Before negotiating with the barbarians of the Blackstripe tribe, more food was delivered, and even 3,000 plainman slaves with twelve finger traits were delivered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing that the negotiations are imminent, it cannot be ruled out that there will be hostile barbarian tribes in the future, and it is the time when manpower is needed, so while Zoro officially positions the Black Peak Iron Mine in the territory of the Dragon Court, he wants to formally establish his rule here.

Ensure the safety of Longting Heifeng Iron Mine.

"Listen, all the young adults under the age of twenty-five, all gather in the central square!"

Conveying this sentence to more than 3,000 plain people, the central square in the mouth of the guard officer Leon was actually just a small open space that was temporarily planned.

In order to establish a good management order in the Black Wind Iron Mine, it is necessary to delineate clear regional restrictions.

For example, residential areas are residential areas, and they cannot be mixed with infantry barracks, and important places such as water source areas, ore areas, and armories must have infantry standing guard 24 hours a day, and no one is allowed to approach them at will.

At present, Sauron does not have much food in his hands, so it can be said that it is very scarce, and now there are three thousand plains people and a hundred plain nobles out of thin air.

Coupled with the three thousand legion infantry of the Purple Golden Flower Legion, and one thousand mercenaries, a total of more than 7,000 mouths, the little food sent by the Black Stripe Tribe is not enough at all, and the current food ration has been pressed to a minimum, and it is uniformly distributed by the cooking infantry.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and Sauron is not a kind-hearted, irresponsible lord.

In addition to ordering Thorin to return to the Dragoncourt Woodland via the Return to the City Scroll and negotiate with Morkin, please build a guild to deliver food to the Shadowlands. Zoro ordered more than 3,000 plains to go to the designated point to open the underground passage with the mysterious mountain tribe.

If that stupid fish monster doesn't complete the task given to it by Sauron when it's due, then it can take immediate action to conquer without wasting a little time.

In short, Sauron's command was, "Whoever is willing to work has food, and those who are unwilling to work have no food." No one is an exception. ”

……

Of the more than 3,000 plain slaves, only a handful were 300 young men. It can be seen that the people of the Black Stripes tribe are not fools, they should have thought of Sauron's supply difficulties, which is why they sent so many mouths.

Three hundred young men, the guard officer Leon, were ordered to gather them together and await Sauron's next orders.

Sauron's gaze swept across the young men's cheeks one by one.

Although they had all experienced the life of slaves, the young man was in good spirits, and he did not disappoint Sauron too much.

According to the establishment of 3,000 people per legion, these people are the cornerstone of the new legion, the Black Peak Legion.

Next, every word that came out of Sauron's mouth was sonorous and powerful, "The best place for a man is the battlefield!" And not in a cramped and gloomy mine! Although you have come from another continent, another world, this is your new home from today onwards. ”

"Now tell me, would you like to be a soldier and take revenge on the barbarians, the orcs, who oppressed you, or would you like to return to the mines and do your never-ending toil?"

The central square was silent, and Sauron's voice was filled with anger, "Tell me, which of you would like to go back to those damp, dark mines?" I immediately told him to go back. ”

It is not important not to have combat experience, nor is it important to have no combat skills training, and for a young army, the most indispensable thing is blood and courage.

When he heard Sauron's question again, a loud voice finally came out of the more than 300 people, "We don't go back, we want to fight!" ”

The young man who took the lead looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and with a pair of clever eyes under his two crooked eyebrows, he knew at first glance that he was a capable man.

Under one of the Peugeot's noses, there is a large mouth with two thick lips.

It has been said, "A man with thick lips has a clumsy tongue." But Sauron didn't think so, he thought that this young man was the most bloody young man among them.

"We're not going back, we're going to fight!"

More than 300 people shouted in unison.

It wasn't until this belated response that Zoro was slightly satisfied, but his forehead was still bruised, and he shouted, "You're about to prove in a battle that you're capable of becoming a soldier!" You will use the blood of your enemies to complete the military salute! ”

"Soon, the girl will be immersed in your battle stories, and you will become their heroes!"

