"Yao Xing, how much have I improved this time?" Sauron asked.
Yao Xing said: "Because this time you have improved your strength and agility, so in terms of archer cultivation alone, you are already an intermediate six-star. In terms of swordsman cultivation, you are already an intermediate three-star swordsman."
Sauron was immediately overjoyed. Although this breakthrough was far inferior to the Dragon Flame Ruins, it was already much stronger than expected.
Moreover, he also has a demon star, which can carry out n dragon power critical attacks. The most important thing is that he is an intermediate six-star spiritual master, which is the most heaven-defying. So even if he faces a high-level warrior, he has a chance to fight.
force.
This promotion comes entirely from Suo Hanyi, and perhaps this is his so-called adopted son's last contribution.
Sauron left the quiet room and walked to the small conference room outside.
"Greetings to the Lord." Suo Danchen and Suo Danyu knelt down on one knee.
Before, they didn't have this kind of etiquette for Suo Hanyi. Basically, they just bent down and saluted without kneeling, because Suo Hanyi was only their superior, not their master.
Sauron waved to them to get up, and then found a chair to sit down.
Ye Jingyu stepped forward and served an exquisite breakfast.
Sauron took the fresh fruit and cheese with his hands and ate happily, drinking goat's milk and red wine while eating.
He was very sophisticated in early childhood and ate very randomly. Not only did he eat cheese, he also ate mutton chops, and he not only drank cow and goat milk, he also drank alcohol.
Suo Danchen stood up, still bending down and said respectfully: "To inform my lord, Tianshui City has been completely captured. Four thousand rebels were disarmed and escorted out of the city, and are currently being held in the northern city guard camp."
Sauron swallowed the last bite of the mutton chop, and then said: "Let's go and have a look."
…
After walking out of the city lord's palace, Sauron got on the carriage and headed outside the city.
At this time, the entire main city of Tianshui fell into an eerie silence.
The vast majority of the people did not know that the weather had changed, but they vaguely felt a terrible aura. Because a large-scale army was dispatched last night, and there were sporadic battles.
Early this morning, the city guard issued an announcement that all people should stay at home and are not allowed to go out.
What is even more uneasy is the city guard itself. Although they have not received very clear information, they have vaguely heard the rumors.
However, they are the most professional soldiers. No matter how uneasy they feel, they still have to obey orders.
Suo Danchen hesitated for a moment, then came to Sauron and said: "My lord, the brothers in the city guard are a little uneasy. Do you want to have a word with them?"
Sauron shook his head and said, "No need."
"Yes." Although Suo Danchen didn't understand, he could only obey the order, but he felt more and more that Sauron was unpredictable, and he was worried that the Lord's prejudice against the city guards was already very deep.
Did Sauron have any prejudice against the city guards? No.
On the contrary, he felt that this was a very outstanding army. Although the individual combat effectiveness may not be as good as the mercenaries brought by Yan Yan, after all, they lacked actual combat experience. But in terms of loyalty and obedience, they far exceeded the mercenaries.
soldiers.
That day, Suo Hanyi pretended to be stabbed, and under internal and external attacks, the main city of Tianshui fell. However, the city guards were not completely defeated. Instead, they organized and fought to the death to escort Suo Hanyi out of Tianshui City. Within half a month, those who left Tianshui City fell.
The scattered soldiers took the initiative to return to the team and reunited around Suo Hanyi.
Suo Hanyi and Yan Nu trained this army very well, and this army's loyalty to Suo Clan has never changed. It's just that they chose to be loyal to Suo Hanyi's Suo Clan.
It was precisely for this reason that Princess Zhenning asked them to stay in the main city of Tianshui instead of transferring them to Tianlang Pass to fight Sauron's army.
Their current uneasiness is due to temporary loss of direction and worry about their own fate.
This city guard was all born in Tianshui City, and they were absolutely professional soldiers. Their families had land and houses, and a certain monthly salary. They were relatively wealthy and had a relatively high status within the territory of Tianshui City.
Once Sauron expels them from the army, they will have nothing.
…
A few miles outside the city from the north gate, you will arrive at the barracks of the Tianshui City Guards.
Normally, most of the city guards are training in the barracks, and only a few are stationed in the main city of Tianshui. However, the war is approaching during this time, so the entire city guards are stationed in the main city, leaving the northern barracks empty.
The entire barracks covers an area of tens of thousands of acres. There are special horse farms, archery ranges, etc.
The castle complex alone covers an area of a thousand acres, like a small town.
On the castle's campus, Sauron saw four thousand captured rebels. Each of them had been disarmed, and even their clothes were stripped off. They were only wearing single clothes, squatting on the huge campus, shivering from the cold.
