The surviving soldiers of this army found that they were not executed. On the contrary, when they entered the city, they found that the orcs were far more "civilized" than they imagined. There are many ways, and because a group of "loyal subordinates" have been accumulated, Sauron's administrative ability and scope are expanding rapidly.
The captives were divided into grades, and some strong and honest guys were directly beaten into the coolie class and pulled to the "construction site" to continuously repair the city wall or build new defense facilities; "Talents"—such as carpenters, cobblers, blacksmiths, and even experienced farmers—were all assigned various tasks by Sauron, and began to execute them under the supervision of some special personnel.
They continued to forge weapons and armors, and began to speed up the harvesting of grain in the surrounding farmland... Sauron knew the importance of grain to these people. As long as he controlled the army and granary, he could guarantee his absolute protection against the current human beings. dominance.
With the increase in power and successive victories, the warlords were also full of confidence, and their voices for more population and resources were getting louder and louder, but Sauron never agreed with their needs, and firmly took root here. After two laps of scouting, the only thing to do was to build watchtowers, small forts and hoard more food.
And as time passed, Sauron saw all kinds of phantoms in his dreams more and more frequently... Without being reminded by others, Sauron also understood that the unknown existence seemed to be a little impatient. At the same time, he also felt that the strength of his body had finally reached a certain bottleneck, and he no longer continued to grow wildly like before.
But he still didn't take any action, and continued to pay attention to the movement of the magic tower in the southern city, but he remained calm, and it dragged on until mid-November.
Because of its location in the north, the sky above the fortress was already snowflakes at this time. The orcs in the city enjoyed more than two months of peace because no one attacked them, and now they are hiding in warm houses to keep warm—they had a bad time at this time last year. He was forced to die on the road. But this year, everything is better. There is no war, and the orcs enjoy a rare period of peace with enough food and clothing.
But Great Chief Sauron woke up suddenly in the early morning of this day.
A purple halo enveloped his body, and Sauron's body trembled violently. He struggled to raise his arm, and suddenly grasped a string of animal bones placed beside his pillow. After chanting an obscure spell for a while, the layer of purple light suddenly shattered, and Sauron finally breathed heavily Take a breath.
He has inherited many ancient witchcraft from the witch doctor Sarotta, and at the same time he is proficient in the blessing spells of shamans. He has never forgotten to practice and improve in his long-term hard life. Therefore, facing the repeated dreams these days, He has enough concentration to resist.
But today, Sauron has to admit... the guy who has been pestering him in the dream for days seems to suddenly have a stronger influence.
The other party was obviously dissatisfied with his "inaction". In the dream just now, the seductive scenes that had been appearing before completely disappeared, replaced by a boundless dark abyss and a huge and suffocating pupil.
That kind of flame-like power scorched Sauron's soul, making him miserable, and finally woke up after struggling hard.
"So... this is who you really are?"
Sauron stood up and looked out the window at the already gray snow, but looked down at the bracelet, narrowed his eyes, and had no intention of giving in.
Stepping out, he put on a fur cloak, walked straight to the hall, and ordered: "Go and inform all the warlords to come over for a meeting."
But Sauron didn't know at this time that several households living in the fortress were silently guarding the outside of the inner city. When the warlords entered it and soon came out to gather the army, the intelligence agents of the Kingdom of Karen Then he quickly passed the news through the portable magic circle, and began to transmit it to the country thousands of miles away...
When the news reached Houlier City, Rody was standing in front of an orc, frowning and observing him.
Over the past few days, there have been more than a dozen incidents of orcs violently injuring people, but because Rody did not rush to order all the orcs to be executed, among the tens of thousands of orcs, the number of "abnormal" reached nearly a hundred. After being collectively transported to Hollier City, careful research and conclusions did allow the current high-level officials of the kingdom and the dragons to find the law...
"The region of change in muscle strength is smooth, and it seems that this is their limit."
The researcher in a white robe said after finishing the test, while the orc in front of him was struggling like a wild animal in the magic circle that imprisoned him - Rody couldn't see any reason in the eyes of the other party, he was sure that if the orc was released now With the fixation of this guy's limbs, the opponent will definitely attack everyone in front of him without hesitation...
Even if standing around are dragon lords and elders.
This is obviously not the aggression that normal creatures would have, but a state of mind that tends to be crazy-the bloodshot eyes are staring straight at all the moving figures in the room, and the mouth is full of rapid breathing and struggles. Froth rises.
"Most of them are such irrational guys, but they don't have the characteristics of 'demon attack'. According to the test, this should be a problem with the orc blood..."
"However, a small number of orcs with symptoms still maintain their sanity. At the same time, with the protection of the magic circle and the short-term enhancement of mental power through potions, more orcs have regained their minds... For example, the ones here."
Roddy followed the researcher in front of him to another prison. The orc sitting inside looked up and saw the figure in front of him, and stood up in a daze.
"Describe your dream."
The researcher had obviously communicated with the other party, and the latter did not have any rebellious mentality, and stammered at the beginning of the description—the other people present understood Sabine, so they all understood what the other party expressed.
And they were obviously not surprised, they just looked at each other, Krups nodded and said: "From the current situation, we should be on the right path, that's why the other party is in a hurry."
But an elder of the dragon clan said: "Then what about these orcs? We can't guarantee that they will always remain rational."
Having said that, everyone understands that it is time for Roddy to make a decision.
But he frowned, but he didn't make a decision right away. Instead, he pointed out the door: "There is still a study, so we can take a look at it together today and make a decision."
