Summoning Total War
Chapter 98
"How is this done?"
Looking at some magical pictures in front of her, Murphy raised her head and looked at Gandalf, the grey robed mage in front of her. She couldn''t help asking.
This scene is beyond Murphy''s estimation.
The shock brought to him was far greater than when the high priest used divinity to treat him.
Gandalf, the grey robed mage, gasped for a moment. It seems that his previous casting consumed a lot of energy. After his spirit recovered, he said: "among the scholars who first went to the residence of ancient elves to learn magic. A group of scholars are very curious about how ancient elves got close to nature and controlled wild animals. They learned part of Druid magic from a big Druid. This school is called metamorphosis
"Humans can''t be transformed into some kind of powerful beast like the spirit Druids, but they have learned a kind of power called the spirit of the wild from the great Druids."
"My mentor is a caster who masters the spirit of the wild. He knows how to communicate with eagles and use their eyes to observe the world."
Gandalf, the grey robed mage, took the dark green gem from the ground and put it into his robe. He said slowly, "this gem is called the eye of Isala. It''s something that scholars have found from ancient relics. It can store some images, but it needs a lot of magic to drive."
Ancient relics?
Murphy''s heart moved, and he nodded if he knew something.
"The jackals on the south line have been defeated by Lord rotundschald, but the jackals on the north line are still deadlocked." The magician Merlin looked solemn. He took out a map from his arms, pointed to a point on it, and said in a deep voice: "the orc army will cross the nidoria River from here to the front of the southern plain. If they''re going to unite with the jackals, then it''s serious
In this great counterattack, the human city-state assembled nearly 200000 troops.
It can be said that the entire southern plains of human beings have been mobilized, with more than twice the total population of jackals to counter attack!
As long as Murphy holds on to this main road, the elite of the front-line jackals can be said to have no escape. As long as these adult male dominated jackals are eliminated, the remaining problems will be much easier. Moreover, for a long time in the future, jackals are unlikely to pose a threat to the human city-state! However, all this became complicated under the mobilization of the orc army.
If the orcs get involved in this battle over the southern plains, it''s hard to say what the future will be.
Orcs are different from jackals. They inherit the orc civilization, have their own army, know how to forge weapons and cultivate crops.
They are truly intelligent species, though far less culturally than humans.
But in military and weapon forging, it is better than human beings.
Murphy carefully looked at the map in front of him, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked, "what does aristocratic Council mean?"
He pointed to the territory in front of the canyon, which was originally occupied by the jackals, connecting the original territory of the mixed blood elves and extending to the salasi basin, covering an area of more than one and a half provinces in previous generations! It used to be a land actively explored by human beings. But because of the attack of the jackals, they had to give up.
"They''re going to give up these territories and set up a defense line here?" Murphy pointed to his feet and said.
If so.
Then the territory promised to Murphy by the aristocratic Council of the human city-state has shrunk at least by half!
Moreover, more than half of Mrs. Elizabeth''s 3600 square kilometers of land have to be abandoned, which means that Murphy''s final possession of land is less than 1200 square kilometers from this canyon to the city of Athens. Most importantly, if all these territories are included by Murphy, then he will become the first line of defense to bear the orc attack!
Murphy suddenly had a feeling of being calculated by the human city-state!
He could not help feeling a trace of anger at the bottom of his heart!
Obviously, these magicians have been aware of the movement of the orc army for a long time. But when he put forward his plan to let Murphy guard the canyon, he didn''t tell him that the orc army would join the battle. He didn''t say anything until he sent out his troops.
No wonder they will so readily agree to their requirements!
The nobles of those human city states not only included themselves in the scope of calculation, but also Lady Elizabeth.
Sorcerer Merlin also noticed that Murphy''s face was getting cold. He opened his mouth to explain something, but he couldn''t say it in the end. Their arrival was actually arranged by the aristocratic Council. On the one hand, they helped Murphy, on the other hand, they monitored Murphy?
