"Knock knock!" The short and rapid sound of drums resounded throughout the fortress.

Huge crossbows were dragged out of the hidden fortifications by horses, and one by one the magic crystal cannons were unwrapped around the cannon jackets, and one box after another was carried up.

After the box was opened, there were pieces of magic crystals wrapped in animal skins, and the magic crystals were strictly placed in front of each magic crystal cannon, and the mages of the mage group began to inlay the magic cores.

In the Scarlet Fortress, the mage regiment is a separate group of mages, not controlled by Marco, the commander-in-chief, and there are heavily armed knights standing around each mage.

Cook glanced at the mage group and was not interested, it was just some mid-level and low-level magicians, obviously these magicians were only used to control the magic crystal cannon, and they didn't need to release too much attack magic at all.

A faint magical glow had already appeared on the magic crystal cannon, and it was obvious that it was already gathering magical elements.

Cook took a rough look, the arrangement of the Scarlet Fortress was divided into several levels, the entire Scarlet Fortress was divided by dozens of fortresses, the distance between the two fortresses was only a thousand meters, on the wall of this kilometer, there was a legion of pikemen, half a legion of archers, as well as shield bearers, spearmen, and thousands of light cavalry, there were nearly 50,000 soldiers on this kilometer of the city wall, not to mention the reserves that had been prepared inside the fortress and inside the city wall.

This is only counting the first layer of defense, the fortress is divided into four layers, the first and second layers are the giant crossbow, the range of the giant crossbow is 2 kilometers, but the most lethal is within a thousand meters, the giant crossbow on the two layers of each fortress can rotate the direction, once a section of the city wall is breached, then not only have to face the light cavalry on the city wall, but also face the tools of the giant crossbow.

The third is the magic crystal cannon on the top of the fortress, which is the real killing weapon, and it will only be used when it is critical.

The rapid drum beat made all the soldiers a little irritable, although it was not the first battle with the Orc Empire, but the corpses of the people who died each time were hundreds of thousands, and everyone did not know if they would be able to see the sun tomorrow next.

But as a soldier, you have to face it, Cook finally saw the gap between the soldiers, and the first to react, ready is the native army of the Empire of Light, these giants of the Empire of Light not only did not have a panicked look on their faces, but there was a fanatical thing, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, and their eyes carefully observing the actions of the soldiers of the Orc Empire.

"Faith is good sometimes. Cook couldn't help but sigh, the Empire of Light is a religious country, if possible, these fanatical Imperial soldiers will not hesitate to die.

And the rest of the panicked are the combined legions of several major empires around the Empire of Light, which seem to have never experienced war, and have not even reached their respective defensive positions.

Cook couldn't help but ask, "What are these guys doing?"

"Who are you?" asked a man who was casually pulled by Cook's hand and looked like an official, who knew but was asked vigilantly.

"Now is not the time to ask me, but to say that your current defenses are flawed!" Cook pointed to the defensive formations that were not yet fully organized.

"Damn, that bunch of garbage!" the man asked by Cook was in the defensive position where Cook was standing, and you should know that there were 50,000 people piled up at a distance of a thousand meters, and the density could be imagined.

However, the defending soldiers were divided into several formations, and the cavalry was not in the middle of the two fortresses, but inside the fortresses, because the cavalry needed distance to charge.

However, the ranks of soldiers on the walls need to be commanded by the commander, pikemen, shieldmen, and spearmen, archers, and crossbowmen all need to be used flexibly according to the enemy's situation.

Generally the first to start is the archers, the archers use longbows, the longest range, then the crossbowmen, and finally the pikemen, and if the enemy attacks the wall, then the shield bearer should be dispatched, if the shield bearer is not good, then the cavalry charge.

The enemy also had to face the attack of the giant crossbow on the fortress, so the Scarlet Fortress was almost an impenetrable fortress.

"No way, the commander-in-chief is not here, and those guys are not soldiers of the fortress. The soldier who was asked by Cook smiled helplessly.

