Sauron understood what the dwarf Thorin meant. www.biquge.info population is an important resource that is growing slowly but is significant. From the moment Zoro first saw the Dragon Court Woodland, it became a problem that bothered him.

"Mercy and kindness are good qualities. But if this excellent quality can bring benefits to Longting Woodland, then there is no reason not to follow it. Behringer, take my brooch, go back and tell Ares to do his best to accommodate the refugees from the four major towns. ”

Now is the time for a rapid population expansion. It is a pity that it is on the basis of harming the interests of other lords and nobles. Even Zoro has nothing to do about this. If the armies of the four major towns have collapsed or are collapsing, then the rear territories will be under the prying eye and threat of trolls. Instead of giving the population to the trolls as food, it is better to use it to enrich the Dragon Court woodland. As for the time to save the other four town lords, Zoro had the idea for a moment, but quickly abandoned the idea.

He is just a lord of a small village and town, not a powerful city lord, let alone a savior.

The heroism of saving others at any cost has not yet befallen Sauron. At least, not at the moment.

As a lord, Sauron understands the most simple truth, that is, if you want to survive in this world, you must think about yourself. If you want to carry forward the spirit of chivalry and be a philanthropist to help others, you must first save enough capital.

Looking at the returning apprentice, Sauron's tone was encouraging, "Go, Cicely. Help Ares collect the population for the Dragoncourt Woodlands, and I'll be proud of you! ”

Cicely's eyeballs are not black, they are a pair of dark blue colors. But when she finally raised her head and met Yasuo's gaze, sparks burst out from time to time in her dark blue pupils. Looks brave, determined, and alert. "Yes, my lord."

……………………………………

One year ago, Thorin received news from the mouths of the people of the mountains that the lord of Zhongping Ridge, Marquis Walter, was brewing a great conspiracy.

First of all, he will use a consultative tone, in fact, a threatening way, to force Templeton, Bue, Onyx River Town, and Black Mountain to participate in the war against the trolls. Then, the Marquis of Walter will use his usual despicable means to betray the four major towns. Even use the armies of allies as bait. The Marquis of Vout revealed the number of troops and the marching routes of the four major towns to the trolls in some unknown way. As a result, the armies of the four major towns were ambushed by double or even several times the trolls at different locations on their way to the Thorn Forest.

And the ambush of the trolls also appeared on this route to the Dragon Court woodland, which can only show the cunning and prudence of the trolls.

The despicability of such acts cannot be overstated. So much so that a sneer appeared on Zoro's face.

What is the Marquis of Walter doing at this time? Zoro put himself in the other party's shoes, and quickly made an inference using the clues he currently had.

"This despicable Marquis will lead a strong army of mountain men and humans, easily bypass all the ambushes of the trolls, take a long detour through the north side of the Thorn Forest, and finally cross the wet woodland, and attack the weakly defended entrance of the Trolls tribe from the east side of the Thorn Forest, the Iron Plate Bridge."

Marquis Vought played this hand wisely, but he took advantage of the trust base of the four major towns and used allies as bait for trolls.

Imagine that most of the main forces of the trolls tribe poured out of the nest, and he took a detour to easily take down the trolls' lair, not only to obtain a huge amount of loot, but also to obtain a reward from Montenegrin City.

This Marquis of Walter was not ordinarily smart, he understood that even if the four towns of Templeton, Bue, Onyx River, and Montenegro were destroyed, the Prince of Montenegro would not blame him, but would reward him.

After this war, if the four noble lords of Templeton, Bue, Onyx River, and Black Hill could survive, the Marquis of Walter would definitely hate him to the core.

And this is definitely not a conjecture, if one of the four major town lords survives, he can justifiably sue Black Mountain City or even the kingdom, will the Marquis of Walter take such a big risk?

Sauron quickly thought, "Unless there is someone behind him who supports him and acquiesces in such a despicable act." ”

The green shade land is high and the emperor is far away, and the lords of the entire green shade land are under the actual jurisdiction of Black Mountain City. Unless there is an influential nobleman in Montenegro who supports the Marquis of Walter. Sauron felt more and more that everything he doubted and inferred should be the same. Otherwise, the four town lords of Templeton, Bue, Onyx River Town, and Black Mountain Hills, they would not have obeyed the dispatch of the Marquis of Walter like fools.

The Dragon Court Woodland was too small to be within the calculations of the Marquis of Water.

Sauron, however, returned the favor with his way and gave this despicable marquis a 'surprise'.

Although this plan is somewhat bold and risky.

Thorin claims that in the Forest of Thorns, on the site of the Dwarven Outpost, there is a cave called Eighty-Eight Posts, where a group of bear goblins, allies of the Dwarves, live. Where can we get the manpower we need?

After deliberation, Sauron finalized the plan:

[1, Lead at least thirty bear goblins and ten dwarves in the outpost to borrow the bear goblin cave to cross the south side of the Thorn Forest Causeway of the Thorn Forest. 】

[2, From the hollows of the hills south of the Thorn Forest, find the Devouring Crypt. Enter the trolls from underground and steal the fruits of this war. 】

Sauron didn't know if this adventure was more dangerous than the bloody battle he had just experienced.

But at least he should know in his heart that the reason why the Marquis of Zhongpingling attacked the trolls tribe was not for any racial righteousness.

There is only one reason why Zoro can think of knowing something about the trolls tribe, "Whenever the rainy season comes, a rare resource named 'totem liquid' will be produced among the trolls' tribe. ”

And the function and value of totem liquid, even a king will not ignore it.

The value of just 1 drop of totem liquid is enough to top the income of a small territory like Longting Woodland for half a year.

High risk is high reward.

Needless to say, trolls are holding off the armies of the four major towns everywhere in the Forest of Thorns, and swooping down on the territory behind them with great vigour.

In front of the trolls, the iron plate bridge will be attacked by the Zhongpingling army. Only then will there be an unprecedented emptiness in the trolls.

Just as Sauron decided, put aside the task of the castle for the time being.

"If you have a plan, you should act now. We need to abandon all concerns and resolutely implement them, otherwise we will have to use strategies and countermeasures. ”
