Chapter 109: The world is in chaos!

iron ore.

It's really a troublesome issue.

With the level of civilization in this era, it is definitely not easy to develop a mineral. Although there are a large number of kowtow slaves who can use it to mine, the problem is that Murphy must first find a mineral on the surface of the ground. Humans do not have the talent of dwarves. They are not only good at digging holes, but also can know where the minerals are just smelling with their noses.

The above point is definitely not a big score, and it has nothing to do with exaggeration.

Because when dwarves are really looking for minerals, their noses are one of their very important tools. These guys who have amazing talents in forging and smelting can smell the place of the mineral veins by just sniffing them with their noses. This talent is envied by other intelligent races, but they can't learn it even if they want to. A large part of the mineral veins mined by humans in the southern plains were discovered by dwarves.

Murphy had a good relationship with the barbarians, but his relationship with the dwarves was quite cold.

Perhaps using the newly brewed high-quality soju to Athens can better these irritable guys, but the problem is that Murphy has no way to get on line with them now. Since these dwarves moved out of the mountains, they have been in a strange way. They want to find them and then exchange their friendship through the spirits for friendship, not to count the time to transport the spirits, the time it takes too long.

Murphy can't afford it.

However, there is no way out.

There is a very common device in the advanced tutorial of "Geolsy Alchemy", called the Goblin prospector.

The principle of action is to use magic fluctuations to check whether there are mineral veins underground, their location and depth. This is the most commonly used device for goblin engineers and one of their compulsory courses. The only thing that is more troublesome is that this device called goblin prospector requires a high level of magic when it is made, and it requires burning up to 800 magic marks to start.

It must be a level 3 or above mage to make it.

Murphy's current level is about about a second-level mage, and it is still a little short of the level requirements for manufacturing goblin prospectors.

Although it is necessary to own his own iron ore, it should be able to take more than half a year in time. Murphy can only have an iron ore that can be self-sufficient before turning against the noble parliament. After all, in the battle of the Orcs, Athens seized a large number of standard weapons. If these weapons really cannot be re-smelted, they can meet the needs of the territory.

Athens owns an open-pit coal mine, which is undoubtedly quite beneficial.

July 5, 376, the Second Era.

After several days of lingering, although I was still reluctant to leave, after the news from various places was sent, Mrs. Elizabeth finally had to set out to arrange the plan for the establishment of a mercenary union. She would unite the nearby small and medium-sized nobles to pull up the prototype of the mercenary union. Then, in the name of Athens, order all nearby mercenary teams to register! The Alliance of Athens' Principality will give them corresponding identities and lay the foundation for the level production after the establishment of the mercenary union.

With Athens and Lady Elizabeth as its core, it covers 24,000 square kilometers of land in the southern plains.

A total of thirty-two nobles of all sizes issued new orders in the name of the Southern Line Noble Alliance!

All mercenary groups established within the territory must be registered in the town before they can be recognized, and the mercenary union will be issued a formal mercenary identity. Otherwise, they will be considered illegal private armed forces! There is no cost to register as a mercenary group. After registration, the mercenary team can accept employment tasks from all over the place and be recognized by Athens!

Athens will protect them!

Lady Elizabeth's financial and material resources began to work. With the reputation of [Purple Thorn Flower] and the support of the military power behind Athens, in just one week, large and small mercenary union branches were established in large and large towns of nobles on the southern plains front. These mercenary union branches were responsible for the affairs of the large towns and surrounding small towns and villages, and once there was a danger that ordinary mercenaries could not deal with.

The news will be transmitted to Athens within two days, and General Leodale will send Spartan warriors to the bureau!

In addition to the large mercenary group secretly controlled by Mrs. Elizabeth, given the increasing number of mutant beasts and other creatures flew into the southern plains, Murphy also established a nominal fully open mercenary team. This mercenary group was composed of Spartan warriors and passed the news to the surrounding nobles. They did not accept ordinary mercenary tasks, and only when there were dangers that ordinary people could not deal with could the nobles from all over the country seek help in the name of the lord.

