Chapter 17 Lizard Man

(***Don’t waste it, don’t vote for me anymore. I really plan to encourage me and just vote for a few recommendation votes. *** This kind of thing can sometimes be turned into money, so I’d better give it to others. We won’t use it for the time being.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Queen Evanna did not stay in the barracks for too long. After completing the planned steps with Murphy, she immediately left quietly.

She sneaked out this time, in order not to let the elders discover it, she wasted a lot of thoughts and could not delay outside for too long. The geek-headed group is still under the control of the elders, and the substitute she left behind is easily exposed. If that were the case, the next plan would probably be difficult.

"Winged Man?"

"Winged Humans! Is it a new race?" Murphy put down a silver coin at his fingertips with playful thoughts and said to himself.

Since Queen Evanna can control nearly half of the veiled voice in the veiled human group, the next thing will be much easier. As a new creature that has escaped the curse of bloodline, Queen Evanna represents the future of the Winged Humans. Although the group of Evanna, which represents the old forces, is still strong, it can no longer form the dictatorial rule of the past. As long as Athens can help Queen Evanna solve the veiled elders, she will be able to complete the rest of the things herself.

Although a decaying rule still has its remaining power, it also accumulates too much resentment!

"Queen Evanna's strength is about eight to nine stars, which is weaker than the priest of the God of War, but he is stronger than the gray-robed mage Gandalf and the others. If it is divided according to the profession level that the arcane faction once used, it should be a high-level profession of about fifteen." Murphy took out a quill and listed the planned profession level classification table on a piece of white paper.

Since the Mercenary Guild has been established, it is only a matter of time to promote the division of occupational hierarchy.

This kind of level division is not necessary and it doesn't even require any fancy names. It is enough to use the simplest and most direct one, two, three, four, and five to determine the level. Because only the simplest thing is the easiest to be promoted.

Murphy decided to use the professional level division of the previous era in appropriate use. Level 1 to 5 are primary professions, and Greek heavy infantry are about the strength of level 4 warriors. They can be taken out individually and put them in other towns to be about a small team leader. From level 5, they have already entered the range of intermediate professions. Spartan warriors without the blessing of the temple are about the strength of level 6 to level 8 warriors.

Professionals of this level are roughly equivalent to those among the indigenous people who are called "knights".

These people have special inheritance.

As for the high-level professions above level ten, even Murphy has seen them at present, there are only a few Spartan conquerors, including the Chief Priest of the God of War, the two ** masters who inherited the inheritance of the arcane faction, the Queen of the Hawks, etc.

As of now, this kind of existence can be said to be indifferent to all!

……………………

"First give up other profession levels, start with warriors, and divide the levels according to the detection method of Spartan warriors. At present, only ten levels are used to divide them, and then slowly expand them and formulate other profession levels." Murphy took a quill and wrote down his own planning steps on white paper.

Dividing career levels is conducive to managing those mercenary teams and being able to discover and absorb talents.

With the beginning of the elemental tide, there will be more and more such professions in the future, and the entire world will be excessive from low demons (high element limit) to medium demons (low element limit) under the action of the elemental tide. In the future, there must be a relatively strict division of profession levels in order to manage and constrain those born professions.

As for the world of high demons, Murphy is not considering it for the time being, because he does not think that this world can reach the level of the previous era in a short period of time.

In the era when Arcane's glory was at its peak, those Arcane Wizards transformed the entire plane!

Murphy put down his pen and sealed a series of plans with letter paper. Now the territory's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and many things cannot be solved by him alone. Fortunately, with the help of Mrs. Elizabeth, this smart woman can only manage her own management skills. Even Murphy himself admired! If it weren't for her helping to handle a large number of affairs, the establishment of the mercenary union would not have been able to start so quickly.

"The strength of the Eagle Elder is about eight stars. The power of this level is not beyond the scope of ordinary things, so it is not too difficult to deal with them." Murphy rubbed his forehead and thought in his heart.

The power of high-level professionals is not so exaggerated. Just like a Spartan conqueror, almost no one can defeat him in the case of a single conqueror. However, when facing an army of eighty people, even a powerful Spartan conqueror has no chance of winning. However, if he does not face the head-on, even an army of one thousand people will not be able to capture a Spartan conqueror.

