"Be careful not to wake up, your body will fester!"

Four or five soldiers cautiously approached a two-man beast with a large mouth in scaly armor.

"The most important thing is to tie it well, and there are claws, tied to the body!"

"Okay?"

Loops of hemp rope bound the dangerous beast.

"Are you ready, come on, get up!"

Together, the soldiers lifted the beast up and into a large wooden cage.

"Cover it with a black cloth, cover it! That will wake it up quieter. ”

Most of the other soldiers around are doing similar work.

The large number of beasts captured in Nolan City were all sorted by the soldiers into wooden cages, and then covered with black cloth and loaded into flatbed wagons.

However, they only chose those that were alive, and those that were bitten to death by other wild beasts, trampled to death, or smoked to death, were skinned and cut by special people, and the meat was used to make tooth sacrifices for the soldiers of the army, and the furs were given to the nobles.

Hundreds of carts were collected, each with four to eight wooden cages, and a dozen vehicles containing various supplies, after all, the guards needed supplies, and they couldn't let these beasts die in the middle, at least not too much.

This time, the convoy was far more exaggerated than the last time I went to the imperial capital to pay tribute, and the formation arrangements were also relatively tense.

Forced by the king's order, this time it was also watched by Heno himself, and Brant also followed him.

In addition to Nolan City, the major noble territories and imperial army garrisons up and down the Qingge Empire are all carrying out a series of hunting activities, and all the people running on the ground and swimming in the water are not spared.

The aristocracy in many places has no sense of ecological protection, and there are not a few extinction captures, but fortunately, in this era of this world, there are still far more primeval forests than the cities of the ridge top people, and most of the captures stay in the outer layer of the forest, which is unlikely to have a devastating impact on the overall ecology.

In addition to the variety of wildlife, large livestock farms in various parts of the empire also contributed large numbers of livestock.

This year, these farmers no longer have to worry about the sale of their livestock, and the Chingle Empire, which has just raided the major churches in the country, is now extremely full, and Vogoff has to buy more than 30% of the number of livestock from the farms of the whole country at a price that is 10% lower than the previous year's price.

Don't think that these farmers will lose money if they are one percent lower, thirty percent of the total sales volume can be regarded as more than half of the total sales volume of previous years.

A one-time sale can directly stuff some old, weak, sick and disabled people into it, and it can also save at least half a year of forage and feed money.

And in previous years, the selling price included the average price of some ordinary free-range families selling livestock, and the price of large-scale farms was actually low, and the price offered by the empire was acceptable to the farmers even if it was lower, plus the empire did not owe the arrears to be paid at one time, so these farmers were willing to escort them personally.

。。。

At the foot of the high mountains outside of Kyoto, more and more livestock are already coming from all over the country.

Many of the altar builders have changed their work to building animal sheds.

The foot of the mountain is full of the smell of wild animals and animal dung, and the amount of work to clean it up every day and load it into trucks and sell it as fertilizer is very impressive.

The master of ceremonies of the Qinggli Empire was in a wooden house halfway up the mountain, and there were also the chief engineer in charge of the project and his subordinates in charge of livestock and beasts.

The superintendent snorted, even in the wooden house, even in the middle of the mountain, the smell of feces was still unavoidable, and you can imagine how heavy it must be at the foot of the mountain.

"My lord, the carving of the ground of the project has been almost completed, and now the road steps and the outer hall are being built, and the remaining laborers help to take care of the livestock......

Strictly speaking, the main body of the altar is the carved part of the ground, that is, it has its own type of invocation array, but in the opinion of the officials who supervised the works, this is only a small part of the altar project.

"Hmm... The royal lounge will be built first, and the rest of the progress can be slowed down, and His Majesty the Emperor may come over in a few days. ”

"A few days!?"

The superintendent was taken aback.

"How can it be built in a few days, unless it is made of wood... And the interior is decorated so that His Majesty the Emperor can rest in such a short time..."

"Then use wood, have chairs and beds, be able to rest and shelter from the wind and rain, this is the original words of His Majesty the Emperor, but everything must be fast!"

The master of ceremonies looked directly at the chief worker, who was stunned and hurriedly responded.

"Yes, my lord!"

This kind of strange project, this kind of strange order, the chief engineer was full of doubts but did not dare to ask.

Privately, the large number of laborers and soldiers in this mountainous area, as well as many overseers, have long been known about the strangeness of this project.

"And how many animals have arrived?"

The master of ceremonies flipped through the silk book and asked his subordinates casually.

"My lord, there are now more than 30,000 large animals of all kinds transported from all over the country, and there are probably nearly 1,000 new animals that will be transported every day, but because the facilities can't keep up, about 100 will die every day... In addition, the beasts captured by the major lords and the imperial army have also arrived one after another, and the total number has exceeded 10,000, but the care of the beasts is even more difficult, and many of them are unwilling to eat, so they will not last long......"

At this juncture, this subordinate doesn't care about concealing anything, and explains everything to the master of ceremonies.

But Sendecker doesn't blame him.

He is also very aware of the urgency and difficulties of the project, and it is not easy to do it at present.

Sendecker tapped his fingers on the wooden tabletop.

'What kind of sacrifice is His Majesty the Emperor going to hold ......'

In fact, some smart people in the upper echelons of the empire basically had guesses, and many people did not think that this sacrifice was really for the God of Light.

There are even suspicions that His Majesty the Emperor may be preparing to believe in a new god.

At about the same moment, in the imperial capital of the Qinggelie Empire, the imperial palace belonged to His Majesty the Emperor's study.

Vogev sat quietly at his desk, reading reports and information from domestic and foreign spies.

"Ahem... Ahem... Ahem......"

A violent cough suddenly came out of the old emperor's mouth, and no matter how much he restrained it, he couldn't stop.

"Ho-ho... Ho... Whew......"

After coughing, the old emperor took a big sip of the medicinal soup that was warm on the charcoal stove next to him.

Although the court physician said that His Majesty the Emperor was suffering from a cold, and that it was not serious, at this age, no minor illness could be ignored.

Moreover, today's Voghov has already suffered from gains and losses in the expectation of life extension, and also has mild paranoia.

"I'm running out of time...... That one said that my appeal would cause a change, and maybe it would also include a desire to take my life early!!"

"Ahem, ahem... Ahem... Vomit..."

The violent cough only eased after spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and at the same time made the old emperor's chest ache.

"No, I am the heaven of the Qinggele Empire, and I am also the emperor who makes a deal with the god-like existence!!I will not die, I cannot die at such a time!"

With his right hand, he squeezed the cloth on the table tightly.

"The ceremony will be a success!"

Qin Xiaoxia never thought that he would casually say that the more sacrifices the better, he would be over-interpreted by Voggoff to such an extent.

He famously said that at least 5,000 livestock or animals are needed, and the more types the better, and Vogoff has to do whatever it takes to ensure the success rate.
