The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the slaves drooped their heads, only occasionally shaking an arm, wiping the sweat from their foreheads with some difficulty.
On the yellow and desolate road, more than 2,000 slaves walked continuously, like a long snake winding.
In the horizon, they walked weakly, and it seemed that the arrival of these people had shrouded the whole of Sparta in sultry heat and laziness.
Uria the architect took off his shirt and began to breathe through his mouth to lighten the burden on his nose.
In fact, it is not only him, everyone under the sun longs for a cool breeze. It's just that the occasional hint of wind is too light, except for just letting Xiaocao nod his head, it can't take away this hot and dull feeling in the slightest.
"Nine?" Looking at the familiar figure walking by, Aaron's eyes, which were being baked by the sun, suddenly flickered. He really didn't expect that Shujiu could capture more than two thousand bear slaves so quickly and in such a short period of time.
"The Spartans kept all the promises they made to themselves." This sentence was uttered by Aaron himself. Now, it appeared in the mouth of a Gentile and echoed in his ears with a reminder tone, causing Aaron to squint slightly.
"Two thousand one hundred and three captives, five bear tribes have seized supplies, please accept!"
On the face of the nine, the smile is like a flower. Especially when she saw Aaron's purple cheeks, she was so proud that she seemed to even tremble her eyebrows as if she was making a sound. "Oh! Lord of Sparta, I haven't seen you for a few days, who wounded you. If it were me, I would have chopped off his hand myself. β
Seeing Shojiu's smug expression, Aaron raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes into a narrow slit, and responded to Shojiu's 'kindness' with a 'Spartan' smile.
Through observation, Aaron found that around Shujiu, there were more warriors with naked upper bodies, a few braids on the back of their heads, and their physiques were generally burly. The number of this group of fighters was about three hundred. In addition to identifying them as berserkers, Aaron also labeled them 'Drawing Nine'.
These small number of berserkers are probably the cronies of Shujiu who have regained the throne of the tribe.
"Welcome, Zojiu from the Berserker Tribe!"
Aaron's gaze swept over the berserker's body, and the second time he met him, the totems and black smears on the cheeks and skin of the last time he drew nine were gone.
Re-displayed in the field of vision is a melon seed face full of wild surnames and beauty. But the most eye-catching thing is that she is wearing a leather skirt with a corset, and the tight sense of restraint makes the pair of choppy silhouettes on her chest loom.
Only to see two thousand one hundred long-haired barbarians taken prisoner and entered Sparta.
This not only did not surprise Aaron, but made his face gloomy, and the center of his eyebrows also rose high. Thinking of the anomalous invasion launched by the bear people for five consecutive days a few days ago, Aaron vaguely guessed something.
Under the scorching sun, his face was a little blue, because he had just come down from the training ground, and a green tendon on Aaron's forehead also swelled out.
If he guessed correctly, most of the warriors of the five bear tribes, in a continuous period of five days, launched a continuous abnormal invasion of Sparta, ** not far from ten, it was this foreign woman behind the ghost. "The Spartans fought bloodily and consumed most of the warriors of the five bear tribes, but they didn't expect that it was just to make this stranger cheaper."
As if sensing the strangeness of the atmosphere, Shujiu bared her white teeth and smiled dryly, trying to ease Aaron's face. "Honorable Lord Sparta, I have not only two thousand captives and five carts of supplies. It also came for the salt trade of the berserker tribes, ten carts of furs, and thirty heads of livestock. and some goblin slaves. β
Seeing the diplomat elder nodding, it took a while for Aaron's tense face to gradually ease. Compared with the interests of Sparta, it is really nothing to suffer a little loss on this woman.
If Shajiu thinks that the king of Sparta is dull and deceitful, then Aaron only has the words "Come and say the chief" in his heart, plus an indifferent laugh, "hehe".
"Food and water are already on the table, please!"
While making way for the Nine Drawings, Aaron's eyes couldn't help but look up and down again at the greatly changed Drawing Nine.
He has a good face and a wild temperament.
In contrast to the undulating silhouette, the natural, unwieldy waist of the Nine is tied with a wide belt of animal skin, encrusted with a kind of silver sparkling sequins. Basically, for a woman to have such a good figure, it must be after long-term exercise that her figure has an overall upward sense of uprightness.
Just the right amount of crisp breasts and hips. Healthy complexion, plump carcass and body, this is undoubtedly a perfect body suitable for fertility in the aesthetics of Spartan men.
It's a pity that no matter how much Shojiu writhes and boasts about these capitals, for Aaronry, it doesn't seem to have the slightest temptation at all, except for making him look at it twice. In this world, the most attractive thing to Aaron is, so far, probably only the authority of the king of Sparta, and the power to make the whole plain subjugated.
Aaron understands better than anyone else,
"A man, as long as he has power, the so-called beautiful woman is just a small gift among many benefits."
If you don't even know this, you can't be considered a great warrior, let alone a king.
