--------------------------------

The Second Age, May 5th.

Soldiers approached the city.

"Alert! Alert! Large-scale unknown creatures have entered the territory of Athens!"

"Alarm! Alarm! The number of unknown creatures exceeds 50,000, which poses a serious threat!"

………………

The next day, Murphy was awakened by the alert sound of the auxiliary system of Total War. He really didn't expect that after upgrading to the [Kingdom Age], the auxiliary system would have such a function, and it would be able to guard the area of the territory. The strategy map page of the auxiliary system of "Total War" was summoned in his mind. Murphy saw a black spot of light, with a very obvious blood-red skull logo on it.

That means that the army of half-orcs has entered the scope of the Athenian territory.

call.

After taking a long breath, Murphy murmured, "It's finally here!"

The "Total War" auxiliary system cannot clearly indicate the number of enemies, but it can count the size of the enemy with rough numbers.

According to Murphy's vague judgment, the orc army entering the Athenian territory is probably close to 80,000!

Three times the total population of Athens!

Outside the door came the heavy footsteps of the generals and guards. He stood at the door and said to the room: "Your Excellency, the beacon smoke on the front line has been lit."

"I see." Murphy nodded silently, took the silver-white chain mail that Mrs. Elizabeth had given him and put it on her body.

He walked out of the room slowly, glanced at the guard of the generals and guards beside him, and said solemnly: "A military blockade order is issued!"

"The port of Athens is completely closed and no one is allowed to leave!"

"The inner city guards are mobilized, and no citizens are allowed to enter and leave at will!"

The guard of the General Guard had a solemn face and said loudly: "Yes!"

After ordering a few things, Murphy took the general guard and the 480 elite Macedonian cavalry in Athens and rushed towards the fortress.

Since yesterday, Athens has imposed a complete military blockade.

All materials and manpower were mobilized. All the equipment that the smithy had built in the inventory this year was taken out, and all the men between the ages of 15 and the age of the territory, including the citizens of Athens, were allocated weapons. In the past six months, almost all adult men in the territory of Athens have received basic military training in the Temple of War.

Although these militias as the reserve team are not equipped with leather armor, they are all equipped with spears and wooden shields.

There are woods everywhere in the territory of Athens, making spears and wooden shields is the easiest and easiest large-scale armament. For these militia as a reserve team, Murphy doesn't need the quality of the weapons, as long as they can kill people. As for the wooden shield, it doesn't need to be beautiful or strong. A few wooden boards are more than enough to defend against arrows and simple hacks.

After all, they cannot be counted on on the real main battlefield.

Be regarded as the aboriginal refugees who have been gathered, the total population of the Athenian Territory is about 24,000. The total number of the territorial army is 14,000, which means that almost all adult men have been mobilized and armed by Murphy.

Among the 4,000-strong army, the number of the army composed of Athenian citizens is 8,400, and the rest are militia reserves and recruited aboriginal mercenaries.

Inside and outside Athens.

Twelve Greek phalanxes lined up neatly, and Murphy rode a tall black horse standing in front of the team.

Yesterday, General Rio Dalé had taken more than 80% of the First Army to the fort for defense. The army currently led by Murphy is mainly the reserved cavalry and auxiliary corps.

The cold wind was bitter.

The chief priest of the God of War was silent like a steel face, and he silently guarded Murphy's side, like a solemn javelin, murderous!

Twenty-four Spartan conquerors stood at his side, and they replaced the Spartan fanatics as Murphy's new guards. It is also an important force to tear open the enemy's line of defense when necessary!

Ancient Greek military music sounded at the city gate, and the high priest led a group of priests slowly to the front of the army.

Murphy got off his horse and walked up to her with a determined step.

"The goddess is with you." The high priest leaned slightly and placed his hand on Murphy's forehead.

Looking at the soft person in front of him, Murphy's mouth showed a smile, but then disappeared. After receiving the blessing of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, he turned his head and looked at Helen who was standing beside the high priest. The mermaid does not have the same care as the high priest. Almost all the citizens of Athens know that the priest of Aphrodite, the **** of love and beauty, is the dormitory of the governor.

She opened her arms and hugged Murphy gently, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on his forehead, and slowly said, "This is the blessing of the goddess."

Clang!

Turning around, Murphy looked around. Soldiers, citizens, merchants, and farmers, he raised his sword high and said loudly: "We will win!"

"victory!"

"victory!!"

"victory!!!"

There was loud cheers all around, and the soldiers banged their shields with their spears. The rhythmic crashing sound was in harmony with the heartbeat, and a high fighting spirit suddenly appeared on all of them.

"Get out!" Murphy turned on his horse, pointed the sword at the fortress, and roared: "Let's go tell those green-skinned craps!"

