As for how to extract Thorin's blood and collect his body cells, Zhao Ze said that the pressure was not great, but the pressure on Se Daddy's side was not small, but fortunately, he had obtained Legolas's blood, which was also the reward after everyone traveled together and cultivated a good relationship before.

But cloning is so much at stake that it is unlikely that more clones will be created, at least until they return.

So the only thing Zhao Ze is worth it at the moment is the 10,000 army he has on hand.

Of course, Zhao Ze's own strength is far greater than the deterrent power brought by the 10,000 army, but this point is not well known for the time being.

The only one who has experienced Zhao Ze's strength up close is the Demon Lord Sauron.

Because of this, Sauron's convocation and creation of his army is still accelerating, as if he wants to gather a million troops in one day and wipe out the entire Middle-earth continent in one fell swoop.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

In this month, Zhao Ze is still expanding his strength.

The 10,000 clones naturally needless to say, the number was quickly replenished, mainly by the city defense army.

The so-called city defense force is actually the police in modern society, but their responsibilities are heavier, and they are the most important military force in the dark city in the future.

Because of this, the recruitment of the city defense army has hardly stopped, from more than 1,000 people more than a month ago to 3,000 now.

Three thousand, which is almost a thirty to one ratio, is not outrageous at all compared to a city of 100,000 people.

A human kingdom like the Rohan Nation is, in a sense, almost all of its people soldiers.

But Zhao Ze knows very well that the more soldiers there are, the better, the key is to look at the quality.

In this regard, the people who voluntarily joined the city defense army were all subjected to strict selection and brutal tempering, and it is not possible to say elsewhere that, at least in terms of physical fitness and personal blood, these 3,000 people could form an elite army with only a little training.

The reason for this is none other than that these people have been living a life of exile before, and if they were in poor health, or not very good in physical fitness, they would have died in the wilderness and swamp long ago.

Zhao Ze's ultimate goal is to recruit a total of 5,000 city defense troops, and then through a series of polishing combined with modern military training methods, these 5,000 people will become the second echelon of Night City, and temporarily act as the guardian force of Night City when 10,000 clones go out to fight.

The matter of recruiting the people to join the city defense army was thrown by Zhao Ze to the widow sister, anyway, she was the best at doing this kind of thing - compared to other women, Zhao Ze only needed to listen to her report every few days.

Seeing that the war was imminent, the atmosphere before the outbreak of the war was extremely solemn, and even the caravans that often came to the Dark Night City were much less during this time, and in this case, there were finally people who couldn't sit still and wanted to come to the Dark City to meet Zhao Ze.

When Zhao Ze learned that Saruman had come alone, he almost thought that his ears had heard it wrong.

He has no friendship with the speaker of the Holy White Council, and the last time the Holy White Council chose the place to hold the meeting in the Night City without his permission, which in itself made Zhao Ze very unhappy, and even did not attend the meeting for this reason, but was replaced by Mrs. Carthus, which in itself is the most obvious statement.

Now why is Saruman coming again?

Zhao Ze had a vague guess in his heart, but he was not sure, so he teleported down from the top of the giant tree and met Saruman in the living room on the third floor.

Saruman is also an extremely tall old man like Dried Tofu, but this is Maia's image when she incarnates as a human, and it does not mean that they are like this.

"Welcome, Master Saruman."

"It's an honor to meet you, Chris. Your Excellency Zhao. ”

The two finished talking nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the next war? Now more and more people suspect that the sudden appearance of the Demon Lord Sauron is because he has recovered the long-lost ring. ”

"I don't have any opinion, either you die or I live, there is no winner in this war." Zhao Ze shrugged his shoulders and showed a meaningful smile, "Master Saruman, you don't seem to be very optimistic about this war?" As the leader of the White Council, your views and opinions are important, and if you let the elves feel your emotions, I am afraid that the future of the coalition will also be clouded. ”

Saruman's hands holding the staff trembled inadvertently, and his expression suddenly became even more gloomy, "Your Excellency, you haven't answered my question yet. ”

Zhao Ze smiled even brighter, as if he had something to say, "For me, it doesn't matter at all whether Sauron has found the Lord of the Rings or not, I have already answered you just now, this war will only stop when one side falls, and I will destroy Sauron and his dark army at all costs!" ”

Saruman knew that he couldn't continue the temptation, so he simply said straight to the point: "What if there is a chance to stop this war from coming?" If there would be no war from the beginning, if Sauron was willing to negotiate peace......"

"Sauron can't negotiate peace!" Zhao Ze didn't wait for him to finish, he directly interrupted his words, and said very unceremoniously: "Master Saruman, you shouldn't be old and confused, right?" Can you say such irresponsible words? When did you, as a guardian, become a coward who fears the dark? ”

"No one can talk to me in such a tone!"

Saruman was furious, but before he could raise the staff, he found that the staff of the staff shook violently, and after shaking his hands apart, it was directly "sucked" into Zhao Ze's hand.

"There's no one to dictate to me in my territory, so what else do you have to do now, Master Saruman?"

Zhao Ze carefully looked at the staff and asked seemingly casually.

Without the staff, the wizard incarnated by Maia is equivalent to more than half of it, although Saruman's face turned black, he couldn't say a word, he just stood there and glared at Zhao Ze viciously, and turned around and left after half a ring, not even his own staff.

"Next!"

Zhao Ze saw that Saruman was finally going to get out of the way, and threw the staff out with a flick of his hand, this shit was useless to him, which was why he was willing to return it to Saruman.

Saruman took the staff and left without looking back.

"The old guy is so old...... What a humiliation! ”

Behind Saruman, Zhao Ze sighed and said a word of Chinese that Saruman didn't understand at all.
