In the process of marching, Ryan and Alendor also encountered a very coincidental thing, that is, when they met Casper, the leader of the orc wolf cavalry squad, although he did not understand the purpose of Ryan and Allendo, he still divided his wolf cavalry squad into more than a dozen groups, and sent them to each of the orc camps to report the news, and at the same time personally led people back to the beast blood castle, ready to report all this to the beast emperor.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or something, but the wolf cavalry led by Casper actually blocked Ryan and Allendo's path when they camped at night. This is the second time that Ryan and the orcs have been so close, but this time the ending is diametrically opposite to the last time, Ryan and Alendor discussed, they felt that this small group of wolf cavalry went all the way north, maybe there was something important, and it was late at night, the sky was dark, Casper and they were in a hurry again, and they didn't notice that a few hundred meters away from their camping place was where Ryan and Allendo were hiding, but once it was bright tomorrow, then they would have nowhere to hide, rather than rushing overnight at night, it was better to kill them all directly.

The plan was set, and Ryan and Alendor went their separate ways. Although Casper has a lot of people on his side, this numerical advantage is useless when facing a druid and a mage at night, plus a tough novice. Alendor and White easily took out the night patrol sentinels, allowing Ryan to prepare for the magic in a good time.

Perhaps it was the instinct of a warrior, Casper suddenly woke up from his dream, but after a few shouts, he did not hear the response of the sentinels on the periphery, only saw a bright red fireball in the dark night sky. The brilliant magical flames of the night take Casper's life, and also allow Ryan and Alendor to inadvertently eliminate a big hidden danger. Although Casper's subordinates notified the various orc camps, the locations of those camps were on the front line, in other words, at this moment, the beast blood castle did not know that several uninvited guests had arrived.

At this time, in the Beast Blood Castle, the Beast Emperor Andreas and the Prophet Evan were reorganizing the orc army.

Under the orders of the Beast Emperor, the various clans of the orcs had to recruit their people to rush to the Beast Blood Castle, but these clans were all over the North Talon Prairie, and it would take time for them to reach the Beast Blood Castle, which was also a matter of no choice. After most of them had made the long journey to the Beast Blood Fortress, they had to take the necessary rest, otherwise the elite troops of the various clans might still be able to fight, but the old and sick who had been temporarily conscripted could not even walk.

The strength of the armies of the orc clans is uneven, some clans have a large population, and the army is naturally stronger, while some entire clans are only a few thousand people, so the army is of no use at all. The Beast Emperor Andreas and the Prophet Evan knew that the best way to get the most out of the orcs was to reorganize them and put their most elite soldiers together, with the best training and equipment. However, this method is just a thought, and it is impossible for other clans to agree to it anyway, so the prophet Evan proposed a compromise plan, that is, to divide the combat power of the army that reaches the Beast Blood Castle into three grades and provide them with nourishment separately.

According to the plan of the prophet Evan, the most elite troops were given free iron weapons and the best food supplies, while the inferior armies, although they only had obsolete bronze weapons, were much better than wooden sticks and had no problem with food and clothing, while the worst armies were given only the most poor food and the hardest things, such as building camps, keeping vigils, and so on.

As soon as this plan came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and many clan patriarchs who had originally hidden their strength immediately couldn't sit still. Iron weapons are the most desirable thing for every orc warrior. A well-crafted iron weapon far surpasses a bronze weapon in both hardness and sharpness, and an orc army fully equipped with iron weapons can increase its combat effectiveness by at least thirty percent out of thin air. The strength of the army is assessed by the Beast Emperor himself, and once confirmed, iron weapons are immediately mounted and the finest food is enjoyed. And those obsolete weapons are just given to the next level of the army. As for the worst kind? It's just cannon fodder, who cares.

After a few months of busyness, 400,000 elite troops were integrated in the Beast Blood Castle, of which the Beast Emperor's army was almost 200,000. The other clans looked at the well-trained soldiers under the Beast Emperor, especially the Mammoth Legion who saw Thunder, Ben's Beamon Legion, and the Beast Emperor's most elite Blood Guard, and they all put away the idea of resisting. Although the mammoth army was only 5,000 chariots, it could easily crush everything in front of it when it drove across the plains, and no one wanted to face it. Ben's Beamon was a force of 20,000 men with 5,000 crossbowmen, 5,000 spearmen, 5,000 hoplites, and 5,000 pikemen. Their strongest strength lies in the weapons they are equipped with, all of which are of the best iron weapons, especially the five thousand hoplites, who are not only shrouded in full-body armor, but also hold an all-iron shield more than a man high, covered with sharp fangs, and carved with the pattern of a Behemoth. In battle, these 5,000 shields will be an impassable barrier for the enemy, and behind this barrier, crossbowmen can attack from afar, spears at close range, and 5,000 three-meter-long spears if the enemy attacks closely.

