Chapter 69 The Widow

The most important thing now is to rebuild the people's confidence in defeating the werewolves, and then drive the werewolves back to their hometown in one fell swoop in autumn!

Among the rumors about Murphy, everything he did when he reorganized mercenaries was the most widely circulated. What spread all this was naturally the lower mercenaries who had fought with him. For such a military commander who had the courage to bring victory, they were always flirting with each other when talking to others.

When she met Mrs. Elizabeth again, she was much more haggard than she used to be.

She was wearing light makeup on her charming face, but she still couldn't hide the fatigue and faint dark circles on her face. It can be seen that she had spent a lot of effort to place these remnants, and she seemed a little unhappy.

"Didn't you have breakfast? Have you eaten something?" Murphy sat down, raised his hand slightly at Mrs. Elizabeth, and signaled her to eat something first.

Mrs. Elizabeth picked up the milk and took a sip, then put it down, seemingly having no appetite at all.

"There is not enough food, or something else? If I can help, just speak." There are more than 8,000 remaining soldiers gathered under Mrs. Elizabeth. Although most of them are farmers, so many people consume a lot of food every day. Murphy helped a group, and Mrs. Elizabeth herself raised a sum of funds through means, but it was still almost enough. She once mentioned that the wealth accumulated by the family for generations was buried near the castle, but it was now the territory of the werewolves, and it was a dream to take it out.

There was a slight hesitation on Mrs. Elizabeth's face. She stared at Murphy for a long time before she said hard: "I can be an excellent politician, but I am not a qualified military strategist."

"Hmm?" Murphy was slightly puzzled.

Mrs. Elizabeth looked a little struggling, but in the end she still said with a serious expression: "I want you to command the army!"

"Me?" Murphy smiled and said slowly, "My reputation is not enough to make them obey."

This era may be more appropriate to describe it in one sentence.

That is, 'My vassal is not my vassal.' Mrs. Elizabeth's knights might obey her orders, but they would obviously be very repulsive to herself, because these family knights would worry that Murphy would deprive them of their rights, and that Mrs. Elizabeth would command them, and that they were or what. But if Murphy took over, the first thing they had to do was to disrupt their organization and take everything into their own hands. At that time, their status would be hard to say, because everything would be decided by Murphy.

Simply put, if Murphy takes over the army, then if he regains territory in the future.

It is hard to say who the territory belongs to.

If they belong to Mrs. Elizabeth, they will be able to obtain the rights they have in the past. If they belong to Murphy, everything will be reshuffled! Because it is impossible for Murphy to return the territory to them.

Unless, Mrs. Elizabeth marrys Murphy, who inherits the title of Marquis.

At that time, according to the tradition of human city-state aristocrats, the status of these family knights would be guaranteed.

However, this possibility is not high.
