Chapter 476: The Wind Rises
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The whole city was in a panic, but the panic only lasted for about half an hour, and after half an hour, the whole city was silent, except for the deafening sound of horses' hooves and the sound of metal clashing.
"Who is it?" the guards guarding the door of Count Noldor's mansion looked at the menacing heavy cavalry, and shouted loudly, but the trembling legs betrayed the current mood.
The cavalry of the Scarlet Fortress of the Bright Empire is the best cavalry in the continental chapter, there is no one, the average annual consumption of 20,000 people has reached nearly 100 million gold coins, maybe only the Guards Knights of the major empires can compete, but the Guards Knights are generally only two brigades of two thousand people.
And here, there are 20,000 people, a complete set of black and swarthy fine iron armor, the whole horse except for four hooves and eyes are shrouded in leather inlaid with armor leaves, the weight of the whole set of equipment exceeds 1,000 catties, plus the equipment on the knight and the knight, the overall weight exceeds 2,000 catties, that is, one ton.
This kind of weight is very demanding for the requirements of the mount, the horses used by the 20,000 heavy cavalry are not ordinary beasts, but monsters, the name is scale horses, because these horses have some fish scales on their four legs, but the level of scale horses is not high, generally one to two levels, and three levels are very rare.
However, the scaly horses are invincible in the wild, because there is only one colony of the entire scaly horses, and there are more than a million scaly horses living in the wasteland west of the orc empire, but fortunately, the scaly horses eat grass.
But the scale horse has two skills, one is to bite, the other is to kick, it is said that in the extreme western wasteland west of the orc empire, most of the life is herbivorous demonic beasts, and carnivorous demonic beasts dare not appear at all, only a small number of high-level demonic beasts dare to appear.
The Empire of Light spent a lot of strength to cultivate a population of scale horses, and scale horses also have an advantage, as long as there is a leading scale horse charge, all scale horses will charge without hesitation, and if it is not good, it is blind obedience, but this advantage is very useful on the battlefield, because it will not worry about being scattered.
"Boom!" the guards' roars didn't help, and the solid wooden gate was directly broken through by the galloping heavy cavalry.
It was accompanied by the screams of the guards: "Ahh
Hundreds of heavily armored cavalry rushed directly into the mansion of Count Noldor, and Marco ordered loudly: "Give me a careful search, don't let go of any place!"
"Boom!" a cavalryman flew out upside down, there was no way, the heavy cavalry division charged, and the search had to dismount, and dismounted became a heavy infantry.
"Who are you?" the two guards in full plate armor stepped out, their two-handed swords glare in the sunlight, apparently made of white iron.
"Hmph, who are you who dare to stop us?" Marco shouted with a narrowing of his eyes, because Marco was also a mid-level warrior.
The army is not like other places, as a general, the first consideration is leadership ability, not personal ability, because no matter how strong a person's individual combat strength is, it is impossible to play a decisive role in the entire campaign.
From the day the army was born, it was the team that decided the final victory, and of course there were some typical, which can be said to be negligible in the number of battles in the entire campaign.
Of course, Marco relied on the behind-the-scenes planning of Rose and others, but the commanders of the two cavalry regiments were not middle-level soldiers, but high-level soldiers, and they were the kind of people who had both leadership ability and very high combat effectiveness.
This is also Marco's biggest point, he knows his own ability, Marco will not reuse those guys who can only pat on the back, they use those who have real skills, which is also the biggest reason why Ma may become the commander of the fortress and was chosen by Rose and others.
If Marco himself is not capable, and he is also incapable of reuse, then Ross and the others will not support it at all, after all, the entire fortress is related to the safety of the empire.
The two commanders of the cavalry regiment with Marco by his side, so his heart is not false at all, although it is said that the two guards of the Count of Noldor are strong in martial arts, but in Marco's opinion, it is the same thing, he has 20,000 heavy armored cavalry, not to mention the two escort commanders, even if it is a dozen, it is only a part of the rest.
The two guards of Earl Noldor's palace had gloomy faces, because those heavily armored cavalrymen actually ignored the two of them and rushed directly into the house, and one by one the servants, maids, and Count Noldor's family were driven out one by one, and then there was a special person to count and check.
"Our lord is Count Noldor!" the two Captains of the Guards said in a cold voice again.
"Hehe, it's him!" Marco said with a gritted gritted grit.
The Inquisition is a terrifying existence in the Empire, but it also depends on whether the person is or not, if it is the deacon of the Inquisition, Marco may still be a little afraid, but Noldor is just the head of a branch of the Northeast Province.
Of course, Ross and Wykegerdy also went back to use their respective relationships, so Marco was not afraid, not to mention that Marco had a good reason, the entire war warehouse was burned down, and the director of the Inquisition must be responsible.
The Inquisition is actually the equivalent of the internal guard, responsible for eliminating traitors from within the Holy See, so isn't it a traitor who can burn down the war storehouse?
Of course, Marco is not just looking for trouble, Marco also realizes that if someone takes the blame, the previous things will disappear, and the previous things are not something that a small miscellaneous fish can be a scapegoat.
"Who is your lordship?" the two guard commanders asked in a deep voice, looking at Marco covered in armor.
"You don't have the right to know who I am, come on, arrest these two guys for me ...... too. Marco commanded with a wave of his hand.