Although this rectification inevitably made some orcs complain, since their strength was rated as the worst, they naturally had no right to speak. Those orc armies who have enjoyed the benefits, although they will still firmly obey the orders of their patriarch, but they will more or less have a good impression of the Beast Emperor in their hearts, after all, it is the order of the Beast Emperor that allows them to have weapons and food that match the warriors.

This time, the Brute Bear Clan provided a large number of iron weapons, which would not have been possible if they had been smuggled by sea alone. In fact, as early as a few years ago, the Beast Emperor had a connection with Senat, and spent a lot of money to purchase smelting and casting methods from the latter. Then the Beast Emperor bribed some human merchants and let them smuggle a large amount of ore for himself. More than seventy percent of the iron ore produced in the mountains of the northwest of the Human Empire was secretly transported to Sunrise City, and then transported by sea to the only port in the North Tarren Prairie, Mountain Cliff Fort, and then transported to the Beast Blood Fortress, where it was smelted by orc craftsmen and made into various weapons.

This is also the reason why the Beast Emperor sent a large number of wolf cavalry to block the intelligence network of the Thor Fortress, if the Thor Fortress perceives in advance that it is making weapons on a large scale, I am afraid that it will make humans have defense, and at that time the main force of the Orcs is not in the east, but in the west of the prairie to suppress various clans, if the garrison of the Thor Fortress takes a risk and raids the Beast Blood Fortress, not only the weapons cannot be made, but even the food stored there will be destroyed, without weapons and food, what is there to talk about capturing the Thor Fortress.

Now, after years of preparation, the Beast Emperor and the Prophet felt that the time had come, so they issued an order for a full-scale war, and took advantage of this opportunity to fully understand the combat effectiveness of other clans, and provided a detailed list of personnel for the configuration of weapons and food, which also disguised the Beast Emperor mastered the situation of the elite armies of other clans, and was not afraid that they would be perfunctory after they arrived at the Thor Fortress.

The patriarchs of the other clans also took this opportunity to expand the strength of their subordinates, and it seemed that everyone was benefited. However, the patriarch of the Giant Serpent Clan still complained to the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan behind his back: "A little food and weapons, plus the title of an orc warrior will make our warriors desperate, but no one can resist such a temptation, and the prophet Evan is really insidious enough." ”

Ryan and Alendor scouted cautiously on the periphery of the Beast Blood Castle, and after they discussed, they felt that they still used the feelings they got from the human army to judge the combat effectiveness of the orc army, such as from the mental state of the orc soldiers, physical condition, and weapon and equipment configuration, Ryan and Alendor still saw some differences more or less. The best-equipped and most combat-ready army naturally lived in the Beast Blood Castle, and with the thick stone walls and those sturdy buildings to protect them from the wind and rain, these soldiers could rest well, while there were some old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers who lived in makeshift tents outside the Beast Blood Castle, and their food seemed to be poor......

The information gathered by Ryan and Allendo completely confirmed that the orcs were not a complete group, and that they were divided into many tribes, among which the elite units were quite powerful and equipped with more equipment than the average human soldier, while some of the troops were improvised and were either old or underage and barely combatable. This made Ryan and Allendo feel a lot more relieved, if one-fifth of the orcs claimed 500,000 troops were like this, then the pressure on Thor's fortress should be much less.

Unfortunately, Ryan and Allendo are not professionally trained scouts, and they have no idea what information is more important, and naturally they don't know what details to gather. So Ryan and Alendor observed the periphery of the Beast Blood Castle for a few days, and although they collected a lot of important information, they ignored the most important one. That is the obvious situation that the number of orc troops stationed in the Beast Blood Fort far exceeds half a million.

In addition to these, Ryan and Elendor also found a caravan coming to the Beast Blood Citadel from the east. The caravan was full of orcs, and the things they were transporting were tightly wrapped, but Ryan and Alendor picked up a small mouthful of stone from the way they passed, and after careful identification, it seemed to be iron ore, which indicated that the weapons used by the orcs were probably produced by the orcs after mastering the smelting and forging technology.
