Most of the south of the bleak tundra is barren mountainous terrain.

This kind of land is not very important even to the demons, they prefer the plains. The Gurumba Arena was built on the flatter part of the mountain, as the Demon Goblins grew from strength to strength due to a nearby mine. But now it all belongs to Sauron, and the only thing that threatens him is the sleeping Abyss Dragon. If no one bothered the abyssal dragon, it would have been asleep for a while, as it was well known that the dragon fell asleep in years.

This abyssal dragon has been asleep for almost two years now.

If it weren't for Sauron's appearance, perhaps it would have slept until the end of the Sage Catastrophe, perhaps it would have been the dragon's luck.

Because the Sage Havoc lasts for a short time for dragons, many dragons have unwittingly escaped the most turbulent period of the multiverse in their sleep.

Barren mountainous terrain naturally has its benefits.

Although there are not as many abyssal worms and cowards as in the plains, these mountains are very rich in minerals, and even open-pit copper and iron ore can be seen. This is a great temptation for the Demons, as they can mine minerals and craft them into weapons to sell to other Demons.

This time, the Demon Lord Covenant nominally assigned one-third of the land of the Forgotten Lands to Sauron.

But in reality, if Sauron wants to control these lands, he must also do something very important, that is, to conquer the other powerful people in this land.

The army of gnolls has retreated for the time being.

Yenogu was not an ignorant reckless man, and after knowing that the demon lords of the third layer of the Abyss had united, he would definitely muster enough forces to attack again. The casualties of the Gnoll alone are still too great, Yenogu is cruel and ruthless to other races, but he is very merciful to the Gnoll, and he will definitely gather the army of the Ghoul King for attrition.

In this way, it gives the other demon lords time to buffer.

The ontology of the material plane is in the process of building the kingdom of God, and it is fortunate that the third wave of shock did not reach the overseas islands, which gives Sauron enough time to develop.

………………

The first stop Sauron chooses to conquer is the Abyssal Blood Pool.

There is a very important place south of the bleak tundra, and that is an abyssal blood pool born in the mountains.

It's a constant stream of troops, labor, consumables, and cannon fodder, and for any Demon Lord, occupying the Abyssal Blood Pool is an important part of the plan. Because it means endless renewable resources, instead of always going out into the wilderness to collect those wandering cowards.

But!

It's not easy to capture the Abyss Blood Pool.

As mentioned earlier, there is a creature called the Mother of Worms, a huge creature with near-demigod abilities that can confront the dragon responsible for guarding the abyssal blood pool.

Zoro came with the Demon Hunter.

Because of the abyssal blood pool, the land here is dark red, and you can see many wandering cowards before you get close, they are all a group of cowards, who dare not wander in the wilderness of the bottomless abyss, they can only wander near the abyssal blood pool, waiting for the worms that accidentally come out, and then pounce on them one by one and eat them all.

The Mother of Worms doesn't allow other demons to get close to the pool of blood, but she won't stop the foolish worms from running out of the abyssal worms within its range.

When Sauron arrived, he saw a group of cowards eating the worms that had escaped, and he didn't hesitate to take them in. The Arena of Gurumba is preparing to mine minerals, and he needs a lot of demonic coolies to mine.

Cowardice is weak.

But it is only equivalent to demons, and for humans, cowardice with more than 12 points of strength is naturally more powerful than that of adult men.

Zizizizi.

Zoro's arrival instantly aroused the vigilance of the Mother of Worms, and with a dull sound, the dense abyss worms nearby dispersed, and the Mother of Worms moved her huge body to appear in front of Zoro.

Rumble!

With a wave of his hand, Zoro motioned for the other high-level demons to step back, and then took a step forward, the body of flames activated, and the whole person was covered in raging fire, this terrible flame made the mother of worms take a step back.

"Me!"

"It's the embodiment of power!"

Zoro unfolded the wide demon wings behind his back, the flaming whip more than ten meters long appeared, and the huge decapitation sword burned with blazing flames, he flew into the air and looked down at the Mother of Worms in front of him, unabashedly his strength, fully displayed the coercion and strength of a demon lord, and roared towards the Mother of Worms: "This is my territory!" ”

"All demons must obey my commands!"

The flames are rushing.

With a flick of his hand, a huge fireball fell from the sky, blasting a huge crater directly beside the Mother of Worms, and roared, "Humble bug! ”

"From today onwards, I will be your master!"

"I will take over this abyssal blood pool and provide a steady stream of troops for my demon army!"

