Chapter 060: Eve
Stepping out of the lord's residence, there is a wide gravel road underfoot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Like the finest bronze mirror in the Great Hall of the Lords, the gravel path was an additional gift from the guild merchant Moorkin. The evenly laid rubble, paved with the residue of materials used to build the lord's residence, followed the road fifty meters further on, and it branched into three branches, one of which extended directly to the barracks of Lol Cardin.
Three minutes later, a loud voice resounded over the entire barracks.
"Salute to the Lord!" Neat formations, bright metallic lines.
Looking at the scene of the barracks and receiving the gaze of every Purple Gold Flower soldier, the expression on Sauron's face was inversely proportional to his age, and his calm expression and pace looked more like a steady and wise elder.
"Loyalty and courage are our rules! Die in battle, throw your blood, and glorify my body! Glory Dragon Court !! ”
The roar of the Purple Flower Army was more like a lion's unbearable desire to fight. The slogan of Longting people is short, majestic, proud, and tragic......
As a lord, Sauron needed an army that valued courage and sacrifice as the highest glory.
Approaching the soldiers, looking at the young faces, Sauron's bright eyes swam slowly.
In all the affairs of the territory, Sauron is most concerned with the development of the army, and living in this combative land, whether it is an individual or a country, there are often uncompromising interests problems. And the best way to not be passive in this kind of problem is definitely not only to have diplomatic relations with the surrounding lords, but also to have the power to make others respect and fear!
After inspecting the barracks, on the way back to the lord's residence, Zoro once again raised his eyes to look at the barracks.
In his sight, the barracks were of medium size. It was just a living tent and a large number of light infantry training facilities in the open field.
Use the experience of two lives to gain insight into the art of war in Total War. Sauron's heart is like a mirror, and only the heavily armed knights and heavy warriors are the most capable and resistant main forces on the battlefield. At present, the Dragon Court Woodland needs more armor weapons and war horses.
War is inseparable from equipment, and equipment is inseparable from money.
Broadly speaking, it is not only humans who have wars, but even lower creatures such as ants are often accompanied by acts of war.
The difference is that in human society, money is the main cause of many human struggles.
It doesn't matter if it's a commoner or a lord noble. A person, if he wants to survive, cannot do without money.
The utensils that had been purchased with a lot of money from the Wood Art Guild had given Sauron's lord's residence a new look.
With a red blanket under his feet and a curtain hanging from the beams overhead, everything looks delicate and neat as far as the eye can see, whether it is a pure copper table or a wooden shelf full of scrolls and books.
A fire lit in the massive fireplace nearby, and in a crackling sound, Zoro could smell a nice smell of wood.
Writing a lord's journal every day was a habit of Sauron.
Before I knew it, about an hour later, Anne wore a white apron and appeared in front of Sauron's eyes at the right time, "Lord Lord, dinner is ready. ”
Brown bread, sausages, a bowl of boiled chicken broth.
Moorkin's Dead Man's Nutritionist, who once gave advice to Sauron: "White bread for lunch and black bread for dinner." Maintaining a balanced diet is good for your health. ”
White bread and black bread have a difference in workmanship and materials, white bread is equivalent to fine grains, and black bread is equivalent to coarse grains. As for the taste of brown bread. It takes a lot of wood to bake bread, and the baking process is also very cumbersome.
So no matter how tooth-wrenching and throat-hurting brown bread is, it's still a top-notch delicacy in people's eyes, because for many ordinary people, they often don't even have black bread in their rice bowls.
One of the world's most famous things about black bread is that it can be used as a weapon.
In the annals of the Third Age of mankind, there are many records of stupid thieves who sneaked into the poor farmer's house to steal, but unfortunately died under the black bread of the housewife. And when there are conflicts in ordinary families, there are countless men who die from the black bread attack of the...... As for what this thing tastes like, imagine for yourself.
On the plate of pure gold in front of Sauron was a rectangular strip of black bread, baked with wheat flour mixed with a large amount of bran, which was already considered a fine black bread. Compared to the cheap black bread, which cut corners, Sauron should be glad that the black bread he eats is not mixed with wood chips, small stones, etc.
When he had enough time, Sauron was usually reluctant to nibble on black bread directly, but instead used a knife and fork to grind the black bread into pieces and put it in the broth, because it was so hard.
Eating the chicken in the clean bowl, Sauron didn't waste even a bit of broth.
After dinner.
Sauron returned to his bedroom on the third floor of the lord's mansion and changed into a pullover black tunic with a belt around his waist and a rare sword encrusted with rubies. His gaze fell on the stacks of lord journals on the table, many of which were marked with red circles. At this moment, the feeling of exhaustion that had been implanted in the soul struck again. "As a lord, it's impossible to do everything."
About ten minutes later, the Hall of Lords.
It's just that the lord walked down the stairs with a cold temperament, which made Anne vaguely guess something.
"Anne, deliver orders for me, summon Ares and Thorin, and the mercenary officers." Looking into Anne's eyes, the corners of Zoro's mouth were flat and serious.
Hearing the lord's order, Anne bowed, and in her eyes there was a rare light of courage that only male dwarves can have.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Make a fist with your right hand and stop at your chest. Anne's eyes flickered.
During this time of waiting, through the open window, Sauron unconsciously raised his head again, and he saw the dark sky, the sickle-like crescent moon, and the starry light. Time was ticking, and the voice muttering from Zoro's lips was inaudible, "In this era, what calls for war, not peace. War, on the other hand, means blood and iron......"
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from Sauron's ears, and the heavy boots stepped on the marble steps, like a sound that touched the pulse of the heart.
In Sauron's gradually condensed eyes, the guard officer Leon took the lead in pushing open the thick door of the lord's hall. Thorin, Ares, and the five commanders of the mercenaries lined up, standing with their heads held high and their bodies straight. "Great Lord of the Dragon Court, Your Excellency the Wise General Sauron, we will follow all your will!"
