The day passed quickly.
Because he made do with the night in the study, Murphy''s spirit was a little depressed when he got up the next day, and he didn''t sleep well on the sofa last night.
After dressing and eating a little porridge as breakfast, he went to the barracks to prepare for the retraining of two teams of Greek infantry.
Yesterday afternoon, he sent out cavalry to patrol, and found that there were more jackals around.
In addition, on the strategic map, jackals gathered in several places.
This is not a good phenomenon!
According to Murphy''s estimation, the jackals were probably brought by the aborigines who were rescued yesterday.
"It seems that the identity of that woman is not simple!" Murphy frowned at the red dots on the strategic map, and knew that he had saved a hot potato yesterday.
Because no blacksmith''s shop was built, the weapons and armor needed to train the army are all donated by the auxiliary system. The number is about 1200 pieces, which is enough to equip five to six Greek infantry regiments or ten to twelve Greek militia. These military materials have not been counted into the resource data, but they are stored in the warehouse.
At the moment, there are more than 300 adult men gathered in the town barracks. They are distributing weapons one by one and forming legions.
Because of the large-scale gathering of jackals, Murphy got up early the next morning and began to train the new army. The person in charge of the training was the newly promoted all-round general Hamilton. Three hundred adult men, nearly a third of the young workforce in the town. Most of these townspeople are tall and muscular, and their physical quality is above average. What they lack is just some fighting skills.
The training time given by the auxiliary system is one round, that is, one month.
But Murphy can''t wait that long. His order to Hamilton is to let them learn some simple fighting skills and how to cooperate in three days. The key to the Greek phalanx is the spear assassination and shield block. These Greek residents who originally belonged to the towns all know this, and with the guidance of the generals, they should soon be able to have a preliminary combat effectiveness.
Murphy doesn''t expect them to have the fighting power of the Greek infantry for a while, but at least with infantry equipment, with the fighting power of the militia?
The barracks is equipped with five instructors, but because of their experience, none of them has reached the level of a general''s entourage.
The auxiliary system does not force the army to train team by team, and it is allowed to train the Legion at the same time. Moreover, under the supervision of the general, the effect of training will be enhanced, but Murphy can''t estimate the specific bonus value. However, when he came back from his inspection of farmland in the morning, the recruits in the barracks had already begun to have a kind of typical assassination training.
A team of intact Greek infantry was assigned to the logging field by Murphy. Now the town is developing rapidly, and there is a great demand for wood. He used an old and simple method as a signal within the town, so that when the Jackal attacked, he could immediately mobilize the army to support him.
The older method is wolf smoke.
Spring wheat has been planted, and simple ditch irrigation has been preliminarily completed. At present, about 500 people are needed to maintain 1000 mu of arable land. The rest, about 700 people, were assigned to build wooden walls by Murphy.
The total war data budget consumption is 800 silver coins, two rounds.
Two months is a long time. Murphy can''t wait that long. However, the data of the auxiliary system is only a vague concept. It may take two months to complete the construction of the wooden wall completely. However, if it is based on reinforcement and heightening, the wooden wall can play a good defensive role without waiting for the complete completion.
This is the blur between reality and data.
Just like the port, according to the data given by the auxiliary system of total war, the current progress of the port is less than 10%, and even a complete foundation has not been built. But the simple fishing boat had already gone down the river. Just now, the herald sent some fat herring to Murphy, saying that the fishermen sent them to honor the governor. Herring is actually herring, a kind of fish with good meat quality and high oil content. It mainly lives in the ocean, but there are also fresh water varieties. The number of herring is spectacular. The west side of the nidoria river is the sea. If there are several herring schools living nearby, the benefits of the fishery will undoubtedly be very considerable!
After a period of understanding, Murphy is also clear《 The auxiliary system of "total war" is to give him a guidance on data. However, after these data are linked with reality, there will be certain fluctuations, and these fluctuations need him to judge by himself.
While Murphy was dealing with the things big and small in the town of Athens, the Aborigines were also carefully observing the town that seemed to fall from the sky.
