(second, that''s all for today. For next Monday''s recommendation.)
-------------------------------------------
From Murphy''s determination to cooperate with Mrs. Elizabeth, from the alliance of 27 local nobles, from the decision of Athens to form a mercenary Union, everything in Murphy''s plan is like a huge net, which not only envelops the aristocratic Council, but also envelops the whole human world in the southern plain.
The foreign aid of the centaurs, the friendliness of the semielves, and the trade relations with the barbarians.
The foundation of Murphy''s step-by-step formation has become unbreakable, and even the current aristocratic parliament has no way to take him.
Now, the only way for the aristocratic Council to recover the defeat is to carry out the same comprehensive campaign against goblins and Goutou bandits as Athens. As long as they can make achievements in this campaign, they can still firmly grasp the power of the human city-state in the southern plain by virtue of their ruling prestige for nearly a thousand years. But even if they do something, it doesn''t matter to Murphy.
Murphy has the auxiliary system of total war. Only by using the strategic map page in the auxiliary system to lock, can he be sure to carry out such a large-scale campaign. Because every large-scale gathering point of goblin Goutou bandits will be counted on the strategy map page by the auxiliary system. No matter how they run away, Murphy always has a way to find them.
In addition, the powerful information transmission network of the mercenary Union and the cooperation between noble mercenaries all over the world are the important reasons why he finally decided to carry out such a large-scale military operation!
But what does the aristocratic Council have?
They have nothing!
Although their human, material and financial resources are far more than those of Athens, there is no "total war" auxiliary system to lock the position, no mercenary union to collect and transmit information, and no cohesion of Athens alliance to cooperate wholeheartedly. Even if the aristocratic Council is 100 times better than Athens in human, material and financial resources, how much can it achieve?
I''m afraid that the aristocrats who are not willing to send troops to the parliament alone are enough to make several Archduke headache, right?
Over a long period of time, the decadence of power has already made the aristocratic Council a bloated, slow, old and shabby machine, and the complicated interest relations among various families have become the shackles to the operation of this old machine. In fact, after the aristocratic Council made this decision, Murphy was able to meet the final outcome.
Because the end is doomed.
He didn''t need to swallow such a huge thing as the aristocratic Council, or even more territory.
The fertile land of Athens is enough to support more than 200000 people. All he needs to do is to ensure Athens''s powerful army, rich city, civilization and stability. Then, driven by the general trend, the establishment of the Principality of Athens will erode the power of the aristocratic parliament bit by bit. More and more aristocrats will abandon the old Parliament and choose to join the League of the principality. As long as they join the League of the principality, then all the arrangements are up to him.
Of course, these assumptions are established without strong external forces.
If human beings in the whole southern plain will face other external pressures, then the end may be the collapse of the whole aristocratic Council, and that will be the process of Athens taking over everything.
Under the strong fighting power of Spartan soldiers, the only decision these old nobles can make is to surrender! Because in this turbulent era, only a strong army is the foundation of everything!
There are too many barren lands in this world.
What Murphy wants is the people, or the population of the future.

---------------------------------------------
At noon the next day, Murphy finally got what he was waiting for.
The group he sent to the karazan mountains finally came back with a letter from the queen of the falcons, Ivana. It seems that the birth of the falconer in the legend originated from the cursed high elves, not just a rumor. Otherwise, as a very rare problem, elvish writing is rarely mastered by other races.
Although Murphy is involved in elvish writing, he is not so proficient in high elvish writing.
But it doesn''t matter. In arcane magic, there is a very practical level 0 spell, which is reading. This low-level spell can translate most of the characters used by many species. If the user is powerful enough, even some of the Titan characters of the last era can be translated. It''s not very difficult for Murphy to understand the letter of avina the Falcon by reading.
The content of the letter is very simple, that is, the queen of the falcons, Ivana, has an appointment with Murphy to talk about her territory.
"To the eagle''s territory?"
