Chapter 048: Suspicion
Sauron is flying slower and slower, and if he continues like this, it won't be long before he will be caught up quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Turning around, dragging his prostrated body and facing the two eagle clans at the same time, it made Zoro feel an inexplicable chill on his body.
The moment of determination to face death made Zoro feel like time was slowing down.
It seems that there is a faint pain in his heart, the indifferent sourness in his eyes, and the oncoming wind and snow seem to be the only proof of him in this world.
"Death is not terrible! Everyone will die, for as long as it lasts. It's just a pity to die in a meaningless accident. ”
When he sneered, Zoro's eyes seemed to have ice flowers fluttering, and there was only disillusionment and despair in his heart.
It turns out that the other side of life is not death.
Death exists in life itself at the moment of its birth. It's just that no one dares to face death.
There are more eagle figures active in the sight, galloping forward.
When he was about to use his last strength to fight for his life, there was a sudden flash of light in front of Zoro.
It was a white spear.
"Eagle strikes the sky—"
The sound was deafening, and it reverberated noisily. A low shadow hung over this small piece of sky.
Sauron sounded, and there was probably no other sound in the world more pleasing to the ear! Although he once disdained these so-called four words.
In the horizon, Weavers rode alone, quickly swept in front of Sauron, the long sword drew two circles beside him, and in the blink of an eye, the two eagles who galloped towards him let out a scream like killing a pig.
It was found that there were nearly a hundred eagle clans in the sky galloping towards here. Weavers' thick eyebrows were hidden deep in a pair of burning eyes, and the next second he turned around, and the next second he stretched his arm forward, he heard a 'whoosh', and Sauron was lying on his back.
"Ji ————"
Witness the prey that is about to arrive and suddenly escape. Somewhere in the unknown sky, there was a high-pitched, desolate, long, loud roar.
Nearly a hundred eagle clans flew like arrows from the string, chasing after them like sharp arrows.
How long the Great Escape from one person to two people took place, Zoro doesn't remember very much.
All he remembered was that at the moment when his consciousness was blurring, he saw Weavers and heard the familiar cry of the Hawkman Warrior in his vision.
The body collapsed to the point that it had no strength. The feeling of the world spinning instantly came up, and in the darkness, it seemed to be in the depths of the sea of clouds, and it was like catkins fluttering in the wind.
His feet were as limp as noodles, and his thoughts were like a pool of stagnant water in the dark night, stagnant and unable to make any waves.
Lying quietly on the back of the Eagle Warrior, everything around him had nothing to do with him, and Sauron fell into a silent slumber like a rotten log.
……
…………
"My king!"
The long and soft tone seems to be singing, discharging endless worries, adding a touch of sorrow to people's hearts.
Sauron, who was asleep, was awakened by the voice.
The human beauty in front of her is called Jessica, and her long hair is fluttering in her vision, as smooth and soft as a wave. She threw her hair down and made the sun's rays jealous.
There's no denying it. Jessica's figure is light and delicate. Especially at this moment, in Zoro's eyes, she seemed to become more feminine.
The elastic and towering chest outlines the plain white robe more holy, but this makes Jessica look more noble and seductive.
But no matter how great the temptation of this form is, Sauron thinks that he still has this bit of self-control.
"My king, you have finally woken up. Thanks to Jessica's careful care. ”
Passing over the face of an eagle man, he turned his gaze to look around, the pillars of the fine stone texture, the relief of the girl with a graceful demeanor, and the white frieze and the soft angle of light......
If there is no mistake in judgment, this is the mansion of the Eagle King in the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon. Is Jessica in front of her the pet of the Eagle King's sacrifice, or his wife?
"Jessica, how long have I been asleep?"
Returning to the 'civilized world' and struggling to survive in a dangerous situation seems to have become very far away.
But the real memory made Zoro determined that he would not easily take risks in the future. At the same time, he asked this sentence to understand how much time had been lost in a senseless coma.
"My king, you were attacked by the hateful Eagle Clan, and that happened yesterday."
