Chapter 041: Tower Guard

From the cave, there was the sound of two combat units colliding with each other and fighting fiercely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Using the corner of his eye, Zoro noticed that Percy was nervous. She also seemed to know the strength of the Warhammer Stone Demon, her eyes were staring ahead, and her face was white and red for a while, obviously nervous. Zoro gestured to her composure with his eyes, and suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly. The roar of the warhammer stone demon reached the mouth of the cave, making people feel as uncomfortable as a knife slashing into the chest.

Two minutes later......

The sound of battle continued as the rocks inside the cave collapsed, and Rudolph seemed to be wounded, but his more passionate battle roar, and the more fervent roar of the hammer stone demon. Let the eagle man at the entrance of the cave be covered in blood, like boiling water.

Feeling the fierceness of the battle in the cave, every Eagle Man warrior had an unbearable anger in his eyes, which flowed to the tips of his fingers, and pinched the wooden handle of the sword or spear in his hand.

About five minutes later......

When there was no more movement in the cave, under the burning eyes of the 20 eagle-man warriors, Rudolph walked out of the cave with an ugly, sarcoma-like head.

The battle had just ended, and the anger in his eyes was stronger than the flames in the furnace. The opening on Rudolph's right cheek opened to both sides, and bright red flesh protruded.

Not only that, but one of his arms also seemed to be dislocated and drooping weakly. The sword in his right hand was gone. In addition, there are countless cuts on the body that have been cut by rubble.

Zoro's forehead stretched, staring at the face. To be honest, Rudolph's appearance is not of the handsome type, and the facial lines are too cold and hard, and now there is an extra cut, which will soon become a scar, which will make this cold and hard face more resolute. A pair of eyes are too sharp, and after looking at him for a long time, the cold mist in that layer is even more terrifying, even if it is indifferent, it is like a silent tiger.

"Rudolph complete!"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Rudolph finally extinguished the fire in his eyes, his body trembled a little, but he insisted on kneeling in front of Sauron on one knee, and gently placed the head of a warhammer stone demon at his feet.

"Only by erasing the ugly stone demons can we appreciate the magic of nature in this cave." As Sauron walked through the cave of the Warhammer Golem, he kept moving forward. The countless strange stalactites on both sides made him feel as if he was in a narrow cave kingdom.

The first impression of a cave is often that it is dark, damp, silent and mysterious.

This is due to the fact that the Stone Demon Cave is far away from the daily life of humans, so the dark and secluded scene is often intimidating.

In this ******** isolated world, constantly groping in the dark, moving forward in fearlessness and hope. In a trance, it is like a strong light, dispelling the confusion and fog of his own fate in the depths of his heart.

The cave of the Warhammer Stone Demon is winding and bottomless. If it's not for the limited time, take into account the fact that the sky is getting dark and the light is not enough. Sauron would have wondered how deep the cave was, and how many surprising Strange Stones or sub-monsters of the Stone Demon were hidden.

Stopping and not going any further, Sauron suddenly heard a hint from the Eagle Warrior in his ears, "My king, here is a discovery. ”

Zoro stepped forward, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes coalesced to examine them in the dim light.

Through the guidance of the Eagle Man warriors, I saw that from the cave stone wall here, there was a white stalactite, thick like a small wall. On one side of the wall, there is a separate slit that can be distinguished if you look closely, showing a metal-like color.

With Sauron's approval, Rudolph swung his arm and slashed down, and as many of the rubble fell off, seeing everything hidden in this crevice, the eagle warriors around him shouted in unison: "Gold! It's gold! ”

As Rudolph said before, "As the most powerful branch of the Stone Demons, the Warhammer Stonegom has a great greed for gold and precious stones. ”

A gold mine, the trophy of the extermination of the Stone Demon and the unexpected reward of this adventure.

"The cost of building a territory, you can use the gold here." For the architect Garrys, the next big problem will be solved, which somewhat stretches the handsome and slightly resolute cheeks.

"Money is by far the greatest invention of mankind." With gold, it is possible to measure the value of most material things and make them contribute to a civilization. In this way, the primitive trade of bartering has reached a new level of progress.