——Blessing!

This is also Murphy's promise in the league.

But Murphy now transfers his blessing power to the newly established mercenary union.

The purpose is to make the establishment of a mercenary union smoother, because only when it comes to their own interests will those greedy nobles spend a lot of effort!

In just ten days.

Under Murphy's reputation and Athens' military power, nearly 100 mercenary teams established on the southern plains front were all registered, and previous adventurers organizations were also attracted by the strength of Athens. They did not need to pay any fees. As long as they joined this organization, they could obtain recognition from Athens, obtain formal mercenary status, and learn about employment information from other regions through the mercenary union.

The information was sent to Athens one by one. The station system covering more than 18,000 square kilometers of land on the southern plains front was invisibly established! Athens' intelligence organization "Jiangye" and the spy spies and spies trained successively were all sent to the mercenary unions in various places to be responsible. Although it is still a simple prototype now, there is no doubt that as time goes by, this huge intelligence network will gradually be improved. At that time, when Murphy was entrusted, the power in his hands could definitely surprise anyone!

Is there any better intelligence network in this world than a mercenary union?

……………………

The eighth day after the establishment of the Mercenary Union.

On the southern plains, a total of 176 large and small mercenary groups, with a total of more than 3,400 mercenaries being absorbed.

Their roster was sent to Athens, and the initial rating was conducted based on the size of the mercenary team and the number of tasks completed. The rating assessment system from the first-level mercenary group to the ninth-level mercenary group is being formulated bit by bit with the efforts of scholars trained by the University of Athens. At the time of the bureau, these scholars will formulate a set of task hierarchy system, which is grading according to the difficulty of the task and the size of the mercenary team.

At the same time, with the progress of the mutant beasts in various places.

The data collected in the Mercenary Union on the strength and enlightenment of various mutant beasts were sent to Athens. Scholars from the University of Athens are conducting classifications and trying to count the strength characteristics of various mutant beasts!

A huge prototype is gradually taking shape under the concept of consciousness that Murphy is far beyond the times.

The scholars and talents from Athens have been trained over the past year have begun to play a role. As Murphy's think tank, they have begun to assist him in handling many affairs. At the same time, more and more citizens have been sent to universities to receive various basic education, and in the future they will be the pillar force in Murphy's hands!

at the same time!

While the mercenary union was expanding rapidly, Murphy also began to look for apprentices with magical talents throughout Athens.

In the courses at the University of Athens, Murphy has officially included introductory alchemy and basic magic tutorials in the classification subjects! At the same time, he also sent invitations to the magician Merlin and the gray-robed wizard Gandalf through Artoria. After briefly telling the changes in this world and the possible changes in the future, Murphy said very directly that with the beginning of the second elemental tide, the threshold for humans to learn magic has become lower, and the number of magicians in the future will surely increase greatly.

He intends to establish the first magic school in the human world and invites two people to come and teach the magic course.

Murphy doesn't know whether he can invite these two masters from the human world to come, but according to his estimates, there is still some possibility. After all, the number of magicians among humans is very rare, and with Athens' strength, it still has a great attraction to them!

busy!

Busy! Busy!

It's so busy that it's dark!

Since Murphy has memory, he has never been as busy as he is now! It seems that he can't handle any complicated matters, which makes him very nervous even when he eats and sleeps! During this week, Murphy and General Jerry Rivad almost both lived and eat and live in the government. The two only slept for less than three hours a day, from the early morning to the late night, and they couldn't even get enough time to take a shower!

But even so, the complicated things that emerged from all over the country still forced him to arrange people to deal with them without stopping.

