Chapter 046: War Dog
Just as everyone saw Sauron's shoulders shrug and was about to take a step forward, their eyelids jumped. In the www.biquge.info horizon of the Pavilion, the Eagle King Sacrifice suddenly turned around and backhanded a sword indifferently.
The old red hair, kneeling and twitching. One of his heads was split in half in response. In addition to the red and white viscous liquid, the half-red hairy face that kept its mouth open fell to the ground with a 'snap'.
At this point, all the red-haired nobles on the flat ground were frightened by this abrupt and terrifying sword, and they all held their breath and knelt there without moving.
"Target - prisoners of war. Loyalty 5 stars. ”
Getting this set of data from the green-haired warrior in leather armor, I think of the resistance on the hillside that was quite tough before. Zoro roughly understood that these green-haired Ice Clansmen, as a special existence, had excellent combat bloodlines, and were only loyal to the Ruler of the Canyon, assisting the King of the Wandering Tribes, ruling over the Canyon and the nine nearby tribes with a total of nearly 50,000 Ice Clan Wanderers.
Judging by how much the red-haired hated them, Zoro guessed that the mission of the green-haired warriors was probably to suppress and eliminate the rebels in the tribe.
To understand it simply, it is equivalent to the general's guard on the battlefield. Responsible for executing orders and supervising the performance of others.
Obviously, these green-haired warriors, who were the sworn enemies of the eagle people half a day ago, have now become the most effective executors.
The Bear tribe, with a population of more than 7,000, was conquered by 3,000 Eagle warriors and three slave regiments. All this shows that there is no unity within the displaced tribes.
Even when the war came, a large number of black-haired and yellow-haired barbarians were still all excluded.
On the battlefield, once the green-haired warriors were defeated, the entire tribe immediately lost their morale, and the red-haired nobles followed the green-haired warriors. In general, the internal strife of the Ice Clan tribe has given the excitement an opportunity.
I have to say that this is a challenge and a kind of luck.
Thinking of the consul of this dependent territory, and the candidate for the so-called king of the canyon, Sauron needed a general who could stand alone. Therefore, he glanced at Rudolph beside him as a matter of course and meaningfully, and said, "Rudolph, in the name of the Eagle King Sacrifice of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, from now on, I will officially appoint you as the ruler of the canyon, and the king of the Ice Clan!" ”
……
Later, under the guidance of the green-haired warriors, there was also an extremely spectacular cave in front of Sauron's eyes.
The so-called official residence of the King of the Canyon, the cave sits east facing west. It sits on a mountainside, and from a distance, the entrance of the cave looks like a huge fish mouth, presenting a desolate and lonely scene.
"Most of the black, yellow, and red-haired barbarians live around the plains of the valley, but this cave is located on a high place. This should be the core of the tribe, but living in such a cave is really a bit barren. ”
Regardless of the shape of this cave, it takes a lot of effort to conquer a tribe after a bloody battle.
He found that the chief of the tribe was a 'caveman', and looked around and saw that there was no loot to loot.
Whether it's for the Eagle Warrior or for Sauron, this is probably a very disappointing thing.
But after a few minutes, follow the boulder steps and climb to the entrance of the cave. Not only Sauron, but no one could have imagined that there would be another wide horizon in this cave.
In the vision of the Eagle Warrior, the natural cave is surrounded by greenery, and several stone statues are lined up at the entrance of the cave. Several tall ancient trees point to the vaulted roof of the cave dotted with stalactites. Bypassing a huge cistern, the cacophony of people and animals in the cave comes to you.
The open inverted figure-of-eight cave fully absorbs the natural light from outside the cave. Inside the low-hanging cave is a large wooden house that is lined up and scattered.
The green-haired barbarians live in a cave with the king of the canyon as a clan unit.
These large houses are connected and scattered according to the terrain. Strings of preserved meat hung from the eaves, as well as all kinds of bone and rattan daily necessities.
In addition, there are wild fruits, pickled meat, dried vegetables, grass stalks, fodder, bamboo, pottery or piles or sun, hanging or hanging, and there is a dazzling array of everything. There are also animal pens and livestock breeding places similar to pigsty and chicken pens. All the buildings are built according to the hanging corners of the houses, or built on the rocks, or use natural stone caves, which are very crowded.