A Spartan warrior almost did not play a very obvious role in the war.

However, a team of Spartan warriors can penetrate the enemy's body like a sharp knife in the war and easily break through the enemy's defense line. This kind of combat power is difficult to achieve even an elite unit of one thousand people!

The conversion of strength is not simply one plus one equals two. In different situations, one plus one equals ten may even produce a terrible effect.

Especially on the battlefield, the role of an elite force is likely to be better than that of thousands of troops!

"Arranging one hundred long bowmen here...and fifty ambush here...to prevent them from flying away..." Murphy simply drew the general terrain with his pen, and then marked the location of the Crete long bowmen ambushing in several hidden corners.

"No! I'm afraid there can't be hidden here, and at most sixty people can be ambushed." Murphy frowned and continued to think.

Ambushing in the jungle is not difficult.

But it is difficult to pull the distance not too far. What troubles these hawk elders are the most troublesome is not their strength, but their ability to fly!

That's right!

What really hurts Murphy is that they can fly away.

"There are only two chances to attack at most! If you want to keep them all, you may have to arrange something else." Murphy frowned and said to himself.

The number of Crete long archers is limited. If Athenian long archers are arranged to go, there may not be such top archery skills. The more people are ambushed, the higher the possibility of being discovered. Arranging a 150 Crete long archers to ambush, this is already the limit of the plan.

"It seems that we can only send the Spartan conquerors over." Murphy raised his hand and wrote a letter of order, and then stamped his own Governor's seal on it.

He pushed open the door of the room and handed the letter to the general guard attendant who was waiting outside, and said in a deep voice: "Send this letter to the Military Affairs Office immediately."

"Yes! Governor!" The general guards accepted the order and immediately walked out of the military camp.

A neighing of a horse followed by a sound of horse hooves.

……………………

"With half of the Crete archers in Athens, plus the fully equipped Spartan Conqueror, the Chief Priest of the God of War and the Magician Merlin will take action together. This lineup is worthy of those Eagle Elders." Thinking of this, Murphy couldn't help but smile.

Murphy is a careful person. People like him are cautious in their work. If they don’t take action, they will definitely strive for foolproof one’s mistakes!

If those hawk elders escape back one or two, it would be a big headache. So in order to keep them all here, Murphy even decided to let the magician Merlin come with him. Two top powerhouses in Athens City took action together so that the plan would not be unexpected!

Late at night, Murphy and his clothes slept.

But he hadn't fallen asleep for long before a rush of horse hooves came from outside.

The sound of horse hooves stopped until in front of his room, followed by a rapid slap in the door.

"Come back so soon?" Murphy turned over when he heard the movement, frowned and put on his clothes, and thought to himself: "Is something wrong in Athens?"

Before he could get up, an anxious voice from the messenger rang out of the door: "Governor General! Military information is urgent!"

"Military information is urgent!"

Murphy was shocked when he heard this, walked quickly to the door and said in a deep voice: "Where is it? Give it to me quickly!"

Now half of the Athenian army has been sent out to wipe out the goblins, gangsters, and half have been stuck here to guard against the movements of the hawks and the creatures that have spread from the underground world. At present, there are only one thousand two hundred permanent troops in Athens. If any accident occurs, it is definitely something Murphy doesn't want to see! Athens is his son. He has worked hard to build Athens to the point where he has now, and he will definitely not be able to withstand any damage!

"Sir! Sir!" The messenger gasped, sweating profusely, and his body was soaked with sweat, as if he had not stopped for a moment after he was driven out of Athens. "The traces of lizard men were found in the river, and they attacked one of our fleets!"

Murphy reached out to take the military information handed over by the messenger. The more he looked, the frowning became, and his expression was also serious.

"Lizardmen? Don't they live in a sludge swamp? How could they appear in the southern plains?" Murphy looked at the military report and felt a little uneasy.

It rained all night!

The underground species matter has not been resolved yet, why did the lizardman come out to join in the fun?