"Athens is invincible!"

The sound of neat footsteps sounded, the army slowly pulled out, the soldiers had solemn faces, and their eyes resolutely looked ahead.

The Macedonian elite cavalry galloped on horseback, split into two after reaching the front of the queue, and then marched around the team. Twenty-four ballistas were located at the rear of the team. They were placed on a flatbed cart and pushed forward by a soldier. When the army walked out of the area covered by the paved road, the road began to raise dust, and the dust that rose up was like a yellow dragon, spreading for miles!

………………

After arriving at the fortress, Murphy immediately placed the army to General Marcus Kane.

And he himself took the chief priest of the **** of war and the Spartan conquerors full of weaves to catch up with the fortress wall.

The fortress, which lasted more than half a year and spent a lot of manpower and material resources on Murphy, was 400 meters long, five meters wide, and about ten meters high. The city wall has concave and convex openings to facilitate archers shooting and avoiding enemy arrows. The entire fortress wall is all made of brick and soil, and it can definitely be regarded as a first-class fortress in this era!

To know that in the past six months to create gods, Murphy almost stopped the pace of building Athens, and the bricks fired in the generals were basically consumed here. The manpower and a large amount of material resources of a whole number of thousands of people spent more than half a year creating gods, just to build this section of the city wall that is only more than 400 meters long.

Although there is no reinforced concrete, in terms of strength alone, at the level of this era, it is almost impossible to collapse it with fire or catapult.

Walking up the city wall, Murphy suddenly smelled a **** smell that hadn't gone away.

On the city wall, the Greek heavy infantry were lined up in two queues, each responsible for a notch to cooperate with each other, and behind them were a number of fully woven Athenian longbowmen, and a large number of arrows were placed at the corner of the inner side. In front of the Athenian longbowmen, there is a mound of three or four centimeters wide and ten centimeters long. The arrows they use are netbsp; this is mainly to increase the degree of archery.

After all, the real battlefield is not a game. In addition to aiming at the bow, the archer needs to put the arrow in a place where he can get it.

Before the battle, the archer will chase ten to fifteen arrows on the mound in front of him, so that he can quickly pick up the arrows during the battle.

This is a very important tip!

It can increase the shooting degree of archers by more than 30%!

"Your Excellency Governor!"

As soon as he saw Murphy up the wall, General Riodare rushed over with a team of guard soldiers.

"how is the situation?"

Murphy glanced at the blood stains on General Riodare's body, and said solemnly, "How is their offensive momentum?"

General Riodare has a very bad habit, that is, he likes to lead the way in battle. If he is just an ordinary general, he can be used as a future, but the problem is that he is the most military general under Murphy, and the most prestigious general besides him! Adding the two together, his habit of rushing to the front of the battlefield is not a good habit.

To this end, Murphy had to mobilize a team of Spartan heavy infantry as his general guard.

"The enemy is very powerful, but the offensive is not very obvious. It was just a tentative attack." General Riodare noticed Murphy's frowning brows, and he knew that Murphy did not agree with him fighting on the front line. Even the confidence to speak is a little weaker.

General Rio Dare is a rigid man, with the highest prestige among many generals, but he still has a little respect for Murphy.

Except for Murphy, it is difficult for others to control his will.

He has a very strong dictatorship in military leadership, so it is difficult for anyone except Murphy to pull him from the front line in battle.

Sighing, Murphy actually understood in his heart that this guy had the bloodthirsty genus recognized by the "Total War" auxiliary system, and he would easily lose control when he encountered a battle, and his desire for blood to kill would easily influence his will.

This is also one of the important reasons why Murphy has to personally supervise the formation.

After patrolling the battlefield for a while, Murphy faced the general Rio Dallie next to him, and said solemnly: "Move the bodies of those enemies."

"Yes!" The soldier on the side led his way.

Soon, the corpses of several half-orcs were moved to Murphy's front.

The heights of these corpses ranged from about 1.8 to 1.9 meters. The physique was a little stronger than that of human beings. They were wearing leather armor and the weapon in their hands was a rectangular blade of about 30 cm. The blade of this weapon is sharp, beveled, and has a thick back, which is good for chopping.

"They are not probing and attacking." Murphy put down the weapon and slowly said: "This is their main force."

Such equipment, except for the lack of metal armor, can basically be said to be the standard configuration of regular troops. The vast majority of soldiers in the regular human army may not have such good equipment. Had it not been for Murphy to make a lot of profits during the trade with the Centaur, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Elizabeth bought a large amount of iron ore, the regular army in the Athenian territory might not have such equipment.

At present, the soldiers in the Athenian territory, except for the most elite soldiers who received assistance at the beginning, are equipped with half-length armor.

