Summoning Total War

Chapter 33 Slave Trade (Part 2)

Because of the war, jackal slaves in the arena are very popular!

But it also consumes very quickly.

There is never mercy in the arena. Out of hatred for this kind of man-eating creature, the most bloody and violent shows are prepared in the arena.

For example, let a heavily armored knight chop a group of unarmed Gnoll slaves into pieces, or let a strong male Gnoll deal with two hungry lions at the same time!

These entertainment projects are very popular with people who have been evacuated from the front lines and forced to leave their homes.

This is hatred, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and the legal system that must be followed to survive in this era!

Of course, more than half of the nine hundred jackal slaves were actually resold to the military. The newly trained armies of human city-states need these jackal slaves to practice. At least they know how to kill these creatures and understand that they are not related to humans. What a big difference. Although the numbers are insufficient, the military instructors hope that the recruits can stab the corpses of these jackals a few more times before completing the training.

This is not a joke.

real!

In the age of cold weapons, it was very common to use the corpses of dead people to strengthen the will of soldiers.

Black marketeers - fur trade - gladiatorial arena - slave trade!

With the promotion of the Marquise Elizabeth, trade channels with the support of the Noble Council were quickly opened. The most important buffer point among them is Murphy's town port. The aristocratic council in the southern plains still has a very friendly attitude towards foreign humans like Murphy who call themselves Greeks. Especially at this time when the southern plains region is experiencing internal and external troubles!

And they also very much hope to get contact and help with other branches of humanity living in the dark land!

Just like the Northerners living in the northern snowfields.

Unfortunately, other human races currently explored by humans in the southern plains are very far away, and the population is not prosperous due to environmental reasons.

For now, the southern plains are the most prosperous gathering place for humans in the area currently explored.

It is also the only branch of human civilization that has entered the city-state era.

In fact, this plane is quite primitive. The rulers of the wild land are still the ferocious monsters left over from the previous era. The environment for human survival has never been so optimistic!

The first batch of slave traders attracted by the benefits arrived the day before yesterday.

In order to make this trade boom flourish, Murphy also provided these slave traders with a series of maps, which marked the gathering places and gathering conditions of the Jackals in the explored area within a radius of one hundred miles.

Of course, this requires paying a lot of silver coins.

Murphy, who has a strategic map, doesn't need to spend much effort on making these small objects, and counting the number of jackals gathered in the current territory is one of his daily tasks, just in case of emergency!

After a big battle that night, Murphy intensified his exploration of the surrounding area.

There are about thirty-two gnoll clans living within about a hundred miles of the territory, and the total number should be between 7,000 and 9,000. However, because of that big battle, the number of adult male gnolls in these gnoll clans dropped sharply!

Therefore, it is not a threat for the time being.

The losses caused by a tragic defeat can already make these jackals learn to fear and learn to be forced to admit Murphy's existence.

It hurts.

That's why you're afraid!

To deal with the beast, you have to understand this.

This morning, the Marchioness Elisabeth also returned.

Not only did she bring back a generous sum of money, but she also brought back a batch of 'gifts' that made Murphy ecstatic!

Weapons and iron!

These even include a small part of the heavy infantry half-body armor and weapons that the dwarves gave to the human city-states in the southern plains!

This gift is a bit heavy.

Even Murphy couldn't accept it calmly for a while! Obviously, this goes far beyond the scope of trade cooperation.

Mr. Murphy, I'm so sorry! Marquise Elizabeth said apologetically, but her eyes were full of excitement. She elegantly raised her skirt and sat in front of Murphy, like an elegant lady, graceful and gorgeous, She said slowly: My original plan was to open up the slave trade.

But I didn't expect that Archduke Rothschild would actually think of using your territory as a military buffer point to attract some of the attention of the jackal army on the front line! This should have been a very dangerous topic, but Elizabeth The Marquise didn't have the slightest worry when talking about it. She was very confident at the moment, both for herself and for Murphy.

I used my past family connections to secure this batch of material aid for you! Marquise Elizabeth took out a piece of paper with many names on it, as well as the identities these names represented in the Parliament of Nobles. This is very important information!

Your Excellency Murphy, with your wisdom, you can obviously understand that this is just a side adventure. Marquis Elizabeth stood up and smiled, her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, like the fragrance of roses, she handed the list of supplies in front of Murphy , and then said: It is not very likely that the Jackal army will be attracted by this place, because they have a sparse population and the battle line cannot be drawn too large. Even if their sight is attracted by this place, as soon as they make a move, the troops on the front line will It will be mobilized immediately, so the threat to our territory is not great!

However, this batch of aid materials can be obtained now. Marquise Elizabeth's lips were slightly opened, and the fragrance flowed out. She smiled slyly: And it is an advance payment.

It's free.

At this point, the Marquise Elizabeth smiled like a cunning fox.

But I don’t know why, but Murphy likes him very much.

He had been listening quietly, and until this moment, he showed a smile.

Murphy stood up seriously. He stretched out his right hand and said with a serious expression: Congratulations! Mrs. Elizabeth, you have gained my friendship!

The two looked at each other, smiled, and hit it off!

Lady Elizabeth brought Murphy about 13,000 silver coins in trade income, as well as a batch of iron ore purchased through the Noble Council!

This fund has been able to support the construction of Murphy Territory for some time. At least in the large town stage, there should be no shortage of funds. Because of the iron ore, Murphy also began to mine the open-pit coal mine within the territory.

The planning of the commercial area has been completed and the construction of the blacksmith shop is accelerating.

As long as the blacksmith shop is completed, the current weapons and equipment of the urban army can be upgraded!

With your own blacksmith shop, damaged weapons can be repaired, and some needed equipment can also be made by yourself. After all, reality is not a game, and many details require complex conditions. As a town where military power is the main development route, Murphy has to put all construction plans to improve combat effectiveness at the forefront!

Because of this trade, the relationship between Murphy and Lady Elizabeth has become somewhat closer.

Although it is the first time for the two to collaborate, their rhythms and ideas are quite consistent, like a pair of very familiar business partners.

Just when Murphy was about to discuss the next development direction with Lady Elizabeth, there was a 'ding' sound, and the prompt sound of the Total War auxiliary system sounded in his ears.

Ding! The temple construction is completed!

The divine power of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is out of danger and introduced into the belief system!

The temple data is integrated and reorganized, and the reorganization progress is 10%, 20%, 30%...
