"Tell the trolls to start cutting down the timber immediately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Also, select 10,000 hard-working workers from among the slaves, give them the status of freemen, and immediately start storing supplies for the winter! ”

The Elder of the Eagle Man received the order and engraved the order on the wood chips with a knife and pen. And for Zoro, there are always a lot of internal affairs like this, like daily tasks, every day.

Sometimes, being a ruler is not as simple as conquering foreign countries and waging war.

Only prosperity and prosperity are the basis for the strong rise of an empire.

Abandoning the Greek style and wrapping the fluffy cotton garment seemed to protect the subjects from the long, bitter winter that was coming. Except for the eagle people, the daily clothing of others is mostly made of rectangular fabrics that are not cut or stitched, and are worn by basic methods such as draping, winding, pinning and strapping on the body, and are generally woven with materials such as wool or linen.

…………

It was only after a night or two that the autumn frost began to cover the plains, and the cold snap was blocked on the eastern side of the splitting mountain for a short time, allowing the late autumn to soothe the plains for the last time.

The dark jungle is harvesting sparkling grapes. Passing through the vineyards located inside the city walls, on a relatively high ground, a row of small houses enclosed a small courtyard - here is the newly built wine kiln. A cool breeze blows, and from this direction, it always exudes an enticing fragrance.

Fruits, cereals, olive oil, wine, are the four pillars of agriculture.

In the current period of population explosion, it is necessary to pay attention to and develop its own food production.

Standing on the wall near the city gate, Sauron's face was like moonlight, which made people feel a chill. He stared squarely at the churning fog in the distance, slowly broken through by the midday daylight, gradually revealing a blue sky.

This face without resolute fairness, lined with a pair of silver eyeballs, looks like a stone statue when it is motionless. staring at the scene on the horizon, the corners of his mouth said to himself, "This autumn, sure enough, it passed quickly." Jessica's foreshadowing is always correct. ”

As far as the eye can see, the fertile land has been eroded by the climate, and the weeds that have been washed yellow by the autumn frost are like a virgin decorated with a golden veil, with a creamy yellow body exposed, dancing and swaying from side to side in the bleak autumn wind.

The autumn sun standing in the distance on the top of the mountain is like a mighty god of war, shaking off the blood-stained robe and splashing in the grass.

The waterfall is still rushing until the streams that seep into the bottom of the mountain are filled with countless ripples. Whimpering outward, from the past to the present, from the distant past, to the vast future.

"Winter is coming, so what should come should also come!"

Illuminated by the late autumn sun, Zoro's face glowed with a toned red glow.

At this moment, as if in response to his self-talk, a deep, distant beast roar suddenly entered his eardrums.

That's the west, in the direction of the Red Grand Canyon!

"To the west of the Grand Canyon, there are large herds of beasts."

In the next minute, the scout's report fell into Zoro's ears. As for the exact number, the scouts are just a return, "dense - countless!" ”

Hearing this, Zoro reflexively pulled the corners of his mouth, a trace of helplessness, and tried his best to hide under the seemingly indifferent smile.

It seemed to be funny, but it was actually a bitter smile, and the hidden lines on his face were squeezed a few times, but in the end, he didn't laugh at all.

"At the cost of 10,000 men, I took down the Kodo herd. Soon after, the annual migration of beasts broke out. ”

The corners of Sauron's mouth were slightly bent downward, outlining a bit of helplessness and Spartan fierceness.

"Weavers!" A call.

The sky beckoned, stepping on a crystal symbol, and the figure of Weavers fell to one knee.

"From now on, the security and defense of the empire will all be taken over by the Celestial Wing Holy Order. Gather the rest of the Eagle Warriors, as well as the able-bodied slaves, and head to the Grand Red Canyon. For the Empire, harvest food stocks for the winter! ”

Weavers raised his head slightly, and fell into his view, Zoro's nose was thin, strong, handsome, and straight. It adds handsomeness and majesty to this resolute facial contour.

"Yes, Emperor!"

Staring at the back of Weavers' quick departure.

In Sauron's sight, about 100 ballistas, lined up, slowly rolled out of the weapons warehouse.

