It's May, the crops planted are already growing vigorously, and the residents of Athens towns are also moving towards hope.

The city's drainage canal system has been completed. With a complete drainage system, the environment of Athens' towns will be more beautiful. In the past few days, the elite Macedonian light cavalry organized into two teams of 108 people also completed training. These light cavalry equipped with saddles and stirrups were liberated from traditional combat methods. With the cross-era equipment, they are far more powerful than before!

The role of light cavalry in cold weapon combat is irreplaceable!

They are responsible for reconnaissance, harassment, and attacking enemy flanks.

The heavy rain stopped on the fourth day.

The sky rarely cleared up, and Murphy got up early today after sleeping for several days.

Almost as soon as Murphy got up, Ling Ding and Angela, who had been waiting outside, knew about it. They walked into the room with a basin, one wiped Murphy's face with a soft towel, and the other picked up a water glass to rinse his mouth. After a brief wash, the two girls picked up clothes and put them on for Murphy, while telling some interesting things or gossip that happened in the territory.

After being close for a period of time, they both knew that although Murphy could be strict occasionally, he was usually very easy-going.

He was very tolerant towards the maids in the Governor's Mansion. Even if he accidentally broke something, he rarely punished them. At most, he only slapped their palms. In contrast, the housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion was more severe, which made them feel intimidated.

As Murphy's personal maid, her nature is a bit like that of Middle-earth's personal maid.

They sleep next to Murphy's room. They have to get up before Murphy wakes up every day to get everything ready. At night, they have to wait for Murphy to fall asleep before going to rest. However, during the day and noon, Murphy went to inspect the territory. At that time, they had nothing to do and could take time to catch up on their sleep. There wasn't really much work to do. Apart from that, I just cleaned the room and helped Murphy starch and wash the clothes.

In this month, Xiao Lingdang, who is only fourteen years old, has obviously gained a little weight. She has a fleshy face and two sweet dimples when she smiles.

"Mr. Murphy, Mrs. Elizabeth is here." The attendant's voice came from outside the door.

"Huh? Is she here?" Murphy nodded, raised his hand and pinched Ling Dang's tender little face, and said, "Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some food and send it to the hall. Well, prepare an extra portion. "

"Yeah." Lingdang nodded obediently, buttoned up Murphy's shirt, and responded.

During this period, Murphy and Lady Elizabeth rarely met. Now the noble councils in the territory and human city-states have established a line. Although Murphy did not go to the rear in person, the relationship between them is still relatively harmonious. After all, the living environment of human beings in this era is not so comfortable. The environment of constant disputes between various races still allows human beings to maintain mutual support in a general sense.

In such a chaotic era, it is better to have one more ally than one more enemy.

Moreover, the towns of Athens also contributed a lot to the human military reform in the southern plains. The intelligence collected by spies shows that Murphy also has a good reputation among the human beings. When the indigenous humans here talk about Athens, they always cannot avoid talking about their young lords and the Spartan warriors who can defeat the high-level gnolls head-on. Although there was a certain push from the noble council behind this. They need a nominal hero. Now that they have been defeated and can only passively defend against the jackals, it doesn't matter even if this human comes from somewhere else.

The most important thing now is to rebuild the people's confidence in defeating the gnolls, and then drive the gnolls back to their hometown in the autumn!

Among the rumors about Murphy, what he did when he organized the mercenaries was the most widely circulated. The people who spread all this were naturally the lower-level mercenaries who fought with him. For such a military commander who has the courage to bring victory, they are always beaming when talking to others.

When I saw Lady Elizabeth again, she was much more haggard than before.

There was light makeup on her charming face, but it still couldn't hide the fatigue on her face and the faint dark circles under her eyes. It could be seen that she had put a lot of effort into arranging these remnant soldiers, and she seemed a little depressed.

"Didn't you have breakfast? Eat something." Murphy sat down and raised his hand slightly towards Mrs. Elizabeth, indicating that she should eat something first.

Lady Elizabeth picked up the milk, took a sip, and then put it down. She seemed to have no appetite at all.

"Is there not enough food, or something else? If I can help, just ask." There are now more than 8,000 remnant soldiers gathered under Lady Elizabeth. Although most of them are farmers, so many people eat and consume every day. There is also a lot of food. Murphy helped a lot, and Mrs. Elizabeth herself raised a sum of funds through various means, but it was still barely enough. She once mentioned that the wealth accumulated by her family for generations was buried near the castle, but that place was now the territory of the Jackals, and it would be a dream to take it out.

There was a slight hesitation on Mrs. Elizabeth's face. She looked at Murphy for a long time and then said with difficulty: "I may be an excellent politician, but I am not a qualified military strategist."

"Huh?" Murphy had a little doubt in his heart.

Mrs. Elizabeth struggled a little, but in the end she said with a serious expression: "I want you to command the army!"

"Me?" Murphy smiled and said slowly: "My reputation is not enough to make them obey."

Perhaps one sentence is more appropriate to describe this era.

That is ‘My vassal’s vassal is not my vassal. ’ Lady Elizabeth’s knights may obey her orders, but they will obviously be very repulsive to themselves, the other lord. Because these family knights will worry about Murphy depriving them of their rights and Lady Elizabeth commanding them, they are what they are. But if Murphy takes over, the first thing he will probably do is disrupt their organization and take everything into his own hands. It's hard to say where they stand at that point, because everything will be decided by Murphy.

To put it simply, if Murphy takes over the army, he will regain his territory in the future.

It's hard to say who the territory belongs to.

Belonging to Lady Elizabeth, they would be able to claim their former rights. But if it belongs to Murphy, everything will be reshuffled! Because it is impossible for Murphy to return the territory to them.

Unless Lady Elizabeth marries Murphy, Murphy will inherit the title of Marquis.

At that time, according to the tradition of human city-state nobles, the status of these family knights will be guaranteed.

However, this possibility is not high.

Murphy was a lord, the ruler of the Athenian town, and the supreme commander of the Greeks! He is not a lowly knight. He has his own town and a powerful army. How could such a lord put down his identity to inherit the title of a marquis?

Besides, it's not that Murphy is arrogant. In addition to the heavy cavalry, Lady Elizabeth's soldiers are nothing more than population in Murphy's eyes.

A blush appeared on Lady Elizabeth's face, and she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

She looked at Murphy, sighed quietly, and said, "I plan to hand over half of the serfs to you. This is also part of the deal."

In this world, serfs at the lowest level have no personal freedom. They are the private property of the lord. If a serf escapes from his territory, according to the law, the lord can execute him. In terms of status, serfs were only slightly higher than slaves.

Half the serfs?

That’s a population of close to 2,000?

In other words, she can no longer feed so many people?

Murphy nodded and said solemnly: "I will arrange for someone to transport a batch of food and weapons right away."

To be honest, Murphy admires this about Mrs. Elizabeth. A transaction is a transaction, and it has nothing to do with friendship. This woman is very sensible and never thinks that others should pay for herself.

Self-reliant and confident.

Perhaps these qualities are not suitable to describe a woman.

With her goal accomplished, Mrs. Elizabeth stood up and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Murphy, and whispered: "My husband fled the territory with a whole carriage of silver coins." .The funny thing is that Silver Coin escaped, but he was left behind by the Jackal."

"In other words, I am a widow now." Mrs. Elizabeth sighed quietly, turned around and left without looking back.

Murphy was stunned when he heard this.

Then, there was a long silence...
