Chapter 17: The New General—Elizabeth (Part 1)

(There is another update today, please ask for five ***s. I haven’t recommended it for a long time. Please ask for a few ***s to be listed on the classification list, and at least it can be used as a recommendation. Thank you!)

The southern line where Murphy is located is not bad. Although there is a threat from orcs, they are probably overwhelmed by the sudden change. In addition, the losses in the Battle of Athens, it is unlikely that it will be difficult to do anything without a year or two. As for the Karazan Mountains, because of the powerful creatures such as the Karazan Hurricane Wingdragon and Shadow Leopard, the mutant beasts bring much less trouble than other places.

Of course, there is also the contribution of the white dragon living in the north of Athens.

It is precisely because of its existence that many mutated beasts have run away to other places with their lives. The sky is vast and the earth is vast. After the evolution of mutation, many beasts have developed their wisdom. How can they move within the territory of a white dragon? Except for creatures like Shadow Leopards that can escape the white dragon, most of the other mutated beasts in Athens ran elsewhere under the threat of Hurricane Karazan and the migrated white dragons.

So in comparison, Athens has less trouble at this moment.

After all, under a potential big danger, the small dangers around were invisibly cleaned up a lot.

This is also an unpredictable gain or loss.

……………………

It is July 376, the Second Era.

Since the establishment of the university, the adult education that Murphy has been arranged has lasted for almost a year. Although the effect has not yet reached an immediate effect, at least citizens with talent in Athens have begun to learn knowledge of writing, mathematics, music, etc. At present, there have been no talents recognized by the "Total War" auxiliary system as talented in generals, but a large number of subordinate officers and officials have been trained from the university one by one.

The requirements for officials in this era were not too high, and Murphy didn't need them to know any officialdom.

Be able to read, calculate, and obey orders.

As long as these three conditions are met, it will be a useful talent for Murphy.

Another surprising thing is that a small number of citizens, that is, the indigenous people who were initially included in Athens, began to appear in the data statistics by the Total War auxiliary system. That is to say, they were calculated to enter the core citizen statistics of the upgraded city. This is a gratifying discovery, because it means that under the influence of more than a year of culture, indigenous people have begun to be assimilated by Athens.

The number of these indigenous citizens is not large, and the total number is less than a hundred.

But this is already a very good start. Murphy believes that as time goes by, more and more natives will be assimilated by Athens.

In addition, it is worth mentioning.

All of these indigenous people identified by the auxiliary system are believers of the God of War Kratos, and they are also indigenous warriors who survived the Orcs' battle. Murphy is unable to judge what conditions are achieved and completely attracted and assimilated these people. Perhaps it is the power of the God of War Kratos (the God of War Kratos is now of medium divine power), or perhaps it is the epic victory of the Orcs' battle.

However, at least this proves that assimilation exists.

This undoubtedly injects a heart-warming agent into the slow-growing population of Athens!

……………………

"Governor! This is what you want!"

After inspecting the port and dealing with some issues that he had agreed to, he immediately rushed back to the Governor's Office. At this time, a personal guard of the general guard also delivered what he needed to him.

Murphy reached out to the package, nodded to the guard in front of him, and waved to him that he could go down.

After the study was cleaned up and confirmed that no one was disturbed, Murphy closed his mind and opened the strategic map page of the "Total War" auxiliary system. Now, with the increase in the scope of activities of Athenian citizens, the map explored by the "Total War" auxiliary system is no longer limited to the scope of Athens. It can be said that the current southern plains and some surrounding areas with human activities have been included in the data basis by the "Total War" auxiliary system.

But for now, the strategic map only reaches one basic data.

That is rough statistics.

The strategic map within the Athens range can be as detailed as each mountain and every wood, but the strategic maps of other places can only be a vague approximation.

If it is said in the game, it is the difference between a large map and a small map.

The area to which the Athenian territory belongs has generated fine small maps, but in other parts of the southern plains, Murphy only has a strategic map.

What he wants to do today is very simple.

——It’s just to draw the map!

Anyone who is familiar with military knowledge knows the great significance of maps in war!

