Chapter 189: Beast Tide and Lionheart
There are two deputy ministers in the Ministry of Intelligence, and the last time I saw them was a middle-aged man.
This time, the deputy minister is an old acquaintance - the first military training instructor, that is, the famous old hunter in Datie Village.
The old hunter has never had a name, and everyone calls him the old hunter.
Later, Alan gave the old hunter a name, and the surname was directly based on his surname, and the name was set as Rohr, whose full name was Rohr Edward.
Rohr's position is at the level of deputy minister, and he is in charge of the network of intelligence organizations in the outer city, and is often responsible for thoroughly investigating whether a certain intelligence agent is suspected of being a double agent, and is also responsible for forming a network of intelligence personnel in an unfamiliar city on the front line.
This job is not a familiar person, and Alan is really not at ease.
Alan spread out the paper and read as follows:
"Urgent report, the tide of 100,000 extraordinarily large beasts in the mountains is heading south, and the location is the outpost of the Great Rift Valley."
The content is very concise, except for some words such as the secret order that verifies the identity, the square is the lingua franca of the Lionheart, and there is no encryption.
"Lionheart doesn't have such a science as cryptography, and the content should be true and reliable." The old hunter explained in a low voice.
He listened to Allen's military training during military training, and was exposed to advanced cryptography for the first time, and since then he has opened up a new world.
In his opinion, the knowledge of the Lionheart Kingdom is very backward, and the only password awareness is the secret text to verify the identity.
These words are very short, usually in the shape of something as the main number, and can only be regarded as the initial stage of the development of cryptography.
"Let's talk about it, what is the situation of the 100,000 mountains." Alan didn't know much about the 100,000 Great Mountain.
There is some information that is inconvenient to pass on with carrier pigeons, so as not to leak information, so the appearance of the old hunter is just right, and Alan can learn some more secret information from him.
The old hunter returned to the city this time to inform the royal city about the arquebus.
The level of information about the arquebus is very high, where the enemy's musket skills have developed, and the details of the gunpowder process in the royal city, etc., these information are very important, and he thinks that he must talk to Alan face to face and make him pay attention to it.
However, the current beast tide is obviously a top priority, it takes a lot of time to make guns and gunpowder on the Wangcheng side, and it will take less than half a year, don't think about starting a war with Tomorrow City.
The beast tide does not take that long, and the beast tide will be encountered within a month at the earliest.
The Great Rift Outpost is located in the middle of the 100,000 Mountains, where the soil is vermilion and the rift valley is very wide enough to accommodate tens of thousands of beasts to run.
Luo Er pondered the situation of the 100,000 mountains and said:
"The frequency of beast tides in the 100,000 mountains is relatively low, generally once in a few years, each time it is a super-large beast tide, and the level of extra-large is also determined by the beast tide of the 100,000 mountains."
"There are beast tides in the Great Rift Valley, but the beast tides don't just run out of the Great Rift Valley. 100,000 overbred beasts from the mountains will rush out of the mountains to hunt for food. ”
"There must also be a beast tide in the north of our east, and the overall threat level may not be as big as the extra-large level, but there may also be a large beast tide level, so you need to be careful."
The level of large beast tide is more than 10,000 beasts, and in the face of that level, Tomorrow City also needs to be careful.
The territory of Tomorrow City is larger, not the previous Datie Village, in case of running to a place with a low city wall, Alan will have to transfer troops to block it.
The best way is to guide in advance and let the beast tide consciously attack in the direction of the city wall, which requires Alan to use the height advantage of the city wall to fight the beast tide.
"By the way, the beast tide is heading south, and the lion soldiers in Moonlight Valley will also pull back." Alan said suddenly.
"That's right, but there are no carrier pigeons in Moonlight Valley to transmit messages, and it seems that the orcs in Moonlight Valley no longer use carrier pigeon channels."
The old hunter said this, a little regretful.
Rohr is very nostalgic for that era of innocence, the Lionheart Lions are very simple, very much believe in carrier pigeons, and think that no one can control the channels of carrier pigeons.
After all, raising a carrier pigeon takes time to cultivate costs, and abducting them also requires a lot of time costs, and no one can abduct carrier pigeons in large quantities.
But someone did it, using an inexplicable and wonderful pigeon language.
No one knows what Alan is talking about, but the pigeons believe in him, and his snack service is of great quality, and he can even help with the marriage of the pigeons, which is incredible.
"Mobilize the intelligence personnel who are dispatched, pay close attention to the road from Moonlight Valley to Silver City, once there is a big lion soldier on a large scale, immediately use the fastest temple carrier pigeon to contact, and at the same time, pay attention to the movement of the beast tide, and always report the dynamic information of the beast tide." Alan taps his finger on the desktop.
He wasn't afraid of the enemy coming to him, but he didn't fight unprepared battles, and if the enemy attacked Tomorrow City on the spur of the moment, he wouldn't be in a hurry.
"Yes!" After the old hunter finished speaking, he did not leave the office.
"Lord Allen, gunpowder weapons have also been invented over there in the royal city."
"I know this, gunpowder weapons are their 'secret' weapons to pacify those nobles." Alan smiled slightly.
Muskets are not such easy things to make, even if their blacksmiths are experienced, but there are always mistakes and mistakes in making guns quickly.
The barrel cannot be made, but the difficult thing is the material, as well as whether the inner circle of the barrel is smooth, whether it is potholes, etc.
"I've checked, and their weapons are very similar to our muskets, but the ignition device is not a flintlock, but a lead rope that ignites the gunpowder, and the gun is fired very slowly."
"The shooting power is also very weak, and at first I can't even see through the plate armor, so I can only leave black cracks in the plate armor."
"However, King Lionheart soon discovered the secret of the gunpowder ratio, and continued to recruit people into the royal city to study a stronger formula for gunpowder burning." The old hunter said this, his breathing slowed, and he obviously got to the point.
"I've heard from an insider in the royal city that the King's underground intelligence gate is organizing people to buy off the orcs of our gunpowder factory and intelligence department, trying to break through from the insiders."
When Alan heard the king's plan, he smiled, although he didn't care, but he still had to ask: "Then you found the 'insider'?"
"Found it, there are three of them." Rohr lowered his head, his voice doubling a little suddenly.
"Among those people, there are orcs from our first military training camp, and there are also lionmen from the latest military training class."
When Rohr talked about the first phase of military training, a painful expression on his face flashed.
In the first batch of students, Luo Er taught the most seriously, and he paid a lot of sweat, leaving him with very happy memories of his military service.
But he didn't expect that there were mutineers among the students in that batch, and the old hunter felt angry and sad at the same time, and his heart was very tired.
