-----------------------------------------
The night is as cool as water.
At night, the whole city of Athens was quiet and serene. The citizens had already fallen asleep, and only the dreary footsteps of the patrols were on the broad streets.
Step on, step on!
Murphy retreated and came to the temple of leadership alone.
Looking at the vivid statue of the goddess of wisdom on the central square, he did not know why he thought of the high priest in his heart again. That kind of faint yearning, like silk and thread, always appeared in his mind.
That is always very quiet, but can appease tired, let him miss the woman.
In August, the moon is round and bright.
A round of the moon hanging in the night sky, cold moonlight on the earth, shadowy, inexplicably let the world a bit more graceful.
"What do lizards want?" Murphy leaped forward, more than ten meters in height. With the palm of his hand on the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Murphy turned over to take advantage of it. Then, with the tip of his foot, Murphy leaped onto the roof of the temple, which is more than ten meters high.
The height of three stories.
So easy to go up, this is the thing that Murphy did not dare to think.
But now he can do it easily. Unconsciously, even he didn''t realize it. War and killing have sharpened him to what he is now. Now he is equivalent to the martial arts master in those stories. He can climb the cliff with his bare hands, jump several feet away, smash the hard stone tablet with one hand, and fly over the eaves and walls!
"It''s only two years. Why do you think it''s been so long?" Lying on the roof of the temple of leadership, Murphy put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky for a round of understanding, as if whispering to himself.
"It''s really like a dream!"
Murphy can''t remember the time when he was on earth. It''s like things that have been separated for a long time, many things have become some strange nouns.
Looking up at the moon above her head, Murphy narrowed her eyes and lay down as if she were asleep.
After half a ring.
He finally opened his eyes. There was a faint light in his black eyes. He held his hand on the sword at his waist. The friction from the handle made him feel relieved.
"Sonorous!"
Murphy pulled out his sword at his waist. The cold edge was shining in the moonlight. He pointed his sword to the moon at the top of his head, and there was an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth.
He has never been a man who indulges in memories!
………………
--------------------------------------------
early morning.
"Chief... Governor!" The herald finally found Murphy on the roof of the leadership temple.
Hearing the straightforward voice of the herald, Murphy slowly opened his eyes. In fact, he woke up a long time ago, but he didn''t want to give up the moment of peace and relaxation. People like him who have too much power and too much responsibility sometimes feel tired. He is not a heartless plant, he can not ignore the lives of the people, can not ignore those who silently follow his footsteps Spartan soldiers.
He has built a cold and resolute shell for himself, which will never fail, but this does not mean that he will not be tired, and there will be no weakness in his heart.
Once upon a time, he was accompanied by a high priest.
But now he is alone, so he must learn to find a moment of peace for himself.
It won''t take long.
One night is enough for a man like him.
"What''s the matter?" He jumped down from the roof of the temple more than ten meters high. With a dull sound of "touch", Murphy knelt down on one knee to remove his strength. Then he stood up calmly, looked at the herald in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "what are you doing in such a hurry?"
The herald looked at Murphy as if nothing had happened. Then he looked at the height of the temple roof. He immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "the Lord priestess of war is back."
"Well. I see Murphy nodded, raised her hand, patted the dust on her body, and walked toward the Council room.
Around the temple, there are many devout believers who perform morning prayers. They look at the governor from a distance, who easily jumps down from the roof more than ten meters high. There is a trace of awe in their eyes. This height, if ordinary people jump down, I''m afraid they will die! But the governor had nothing to do with it. Since he left, it was like jumping down a ladder.
The legend of Murphy''s divine blood has been around for a long time.
Although there has been no clear statement, what we saw this morning has made those believers more and more convinced of this.
Inner city of Athens, barracks.
The chief priest of the God of war led a group of Crete bowmen to return. Two teams of Greek heavy infantry with him carried large wooden boxes. These big wooden boxes were heavy and heavy, and seemed to contain many valuables.
"Governor!" The priestess of war gave Murphy a bloody feather and said in a deep voice.
This man who is used to silence is not good at words, but he also has his own way of expression. Murphy looked at the gray and bloody feathers, then looked at the boxes of wealth that had been moved in, and nodded with satisfaction. He looked back, did not see the figure of the Spartan conqueror, when even understand that these powerful and inherited the characteristics of the God of war chief priests soldiers have returned to the temple.