But when Murphy opened the strategic map of the auxiliary system of Total War, it took him a little time (to be meditated) and at that time he had little perception of the outside world.

This is quite dangerous.

The map should not only be in his hands, but the generals of Athens also need a large map.

Because future battles will not be limited to Athens, Murphy will not be able to command them all personally. If there is a need for multi-line combat in the future, then the Athenian generals have a precise map far beyond this era, which undoubtedly adds a lot of bargaining chips to win the victory.

The silver-white powder was sprinkled on the sheepskin.

"Magic trick!" The mental power far beyond the mortals allowed Murphy to achieve the instant of low-level spells. Of course, strictly speaking, it only shortened the speed of casting to about one second, and it cannot be regarded as a real instant. Because the strict standard of the latter is that even spells are not needed. If a thought appears, the spell has been completed.

The characteristic quill floated up in the air, and the parchment paper on the table was spread out neatly.

Among the low-level spells of mages, there are several spells that must be learned and very practical, such as magic tricks, reading techniques, and copying techniques, which are undoubtedly at the forefront. However, people usually like to call magic tricks - the hand of mages!

“Copying!”

After casting, Murphy slowly closed his eyes and opened the strategy map page in the Total War auxiliary system.

Copying is a level 0 small spell, mainly used on copying magic scrolls, which can help the caster copy the cumbersome magic spells and magic marks in his memory and burn them on parchment with some rare materials.

It is a spell that almost all spellcasters must practice!

certainly.

Murphy is not going to copy some magic spells or make some magic scrolls now.

What he has to do now is very simple.

That is, through the combination of two level 0 spells, "magic tricks" and "copying", the auxiliary system *** map that emerged in his mind at this moment was copied out. As we all know, Murphy did not have a mentor on the road to arcane practice. Generally speaking, people like this who do not have a mentor but have extraordinary talents will have some incredible ideas.

Murphy's painting skills are not good, and he has to draw a precise strategic map like the auxiliary system of Total War.

I'm afraid that just painting skills may not be useful, and the time spent to meet the requirements is an astonishing amount of time. Murphy's time is very tight and he can't afford to spend a lot of time to make maps.

So he had an incredible idea.

He wanted to try whether he could use magic to draw the map of the auxiliary system in his brain.

Magical tricks and copying techniques.

Two simple level 0 magics operated under Murphy's mental power control. The quill floated up and landed on the parchment paper, and then drew at a fast speed. The human hand would shake when drawing, but it would not be like this under the control of the "Master's Hand". After combining with the level 0 spell of copying, it unexpectedly achieved an amazing effect like a printer in the previous life.

Half an hour later, the first map was completed.

Murphy opened his eyes and touched the magic, then picked up the cup beside him and drank several sips of water.

Although the two level 0 spells do not consume much magic, they consume a lot of energy. After all, it is not easy to draw a precise map.

After taking a short rest, Murphy started moving again.

He needed three large maps, one left in Athens, one in his own hands, and the other handed to General Leodale.

One and a half hours later.

Three large maps were completed. Looking at this map that was far beyond this era, Murphy couldn't help but smile.

He now found that magic is really useful.

As long as his ideas are not bound by traditional ideas, many incredible things can be done with magic. However, his abilities are still quite limited now, and many combinations of spells are not something that a level 2 mage can sit.

When I opened the door and walked out of the study, it was already noon.

Murphy attracted a maid to ask, and then he realized that Mrs. Elizabeth had woken up and was waiting for him to pass by in the hall.

The sun shines brightly.

After handing over the two maps to the personal guards and asking him to send them to General Leodal and General Jerry Rivad, he strode towards the hall.

Last night he and Mrs. Elizabeth just discussed some general arrangements.

Many details need to be discussed, and although the establishment of the mercenary union was supported by Athens in his name, an indigenous agent still needed to come forward.

There is no doubt that Mrs. Elizabeth is the best candidate.

However, when Murphy met Mrs. Elizabeth again, a systemic sound suddenly stunned him.

……………………

"Ding! This person has extraordinary internal talents! You can try to recruit her as a general in Athens!"
