The surviving soldiers of this army found that they were not executed, but on the contrary, upon entering the city, they found that the orcs were far more "civilized" than they thought they would be - although most of the orcs still had no hygienic habits, they had a variety of ways to enslave humans, and because of the "loyal men" they had amassed, Sauron's administrative capacity and scope were rapidly expanding.

The captives were divided into threes, sixes, nines, and so on, with some able-bodied and honest fellows, who were directly sent to the coolie class to the "construction sites" to constantly repair the walls or build new defenses, while the "talents" who were willing to take allegiance, such as carpenters, tanners, blacksmiths, and even experienced farmers, were assigned various tasks by Sauron and began to carry out them under the supervision of some special personnel.

They continued to forge weapons, make armor, and began to speed up the grain harvesting in the surrounding fields... Sauron is well aware of the importance of food to these people, and as long as he controls the army and the granary, he can guarantee his absolute dominance over the current human race.

The Overseers grew in strength and won successive battles, and their calls for more people and resources grew, but Sauron never agreed to their needs and resolutely put down roots here, and after two rounds of scouting, the only thing they did was build watchtowers, small fortresses, and stock up on more food.

And as time passed, Sauron saw all kinds of visions in his dreams more and more frequently... Without being reminded, Sauron also understood that the unknown existence seemed to be a little anxious. At the same time, he also felt that the improvement of his body's strength had finally reached a certain bottleneck, and he would no longer continue to grow savagely as before.

But he still didn't act, and continued to pay attention to the movement of the magic tower in the southern city, but he kept his composure, and it dragged on until the middle of November.

Due to its geographical location to the north, the sky above the fortress was already snowflakes at this time. The orcs in the city, who had enjoyed more than two months of peace because no one was attacking, now took refuge in warm houses to keep warm—they were not doing well this time last year, and many of their compatriots died of hunger and cold on the way through the mountains. But this year everything is fine, there is no war, there is food and clothing, and the orcs enjoy a rare period of peace.

But the Great Chief Sauron woke up in the early morning of that day.

A purple halo enveloped his body, and Sauron's body trembled violently. He struggled to raise his arm and grabbed a string of animal bone bracelets that lay beside his pillow, and after a brief recite of the obscure incantation, the purple light shattered, and Sauron finally exhaled heavily.

He has inherited many of the ancient witchcraft of the witch doctor Sarota, and at the same time he is proficient in the blessing spells of the shaman, and he has never forgotten to cultivate and improve in his long and hard life, so he has enough strength to resist the repeated dreams these days.

But today, Sauron has to admit... The guy who had been pestering himself in his dreams for days seemed to suddenly have a more powerful influence.

The other party was obviously dissatisfied with his "inaction", and in the dream just now, the seductive scenes that had been constantly appearing completely disappeared, and were replaced by an abyss of boundless darkness and a huge and suffocating pupil.

The fiery power scorched Sauron's soul, causing him to wake up in agony, after struggling hard.

"So... This is who you are?"

Zoro stood up and looked out the window at the already gray snow, but looking down at the bracelet, he narrowed his eyes and had no intention of giving in.

Stepping out, he put on his fur cloak and walked straight to the hall, commanding, "Go and inform all the Overseers, come over for a meeting." ”

Unbeknownst to Sauron, the inhabitants of the fortress were quietly watching outside the inner city, and when the Overseers entered and soon came out to gather their troops, the intelligence officers of the Karen Kingdom quickly sent the news through the portable circle and began to transmit the news to the country thousands of miles away...

When the news reached Hollier City, Roddy was standing in front of an orc, frowning and observing the other.

In the past few days, there have been more than a dozen incidents of orcs breaking out and hurting people, but because Luo Di did not rush to order the execution of all the orcs, among the tens of thousands of orcs, the number of "anomalous ones" reached nearly 100.

"The muscles are changing in strength in areas that are smooth, and it seems that this is already their limit. ”

The white-robed researcher said after the test, while the orc in front of him struggled like a beast in the circle that imprisoned him - Roddy couldn't see any reason in the other party's gaze, and he was sure that if he let go of the immobilization of this guy's limbs now, the other party would definitely attack everyone in front of him without hesitation...

Even if there are dragon lords and elders standing around.

This was clearly not the aggression of normal creatures, but rather a state of mind that tended to frenzy - bloodshot eyes staring directly at all the moving figures in the room, and mouths full of rapid breathing and foaming at the mouth after struggle.

"Most of them are this kind of irrational guys, but they don't have the characteristics of 'demon invasion', according to testing, it should be a problem with the orc bloodline..."

"But the few orcs who showed symptoms still kept their senses, and at the same time, with the protection of the magic circle and the short-term increase of mental power through potions, more orcs regained their senses... For example, this one. ”

Roddy followed the researcher in front of him to another prison, and the orc sitting inside looked up at the figure in front of him, and immediately stood up a little confused.

"Describe your dreams. ”

The researcher had apparently communicated with the other party, and the latter was not rebellious, and began to stammer—everyone else in the room understood the Sabine language, so they understood what the other person was saying.

And they were obviously not surprised, just glanced at each other, Krups nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, we should be on the right path, so the other party will be in a hurry." ”

But one of the dragon elders spoke, "What about these orcs? We can't guarantee that they will always be sane. ”

With that said, everyone understands that the next step is for Roddy to make a decision.

But he frowned, but he didn't immediately decide anything, but pointed to the door: "There is another study, just today everyone can take a look together and make a decision." ”
