Chapter 16: The Servant (Part 2) ()

Three days passed quickly.

With hundreds of experienced crew members, the port is planning and construction very quickly. This morning, dozens of simple fishing boats have already gone down the river to catch fish. From today on, the port can supply some fish to towns regularly every day.

The expansion of the temple is still in progress, and the second batch of Greek infantry in the town barracks are also being trained. In these days, not only Murphy has obtained a "genius navigator" as the entourage, but the new general Hammerton has also obtained an "instructor" with outstanding abilities as the entourage. Murphy now has a little understanding of the entourage in the auxiliary system of "Total War". As of now, all those who can be recognized by the auxiliary system as having entourage potential have very professional talents in their industry. They are all excellent, and their abilities are excellent enough to make them evaluated by the auxiliary system to become the entourage of the general.

Murphy's attitude towards those Aboriginal people has always been cold and unrestrained.

He neither deliberately approached them nor neglected their food and food. Although Marquis Elizabeth had a charming face that made people beat, his sensitive intuition told Murphy that such a woman was not easy to mess with. Even if she deliberately showed her closeness, Murphy carefully kept an appropriate distance. These indigenous people would definitely have something to be useful in the future, so relationships must be learned to grasp a degree.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous it is.

"Instructors (excellent instructors know how to train the army faster and better, and save the expenses of training the army) military mobility +5, training cost -20%.

This entourage was obviously cultivated and discovered by Hammerton during the training of the army.

The second batch of troops trained was about 240, and all of them were strong men selected from the crew. Most of them had certain combat skills and they were twice the result with half the effort when they were trained.

On the strategic map, the gnolls are more and more active, and it seems that the tribes they live nearby also know that they have a great enemy like Murphy. In the past few days, three or five gnolls have gathered together one after another.

Fortunately, Murphy has wiped out the largest clan, which has more than 300 adult werewolfs in advance.

The blacksmith shop has begun to be established, but because there is no iron ore, the broken weapons can only be re-smelted. If you want to truly form the system of the town's blacksmith shop, Murphy must first find sufficient and stable sources of iron ore. Currently, there is only one open-pit coal mine in the territory of the town, and Murphy has not yet mined it. If the source of iron ore can be obtained, plus this open-pit coal mine, it will undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort!

"Governor General, General Hammerton asked me to invite you over." Just as Murphy was preparing to count the remaining resources in the town, General Hammerton's messenger came to the Governor's house and reported respectfully.

"Hmm? I'll be here soon." Hammerton has a very excellent management talent. During this period, Murphy has left him to handle the basic operation of the territory and the training of the army, and he handled it in an orderly manner.

But I don’t know what it is to invite myself to go there at this time?

Is there any problem he can't handle?

Leaving the matter at hand to the financial officer around him, Murphy sorted out his clothes and rushed towards the military camp.

The financial officer he has recently promoted is average in ability, and his data statistics and calculation ability can only be said to be a little better than that of ordinary urban residents, and has not yet reached the level of being evaluated as a "minister" by the auxiliary system. So many things have to be done by Murphy himself.

When Murphy arrived at the barracks, three Greek infantry were training in the square. The three teams of infantry trained before had already had basic combat power. As long as they were trained in actual combat, they would be qualified soldiers. Now there are 8 armies in the town, six Greek infantry, two general guards, and a team of Spartan heavy infantry, a total of 609 regular troops.

Once the newly trained 240 people meet the standard, the Athenian town will have an army of about 850 people.

The army that is close to one-third of the population!

With the gnolls standing by, Murphy had to train as many soldiers as possible. Because the large number of werewolves gathered outside had told Murphy that a fierce battle was about to come!

After inspecting the military camp, Murphy found that the person in charge of the military training was not the new general Hammerton, but a middle-aged man with a tall and tall figure, about forty years old, with a firm and solemn expression and strong muscles.

This man has a strong military aura and is an iron-blooded soldier who has experienced the killing scene!

"Governor." Just as Murphy was inspecting the military camp, the new general Hammerton had already trotted to him. The soldier with a firm face like a stubborn stone bent down to salute Murphy and said respectfully: "I want to promote someone as the chief instructor. He has richer experience in training the army than me!"

"Chief Instructor?" Murphy was a little questioned when he heard this, and he said, "You can sign such an appointment by yourself. You don't have to ask me at all."

Chief Instructor? Is it the middle-aged man who is training the army?

"He...he is my father..." Hammerton's face showed a rare hint of embarrassment. He stared at Murphy and said slowly.

"Your father?" Murphy understood it himself. He laughed, patted Hammerton, who was half a head taller than him, and said, "I heard that there is a saying in the East that is called 'Tiger Father without Dogs'. Since he is your father, I feel even more at ease."

A hint of gratitude appeared on Hammerton's face. He straightened his chest and said in a deep voice: "My father is a real soldier. He knows better than me how to train the army and tell the recruits how to fight!"

At this moment, the auxiliary system prompt sounded in Murphy's ear again!

"Ding! The follower Grees was promoted to chief instructor and automatically belonged to the lord."

"Chief Instructor - Grees (This man is a real soldier, and his wounds are like medals! He has rich experience in war, knows how to guide and educate recruits and tells them how to survive on the battlefield.) The army's movement power +15, and can force the army when assisting generals in command. The training cost is -30%, the training speed is increased by 20%, and the training experience is +1."

"Ding! The relationship with general Hammerton has increased, and Hammerton's gratitude is gained."

Trying to suppress the ecstasy on his face, Murphy patted Hammerton's shoulder heavily and said, "Train them out as soon as possible, soon, we will face a big battle!"

"Yes! Governor!" Hammerton stood solemnly and said in a deep voice.

How much can status determine the ability?

No matter how high the ability you have, will you not have the chance to display without the corresponding status?