It was not until this time that Murphy realized how troublesome it was to establish a mercenary union! With the strength of Athens and the material and financial resources accumulated by the Lady Elizabeth family over a hundred years, there would be problems such as insufficient manpower and financial shortages in the early stages of establishing a mercenary union. You should know that after the two joined forces, there were a total of 12,000 square kilometers of land! With their financial resources and material resources, it seemed a bit tight. You can imagine how amazing the consumption of establishing a mercenary union was!

Ten thousand square kilometers of land!

You should know that in the Earth in the past, Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province of the People's Republic of China, was only a little over 7,400 square kilometers.

It was so tight that Murphy could not predict that it would be so difficult for the financial and material resources of three to four prefecture-level cities in his previous life to support the establishment of the mercenary union!

Fortunately, it was just 'everything was difficult at the beginning'. After the difficult early stages, all infrastructures were formulated.

Murphy was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

One thousand five hundred people!

Not counting the recruited personnel or the expenditure of Mrs. Elizabeth, just the people sent out from Athens, there have been 1,500 people!

A total of nearly 200,000 silver coins were consumed!

One month.

Within the 24,000 square kilometers of land on the southern plains, medium and large towns everywhere, supported by the human resources and the financial and material resources of Athens, the financial and material resources of Lady Elizabeth, mercenary union branches were springing up like mushrooms after a rain. With the establishment of the mercenary union, nobles from all over the country also began to actively clean up the mutant beasts that appeared within the territory with the assistance of the mercenaries.

In a month, more and more beasts that were active inside the forest mutated.

Not only did their size change, but their wisdom also improved a lot. They frequently appeared within the range of human activities, attacking caravans or lonely travelers, and even threatened some villages and small towns. Almost all nobles realized that a danger was brewing, and for a while, the armament forces in various places were increasing. This situation was not only limited to the southern plains, but other races living in the surrounding areas of humanity also began to be threatened by the same threat. Half-elves villages, mountains inhabited by dwarves, and the territory after the migration of half-orcs, more and more wild beasts living in the forests of the forest.

Now, they have become half-orcs on the Athenian front, and some monsters that have even appeared in the dark areas within their migrated territory!

I don't know when it starts.

A statement began to spread among people.

——The devil disaster has begun.

……………………

Because of the establishment of the Mercenary Union, all the mutant beasts around Athens were cleaned up in time.

Even if there were monsters that ordinary people could not deal with, Spartan warriors sent by Athens specifically dealt with. In this way, compared with the chaos and storm in other places, the order in the Principal Alliance is undoubtedly much better. After witnessing the powerful strength of the Spartan warriors, many surrounding small and medium-sized lords were convinced by Murphy, and everything was already led by Athens.

Compared to Athens, other parts of the southern plains are much worse!

Not only are mutant beasts frequently appearing, but there is no idea why the southern wilderness areas have caused a large number of kobolds, gray-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty-sty

It was as if some terrible creatures were driving them away, and these creatures that were originally fearful of the scope of human territory were driven away in large numbers.

Enter the southern plains in groups!

At this time, the disadvantages of not having a noble parliament or unification leadership finally emerged.

Although the Council has nominal adjustments, several lords are willing to take the initiative to draw soldiers from their territory to clean up the goblin robbers and werewolves for other nobles? What if their territory is threatened by those creatures after the army is sent out?

With selfishness, almost all other parts of the southern plains formed factions and fought for themselves!

The authority of the three great dukes could not be absolutely controlled at this time. Most of the nobles from all over the country were indifferent to the orders of the great dukes to send troops to assist in the cleaning! This was not like a gnoll war. At that time, there was a front line, and as long as the front line did not collapse, the rear was safe.

But what about now?

There are so many creatures like kobolds, gray-styled jackals, goblins, etc. that have entered the southern plains in large numbers. Even wild boars living in other areas have appeared in human vision!

what does that mean?

In addition, the vague statement about the "demon disaster" made the nobles from all over the country even more unwilling to send troops. So many other creatures invaded, and they could not kill all the people in their territory, let alone helping others to clean up.

This is no longer just a racial war.
To be continued...