"You must surrender to me!"

"Otherwise! You can only choose death! ”

- [Intimidation]!

As a demon lord, some of the battles on Sauron could have been avoided, as intimidation was enough to take out most of the enemies.

The Mother of Worms was trembling slightly.

It felt a hint of fear in the face of the menacing Sauron, and after a long time, it lowered its head.

Immediately, a row of data appeared in front of Sauron's eyes:

"Intimidation succeeded!"

"You've successfully subdued the Mother of Worms [Legendary Creature]! …… You've gained control of this pool of abyssal blood! …… From now on, the Mother of Worms will not allow demons other than your allegiance to take worms from the Abyssal Blood Pool! ……”

"You have successfully captured the [Abyss Blood Pool]! ……”

………………

The submission of the Mother of Worms unexpectedly caused the pool of abyssal blood to fall into the hands of Sauron.

He slowly descended from the sky, withdrew the raging fire from his body, and walked to the vicinity of the pool of blood.

In front of me was a dense patch of bugs.

These are the basic forms of demons, all demons can evolve from the Abyss Worms, they are the wealth of the bottomless abyss, collect scattered souls and reincarnate, and having an abyss blood pool is equivalent to having a cornucopia for a demon lord, from which he can continuously harvest wealth and his henchmen.

Of course, the premise is that you can defeat the Mother of Worms.

"Someone."

"Send troops here immediately!"

Sauron quickly retreated from the abyssal blood pool, as all the worms in his vicinity shrank trembling as he weighed, imprinting the breath of a terrifying demon lord deep within their souls.

Sauron looked down at all of this and commanded, "From now on. ”

"I want you to make sure that a batch of demons will be born from here every day, and I need a lot of troops to strengthen my army!"

………………

Capturing the Abyss Blood Pool is just the beginning.

There are still many challenges for Sauron to conquer this land, and the next one is the disgusting thing in the bottomless abyss.

- "Poda corpse! ”

It's a terrifying kind of undead creatures that roam the bottomless abyss and hate all living life. The Poda corpse attacks all demons, and they are rarely enslaved by the Demon Lord, except in the case of the Demon Lord who is also undead. Within Sauron's territory there is such a group of Poda corpses.

They pose a serious threat to Sauron's wealth.

Because many of the demons born in the wilderness, these coolies that could be taken in by Sauron and sent to the mines to mine were killed by these Poda corpses.

It's not easy to deal with them.

Sauron gathered an army of nearly 30,000 demons for this purpose, and at the same time sent out some of the fire demons he had created. Zoro is heading towards the path of the Lord of the Barlow Fire Demon, and during this time, he has selected excellent souls, and has cultivated about six Fire Demons from them, as long as they are given a plan to evolve, it is possible to become high-level Fire Demons.

It's a terrible battle!

Even Zoro himself had gone down, but by the time he wiped out the Boda corpses, his demon army had lost nearly 10,000 people.

But it's all worth it.

Because as long as the Boda corpse is destroyed, all the demons in the nearby wilderness can be absorbed by Sauron, and this army can recover in time. Zoro is clearing his territory, and he needs to destroy many creatures, such as demon hunters, twisted mortals, undead creatures, and wandering devils.

Because it is close to the top of the bottomless abyss, there is also a possibility that there will be traces of the devil here.

The huge territory means more chances of reincarnation, and while the demon army is constantly being consumed, there is also an additional batch of mid-level demons who have advanced under the command of Sauron in battle.

At the same time, in the process of conquering these territories, the demon army under Sauron's command has also become larger and larger, and when the third batch of undead creatures is eliminated, the demon army collected by Zoro has reached the scale of more than 200,000, although most of them are low-level demon cannon fodder.

Meanwhile.

Dozens of kilometers north of the Golemba Arena, an abyssal mine led by the Demon Goblins led by the Demon of Yugros has begun to operate.

Thousands of low-level demons were sent to work in the mines, transporting a steady stream of ores, some of which were sent to the demon's arsenal, and some of the refined ore to the lord's mansion.

No one knows where these metals go.

It is only known that since the mine began operation, a batch of metal has been delivered to the lord's mansion every day, but no finished metal has ever been shipped.

No one dared to ask more.

And the demons don't really care where the metal goes, all they care about is that their power is greater, the demons they can control have become more and more, and the lord has become stronger again, how they should continue to climb up.

One by one, the mines began to operate.

Large quantities of metal were forged into weapons, and nearly half of the production was sent to a place called Modo City.