"Madame Marquis, the residents of the town are very careful. They seem to reject outsiders and don''t talk too much with strangers." At the moment, the middle-aged Knight of the aborigines was standing behind the masked woman to report what he had heard about the town.
"Don''t call me the marquis." The veiled woman frowned slightly, and the magnetic voice had a special charm. She looked coldly at the flower bed in the governor''s mansion and said coldly, "the coward who gave up the city, the people and his wife and fled is not worthy of being an aristocrat!"
"Yes, marquis Elizabeth." The middle-aged man''s eyes were awe inspiring and said in a deep voice.
A deep sadness flashed in the eyes of the woman known as Marquis Elizabeth. She said faintly, "can''t you hear anything?"
"I only heard that they claimed to be Greeks. The god they believed in was a goddess named Athena. The residents here called her the goddess of wisdom. And this town is also named Athens. It seems that the residents here worship this goddess very much. " The middle-aged Knight thought about it and then said, "that young Lord named Murphy has a high reputation in their eyes. The group of soldiers with all the fighting power of Knight rank were called Spartan soldiers. They are the most powerful soldiers among the Greeks. They are known as the guardians of Greek civilization
"Greeks? Does the southern plain seem to have no such people? Do they come from overseas or another piece of land? " The veiled woman closed her eyes and pondered, thinking about this sudden nation. There are many fertile lands on the continent occupied by other intelligent creatures or Warcraft left over from ancient times. In fact, the southern plain is the survival soil captured by humans after expelling the jackals. All along, human beings have been trying to expand their territory. However, because there are too many dangers in the dark land that has not yet been explored, the progress of human exploration has always had little effect.
One hundred and twenty years ago, human beings had made great efforts to open up the southern wilderness to connect the East. But after the terrible counterattack from other creatures, the plan to expand the territory had to be shelved.
Because in the deepest part of the southern wilderness, there is a group of terrestrial dragons
In the northeast of the southern wilderness, about 2500 square kilometers of land there belongs to dixinglong. All creatures that invade their territory will be strongly attacked by the Earth Dragon. The human army suffered unprecedented losses after reckless intrusion!
"This was originally the land belonging to simoton, but it was abandoned as early as a year ago, and all the residents nearby were moved to the rear." Looking at the busy scene outside the governor''s house, the masked woman said faintly, "these Greeks should not have been here long."
"Because humans have moved away, most of the jackals living nearby are females in the clan. Once the army of jackals finds that humans have gathered here again, it will not be long before the army of male jackals will kill them. " The masked woman gazed at the prosperous scene outside with her cold eyes. With pity in her eyes, she said, "I don''t know how long they can last?"
"Hard to say." The middle-aged Knight replied slowly.
"What''s the fighting capacity of that army called Sparta?" The masked woman suddenly asked.
"In the case of one-on-one, their combat power is similar to that of knights." The middle-aged Knight''s eyes were solemn, with a look of admiration, and said slowly: "but as an army, even two elite silver shield infantry are not their opponents!"
"So strong?" The masked woman looked shocked. She asked suspiciously, "but apart from a shield and helmet, they don''t even have a piece of leather armor?"
"That''s what makes them strong!" The middle-aged Knight looked inexplicable. He said slowly: "without armor, you can lighten the burden of your body, have better endurance, and give full play to your fighting skills. Only equipped with a round shield, the only explanation is that they trust their comrades in arms, are willing to give their backs to their comrades in arms, and believe that their comrades in arms are the strongest armor! "
"But..." the masked woman stopped talking.
"Madame, the most terrible thing about this army is their courage!" The middle-aged Knight then said, "this town is very rich. But for the Spartans, they don''t need armor at all. A round shield is enough for them to go to battle
"This is confidence and courage!" Speaking of it, the middle-aged Knight''s face inexplicably appeared a trace of fanaticism!
"How long can they last?" The masked woman asked in a magnetic voice.
The middle-aged Knight sighed and said, "if there are more soldiers like this."
"Maybe there''s a miracle..."
