When Murphy heard the news, she was shocked. For a moment, she didn''t control her strength well. She broke the cup in her hand by mistake.
The broken debris cut his palm, and a trace of blood penetrated out. But Murphy didn''t care. The high priest''s transformation of his body has become more and more perfect. Strictly speaking, he is no longer a human body.
At least now it''s not the body of ordinary people.
"How could it not last three days!" Murphy reaches out and grabs the soldier in front of him. The huge force from his arm makes the soldier show a painful expression. However, he doesn''t break free, but tells Murphy what he knows very quickly.
Although Murphy had expected the collapse of the gorge pass for a long time, it was different from what happened.
Murphy really didn''t think that the canyon pass would fall so fast!
In less than two days, they were taken down by the army of orcs.
According to this momentum, as long as the half beast army takes Athens again, it can drive straight into Athens. At that time, God knows how much more people will have to pay to win the final victory.
It may not even be possible to win.
………………
"Gunpowder!"
After listening to the soldiers in front of him, Murphy gazed at the map in front of him and said slowly, "the problem will never be gunpowder!"
Gunpowder technology in this era.
As an outsider from the earth, Murphy certainly knows, and is very clear.
Because he had the idea of embarking on gunpowder civilization, but this idea was finally abandoned by him.
On earth, gunpowder was born in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it didn''t really develop until the Song Dynasty.
The Sui Dynasty was built about 600 years ago, while the Song Dynasty was built about 1000 years ago.
There is an interval of nearly 400 years!
Even in the Song Dynasty, the technical level of gunpowder was still arson. Far from it, the golden ratio of gunpowder alone will take hundreds of years to test and invent. In the early days, the explosive performance of gunpowder was not good, and most of them stayed in the role of arson, that is, to use the flammability of gunpowder.
This situation lasted until the Northern Song Dynasty.
In order to resist the Liao and Jin Dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty developed gunpowder weapons on a large scale.
After the extinction of the Northern Song Dynasty, Mongolia rose to the West and entered Europe. It was not until the Ming Dynasty overthrew the rule of Mongolia and restored the authority of the Han people that firearms technology developed and expanded on a large scale.
If it is this time, the difference will be 1000 years!
The world''s gunpowder technology is far from reaching that standard, even in the hands of dwarves, I''m afraid there may not be a perfect proportion of black powder formula.
Early gunpowder is not explosive. What can we do to increase the explosive energy?
The only way is to add more.
That''s why there is the saying of powder keg, because at that time, the powder used for blasting was calculated by keg.
This situation even lasted until the late Middle Ages.
The dwarves have a better proportion of gunpowder, but this is their son. Not to mention the orcs, even the humans who have been friendly with them can''t get it.
We have gunpowder in our hands, even in Murphy''s.
Because it''s impossible to build quarries without gunpowder in this era. But the level of gunpowder in this era, Murphy is very clear, not only the power is not enough, but also the quantity is not much. Sulfur may be available, but niter is not so easy. Dwarves are very strict in this aspect, and the best proportion of gunpowder has not been obtained by other races.
Even if there is gunpowder in the hands of orcs, the quantity will not be too much.
Otherwise, where else do they need a catapult? Just use a powder keg to open the way.
But it''s a real problem.
To make gunpowder at the level of ORC civilization is a fool''s dream! Then the only explanation is that someone helped them with part of the gunpowder!
That''s not good news for Murphy.
………………
-------------------------------
Gunpowder is not what Murphy is worried about. In fact, as long as the level of gunpowder does not develop to the level of guns, the risk is not great. Even in the middle of Ming Dynasty against Mongolia, the border army refused to use the firearm, because it was the level of a shot, and it had to wipe the bore after it was finished. The speed was appalling.
If it''s rainy, those things are just sticks.
In the background of this era, even the appearance of firecrackers may not be useful.
Lead bullets can''t pierce the body armor at all, and the speed of the cavalry can only make the opponent hit one shot at most. The world''s horses are far bigger than the earth''s, and their explosive power is even stronger! Unless there are guns in the later period of the industrial revolution, the power of early firearms is really disappointing. This is also an important reason why Murphy gave up the gunpowder road.
More investment, less harvest.
It is impossible to transform into combat effectiveness in a short time.
This was very little for Athens at that time. In Murphy''s view, the best thing is what can be used now. If you can''t keep your territory, it''s useless!
From the emergence of gunpowder to the application of firearms to the emergence of guns and cannons, there is an interval of hundreds of years or even nearly a thousand years.
The historical time gap is too big.
It''s no problem to make a little use of knowledge to open one or two golden fingers, but this kind of great leap forward includes physical chemistry and so on.
That''s gold thighs.
Murphy is not a science student, and even a large number of science students may not be able to complete the progress of gunpowder civilization all the way. Because there is no Baidu in this world, and people''s memory will disappear with time. How many people can still remember the knowledge of physical chemistry after working for several years? Besides, Murphy just has an advantage in history and culture.
There was a silence.
Murphy gazed at the bloodstained soldier in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "do you mean you met a stronger Orc army when you came out?"
"Yes." The soldier nodded and said, "they are very strong! They are all wearing armor, and the weapons are very sharp. When we cut down our weapons with them, there will be a gap. "
"I see. You go down first and have a rest
Murphy waved, frowned and lost in thought.
obviously.
The orcs got a lot of good material aid.
There is even gunpowder and a lot of elite equipment in this batch of aid, and it may even include a few flying mounts!
Otherwise, they would not have been able to launch a surprise attack behind the pass of the canyon!
Such a large amount of material aid.
There''s no doubt it''s the work of the orc empire. Only they can give so many things at once to help the orcs.
………………
-------------------------------------
There are flying mounts!
This is a real problem.
Naturally, Murphy from the earth civilization can''t be afraid of gunpowder. He has always been closely concerned about the progress of civilization in this era. Anything beyond the historical progress will be interfered by gods. Now that the gunpowder used by orcs has appeared, it means that this technology is not beyond the level of the times. It''s within the limits of the world''s civilization.
In this way, the power of gunpowder and so on should not deviate from the level of the earth''s gunpowder development progress.
If it''s just the early black powder, even if the orcs still have something left after conquering the canyon, it won''t be any trouble for the Athenian territory.
But those flying mounts.
It''s really a headache for Murphy.
The role of flying mount is too big. It not only means that it can fly soldiers to the enemy''s rear to ambush, but also means that it can carry out the best investigation in this era!
I didn''t do it.
What bothers Murphy most is detection, which means that everything is easy to expose in the eyes of the enemy.
That''s what really bothered Murphy.
"Send for the high priest." Murphy rubbed his forehead and said to the waiting attendant outside.
According to Murphy''s estimation, the canyon is basically unable to hold under such circumstances. However, it should be no problem to delay. The aboriginal general guarding the canyon pass is a talent. Murphy has heard his name from Elizabethan. With his ability, even if he can''t hold the canyon pass, he should be able to delay it until this morning.
In other words, Athens still has about a day and a half to prepare.
"Forget it!" Murphy suddenly stopped the retinue who was ready to leave. He slowly got up and frowned, "I''d better go to see the high priest myself."
I''m afraid that the number of the army will exceed 100000.
With such a large number, even if Athens had a fortress as a gateway, it would be very difficult.
Murphy has to know what kind of help the Olympian gods can give him before he can decide what to do next.
Just as Murphy was about to leave the governor''s house.
There was a thunderbolt outside!
Immediately.
A burst of noise and exclamation was heard outside, followed by the footsteps of the army''s emergency mobilization.
Murphy was immediately surprised.
The bodyguard with a few general guards walked out of the governor''s house and headed for the noisy place.
