V2.Chapter 67

inside the tent. ''

Sauron stood in the center with a serious expression. In front of him was a pirate who was unexpectedly neatly dressed and looked very gentle. He even wore a pair of monocles. But don't underestimate this guy, look at the calluses on his slender palms, you can see that he is a good hand with short weapons, and he has a very good flying knife skills. He is one of the few pirates who can read and learn, and is also a physician in the pirates. He is proficient in various surgical operations and has quite good medical skills.

The man who looked like a noble governess reached out to probe the unconscious man's breath on the ground, then opened his eyelids to take a look, then stretched out his hand to open his mouth to look at his tongue, and said slowly, "Your Excellency! Look! He didn't get poisoned when he woke up, he just passed out temporarily. But when he can wake up depends on his physique. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to wake up tomorrow morning, and this guy's physique is still very good."

Sauron nodded when he heard the words, and then walked around the place.

There were actually quite a few scouts he sent out, but it seemed that out of the five, only this one could come back. If the other four people hadn't died in the hands of the natives, they should have been caught by them. The area of ​​this island is actually quite large, about 500 square kilometers. Due to the tropical rainforest-like climate and the connection with other islands, the possibility of indigenous tribes being distributed here is quite high.

Sauron sent people to explore the nearby area very early, and he also lost three or five people.

At present, the scope of exploration of the entire island is mainly concentrated around ten kilometers near the camp. The most dangerous place is still the remains of those strange plants. Sauron himself did not dare to go over to explore the secret easily. Then the more dangerous place is the site near the southern coast, where there is a high cliff, and there are about ten large pterosaurs living in three groups. Then there is the direction near the northwest, through the jungle area and a big river, is another place full of strange flowers and plants.

Not surprisingly!

Aboriginal tribes are there. The distance from Sauron is about 30 kilometers, and there are several more dangerous areas in the middle, including the territory of some dangerous and ferocious creatures in the overseas archipelago.

"Your Mightiness?"

A bald-headed and ugly pirate looked up at Sauron and said cautiously, "Should we give those indigenous monkeys some color?"

Sauron turned around and glanced at him, then slowly shook his head: "No hurry."

"This is still their territory after all, and these indigenous people are more familiar with the terrain environment than we are. The most important thing for us is to find out the surrounding environment, make sure that there are no creatures like army ants and flying insects nearby, and then have a good fight with them. To make this our territory, we have to get rid of these indigenous people."

"If we don't move, we're done, and every move must be like thunder!"

Don't act rashly.

Sauron was well aware of the troubles of the natives. Because they are a scattered tribal system, maintained by the same totem beliefs and affinity, there are troublesome connections between tribes everywhere. He didn't want endless wars, so once he started a war with the natives, he had to beat them with thunder, otherwise it would be a nightmare for these guys to hide and harass. There is a semi-slavery system among the indigenous people. The main members of the labor are ordinary people and slaves. Most of the sources of slaves are inter-tribal wars.

Indigenous people belong to a sense of separation of soldiers and farmers.

Indigenous people who qualify as professionals are selected for training and hunting.

These natives are first-class warriors and hunters, and they are quite dangerous. It is more dangerous than many professionals, and the challenge level of the entire overseas archipelago is raised by them. This group of people can be regarded as warriors trained since childhood, proficient in skills such as stealth, bow and arrow, tracking, etc., and most of their tasks are hunting and fighting.

The war between indigenous tribes was brutal. It is also very bloody, frequently occurring throughout the overseas archipelago.

In an indigenous tribe, the most important structures are shamans and combat members, and most of the other ordinary people serve as labor. The hierarchy within the tribe is quite strict. The strength of a tribe is not only measured by its population, but also by the proportion of warriors in that population. Because for the natives, they just need to conquer and defeat a tribe. A large number of slaves can be captured, and these populations are actually wealth and goods like gold. The slave trade in the overseas islands also developed in this way, and most of the native slaves were not of the warrior class.

They have lived like slaves since childhood, and are responsible for supporting the upper echelons of the entire tribe.

