As long as it is a slave taken from another orc tribe, Sauron is willing to pay 20 times the price for it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Making such a promise is not at all as easy as Sauron said.

Heifeng Iron Mine has abundant iron ore resources, but the extremely backward mining technology and the extremely lack of labor force have made such a price the output of Heifeng Iron Mine for several years or even longer.

It is impossible for Sauron not to understand this, his promise seems to be a swollen face and a fat man, but in fact the drunkard does not mean to drink.

He didn't plan to trade the ore of the Black Peak Iron Mine, and chose to use totem liquid.

In the future, it will be deeply trapped in the sphere of influence of the **** race of the barbarians, and the Dragon Court will not even have the strength to compete with any beast tribe.

The current situation is not very optimistic, and the only way to fish is to muddy the waters!

Therefore, Zoro must try his best to provoke the conflict between the minotaurs and other orcs, in order to achieve the goal of buying time and developing and strengthening himself.

As the saying goes, there must be gains, and there must be gains. As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, no matter how much it costs, Sauron generally doesn't think too much about it.

……

In autumn, the smell of the sun is mellow, like a warm oil painting.

Just when the legion infantry and the totem tribe handed over five thousand human slaves, the scene that happened in front of them had nothing to do with the warmth and tranquility of the golden autumn. On the contrary, the ears were filled with the earth-shattering wails and the solemn sounds of the autumn wind.

Seeing the Minotaurs pushing 2,000 or more human females into the pen to be executed, Cicero stopped their cruelty in the first place.

"Why are these women being executed?"

Zoro stared at the Minotaur chief Geldad, his eyes filled with anger.

The totem tribe really called the shots of shamanic sacrifices, and the Minotaur chieftain Geldad had to retreat to the second line. But through contact, Sauron learned that it was loyal to its shamanic sacrifices.

Gerdard was covered in flame-like red heavy armor, and only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, and with that cold killing aura, he knew that he was not a soft-hearted fellow.

But in the face of Sauron, as a defeated subordinate in the arena, the Minotaur Chief Geldard still very interestingly, restrained his bravery and pride.

"Honorable foreign lords, we have delivered five thousand young human slaves. These human women are of no use other than to reproduce and waste food. ”

"Summer is coming to an end, and it's useless for these human women to stay. And this is not the first time we have executed women and slaves. ”

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

There is nothing wrong with that.

In the eyes of the Minotaur chieftain, killing these human women was as casual as killing some useless brutes.

Different races have different views on life. Even Sauron had given a ruthless military order to skin and chop the flesh of werewolves.

But sometimes knowing this, Sauron is a little unacceptable when he sees his own kind being executed like beasts.

Zoro was furious at the sight of the human bones strewn across the corral, but he couldn't vent the anger that had been suppressed in his chest to the other party.

At least, not now!

"Chief Gerdard, why don't you sell these women to me as well?"

Zoro walked over to the corral, untied a young girl, and said seductively to the Minotaur chieftain, "I'm willing to pay the same price!" ”

The Minotaur chief Gerdard watched Sauron untie the ropes of the human women and did not force it. "Honorable foreign lord, perhaps you are right. These human women can breed populations for you, and then you can have a large number of slaves. But I have to warn you that by the end of autumn, winter is approaching and food is becoming more and more scarce. ”

Maybe it's because of Sauron's strong personal force, or something else. This made it difficult for Chief Gerdard and the other minotaurs to treat him as an ordinary human.

In the eyes of the Minotaur chief Gerdard, "Sauron is a warrior worthy of respect and a wise lord." But the rest of humanity is no different from lowly beasts. ”

The Minotaurs have always been known for their bravery and pride, and it is nothing new for them to look down on other weak orcs.

"Hehe, the chief doesn't have to worry about this. My territory has enough food reserves, even if you give me face, you should sell me all the remaining slave women! ”

"After all, killing them like brutes has no value at all."

For Sauron, a complete territorial composition, it is impossible to lack women in the population.

As long as the subjects of the Dragon Court Territory. Let them marry wives and take root in the Dragon Court, after all, this is Sauron's unshirkable responsibility as a lord.

……

From a human point of view, most of these women waiting to be executed are very young and beautiful women.

In order to save food, they were to be put to death like animals, and the carcasses were fed to the wild animals in the corrals.

Zoro looked at these young and beautiful women, and could hardly find an old face in them.

When his eyes swept over the corral, he instantly understood that those old, weak, sick and disabled people were afraid that they would become the layer of white bones in the animal pen from the beginning.

In the eyes of the Minotaurs, the labor capacity of human women is not as good as that of male slaves, and the more slender women are, the more thin and weak they are, and they are all redundant slaves who waste food and must be disposed of in time!

In contrast, the totem tribe preferred to use this part of the food to keep stronger male slaves in captivity.

But for Sauron, women are a very valuable resource of the population, sometimes more important than men. They are the fundamental guarantee for the harmonious development of the territory!

Sauron had already officially signed a trade relationship with the Bucknar Shaman, so every word he said still had a bit of weight.

The Minotaur chieftain Geldad, who eventually agreed to Sauron's request, scavenged almost all the human women in the tribe and gave them to Sauron, claiming not to charge a penny. It's a thank you to Zoro for not taking it free.

Five thousand young human slaves, plus eight thousand young and healthy human women, this is all the income of Sauron's trade.

"Thirteen thousand slaves, plus 1 hundred legionary infantry. The Minotaur is only willing to give five days' rations, and must march back to the Gate of Shadows as soon as possible! ”

"Leon, inform the Chief Diplomat, and we'll leave for lunch in a moment!"

