nobles in the territory. They do not work. Every once in a while, they will go to the lord's castle to receive collective military training and the lord will demonstrate their martial arts. Moreover, these people's own fighting skills are not bad. In terms of one-on-one combat effectiveness after dismounting, I am afraid they will not be much weaker than the unstrengthened Spartan heavy infantry.

These canonized knights are proficient in knight swordsmanship and are also very familiar with bows and arrows. They can be regarded as all-round talents in another world.

This can be seen from the fact that Mrs. Elizabeth only formed a heavy cavalry of 300 people in a territory about the size of a prefecture-level city.

The wounded were being treated, and the task of cleaning the battlefield was left to the conscripted farmers.

After successfully responding to the broken troops reorganized by Lady Elizabeth, Murphy couldn't help but have some headaches about how to arrange them.

It is obviously impossible to integrate into the town of Athens.

Putting aside what Lady Elizabeth meant, these soldiers would not agree.

They obviously still want to fight back and regain everything that belongs to them. Perhaps those conscripted farmers could be recruited, but it was obviously impossible to canonize knights and professional soldiers. They are citizens and aristocrats and will not identify themselves so easily.

Besides, the number of these people, if all were admitted, the population base would be higher than the population of the town of Athens itself.

This is not conducive to Murphy's rule. No matter whether it is possible or not, losing power is something Murphy will never allow!

If Lady Elizabeth had half the right to speak in the town of Athens, this rather ambitious woman might have other thoughts. For now, although Mrs. Elizabeth is mature and charming, Murphy has always regarded her as a partner and kept an appropriate distance.

Although this woman is beautiful, she is thorny.

In Murphy's heart, the weight of the high priest was far greater than hers.

After thinking about it for a while, Murphy had a bad idea.

That is to arrange these people on the original site of the town. The place has been abandoned by Murphy after the last battle, but the basic building facilities are still there. With a little repair, it can be used as a small town, which is more than enough to accommodate these people. And the most critical point is that it is the first line of conflict with the Jackals, which is equivalent to the gateway to the entire territory now!

Murphy's idea is to arrange these people there and let them serve as a line of defense to resist the harassment of the jackals for Murphy.

I believe that these people who lost their land and left their homes because of the gnolls are very happy.

In this way, the Athenian towns could rest easy and develop in peace before helping Lady Elizabeth to counterattack the territory.

With such thoughts in mind, Murphy immediately decided to go to Mrs. Elizabeth and tell her what he meant.

After a busy day, the soldiers who had been defeated were finally arranged.

Mrs. Elizabeth naturally accepted Murphy's proposal. This smart woman certainly understood that Murphy would not place these soldiers near the towns of Athens. She is not the kind of self-righteous vase who is so naive that she thinks that because she is beautiful and has a noble status, all men should treat her well. And in her observation, Murphy has always been a very calm person and a qualified lord.

This was also the key to her decision to cooperate with Murphy and believe that he could help her regain her territory!

Murphy did not intervene in the arrangement of the defeated troops, nor did he show any intention of intervening. He only provided a batch of supplies, and left all the rest to Mrs. Elizabeth herself.

A week passed like this.

Murphy has collected some interesting news this week.

The most interesting thing among them is that human city-states are imitating the Greek infantry phalanx. The slave traders sent by the noble council clearly explained to them the power of the Greek phalanx!

Soldiers in part of the city-state army are changing their fighting methods and training according to the Greek phalanx fighting method.

For this reason, the noble council even asked Murphy to send someone to guide him.

Murphy readily agreed, and then tactfully expressed that the manpower in the territory was very tight, the jackals were ready to move, and the soldiers were not well equipped. He urgently needed a batch of iron ore to forge new equipment.

At this time, the territorial diplomats finally came into use.

After some haggling, both parties reached a satisfactory cooperation.

About the third day after Murphy sent out the instructors, General Leo Dallie also came back. Not only did he bring back three hundred centaur longbows and a group of horses, he even brought a centaur messenger.

And, a beautiful filly.

Okay, Murphy admits that this description is a bit evil...
