Chapter 465: Scarlet Fortress

Cook, led by Robatina, came to a few kilometers behind the fortress. This is a large manor, which seemed to be a pasture before.
"Well, I'm very satisfied. Not only do there are wine cellars, but there are also a lot of vineyards." Cook replied after a visit, and the housekeeper who accompanied Cook was a housekeeper who was left by the owner of the manor to be the master. .
"Your Excellency, Pamir Manor is very famous. In the empire, the wine produced here is very famous. It has a history of more than one thousand two hundred years." The butler explained respectfully.
"Okay, how much is it?" Cook also took a fancy to this place. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The most important castle is large enough and the transportation is very convenient.
"Two million gold coins!" The butler didn't expect Cook to be so refreshing. You must know that the nobleman is not a caregiver, so the butler set a reasonable price.
"So what about the people in this manor?" Cook didn't say anything, but only two million gold coins. The land here is large enough. If there is no war, I am afraid it will be more than this price.
"Your Excellency, everything belongs to you!" the butler bent over and replied.
"Baghru, give money!" Cook nodded. The reason why Cook wanted to buy even the servants was mainly because the current situation is not very clear. After all, no one would have thought that Cook would actually buy and sell the manor here. I don't think of any characters here, but if Cook buys another servant, he will accidentally let the enemy in.
Then Baghru and Luocuo began to set up their defenses, and what they were doing was a flurry of hoops in the manor. After all, these were ogres and trolls, the existence of raw cannibalism in the legend.
But Baghru was obviously very comfortable with all this, and after a while, he cleaned up the rest of the people.
Xia was also taken into the manor. Xia looked at the manor and sighed: "This is at least a building from the Vatican era. Look at these carvings and architectural styles."
"Um?" Cook didn't know this, and looked at Cook with confusion.
"The Vatican era is the Pope Vatican 1,500 years ago. It is the empire of light..." West Asia pointed to Cook and explained while visiting.
Cook listened with gusto, and he had a deeper understanding of the world, but Xia finally sighed, "What a pity!"
"What a pity?" Cook asked without understanding.
"The Bright Empire does not recognize the title granted by the Noble Union Council, so your manor violates the regulations at all. For a manor like this, at least a Marquis of the Bright Empire can live in." Xia explained the answer.
"Could it be possible that they will demolish my place?" Cook asked grimly.
"Oh, maybe!" Xia replied with a mischievous smile.
While Cook was chatting with West Asia, in the manor on the other side of the road opposite the manor, two men were hiding in the attic looking at the ogres and trolls who were constantly guarding them.
The two men are both extremely burly statures. The difference is that one is wearing leather armor and the other is chain armor. Both men in their thirties are wearing chain armor. Seeing Baghru's defense, he sighed: "These ogres are simply bigger than the bears among the opposing orcs, and they also have outfits. The price of one piece is at least several hundred thousand."
"Baron Cook has money and he also cooperates with dwarves. Among other things, the weapons we buy are at least millions of gold coins, and the latest magic airship, which is sold for hundreds of millions." The leather armored watched. The tall ogre actually arranged a patrol, and the troll also began to guard.
"That's true, but did you say that this guy found something and why did he come to buy a house? Are we going to fight it hard now?" The man in mail looked at the people in Baglu and Luo Cuodai, and their equipment. , Asked some incredible.
"Follow him, we are just responsible for the collection of information." What is the leather armor wearing a piece of sheepskin carefully recording? While observing the shape of the manor that Cook bought, he sketched it out.
After a full few hours, the two people left, and Cook had no idea that his movements had been mastered, but Cook could probably guess that someone was following him.
"Cook, how about let's leave for a period of time?" West Asia is very worried. After all, some people are unfavorable to Cook. They are not afraid of ten thousand and are afraid of accidents. Although Cook is strong, Cook is not invincible.
West Asia, who has lived for hundreds of years, knows more than Cooke. The most indispensable thing in this world is desperadoes, and some desperadoes are of very high level.
"Hehe, no need, I have a way." Cook laughed.
"Is there any way, we can't come here." Xia asked angrily.
Cook hugged West Asia, looked at the fruitful grapes in the manor, and sighed and explained: "West Asia, I didn't want to come, but had to come. If millions of orcs would go, then the Mekai Empire It’s dangerous. What we need is time. As for the assassination, I don’t think anyone will do anything until the orc empire is resolved."
"How come?" Xia asked suspiciously.
"Haha, because of what I brought!" Cook said with a smile.
"You still want to give them something?" Xia looked at Cook like a fool, asking incredulously.
