Cook, led by Robatina, came a few kilometers behind the fort to a large manor house that appeared to have been a former ranch.

"Well, I'm very satisfied, not only the wine cellar, but also the large number of vineyards. Cook replied after a visit, and with him was a butler, the man who had been left by the owner of the manor to be in charge.

"Your Excellency, the Pamir Manor is very famous, and in the Empire, the wine produced here is very famous, and it has a history of more than 1,200 years. The butler explained respectfully.

"Okay, how much?" Cook also took a fancy to this place, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the most important thing is that the area of this ancient castle is large enough and the transportation is also very convenient.

"Two million gold coins!" The butler didn't expect Cook to be so cheerful, you must know that the nobleman is not a matter of care, so the butler opened a more reasonable price.

"And what about the people in this manor?" Cook didn't say anything, but it was only two million gold coins, and the land area here was large enough, if there was no war, I am afraid it would be more than that.

"Your Excellency, all the qiē belong to you!" replied the butler by bending down.

"Bagru, give me money!" Cook nodded, the reason why Cook wanted to buy even the slaves was mainly because the current situation was not very clear, after all, no one would have thought that Cook would actually buy and sell the manor here, let alone put any characters here, but if Cook bought another slave, he would accidentally let the enemy get in.

Then Bagru and Luo Cuo began to arrange defenses, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the manor, after all, these are ogres and trolls, and the legend is that they eat people alive.

However, Bagru was obviously very comfortable with this qiē, and after a while, he packed up the rest of the people and obeyed them.

Sia was also taken to the manor, and Sia looked at the manor and couldn't help sighing: "This is at least the architecture of the Van era, look at these carvings, architectural styles." ”

"Huh?" Cook didn't know anything about this, and looked at Cook suspiciously.

"The Van era is the Van Pope 1,500 years ago, and it is the ...... of the Empire of Light. Sia explained to Cook as she pointed as she toured.

Cook listened with relish, and his understanding of the world deepened, but Sia finally sighed: "It's a pity!"

"What's the pity?" asked Cook, puzzled.

"The Bright Empire does not recognize the titles bestowed by the Noble United Council, so your manor is simply violating the rules, and a manor like this requires at least a Marquis of the Bright Empire to live in. Sia replied explainingly.

"Could it be that they're going to demolish me here?" asked Cook angrily.

"Oh, maybe!" replied Sia with a mischievous smile.

While Cook and Sia were chatting, on the other side of the road across the manor, two men were hiding in the attic watching the ogres and trolls who were constantly arranging guards.

The two men are extremely burly, the difference is that one is wearing leather armor, and the other is chain mail, both are men in their thirties, and the one wearing chain mail saw Bagru arranging defenses, and sighed: "These ogres are simply burlier than the bear people among the orcs on the other side, and they are also wearing equipment, and the price of one piece is at least hundreds of thousands." ”

"Baron Cook has money, and he also cooperates with the dwarves, not to mention anything else, 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 man saw that the tall ogre had actually set up a patrol, and the trolls had begun to stand guard.

"That's true, but did you say that this guy found something, why did he come to buy a house, and now we have to attack it?" The man in the chain mail asked with some incredulity after looking at the people and equipment that Bagru and Luo Cuo had brought with him.

"Whatever, we're just in charge of intelligence gathering. The leather-clad man was carefully recording what he was doing in a sheepskin, and he drew a rough picture of the shape of the manor that Cook had bought.

It was hours before the two left, and Cook had no idea that his movements were known, but Cook could probably guess that someone was following him.

"Cook, how about we leave for a while?" Sia was very worried, after all, someone was unfavorable to Cook, and he was afraid of 10,000 in case, although Cook was strong, but Cook was not invincible.

West Asia, who has lived for hundreds of years, knows more things than Cook, and there is no shortage of outlaws in this world, and some of them are of a very high level.

"Hehe, no need, I have a way. Cook smiled.

"What's the solution, let's just not come here. Sia asked angrily.

Cook put his arm around Sia, looked at the already fruitful grapes in the manor, and explained with a sigh: "Sia, it's not that I want to come, but I have to come, if millions of orcs will go, then the Mekay Empire will be in danger, what we need is time, as for the assassination, I think no one will do it until the orc empire is solved." ”

"How so?" asked Sia, confused.

"Haha, because I brought something!" Cook said with a laugh.

"You're going to give them something?" Sia asked, looking at Cook in disbelief.

