Chapter Seventy-One: Sending Troops to the Astral Boundary!
Cargo ships docked at the port of Modo.
Nearby, a group of heavily armed soldiers guarded it, and the crowd of onlookers next to it couldn't help but be far away.
Five men dressed as clerks were holding pens and paper, flanked by a large attendant of miscellaneous workers and a physician in charge of checking for the disease. Farther away was a makeshift bathhouse, with a man on the left and a woman on the right, which had now been set up to sweep up the hot water, and farther away a robed witch sat on a chair to examine it all.
"Almost."
A man dressed as a city hall official looked at the time and said to the entourage in front of him, "Let the people on the boat come down." Send it down in batches, don't panic. ”
Follow the command and go.
Soon, some ragged and yellow-skinned men were sent down from the first cargo ship. All of these people are refugees, but they all have the characteristic of rarely acting alone, most of them are dragged families, and some are even large families of five people. These are the refugees who have migrated from Modo City, and in order to avoid trouble and better manage, Modo City gives priority to absorbing those refugees who have families and rooms, which are easier to manage than other refugees and easy to put down roots in the land of Modo City.
The first batch of refugees numbered more than 300 people.
The refugees lined up to register at the open shed on the pier, and the five clerks quickly registered the names of the families, which were then distributed to the others.
The long-term displacement made these refugees a little timid, but at the same time, they were curious to see what Modo City was all about, as if to see if the city was as rich as the outside world legend had been.
"Come here."
"Men stand this way, women stand this side. Put all the clothes in the basket next to you, and take them and sweep them off later! ”
On the left is a burly man, and on the right is a woman with a large waist, who, with a sense of pride and superiority unique to the citizens of Modo, shouted to the cowering refugees in front of them, "You can't bring anything from the outside in, it's easy to get unclean diseases." ”
"Go in and take a hot shower and disinfect it, then go to the back door to get new clothes."
The refugees who had just arrived were a little unsure, but when they heard that the clothes on their bodies were going to be burned after taking off their clothes, their faces were still a little reluctant, but they were quickly pushed in. The whole process of bathing is quick, because there are many more people next. There are also people in the bathing place, holding a tube-like thing, squirting a little hot water at them, and what kind of disinfection things, they don't understand at all, it's like puppets at the mercy of others. The first batch of baths were sent to the back door, two sets of coarse cloth clothes for one person, all of which are brand new, the size may not be appropriate, but it can be worn, and if there is a problem, take it back and let your mother-in-law change it.
The line continued to the front row.
After bathing, the refugees arrived near a large shed, and in front of them were several large cauldrons, in which was thick wheat porridge wafting with fragrance, a large bowl of wheat porridge and a piece of dried fish, and after eating, someone led them to the other side of the dock.
All around was the sound of snoring and drinking porridge.
Some of the refugees who had finished eating looked around curiously, and then saw someone holding a basket containing their original clothes and throwing it directly at the side of the garbage dump to burn it.
"All those who have eaten are here."
"Bring me the number plate that was given to you at the beginning! The odd number will follow me later, and the even number will follow her! ”
A man who looked like a clerk appeared, looked at it and said with a look of oversight: "Don't fall behind on the road, don't talk much, follow for almost an hour to get to the place." Naturally, someone will arrange your accommodation. ”
More than 300 refugees were divided into two groups.
One wave to the south and the other to the north, these refugees were also much more energetic after changing their clothes and eating, looking at the buildings of Modo City with curiosity, and involuntarily bowing their heads as they passed by the temple.
Out of Port Modor is a smooth avenue.
They had never seen such a road, clean, neat, and sturdy, and they did not know what it was built with. Because it was the time of the winter wheat harvest, there was a lot of grain drying on both sides of the road, and the yellow, orange and orange grain paved both sides of the road, making many refugees widen their eyes. They hadn't seen so much food since the Sage Catastrophe, and they didn't know how many people had robbed their heads on the south coast, but now they were piled up on both sides of the road and couldn't even see a single person sneaking around. Occasionally, the citizens of the city of Modo passed by, completely oblivious to the riches of the earth. If this is placed somewhere else, it is estimated that after a while, no one will look at it, and the food will all be touched away.
Port of Moddo.
The first boat of refugees was brought down, and soon the second boat of people was also brought down.
The same process continued, and it was not until the evening that the clerks had time to gather together, and then handed a document to the witch next to him and said, "Lord Lena! There were 3,720 refugees in this group. They will then be relocated to nearby towns. ”
"Please give this document to Lord Goliath to sign!"