Without sending any generals, he handed over nearly 5000 troops to commander Murphy.
How is that possible?
The atmosphere is getting colder.
Murphy always thought that because of the bad living environment of human beings in this world, the whole race should be united.
But now it seems that his idea is a little naive.
I''m afraid that at first, Lord Rothschild helped himself with his supplies in order to restrain the jackals and attract their attention?
I''m afraid even they didn''t expect that Athens would develop at such an amazing speed.
It is precisely because of the growing city of Athens that the aristocratic Council proposed to guard this canyon and bear the attack of the Jackal army? On the one hand, it consumes the strength of Athens City, on the other hand, it can reduce its own losses.
And the price paid is only the territory that has no owner in name.
If Murphy holds it, he can be a line of defense for the orcs. In fact, after reading the map given by the magician Merlin, Murphy immediately found that the territory promised by the aristocratic Council was almost in line with that of Lady Elizabeth. That is to say, if we give up recovering the land occupied by the jackals a year ago, we will turn inward. Then the orc army will attack the interior of the southern plain, and the territory promised to Murphy is the first battlefield!
The only thing to be thankful for is that human beings in this world are not stupid enough to sell their own people.
At least they know they have to give if they want to get something.
They did send a group of elite troops and promised Murphy land and a lot of materials.
That''s why Murphy didn''t turn over on the spot.
He had to swallow the bitter fruit himself!
Murphy looked at the people in front of him coldly and said in a deep voice, "I promise to stay here for two days!"
"The promise of the Athenians is very clear!" Murphy picked up the pen, drew a circle on the map, and said in a deep voice, "all the land here belongs to me, though it is still in the hands of the jackals! But one day I''ll get it back with my own hands. "
"Two days later, if Lord Rothschild''s army has not arrived. I''ll get out of the Canyon! " Murphy looked at the magician in front of him and said in a cold voice.
He understood now.
The so-called counter offensive is a fraud at all!
The aristocratic Council, which has been monitoring the movement of the orcs, never thought of taking back the land south of the zangara mountains, so they generously promised to give the land of nearly 2500 square kilometers to Murphy. In fact, I''m afraid the original plan of the aristocratic Council was to recover the plain area north of the canyon. Then take this canyon as the defense line to resist the attack of the orc army!
To put it more simply.
The aristocratic Council first made a good deal with Murphy with materials in order to win his favor and make him send troops, and then promised Murphy the land beyond the canyon that he did not intend to take back as a reward. If the orc army does not move, then this cooperation is a win-win situation. But if the orc army also launched an offensive, the end would be that Murphy had only a small piece of cake left.
However, the purpose of human city-state to recover the plain area and the key of the canyon has been achieved.
At this time, Murphy is unlikely to give up and withdraw.
Because if you give up the canyon, his territory will be completely isolated. Facing the difference between orcs and jackals, the jackals did not notice that a town was built in the rear in just a few months after the rise of their territory. But now it''s different. If the orcs attack the southern plains, Murphy''s territory will bear the brunt!
In other words, whether Murphy wants to or not, he must stick to the human army.
It''s hard to be shot!
All along, Murphy''s war business has been progressing step by step, but he did not expect that he would fall in such a way.
"See off!" Murphy, with a cold face, murmured to the general''s bodyguard outside the tent.
Now that everything is clear, there is no need to see these magicians acting in front of themselves.
Seeing Murphy''s indifferent expression, the magician Merlin didn''t say anything more.
All this is in the plan, no one will be calculated to give them a good look. They turned and left.
But the thin figure in the long gray cloak whispered to Murphy as he walked out of the tent: "at least your territory is safe."
Safe?
There was a sneer on Murphy''s lips.
He rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and pondered.
After a long time.
"Careless..." he sighed, and then said to the tent, "let general riodari and Marcus Kane come here."
After a pause, he added, "Mrs. Elizabeth, please."