"Now that you are still a new soldier, you may not be able to avoid the regular infantry and the enemy laughing at your ignorance, but you must let everyone know what it means that the ignorant are more fearless!!"

"Shout with me, Black Peak Legion, indestructible !!"

Zoro's voice was almost hoarse, but every word he spoke, and the kind of momentum he exuded, infected everyone present like a lion.

"Black Peak Legion, Shake the Indestructible !!"

"Black Peak Legion, Shake the Indestructible !!"

"Black Peak Legion, Shake the Indestructible !!"

The voices of the three hundred youth soldiers gradually changed from shouting to roaring. Even infected every legion infantry of the Purple Golden Flower Legion. The shouts of three hundred people finally converged into a roar of more than three thousand people in unison, shocking the inside and outside of the stone wall.

At this point, Zoro stood there silently, as far as his eyes could see, watching the burning eyes of each of the young soldiers.

As a commander, in addition to knowing how to command the war, you must also know how to mobilize the morale of the infantry.

Sometimes, war can even be described as an art.

"Centurion Hadrir, get out of line!"

Hearing the order, a regimental centurion wearing a centurion's horizontal crown feather immediately stepped forward from the ranks.

Hadriel Centurion, who looked to be only twenty years old, had short hair and was tall and well-proportioned.

He wasn't handsome, but his features were upright, and they could be seen in his eyes. He was a bright and energetic young soldier.

He has a very strong feeling, and his resolute face seems to be made of steel.

Hadriel, even in the Purple Flower Legion, is a legendary centurion. After all, not everyone at such a young age can climb to the position of centurion.

"Centurion Hadriel, from now on, is responsible for the daily training of these young troops of the Black Peak Legion. And you will be their captain. ”

Later, Sauron issued spears, javelins, wooden shields and other weapons to the 300 youth army.

Heifeng Iron Mine does not have the conditions and ability to cast elite equipment for the time being. And these inferior weapons are all hoarded by the barbarians.

……

"What's your name?"

Later, Sauron spoke alone to the young man who had just taken the lead.

"My name is Fenrir."

Facing Zoro from close quarters, Fenrir was a little nervous.

The corners of Zoro's mouth turned up slightly, "I want to promote you to be Hadrir's lieutenant, the centurion of the Youth Army, and help him train and manage these people, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Fenrir's eyes immediately radiated a strange light.

Sauron was all too familiar with that light, the peculiarity of an eighteen-year-old young man burned with ideals, faith, and courage.

"I—I do!"

Fenrir was so agitated that even the major artery next to his neck was beating.

…………………………………………

After dealing with the affairs of the Youth Army, Zoro did not delay for a moment, and went back to the stone wall to investigate.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, but there is still no sign of dissipating. Commander Jep has been out for a short time and has not yet returned.

The dense fog enveloped the scenery fifty feet away in a vague and dizzy appearance.

Zoro had a bad feeling in his heart, today seemed to be an unusual day.

On the way to the stone wall, he almost bumped into a man, and when he took a closer look, this person was none other than Illiphona.

"It's you." Zoro frowned, if he remembered correctly, he had just given the order to prepare for battle, and no one was allowed to move around at will.

When he saw the women's underwear in Iliphona's hand, Zoro knew that they had just come out to dry clothes.

Illifonne's two waitresses were assigned to the cooking class by Zoro, and the three male waiters were all digging tunnels in the back.

Sauron ordered her to be given proper favors, but her attendants were not among them.

Elivonne didn't have to do any work, but she had to do all the basic daily life, which made her feel very dissatisfied in her heart.

After the embarrassment just now, Zoro smelled a strange scent in her hair, but he didn't know if it was the body fragrance she was born with, or some other spice. It's a dreamy scent that makes you want to go back and smell it again.

Unfortunately, Iliphona had already taken two small steps back.

"Bears in armor, that's what you say about me?"

Intercepting the other party's thoughts in an instant made Zoro feel angry and funny.

"You, how do you know ......" is seen through the thoughts in your heart at a glance, and anyone will be frightened.

Zoro's face turned cold, he really didn't need to be serious with a woman, so he bypassed the other party's body and walked straight down.

