His eyes retracted from the distance, and as a breeze blew, Sauron suddenly noticed that the architect Garys was as thin as a twig. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The obvious slimming of his body, and the deeper wrinkles on his face, couldn't help but make Zoro quip, "My architect, don't get so close to me, you are so thin that you can stab your emperor to death." ”

Jokes are jokes, and fun is jokes.

Sauron was reluctant to be such a construction talent, and his body was weakened by overwork.

His eyes squinted slightly, and he commanded to the side, "Weavers, go find a few of the best attendants and cooks, and send them all to the architect's quarters." ”

"Yes, Emperor!"

Seeing Weavers personally supervising this matter, Gayres was a little overwhelmed, he wanted to get down on one knee, but his body was as soft as plasticine, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell.

It is impossible for a middle-aged person not to even have the balance to stand, unless it is due to illness or hunger.

Garyth's trembling legs didn't escape Zoro's eyes.

And the light that shot out from these eyes was like a bottomless pit that could capture people's souls, and it was directly nailed to the face of the Eagle Man Elder on the side, "What's going on?" ”

"After the depletion of war and engineering, our granary has been exhausted."

"In accordance with the Glorious Queen's decree, we have sent some supplies to the hungry wolf clan, and the few food we have left, only the warriors are eligible to be distributed."

Elder Hawkman's truthful report made Sauron's pupils glow with a fierce light, and the question of food had already troubled him more than once.

Later, after Sauron's detailed understanding, the food support from the kingdom at the bottom of the mountain could not supply both the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon and the Red Canyon at the same time, and the food consumption of one laborer twice as much per day had long exceeded the budget for food distribution.

Before this, although Sauron had a premonition of the problem of insufficient food, he did not expect it to be so serious.

And in his heart, he knew that he could not feed the current population of more than 100,000 people with that little stock alone.

Forest trolls, and the tribe of dryads, both of which also don't have enough food to survive the winter. Pumping food out of it is nothing more than an unwise move to tear down the west wall and make up for the east wall.

Calm eyes, as if about to devour everything, in the Eagle Elder's slightly upward perspective, Sauron's eyes slightly reddened. Each turn of the pupil radiates a sharp sharpness. "Go and open the granary so that everyone can have a full meal. It doesn't matter if he is a soldier, a citizen, a woman or a child, a freeman, or a slave. Make sure everyone is full. ”

The current population of the Sky Empire is more than 100,000 people, and a meal for more than 100,000 people can consume all the remaining food reserves.

But Hawks were born to fight and obey orders from their superiors. Sauron's order did not make the elders question, but only firmly carried it out.

"The so-called mass migration of herds is nowhere to be seen, and if the problem of undernourishment is not addressed quickly, the consequences will be unbearable for all regions."

A pair of silver, squinted eyes were embedded deep in their sockets, shining with some indescribably deep light. Initiating a teleportation from the moon portal of the Sky Sanctuary sent Zoro down his boots as if he were stepping on cotton wool.

A green light filled the line of sight, and a whistling wind seemed to blow in my ears. The body that was still standing in the Sky Temple one second, and the next second was standing at the door of the Greenway Temple at the edge of the Alpha Forest.

――――Greenway City-State Nature City!

"The Emperor is coming!"

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared in the Greenway Temple, at the gate of the temple moon, the two wolf kings transformed into Greenway Holy Order warriors were in awe, and the rough sound was deafening, and then more voices echoed noisily. A low gloom hung over the entire camp below the mountain wall.

Lieutenant Consul Wolf, who quickly came to the temple, knelt on one knee and humbly saluted, "The Great! ”

With a pair of sharp eyes flickering, the so-called greenway city-state - the city of nature appeared in Sauron's eyes! So far, it's a dilapidated camp with no walls.

"The target, -- the Eagle strikes the territory of the Grand Canyon. 7 stars of loyalty. Food shortage, 2 stars for public security, 2 stars for population happiness, 8 stars for population density, and 2 stars for hygiene. ”

The data is just a reference, with the population size of the natural city, it can directly transition from a village to a town, or even directly complete the construction of a city.