The other soldiers recruited later were equipped with leather armor. Simply put, it is to sew pieces of iron sheet on leather armor or cloth armor to protect some vital parts of the body.

"How about your own casualties?"

Murphy glanced at the orc army camped two kilometers away, and asked, "Did you see the siege equipment?"

"There were no casualties."

General Riodare glanced at Murphy and said, "I saw a few trebuchets, but they didn't use them."

No casualties?

In the face of such an enemy, how could he have no casualties?

As if seeing Murphy's doubts, General Riodare also said unclearly: "They planned to attack, and most of them died after they approached the wall."

storm!

what happened?

Isn’t the wisdom of these half-orcs good?

How to face such a tall city wall with such a huge casualty method of storming?

"Shouldn't it?" Murphy shook his head, and looked at the camp of the group of orcs with some uncertainty.

It must be weird.

Seeing how these half-orcs win the canyon pass, they are not at the level of ordinary people.

"Be careful of defense. Tell me immediately if there is any change." Murphy retracted his gaze, fell on the general Marcus Kane beside him, and said.

"Yes!"

"Yes! Your Excellency Governor!"

………………

In the evening.

The last bit of afterglow rendered the sky colorful, and the sound of a certain creature in the distance spread with the wind.

A piece of smoke rose from the fortress. The soldiers were cooking in batches, and the same was true in the camp of the orcs. Since the strong attack in the morning, there was almost no movement in the camp of the orcs, and there was no second attack until the evening.

This is a very strange thing.

Compared with their race against the clock for two consecutive days to attack the Canyon Pass, it is really weird!

Compared with the Canyon Pass, this pass established by Murphy is indeed not too dangerous, because it can be bypassed from both sides. On one side, you can go deep from ten kilometers away, but you have to enter the dense forest, and there is no road, not suitable for large-scale advancement. The other side is deep into the Karazhan Mountains. If you follow this route, you only need to climb over one place.

However, there lived a group of Karazhan Hurricane Pterosaurs, about six to seven.

Into the night.

The wind was howling, and at about seven o'clock in the evening, a rain cloud floated from the west.

Immediately, from about 8:30 onwards, there was a thunderstorm on the battlefield. The heavy rain washed the blood stains on the walls, and then gradually overflowed.

Rumble!

A flash of lightning pierced the sky, and Murphy stood on the wall and looked at the camp of the orcs.

The whole camp was dark under heavy rain, but it didn't cause any confusion. Through the sound of wind, rain and thunder, Murphy vaguely heard a kind of ancient vicissitudes of music, the rhythm is not high, but there is a force that penetrates the soul.

"It's the sacrificial song of the orc shaman."

I don't know when, the chief priest of the **** of war came to Murphy's side. He looked at the camp of the half-orcs and said in a deep voice: "The shaman will use his strength to soothe the hearts of those warriors."

"Do they have gods?" Murphy asked suddenly.

The chief priest of the God of War shook his head and said, "They believe in the **** of the orcs."

Rumble!

Another lightning flashed across the sky.

"Why are they so reluctant to attack?" The chief priest of the **** of war looked at Murphy and asked.

Murphy shook his head slightly, then fell into contemplation.

His slightly thin body stood in the rain, and the rain fell down the armor on his body, but his body was straight, like a spear pointing angrily at the sky, full of invisible power!

Unconsciously, after coming to this world for a year and a half, after creating a god.

Murphy also gradually grew up, and the blood and killings succeeded in sharpening his will and strength.

He now looks more and more like a soldier, a Spartan soldier.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning struck a tree not far away, and the tree snapped suddenly, and the place struck by the lightning became black.

Murphy opened his eyes, he looked up at the sky, let out a long breath, and slowly said, "I will know the answer tomorrow."

………………

The rain brought a chill, but this chill could no longer cause Murphy any trouble.

The difficult living environment has given the world's intelligent species a stronger body, even human beings are stronger and more powerful than those on earth.

Clang!

Murphy drew the long sword across his chest, moved his left foot back, and slightly bent his right foot. This is the starting style of the knight's "Blow Swordsmanship".

He looked back at the chief priest of the **** of war behind him, and whispered, "Do we have a war song?"

"Yes!" The chief war priest had a firm face, and he nodded and said solemnly.

Ah!

The long sword slashed horizontally, and the cold light on the sword was like a glimpse. This blow unexpectedly cut the rain falling in front of him in half.

With another vigorous chop, Murphy said loudly: "Sing it to me!"

"wake up!

Greek boy!

The glorious moment has arrived!

To imitate our ancestors,

Not in vain to be the offspring of a hero!

…………

wake up!

The soul of Sparta!

How can you sleep so deeply?

With your old partner Athens,

Unite into an invincible army!