"You know what? You are not a brave general, much less a brilliant lord. Because in my opinion, you are too young. ”

Zoro stopped and turned sideways.

Illiphona's delicate face swept out the shallow worry, which made her originally surprisingly beautiful appearance even more pitiful.

"I was a captive of the Blackveined Tribe, and although Philo was the leader of the tribe, he had a son. Philo may be a fair clan leader, but you don't know his son, so don't even think about negotiating with the barbarians! ”

I have to admit that although Illifona is a woman, it can be seen from what she says that she does have scheming.

This is a woman who is soft on the outside, but bold and spicy on the inside. After going through so much, I still haven't grown at all!

Zoro asked coldly, "Then what should I do according to you?" ”

Hearing Zoro's words, Iliphona rolled her eyes upward, "Of course, give up the iron mines, leave the barbarians far away, and find a safe place." ”

"Stupid woman!"

This was Zoro's response.

Illivonne was desperate to convince something, but all she had left was a distant scarlet cloak in her eyes.

Elivonne was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot, and now she didn't even have a life as an attendant, and she was about to be tortured and driven crazy.

But Elivonne was a wise woman, and she would not let Sauron's refusal discourage some of the thoughts that were hidden in her mind.

In any case, only by returning to the plains of Zablan can she live a life like a princess. But for now, she can only use the agitation method......

……

Elivonne knew that the Blackveined Tribe had sixty thousand warriors in just one barbarian, but Sauron didn't know it.

"It seems that after the big war, this Illifona must be interrogated in more detail."

Knowing the number through mind reading, Zoro frantically climbed the stone wall, opening up a strategic perspective to monitor any corner he could see.

He caught a glimpse of the ordnance weapons on the stone wall, and directly gave the order to prepare for battle, "These short spears, as well as bows and arrows, are far from enough, all the long-range weapons in the armory are brought up." ”

"Leon, let those two trebuchets get in place quickly!"

"Five hundred members of the Purple Golden Flower Legion defended the gate, and one thousand went up to the city wall. The rest, as reserves, are ready to support Stonewall! ”

This section of the stone wall can only hold a thousand people at most, and the enemies may be countless, so Sauron must use all the resources at his disposal as much as possible.

At this moment, the thick white fog not only hid the hillside, but also shrouded the things below.

In the midst of the fog, there were small raindrops, sometimes fluttering and falling somewhere, and sometimes dripping down, deepening the fog into a layer of darkness.

The thorny bushes under the stone walls all bowed their heads silently, and dark shadows stood in the fog.

At this moment, the visibility of the dense fog is only less than twenty meters away.

In the dense fog in the distance, there were a few faint sounds, and the legionary infantry on the stone wall immediately opened their bows and arrows, held their breath and stared at the fog with sharp eyes.

"Don't let go of the arrows yet!"

Zoro found out that it was his own. Of the twenty infantry that Commander Jep had brought out in the morning, there were only a dozen or so left, and there was no Commander of the Thousand Commanders among them.

"Wait, what do they seem to be carrying?"

Zoro was instantly sure that he was carrying several wounded men, and Jep might have been injured.

Behind them, you can vaguely see hundreds of barbarian pursuers.

Zoro decisively ordered, "Send two centurians out to meet them." ”

The effective range of the bow and arrow is only within two hundred meters, and the distance of more than four hundred meters is really powerless.

Some experienced legionnaires built two trebuchets overnight, and the pebbles weighing about 5 kilograms were launched by the trebuchets at a maximum range of about 400 meters.

In addition, outside the stone wall, hundreds of grass balls with a diameter of more than three meters were arranged, all of which were filled with charcoal and some sharp broken spears.

As soon as you spot a dense group of enemies, you can immediately set the grass ball on fire and roll it down the hillside.

The terrain of the Black Peak Iron Mine is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and from the bottom to the top, even if it is difficult to walk normally without burden, let alone fighting.

Even if an army of 60,000 came by air, it would only pass through a thousand people at a time in the most dangerous place below.

Three thousand against a thousand, Sauron believed that as long as there was a danger to defend, it was perfectly possible to thwart any number of invaders.