"It's just that, compared with the construction of cities, the current five major regions are all facing a common dilemma. That is - famine! ”

Beneath the thick eyebrows were a pair of piercing eyes, full of sharp gazes, staring straight at Wolf's face.

Upon Zoro's inquiry, he learned that Rudolph, the archon of the City of Nature and the king of the greenway guards, swept away towards the hills north of the Alpha Forest with three thousand wolf clans.

"When the population is full and food supplies are scarce, war and plunder are the quickest way to solve the problem. But raiding a group of the lowest ant tribes, this ...... It's not enough! ”

The Savage Continent is a continent with fertile land, scattered races, and poor resources.

Prosperity needs to be based on population, but the existence of various negative factors restricts the progress of civilization in the barbarian continent. Among them, in addition to the annual migration of locusts in transit and the sweep of abyssal insects in winter, there are also man-eating beasts, Kodo beasts, mud monsters, Titans and other malignant monsters distributed throughout the barbaric continent.

The newly depicted map of the city-state shows that from the Red Grand Canyon to the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, all the way through the Alpha Forest to the City of Nature.

Within 500 miles of the entire empire, there were no other tribes except for the existence of one berserker tribe, which was a barren group.

Rudolph had no choice but to plunder a group of dwarf creatures that dwelled in the hilly crypts.

And under the shroud of famine, it is too late for large-scale war and plunder of ethnic tribes. But for the predation of other 'pest' species, it is the right time.

Zoro skimmed the wolf tone of Worf, the king of the wolf clan, and looked down as he gazed, like a silvery water when he gazed, and like a meteor flying away in the air and dragging light as he flowed.

"Worf, send out the wolf sentry and tell the trolls of the Hundred Demon Caves, as well as the dryads of the Dark Forest, that they can send their strongest warriors to set up ambushes along the banks of the Wolf Tooth River, as well as ...... Traps. ”

From the perspective of Wolf Clan Elder Worf, Zoro's eye sockets were deep at this time.

…………

Target - Kodo Plain.

Lush grass, flocks of wild animals, clear blue skies, and a clear moon-shaped lake that fell into Sauron's sight......

Fifty miles away from the city of nature, here is the Kodo Plain, which has also been turned into a bloodthirsty prairie by the wolf clan. And the reason why a fertile prairie has such a strange name is naturally because this area is very dangerous, and even terrified the entire wolf clan for a time.

Through the morning light, the sun rises over the horizon, painting the gray-blue sky in three colors: pink, orange-red, and golden yellow.

The breeze of the grassland is blowing, and the green waves are rolling. Looking at this scene, Zoro couldn't help but relax, but before he could rest for a while, he suddenly felt a "Boom, boom!" from under him. The sound of shaking.

Then came a heart-shaking roar that caused Zoro to raise his eyes in confusion.

Staring at the giant beast rolling on the grassland, at this moment, the wolf clan sentry opened his mouth as big as the mouth of a box, swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva one after another, as if his throat was dry, and reported worriedly, "Great, great...... This is Kodomon. The invincible ruler of the bloodthirsty steppes! ”

If the goal of a giant beast is to find food, then an isolated Kodo beast will raise its nose and look into the distance, trying to capture and analyze information from all sides, and carefully determine the direction of its progress.

However, when this Kodo beast merges into an entire herd, it will abandon all reconnaissance and thinking, and will safely trample, attack, and even devour all intruders in the fertile grasslands as the leader and the herd go crazy.

…………

From Sauron's point of view, the Kodomon was massive, with a triangular head below its spine. The ears are oval, the head is large and long, and the neck is short and thick. The mouth is generally lined with sharp teeth, and the long lips are extended and protruding. The head of each Kodomon will have a solid single horn or a long and a short double horn.

As Sauron's gaze continued to roll, he continued to summarize the physical characteristics of the Kodomon. "The legs are short, the body is stout, and the skin is thick and rough. The skin is stiff and folded at the shoulders and waist, and the hair is sparse and stiff, or mostly hairless. ”

"Roar~~~~"

A Kodomon galloped past two meters in front of him, and his keen perception told Zoro that Kodomon had not noticed the anomaly in the grass for the time being, and through his visual measurements, if it was not even the length of its tail, an adult Kodomon would be more than 5 meters long, but less than 2 meters tall at the shoulders. Combined with the length of the tail, it reaches a terrifying 8 meters.