"Of course, in order for these guys to be able to hold back those orcs, I don't have something to show them, they don't have the confidence to fight with the orcs. Cook didn't want either.

But this is already one of the best ways in front of Cook, if you want the Orc Empire coalition to dare not withdraw, then only the bargaining chips on the side of strengthening the human coalition army, and the other thing is to prevent the orc coalition from jumping over the wall to capture the Scarlet Fortress, but it can't make the combat effectiveness of the human coalition too strong, so as not to hurt the orcs, so Cook must come in person to grasp this degree.

Sia then thought about it and understood Cook's thoughts, but Sia still said worriedly: "Cook, don't be too confident, sometimes the enemy just wants to take it by surprise, and the dirt between those nobles is not something you can know." ”

"Don't worry, I know. Cook didn't tell Sia that he already knew that it might be those people, and without enough evidence, Cook didn't plan to turn his face.

"Alright, it's time for us to check out the legendary Scarlet Fortress. Cook stood up and said to Sia.

Bagru soon followed Cook with two hundred men to the Scarlet Fortress, which could be seen from afar, the Scarlet Fortress had a fifty-meter-high wall, all made of tons of boulders, and the Scarlet Fortress was about a hundred kilometers long, reaching the Natal Mountains on one side and extending directly to the edge of the cliff near the sea.

And between the walls of the fortress and the city behind it, there was a martial law area of several kilometers, this area was not martial law in normal times, in the event of war, martial law was imposed and there were patrols.

To put it bluntly, the Scarlet Fortress is a city wall more than 100 kilometers long, and on the Scarlet Fortress, there is no so-called city gate at all, all of them are sealed.

"Majestic!" Cook saw the Scarlet Fortress up close, and there were only two words to describe it, fifty meters tall was about the height of a 20-story building.

"Your Excellency, please!" Accompanying Cook was a commander of the Scarlet Fortress and a knight of the Empire of Light, who was tasked with leading Cook on a tour of the fortress.

Cook stepped on the blue-black rocks under his feet, caressed the thick wooden railing in his hands, and climbed the staircase, which was inside the city wall, and there were two arm-thick fences in the middle, which were guarded by soldiers.

"Your Excellency, if the walls are lost, we can lock up this place and block the enemy's attack. The commander explained.

Cook nodded, this move is very powerful, the thick fence blocks the stairs up and down, the height of fifty meters is not very high, but without clearing the enemies in the fortress, he blindly marched into the interior of the Empire of Light, which is obviously not a wise decision.

When Cook stood on the city wall, he couldn't help but be stunned, this is at least thirty or forty meters wide, almost enough to accommodate many carriages to move forward, and there are countless towers of arrows and watchtowers standing tall.

Crystal cannons, giant crossbows, trebuchets, this thing on the blood fortress is densely placed there, and there are soldiers patrolling on horseback from time to time, and there is a high wall every kilometer on the wall, with a gate in the middle, apparently to isolate the city wall in case it is breached, and there are also a large number of soldiers guarding it.

"Your Excellency, welcome!" Cook finally arrived at the headquarters, a general welcomed Cook, located in the middle of the city wall a huge fortress-like structure, such fortresses are full of twenty, almost every few kilometers, each fortress can station 100,000 troops, plus the space inside the city wall, the maximum can be stationed 5 million troops.

It can't help but be so, behind the fortress can still accommodate millions of people, as well as a large construction base, a smelting field, and the entire Scarlet Fortress is a huge war machine.

"Your Excellency, this brown earth is watered by blood. Cook looked at the brown ground in front of the fortress, there was not a single plant at all, and the ground was covered with brown dirt, the general next to him explained.

"Is that the orc camp?" asked Cook, looking vaguely at the tents of different colors more than a dozen kilometers away.

"Yes, it's the beast camp!" the general nodded, the fortress was a hundred meters high, and there were not only powerful magic crystal cannons in the fortress, 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 fort, Cook saw the flat top of the fort, where there were ten magic giant crossbows, and there were many guards, explained the general next to him.

"Hehe, it's not safe here. Cook said with a laugh.

The general's face next to him was suddenly ugly, Cook was telling the truth, but this thing was not under the control of the general, but under the jurisdiction of a new department, which was forgotten, but the general was responsible for the guard, so the general's face was very ugly.

"General, I have come to bring you a batch of equipment this time, and I hope you can hold the fortress. Cook was surprised by the general's reaction, but the general did not explain, and Cook said politely again.
