Since the discovery of the gnolls began to gather in large numbers, Murphy has sent a general guard knight out to detect their movements every day!

The auxiliary system of "Total War" can bring him overall convenience, but there are still some shortcomings in the auxiliary system! And Murphy needs to pay attention to these details and take some thoughts to deal with them.

In the past few days, the werewolves have been moving frequently.

If it weren't for this, Murphy wouldn't have trained five armies in a row to guard against the attack the gnolls will launch next.

However, everything is still much faster than Murphy expected.

Before going to bed last night, most of the gnolls on the strategic map were scattered around. But today they were all gathered under the largest gnoll clan. When Murphy searched through the strategic map, the group of gnolls with a population of more than 3,000 had already camped thirty kilometers away from the Athenian town.

Around the Athenian towns, there are about fourteen scattered gnoll clans, with the population of these gnoll clans basically between 300 and 600. Because the competition within the race is extremely fierce, a 500-person gnoll clan has about 100 adult male gnolls and 200 adult female gnolls. In addition, they are elderly gnolls and werewolf cubs.

It takes about ten to twelve years for the gnoll to become an adult, and its physical development speed is faster than that of humans.

In terms of clan composition, the werewolves are roughly similar to humans.

In the human social system, a family of five people has about two adult men, and their identities are generally grandfather and father. These two adult men are the pillars of the human family and the center of the maintenance of the entire family!

The composition of the gnoll clan is a little looser than this. The gnoll has no clear spouse except the leader. However, the characteristic of the race is that an adult male gnoll possesses two adult female gnolls. Except for the leader's exclusive rights over the spouse, the spouses of other male gnolls are in the process of change. All the gnoll cubs born belong to the clan, and there is no clear parental relationship. The entire clan works together to feed the gnoll cubs.

Most of the werewolves have three births, and the pregnancy period is eight months, but the premature death rate is very high.

Only one or two of the ten werewolf cubs can survive. If food shortages occur in the cold winter, these dead werewolf cubs will be used as food to spend a period of winter.

So generally speaking, a 500-person gnoll clan has a maximum combat power of about 300 people.

The gnoll clan that Murphy encircled and suppressed was not counted. It was obviously a merger of two clans that had experienced combat and had a large number of surviving adult gnolls. The number of gnolls gathered thirty miles away in the town was definitely more than 3,000, but if it were adult gnolls with combat effectiveness, Murphy thought there should be only about 2,000. A race, two-thirds of the combatants, is already a very high proportion.

From last year to the present, the Kazart Gnoll tribe has invaded the human city-state only 100,000 adult werewolfs.

Without sufficient civilization to ensure food and medical safety, etc., the reproduction of a species will become very difficult. This can be seen from the population of the entire werewolf clan of only tens of thousands.

This is also the reason why humans are defeated by the werewolves, but they still firmly believe in defeating the werewolves.

In the southern plains, humans have a population of more than three million. Just talking about population wars, humans have become invincible.

This is a rather primitive world.

It is also an era of survival of the fittest. Under the premise of reproduction and survival of the race, all sacrifices are tolerated.

Without reinforcements, all strategies are greatly reduced when the enemy is a non-human creature. The only thing Murphy can do now is to defeat these zombies, which are more like wild animals than smart creatures!

About three times the strength of our own troops means that if we line up in the wild, the werewolf will be far more than themselves in any depth.

With Murphy's exploration of the war in the cold weapon era during this period, if the frontal formation length is much shorter than that of the enemy, he will face pressure on three sides and will eventually be wrapped into a dumpling.

Eat it in one bite!

The biggest difference between reality and the game is that if the formation is messed up in the game, the enemy will give you time to reorganize.

But in reality, the enemy's most fierce attack will face when the formation is messed up!

Therefore, if you are marching in an array, it is better to be quiet than to move.

As a general who is not very experienced in tactical terms, Murphy has always been accustomed to using static to brake.

Since the issuance of the full-scale war mobilization order in the morning, the entire territory has been extremely busy.

Both women and children were moved to the port, where there were many fishing boats, and if the front line was lost, they would be immediately sent to the other side of the Nidoria River.

Men were distributed with weapons, as equipment was given priority to the warriors.

Most of these recruited men were assigned a dagger. Of course, only men with certain combat skills could be assigned a dagger. Others were organized into auxiliary legions by Murphy and attacked as distant arms.

The Greeks' auxiliary troops had limited combat power. At least before the appearance of the archers, throwing troops such as the Javelin Cavalry and Javelin were weak.

Javelin throwing is something that every Greek man has ever come into contact with. Although it cannot reach the level of a javeliner, it is better than many people. As long as more than a thousand recruited adult men can reach the level of throwing javelins, even without aiming, it can cause great harm to the gnolls.

The requirements for javelins during wartime were not that high.

A wooden stick about two fingers in length is about one meter to one meter and five meters long. The wood should be hard and the spear tip should be sharpened.

Since there was no professional training in javelin throwing, Murphy shortened the javelin used to recruit townsmen a little, so that it was easier to throw.

Eight hundred Greek infantrymen were able to set up a line of defense in the town.

Regarding the layout of the defense line, Murphy already had a plan in mind. If the gnolls were determined to win their own town, then this plan would be more feasible.

Now, adult men throughout the town are demolishing houses.

They sharpened all the sticks that were close to their shapes and used to sharpen them into javelins, and then piled them into the central square of the Greek town.

If a 1,200 adult man throws ten javelins in each battle, he will need a total of 12,000 javelins. This is already a considerable number!

Fortunately, the supply of logging yards has not been cut off for a long time, and now all we need to do is process the wood.

After taking the time, Murphy went to see the Marquis of Elizabeth. Murphy told her tactfully that the army of the werewolf was about to attack.

If they have something to do, they can leave first.

You will prepare a usable ship for them.

At this critical moment of life and death, Murphy would never put his hope on others. If these Aboriginal people were unwilling to stay and help fight, Murphy would never try to keep them.

But what surprised him was that Marquis Elizabeth actually said firmly that he would stay and help him deal with the gnolls.

"Governor. I hope to stay and help you with the brutal beasts. Moreover, my servants know a little about their fighting style." Marquis Elizabeth looked at Murphy silently, and an inexplicable light flashed in his sea-blue eyes.

If I had such fearless courage at the beginning!
