Inside the Royal Palace Oldmancius, Augustine has just finished a long and complicated meeting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After returning to the Emperor's living room, the attendants changed the imperial robe, a symbol of power, and carefully placed the crown in a special spell stone box for safekeeping. These subordinates clearly saw that Augustine was in a bad mood, and one by one they tiptoed, and even wanted to pinch their throats to speak.

On weekdays, Augustine came to the central courtyard to stand quietly for a while after the meeting. The white marble courtyard is not richly decorated, it is pure, clean, and exudes a simple beauty. In the middle of the courtyard is a 10-metre-square pond in which Tasman listens to the rain and meditates for a moment as the drizzle falls down the hollowed-out roof.

Today, however, Augustine seems a little uneasy.

The discussion at the meeting was always a constant topic, and in recent days the opposition of these elders has gradually increased, apparently because of the rebellion of the "rebels". However, these voices will eventually disappear after the army of the undead is leveled, and Augustine is not worried about what a group of unarmed weaklings can make waves - the latest battle report shows that the 20,000 army of the undead has already fought with humans, and the next thing to do is to rush up and directly subdue the opponent.

Speaking of confrontations, he always flashed in front of him the figure of the Cullen Kingdom who repeatedly sabotaged his plans, but Augustine then sneered, feeling that he really valued this kind of character too much.

Whether he is a demon hunter or a leader with good luck, there is no luck in the face of absolute crushing strength.

So he was not worried about the course of the war, but about Yugesa's mission.

Yugsa received the order to attack, and by now there should have been a response. Whether it's caught or pounced, people will be able to convey information to themselves. But up to now, there has been no news of this team, which really makes Augustine suspicious.

He was sure that Yugsa's life was not in danger, otherwise the death of this proud protégé would definitely trigger the spell mark he had left on him, but since the person did not die, there should be a reply to how things were done... Could it be that for some reason it was delayed?

The long life gave Augustine enough patience. He also knew that he was concerned about it, so after a moment of adjustment, he suppressed some negative emotions, raised his hand from his pocket to put a blue magic crystal, his fingertips brushed the perfect edges and corners and threw it at will, the magic crystal crossed a parabola, and fell into the pool with a "poof".

The magic crystal emits a faint blue light, and even if it falls underwater, you can still see the sinking track. But after only a meter or two, something seemed to swim in the water, and the shaking waves suddenly became violent, but Augustine pressed his hand indifferently and suddenly fell silent.

When I looked into the pool again, the magic crystal was gone. Augustine didn't look at it, and walked around the pool towards the laboratory at the back of the palace.

Behind the Oldmantius is a beautiful royal garden, where rain never accumulates, but only makes the flowers and trees more verdant. The white stone pavement is hand-hewn with waterproof lines, and the occasional new moss grows at the edges, and it seems to be forever alive in a country ruled by a group of "dead men".

Augustine was so accustomed to this that he had long forgotten the fact that he was a "dead man". He walked through the corridors and eventually came to his regular magic laboratory - although there were no "xenomorphs" to use as materials for further research, he would systematically organize the experiment log every day, and analyze and summarize the details that he had not paid attention to.

None of the strong people who can step through the 60-level threshold are lazy and slack.

Augustine thought about the circle in his heart, and frowned all the way into the laboratory, but when he walked to the thick experimental records and was about to continue to look through them, the Undead Emperor raised his head suddenly, his eyes flickering...

Someone has been here.

Even though the test bench in the room looked no different from usual, even if all the defensive circles in the room had not been triggered, Augustine still found the subtle differences in the placement of the test records.

This made him feel horrified and angry - Augustine was sure that this could not have been done by the people in the palace, and even if he looked at the whole of Tasman, he didn't believe that anyone could enter this laboratory without alarming the magic circle he had set up... With a little extrapolation, he could confirm that the person who came to look through his experimental records was not only strong, but even knew something about what he was studying!