Although Tianshui City is located in the south and it is not freezing cold, it is already winter after all.
There were thousands of crossbows aimed at them on the high walls around the entire school grounds. There were also two thousand fully armed city guards guarding them in the entire castle. As long as this group of prisoners mutinied even slightly, they would be captured in the shortest possible time.
Killed to death.
"What were the casualties of the city guards last night?" Sauron asked.
Suo Danchen said: "It's very small. These rebels used to be second-line militiamen in their respective territories. They were forcibly armed by Nurdan and others. With such an army, the city guard can fight several of them one by one. The battle last night was just
In less than an hour, these rebels only suffered less than 200 casualties, and they all knelt down and surrendered."
Sauron stood on the balcony of the castle, overlooking the four thousand rebel prisoners on the school field.
Soon he will lead the city guards south to Tianlang Pass, and attack Tianlang Pass with Yan Yan's army in front and back. These four thousand rebel prisoners remain in the rear, and they will succeed more than they succeed. If chaos breaks out, it will be a trouble.
So the easiest way is to kill them all.
Sauron did have this impulse, but his reason quickly suppressed it. After all, these are four thousand living people, and they are all his own people. They are not even bad people, nor do they have the intention to rebel against Sox.
It's all about getting money to eat.
Sauron looked at these rebel prisoners and said calmly: "My name is Sauron! Earl of Tianshui, Lord of Tianshui City, the Lord you want to rebel against."
Suddenly, all the prisoners looked at Sauron with uneasiness. Their eyes were full of fear, and they were even more cold and shivering in their single clothes.
Not only the rebel prisoners, but also the soldiers of the city guard looked at him. They were also very worried about their fate.
"All rebels should be executed." Sauron said directly.
The four thousand rebel prisoners suddenly trembled with fear and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Nurdan and other high-ranking warrior lords will all die, and the rebel centurions and above will all die. The ten leaders will all be demoted to slaves." Sauron pronounced the verdict directly: "But as the lowest level soldier,
If you are ignorant of the unknown, you don’t have to die."
The more than 4,000 rebel prisoners below suddenly felt that they had escaped death and breathed a sigh of relief.
"How much is your monthly salary for working for Nurdan and others?" Sauron suddenly asked.
These rebel prisoners looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.
"One silver coin per month." One prisoner said cautiously: "When fighting, three silver coins."
One silver coin is equivalent to 300 RMB on earth. This salary is really low. No wonder Nurdan and others went crazy. At most, they summoned 30,000 rebels.
"At the latest the day after tomorrow, all the other rebels in Nurdan will be wiped out." Sauron said in a very relaxed tone, without mentioning Zou Ning at all.
Because, in the eyes of all the soldiers, this war was a war between Sauron and Suohanyi, Nurdan and others from beginning to end. They didn't even know who the princess was.
"After the war, most of you can go home and farm and work as you should." Sauron said: "Those who want to continue to serve as soldiers must pass strict screening and have outstanding physical fitness and martial arts before they can continue.
Join the army and fill in the city guard army. Because after the war, the city guard army will be expanded to 10,000!"
Sauron's words were not only meant for the rebel prisoners, but more importantly for the city guards.
Sure enough, after hearing Sauron's words, all the city guards present were completely overjoyed, and all their worries disappeared.
Not only will the City Guards not be reduced, but they will be expanded. This means that their jobs will be saved, and their military status and grain fields will not be taken back.
"How much is the salary of the city guards now?" Sauron turned around and asked.
"Three silver coins per month." Sodanchen said: "Regardless of wartime and peacetime, there are three silver coins, but part of it is cashed in with food."
Sauron said: "Add it. From now on, the minimum salary of the city guards will be increased to five silver coins per month."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Suo Danchen and others suddenly lit up. All the city guard soldiers present were ecstatic and their faces were full of disbelief.
The salary has almost doubled from three silver coins to five silver coins. And they don't need to spend money at all in the military camp. They can save more than one gold coin in a year, which can make the whole family live a good life.
.
For a time, the uneasiness in the hearts of all the city guard soldiers completely disappeared, replaced by ecstasy and excitement.
As for the change from allegiance to Sauron to Sauron, this transition is much easier for ordinary soldiers.
Because Suohanyi did not have much direct contact with soldiers, but had more contact with officers, officers above the centurion had particularly deep feelings and loyalty to Suohanyi.
These soldiers are loyal to Soxh, and the most important thing is their own jobs and futures.
Suo Danchen next to him was filled with admiration. Sauron didn't say a word to the city guards, but every word he said was for them to listen to. A few simple words made the city guards feel uneasy, and he didn't seem to have any trouble at all.
The feeling of winning people's hearts.