The witch nodded indifferently, took the papers, and left directly.
These spellcasters don't interfere in the city hall of Modor City, but they do have some daily tasks to do every week, either to teach at the academy or to complete alchemy work, and the thing they care about most is called contribution points, because this thing allows them to enter the top level of the Great Library of Modor City.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
The rule changes brought by Sauron had made these people adapt, and now many things only needed to be ordered, and the town hall could come up with its own detailed charter.
……………………
Mechanical Realm.
Sauron passed through a narrow mechanical corridor, and a huge mechanical workshop appeared in front of him.
There are many such mechanical workshops in the mechanical realm, and their role is to produce constructed life, and the high-level alchemical structural life has always maintained the normal operation of the mechanical realm, and they will repair this huge and incomparably large clock. It was here that Sauron gave freedom to Taling No. 1, and as a high-level alchemical construct life, he could easily achieve a high status in the mechanical realm. And with the knowledge they possessed, it would not be difficult for a few Talings to join forces to become kings in all parts of the Machine Realm.
Passing through the cloister is a row of steel golems.
It looks like they've transformed this place into a Golem Factory, and there are many dangerous lives in the Machine Realm.
The hunters of the Astral Wanderers also attack the higher constructed lifeforms, and they also have to guard against the ubiquitous Fermi ants, so it was only natural that Taling would build his own legion of guards.
"Nice to meet you!"
"Great Lord Sauron!"
Tharing Sauron was Tharing 3, who leaned slightly towards Sauron and led him into a tower.
This is a newly built tower, located at the most important of this gear, and there are three workshops nearby, one for the production of golems, one for providing energy, and the other for unknown purposes.
When Sauron walked in, all the towers were among them.
Taling No. 1 leaned slightly towards Sauron, and then said, "I don't know if there is anything I need to do with Your Excellency Sauron's arrival?" ”
There is no need to beat around the bush when dealing with Taling, because the construction of life is very straightforward, and Sauron said politely: "Yes." I'm interested in the Floating City that fell in the city of the Fommy Ant. So I hope you guys can help me take over the city. ”
Hearing this, Taling No. 1 waved his hand, and a spell image appeared in front of him, and he pointed to one of the cities and said, "Is this it?" ”
Sauron nodded.
Taling 1 pondered for a moment before speaking, "Lord Sauron. Although we have established our own territory in the Machine Realm, with our current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to occupy this city. ”
Sauron replied, "I know. ”
"That's why I'll send troops from the city of Modo. However, it will be up to you to help stabilize the portal, as well as provide some support. ”
Hearing this, Taling 1 said with a somewhat surprised expression: "Is it a cross-dimensional space battle?" ”
"I didn't expect you to develop so fast!"
"There's nothing wrong with that. I will provide a stable portal within the territory of the machine. At the same time, when attacking the city of the Fermi Ant, we will provide 3,000 Clay Golems, 1,000 Stone Golems, and 200 Steel Golems as support. ”
The assistance provided by Taling 1 surprised Sauron.
Because the troops provided by the other party are really a bit large, I am afraid that most of their energy during this time has been spent on making steel golems.
As if guessing Sauron's thoughts, Taling 1 explained, "This gear was originally a gathering place for the Fmi Ant Clan, and we paid a little price to occupy it. ”
"So the current task is to run the Golem Factory at full capacity."
"There's a lot of dismantling in the mechanical realm, and there's a lot of stuff left over from the construction life. In response to the expansion of the Fermi Ant Clan, we have been running the Golem Factory at maximum power. ”
Truly.
The speed at which these Fomie ants are expanding is annoying.
With the support of the troops from the Taling Formation, it would be much easier to attack a city of the Fmi Ant Clan with a population of tens of thousands, and the next thing for Sauron to do was to contact the city of Mordor to see how many troops the city could muster.
Ordinary armies are useless here.
Because of the different characteristics of the plane, ordinary armies still need to adapt, and what can be mobilized is the Golem Legion. Before Sauron left, there were nearly six thousand clay golems stored in Modo City, about two or three thousand stone golems, and a smaller number of steel golems, only about three or five hundred.
There are about twenty diamond golems and improved construction golems.
This time the dispatch of troops to the mechanical realm is a war of attrition, and the clay golem is definitely going to be used as cannon fodder, and Sauron estimates that he will not be able to take it without mobilizing more than half of his troops!
