The autumn rain is not as delicate and gentle as the spring rain, nor as bold and warm as the summer rain, but it is so quiet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Standing at the door of the temple, in the eyes of the priest Jessica, all he could see was Sauron's long silver hair that was loose like a cloud of smoke, his pure white robes, and the token that was tucked between his slender fingers.

While lowering his head to check the internal affairs at hand, a few strands of long hair fell down, so that Jessica couldn't see his expression at this time.

The autumn rain outside the window had been falling all night and early in the morning. The Eagle King's official residence, in the planning of the Imperial Palace, was razed to the ground.

Zoro could only temporarily move into the temple for shelter. In fact, his room is separated from the sacrifice of Jessica by only one wall.

The busy government affairs made Zoro not notice Jessica, who had just walked in.

Staring at the daily daily government affairs, from under Zoro's towering eyebrows, two serious and meticulous glances were left.

"The Grand Canyon Archon and General Viado was killed in battle. 106 hussars survived, and the hussar corps was destroyed. ”

"Isa, the king of the Dryads, was killed in battle, and more than 8,000 Dryad warriors were wiped out."

"The soldiers of the Greenway Holy Order, more than 500 people have been killed."

The Kodo beast herd made the Sky Empire pay a heavy price of 10,000 people.

The profit in exchange is to sustain only one autumn of food, and a fertile grassland with no herd to graze.

The above information, between the frowns of Sauron's eyebrows, faintly contains a touch of solemnity. To be honest, he was not happy with such a result.

"Emperor, autumn is coming to an end!"

The voice made Zoro look back in alarm, and examined Jessica's face.

What he didn't expect was that this was just a casual glance, but he inadvertently saw those blue eyes. The color of the sea rests there silently, as if waiting for eternity.

Just for this eye to collide, just for this second to stay. It's a pity that after winning that glimpse of the shocking land, he can't keep time and eternity after all.

"It's you, my priest Jessica!"

"Emperor, this is a sign from the god of the sky!"

Just like the eyes just now, the two voices collided at the same time, making the two people who were hiding their embarrassment even more embarrassed.

Sacrificing Jessica, the femininity of her body is a special meaning.

It is mysterious, slowly touching the heartstrings, elusive and sacred, deep into the bone marrow, confusing and wanting to blaspheme.

Suddenly, I found that Jessica's changes are becoming more and more difficult to 'face'.

Sauron turned his gaze to the open temple door, and a peculiar smell of late autumn swept in from the outside, passing leisurely and soothing every sensitive nerve in him.

Diverting his attention and looking at the scene outside the temple made Zoro feel that every rain would bring joy to the children of every empire.

They frolic in the autumn rains, and they don't feel cold even when the rain wets their hair and clothes.

"My sacrifice, tell me what the foreshadowing of the god of the sky is!"

Children as young as 4 or 5 years old frolicking in the rain, 11 or 12-year-old teenagers jogging in the rain, and loud eagle roars in the direction of the training ground in the distance, all these are the embodiment of imperial power, and contain infinite possibilities.

As he spoke, Sauron pulled out a piece of wood in his hand.

Engraved on it, the last internal matter that he needs to deal with personally this month. The Eagleman's sword and pen engraved a very clear, concise and clear Greek text on it, "The Great, nearly eight thousand adult warriors, without wives. ”

Another difficult problem was in front of Sauron's eyes.

In the moment of contemplation, above Zoro's eyes, the two eyebrows were not too wide but thick and real, and the two horizontal ones were always like new scriptures that had been removed or painted.

"After the heavy rains, this autumn will end very quickly. And this short autumn will herald a long winter! ”

Hearing the priest's response, Zoro looked up, only to find that the other party had already turned away from the place with small and hurried steps.

In Zoro's perspective, Jessica's back, with her long and refreshing hair scattered, swayed back and forth with her steps, exuding a fresh and natural aura from the inside out, which was different from just now.

Even if Sauron wasn't smiling, there was a smile on his face at the moment, like the lingering sound of the autumn rain falling on the ground outside the temple.