………

…………

The sunset, unlike the morning sun, has a unique brilliance, shining on people's faces like a jade plate, making everyone's cheeks seem to be plated with a layer of gold.

At this time, unlike the scorching sun at noon, the light overhead is no longer so dazzling and radiant.

When Sauron stood on the plain at dusk, he looked into the distance.

At this time, the endless sunset began to become chaotic and dim, because of the twilight, his mood began to become unpredictable.

Wyvern, a hunting creature that is good at flying. Cloaked in the afterglow of the setting sun, its tail turned into a bifurcation in vision, and even though it was gone, its outline could still be seen, and the scales on its huge fleshy wings reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Sauron returned triumphantly with the eagles, only to meet the formidable Hawk base, who had just been ravaged by a flying dragon.

This was not something that could have been anticipated in advance, and this would be the first time that Zoro had faced the back of a 'powerful creature'.

"Honorable Eagle King Sacrifice, the Wyvern suddenly invaded, and we tried our best to evacuate, but we still caused some damage."

The little eagle chieftain was covered in dust, and his torn clothes hung like a sheet, a little embarrassed. In Sauron's vision, the entire Eagle Strike Grand Canyon was full of traces left by the Wyverns, the most obvious of which was the Eagle Man's slave quarter, most of which was reduced to ruins.

"The territory has been destroyed and the morale of the population is low."

"Attacked by an unknown enemy, a large number of houses were damaged, people's loyalty declined, and their joy declined. The territory has just experienced a slave riot and a drop in law and order......"

In addition to the data of the captain, Zoro could comprehend the wounds suffered by the eagle people.

The Great Eagleman Chief leads the legion to pursue the Wyvern. In a sense, Sauron is now the supreme leader of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon.

A Hawkman Elder was found, the flesh and blood of the corpse was blurred, which made the Hawkman Little Chief's face seem to be brushed with a layer of white ash, and his eyes flashed with thunderbolts.

"Tell me what kind of creature it is." Although the Wyvern is not uncommon for the Eagle Man, there are basically very few people who can face the Wyvern directly, hearing Zolon's question, the little chief can see his face, pouting with a touch of indifferent water chestnut, and his voice is as cold as ice.

Despite such imperative questioning, there is a lack of sincerity in sharing information. But the words that came from the firm and soft lips formed a special line of voice, piercing the eardrums of the little chief, making her feel unquestionable.

For the sake of his own identity, the little chief did not intend to leave any bad impression on the Eagle King sacrifice. Although, he still can't understand that there will be people in the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon who don't know the abyss worm.

"Wyverns, a ferocious winged aerial hunter, in order to lose weight and climb high in the air, have very light bones, and do not have much appetite or appetite. The Eagle King sacrifices to my lord, and believes what I say. If you're not familiar with Wyverns, I think you'll need to pay more attention to Earth Dragons, which leave the Western Forest in large numbers every winter, through the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, and then head out towards the plains. ”

“…… Earth dragons have no wings, but they have swift limbs, and are more intelligent and aggressive than wyverns. Whether it is a wyvern or an earth dragon, in the Zabulan Continent, they are all called 'Abyssal Worms'. Speaking of which, the little chief noticed that the Eagle King Priest was listening to the attrition statistics in the territory, and seeing that his cold and hard face gradually eased, he then added, "Wyverns are not very intelligent, but they are often hostile to eagle people. But the Zabulan continent is very large, so the priest does not need to worry, the wyvern has a wide field of vision, and it preys and destroys in the same place, usually no more than twice a year. ”

"Twice a year?"

Hearing this, Zoro's wide-open pupils were filled with determination, followed by a sudden contraction, bursting out many cold fragments of vision.

Under the gaze of the little chief of the eaglemen, Zoro suddenly turned away, his voice in the back was low and calm, magnetic. "Welcome to this wyvern's next visit! But...... From the next time, there will be no third time. ”

……………………

Although the Eagle King Sacrifice is not the supreme leader of the entire Eagle Man Clan, due to its special status and status, it is not subject to anyone's control. Unless the Eagle King Sacrifice wants to summon someone, even if he is the Great Chief of the Eagle Man, he can't meet each other. This instead allowed Zoro to take the initiative, and there was no point in rushing until he thought of a better way.

