Chapter 042: Occupation
A carpet search was carried out for the entire town of Onyx. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Sauron's instructions were: not to let go of one. Ares strictly executed the lord's orders.
Later, Sauron arrives at the town square in the town of Agate River.
Looking at the majestic stone pillars, the tall stone monuments of merit, and the afterimages refracted by the sun, it seems that they are still telling the glory of Baron Abraham, the lord of the town of Agate.
Scene after scene of majestic buildings, Sauron felt sorry, "Unfortunately, as the town of Agate River has become a land of ruins, all the glory of the Baron family of Agate River Town for hundreds of years has also vanished. ”
"It's Valentine, follow me!"
Before Sauron could give the order, Thorin led a group of dwarven warriors, followed in the footsteps of the bandit leader Valentine, and rushed into the former lord's mansion in Onyx River Town.
The rest of the people soon surrounded the whole square.
In the gap in time between the capture of Valentine, Zoro stared at the square.
In sight, there were about 200 'slaves', each of them on ropes, male and female, generally unkempt and ragged. Looking at the corpse of the unclothed woman on the side, Zoro quickly understood what was going on here.
His gaze swept over the slaves with skull marks on their faces one by one, and he carried out the merciful quality of a lord, "Valentine's victims, I am the baronial lord of the Dragon Court Woodlands. From now on, you will be free again. And Valentine, the leader of the evil bandits, I will let him get the punishment he deserves. ”
According to the kingdom's contract law, civilians are not qualified to talk to a liege, let alone look directly into the eyes of the lord without the lord's permission.
So these slaves who have regained their free bodies just kneel and kowtow to express their gratitude.
They touch the ground with their palms, and their palms are positive and negative, but their heads must be knocked to the ground to show respect for a lord, especially this just lord of the Dragon Court Woodland, who is also their savior.
Zoro motioned to the guard officer Leon to untie the men. As for the whereabouts of these people, he did not have any suggestions.
Now that the population of the Dragon Court Woodland is full, Sauron allows these slaves who have regained their freedom to choose their fate freely. It can be called justice, but it can also be said to be helpless.
Because he knows that the chances of these people surviving in the wild are very slim at the moment.
A fight came from the five-story lord's mansion in Onyx River Town.
Valentine was a cunning villain, and in case of an accident, Sauron ordered the militia to surround the lord's residence.
However, at this moment, Sauron did not expect that from the slave just now, an incongruous voice came to his ears from the slave who untied the rope.
"Thank you, Yasuo, Lord of the Dragon Court Woodlands. I, Tilles, owe you two lives. ”
Following the direction of the voice, Zoro noticed that he couldn't see through the other party's basic attributes. And because the other party was wearing a hooded cloak, it didn't attract much attention from Sauron before. Now, as the slaves dispersed automatically, Zoro saw that the other party's hands and feet were actually locked by chains as thick as a child's arm.
In addition, the other party obviously suffered a more serious leg injury not long ago. The three arrows were sunk deep into the flesh and have not been taken out until now.
"Bold, untouchable!"
The reckless words of the other party just now fell on the ears of the guard officer Leon, like a needle prick. And with his reprimand, two town militiamen soon ran forward and pressed their spears against each other's necks.
Sauron did not order the man's arteries to be cut, but only looked the other party up and down, and after a slight mutter, he said with interest, "Dare to call a baron lord by his name, which means that your identity is unusual. But don't thank me, even if I restore your freedom, the arrow wound on your leg will not be enough to sustain you until dawn. ”
Listening to Zoro's words, the other party's neck was always low, and he slowly raised his head. said that it was a pleading, but the flat tone was like a glass of boiled water.
"That's why I said I owe you two lives."
Because of excessive blood loss, or perhaps with an anesthetic on the arrowhead, the mysterious man named Tilles, his eyes were glazed, and after saying these words, his strength was obviously exhausted.
At the end of the day, Sauron is not a merciful lord nobleman, nor is he a cold and heartless man. Tilles' body carries a dark temperament and a sense of mystery, which arouses his curiosity.
The eye made contact with the face that had just been twisted. Zoro's indifferent cheeks didn't have an overly rich expression, but there was a layer of permission in his eyes.
Saving the life of a professional is, in the end, a good deal.
Later, Sauron ordered a simple bandaging of his treatment.
The guard officer Leon dismounted, carrying a healing first aid package on his body. It's just that I didn't expect that the stranger named Tilles, who had just pulled out the arrow on the other party's leg, had completely fainted.
And this is exactly what Leon wants, giving him a good opportunity to search his body thoroughly.
With Leon's thorough body search, it seemed to Zoro that he probably wouldn't find anything. Because it is impossible for greedy slave traders not to do the same thing.
experienced such an episode. As Thorin walked out of the gate of the lord's mansion with a furious face, the dwarven warrior behind him, like dragging a dead pig, brought the bloodied Valentine to the Lord of the Dragon Woodland.
At this point, Zoro used the long sword in his hand to raise the other party's chin, and the corners of his mouth were crooked with a faint smile.
"Valentine, a despicable man of repute, are you ready, and the light will last forever!"
Valentine, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and a sword wound cut out of his face, suddenly raised his head, he stared at the smiling cheeks of the Dragon Court Woodland Lord Sauron, and his nose was sore, and the crystal tears couldn't stop rolling down.
"Wise and great lord, leave me a lowly life, and I can bring you untold riches, I beg you...... Ahh
If Valentine was a man who dared to face death, Sauron would have given him a good time. Sadly, with the 'title' of a cunning villain on his head, he not only left his back on the battlefield and turned away, but at such a time, he also delusionally imagined that he could continue to live in the world.
For such people, Zoro will not be soft.
So Sauron just sent the blade in his hand lightly forward, and Valentine's other eye was completely and bright.
Then, two dwarven warriors cut the arteries on Valentine's two arms.
Then, as if throwing a dead pig, it was still on the side.
Looking at Valentine, who was spilled with blood and rolling all over the ground, everyone thought that even a trace of pity and sympathy for this cunning villain was a blasphemy against two words.
Next, it's time to leave the town of the Agate River. But before leaving, Sauron hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip.
Information from the Dwarven Master Isol: More than 3,000 sets of high-quality heavy infantry weapons and armor from the hands of the Grey Dwarves are stored in the secret underground warehouse of the lord's residence.
Leading a group of people, he walked into the hall of the lord's mansion.
Sauron found that this place was clearly much more imposing than his lord's mansion. Everything in Agate River Town was destroyed by arson, but the lord's residence was not damaged. This shows that Mains, the chief of the trolls tribe, is a person who knows how to enjoy.
In the hall of the lord, twenty-eight pillars are displayed.
Each pillar is wrapped in a colourful blanket, interspersed with embroidered streamers, and a variety of cut-and-paste tales about the Baron family in Agate River.