Different perspectives on people or food can lead to different perceptions.

Keep a calm mind, and everything can return to normal.

Like the blue lake under the blue sky, Sauron's heart is filled with only exploration and conquering the unknown, like galloping and singing on a dark road.

As for sacrificing Jessica, Sauron prefers to take that strange feeling as an illusion of standing at an improper angle. Or rather, it's just an instinctive reaction of male hormones.

…………

Early in the morning, it's over.

The raindrops became smaller, and in their place was a scene of prosperity.

The sun sets off the city under Sauron's nose, the warriors are training, the slaves are starting to work, the freedmen are shuttling, and the hustle and bustle of the imperial city is even more vividly expressed in the word "prosperity".

"Residential groups, 9 stars of loyalty, 8 stars of population happiness, and 8 stars of hygiene."

A group of about 100 eagle warriors followed behind Sauron. Walk on a wide gravel path.

The overall data reflected in his eyes made Zoro feel relieved. Loyalty affects security, pleasure affects productivity, and hygiene should be about plague and disease.

It is an essential task to choose a different area every day and inspect it in person. After a few days of famine, life in Spartans returned to normal compared to the 3-star population joy of the previous days.

Strange around the corner, leaving the residential group where first-class citizens lived, and coming to the free people area.

"Free people's dwelling group, 7 stars of loyalty, 8 stars of population happiness, and 8 stars of hygiene."

Since the Grand Canyon is no longer on the scale it once was, and it takes two hours to inspect a large area, Sauron walks as briskly as the wind. Eyes wandered over the rows of dwellings, and Zoro was pleased with the overall stats. Compared with the Eagle Man, the Free Folk are two stars inferior to the Hawk People, and this phenomenon is understandable, after all, not everyone can be compared to the descendants.

"Goal - Free Residence, 0 stars for loyalty, 0 stars for joy, 8 stars for hygiene. There is a potential for rioting. ”

In front of a nondescript free dwelling. Sauron's steps stopped abruptly, and observing the data of the dwelling, his brow seemed to be pierced with two deep lines with a woodcut knife. The freedmen shared in agriculture, or handicrafts.

The exterior walls of ordinary houses are made of white reflective paint, which represents holiness.

Only single-storey houses generally have small window openings to keep warm and moisturize. Judging from the markings on the window openings, the free people who lived in it were engaged in handicrafts such as clothing.

Obviously, according to the law, the freedmen in this house must be removed.

Suddenly stop moving forward, leaving a team of eagle warriors, figuring out why. But at this very moment, every Hawkman warrior heard a command in his ears. "Guards, go in and cut off the heads of these rebels!"

"Hawkman...... What do you do? ”

Seeing someone break into their dwellings, the freedmen couldn't believe their eyes.

When he saw the bright sword blade and the hideous smile of the Eagle Man Guards under the heavy helmet, he seemed to realize something, and the moment he was in a hurry was like a thunderbolt on the head, and his stiff body seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, and his hands groped in a panic, knocking down five or six bottles and cans on the wooden shelf.

"Y-what do you want to do?"

As he regressed, the Freeman stared at a pair of dilated pupils as he watched the Hawkman approach.

The sharp blade was getting closer and closer, which made his whole body a little numb.

In every freeman's dwelling, there was an upright loom leaning against the wall. Spinning hemp and wool-like things, producing clothing.

In addition to looms, in this house, there are molds for the production of pottery. Freedmen with a file in their hands.

In a panic, the freedmen turned and tried to get out.

From the perspective of the Hawkman Heavy Guards, the Free Folk's hair was a little long, almost blocking his eyes, and only through the gaps in his hair could he see two slightly frightened glances.

"Suffer death!" On the other hand, a battle-hardened eagle warrior, the gaze under the heavy helmet reveals an extreme cruelty, ruthless ferocity and bloodthirsty excitement, and anyone who sees such a gaze will have a cold chill oozing from the back of his spine.

Another eagle-man warrior quietly burst in from the outside without a sound and quickly pounced.

