Chapter 048: Ascension
Mainnes's hollow pupils were gray, her pale lips were slightly pursed, and the wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes were more pronounced. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Info Due to weakness, it seemed that the other party's spirit was in a trance, and Zoro's gaze finally glanced at Mainz.
"If you want to resolve the dilemma formed by the siege of the Longting woodland by the Zhongpingling army, you may be able to start with Maines."
It doesn't hurt to give it a try, Zoro thought to himself.
Later, Ciceli left with Mainnes, but because of the other party's special status, Zoro naturally had to send a team of soldiers to 'escort'.
As the saying goes, it is in man to do things, and it is in heaven to make things happen.
No matter what kind of plan, there is a possibility of failure and bankruptcy.
If you have to fight with the Zhongpingling army in the end, even if you fight to the last person, Longting Woodland will never be killed.
Bend your knees or throw in the towel.
By no means the style of an iron-blooded lord.
Sauron knew that by doing so, not only would the Dragoncourt be sacked and slaughtered, but the enemy would even point his sword at the bone and say, "Behold, this is a lowly coward!" β
"We should be well prepared,...... No matter what the cost. β
In Zoro's eyes, the crystal eyes swam slowly, and the sharp chin was slightly upturned. At least, the Purple Gold Flower Legion in the Dragon Court Woodland was not without the possibility of confronting the Zhongpingling army.
He had consumed the totem liquid of one water bladder before, and he still had the totem liquid filled with five water bladders in his hand.
Totem liquid has the magical effect of improving the profession. Data analysis converted into a mysterious data stream can quickly improve people's basic attribute points.
Previously, the Dragon Court Woodland already had an epic totem pole, which would bring 10 strength attributes to each Purple Gold Flower Soldier, both now and in the future.
After all, on the surface, it has made the body of each Purple Gold Flower soldier tend to be stronger.
In other words, every soldier will have the talent to become a professional soldier, and only intensive training remains.
Zoro's analysis and judgment: If on this basis, if you use totem liquid, combined with the magic assistance of the bard, everyone can arbitrarily increase the basic attribute by 10 points, no matter what, it is worth the risk.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The name of the Dragon Court Woodland Army was officially established as the Purple Gold Flower Legion.
There were three battalions in total, each with a strength of a thousand people.
When the three thousand purple gold flower soldiers stood in front of him, in everyone's perspective, the lord's lips were tightly closed, and his chin was slightly sharpened. His chin is straight, his lips are not curvy at all, and his teeth are white when he speaks.
"Soldiers of the Purple Flower Legion, many of you are refugees from nothing, but you must believe that those who lose their property lose a lot, those who lose their friends lose even more, and those who lose their courage lose everything in the end. Here, I have to say that the world belongs to the brave. β
Water leaks, which are usually used to keep time, can be accurate to the unit of totem liquid in the water bladder to a drop.
In this gap, every Purple Gold Flower soldier opened his mouth to put a drop of totem liquid in his mouth, and the swollen liquid energy made everyone feel that their skin was swollen and painful, and even their bones were making a 'gurgling' sound.
The three water bladders are depleted.
A drop of totem liquid is worth thousands of gold coins. Sauron is using huge sums of money to quickly train this army.
Spending such a large amount of money to quickly increase the strength of the army is unique even in the entire history of the Dande Kingdom.
Recalling the experience of his previous life, it would be an unprecedented attempt, and Sauron could not even predict the consequences, only a vague understanding in his mind.
For the first time since his rebirth, he used the language of the elves to exert the bard's greater magic, so that when he used his magic, his tendons were convex and clenched together.
"The Song of Gondor" -----
After just four words, a golden sound sounded from the epic totem pole, and the entire ground of the Dragon Court Woodland was covered in a vague golden spot, and many purple and gold flower soldiers, their bodies were also plated with a layer of gold.
During the entire chanting, Zoro took a big sip of the totem liquid to replenish the mana value consumed, without any pause in between, and completed it in one go.
Wooββββββ
With a vague trumpet, an impassioned marching battle song.
"Home is behind, the world is ahead. Thousands of miles to travel through the shadows. so far as the edge of the night, until the stars shine. β
ββ¦β¦ Fog and shadows, clouds and darkness. It should retreat, it should retreat. β
Wooββββββ
With a vague trumpet. Sudden vision...... It was a rousing melody, mixed with neat marching steps, whooshing, whooshingγ......
In mid-air, the flag of Gondor is also the emblem of Emperor Gondor. In the history of Middle-earth, the image of Gondor is derived from ancient songs, and the central tree represents the white tree of Vera, which was given to the NΓΊmenΓ³reans by Vera according to the Twin Sacred Trees; The seven stars represent the seven crystals of true knowledge forged by Feno, the supreme king of the Noldor tribe.
