Chapter 87: The Twin Towers
Eastern routes.
Three ocean-going cargo ships appeared in front of them, and the sailors on the deck could be faintly seen, but because of the distance, they were all small black dots. The half-elf first mate took down the delicate monocular with a cruel smile, and then gestured behind him, and immediately the offshore clipper was put down. Most pirate ships are fast, and clippers have narrow hulls that don't hold much, but they can be useful for intercepting cargo ships.
"Get over there!"
The expression of the half-elf chief officer was a little excited, and he said in a deep voice: "Gunner prepare!" Catch up with the paddle boat! Others are ready to board the ship! ”
Ever since he got the information about the Eastern Voyage and had the exact news, the first mate of the Half-Elves has been preparing to rob them. Leaving aside the other goods on board, the craftsmen from the East alone are very important. These are all the manpower needed by His Excellency the Throat Slitter, and the half-elf first mate has been recruiting for a long time in Tyro Harbor, the City of Fortune, and the Shipwreck Bay, but he still has not been able to find first-class craftsmen. He had heard that the woman Adele Isabella had gone on another assignment assigned by Her Excellency the Throat Slitter.
As the first mate of the half-elves who has always been interested in becoming the number one fighter under Sauron's command, he naturally hopes that his ability to complete tasks can be higher than that of the red-haired female pirate.
In order to succeed in taking down the other party, he mobilized the elites of Port Taylor, Shipwreck Bay and Viper Island at the same time.
Sauron took some of the pirate elite with him, but some remained.
"Want to run?"
The ocean-going cargo ship in front of it obviously noticed that something was wrong, and seemed to want to escape around it, and the half-elf first mate showed a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Where can you run to this sea?" This south coast is the territory of His Excellency the Throat Cutter, and it is useless for you to run to the ends of the earth! ”
"Someone!"
"Raise the black flag! Get ready for battle! ”
A black flag was hoisted, the pirates shouted excitedly, and the distant cargo ships were visibly flustered, but rather calmly began to set up. This made the half-elf first mate a little surprised, considering that their number was much higher than that of the other party. But it doesn't matter, Sauron's men have grown significantly recently, and there are more and more pirates who want to join in, and there are nearly a thousand people near the sunken bay, and a small number of casualties and losses are within the range of bearing.
After all, the world is different, and most of the pirates are low-level professionals.
Otherwise, according to the standards of Sauron's previous life, a pirate king like him would be equivalent to a pirate den master who dominates one side, and his minions are tens of thousands of people. One of the representative figures is Zheng Chenggong during the Ming Dynasty, who dominated part of the ocean trade routes. Forcefully use the financial resources of maritime trade to support an army.
………………
Goliath?
Sauron couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
As a former legendary wanderer, he naturally knew how dangerous the Wizard Tower was, not to mention the possibility that it was a remnant of the Arcane Empire. Judging from the location of the Wizard's Tower, Sauron was a little suspicious that this was the work of some arcanist, and the so-called Twin Towers masterpiece was to build two wizard towers at the same time. One is built on the material plane, the other is built on the shadow plane, and the two wizard towers echo each other, and then serve as a passage to connect and open up the dimensional space, and then open the passage to another dimension to develop a half-plane of another dimension.
their final form.
It is the floating fortress at the heart of the legendary twin towers. The two Wizard Towers will be connected at the same time.
Sauron has explored a number of ruins, similar to the Twin Towers that are common in the Arcane Empire, as the Grand Arcanists are very afraid of death and are afraid that someone will use the shadow plane as a springboard to find their weaknesses. Even the shadow plane also built the wizard tower together, they were quite rich anyway.
There is evidence for Sauron's judgment!
Due to the fact that the two wizard towers are in about the same location, and the area of the material plane has a strange energy field, it looks like after the collapse of the wizarding tower on the surface. There are still some ruins underground. This is a sign of the preparation for the establishment of the Floating City, the wizarding towers built in the current era do not develop large areas of underground space, and only the Arcane Empire likes to build a large group of people under the wizarding towers.
If it's really the Wizard's Tower from the Arcane Empire. Then Sauron must be extremely careful!
There is no other reason.
In the wizard tower of the Arcane Empire, the standard battle guard is not the Iron Golem, but the legendary [Magic Energy Golem]!
Actually, Sauron prefers to call them [Magic Mecha]!
The technology of the puppet golem is inherited from the ancient era, this technology has peaks and valleys, the peak period has the Nether era, the Thorsilver age, the Arcane Empire era, etc., and there are quite a lot of low periods, such as the current golem technology. Sauron has fought some rather difficult golem beings in the underwater ruins, so it can be said that he is quite afraid of this.
Simple to understand.
It's just that you take a knife to dismantle a Gundam mecha, and the picture is drunk when you think about it.
"Gloria?"
Sauron looked at Vivien in front of him and nodded slightly, "It would be much easier if I could invite her over." I just don't know if she would like to come to such a remote overseas! ”
Vivien glanced at Sauron when she heard this, and said in a cheerful voice, "Sister Golia is definitely willing to come over." Because my brother is here, I'm here! Besides, if this is really a wizard tower left over from the Arcane Empire, there must be a lot of very precious materials in it, as well as spells from the Arcane Empire, and Sister Goliath must be very eager to obtain this knowledge! ”
It's definitely the best to be able to come.
The Sage Havoc has already begun to brew and ferment, and it won't be long before the plans of the Spider God Queen should have begun to be arranged, she is the first group of gods to descend on the material plane, and soon the drow elves will gradually appear in the eyes of the world. Basically, in Sauron's memory, there was no particularly safe place on the continent, and the territory of the Northland witches was spread by chaos, and was taken advantage of by the demons of the abyss and the devils of hell. If Goliath stays in the Northlands, she may not be safe in the overseas archipelago.
Sauron actually cares about her, maybe he took this opportunity to invite her over!
After all, he can't directly say that the world is going to change greatly, the world is going to collapse, the gods all fall down and fight, the mountains and rivers collapse and the sky collapses, the demon army also kills everywhere, the devils sow discord in all kinds of ways, and finally almost the whole world is about to be shattered. If he said that, he would have thought Gloria had either thought he was crazy or had gone beyond help.
There were very few people Sauron cared about.
Although his bottom line is getting lower and lower, and people are becoming more and more ruthless in his actions, he still hopes to be able to keep the people he cares about by his side, so that he can also protect them when necessary.
