Chapter 660: Absolute Obedience
"The Doomsday Volcano is extinguished now?" Zhao Mai was very surprised when he heard the news. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf the Doomsday Volcano is extinguished, wouldn't there be no way to destroy the One Ring, which is completely unconscionable.
"Yes, my lord, Lord Raven has been ordered by Commander Marlowe Beastmaster to hunt down strange people in his realm and escort them to Mount Doom. He said that this order came from a higher commander and must be carried out to the letter. The goblin blinked, and then said, "Your Excellency, don't forget this command, the Beastmaster is very powerful, and it is not comparable to the Fire Raven. Of course, he's a little worse than you...... Much worse!"
"Then have you noticed any strange people lately?" Zhao Mai pinched his nose and approached the orc.
"No, we've sent a lot of patrols before, but we haven't found any. This is Mordor, surrounded by mountains covered with poisonous mist, how could someone suddenly appear?
"There is some truth, but it is still not to be taken lightly. Well, you know all these things anyway, so you will continue to be in charge of this matter, arranging patrols and searches and so on. Zhao Mai sighed and said, "What kind of beast king, tell me about his situation." ”
"Your Excellency, you don't know the Beastmaster?"
"yes, can't you?" Zhao Mai stared at the goblin, looking at his eyes to dodge. The reserve grain made a humming sound to warn, Zhao Mai snorted, raised his hand and smashed the head of the half-goblin half-orc with a punch.
The other orcs for unknown reasons shrunk their necks, and two of the guys looked down at their fists, as if they were still wondering if they could do the same. Darryl, who had already recaptured the crossbow from the goblins, quickly wound it up, and the crossbow was aimed at all the orcs, and whoever dared to move it would surely shoot.
"It's a nice thing to say, but it's not a good idea. Zhao Mai looked at the orc ten captains and beckoned them to come over. "Do you know about patrolling and finding spies?"
Half of them were shaking their heads, only the other two orcs nodded. "Very good, it's just the two of you, discuss how to assign patrol tasks by yourself, and then do it well, you know?"
The two orcs smirked at the same time, and happily agreed. It seems that the task of going out to patrol is still quite popular, and the reason must be inseparable from things such as search and robbery, and Zhao Mai is not in the mood to correct the internal friction of the orcs for the time being. He is more concerned about Mount Doom and the situation of the "search for spies".
The power of the demon king Sauron will fluctuate in strength and weakness, but he has never left, the system of command and order transmission is still there, and even the Ring Spirit may be hiding in a corner, secretly observing everything about Mordor. If there is such surveillance, it will definitely be discovered by Zhao Mai and prepared.
"Beastmaster, you're so lucky to live a little longer. Zhao Mai thought for a while, at this time, he couldn't come up too quickly to attract attention, the centurion was a good position for the time being. The headshot orc hybrids were right, Mordor was surrounded by mountains, and there was no passage for strange people to suddenly appear - unless they came through a teleportation channel, like themselves.
Zhao Mai can disguise himself as an orc, and others may be able to do it, even if he can't do this kind of change that can penetrate deep into the bloodline level, it is enough to confuse the observation of other orcs. How many people will land in Mordor? What will they do? Zhao Mai knew very little about this information, and he didn't dare to fully trust the information he bought for a gold coin of fate, he had to trust only his own eyes.
"Darryl, bring the orcs from those two villages here, and I promise to feed them. Zhao Mai commanded. He picked one of the three towers at random and said, "Clear that tower, and it will be my residence from now on." Then prepare me some meat, and I'm going to regain my strength and meditate. ”
"Okay. What if something happens?"
"If my dog lets you in, you can come in. Zhao Mai patted Daryl on the shoulder, "You can make decisions about the little things that are not interesting, I just hope that my settlement will have food and drink, and the number of people will continue to increase, this is the first priority." ”
The orc thought for a moment, then nodded.
Zhao Mai crossed his arms and watched as Daryl commanded the other orcs to do their work. He will keep an eye on the orcs who are not satisfied with Daryl's orders, and use his coercion to help the orcs establish their authority. Unless the psychic ability is used on a large scale, Zhao Mai's ability to recognize people's thoughts is not strong, and it is not as good as one-tenth of the reserve grain, so he directly adopts the most brutal method: establish absolute obedience.
Soon his tower was cleared, and the stone tables were filled with hot food, the beds were thatched and matted, the original shooting holes were covered with burlap and used as curtains, and the fire ravens were moved into the room.
Zhao Mai walked in, leaving reserve grain and a roast leg of lamb at the door. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the energy fluctuations around him, and after making sure that there was no surveillance, he began his own actions.
Under the influence of telepathic control, a large floor tile was suspended from its original position, revealing the dirt below. Zhao Mai transformed into an earth elemental and drilled down, heading straight to the depths of the earth. If you want to avoid reconnaissance and surveillance, the underground is still the best option, the first choice for building your true power.
However, there are goblins, dwarves and all kinds of creatures that like to burrow in this world, and this has to be guarded against. Zhao Mai carefully turned around the surrounding soil layers up and down to make sure that it was all solid and pure rock and soil, so he began construction.
By using the ability to convert materials, the original soil layer can be changed into something more dense, and space can be saved. These denser materials are more efficient when used as support columns.
The underground work affected the rock formations, and the shaking caused small earthquakes, and the orcs of the Blackfoot colony felt the tremor under their feet, and some of them lay on the ground and leaned over their ears, and Mordor had raised huge mountain worms that could bite their way through the hardest, thickest rocks. In the oral story of the orcs, this terrible bug could emerge from under its feet at any moment and eat the orcs who had lost their vigilance.
Some orcs wanted to go to Zhao Mai's tower to report the situation, but the reserve of grain blocked the way. One of the orcs trying to force their way through died under its teeth, and the other had its head scratched by its claws. The orcs finally understood that the leader's Cerberus was not a good kind, so they obediently retreated and honestly carried out their previous orders.
Zhao Mai also felt the vibration underground, so he reminded himself not to be in a hurry and to be careful. He changed his approach, using psychic powers to support it, then making horizontal and vertical support structures, and then transforming the roof into a hard arch to support the weight. The cave slowly took shape, and it was time to release the Z worms.
