With the power to clear out the robbers of other races behind the southern plains, batches of goblins and kowtowers flocked into the plains. At the same time, the remaining forces that dispersed and retreated into the mountains and forests in the werewolf war also became active. Although the number of these werewolfs who hid in the deep mountains and forests after the defeat was not large, they could no longer pose any substantial threat to humans.

However, as these gnolls joined the group of goblin robbers entrenched in various places, the progress of the noble council clearance was even slower.

even!

After August 10, Murphy also received news of the gangsters robbers wandering around the Athenian Principal League through the mercenary union! In addition to some northern towns of the Athenian Principal League, more than a dozen gangsters with more than one thousand people were entrenched. These gangsters are composed of other races such as gangsters, goblins, werewolves, boars, etc. They frequently attack nearby villages to plunder materials, and even actively attack some small towns.

This is not the worst!

What's worse is that some secret channels from within the noble council in Murphy's hands sent him a message.

——What is very terrible thing that appears in the southern wilderness!

The Second Era, August 15, 376.

If it was placed in Middle Earth in the previous life, then today should be the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

However, in this world, this is just a very ordinary day. It is said that the high elves will sacrifice to the moon god Eluen on this day, but humans do not have such a tradition. There are only two days for ancestors to worship in the traditional culture of humanity. One is April 5, which is not far from the Qingming Festival in the previous life. The other is July 15, which is the same day as the Ghost Festival in the previous life.

The moon on this day is very round.

Since the war with the Orcs in June this year, Athens' strength has been greatly damaged, and thousands of casualties have caused the citizenship in Athens to be severely damaged. Fortunately, after the victory of the war, both Athens and Murphy's reputation spread throughout the human world. Therefore, after the war, Athens' strength recovered quickly, and after the signing of the Principal Alliance and the unity of Lady Elizabeth, Athens' strength has recovered even faster. After more than two months of self-cultivation and rest, Athens not only showed vigorous vitality in business. Similarly, in terms of the number of citizens, Athens' official citizens recognized by the "Total War" auxiliary system have also broken through the limit of 10,000 people. According to this progress, it is expected that the city of Athens will be upgraded again around October this year!

Upgraded from an ordinary city to a big city!

At that time, the city of Athens could not only be upgraded from a city barracks to a legion barracks, but also recruited powerful troops from the Seleucid faction - the Iron Armored Cavalry after upgrading to the racecourse!

This is not a Macedonian cavalry and other names with heavy cavalry names, but it is just an army with a few more iron sheets than light cavalry.

This is a real heavy cavalry unit!

Not only was the whole body covered in armor, but even the horses sitting were covered with small pieces of iron armor connected together! It can be said without hesitation! The iron cavalry was the only heavy cavalry unit in "Total War" before the Middle Ages that could attack the infantry legion head-on! Once the iron cavalry unit could form an organization of more than a thousand people, then there would be a series of steel-like torrents on the battlefield, with amazing power and unstoppable momentum, and the sound of horse hooves made the earth tremble!

Not to mention the army of gnolls and half-orcs, even the regular troops of the Orc Empire may be difficult to resist.

In the era of cold weapons, the power formed by large-scale heavy cavalry units is absolutely amazing! The momentum that makes the earth tremble has made many people lose the courage to resist! On the front battlefield, heavy cavalry will always be a banner in the era of cold weapons!

……………………

New crops have been planted, and these corn, vegetables and other crops will mature in three months, in November.

After they are harvested, the agricultural experts at the University of Athens will arrange for the people to plant new winter wheat. This is the crop reform after Athens upgraded to a city. It will alternately cultivate other crops, and save the fertility in the land and prevent the land from being desolate quickly. The island in the Nidolia River has been officially mined, and now it can provide a lot of natural phosphate fertilizer. Athens can be predicted to be a bumper harvest in the next few years.

If you have food in your hands, you are not panicked.

Even if the grain produced by this year's bumper harvest is deducted from part of the support to the Centaur tribe, the remaining food is enough for the entire territory to eat for more than two years. Now, not only the citizens in Athens have a surplus, but even the indigenous people who are Murphy serfs can eat a piece of white bread a day. This is something they once dared not think about.