Greeting the new ruler of the canyon, a large number of old and weak women and children are simmering.
Zoro's gaze also swept over the faces of the green-haired ice clansmen. It can be seen that the supplies of the entire canyon tribe are hoarded in this cave.
Just what you see on the surface, you have to be much richer.
"It seems that our efforts and gains are equal."
Zoro turned his gaze to the Hawkman Warrior, smiling gently, at least in the eyes of the Hawkman, on his handsome cheeks, slightly outlined, like a harvest expression.
"My king, under your command and governance, the blood and sweat of the eagle people have never been shed in vain."
Along the stone path, in the long line, a bold response came from an unknown location. It made many eagle warriors smile on their faces. In the eyes of the Eagle Man, the only person who is qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon Eagle Chieftain is the Eagle King Sacrifice One person.
According to statistics, there are a total of 9 green-haired clans in the cave, but after this war, they were slaughtered by the red-haired nobles. There are only about 200 green-haired males left in their prime.
Compared to the previous three thousand green-haired warriors, it now seems that no matter what, 200 green-haired warriors are not enough to assist the new Archon of the Canyon King to rule one canyon tribe and 8 tribes of the Takeaway Year.
Pausing to think about an appropriate allocation of resources, Zoro then ordered, "Rudolph, take these green-haired barbarians and a hundred barbarian warriors to extract twenty thousand black-haired slaves, and then pack and sort two-thirds of the food and supplies in the cave. Wait until dawn tomorrow and bring them back to the Eagle King's territory. ”
Sauron gave such an order, in addition to bringing back rich booty and black slaves for himself, and his purpose in doing so was to reduce the pressure on Rudolph to govern.
Although in the eyes of the eagle man, he could have ordered to abandon and burn the canyon tribe. However, considering that the Red Grand Canyon is not only the border entrance and exit of the western plain of the Eagle King's territory, but also the place where the annual migration of beasts must pass, the Ice Tribe, does not produce, but has a considerable population.
It shows that the annual migration of the herd is enough for them to live a life without food and clothing.
Coupled with the two iron mines that Sauron had already confirmed, there was really no reason for him to give up such a strategically important and abundant subordinate territory.
……
Continue up a simple and wide artificial stone path. Walk past a row of wooden porches that are rudimentarily constructed.
At this time, standing in front of the throne of the king of the canyon, the golden sunset sprinkled all over the walls of the cave, which was magnificent.
Walking up a few steps, the tentacles carried a trace of coolness, and under the caress of the palm, what appeared in the eyes was not a bone throne as imagined, but a round branch cover, hung with dark green leaves, and a bunch of white and yellow flowers, exuding a faint fragrance.
It is like a large natural tent, shielded from the harsh light, from which you can watch the sunset.
The dots of light that sifted through the leaves of the trees were scattered on a stake-like chair.
"This ...... It seems to be a very close to nature. ”
Zoro sat down on it, feeling that the place was very cool, especially close to the evening breeze, and there was a power to stir people's hearts.
The horizon is pleasant, wide, far-reaching, heavy, and desolate!
"I just don't know why the Orbia created such a throne, and what kind of race he came from."
Just as Sauron was secretly curious about the Orbia's throne, a deep voice came from his ear, attracting his attention.
"My king, in addition to a warehouse full of weapons, these things have also been found here."
The eagles opened a few wooden chests filled with red and green gems. These things, in Sauron's eyes, are just another source of funding. So, he couldn't think of beautiful words to describe the magnificence and nobility of rubies.
However, there is still a sentence in his mind, "Wisdom is worth more than rubies".
Being able to compare with wisdom shows that the value of rubies is still cherished. Even in the eyes of savage tribes, it is a very valuable asset.
Actually, compared to gorgeous gemstones. One of the treasures that Zoro really valued was the discovery of a fierce war dog among the tribe of the Ice Clan.