The invention of the ballista, a repeater named the "Scorpion Crossbow" by Sauron, was almost a landmark weapon:

It is constructed to store spare arrows in a V-shaped 'magazine'.

Through the reciprocating motion of a set of gears and chains, the preparation, loading, and firing of the ballista are automated, and the degree of precision is amazing.

The Romans invented this technology, but unfortunately, it was saddled with the notoriety of "wasting ammunition", and after a flash in the pan of Rome, it quickly disappeared.

Until Sauron was re-perfected.

In Sauron's eyes, wood, metal, animal tendons, and ropes could combine such a powerful weapon.

The source of this power is not gunpowder, which is perhaps the best expression of human creativity.

……

Leave where you were and walk down the wall.

In his sight, his front and back legs swung to the side at the same time, and the bouncing dryad attendant handed a piece of wood to Zoro's hand.

(Thirty thousand dryads, most of whom are female.) Thanks to the Glorious Queen's sympathy, the dryads were given the exclusive profession of squire. ）

Chosen to be Sauron's squire, the Dryad's name is Morning Dew.

Just like her name, Morning Dew looks young and tame. And from the upper body like a human to the lower body like a deer, it is covered with a layer of flowing light veil.

Under the supple bangs, the curved eyebrows loom out. Those big, round eyes were extraordinarily bright, blinking like a child.

That pretty face while facing Aaron. From time to time, there will be a faint flush.

Taking the wooden slip with one hand, Sauron glanced at it, and the care of the glorious queen made him feel relieved at the same time. This daily routine, which he needed to deal with personally, made Sauron's calm silver eyes carry a certain kind of profound aura. "The Glorious Queen was not just a brilliant consul. At the same time, she is also a careful woman. Because of her, the entire city-state can function better. ”

Five minutes later, under the leadership of a special person, the widow of General Viardo, a woman who had just become a mother, stood in front of Zoro.

"The Great!"

In sight, the young mother bowed, then shook her body and patted the baby in her arms with her hand, muttering a lullaby in her mouth, and the things around her seemed to become sleepily quiet. Her gaze at the baby made Zoro feel serene, peaceful, and infinitely motherly.

In an upright holding position, Zoro took the baby from the mother's hand, and let him sit on one of his forearms, and the other hand supported the baby's head, neck and back, so that the baby's **** was close to the chest and shoulders.

Falling into the arms of strangers, the baby does not seem to be afraid, but struggles with big eyes like autumn water, as if there are many small question marks hidden inside.

From these flickering, clear eyes, Sauron saw the shadow of an eagle-man warrior wearing a heavy helmet and a shield and carrying a spear.

This is not only the blood of a general, but also the son of the entire empire!

Symbolizes the prosperity and hope of the empire!

"I will give a name to the blood of heroes! From this day on, his name is Aikman.

Zoro's name made the young mother cry with joy, and at the same time, the body of the Eagle Man Elder on the side was inexplicably shaken.

Later, on his wooden slab, he wrote down the name and carved a key '∧' mark on the back of the name.

…………

Large herds migrate over certain distances due to breeding, foraging, climate change, etc.

Not only the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, but the barbarian tribes of the entire Barbarian Continent seem to be looking forward to the arrival of this great migration of beasts.

The herds migrated from the west to the east of the Barbarian Continent for food, nibbling away all the greenery in their paths and bringing winter rations to the various barbarian tribes.

To the west of the Red Grand Canyon, the migration of thousands of ungulate beasts is spectacular enough to subvert one's perception of nature.

The herds participating in the great migration are divided into "three armies" in the front, middle and rear, with more than 200,000 four-hoofed wildebeest horses at the lead, followed by millions of running oxen, and 500,000 running antelopes behind the palace.

When the western part of the Savage Continent is covered every winter, millions of herbivorous wild animals form a migratory army and march through the desert Gobi Desert through the Red Grand Canyon to the east.

And this is just the first wave of the great migration of beasts!

"The Savage Continent, because of the great migration of beasts, has become vibrant."