And, if they work hard, they can even get a little jerky every Sunday.

That's meat!

Under the former lord, they may only eat such a little during festivals!

But it is only possible.

But what about now?

As long as they work hard, they can eat a little meat every week. Although it is not a lot, it is enough to maintain the nutrition needed to maintain the growth and development of children. These low-key serfs indigenous people do not have most ambitions. They just want to fill their stomachs and let the children eat a little better and wear more. They would rather eat less themselves than see the children's hungry faces...

They are happy to not be hungry or cold.

Very simple and satisfying.

As a modern man, Murphy is not merciful, but he has his own principles of being a human being. For him, it should be the obligation of every lord to make every hardworking person have enough food. He could not control the serfs to be in a state of being unable to eat but not starve to facilitate his own rule, just like other indigenous nobles, in order to facilitate his rule. Even Mrs. Elizabeth once looked at him with some surprise, and she said it was hard to imagine that you, who was strong in the war, would treat your own merciful people so kindly.

This is not kindness!

Murphy always thought he was not a kind person.

This is just that he cannot do it so cruelly. He feels that he has an obligation to give his leaders a full meal.

This is the obligation that a lord should fulfill! It is also the obligation that a king should fulfill in the future!

Perhaps all this was just something Murphy subconsciously thought for granted. But the serfs who were sent to Murphy did not think so. They were undoubtedly grateful for the beauty of the present. They called their Lord Lord the noble, kind, generous, great, and wise Governor Murphy! Although their poor knowledge did not know what the Governor represented, they were very stubborn to think that this was a title that was more noble than the Lord Lord, and only truly great people could obtain it!

……………………

The chaos in the southern plains did not cause much substantial trouble for Murphy.

While the world was in a state of turmoil, everything in Athens was developing steadily and rapidly. With the intelligence network of the Mercenary Union, Murphy's information database was quickly filled. The newly established [Jiangye] organization will collect useful information for him in all aspects, and pay attention to the talents who are wandering everywhere. Some of the Aboriginal mercenaries with strict discipline and brave combat were absorbed by Athens. They will be included in the peripheral organization of the army, led by the Aboriginal warriors who survived the orcs in the previous battle. These mercenaries will be officially absorbed after receiving the cruel training of the priests of the Temple of War. At that time, they will be a group of powerful warriors!

At the same time, with the assistance of the gradually stable mercenary union, people from all over the country who had a skill but had no room for use were attracted to Athens.

Because everyone foresees that this city will surely be a brilliant pearl among mankind in the future!

Now, this pearl has just begun to show its light. Its construction requires a large number of talents, which also means there is a lot of opportunities. Many people from the indigenous people rushed to Athens, hoping to get the opportunity to display their skills there. Moreover, when goblins, kowtows, robbers wandering around, Athens is undoubtedly a very safe place now.

All the goblins, kowtowels, were swept into its range by powerful Spartan warriors in a few days.

Later, the goblins and dog-headed people learned their lessons and were no longer in the range of Athens. They avoided the range of Athens, moved around the surrounding areas, plundered some passing caravans, and occasionally attacked the wealthier villages under the surrounding aristocrats. In fact, omnivorous creatures like goblins and dog-headed people would not starve to death even if they had no food to eat grass by eating trees. The vitality of these creatures is very tenacious, especially creatures like dog-headed people, who can be seen almost everywhere in the continent.

September 1.

The team of senior adventurers sent to the Southern Wilderness Survey brought back a very bad news.

In the wilderness connected to the plains, there were no idea when one large hole after another appeared. These holes were bottomless, as if they were to the depths of the ground. Some other kinds of intelligent creatures that have not been seen for nearly a thousand years and are suspected to have been extinct are now coming out of the holes connecting the ground one after another. The goblins and kowtowers who originally lived in the wilderness were driven to the southern plains by them.

These remnants of the previous era returned to the surface after the second elemental tide began!