Murphy gave up without thinking about it.
He was the governor of Athens, the commander of the army, and even the root of everything. It is impossible for him to venture to the territory of the eagles where his enemies and friends are unknown. Moreover, the chief priests of the God of war and the generals of Athens may not agree with him to go.
And he didn''t have to risk his life for a trade.
This is a very stupid decision!
Putting down the letter from the eagle queen, Ivana, Murphy turns to ask about what happened to them.
Why didn''t you come back until now.
Murphyton frowned at this question. It turns out that after finding the gathering place of the eagles, the group sent by Murphy did not get an interview from the queen of eagles, but was imprisoned by a group of eagles.
Until the news was known by the queen of the Falcon, Ivana, and handed in Murphy''s ring to them, they got a chance to meet her royal highness. What makes Murphy hard to make clear is that after handing in the ring, the queen of eagles did not meet these people immediately, but waited until the next day to give them the letter.
"What''s the reason for that?"
This information makes it impossible for Murphy to understand exactly what the intention of Queen Avena is. There is no clear hostility, and there is no intention to show friendliness. For the moment, it can only be regarded as neutrality. For these, according to Murphy''s inference, either the eagle queen Evanna didn''t care too much about saving her, or the eagle people were very wary of other races.
These messengers with Murphy''s Keepsake were sent by a letter. It''s hard for Murphy to agree that these eagles are friendly.
And from the legend that has been circulating all the time, this kind of creature belongs to the kind of chaotic and evil creature by nature. This has to let Murphy in the bottom of his heart to do a few plans.
"What are the numbers of the falcons?" Murphy gazed at the officer in front of him.
This issue is very important for Murphy, because it determines how he will arrange his next plan, and even affects the direction of Athens for a long time in the future.
"A lot!" The officer assigned by Murphy to the karazan mountains nodded and said, "I don''t know the exact number, but they are very large!"
"Along the interior peaks of the karazan mountains, their nests stretch for more than ten miles!"
"I''m afraid that even if their population is less than 100000, it won''t be too far apart!"
100000?!
Murphy was shocked and said, "so much!"
"Governor, the eagles don''t fly high, and they don''t wear any armor. Their hands are connected with wings, and they can only attack with their claws when they fly. In addition to the unknown strength of the high eagles, our longbowmen can easily shoot them down As a soldier, the officer assigned by Murphy to the karazan mountains clearly analyzed the enemy''s abilities and weaknesses.
"Show me the general figure of those ordinary eagles." Murphy''s heart was at ease. He pointed to the sand table in front of him and said to the officer.
"Yes. Your excellency. " The Officer immediately drew on the sand table the morphological features of the ordinary Eagle man.
The height of an ordinary falconry is about 1.6 meters. It has a pair of arms, but the periosteum extends behind the arms and grows into a pair of wings. In other words, the arms and wings of these falconry are connected together. While flying, they keep flapping their arms. From their physical characteristics, Murphy''s judgment of their flight endurance and height is also quite limited.
After all, the humanoid body and not too broad wings greatly limit their ability to fly.
Perhaps the real danger should be those high falcons who have escaped the curse and have undergone mysterious evolution. These creatures that have recovered the form of high elves are definitely not so easy to deal with. Moreover, this kind of morphological characteristics similar to those of angels in previous lives is very stressful just to look at them. If there is any God who regards these female only high Eagle body people as the vassal race, will they become the angels in the earth myth?
This idea made Murphy think of the meeting point of history.
………………
After thinking for a moment, Murphy had a new plan in mind.
He looked at the tired officer in front of him and said, "go back and have a rest for one night, and tomorrow you will go to the eagle body gathering place again. Tell them to negotiate, but the location must be outside the karazan mountains. Otherwise, there is no possibility! "
It''s impossible to venture to the falconer''s nest alone. Murphy''s biggest concession is to put the negotiation site outside the karazan mountains.
"Yes, governor!" The officer went away with a solemn face.