The wolf clan Wolf is very familiar with the Kodo beasts, and can quickly tell the characteristics of these steppe beasts, many unknown characteristics.

With the exception of the older group leaders, Kodo beasts are generally sluggish in their minds, but their senses of sight, smell, and hearing are acute.

At the same time, they are synonymous with strength and unity, and when an attack is on the herd, Kodomons will immediately use their unrivaled size and strength to support them.

When provoked, Kodomons will even devour their enemies in one gulp.

According to the Wolf Elder, "Kodomon have a long lifespan and belong to the mounts of the ancient gods. These rampaging behemoths are powerful and ferocious. It can adapt to any environment, even without being disturbed by diseases and plagues. During the winter season, when food is scarce, these beasts return to their caves to hibernate on their own. ”

There's no denying that Zoro loves them. Despite their bulky size, these behemoths are still able to walk or run at a fairly fast pace.

If there is only one creature in the Savage Continent that has enough to carry an empire's expedition, it is the Kodomon, which is both powerful and enduring.

Unfortunately, these stubborn and ferocious beasts seem impossible to tame. At least, it seems so.

A Kodomon has a long lifespan...... It's long.

As for how long it was, even the wolf clan Worf, who was familiar with the steppe, was difficult to explain.

In Zoro's perspective, there was a pair of stern eyes under the gray and thick eyebrows on the elongated wolf face in front of him.

Even if his eyes wandered between the Kodomon, Wolf would unconsciously shrink his body, trying to keep a relatively safe distance from the beasts.

Later, Worf's sentence was, "The lifespan of Kodomons is long enough for their leaders and individual Kodomons to evolve the ability to speak." ”

This sentence alone made Sauron's instinctive breathing a lot heavier. "A giant beast can evolve the ability to communicate in language, and to a certain extent, this is enough to evolve a racial civilization."

Instinctively clenched the sword, and as soon as he exerted his strength at this moment, the green tendons on the back of his hand also bulged and became more obvious.

As for why Kodomons evolved into a civilization like the wolf race, Worf's explanation is. "It has to do with the male hormones secreted by his large body."

Excessive precipitation of male hormones can lead to dull minds, and on the other hand, this hormone is also the key to maintaining the body size of the giant beast.

"There is only one female beast in the Kodo herd."

With these words, Sauron felt as if he had been woken up in a dream, as if he had found a breakthrough, and his gaze groped back from the place where the Kodomon was galloping.

There is only one female beast in the herd, so that only a very small number of older and high-ranking Kodo beasts are eligible to have the right to mate.

Each time Jiao breeds, the excessive hormone secretion can be released, so that the intelligence level of a small number of Kodo beasts rises.

This also explains why so few of the Kodomon have been able to evolve language abilities. And the vast majority of Kodo beasts that do not have jiao allotment rights have always been 'beasts' that obey orders.

………

Any animal about the size of a human can be devoured in one bite.

In the horizon, tens of thousands of Kodo beasts, galloping and roaring, like angry and crazy beasts, surrounded from all directions, crushing or devouring some wild creatures by the lake in the blink of an eye.

Hiding in the half-human-tall grass, looking at the group of Kodo beasts in front of him, Sauron's mind tried his best to digest the information just now, "There is only one female beast, so the reproduction of Kodo beasts is very slow, this is an undeniable fact. ”

Imagine that you can only give birth once in the past five years, and you can give birth to about 20 at a time.

With such a poor birth, it is necessary to accumulate more than 30,000 Kodo beasts, and this Kodo beast group has experienced a long and astonishing period of time.

"Putting such an ancient and ferocious ethnic group on the menu to save the famine of its subjects can be regarded as a precedent for the Savage Continent."

The corners of his mouth were slightly outlined, and after a few seconds, the muscles of his face gradually became stiff. (To be continued.) )