"Go and invite General Leodalee! Let the Chief Priest of the God of War come with you." Murphy put down the military information report with a heavy expression and ordered the general guard servant beside him.

"Yes." The attendant took the order and left.

After a while, General Leodalee and Chief Priest of the God of War came over.

Murphy handed them the urgent military report on the table. After they had read it, he stopped hesitating and said directly: "Leodale, you immediately summon the army. Except for the fourth team of Greek heavy infantry and a team of Crete archers, the 1st Legion of Athens, all the others followed me back to Athens overnight!"

"Your Highness, I'll ask you for this matter. The magician Merlin will come to work with you tomorrow to deal with this matter." Murphy turned around and handed over the arrangement to solve the Eagle Elder to the Chief Priest of the God of War and ordered.

"yes!"

"Yes! Governor!" the two of them responded.

General Leodale turned around and gathered the army. The dull drum sound of "dongdongdongdongdongdong" echoed throughout the camp. The Athenian soldiers who were resting in various camps immediately got up in an orderly manner and put on their armor and gathered together according to the command of the flag bearer.

Murphy, on the other hand, gave some details that need to be paid attention to, and some other arrangements to the Chief Priest of the God of War, and told him that this matter must not be made incorrect.

After the army was assembled, except for the soldiers left by Murphy before, the others immediately packed up all their things and rushed towards Athens overnight. The Chief Priest of the God of War stayed here with several teams of soldiers, waiting for the arrival of the magician Merlin and the Spartan conqueror tomorrow. The camp here cannot be abandoned for the time being, and Murphy left four teams of Greek heavy infantry to keep them stationed.

The Lizardman's unusual movements made Murphy feel very uneasy. Due to the removal of alien robbers from all over the country, more than half of the troops in Athens were sent out. Now the closest to Athens is the only Athens First Legion, which was stuck in the border area of ​​the Karazan Mountains. The Lizardman's movements brought endless variables to the entire southern plain. At this time, Murphy had to go back to take charge of the center in person no matter what.

Athens is now empty in defense, and the inner city is the top priority of the territory, and there is no way to make any mistakes.

He had to lead the army back to defense immediately!

After marching overnight, Murphy finally led the First Athenian Legion back to the inner city when the sky turned white just in the early morning.

"Governor! You are back."

As soon as the army returned to the barracks, General Jerry Rivad rushed to Murphy. Seeing Murphy leading the First Athenian Army back overnight, the general immediately breathed a sigh of relief for Jerry Rivad and the generals of Athens. The abnormal movements of the Lizardman also made Athens alert. Although the citizens below did not know at all, the scouts sent to various places were continuously.

This time, the Lizardman was very disturbed, and there was even a little movement that came out in full swing!

"How is the situation?" The military emergency report only said a rough idea. There were many things that could not be explained clearly, and Murphy could not help but worry.

General Jerry Rivad pointed to the naval commander Barbosa behind him and said, "The Lizardman attacked the caravans we sent to trade in the human city-state, but they were repelled by General Barbosa."

"He is more clear about the specific situation."

Murphy nodded, not planning to take a break, and directly brought the two generals to the chamber.

The southern plains are now surging, and now the lizard man is coming. This really makes Murphy's plan more variables, and he has no choice but to be careful. It is becoming increasingly urgent for Athens to upgrade to a big city. Any accident at this critical moment will cause Murphy to be extremely troubled and greatly delay the progress of Athens' construction.

Before the Lizardman moves clearly, he must be careful.

The group returned to the chamber with Murphy, while General Leodale began to dispatch the First Legion of Athens to deploy the defense, arrange sentinels along the Nidoria River and anywhere the Lizardmen might sneak in, and send a large number of scouts to investigate the situation.

After asking General Barbosa in the chamber about the incident, Murphy opened the "Total War" auxiliary system, hoping to find something useful.

On the auxiliary system of "Total War", a large number of red signs of lizard people appeared in remote areas of the Athenian territory.

However, these signs are active in the outer areas of Athens and do not appear in the Athenian territory. However, the red icons of these lizard men only roughly mark their location, but they do not mark their specific number. Even a vague description such as a group, a large group, etc. are not marked.