"Hmph, I don't want these guys, but it will drag down the fortress's defenses." Cook also knows that if the cooperation is not good, it is better not to use it, and he is not afraid of god-like opponents and pig-like teammates.

Cook immediately came to his senses after speaking, the commander-in-chief was not in the fortress at this time, didn't this give the enemy a chance?

"Woooooooo

Cook led eight hundred ogres, eight hundred trolls dangling on the city wall, and anyone who saw Cook's group had to avoid three points, because the ogre led by Cook was too tall, almost three meters five in height, that is to say, nearly two stories high, and was also wearing fine iron plate armor, as for the weapons, needless to say, all heavy weapons, and Bagru was holding the ghost slaying sword given by Cook, a big guy of six meters and five, looking like a huge door panel, and the fine iron throwing spear behind the troll and the two green fangs exposed outside the mask were terrifying。

"What is this!" Cook had already swayed a distance of several kilometers on the city walls, not only was there a few fortresses safely, but no one had come to ask who he was during this time, and there was no shadow of the Warlords, such a military fortress should be very strict, but now it was full of loopholes.

"Alright, here we are. Cook looked left and right, and the soldiers on this section of the wall were panicked, and some of the archers were sitting on the wall, not daring to lift their heads, and their faces were pale.

Cook shook his head disdainfully, although the soldiers of the Orc Empire were black and overwhelming, and there were dozens of meters high siege equipment, but the orcs were at least two kilometers away from the city wall, and in the Orc Empire, there were very few long-range attacks from such a distance, and they were obviously frightened by the momentum of the orcs.

"Bang, get up!" Cook kicked a timid guy angrily.

"You, what are you, you ....... What Cook didn't expect was that this guy actually yelled at himself.

"Bang!" Bagru directly picked up this guy and dropped the city wall, you must know that this city wall is dozens of meters high.

"Whoever the hell will try again!" the rest of the soldiers were about to attack, and Bagru yelled viciously.

"Damn!" the fellows exclaimed timidly as they looked up at Bagru's two heads.

Two-headed ogres, in the legend, ogres are all short-tempered, fierce humanoid races, and it is certainly not a good thing to tame a two-headed ogre as a guard.

"Stand up for Lao Tzu, longbowman, stand up!" Cook yelled angrily, because if these guys resisted, it would prove that they still had blood, but these guys didn't dare to resist at all, you must know that there are 50,000 people in this section of the wall, and he only has more than 1,000 people.

"Boom, boom!" When the orcs were only two kilometers away from the Scarlet Fortress, the orc soldiers slammed their shields with their weapons, making a heaven-shattering sound, and thousands of siege equipment broke away from the soldiers' phalanx.

"What kind of siege equipment are these?" asked Cook to one of the legion commanders beside him.

"This lord, the kind of siege towers that stick out high is about the same height as our city walls, and they are made of iron and wood, and they are covered with animal skins, and the animal skins are also soaked in water, not afraid of fire, not afraid of the shooting of bows and crossbows, as long as those siege towers are close to the city walls, the upper part of the baffle is lowered, forming the appearance of a bridge, and the soldiers of the Orc Empire enter from under the siege towers, and then come up from the inside, and go straight to the city wall. The corps commander explained.

"How do you destroy it?" Cook couldn't help but ask, hearing this.

"There is a magic crystal cannon, but it is not easy to reach the city wall, and the hundred-meter-wide moat is directly connected to the ocean, and it is filled with seawater ....... The Legion Commander explained again.

"How deep is this connected to the ocean?" Cook was surprised, then looked down and saw that it was indeed a canyon-like abyss, and there were puffs of fog in it.

"It's not deep, more than five hundred meters deep, and it's full of vicious sea monsters down here. The Legion Commander said this with some excitement.

"Well, then those long bridges are the tools they're going to use against the moat. Cook pointed to the more than 100-meter-long siege tool made of planks more than a foot thick, like the deck of a bridge.

"Hmm!" the Legion Commander nodded.