This time, in addition to the Swan Knight of Gondor Doran Ross, there are also the Spring Guards, the Ilian Rangers, as if they have come out of the depths of history in another dimension, they are wearing silver armor and a blue cloak.
Wait until the illusion dissipates.
Each Purple Gold Sergeant adds an additional 10 to his base stats.
Of the three thousand soldiers, at least a thousand of them directly became Black Iron Level 5 warriors.
Eight hundred people became Black Iron Level 5 Swordsmen, and six hundred people became Black Iron Level 5 Marksmen. As for the rest, they get the Shadow or Knight class.
Puff -
After all this, Solen fell to the ground on his stomach. Despite the replenishment of totem liquid, there was no doubt that this magic overdrew his body.
Dragged his weak breath, he felt that his legs no longer needed any strength, and he could only rely on his hands to support the ground and move forward little by little, barely standing up.
The breeze ruffled Zoro's hair and landed in the eyes of all the Purple Gold Flower soldiers, causing everyone's hearts to ache.
The lord of the Dragon Court Woodland was just a child, but that smooth black hair had already covered a layer of hoarfrost at some point.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A day later, the lord's residence.
Zoro's spirit wasn't fully recovered, it was just that he didn't have any more time to delay.
In the line of sight, after a change of washing, Mains, the chief of the trolls skull tribe, wrapped his head in a square white linen cloth and pinned it with a hairpin between his ears, revealing only a bright face.
She is wearing a white dress, and her overall temperament is mysterious and pure.
In Zoro's point of view, the other party walked slowly towards him, his plump body was mature and slender, and his clean makeup brought out his delicate facial features and perfect skin, like a glamorous goddess.
Only those white pupils reminded Zoro that the 'woman' in front of him, her favorite food was the human brain and heart.
"Lord Stadium, as you can see, my body is weak. I have nothing but kindness towards you, no hostility. But my guard officer, he won't allow you to come near me alone. After all, almost everyone knows that you are a tough professional. β
Sauron's gaze avoided Maynes' suspicious gaze staring at the location of the Ringwraith Witch King, and his gaze fell on the other's chest.
It's a very simple garment.
Zoro recognized it as Adele's clothes. The style of the dress is almost barrel-shaped, and it is only because Mains is so full at the front that this neck, which does not fit very well, is wide open.
A white skin peeks out from the neckline.
In sight, there is a pair of proud twin peaks, matched with Maines's graceful and good figure.
In Zoro's eyes, whether it is the pair of even and sleek silhouettes, or the downward snake waist and fat buttocks, they all show a seductive charm.
In the eyes of the six purple gold flower swordsmen and the guard officer Leon on the side, they felt more intuitively: this scenery made them feel ecstatic, and they couldn't help but want to hold it in their hands and play with it.
Of course, without the permission of the lord, these fragrant scenes are just YY fragments in my mind.
Zoro vaguely remembers that Mainnes's left thigh was obviously seriously injured. Now only one day apart does not affect the action, which shows that Mainz is a strong professional.
And according to the reminder of the Ringwraith, the other party can sense his presence, the chief of the trolls skull tribe, Mains, she is at least a silver-level professional.
Very different from yesterday, today, Mainnes's eyes look extremely flexible. "Human Lord, humanity has 100 years of vitality, and you are half overdrawn today!"
Sensing the white hair on the head of the Lord of the Dragon Court Woodland, Mainnes's red lips pursed, "...... Mortals play with the gods, and even with the replenishment of totem liquid, you will pay a heavy price for it. Lord Zoro, is it worth it? β
"Isn't it worth it?"
Faced with Zoro's rhetorical question, Mainz was speechless.
An overdraft of 50 years of life may be costly. But in this bizarre world, there is no shortage of ways to continue life.
At this moment, Zoro didn't want to waste any more time, he chose to get straight to the point. "Even if I don't enter your tribe, the totem liquid will fall into the hands of Zhongping Ling. And it is not me who destroyed your tribe, there is no eternal enemy in this world, here, I want to make it clear that we have a common enemy, and that is the lord of Zhongping Ridge. And you, as the fiancΓ©e of the chief of the Thorn Forest Trolls Ori Tribe, I think you have enough power to take revenge on your enemies. β
"Even so, what good will I get?" Mainnes's response was cold and sad, and she stared at the Dragon Court Lord with an extra haughty and cold expression on her face.
Sauron smiled playfully, and the guard officer Leon immediately placed the water bladder filled with half of the totemic liquid in front of Mainz's eyes.