In fact, staring at the identity of the Eagle King's sacrifice, Sauron was not in a hurry, but had a careful plan. That is to steal the rights of the entire Eagle Man tribe and make yourself the Eagle King in the true sense of the word! And to achieve this, it will take a little time to operate.

…… The northern border of the Eagle King's territory is the uninhabited coast of the Ice Sea.

Now that the Stone Demon has been exterminated, Zoro has officially drawn the eastern border of the Eagle King, the Splitting Mountain Waterfall.

Through Rudolph's suggestion, Sauron agreed to gather three hundred and sixty one-horned barbarian slaves to form a guard, and now that he has a strong combat capability, Sauron intends to go one step further and formally establish the western and southern borders of the Eagle King's territory.

It's just that a war is about to be launched, and it's not as simple as imagined, just raise your sword and swing it, and the eagle warrior can crush everything.

Before starting a war, Sauron had to make some preparations, such as the timing of the war, the route of the march, and even the weather.

In this war, Sauron aims to conquer and rule the plains.

Not only did he want to wipe out the dense Ice Tribe. There are many unknown dangers to deal with, and the destruction of the Abyssal Worm has shown that this cold region is not as wild and calm as imagined.

Later, the architect Gareth approached him and sent him two architectural drawings.

One is a map of the structure of the earthen wall of the Eagle King's territory, although the earthen wall is strong, but the defense performance is low, and it is just an over-construction from town to city, so Zoro simply swept it and put it away.

What really cared to Zoro was the design of the second drawing, which was mainly used to defend against the invasion of beasts like the Abyssal Worm.

Tower defense is a strategic idea put forward by Rudolph. Professional architect Gareth will complete the specific design details.

The blueprint shown by Gareth creates obstacle structures for long-range defense around the borders of the Eagle King's territory, and even around the earthen walls of the Eagle King's town.

According to the drawings, the structure of this kind of building is generally a tall tower, the smoother the appearance, the less difficult it is to climb, and the sturdy tower shows a wide lower and narrow upper limit, so that all the details of the plain and the mid-air can be seen.

There are lookouts and crossbow shots on the top of the towers. And given the destructive power of the Abyssal Worm, the tower system was almost entirely built with giant stones.

Zoro said, "Welcome to Wyvern's next visit!" But...... From the next time, there will be no third time. ”

In addition to tower defenses at the borders of the territory, tower defenses are set up at regular intervals around the Eagle King's town, which will create dense, intersecting long-range firepower.

The Abyssal Worm flies high in the sky, and the tower defense may be helpless against it. But if the Wyvern flies at low altitude, or wreaks havoc on the ground, these tower defenses will eventually prove its lethality.

"My king, the structure of these tower defenses can completely resist the destruction and impact of the flying dragon. Just such a quantity, as well as demanding stone requirements, will take a lot of time and resources. General Rudolph took out the strongest slaves in our hands to form a guard, and the rest of the old and weak laborers, even in winter, may not be able to be completed. ”

Architect Garrys voiced his concerns. As a lord, Sauron had obviously thought about this a long time ago, so he asked bluntly, "Garys, if I give you five thousand slaves, and provide your slaves with double food during the working period, and in addition, regardless of the fatigue and casualties of the slaves, you can be sure that these tower defenses will be completed before winter." ”

In extraordinary times, an extraordinary approach should be adopted. According to the information revealed by the eagle's mouth, at a fixed time of every year, the 'abyss worms' on the ground will ravage the Savage Continent, and for the safety of this territory, some inhumane measures have to be taken.

"Architect Garys, skill proficiency level increased to level 5. Loyalty increased to 8 stars. ”

Just looking at Garys's resolute face and the set of data that appeared in his eyes, Sauron knew that the architect Garys would not disappoint him.

"My king, if there are five thousand slaves and enough rations, I can use my own head to ensure that when the autumn after the end of summer is approaching, all the tower defenses can be completed."
