In May, the crops have been growing vigorously, and the residents of Athens are moving towards hope.


    The drainage system of the city has been completed. With the perfect drainage system, the environment of Athens will be more beautiful. In the past few days, the elite Macedonian light cavalry of 108 men and two teams also completed the training. These light cavalry equipped with saddle stirrups are liberated from the traditional way of fighting. With cross era equipment, they are far more powerful than in the past!


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


    They are charged with the task of detecting harassment and attacking enemy flanks.


    The rainstorm stopped on the fourth day.


    It''s rare for the sky to clear up. After sleeping for several days, Murphy got up early today.


    Almost as soon as Murphy got up, bell and Angela, who had been waiting outside, knew. They came into the room with a basin, one with a soft towel to wipe Murphy''s face, and the other with a glass to gargle him. After a simple grooming, the two girls pick up their clothes and put them on for Murphy. By the way, they talk about some interesting things or gossip in the territory.


    After a period of intimacy, they all know that although Murphy is very strict occasionally, she is usually very easygoing.


    He was very tolerant towards the maids of the governor''s house. Even if he broke anything by mistake, he seldom punished them, and at most he beat them in the palm of the hand. On the contrary, the housekeeper of the governor''s office was more severe, which made them feel afraid.


    As Murphy''s maid, she is a little like the maid of China.


    They sleep next to Murphy''s room. Every day they get up and get everything ready before Murphy wakes up. At night they wait for Murphy to sleep before they go to rest. However, during the day and noon, Murphy was going to inspect the territory. At that time, they had nothing to do and could take time to catch up. I really don''t have much work to do. Besides, I''ll clean the room and help Murphy wash his clothes.


    This month, only 14-year-old xiaolingdang is obviously a little fat, with a small face and two sweet dimples when laughing.


    "My lord Murphy, here comes Mrs. Elizabeth." Outside the door came the voice of a servant.


    "Well? She''s here? " Murphy nodded, raised her hand, pinched the pink face of the bell, and said, "go and ask the kitchen to prepare some food and send it to the hall. Well, prepare one more. "


    "Well." Lingdang nodded cleverly, buttoned Murphy''s coat and answered.


    During this time, Murphy and Mrs. Elizabeth rarely met. Now the aristocratic Parliament of the territory and the human city-state has been set up. Although Murphy did not go to the rear in person, the relationship between them is relatively harmonious. After all, the living environment of human beings in this era is not so pleasant, and the environment of constant disputes among various races still allows human beings to maintain mutual support in the broad sense.


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


    Moreover, Athenian towns also contributed a lot to the human military reform in the southern plain. Intelligence gathered by spies shows that Murphy also has a good reputation in the human rear. When talking about Athens, the Aboriginal people here can''t avoid talking about their young lords and Spartan warriors who can defeat the high jackals. Although there is a certain aristocratic parliament behind this. They need a hero in name. Now that they have to defend passively after losing battle with jackals, even if this human comes from other places, it doesn''t matter.


    Now the most important thing is to rebuild the people''s confidence in defeating the jackals, and then drive the jackals back home in autumn!


    Among the rumors about Murphy, what he did when he reorganized the mercenaries was the most popular. It was the lower class mercenaries who had fought with him that spread all this. For such a military commander who has the courage to bring victory, they are always in high spirits when talking to others.


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


    Charming face painted light makeup, but still can not cover up the face of fatigue and light dark circles. It can be seen that she has spent a lot of effort on the placement of these disabled soldiers, and her whole body seems to be in low spirits.


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


    Lady Elizabeth took a sip of the milk and put it down, as if she had no appetite at all.


    "Is there not enough food, or something else? If I can help, just ask Now there are more than 8000 disabled soldiers gathered under Mrs. Elizabeth''s banner. Although most of them are farmers, they consume a lot of food every day. Murphy helped a lot, and Elizabeth herself raised a sum of money through means, but it was enough. She once mentioned that near the castle lies the wealth accumulated by the family for generations, but now it is the territory of jackals. It''s 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 can be a good politician, but I''m not a qualified militarist."


    "Well?" Murphy had a little doubt.


    There was a struggle on Mrs. Elizabeth''s face, but in the end she said solemnly, "I want you to command the army!"


    "Me?" Murphy laughed and said slowly, "I''m not famous enough for them to obey."


    This era, perhaps with a sentence to describe more appropriate.


    That is, "the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal." Lady Elizabeth''s knights may follow her orders, but they will be very exclusive to themselves, another Lord. Because these family Knights will worry about Murphy depriving them of their rights, Lady Elizabeth commanding them, what they are or what they are. But if Murphy takes over, I''m afraid the first thing to do is to disrupt their establishment and put everything in their own hands. It''s hard to say their status at that time, because it''s up to Murphy to decide everything.


    In short, if Murphy takes over the army, then in the future, if Murphy regains territory.


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


    Belonging to Lady Elizabeth, they will be able to gain the rights of the past. But belongs to Murphy, then all will shuffle! Because it''s impossible for Murphy to return the territory to them.


    Unless Lady Elizabeth marries Murphy, who succeeds as marquis.


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


    However, the possibility is not high.


    Murphy is a lord, the ruler of the town of Athens, the supreme commander of the Greeks! He is not a humble knight. He has his own town and powerful army. How can such a Lord give up his status to inherit the title of marquis?


    Besides, it''s not Murphy''s arrogance. Except for the heavy cavalry, Mrs. Elizabeth''s soldiers are only population in Murphy''s eyes.


    There was a blush on Lady Elizabeth''s face. She opened her mouth to say something, but she didn''t say it in the end.


    She looked at Murphy with a faint sigh and said, "I''m going to give you half of the serfs. That''s part of the deal. "


    In this world, the lowest serfs have no personal freedom. They are the private property of the Lord. The serf fled the territory, and the Lord could execute him according to the law. In terms of status, serfs were only a little higher than slaves.


    Half the serfs?


    That''s close to 2000 people?


    So she can''t support so many people now?


    Murphy nodded and said in a deep voice, "I''ll arrange for a shipment of food and weapons right away."


    To tell you the truth, Murphy appreciates Lady Elizabeth''s point. A deal is a deal. It''s nothing to do with friendship. This woman is very rational and never thinks that others should pay for herself.


    Self improvement and self-confidence.


    Maybe these characters are not suitable for describing a woman.


    When the goal was achieved, Mrs. Elizabeth stood up and walked towards the door. When she got to the door, she suddenly stopped, looked back at Murphy, and whispered, "my husband fled with a whole carriage of silver coins. The funny thing is that the silver coin escaped, but he was left by the jackals. "


    "In other words, I''m a widow now." With a faint sigh, Mrs. Elizabeth turned and left without looking back.


    Murphy was stunned.


    Then there was a long silence