This made Augustine feel like a fish in his throat, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"Who is it? What do you want to do?"

The humidity and coldness of the Tasman did not affect the increasingly hot temperatures of Ivota in the slightest.

As the sun grows hotter and hotter, so does the decay of corpses on the battlefield. Swarms of mosquitoes and flies and hovering vultures have become a sight that Sauron wears every day, and the war seems to have reached an embarrassing situation for both sides.

The siege of the orcs has always been ineffective. With the siege ladder and the defense map, the orc offensive has become more and more fierce for more than ten days, and yesterday finally captured a fortress again, but before dawn, it was broken by a strong army raid and forcibly recaptured...

The orcs have made great strides in siege now. At least they have now learned to drive their captives into slavery and let them build better siege engines for themselves. At the same time, their siege efficiency, attack timing and angle are becoming more and more accurate, and the threat to the city walls is also increasing... But all this is useless.

There's always a ghostly army that haunts the orc armies. There were not many of them, but every time they attacked, they always brought unbearable heavy losses to the orcs - the orcs, who had thought they were invincible on land, began to doubt their strength for the first time, and even all the orcs began to desperately dig out horse-repellent trenches when they set up camp, and the number of people standing guard in the middle of the night increased by five or six times...

The orcs attacked the lower city but could not hold it, and the humans could hold it but could not fight a large-scale decisive battle. Sitting in the core tent of the camp, Sauron saw this very clearly, so he knew that he could no longer sit firmly in the center.

"How long will our food last?"

"Great Chief, the current armies of the Overseers are all outside, and it's hard to count..."

"I didn't ask them, I asked... My army. ”

Zoro narrowed his eyes, as if he wasn't worried about the disobedient Overseers at all, and continued to ask calmly.

"It's... If you can drive all the sheep behind you, you can last half a month - because a few Overseers are short of food, and they forcibly divide a lot of them..."

Sauron knew why. The fact that the attack was thwarted and the army failed to achieve a decisive victory naturally made the following Overseers more and more dissatisfied - the orc's military discipline was basically a joke, and Zoro had already felt the resistance of his military orders downward, so he didn't curse anything now, but silently looked at the simple sand table in front of him.

"Racol and Duda are no longer listening. ”

The two Overseers were the masterminds behind the capture of two fortresses in a row, and it was supposed that they should have gained great prestige and wanted to replace Sauron, but the terrible army that came and went like the wind slapped them in the face, making them both angry. Now the two Overseers stopped even besieging the fortress, but simply merged and chased the army towards Elson.

The two Overseers took more than 18,000 troops with their troops and horses, and they continued to gather more troops, vowing to besiege and kill the team that had repeatedly sabotaged their good deeds...

"Elson City, Roddy. ”

With so many prisoners of war captured, Sauron certainly understood what the name meant. But when he thought of the name, he was unspeakably cautious in his anger and hatred - as a formidable opponent, Zoro knew very well that this guy was definitely not easy to provoke.

Especially after he learned that Roddy had become the "Overseer" of the Karen Kingdom, the premonition in his heart became more and more bad. Although Elson City seems to be remote and unprotected on the map revealed by Mirno, Sauron wisely ruled out attacking the city when he thought of the fact that the Overseers of Mugor and the advance troops had died outside Elson, and he also sent people to prevent the two Overseers from pursuing them.

But now it seems that his prestige is no longer convincing.

"What's really about winning. ”

Sauron no longer thought about the two Overseers, the orc tribes were coming together too quickly, and it was not surprising that there was a "split". The only way to solve the problem is to see who can win more - with supplies, food and armaments, and the soldiers, of course, understand who to go with.

So since entering the kingdom of Karon, Sauron has finally set foot on the front line with his guards.

But this time, instead of aiming at a certain fortress, he directly led all the wolf cavalry troops of more than 2,000 people, rushing farther away!

Because of his actions, the orc army, which totaled more than 50,000 people, parted ways. (To be continued.) )