"Woooooooo

"Knock knock!" The five-meter-tall giants walked out of the orc empire's phalanx, making a thumping sound with every step.

"What race is this?" asked Cook, confused, because Cook really didn't know these people.

"Mountain Giant, this time it's troublesome, the Orc Empire actually let the Mountain Giant participate in the attack. The Legion Commander, who had explained to Cook, muttered to himself with a pale face.

"The mountain giants have ...... Bang!" Cook was wondering what was so terrible about this mountain giant, but he didn't know that an earthy yellow boulder flew nearly two thousand distances and smashed directly on the city wall.

"Ah!!h

"Rely on ....... Cook was stunned, this mountain giant was much more powerful than his trebuchet, two thousand meters, this is it.

"Mountain Giants are earth-based elemental humanoids. The Legion Commander lowered his head, his eyes fixed in the direction of the Mountain Giant.

"Woooo

"Centaurs, centaur archers!" a series of hurried shouts rang out, and the shield-bearers raised their shields one after another.

"Centaurs?" Cook had heard of this race, as if it were a rare race in the Orc Empire.

Cook carefully looked at the phalanx of orc soldiers two kilometers away, and finally found the body of a centaur, but the lower body was the four hooves and body of a horse, and a horse's tail flicked around.

"Woo woo woo!" the horns sounded again, and the orc soldiers actually let out of the passages one by one.

"Whoa!" A burst of roars sounded, and then from the rear of the Orc Empire came out of the seven or eight meter-tall gorilla-like big guys, the tallest of which was actually more than ten meters.

"Beamon, Beamon, the orcs must have fought so hard that they actually dispatched Beamon!" the legion next to Cook was terrified.

"Beamon!" Cook also had a gloomy face.

Beamon, this is a race that can fight with dragons in the orc empire, Beamon's claws are a meter long, indestructible, even the dragon's defenses will be torn apart, Cook pointed at the city wall.

Because the strength displayed by the Orc Empire was too strong, the powerful Docok didn't dare to imagine what impact these rare races would have on the Mekay Empire if they returned to the Empire.

"Golden Beamon, Silver Beamon, the Orc Empire is so bold!" Cook looked at the three Golden Beamon, the Golden Beamon's figure was one-third smaller than the Silver Beamon, and the Silver Beamon was ten meters tall, and the Gold Beamon was only seven or eight meters tall.

But Cook knew that the five-headed Silver Beamon was no match for the Golden Beamon, and a total of eleven Beamon stood in front of the orc legion, slapping his chest fiercely.

At this time, there was silence on the walls of the Scarlet Fortress, and no one even dared to breathe in the atmosphere, obviously shocked by the momentum of the Orc Empire.

"Knock, knock, knock!" What's even more strange is that inside the orc legion, a drum beat is heard.

"Priest?" said Cook, who heard the drumming and felt familiar, and then realized that this was the war dance of the priesthood.

At the rear of the orc legion, priests wearing priest robes and sitting on their own demon pets slowly appeared, but the difference was that the demon pet of the leading priest was actually twelve meters high.

"War Behemoth!" Cook was also surprised, this kind of thing is not a product of this plane, but similar to a star beast, a star beast is a magical beast that lives in the starry sky.

Even if it is a super-level demonic beast, even a ninth-level demonic beast is not necessarily the opponent of this guy, and this twelve-meter-tall giant beast walks upright, with brown fur all over its body, and two huge horns on a big head, and there is a blue electric light on the horns, which is obviously an extremely rare Comodo war beast.

But Cook's eyes were not on the war beast, but on a blood-red drum on the back of the war beast, the diameter of which was more than three meters wide, and a figure was constantly writhing on the blood-red drum.

"Hehe, I can actually see this thing, and I think I like it when I come to Ume. Cook smiled, for Cook had decided to give the blood-red drum to Ume.

"Alert, alert, alert!" At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed over the city wall, shouting loudly.

"Has General Mark finally returned?" Cook glanced at the highest fort, on which Mark was standing.
