Summoning Total War

Chapter 41 New Year's Ceremony (Part 2) Asking for a monthly pass

"Should we accept those indigenous people?"

This is a very serious issue for Murphy.

Because if this thing is done well, then he is undoubtedly successful in integrating the aborigines into the Athenian civilization. It is not that he passively accepts the assimilation of the indigenous people in order to gain their approval! Murphy doesn't need these aborigines to become Greeks. He only needs to assimilate these aborigines and accept Athens in the true sense of his heart, accepting Greek culture, and accepting him as a lord.

The meanings of the two are not the same!

If these aborigines can be successfully absorbed and integrated and allowed to identify with Athens and ancient Greek culture, then Murphy will have the ability to challenge the noble council and the upper-level managers of the entire human city-state!

And the most important point.

It's population!

That's right.

It is population.

The growth rate of citizens in the cities of Athens is very slow, and there is no real large-scale war yet. If you really have to face a big attack by half-orcs in the future, a few thousand citizens of Athens will not be enough.

It is not only a question of whether it can be defeated, but more importantly, what should be done after victory?

Leave a bunch of orphans and widows?

Once the fighting is fierce, the soldier's loss rate is too high.

Then the male citizen class in the city of Athens can be said to have been emptied most of the time!

What should I do at that time?

Can the aborigines in the territory be controlled?

………………

In addition to Murphy's need for Athenian soldiers as an intermediate force, he also needed a large number of foreign mercenaries as consumables for war.

And the best way to obtain these foreign mercenaries is to absorb them from the indigenous people!

Therefore, the plan to integrate and assimilate these indigenous peoples.

It should also be moved to the countertop.

………………

There are often changes in plans, and Murphy has to consider another point.

The issue of the loyalty of these indigenous people.

Murphy is not worried about the loyalty of the citizens of Athens. After all, the entire class of citizens comes from Greek civilization and has been tested by war. And there is also the hidden binding force of this "Total War" auxiliary system, at least there will be no problems until Athens really expands.

Besides, in this era.

The personal charisma and cohesion of the leader are also very important.

At this point, Murphy has very high points.

But these aborigines are different. They are not included in the data by the "Total War" auxiliary system, and their loyalty is not guaranteed. If there are enough benefits, they are likely to be bought by the noble council. And Murphy believes that there should also be a lot of eyes and ears of the noble council!

simply put.

To use these natives, Murphy can no longer rely on cheating devices such as the "Total War" auxiliary system.

He must rely on his own ability to judge talents and buy people's hearts.

This is a game!

If you win.

The rewards are staggering!

………………

December.

The inner city of Athens has temporarily entered a semi-open state.

Murphy finally decided to allow the indigenous people to participate in the New Year's celebrations, but the rules of this competition have changed.

It's such a good opportunity to integrate the indigenous people to expand their influence, and Murphy can't just give up.

Even if there is a slight risk.

………………

Competitive finally decided to divide it into two parts on the most important gladiatorial event, that is, aboriginals and citizens.

Murphy's plan after discussing with the generals was to increase the number of generals promoted to two. After this competition, Murphy intends to recruit troops from some aboriginal adventurers. They are all experienced fighters who can be competent on the battlefield with a little training. These aborigines are so strongly demanding to participate in the competition, but with a glimmer of hope to become a noble citizen of Athens.

If Murphy directly decides on citizens as generals, it may easily backfire.

In this way.

It would be better to raise the number of generals to two, select one from the aboriginals, and then one from the citizens of Athens.

As long as there is this beginning, I am afraid that by then, the aboriginal people will be unwilling talents.

Will swarm!

After all, Murphy needs more than just soldiers, he also needs talents from all walks of life.

Now that it has been decided to promote the indigenous people, it is necessary to use a little skill in the appointment of positions.

That is, the recruited aboriginal army is commanded by the generals promoted from the citizens of Athens, and the generals promoted from the aboriginals are assigned to the barracks.

The loyalty of the indigenous people is unstable and must be firmly in their own hands.

Therefore, their chief must be an Athenian citizen, and Murphy plans to test it slowly in the future, and pick out the more loyal soldiers to add. As for the aboriginal general who was promoted, he could throw it into the barracks first and train for the chief priest of the **** of war. As for whether loyalty is available in the future, there is naturally time to create gods to prove it.

What Murphy wants to express now is a gesture of'a daughter buys horse bones'.

The first batch of aboriginal troops recruited will not be too many, and at most they will remain at a human level.

So it can be used to exercise the ability to promote new generals.

December 31.

The last day of 375 years in the Second Age.

Everything about the New Year celebration has been arranged, and a grand ceremony will be held in the inner city of Athens tomorrow.

This festival is not open to the public.

Only citizens of the city of Athens are allowed to enter the inner city on that day to attend the ceremony of the goddess of wisdom, Athena. After a brief discussion with the high priest, Murphy finally decided to let some aboriginal believers who settled in Athens and believed in the goddess of wisdom to participate.

The competition started on January 2 and lasted about five days in total.

January 7th is the last day of the New Year celebration.

Murphy will personally determine the final winner and award a reward.

The first day of the New Year celebration is led by the high priest, who will lead the priests in the various temples to arrange everything. The subsequent competitions were shared by the generals, and the slave merchant Pulifei and the scholars in the university would arrange other programs. After all, competition cannot be completed in one day, and it takes a day for the injured to recover.

It takes some entertainment to create gods outside of competition.

Those aboriginal businessmen will solve these problems for Murphy.

………………

In the afternoon. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The high priest came to the governor's palace.

"The goddess gave me a new response." The high priest walked slowly into the study, his eyes fell on Murphy's body and whispered: "The scale of the miracle at the ceremony tomorrow may not be too large."

"Why?" Murphy frowned slightly when he heard the words, wanting to make this more deeply rooted.

Then the miracle scene must be big enough.

After all, mortals are stupid, they can only see what is in front of them.

The high priest looked different, she slightly raised her finger to the sky, and then said nothing.

Murphy suddenly nodded thoughtfully.

Has it attracted their attention?

It's really fast!