The team of 14,000 people, walking on the endless open plain, is so eye-catching and eye-catching!

Sauron did not refuse the kindness of the Bucknar shaman, and he accepted the escort of five hundred minotaur totem warriors.

With these minotaur warriors and their totem poles, it would take almost no time to fight to scare away all the raiders on the Zabulan Plains.

These so-called raiders had been taught by Zoro a few days earlier, before they arrived at the Totem Tribe.

Among them are short and filthy kobolds, these orcs with a dog's head, with scaly skin, only half the height of normal humans, and their skin is dark rust and pale black, in addition, kobolds' combat effectiveness can only be described as slag.

The second is the four-legged deer-headed man, the deer-headed man has good combat effectiveness, but the flaw is that he does not have any weapons and equipment, and the number is not as many as the kobold.

A few of the inmates were curious and used kitchen knives to dissect the corpses of two kobolds and deerheads, which literally coexisted with human and animal features, as if there had been an animal cataclysm.

Compared to kobolds and deermen, the most difficult raiders are the non-negorams, who have a keen sense of hearing, piercing eyes, and are the best stalkers and stalkers, the best snitches and spies.

Sauron has spotted the nezumi several times, but has not caught a single live or dead nezumi. These things seemed to be unsure of what to do, and after only one day of tracking, they quickly abandoned 100 legionnaires.

……

As long as it is a slightly stronger orc tribe, there will be no shortage of food to survive the winter.

Just like the Minotaur Totem Tribe, before winter comes, it is enough to execute the surplus slaves, and there is no need to loot everywhere at all.

But compared to the fast-reproducing and weaker orc tribes, their need for food is simply too great.

Why are there so many raiders on the Plains of Zabulan?

The origin of the raiders, when winter arrives every year, some orc tribes that are short of food will send a certain number of surplus people to collect food and resources for the winter.

And these surplus orc populations will form gangs of raiders, like locusts, to loot and destroy everywhere.

They usually come from some small tribe of orcs. For example, the kobold tribe, the deer tribe, and the rat people are the three most common characters among the raiders.

In the orc tradition, survival is paramount, and raiders raid humans as well as orcs from other tribes.

Once the domain of mankind, the Plains of Zablan has been a haven for raiders ever since.

But since the defeat of the human city-states, the barbarians who ruled the human city-states have abandoned the Zabulan Plains.

From that time on, the Talon Tribe, the Totem Tribe, and the Money Tribe became the new lords of the Zabulan Plain.

The raiders are a group of outlaws, pressured to survive and accustomed over the years, who don't care who the new lord of Zabran is.

And this desperate way of plundering greatly annoyed the three tribes of the Zabran Plain.

For these raiders, even if it is the Orc Alliance, there is only one word to deal with it, and that is to kill!

The Plains of Zablaan is plagued by a large number of raiders every year, and correspondingly, there are Guardians of the Plains who specialize in hunting raiders. The fastest and most agile leopard people, the famous tribe of money, have long played the role of hunting raiders.

During today's rapid march, Sauron saw these legendary leopard men for the first time.

When they discovered the huge human team and those mighty minotaur totem warriors on the plains, the leopard people did not run away like raiders, but quickly approached, and even formed an attack formation on the plains.

It wasn't until the leader of the Minotaurs' escort, the Shaman Prince Basen, walked out of the team in person that the other party gave up the attack formation and dispelled the hostility.

"Dear Totem Tribe Shaman Prince Basen, I am the glaring leader of the Money Tribe, Atkin...... I'll chase you away the troublesome raiders! ”

The height of leopard people is generally about two meters, and they are covered with large and small yellow spots, although their body shape is not as burly as that of minotaurs, but their agility and running speed are probably no one can compare with them.

In just a few moments, more than two thousand leopard troops disappeared from Sauron's sight.

But the shaman prince Barson told Sauron with a strong sense of warning, "Honorable foreign lords, never trust those leopard people, who are in fact the most despicable raiders of the Zablan Plains. ”

Barson's implication was that if it hadn't shown up at the time, Sauron would most likely have been raided by the leopard people.

The raiders, mostly an overloaded tribal population, traveled thousands of miles to the Zabulan Plains, where the three major tribes were entrenched, to loot and destroy everywhere.

The leopard people then hunt raiders for profit, or make a temporary cameo as a raider, and no one can say who is the real raider.

In short, the law of the jungle is the iron-clad law of the world, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and the Zabulan Plains are full of violence and blood.

……

At dusk, the day's march ended, and a large army of more than 10,000 men camped in the open on a flat meadow.

Sauron inadvertently walked to a hill, sat down inadvertently, and looked up inadvertently, but unexpectedly enjoyed the rare sunset scenery in the plains.

At this moment, the sun has set to the west, and its dazzling sunlight has dimmed slightly, only a circle of golden light flows around it, and the light is dazzling.

Zoro stared intently at the sun. Time passed, and he watched the sunset, slowly and finally sinking in the west.

"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk."

I can't say why, whenever I see such a scene, Zoro always feels an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

Although he is still young, he can't help but think about a question all the time.

"Even in the original world, it is not something that can be achieved overnight to achieve a hegemony since ancient times. Not to mention the Dragon Court. No matter how good magic is, it can't help you stay young and immortal. ”

"When a mortal's life reaches the end, how can I let go of the hard work in my hands, how can I let go of the hegemony that has not yet been completed?"

It is easy to pick up and difficult to put down, maybe there is no perfect thing in the world, and God cannot give you another chance at life.

Just when Sauron asked the sky speechlessly, secretly feeling sorry, he felt a figure approaching from behind, it was the shaman prince of the totem tribe - Basen! (To be continued.) )