The expression of the Lord of the Dragon Court Woodland was indifferent, but the inadvertent light in his eyes made people dare not underestimate it, "What was taken from Zhongpingling's hand is not considered to be returned to the original owner." But I'm willing to make friends with you personally. β
In Maynes' view, Sauron, the Dragon Court Lord, who had just been weak, suddenly stood up from his high-backed chair. The carved facial features, coordinated and matched, show a unique self-confidence and toughness.
"In the whole shade of the greenery, the true rulers are by no means humans. In fact, even if it seems to be human, whether it is human, it is the place of shadows that we should be afraid of. β
Speaking of which, Zoro's blazing eyes stared directly at Mainz's white pupils, "These totem liquids can help you restore your tribe, whether it is for the plunder and killing that is full of Shemale bones, or for revenge on Zhongping Ridge, you have a reason to convince your fiancΓ© to start this revenge war." β
"If I were you, I wouldn't trust an ogre's promise, let alone believe that humans and ogres can be friends."
Mains has long been known to have an eccentric temperament. But if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, maybe Sauron wouldn't have believed that this 'woman' would not spare her life.
In Zoro's eyes, Mains didn't seem to be afraid to anger himself at all. Even if it was just a simple command from him now, she would have died in pain and torment in no time.
Spotting Mainnes' smiling squint at her, Zoro realized she didn't really want to die. At least, there was no hostility in the other party's eyes full of 'provocation'.
"If we are not friends, as enemies, one day we will meet again. β¦β¦ Leon, open the underground passage to the Forest of Thorns, and the Purple Gold Flower Legion will send a small team to escort Queen Mainz through the Forest of Thorns. β
Zoro doesn't think an ogre has much integrity to speak of. All he could do was take advantage of the flames of revenge from a tribal queen's anger over the loss of her home.
On the other hand, even killing Mainz would not help the current situation in the slightest. So, let Mainz go, Sauron has his own reasons.
As for the fact that Mainz did not take the totem liquid that filled half of the water bladder, it was a surprise to Zoro.
Including the words she left when she turned to leave, which once made the tired and weak Zoro feel strange for this 'woman's sexuality, and at the same time, there was a trace of crying and laughing.
"Human Lord, Mains never befriends 'food' unless he's a handsome human teenager. But that doesn't seem like a good thing for you...... As people say, every handsome boy is my favorite. She would spend a day falling in love with each other, but when night fell quietly, she would dig out the young man's heart with her own hands, and then eat it with tears in her eyes. I don't want to restore my tribe, nor do I want to owe you a favor. Because one day I will come back and have you prostrate at my feet. β
ββββββββββ
Sending Mainz away, Sauron won't pin all his hopes on an ogre, unless he wants to play with his fate and that of all the subjects in his realm.
Due to the siege of the Longting woodland, the construction sequence of the town was completely stopped, and the cutting and production of timber, the pillar of the economy, naturally came to a standstill.
On the face of it, it is in a dead end.
And before the situation changes and the rescue comes, there is only one last way in front of Zoro and all the Dragon Court people, and that is to prepare for war in an all-round way.
Sauron wants to use these ten days to give the crape myrtle army the combat power to fight against Zhongping Ridge.
Even if he knew from the bottom of his heart that the bloody confrontation with Zhongping Ridge might cause the Purple Flower Legion to lose all the three thousand professional soldiers that the Purple Flower Legion just had.
But as every dwarf insisted, "Even if every Dragon Court person has shed blood, he must use corpses as stumbling blocks, and he will not make his enemies feel better!" β
Strength attribute points affect the body's physical fitness, endurance, and muscle explosiveness. A strength increase of more than 10 points can directly strengthen bones and greatly increase the toughness of the body.
Yasuo's most intuitive feeling was that the physique of each Purple Gold Flower Sergeant was more or less taller than before.
After the bones have been strengthened, the next physical training is aimed at increasing muscle strength and consolidating professional specialization.
As for the specific method: a combination of a sturdy belt and thickened hemp rope can be carried over the shoulder and buckled on the back to hang heavy loads.
As long as the posture is correct, the weight can be stabilized above the waist, and in the next time, each Zijinhua sergeant can gradually increase the effect of the strong training by increasing the weight.
"Weight-bearing training long-distance running, 50,000 meters around the town of Lorkadin - run!"
Yasuo's order was that everyone except the soldiers on duty, including the centurion, should be trained.
Moreover, Yasuo does not think that the training of modern sergeants in his previous life can be compared with the world in front of him.
In addition to the professional cultivation system, you must know that in the era of cold weapons, it is normal to kill a few people who do not abide by military discipline and do not train hard.
ββββββ
Three days later.