The war dogs used by the Ice Tribe for fighting and entertainment are about 1 meter tall and weigh about 60-70 kilograms, which is a large dog that Sauron has never seen.
Touching it with his hands, the war dog's fur is smooth, his body is short, fat, strong and heavy, his head is large and his jaw is wide, and his whole body is pitch black without any variegation.
……
"When the call for slaughter is given, the dogs of war are immediately released."
As Zoro observed, when the dogs were ready to attack, their large, flabby jaws would show their hard teeth and start growling. The threatening sounds they make when they suppress their anger are far different from those of other dogs, and finally when they bark wildly, the sound is vibrating in all directions.
When they begin to lovingly, lick and kiss their pups with their tongues, or grab them with their paws and toss them around, and gently bite them with their teeth. and is very docile and obedient to his master.
"Grab it."
Zoro instructed the green-haired barbarian to push his dog to the ground, where the dog's broad shoulders and strong limbs could be seen, and his overall appearance and posture showed great strength and stability.
And from the physique of the war dog, it can also be perceived that its body contains great power.
In general, despite their primitive fierce appearance, these dogs are loyal and determined, and possess the characteristics of being brave and ferocious to their enemies.
Measured by Sauron himself, the scapular muscles of the war dog are very well developed, very heavy, widely distributed, and inclined outward, giving the impression of stability and very strong.
Using a black-haired slave as an experiment, on the field, an adult war dog rushes towards the fleeing black-haired slave like an arrow. The tall and ferocious war dog, with quick movements, only took less than 1 minute to tear open his neck and other positions, and the end was extremely fierce.
In ancient Greek civilization, there are records of the use of war dogs on the battlefield.
They are fighting dogs in the arena, and they are also comrades of the ancient Greeks who hunted and even fought side by side.
Seeing that the Ice Clan people raised a considerable number of war dogs, Zoro also seemed to see a war dog army of his own.
"Send two teams of sentinels to patrol this canyon in turn!"
The Eagle Warrior simply replenished his food and received orders from the Eagle King.
If the Ice Barbarians believe in the Beast God, then it is the Hawkman's duty to send the Hawkman to his god when he escapes and causes trouble.
In this age of savage, walking legends and heroes, everyone should think of death, and the difference is how to die......
As a conqueror, he has experienced the baptism of blood and war. Sauron also thought about death, but his perception of this was, "When life burns to the most intense boiling point, ranking in the ranks of Sparta, the distance to death is the closest, and the perception of life and death is the most open-minded!" ”
Five minutes later, Zoro stood at the mouth of the cave, and through the data in his eyes, the morale, loyalty, and law and order of this dependent territory had been improved to a certain extent.
As the consul of the valley, General Rudolph led his general's guard of 200 Green Bear warriors. Can't wait to begin the duties of an archon.
According to Sauron's ideas, the Red Grand Canyon serves as the western border of the Eagle King's territory, as well as the base camp for training the slave corps.
It should be replanned and built according to Rudolph's suggested model.
It's just that this grand goal needs to start with the construction of a gate at the pass of the valley.
It took only 3,000 slaves to block the entrance to the canyon tribe, which is a good warning.
As for the primary business of the consul Rudolph, it should be started with the tedious tasks of counting timber and stone, and planning the construction site.
"Perhaps from Ludong Afu's ability to govern, his command can be verified. It has to be said that this valley occupies very favorable conditions. It can start as a village and develop into a walled city,...... and eventually built into a giant fortress. ”
The thoughts in Zoro's mind did not affect him from swallowing the dried meat in his hand in small bites.
Although the taste was not perfect, it took him half a day to finish eliminating a strip of meat that was not too long. But compared to the food concocted by the eagle, it is already a rare delicacy.
Perhaps always feeling a little dry, Sauron slowly picked up the clay bowl filled with water on the rocks and slowly took a sip after sip.
To be honest, he has been responsible for internal affairs for a long time, and when it comes to the dependent territories of the border, as well as the villages that are about to be planned, Zoro is happy to be the master of the house.
To rule a territory, more often than not, it depends on the talent under your hands. I don't have the energy to deal with every territorial thing in person. (To be continued.) )
