Chapter 63: The Messenger (Part 1)

"The Greek civilization system, the data of the Seleucid faction Macedonian faction was synchronized and integrated, with a 5%, 10%, 15%..."

Just as Murphy had just finished reading the data list of the auxiliary system of Total War, another system prompt sounded.

When the "Total War" auxiliary system integrated the data, another recruitment option for another soldier was added in the recruitment interface.

Army: Advance spear soldiers

Number of recruitment rounds: (1)

Soldier size (120), experience (0).

Attack (6), Charge bonus (2), Weapon type (Long Weapon).

Total defense (5), armor (0), defense skills (3), shield (2).

Vitality (1).

Morale (2).

Recruitment costs (310), maintenance costs (150).

Ability: Super long spear, able to form a square array, dig tunnels, and bonus against cavalry, and morale is low.

Explanation: When war is approaching, peasants, farmers and lower-class poor are forced to join the army by the rulers to serve as spearmen. Because they lack armor, it is best to act as defensive infantry to attract enemy attacks, or to protect the flanks of the main front. They are equipped with spears (some up to six meters long), which can be said to point at the enemy at the same time, forming a wall of spears to fight the enemy. They also carry swords and can engage in melee combat if necessary. Although they are not actually trained, as descendants of traditional heavy-armed soldiers, the recruited spearmen can use square formations. But there is no other defense except for the small shield on the left arm. Therefore, under heavy blows, these recruited troops will suffer major casualties.

The pike soldiers were best used as defensive infantry, but their lack of armor made them extremely poor in combat.

After the data of the other two factions in the "Total War" auxiliary system were imported, the military recruitment interface showed that Murphy was able to train the pike soldiers.

As the early stage of the tripod-carrying army of other Greek civilized factions, the combat effectiveness of the pike soldiers in the Conquest was not too strong.

In terms of morale, only half of the Greek infantry of the same price, and only one-third of the defense. The only advantage is that the weapon they use is super long spears! And the number of people in the organization is also more than forty more than Greek infantry.

The Macedonian gun array is different from the Greek gun array. The Macedonian gun array is more than five meters long, and they use super long spears!

Can attack enemies at the longest distance!

But in the same way, this also made them tied their hands and had low defense. Macedonian shields were very small, and most of them were fixed at the left arm close to their shoulders. The defense ability was far worse than that of the Greek infantry. However, the super spear was very amazing when fighting against cavalry units!

These super-length slingers arranged in formation have considerable lethality in defense.

For now, Murphy did not intend to recruit these troops that used super-spuns because there were no cavalry among his enemies. Putting aside the advantages of super-spun against cavalry, the low-defense conquest spearmen were completely defeated by Greek infantry. Perhaps when a large number of cavalry on the opposite side would be considered recruiting them.

"Data integration, so in the future, can the Royal Super Spear and Silver Shield Legion infantry be recruited?" Murphy looked at the data and thought silently in his mind.

To be honest, these top troops have their own advantages, but when it comes to infantry, Murphy is still the most popular Red Pants who love Sparta.

Spartan's red pants also told Murphy with absolute combat advantage that all infantrymen were floating in front of the red pants!

When it comes to these two Greek factions, Murphy is more fond of Macedonian light cavalry, Seleucid iron-armored cavalry and powerful war elephant troops. Of course, the reputation of the partner cavalry is also far-reaching, but what is more famous is that there are quite a large number of homosexuals among them. Alexander the Great's partner cavalry is far-reaching!

When Murphy thought of the Macedonian light cavalry, his heart was full of heat.

Because the Macedonian light cavalry has a very powerful attribute, that is, powerful charge!

As a light cavalry unit, it can be recognized by the "Total War" auxiliary system as having strong charge capabilities. You can imagine the combat effectiveness of these light cavalry.

Here we must briefly introduce the history of Macedonia.

Macedonia is not a traditional Greek nation. It was originally one of the nomadic peoples. It gradually settled down under the influence of Greek culture, but it was not recognized by mainstream Greek culture. It was not until Alexander's father Philip II defeated the Greek states by force. Since Macedonia did not change from nomadic people to farming for a long time, and had been fighting with other nomadic peoples, while absorbing some other nomadic people to join its sphere of influence, it could still have a powerful cavalry team until the Alexander era.

Compared with the powerlessness of the Greek cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the Macedonian light cavalry is quite powerful!

When Murphy returned, he planned to build a stable. According to his estimate, at most one or two weeks, General Leodale should have returned with the slave merchant Prife. At that time, they should have bought a horse from the centaur, plus the saddle, stirrup and horseshoe made by the blacksmith shop. Athens towns could soon establish a cavalry unit ahead of the times!

Cavalry!

Representatives of mobility and lethality in the age of cold weapons!