Aaron continued to glance down, but saw that the leather skirt of the Nine was obviously not very fit and could not hide her plump body. Underneath some of the short skirts, two long legs were exposed, which attracted the attention of Spartan men.
On the soles of her feet, she wore a pair of woven shoes with laces, which seemed to be round and graceful at her ankles, and the blood on her ten toes was probably something like nail polish.
"Lord of Sparta, are you going to continue to be so stingy? Still won't tell me,--your name. β
If at the beginning, she was still a little complacent, then at this moment, from Aaron's indifferent eyes, she seemed to feel a little frustrated.
Suddenly asked Aaron's name, she seemed to be deliberately hiding her embarrassment.
"Augustus Aaron Reinhardt, you can call me Lord Augustus!"
After saying this, Aaron's indifferent gaze shifted from Shujiu's body, and signaled to the Spartan elder diplomat on the side that the diplomat would be solely responsible for the next trade negotiations.
merely
"Augustus Aaron Reinhardt."
Christian name + self-taken name + surname, such a combination of names. It clearly has its own unique origins.
So far, Aaron doesn't care about anything else about the name except for saying it casually. Moreover, he called himself Augustus Aaron Reinhardt, only because he could not remember the real name of the old word.
What people didn't expect was that when they heard this cumbersome name, Shijiu's brain fell into a short circuit.
In the Northern Barbarian Continent, there is no shortage of silver-haired or silver-eyed aliens.
But such a cumbersome name, in which the pronunciation of the word 'Reinhardt' is pronounced, has a special meaning for a berserker nobleman like Shojiu.
Let her quickly remind,
"The silver-haired, silver-eyed, famous Reinhardt family ......"
"The watcher of the Wall of Despair, wearing a terrible badge with an upright roaring ice bear on it, backed by an iceberg......"
On the battlefield, a group of aliens covered in steel shouted the Reinhardt family motto, "Solid as a rock, immovable as a mountain!" "Slaughtered thousands of berserkers.
Mountains of corpses piled up, blood pooled into rivers.
All these images made Shujiu feel nervous.
Although these memories are only stories that Shikow has heard from the elders as a child, and the paintings of the Berserker League.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Taking advantage of the fact that Descriptor Jiu was in a daze, Aaron left the place with a few Spartan heavy helmets.
This time, Aaron doesn't seem to have the intention of entertaining Jonine personally, but instead leaves her directly to the Spartan diplomats to take charge.
Faced with a cunning and scheming foreign woman, it should be dealt with by a professional diplomat. AndγFor sitting next to a table, while using water and food, you go back and forth to bargain. Aaron thinks he lacks that kind of patience.
As for helping Shajiu regain the tribal throne, whether or not she has already paid the price, Aaron plans to dry her for a while.
Right now, Sparta's granary has just been filled, and with more than 2,000 savage bear-people slaves, it is time to start the construction of Sparta. In the past six months, the construction of wooden walls around Sparta has been stopped, and the construction has finally been stopped.
When the fortifications were completed and the population of the territory exceeded five thousand, then Sparta would no longer be a village, but a real town.
The message from Nosica, the High Servant, was that Sparta had to first develop into a town before the temple could be upgraded and expanded, and then it could follow the foreshadowing of the god of war. Launched the 'God-given Trade' with the Athenian city-state.
However, before starting this divine trade that puzzled and confused Aaron, Aaron had an important project to affect the overall 'hygiene' of Sparta, waiting for him to complete.
"Uria, Architect, skill proficiency level increased to level 4."
The drawings completed from Architect Uria raised his skill level by one level directly from level 3.
After taking the drawing and briefly scanning it, Aaron was slightly satisfied.
Elevated canals, in the final analysis, are the principle of using drops. The average altitude of Sparta is low, and the rivers flowing to Sparta originate from the high mountains, if the mountain spring water is introduced into the canal from the mountains at a height of several hundred meters, the principle of water flowing to a low place is used, stretching for more than ten kilometers, and connecting to the relatively low altitude of Sparta.
Clear water flowed from high canals into Spartan houses, bathhouses, and even irrigated farmland outside the Spartan wooden walls.
The aqueduct on this drawing was built with three floors when it flowed into Sparta, in order to consider the flow of clean water into the official residence of the king of Sparta.
As the architect Uria put it, "After Sparta became a town, the rebuilt governor's residence would not be less than three stories." In this way, the king will be able to bathe in water on the third floor. β
I have to say, the architect Uria, he thought it very carefully. All kinds of details are active in this drawing, so that people can see it at a glance.
Aaron stared at the drawings with both eyes, and after reading every detail, he said, "Uria, your drawings are well designed. Now, I can give you the right permission. Start by mining stone, well, those dwarf slaves, you can ...... right away."
Aaron's gaze swept over the hundreds of goblins brought by Shujiu, the short, green-skinned humanoid slaves, his pupils were on a 'big man' who stood out from the crowd, and suddenly contracted and paused, and suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe his eyes.
"Target - Spartan slave, 10 stars proficient in weapons, 9 stars proficient in foot combat, and 8 stars in general potential."