Besides fighting, these soldiers prayed and trained in the temple of war.
They are all devout believers.
"What about the loss?" Murphy opened a box, which was shining with silver in the sunlight.
"Six dead, no loss to the conqueror. But the winged queen was slightly injured The priestess of war had no expression on his face. The chest full of wealth could not attract his eyes at all. He looked at Murphy and replied.
"Well." Murphy nodded when she heard that queen Ivana was slightly injured.
"Governor! I need some dragon''s blood. I want to use the dragon''s blood to activate the blood of other Spartan soldiers and strengthen their strength. " The chief priest of war looked at the rear of the barracks and said in a deep voice.
"Oh?" Murphy looked up in disbelief.
"The power of Kratos comes from killing. I think the blood of some powerful creatures will more easily stimulate the hidden power in the blood of soldiers." The priestess replied truthfully.
"Well. I''ll arrange for someone to prepare at once. " Murphy''s heart moved, slightly excited.
………………
Boxes of wealth were sent to the Treasury, and Murphy''s worries, which had been accumulating for nearly half a year, finally disappeared.
He almost nonstop summoned all the officials in Athens to explain in detail the planning steps of Athens expansion into a big city. And because of the abundant funds, several facilities that he had postponed preparation for later construction also began to start construction. Murphy, who has money in his hand, is very proud. He almost takes all the buildings needed by the big city, and is ready to upgrade them all at one time!
The cooperation with queen Avena is simple. Murphy helps her get rid of the Presbyterian group, then sends the seeds of poppies and provides them with some food when necessary.
In return, Queen EVANA gives all the treasures from Yu Bailong to Murphy.
Of course, the wealth is mainly concentrated in gold and silver. The jewels collected by the white dragon are so attractive to any female creature that they are left behind by Queen Avena as a collection.
Murphy didn''t care much about that.
Gold and silver are the hard currency of the world, but jewelry is not easy to use. Because although these things are very valuable, their value must be able to be exchanged. Otherwise, these jewels are just some colorful stones. In this turbulent era, frequent wars have minimized the demand for luxury goods of many ethnic groups.
No matter how pedantic the nobles are, they will not spend their precious resources on the useless and gorgeous decoration of jewelry at this time.
There is enough silver and gold to upgrade Athens into a big city.
For these jewelry, Murphy did not have much interest, because for him, practical things are what he needs. So we might as well leave these behind and give queen Evanna a good influence in a non greedy manner.
This is a potential ally, worthy of Murphy''s investment!
************************************************************************************************
The total value of the capital injection of more than 500000 silver coins, totalling about 56000 gold coins, immediately made the whole Athens flow with the breath of wealth.
A large number of materials were purchased, a large amount of money was spilled out, and the whole Athens was in full swing after the funds were in place!
The goblin laborers were carrying heavy stones with high spirits. The koufen slaves were digging the foundation with great enthusiasm. Some clever goblin laborers also learned some simple work in more than a year, and they were doing something for human craftsmen. Although these creatures are cunning, they are far smarter than other creatures. Many of them have learned human language and know how to do simple things.
The governor has just announced to them that as long as they work hard, everyone will be able to eat a piece of fish at dinner from today on.
Nothing motivates these creatures more than meat.
Work and eat.
Work hard and have meat.
The simple truth is that it is not difficult for them to understand.
As for Murphy, the supply of fish in Athens has exceeded the standard, and the soldiers generally say that the pigs and beasts are almost fattened now, so it''s time to change their appetite. Even if they kill a dozen of them for ten days and a half months, they will be satisfied!
Murphy sympathized with the Athenian soldiers and realized that they had been eating fish for more than a year, so they should have something else. However, these supplies of fish and dried fish can not be wasted. After all, food preservation is more troublesome in this era. Because of its large number, Murphy awarded it to some aboriginal serfs. Even these goblins and koufen slaves were able to eat a few pieces of fish.
In another month, it will be the time for squatting fish to swim back. At that time, it will be the harvest season of the whole nidoria river. At that time, the squatting fish swimming back from the coast will spread all over the river, and the lake can even see a piece of shimmering light. Every time I come to this world, I will live in the harvest time of living organisms along the river bank, and it is also the time for them to store food for the winter.
Athens fishing boats have the advantage of hundreds of years ahead of this era, which means a big harvest at this time!