"At the same time, because of the great migration of the herds, they have become barbaric and backward. The Red Grand Canyon is the end, and from now on, there will be no large-scale migration of beasts in the Savage Continent. ”

A grim command heralds the imminent destruction of millions of living beings.

Entering the Grand Canyon, Weavers could already hear the rushing beasts that shook the heavens and the earth, but at this time, he was greeted by a milky white mist.

The milky white mist, spilling out of the canyon one by one, slowly overflowed the mountain wall, scattering into a gentle thin sand, fluttering and shrouding the hidden killing machine, and the entire Grand Canyon.

While breathing in the fresh air, Weavers stood at the top of the Grand Canyon and looked down, the Gobi in the distance was kicked by the herd of beasts, more than 200,000 four-hoofed wildebeests, millions of running bulls, and 500,000 running antelopes behind the palace.

Nearly two million beasts have formed a great spectacle, which is comparable to and surpasses the galloping atmosphere of tens of thousands of Kodo beasts.

The Great Migration of the Herd is a show that is staged every year in the Savage Continent, but the migration route will not deviate from it every year.

More than 200,000 hungry, thirsty, and exhausted four-hoofed wildebeest are entering the Red Grand Canyon, which is what Weavers saw.

Weavers stared at the wildebeest galloping through the canyon below. A pair of sharp eyes circled around the black torrent.

"Shoot the arrows!" With a loud shout, the scene of the slaughter of the Kodo beast is being re-staged in the Red Grand Canyon.

But for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of such herds, the slaughter process will be incomparably long and bloody.

The massacre lasted for 3 days.

Until the arrows were gone, the physical strength of the warriors and slaves was unsustainable, and the corpses of the beasts filled half of the red canyon.

Of the nearly two million herds, only 30% of the lucky ones were able to pass through the Red Grand Canyon.

But even so, when Wolf came to support with the wolf soldiers, across the west side of the Wolf Tooth River, the grass was almost gnawed by the beasts, and the long crawl had already made the beasts hungry.

If this continues, when the second and third waves of larger beasts arrive, not only the plains, but also the entire Alpha Forest will be devoid of grass.

"Wolf cubs, hunting is your favorite thing to do, and it's going to be a carnival."

Wolf Wolf let out a wolf howl.

The whites of his eyes like hard-boiled eggs can better set off the unique eyes of the wolf clan, his eyes that gradually turned crimson, and his direct transformation into the wolf king, and the action of running, made the beasts want to escape from him, and exuded endless fear.

The 10,000 wolf tribes brought by Wolf have a strong ability to hunt and drive away these small herds of herbivores, especially in the vast plains.

When the herd was fenced and rushed in one direction, 100 scorpion ballistas lined up and fired wildly at the herd.

The ground is full of blood, dyeing the earth red, and interpreting the law of nature to the extreme.

At the same time, it will also indicate that the empire will have a good harvest.

The hair, skin, tendons, horns, teeth, and flesh produced by the herd, these supplies and food stores will fill up all the warehouses of the four city-states!

This will be a food reserve that can last for a year, or even years.

At the same time, in Sauron's vision, the red blood dyed the entire river of wolf's teeth red.

"In the entire barbaric continent, every barbarian tribe and barbarian race with a large population but no production, even fierce beasts like ogres and titans, have to take advantage of the great migration of beasts to hunt in large quantities to survive. If all the beasts are intercepted and slaughtered here, then the entire barbarian continent will cause a severe famine. ”

In Sauron's eyes, slaughtering the herd with all his might was not just for food storage, but had risen to a strategic level.

In the barbaric continent with backward civilization, only food is the most circulating currency and the most precious resource.

Seeing a terrifying, large-scale slaughterhouse in his eyes, but not moving, always bringing the dryad attendant Morning Dew, an unusually indifferent and cold feeling. It scared her, and even her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

After all, in the knowledge of a dryad who loves life and nature, he has never seen such terrible blood, even if it is only a herd. Staring at the millions of corpses, trembling with fear, the Dryad Squire's heart kept recalling a belief in death in the Dryad Tribe's heart. )