Jessica seemed to be smiling, and under her long eyelashes, her eyes were focused on clear waves, and with each turn, she radiated infinite holiness and infinite softness.
Especially in her ocean-like deep blue eyes, a trace of soft resentment condensed.
It may not be an intentional gaze, but it sets off her reserved, fair cheeks, which can make Zoro have a strange sense of hot and itchy in the bottom of his heart.
Especially, at this moment, the Eagle Man left with great interest, and there was no one else here at this moment. Between the empty columns, and in the white curtains, there was a hot and humid wind sweeping through.
"Jessica, your beauty is unbearable."
Not ready to accept the touch from the palm of the hand, and the unprovoked word, with a provocative tendency, which is not only playful, but also can sublimate the ambiguity in a moment.
Met Sauron's eyes like electricity, or a look full of teasing. Jessica was slightly stunned, a panicked heart seemed to jump out, and a layer of bright red burned on her cheeks that were touched by the palm.
Compared with the previous style, the performance of the Eagle King Sacrifice today is simply like the past. The past day and night get along, so this surprise can't escape Jessica's eyes no matter what.
For a moment, Jessica's eyes lit up with surprise and horror, but there were two lights of surprise and fear between them, trying to avoid Zoro's gaze.
It wasn't until long after Zoro had left that she was still a little unsettled.
No one knew what Jessica was thinking, and from the maid's point of view, she could only see her always reserved face, slightly moved.
When she was quiet, the pair of eyes made her face look holy, helpless, and bitter.
For the sake of the prosperity and long-term development of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, Jessica, as the captive pet and future sacrifice of the Eagle King, must remain a pure virgin.
No matter how grumpy the Eagle King sacrifice is on weekdays, Jessica can only endure it. And the reason why the Eagle King Sacrifice didn't touch this pet around him that made him very greedy.
But in another sentence, "If Jessica loses her virginity, then she is no longer a perfect sacrifice, and her fate will no longer have such preferential treatment." ”
……
It is undeniable that ambiguity is always very close, and it can always be so casual, and a casual word and a special look can be satisfied.
Thinking of the scene just now, Jessica's fair face turned pale and gradually turned red.
Leaving the unfamiliar Eagle King's mansion, Sauron hadn't been rippling for a long time, but there was a slight ripple. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and sighed softly, "It's a pity." ”
Zoro thoughtfully and showed several forehead lines symbolizing wisdom on his eagle man's forehead.
Smooth lines outline the contours of the cheeks, handsome and slightly resolute in the eyes of the eagle. There was silence and peace in a pair of silver eyes, "A withered love can be obtained through power, but it is only a flower that has never really bloomed by absorbing the nutrients of nature." ”
"Not only love, but also wealth, these are just a branch of rights, and the connotation of rights is far greater than the first two."
Power equals everything.
Sometimes, love is nothing more than a haggard woman with two small children in tow on the street.
At least, that's what Zoro thinks so far. Because even in his previous life, he didn't have time to really experience a decent love.
……
Walking out of the Eagle King's mansion and standing on the white steps, Sauron's eyes suddenly became brighter, with a panoramic view of the busy, noisy, and prosperous Eagle Strike Grand Canyon.
A large number of slaves, gathered together, divided into several queues under the watchful eye of the eagle overseer, shuttled and walked in different directions.
The neat buildings and scaffolding have been upgraded from the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon to the city, and a large number of buildings need to be renovated and expanded on the original basis.
Pretending to inspect the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon, and returning to the Eagle King's territory, which was also under construction, Sauron unfolded a hide and marked the surrounding area of the territory.
On this more formal map, he marked the words 'northern boundary, eastern boundary, splitting mountain waterfall', and 'western boundary'.
After completing this, Zoro carefully studied for a while, raised the pen and carefully put the pen on the unfinished painting, his wrist was flexibly bent, and the green tendons on the back of his hand became more and more obvious, on the originally flat white scroll, when the black lines were handed over little by little, Zoro continued to extend the southern boundary of the Eagle King's territory.
And at the end, the words 'Eagle Threat' are emphatically dropped.