With little effort, he pierced the blade of his sword through the back of the freedman, and then drew his sword with great speed, and then, after hearing the other man's miserable cry, the blood on his body gushed out like a fountain of heat.

Poof, with a sword from Lisso, he cut off the head. In an instant, the unprocessed yellow mud on the operating table was dyed red.

Walking out of the dimly lit house, with a blood-dripping head in one hand, the steps of the Eagle Man warrior were heavy and steady.

At the same time, there was also a piece of wood that the Hippogriff had found and handed it into Sauron's hands.

"Carrying an unbearable burden like a donkey."

"Subjected to violent oppression."

"The fruit of hard work."

"Half of it will be sent to the master's barnhouse."

Struggling to make out the scribbled handwriting on the wood chips, it was clear from the lines that Sauron was right. This free man, he is spreading discontent to others.

"The rise of the Sky Empire is not easy to come by, and such a latent risk must be eradicated in time." Eyes flickered across the bloodied skull, and Sauron's face looked calm and alert.

Sauron will not tolerate anyone's sabotage of the foundations of the empire he has created.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. From this incident, it can be seen that not everyone is suitable for this empire.

Putting away the 'incriminating evidence' in his hand, there was a cloud-like and hazy murderous aura around Zoro's eyes, which seemed unfathomable, mysterious and cold.

"Go, kill all the freedmen who have a close relationship with this man."

This commanding voice sounded unmistakable.

More and more Hawkman Heavy Helmets have arrived in the Free People area.

In short, Zoro's order sounded more like a suppression of a riot. Although this riot will not happen in time!

…………

"The Empire granted these men the status of freemen and distributed a sufficient amount of food every day. But in exchange for only complaints...... Parrots and underground gnomes, who are timid by nature and are born to know only obedience, seem to have more potential to become free people. ”

Watch as more and more freedfolk are blasted out of the house by the Hawkmen and taken away in chains.

Sauron's eyes twitched at his sideburns, though only a few of them were rebellious. But he knew in his heart that as the Empire waged war against foreign countries, the burden on the freedmen might become more and more heavy.

The Eagle Man was not productive, and in times of transition, had to maintain absolute control over the freedmen and slaves.

"There is no need for any doubt, for to lead this empire is to bloodily suppress the revolt of the freedmen and slaves, and to nifle all risks in the cradle."

Commanding the Hawkmen warriors to break into the Free Folk area, Sauron's eyes became firm, "That's why the Hawks need an army that is strong, obedient, cruel, bloodthirsty, and courageous. ”

In Sauron's eyes, the average eagle boy from the age of 7 demanded absolute obedience to his leader, and demanded increased courage, physical strength, and cruelty.

In order to train the children in obedience and patience, they were whipped once a year during their worship on festivals before they reached adulthood.

They knelt before the temple, and their fiery whips rained down, but they were not allowed to beg for mercy or shout.

Every Hawkman first-class citizen, fighting for the Empire is not only an obligation, but also a right.

Eagle people, except for the military, are not allowed to engage in other livelihoods, otherwise they will be reduced to slaves!

The Eagle Man has admired the spirit of force since ancient times, and the entire Eagle Man society is equivalent to a large military camp with strict management. Arming a standard Hawkman warrior will cost about 80 pounds of metal in addition to the time it takes to sharpen. It consists of a 2 to 3 meter spear, usually made of iron in the shape of a leaf, and the cuirass will become standard equipment.

Half an hour later, Sauron left the cleared freedfolk area to inspect the Empire's current stockpiles.

"Emperor, the problem of food can last for a while, but the priest told us. With autumn coming to a fast end, this winter is going to be long. ”

Elder Hawkman's words were exactly what Zoro was thinking of at the moment.

Therefore, in addition to the hoarding of heating materials such as wood, warm clothing for the winter is particularly important. While the Hawkmen are not afraid of the cold by nature, it is not just the Hawkmen that make up the foundation of this empire. There were many more freemen and slaves. (To be continued.) )
