Chapter 83 The Magician (Part 1)

This period is a busy and tense time for the territory.

The aristocratic council of the human city-states in the southern plains agreed to Murphy's conditions. Grand Duke Rottchild and the other two Grand Dukes are recruiting troops. At that time, the human coalition with a total number of more than 200,000 will carry out a comprehensive campaign against the area occupied by the wolf man. counterattack!

Now that it is decided to send troops, the entire territory is preparing for war. The priests of Kratos, the God of War, all became barracks instructors. Except for daily prayers, they trained soldiers in the city barracks at other times. Under the leadership of the high priest, the priests who lead the temple are making more holy water every day. These holy water will be the key to saving the lives of soldiers in the war.

The Spartan Hoplite Fanatical Infantry has been supplemented to 45, while the Spartan Conqueror, the follower of the God of War Kratos, is currently only 7 due to too high requirements.

Fifteen teams of Greek infantry with a total of 1,200 people are training intensely. They are sweating profusely in the hot summer, training their combat skills more strictly according to the standards of the priests of the Temple of War. Because all the Greek heavy infantry had to be put into battle, Murphy had to re-recruit four additional teams of Greek infantry to maintain law and order in the town.

The blacksmith shop is busy working, and they want to rush out a batch of weapons and armor before the army sets off.

Four teams of Macedonian elite light cavalry with a total of 216 people have been established. At the same time, 8 teams of Athenian longbowmen attacking 400 people have also been included in the statistics by the "Total War" auxiliary system. Together with three teams of 240 Cretan longbowmen, there is currently a strong bow and arrow formation of about 600 people in the city of Athens.

The training of the Greek heavy infantry has been half completed, and they are receiving Spartan combat skills training under the arrangement of the priests of the Temple of War.

The current auxiliary system of "Total War" shows that when the Greek heavy infantry completes the training of the priests of the Temple of War, they will become Greek heavy infantry. After they are all equipped with excellent half-body armor, they will have even stronger combat effectiveness!

Description: Equipped with saddles and stirrups, these cavalrymen's hands are immediately free from combat. This allows them to launch a powerful charge on the enemy! They are all elite riders, and they are not just responsible for the harassment of light cavalry. When the time is right, they can attack the enemy's flanks and rear! They are able to slice through enemy formations with a powerful charge!

Please don't let them attack the enemy head-on. Although they are elite, they are not heavy cavalry.

This is the current main arm of the city of Athens.

The frontal phalanx is dominated by Greek heavy infantry, and their powerful frontal force is not far behind that of Spartan heavy infantry.

The cavalry is made up of Macedonian elite cavalry, and the general guards of the generals, including Murphy, are also reforming in this regard. The archers are based on the Cretan longbowmen as the main force, and the Athens longbowmen as the auxiliary. They can use the longbow's ultra-long range and penetration to effectively annihilate the enemy.

After some mobilization, the city of Athens can currently mobilize about 1,900 troops, including 1,200 Greek heavy infantry, 108 Macedonian elite light cavalry, 240 Cretan longbowmen and 400 Athenian longbowmen. The rest of the soldiers were arranged to stay in the city of Athens, responsible for maintaining the city's defense and law and order.

After counting the materials transported by the human city-state, Murphy decided to take a look inside the barracks while it was still early.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the supply of the barracks during this period was two meals of meat a day. Most of the fish provided in the port was consumed by the soldiers. Coupled with the materials supported by the noble council, it has been able to maintain the nutritional consumption of the soldiers. After several months of training, all the soldiers in the city of Athens had extremely strong bodies, and their bulging muscles were like sculptures!

This symbolizes strength!

Among the 4,000 farmers that the Marquise Elizabeth handed over to Murphy, he selected 1,500 adult men of decent physique to be trained by the priests of the Temple of War. The standards followed are the requirements of the Greek militia, and now they have initially taken shape. Murphy does not intend to use them as the main combat force, as long as they can meet the label of the auxiliary legion. At the very least, they can bandage the wounds of the main soldiers after the battle, harvest the undead enemies on the ground, coordinate the defense line, and so on.

The other farmers were scattered by Murphy and incorporated into the urban population as a labor force.

After some statistics.

The Greek city sent 2,000 troops, the Marquise Elizabeth sent 2,500 troops, plus the 5,000 people that the human city-states will send. The size of the army probably reached 9,500 people.

Among them, there are less than 8,000 people who really have combat effectiveness.

"How's the progress of the training?" Murphy immediately felt a dignified atmosphere when he walked into the city barracks.

Since the priests of Kratos, the god of war, have taken over the training of the city barracks, there has been a dignified atmosphere in the entire barracks. The priest of the God of War Kratos has no mercy at all, let alone a little mercy. The priests held a whip, and as soon as they saw a soldier who was not serious about training and slacking off, he would whip him down on the spot!

These priests of the god of war are also powerful fighters, and the lazy soldiers will be bruised immediately with a whip! It can be said that most of the soldiers in the barracks were whipped by them during the cruel training during this period.

Among the farmers that the Marquise Elizabeth handed over to Murphy, there was even a small riot because of the cruel training.

The riot was immediately suppressed.

The head priest of the Temple of War, the tall and dark man like an iron tower, pulled out the double knives behind his back on the spot, and beheaded the 21 soldiers who caused the riot in less than a minute at a speed that ordinary people could hardly catch!

The way of beheading is quite bloody.

All soldiers who were dissatisfied with the cruel training and resisted were beheaded!

The realm of Kratos, the god of war, is conquest, and so is his priest.

They won't reason with the soldiers and want to resist?

Either you kill him or he kills you!

"They may not be afraid of the enemy, but they are not qualified fighters yet." The head priest of the War Temple smiled casually, he was a taciturn man who used his actions more than his words. He pointed at the peasants who were being trained by the priests of the temple, and said in a deep voice, "These people are all peasants, and it is difficult for them to become familiar with the fighting methods in a short period of time."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have the initial combat power." Murphy himself didn't have too many expectations of these farmers, as long as they didn't collapse when facing the jackals.

"How is the training progress of the Greek hoplites?" Murphy looked at the farmers who were training. They were learning the fighting style of the Greek spear phalanx under the whip of the priest.

"They are all excellent fighters. They will be able to complete the final training within half a month at most." Speaking of the Greek hoplites, the dark face of the chief priest of the War Temple revealed a look of satisfaction. He said in a deep voice, "Although it is not up to the standard of Spartan heavy infantry, it is much better than other soldiers."

Murphy nodded.

The backbone of the battlefield has to be supported by these Greek heavy infantry, they are the foundation of victory.

At this moment, an attendant from the general's guard walked in quickly, and said to Murphy, "My lord governor, a man who calls himself Merlin wants to see you."