The war is imminent, and the training intensity of the 3,000 soldiers of the Purple Golden Flower Legion is very high, coupled with the improvement of attribute points, they are in an important stage of growing muscles and strengthening their physique. The amount of food you eat in one meal is 4 to 5 times that of the average person.
According to the latest directive, the Crape Myrtle Legionnaires can distribute food as needed, rather than the reference amount.
Giving such an order, Zoro had already foreseen that the food storage in the Dragon Court Woodland would probably not last more than ten days. But I didn't expect that the limited food storage would be consumed so quickly.
A message from Old Fair, "My lord, our food is ,...... Soon. β
"My time has nothing to do with it, you tell me directly, at this pace, how many days can we still last?"
Hearing the lord's words, Old Fell directly said a number that made him feel heavy. "Three days."
The moment the two eyes met, the eyes of the two of them conveyed a certain pressure in silence.
The moonlight is hazy and the stars are shining.
It was nearly midnight, and Sauron leaned back in his high-backed chair, closing his eyes in contemplation. Suddenly, he only felt a vibration of his eardrums, and a series of thin footsteps, very light, for fear of disturbing him.
But the sound of Zoro was all too familiar, and footsteps walked between the two doors. "Squeak," the door opened softly, and Ciceli walked over to Yasuo's side and said softly, "My lord, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest." β
"Cicely, do you have something?" Zoro opened his eyes.
At this time, it appeared in the Hall of Lords.
Cicely did have something to report, but inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a few strands of silver in Zoro's hair, and in the flickering candlelight, a trace of moisture came up in Cicely's crystal eyes, and her voice sounded a little choked.
"Lord Lord, don't be tired......
Under Zoro's gaze, Ciceli lowered her head, as if she was deliberately dodging. In the gap, she handed Sauron a scroll that appeared to be made of sheepskin.
"In the place where Mainz was discovered, Leon found this thing on the body of a knight of Duanmu City."
He took the parchment scroll and took it in his hand and examined it carefully. Zoro was slightly surprised, he opened his mouth, didn't speak for a long time, and after a long while, he nodded, "Sali, you helped me solve a problem." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A return scroll that can hold 500 people is not a small help for the current situation.
The lord of Zhongping Ridge, Marquis Walter, was determined to take revenge on the Dragon Court Woodland, and the fire of his hatred for the Dragon Court Woodland could not be extinguished.
But the Dragon Court Woodland had a dome defense, and Zoro didn't need to be nervous for the time being.
The muscles in both cheeks drooped loosely, and Sauron paid more attention to a detail: with nearly 10,000 troops in Zhongpingling, the daily military supply was a large number. The pack beasts from Zhongping Ridge will carry a large amount of food every day and pass through the eastern woods on time.
Plundering the enemy's military supplies was no small adventure for Sauron, no matter what.
In the past few days, the surveillance of the Zhongpingling army has become more and more stringent. In order to narrow down the target, he had to act alone.
In the action plan, after the underground passages to the west and north were sealed, only the last underground passage on the east side remained, which was not detected by the enemy.
Push the turf off your head and crawl out of the damp tunnel exit in the dark. A cool breeze blew, causing Zoro to wrap himself in a big coat, and he didn't feel much warmer on his body.
Of course, it was only in the open field that Sauron would find that the scarf that Ciceli had given him was densely packed with threads that protected his neck.
"Boom", there was a muffled sound in the sky, followed by clouds.
Looking at the gloomy sky, Zoro's heart also gloomy a lot, the weather in this season is always changeable and unpredictable.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
To the east of the Longting Woodland, there is a road that is not wide between two small groves.
"Hurry up, there's camp ahead."
Bending over and hiding in the woods, Zoro could clearly hear the sound of the Zhongping Ridge team passing by.
In his observation, there were not many soldiers in charge of escorting military supplies, less than 300 people.
This is thanks to a large carrier animal that is common in this world.
The weight of the pack beast reached 10 tons.
It is easy to load a vehicle of equal weight. It is characterized by a flattened body, stout legs, four-toed feet, a particularly large head, and a pair of curved front teeth growing out of its mouth.
Adult pack beasts are usually covered with black fine and long hair, with very thick skin, with an extremely thick fat layer, the thickness can be up to 9 cm, and they can go without eating or drinking for half a month, and their endurance is excellent.
Just as Sauron had seen, there were ten pack beasts in front of the ten carts.
Viewed from the side, its back is the highest point of its body, descending steeply from its back, with a pronounced depression at the neck, and its epidermis covered with long hair, resembling a hunchbacked old man.
The beasts of pack are docile and only obey the orders of the driver, even if there is a ravine ahead, and without the command of the driver, these animals will not hesitate to step on it.
Only by attacking the protrusion in the neck of the pack beast can these bulky behemoths be stopped.
