Chapter 36: The Spirit of the Ancestors (I)
There was a cry and screaming within the indigenous tribe.
Elite pirates reap heads with a blank face, giving a blow to the wounded but not dead Native warriors. More than 2,000 troops had occupied all corners of the indigenous tribes, and although there were still scattered sounds of fighting, they were quickly cleared. There was a strong smell of blood over the entire tribe, and the pirates were used to it, but many of the half-elves were pale. These half-elves hadn't fought much, and they weren't even better than the battle-hardened pirates.
Sauron stood there and pondered for a long time.
After a moment, Scarface's figure appeared in front of him, leaned over and said, "Your Excellency Sauron! All the rebels were cleaned up. β
"Good." Sauron turned to look at him and said in a deep voice, "How about the casualties." β
Scarface immediately replied: "Seventy or eighty people were killed in the battle, and more than three hundred were injured, and my subordinates have arranged for people to treat them." β
The casualties were okay.
Sauron nodded when he heard this, no matter how strong his personal strength was in this kind of battle, the pirates under his command would inevitably suffer casualties. However, this kind of Cheng DΓΉ is still within the scope of bearing, but it will affect his next plans.
"One qiΔ do what you planned!"
Sauron glanced at the indigenous slaves who were encircled together, and said in a deep voice: "First find out the nearby terrain and set up a cordon outside, there should be an indigenous tribe here, be careful that they sneak up on us at night." β
Scarface responded, "Understood." β
The sacrifice just now obviously has different ethnic groups of indigenous people, and the oil paint painted on the body of the two sides is different, so it should belong to another tribe. Sauron was not in a hurry to attack them, but was prepared to secure the place first. The scale of this indigenous tribe is not small, the population is probably close to eight or nine thousand, so many captives can not be digested in a short time, Sauron is ready to send all the dangerous ones to Modor City. Because the evil god he served died at the hands of Sauron, many warriors in the indigenous tribes also gave up resistance.
These fighters cannot stay here.
Because just give them a chance. Whatever you get your hands on can be used as a weapon to threaten Sauron's pirates.
They had to be sent to the city of Modo to work as coolies, and those who were too uncontrollable were simply transported to the south coast as slaves and sold, and many places liked to use this fierce indigenous warrior as gladiators.
The warriors were cleaning the battlefield, and many natives had gold and silver ornaments on them, which were directly stripped off.
Treasure Island has a lot of mines, but because there is no trade, the natives use gold to make all kinds of rudimentary ornaments. Sauron had come here to further increase his wealth, and now he had more and more troops under his command, and now he could afford to trade them. In the future, if the Sage Cataclysm breaks out. All trade must have been hit hard, and at that time most of the income from trade was lost, and these armies could only be raised by the resources of Treasure Island.
That's why Sauron was so generous in promising to help transport the half-elves and save them from taxes for the next two or three years.
The reason is simple.
The Sage Holocaust lasted for more than two years!
It wasn't until the end of the turbulent period that the wounds slowly recovered, and basically all the chambers of commerce could only make more money this year, and after that, it would be difficult to trade at all.
All right.
Sauron was sometimes a real devil because he didn't break his promises, but he just foresaw that trade would not be so easy in the future.
If anyone can make a fortune in turbulent times, it's their own business!
Naturally, the merchants did not know this.
Recently, because Modo City has accepted so many half-elves, there is a considerable need for various materials! On the one hand, they were busy delivering goods to Sauron. Strive to brush up more favorability of the pirate king, on the other hand, buy materials from all over the country and resell them in Modo City, strive to exempt the next four or five years from taxes in one go, and then get a flag from the pirate king or something. So that you can walk sideways on the sea. Basically, no one will come and provoke them without a long eye.
Sauron's money is flowing out in a big way!
In addition to important materials such as food, other things that can be hoarded are being sent to Moduo by boat, and this money can now be used to buy a large number of material reserves, and it is estimated that there will not be much money to buy next year.
The war disrupted production.
The qiΔ that is being prepared now is all about preparing for future changes.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Soon.
Pieces of gold and silver were removed from the houses of the indigenous nobles. At a glance, there is a lot of glittering gold.
"Phew!"
Scarface spat and rubbed his hands excitedly, "I didn't expect these guys to be really rich!" Lord Sauron. Why don't we do it again? β
Sauron glanced at him, shook his head slowly, and said, "Don't be in a hurry. The most important thing now is to escort the captives back. β
"There's a gold mine around here."
"Then you stay here and arrange for the mining to be carried out. I'll let the giants stay, so that if something happens, I can deal with it. Beware of the other natives on this island, don't be careless! β
Scarface had suffered a loss on Viper Island, and immediately nodded at this time: "Understood." Your Excellency. β
"I won't make the same mistake a second time."
Although the giant is the most difficult brain among many pirate leaders, his combat power is strong enough, although he has not yet reached the legendary realm, but the bloodline of the mire giant directly allows him to have legendary level combat power. Sauron had sent him to Arendale to deal with the Viku pirates, but it was quite good, and he had a good relationship with Scarface, so staying here could deter other forces. In the event of a battle, there is no need to worry about not being able to defeat the enemy.
After all, many of the island's more than legendary creatures can't get too far!
Spirits are similar to Earthbound Spirits.
The day passed quickly, and the next day Sauron arranged for some of the captives to be taken back, there was no need to leave too many people here, and a maximum of a thousand men were enough to mine the gold mines. However, the garrison is still strong, because there are too many dangerous creatures on Treasure Island. There is a possibility of encountering monsters on the route between Modor Island and Treasure Island, and Sauron is not ready to return in person at this time, but he will have the mutant killer whales escort him. In the future, the mutant killer whale will be entrenched here as a sea monster, and the vicinity of the route will be included in its territory, so that it can avoid other sea monsters from approaching.
In the sea, every sea monster will not set foot in the territory of other monsters!