"Of course, in order for these guys to hold the orcs, I don't have the confidence to fight the orcs without taking out something." Cook was also unwilling.
But this is already one of the best roads in front of Cook. If the orc empire coalition forces are not afraid to withdraw, then only the bargaining chip to strengthen the orc coalition forces is to prevent the orc coalition from attacking the Scarlet Fortress. However, the combat effectiveness of the human coalition cannot be made too strong, so as not to hurt the orcs, so Cook must come personally to grasp this degree.
After thinking about it, West Asia understood Cook’s thoughts, but West Asia was still worried and said,
Cook, don’t be too confident. Sometimes the enemy is going to be unexpected, and you can’t know the sordidness among the nobles. of."
"Don't worry, I know." Cook did not say to Xia that he had known those people through Kaka. Without enough evidence, Cook didn't plan to turn his face.
"Well, we should go to see the legendary Scarlet Fortress." Cook stood up and said to Xia.
Baglu quickly led two hundred people to the Scarlet Fortress with Cook. The Scarlet Fortress can be seen from a distance. The Scarlet Fortress has a fifty-meter-high wall, all built of tons of boulders. The fortress is more than one hundred kilometers long, reaching the Natal Mountains on one side and extending directly to the edge of the cliff near the sea.
There is a martial law area of ​​several kilometers between the fortress wall and the city behind. This area is usually not martial law. Once a war breaks out, there will be martial law and there will be patrols.
To put it bluntly, the Scarlet Fortress is a city wall more than a hundred kilometers long. On the Scarlet Fortress, there are no so-called gates at all, all of which are sealed.
"Majestic!" Cook saw Scarlet Fortress up close, only two words to describe it. The height of fifty meters is about the height of 20 stories.
"Your Excellency, please!" Accompanying Cook was a commander of the Scarlet Fortress and a knight of the Light Empire, who was responsible for guiding Cook to visit the fortress.
Cook stepped on the blue-black rock, stroked the thick wooden railing in his hand, and climbed the stairs step by step. The stairs were inside the city wall. There were two fences with thick arms in the middle, which were guarded by soldiers.
"Your Excellency, once the wall fails, we can lock it all up to block the enemy's attack." The commander explained.
Cook nodded, this trick is very powerful, the thick fence isolated the stairs up and down, the height of fifty meters is not very high, but without clearing out the enemies in the fortress, blindly marching into the light empire, it is obviously not one a wise decision.
When Cook stood on the wall, he couldn't help being stunned. It was at least three to forty meters wide, and it could almost accommodate many carriages, and there were countless towers and watchtowers.
Magic crystal cannons, giant crossbows, catapults, these things on the Scarlet Fortress are densely placed there, and there are soldiers patrolling on horseback from time to time. There is a high wall every one kilometer on the wall, with a gate in the middle, obviously It was used to block off the wall in case of a breakthrough, and was guarded by a large number of soldiers.
"Your Excellency, welcome!" Cook finally came to the headquarters. A general welcomed Cook. It was a huge fortress-like building in the middle of the city wall. There were twenty fortresses like this, almost every few counts. There is only one kilometer, each fort can be stationed with 100,000 troops, plus the space inside the city wall, the maximum can be stationed with 5 million troops.
It can't help but that, behind the fortress can accommodate millions of civilians, as well as large-scale construction bases, smelting yards, and the entire Scarlet Fortress is a huge war machine.
"Your Excellency, this brown land was watered by blood." Cook looked at the brown land in front of the fortress. There was no plant at all, and the ground was covered with brown mud, the general next to him explained.
"Is that the camp of the orcs?" Cook asked vaguely looking at a tent of different colors more than ten kilometers away~EbookFREE.me~ Yes, it was the camp of the orcs! "The general nodded. The fortress is 100 meters high. Inside the fortress are not only powerful magic crystal cannons, but also high-level mages.
"Your Excellency, this is where the newly-built magic airship is parked." When he came to the top of the fortress, Cook saw the flat top of the fortress. There were ten magical giant crossbows, and there were many guards. , The general next to him explained.
"Hehe, it's not safe here." Cook said with a smile.
The face of the general next to him was hard to look at. Cook was telling the truth, but this thing is not under the control of the general, but under the jurisdiction of a new department. That's fine, but the guard is responsible for the military, so the general's face is very Ugly.
"General, I'm here to bring you a batch of equipment, I hope you can hold the fortress." Cook was very surprised by the general's reaction, but the general did not explain, Cook said politely again.
PS: Very depressed! It turns out that the muscle pain is an adverse reaction of the vaccine. I thought it was because of the poor technique of the doctor!