The four borders of the Eagle King's territory, and a huge ice field, are all in one swing. Sauron finally handed the map into the hands of Pesci and instructed, "Draw more copies of this map." Delivered to Rudolph. ”
In order to guard the borders of the Eagle King's territory and prevent the invasion of the Eagle Clan, Zoro felt that it was necessary for the army and his subjects to raise some necessary precautions.
Not only did two-thirds of the legions of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon follow the Great Chief to pursue the Wyvern and did not return, but the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon and the Eagle King's territory are currently in an important transition period, and there are a large number of buildings that need to be built and renovated. It will become extremely important to prevent the invasion, harassment and destruction of the eagle clan.
Especially with the rapid growth of population, elevated aqueducts, sewage canals, houses, bathhouses, mills, kitchens and other supporting living facilities are more important affairs.
In general, governing a territory is sometimes not as simple as it seems.
Behind the strength of war, there is always a need for strong logistics and the prosperity of the entire territory to support.
……
During this period, Sauron did not have the time to spare, nor did he have enough energy to take revenge on the eagle tribes roaming the southern border.
"Now it seems...... I had to let this group of savage and lowly inferior creatures be active for a while. ”
The most exhausting thing is often not the distance of the journey, but the depression in the heart.
Zoro reached out and rubbed his brow, relieving the fatigue of his eyes. At this moment, there are still two people waiting next to his desk, which means that there are at least two more things waiting for him to deal with in person.
Garrys, the architect, carried five or six drawings in one arm. He glanced at Rudolph beside him and said first, "My king! 5,000 helots are already in place. If there are no problems with the design drawings, the construction of the city wall and tower defense will officially start today, and the construction period is expected to take three months. ”
Standing loose, straight but not curved, the architect Garrys's face is filled with confidence.
The exuberant smile on his face, as well as his tireless energy, sometimes made Zoro feel a little envious.
But after careful consideration, Sauron decided to make some changes to his previous plan.
In Garys's sight, there seemed to be a bitter smile on the lips of the Eagle King's sacrifice.
Seeing the corners of Zoro's mouth twitch, Gareth immediately concentrated and waited for orders.
"Garys, probably you also know that the development of the territory and the construction of city defenses are all based on population." Sauron paused, glanced at Rudolph, who was close his eyes and recuperated, and guessed his intentions in his heart, but continued to say, "If our population swells rapidly in three months' time, reaching the size of a city. So we have just built an earthen wall, do we have to tear it down and rebuild it? ”
The freckles on Garys's face are peculiar, not irregularly distributed on both sides of the nose, but evenly distributed across half of the face.
The color and size are almost the same, and it looks like an architectural drawing.
The population of the Eagle King's territory exceeded eighty thousand in three months, reaching the size of a city. …… It was something that Gareth could not have imagined.
You must know that the entire Eagle Strike Grand Canyon has experienced more than half a year of development, and the population has only just increased by 10,000.
With the population base of 3,000 eagle people stationed in the Eagle King's territory, let alone 100,000, even now, it is no longer able to bear more slaves, which is an indisputable fact.
"It is not advisable to raise the size of the population through captives and slaves. In case of a slave revolt......" Gary tried to persuade as he thought in his heart, but it occurred to him that it did not seem to be within his purview.
So, under the gaze of Sauron, the architect Gayres simply dutifully replied, "Yes, my king! ”
Hearing Garys's answer, a smile appeared on the Eagle King's sacrificial face.
And he also knew about the current population development. Zoro himself is not an Eagle Man, and establishing a territory on one side of the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon and building an army of absolute allegiance would be useful to Sauron and would help him accept the rights of the entire Eagle Strike Grand Canyon. And he also thinks that sooner or later, his identity as the sacrifice of the Eagle King will have a day of goofing.
Unfolding the scroll drawings handed over by Garys, leaning down from the table, Sauron stared at the architectural drawings with his gaze fixed, "Garys, you are an experienced architect, no matter what the cost, according to the size of the city, start construction directly from the megalithic wall."