"Report ....... A long shout interrupted Marco's words.
"Report to the general, we have been attacked. A herald reported loudly.
"Who are you?" asked Marco, a little unpleasantly.
"It's the Inquisition and the Knights Templar. The herald continued to report.
"The first brigade of the first regiment, arrest all the people here for me, take care of it, and follow the rest. Marco was a little angry, if it was just the Inquisition, Marco would just wave his hand and let people kill him, but the Knights Templar was different.
The Knights of the Templar are thugs of the Holy See, on the surface, if a bad word is not good, it will cause a big problem, Marco secretly complained while going to the place of the accident: "Isn't this Archbishop of Ross unable to control his subordinates?"
Cook didn't know exactly what was going on in the city, Cook slept after Wwickgerdy was kicked out, but he still didn't get any attack after waking up, so Cook wondered, so Cook decided to take the initiative and find out why General Mark didn't act.
Cook has enough people this time, 800 ogre knights, 800 monster knights, and the momentum of the previous 600 people is greater than that of the 10,000-person army.
Some pedestrians on the road saw this team and avoided it from a distance, a full set of fine iron plate armor, all intermediate or above magical beasts, which made people think it was the mercenary group.
It's not to blame others, it's just to blame these mounts for all sorts of things, such as fire bulls, earth lizards, stone turtles, jungle pythons, wind pigs, fire bears, golden tigers and other monsters, all kinds of strange things.
This is actually not to blame Cook, when Bagru was in charge of guarding the magic metal mine, Bagru himself led people to capture the mounts, the mounts of 5,000 people, all the intermediate mounts, all of which were captured from the Natal Mountains.
Although it is said that the intermediate Warcraft is very strong, but what is the ogre, it is also equivalent to the Warcraft, when the ogre is organized, planned, and equipped, and there are more and more mounts, not to mention a single lone Warcraft, even if it is a smaller group of Warcraft, it can only be caught alive.
As for signing the contract, with the dragon Philisteman here, Shun Lì didn't know what to do, and even some of the humans recruited by Cook, the ones brought by Murphy, all had mounts.
So the Ogre Knights Cook didn't have many mounts at all, most of them were caught by themselves, I have to say that when the ogre put on a full set of armor, the combat power rose not a matter of a grade, plus the intermediate Warcraft mount, this combat power is like riding a rocket.
As for the high-level demonic beasts within thousands of kilometers around the magic metal mine operated by Cook in the future, they will not be allowed to flee to other places, and the middle-level demonic beasts will run away, of course, like groups of wurm demonic beasts, Bagru still dare not provoke.
So the ogre cavalry regiment under Cook is simply a living textbook of Warcraft, there are all kinds of Warcraft, reptiles, crustaceans, scales, fire bulls as big as several meters high, jungle pythons as low as one and a half meters high, pedestrians on the entire road, and the convoy had to be avoided from afar.
Cook bypassed the city this time, because it was too troublesome to enter the city, especially with so many subordinates, Cook almost didn't go in last time, and finally tossed for a long time to get in.
"What, not there?" Cook was depressed, Marco was not there, and Cook had no right to enter the fortress.
"Yes, my lord!" the captain of the guard was cautious, because the pressure from the ogre and troll knights behind Cook was too great, and if anyone else asked, the captain would at least be arrested first, and then convicted of being a spy, and then of course extortion, but this captain also watched people cook.
Just in the beast camp opposite the Scarlet Fortress, an emergency meeting has just ended, due to the riot in the territory of the bears and the minotaurs, the two races agreed to Doras's mention at the meeting, the guys of these two races have long wanted to go back, after all, the territory is the key to survival, as for the other pigmen of the Pigs or something, it will not be a climate, the biggest in the main battle race is the werewolf, the minotaur, the bear, the Pig, the werewolf ran away, under the mention of the royal family, the minotaur, the bearman agreed, and the rest of course had no objections。
"Woo woo!" Now that the meeting has been decided, the next step is to act, the horn of emergency assembly has been sounded, the bear people, the minotaur gather the fastest, rumors are flying all over the sky, the hearts of these guys have already flown back, but they dare not run away because of the righteousness of the holy war.
And what about the temple, the werewolf priest has been lost, the fox priest doesn't know what's going on, and he actually doesn't open his mouth, and the rest of the family, the swan man, the eagle man, the butterfly man, these priests and the lion man, the tiger man, and the leopard man are not at the same level at all, so the meeting will be easy to pass.
"Not good, the orcs are gathering their ranks. Cook heard the muffled sound of the horn from afar, Cook had been fighting in the Orc Empire for more than half a year, and he had long known what the horn meant.
"Don't worry, my lord, those guys blew up last night. The captain of the guard said impatiently, in the eyes of this captain, this guy in front of him is purely full.
"Knock knock!" Just as the captain's voice had just landed, a rapid drum beat came from the fortress, and the captain's face immediately changed, leaving Cook and running, shouting loudly as he ran: "Assemble, assemble, the orcs are attacking!"
This chapter is a bit verbose, explaining some of the social frameworks, and originally wrote about the meeting process in the orcs according to the outline, but then gave up, after all, the orcs have little to do with Cook, and I wrote that Cook wants to defeat the orc royal family head-on, so he will ignore the contradictions between the orcs.