The four thousand rebel prisoners below are also extremely excited. Not only can they survive, but they may also become high-ranking city guards. They can get a salary of three gold coins a month, and they will immediately throw away their old master Nurdan and others.
To the sky beyond the sky.
Suo Danchen immediately winked.
Suddenly, one of the prisoners shouted loudly: "Long live Lord Sauron, long live Lord Sauron!"
Immediately afterwards, all the captives shouted long live Sauron.
Not only that, more than 4,000 prisoners knelt down to express their loyalty.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the city guard were proud in their hearts, and although they were excited, they would not show it superficially.
Sauron turned his head and whispered to Suo Danchen: "Give each prisoner a piece of clothing, but still don't wear warm clothes. The daily porridge should be thicker, but don't let them eat enough."
Suo Danchen was very excited because this was the first time that Sauron turned his face slightly to talk to him, and his attitude became a little closer.
At this time, he deeply felt the difference between Suo Hanyi and Sauron.
Although Suo Hanyi was strict, he was open to heart with the officers, and there was a vague feeling of equality.
As for Lord Sauron, he has always been aloof, making you unable to see clearly or understand him clearly, but occasionally he will get close to you and make you excited and flattered.
Therefore, Suohanyi can only be a general, and Sauron is the real lord.
This is also true. Suohanyi can only promote you to a military position at most, but Sauron can give you fields and manors, canonize you, and bring honor and status to your family.
"Yes, my lord." Suo Danchen said excitedly.
Sauron said: "Leave two thousand people to garrison the main city of Tianshui, and the remaining four thousand troops will follow me south to eliminate the rebels in Tianlang Pass."
"As ordered." Suo Danchen knelt down on one knee.
…
In the evening.
Outside the main city of Tianshui, all four thousand city guards have been assembled. Two thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry.
Sauron rode a liger and inspected the army back and forth. Every soldier under his gaze felt great pressure.
And their war horses were trembling slightly as they were stared at by the ligers.
"There are 19,000 enemy troops in Tianlang Pass." Sauron said: "Among them, there are 4,000 black-clad troops, 10,000 Nurdan rebels, and 5,000 Linhai troops who returned to Qinqu."
All the soldiers present must gradually adapt to Sauron's speaking style, which is neither sensational nor grandiose.
"And we are also nineteen thousand people." Sauron said: "The city guards are four thousand, and Lord Yan Yan's Silver Wolf Legion is fifteen thousand."
Everyone present has heard of Silver Wolf Yan Yan's name. Because Yan Yan also came from the territory of Tianshui City and was the king of mercenaries who was famous throughout the kingdom.
"Nineteen thousand versus nineteen thousand." Sauron did not hide the meanness on his face and said: "But in my eyes, the enemy's nineteen thousand are just like chickens and dogs. The more troops, the better.
, Even if a fool has a million, it will be of no use at all."
Hearing the words "stupid" and "ass", the soldiers present were slightly startled. This Lord has such a distinctive personality.
"The useless army. You saw last night that all four thousand rebels were captured by you in less than an hour." Sauron smiled and said: "The day before yesterday, I spent gold coins to hire an army of more than ten thousand ruffians, but they were captured by you at your request."
Mr. Hanyi, he peed his pants with a loud roar and ran away completely."
As soon as these words came out, the city guard soldiers present could no longer hold back their laughter.
"There are at least thousands of trash like this in Tianlang Pass." Sauron said disdainfully: "There are only 19,000 troops, but they have to be divided into three factions. This is the enemy we have to face."
The city guards didn't have much fear in the first place, but now that Sauron said this, they didn't even have the slightest fear about the battle at Tianlang Pass.
"What about our 19,000 troops?" Sauron said: "The woman next to me, Yan Naier, is the daughter of Lord Yan Yan. Just two months ago, she led a thousand people to defeat the enemy in the western desert.
We defeated 50,000 Amano City Allied Forces. You heard me right, a thousand people defeated an army of 50,000 people. This is the Silver Wolf Legion, with a total of 15,000 people under the Tianlang Pass."
I don't know why, but the uneasy feeling in her heart is getting heavier and heavier, but she can't find the reason at all.
After another two and a half days, a messenger rushed into the Tianlang Pass and roared: "Suo Hanyi died in the battle. Sauron has captured the main city of Tianshui and is leading his army southward. He is less than two hundred miles away from the Tianlang Pass.
"
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, his body fell off the horse and fell to the ground dead, with an arrow stuck in his back.
The news was like a bolt from the blue. Zeng Ning felt his eyes darken, his head dizzy, and then his chest surged and he felt a sharp pain.
"Pfft..." A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.
Princess Zhenning fainted and fell to the ground unconscious.