When tens of thousands of cavalry rush, even the earth is trembling slightly!

The powerful frontal abilities of the Greek infantry phalanx, the profound archers of Cretan archers, and the powerful charge ability of the Macedonian light cavalry!

Murphy could almost foresee how powerful the town army would be in the future!

This battle was a frontal regret, and the casualties of Greek infantry were not large.

The cavalry team with eighty-high cavalry as the vanguard successfully cut the formation of the jagger army. Except for the difficulty of fighting with male jaggers as the vanguard at the beginning, the battle behind was basically no difficulty.

Although it is difficult for human heavy cavalry in this world to form a scale, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is probably stronger than the iron-armored cavalry in the auxiliary system of "Total War". Because these heavy cavalry are composed of human enthroned knights, they are all small nobles in the territory, and they do not work. They will go to the lord's castle every once in a while to receive collective military training and the lord's martial arts test. Moreover, these people's own combat skills are not bad. Just in terms of one-on-one combat power after dismounting, they may not be much weaker than the Spartan heavy infantry who did not strengthen.

These canonized knights are proficient in knight swordsmanship and are very familiar with bows and arrows. They are all-round talents from another world.

This can be seen from the fact that Mrs. Elizabeth had formed only three hundred heavy cavalry in a territory about the size of a prefecture-level city.

The wounded were being treated, and the task of cleaning the battlefield was handed over to the recruited farmers.

After successfully receiving the defeated soldiers who had been reorganized by Mrs. Elizabeth, Murphy couldn't help but have a headache about how to place them.

It is obviously impossible to integrate into the Athenian town.

Not to mention Mrs. Elizabeth's meaning, just talking about these soldiers would not agree.

They obviously wanted to fight back and retake everything they belonged to them. Perhaps the recruited farmers could be incorporated, but it was obviously impossible to enthrone knights and professional soldiers. They were all citizens and aristocratic, and they would not recognize themselves so easily.

Besides, if all these people are accepted, the population base will be higher than the population of Athenian towns themselves.

This is not conducive to Murphy's rule. Whether there is this possibility or not, it is something that Murphy will never allow!

If Mrs. Elizabeth had half the right to speak in the Athenian town, this ambitious woman might have some other thoughts. As of now, although Mrs. Elizabeth is mature and charming, Murphy has always regarded her as a partner and kept a proper distance.

Although this woman is beautiful, she is thorny.

In Murphy's heart, the high priest's weight was much heavier than hers.

After some thought, Murphy had a little bad thought.

That is to arrange these people on the former site of the original town. After the last battle, it was abandoned by Murphy, but the basic building facilities are still there. After a little renovation, it can be used as a small town. It is more than enough to accommodate these people. And the most important point is that it is the front line of conflict with the gnolls, which is equivalent to the portal of the entire territory now!

Murphy's idea was to arrange these people there and let them serve as a line of defense to fight the harassment of the gnolls for Murphy.

It is very happy to believe that these people who have lost their land and stay away from their homes because of the werewolves.

In this way, before helping Mrs. Elizabeth counterattack the territory, the Athenian towns could rest assured and seek development.

With such thoughts in his heart, Murphy immediately decided to go to Mrs. Elizabeth and talk to her about her intentions.

After a busy day, I finally arranged the dispersed soldiers.

Mrs. Elizabeth naturally accepted Murphy's proposal. Of course, this smart woman understood that Murphy would not arrange these soldiers near the town of Athens. She was not the kind of self-righteous vase, so naive that she thought she was beautiful and noble, all men should be kind to her. Moreover, in her observation, Murphy has always been a very calm person and a qualified lord.

This is also the key to her decision to work with Murphy and believe that he can help her regain her territory!

Murphy did not interfere in the resettlement of the defeated soldiers, nor did he show any intention of interfering. He only helped a batch of supplies, and the rest was left to Mrs. Elizabeth to handle it himself.

Time passed like this for a week.

Murphy collected some interesting news this week.

The most interesting thing is that the human city-state is imitating the Greek infantry phalanx. The slave merchants sent by the noble parliament clearly explained to them the power of the Greek phalanx!

Some soldiers of the city-state army are changing their combat methods and training in the Greek phalanx.

For this reason, the noble parliament even asked Murphy to send someone to guide him.

Murphy agreed happily, and then tactfully stated that the territory was very tight and the werewolf was ready to move. The soldiers were not well equipped. He urgently needed a batch of iron ore to forge new equipment.

At this time, the diplomats in the territory finally came into use.

After some bargaining, the two sides reached a cooperation with satisfaction.

It was about the third day after Murphy sent the instructor, General Leodale also returned. He not only brought back three hundred centaur longbows and a group of horses, but also brought back a centaur envoy.

Moreover, it is also a beautiful female pony.