Maybe there will be less and less squatting fish in the future, but at least for now, every time this season comes, it means that almost most of the creatures living around the nidoria river will not lack food during the month of squatting fish''s return. In the age of poor population, it often means that the material in the wild is unprecedented rich!

"Legion barracks (construction progress 10%): this spectacular barracks is often the largest building complex in the city except the palace. It has perfect training facilities, which can systematically and formally train soldiers on a large scale. Its scale can make those who have misguided ideas give up immediately!
The training here is very strict. The team trained here is one of the best armies in the world. "
(add recruits: Spartan heavy infantry (Spartan military training starts!) Macedonian Royal long spearmen (super long guns), silver shield long spearmen, silver shield square infantry.)
"Grand Racecourse (construction progress 15%): the grand Racecourse trains the elite of the elite cavalry - the king''s guard cavalry. It is also one of the best buildings in the city, where the trained troops are elite noble troops. The racecourse is spectacular. It can accommodate and train horses and other animals. Trainers and armor makers can also make armor for any animal, including elephants and mammoths! "
(add recruits: Armored Cavalry, armored elephant)
"Catapult range (construction progress 13%): long range attack on the enemy is always a good tactic, because he can only be hit, and it is difficult to counterattack. The ejection range allows artillery, archers and Javelin Soldiers to play freely when they focus on training, and there is no need to worry about accidental injury. The engineering soldiers who build large-scale long-range weapons are nearby, and they can provide technical support for training personnel at any time. Other long-range troops can also use the range for training. "
(increase recruitment: Athenian Bowman (combat experience + 1), continuous firing catapult, stone crossbow (catapult).)
"Big business district (construction progress 30%):..."
"Elevated aqueduct (construction progress 12%):..."
"Canal irrigation (construction progress 45%):..."
………………
Looking at the construction progress of the auxiliary system of total war, murphyton felt satisfied.
The feeling of being rich is different. In his opinion, the buildings that used to cost tens of thousands of silver coins are just drizzle now. With sufficient manpower, he began to upgrade the building complex on a large scale. In order to speed up the construction progress, he spent a lot of money to buy building materials from other places.
He has been adamant that money is money only when it is spent, and it can only be regarded as precious metal reserve when it is left in hand.
………………
----------------------------------------
The construction progress of Athens began to accelerate, and the abundant funds greatly improved the labor of all people.
When the citizens of Athens were building their own city with high spirits, the Athenian army also brought back bursts of good news.
first!
Even if the goblins and Goutou bandits in Athens and the surrounding areas of the Athenian alliance were cleaned up, the merchants no longer had to worry about being robbed by a group of alien bandits rushing out of the mountains.
When the aristocratic Council was still busy looking for the goblins and the gangsters, Athens had already completed all the operations.
All kinds of bandits are in the air over the southern plain!
This time, the aristocratic Council not only failed, but also completely defeated. In the end, the aristocratic Council could only hold a meeting again, and hastily ended the campaign to eliminate the alien bandits. Fortunately, it caught up with the lizard people''s movement at this time, and more or less found a cover for their failure. Let the decadent aristocratic Council be able to say that we are not unable to eliminate the alien bandits, but because of the abnormal movements of the lizards, we have to send our troops back to prevent them from threatening the security of the whole southern plain.
………………
As soon as the extermination of foreign bandits was completed, the Athenian troops sent to various places began to rush back.
Although many of these soldiers are selected from the aborigines, their combat effectiveness is not weak, especially after receiving the cruel Spartan training of the war temple, these aborigines can be said to be excellent soldiers! With adequate nutrition, strict training and the guidance of war Temple priests, these Aboriginal soldiers grew up very quickly.
This time, Murphy sent them out to eliminate the alien bandits, in order to exercise their practical skills.
When the army converged, there was no loophole in Athens''s defense.
After urban construction became formal and could be handed over to the generals and internal officials, Murphy began to mobilize the first corps of Athens and some elite Aboriginal troops to prepare for his second plan.
Because the message has been delivered.
The southward migration of the bear goblins is close to Athens.
After getting the news, murphyton couldn''t help sighing: "this is really - sending charcoal in the snow!"
Not only to the door, but also in time. Just in time for Athens to upgrade into a big city and lack of strong labor force, Murphy has to sigh that the meaning of these bear goblins'' life is for this moment!
The meaning of their existence is to do coolie for Athens!