………………

Sauron took out a quill and drew a few circles on the map. That was the area to be explored, because he was in charge of the camp, and all the pirates would go out to investigate. Among them, the five most dangerous places are on the three sides of the southwest and north of the camp. The first is the place with strange plants, the second is the lair of large pterosaurs, the third is the muddy area where crocodiles are entrenched, and the third is the place with strange plants. The fourth is the territory of a group of man-eating insects, and the last is the river that divides the island in the middle.

The river passes through the entire island, flows from the adjacent islands, and then flows all the way to the sea.

Strictly speaking, this river is the most dangerous place, but only if people fall into it. Because there are a lot of piranhas that are only half the size of the palm of their hands. These piranhas have very sharp teeth. When they move in groups, they can eat any creature that falls into the water. Even an elephant can eat in a short time. Eat cleanly, and in the end not even bones will be left. This kind of piranha is distributed in many parts of the overseas archipelago, and this is one of them. The number is huge to millions, and it is very sensitive to the smell of blood.

Crossing the river requires a boat!

Even the natives couldn't swim there, let alone the large electric eels inside.

The electric eel can stun an adult man when it moves near the land, and it is even more difficult to deal with it here. The large electric eel is almost equivalent to a spell attack, and the intensity of the current generated is quite dangerous. Some special mutant electric eel waves can directly electrocute a third-order professional.

"Your Mightiness."

A one-eyed dragon pirate next to him looked at the contemplative Sauron and said cautiously, "What should we do now? Should we just ignore them? Those indigenous monkeys will probably think we are easy to deal with if they don't teach them a lesson!"

Indigenous people owe it.

Their xenophobia is quite strong, if you don't kill them, they will treat you as a persimmon who can handle it well.

Even pirates know this!

Sauron looked up at them and instructed: "Ignore them for now, you have people prepare enough food and bring the wine out of the boat. The New Year is about to come, let the rest of the men celebrate the New Year with good wine and meat first, Then we will deal with them properly. During this time, I will personally go and find out their details, and now everyone should not move too far from the camp."

Because Sauron was a drinker, the pirates also abstained from drinking alcohol during this time.

The pirate minions below had long complained, but because they were afraid of Sauron's majesty, no one dared to speak out openly. There are quite a few alcoholics among the pirates. During this period of time, there are many people who secretly drink a few sips, but there are still few people who drink blatantly. There were too many alcoholics among the pirates, so Sauron had to take care of it, otherwise there would be people in his subordinates who were drunk all day long. Sauron is not against their drinking, but when he is doing business, he will never allow people to drink and make mistakes.

A group of pirates quickly withdrew to the tent.

Although I haven't figured out why Sauron asked them to celebrate the New Year, the pirates below are really exhausted recently, and many people have complained. Letting go of wine and meat to celebrate now can appease them. After all, pirates are not soldiers, their own discipline is very low, and obeying orders is more out of awe.

Prohibition was lifted, and cheers soon erupted in the camp.

Many pirate minions secretly took out a small bottle, put it to their mouth and took a big sip. This is the standing equipment of pirates, and it is filled with strong rum. This kind of wine has a high degree of concentration and can be used for disinfection when necessary. It is a habit passed down from the northern pirates. Perhaps because the New Year was approaching, the pirates had a much better temper, and they didn't even scold the slaves much. Boxes of supplies were removed, including bacon, vegetables, salted fish, and more.

The things Sauron prepared were actually quite complicated, almost including things that the pirates thought they would never use.

A day passed like that.

Sauron watched the rare joyful atmosphere in the camp, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it seemed a bit cruel.

"Let them have a good New Year."

He looked up into the distance and muttered: "Next year will be the most difficult year. Whether you can stand your ground here depends on whether you can kill those indigenous people next year."

Other dangerous areas, various wild monsters, these can wait.

Because monsters have active areas.

If no one provokes them, the monsters in the overseas islands will not easily go to other sites, including the most aggressive and predatory large pterosaurs, and their hunting ranges are mostly fixed. So the most troublesome are the natives. As long as the natives are defeated, there will be time to clear up other small troubles.

Besides!

For Sauron, the indigenous people have even greater significance. In the end, I am afraid that he has to find a way from the indigenous people for the slave labor force he needs to grow.

If so, then things need to be carefully planned!
