Thales was leaning against the dark, smelly wall. His closed eyes moved. He felt someone approaching. Even though the footsteps were light, he still heard them, but he did not open his eyes. .
"Get off the boat! You monkeys, don't sleep!" A druch holding a whip knocked on the bars of the cage and shouted loudly, and then spat in contempt.
"Thank you for the hand of the merciful Witch King, your good days are coming!"
Thales opened his eyes listening to the sound of the fading away, and the people around him also opened their eyes and looked at each other in confusion. They all come from a village in the southern city-state of Estalia.
On a dark and windy night, Thales's village was raided by a group of dark elves, and then they appeared here. They couldn't remember how long they had been in this dark cage. The people who were still carving on the walls turned into madmen and were dragged out by the dark elves who guarded them, never to come back again.
Thales, who stepped onto the deck of the Black Ark, struggled to raise his shackled hands to try to block the light that shone into his eyes. He had not seen the sun for a long time, let alone felt the warmth that he had not felt for a long time, but his hands had just When he was halfway up, he received a whip on his back. He did not question or resist, but quickly put down his hands and walked forward. However, he was still walking slowly, or the whip was longer than he thought. He received two more strong whips on his back. There was a burning pain, and he tried not to make a sound. He knew that if he screamed, it would be even worse.
Beside Thales, in the entire Chapeiuto future port area, five black arks were docked very close to the land, and groups of labor dispatchers were constantly coming down from the black arks.
A large amount of supplies were gradually unloaded from the Black Ark and stacked in designated areas. Various materials such as food, medicine, and building materials are transported, classified, and stored in an orderly manner.
Groups of Druchi soldiers also disembarked from the Black Ark. Their faces were serious and focused, fully armed. The team was neatly organized and quickly lined up, waiting for the next move.
Not only soldiers and supplies, but also some livestock and poultry were also taken off the Black Ark. The animals are carefully cared for and housed in specially prepared grounds.
Chapeiutto, this great temple city has regained its vitality after being dormant for nearly six thousand years.
Thales, who was walking on the ground and slowly advancing in line, secretly raised his head and glanced at the extremely revealing female dark elf standing in front of another line. Although she was beautiful, he did not take a second look because she was on patrol. The dark elf came from behind him, and he knew that the consequences of being discovered would not be as simple as having his eyes gouged out.
Soon it was Thales' turn. When he walked in front of the female dark elf with his head lowered, he heard the female dark elf calling him.
"Look up."
Just when Thales was a little uncertain, he heard this sentence again. He could keenly hear the viciousness, hostility and impatience in the words.
The female dark elf frowned and looked into Thales's eyes. After a moment, she waved her hand and motioned for Thales to move forward.
Just after Thales walked over, an accident occurred in the team next to him. A human standing in front of the female dark elf was dragged out. The patrolling dark elf took out a serrated dagger and killed the human in just an instant. The celebrity tried to reach out his shackled hands to cover his neck, which was still spewing blood.
"Okay, I found one." The female dark elf in Thales' team said narrowly in Elvish.
The female dark elf who noticed something was wrong with the human just rolled her eyes, snorted, and said nothing.
These female dark elves are Druchi sorceresses. They are ordered by the Witch King to check whether there are any suspicious objects among humans. This suspicious includes many people, including those who hide infectious diseases, cultists and wizards who go wild.
The dead human being did not affect the order of the team. The numb humans were still lining up in an orderly manner, as if the person who died was not their companion, not even a trace of sadness or sadness.
"Where are you from?" A dark elf sitting in front of the table asked Thales, staring at him.
"Es... Estalia."
The dark elf didn't say anything, but took out a small blue sign from the table with his gloved hand and put it into Thales's hand, and then placed it He waved his hand to signal Taylor to continue walking forward.
These plaques of different colors are used to record where the labor dispatch came from and which sorceress registered it. Many of these sorceresses come from Grond. Although Darkus uses them, he doesn't trust them and is not sure what kind of bad things they will do.
"Occupation?" The dark elf saw Thales's reaction, and then asked impatiently, "What did you do before."
"Sheep."
Thales had another orange sign in his hand, and soon he came to a square. superior. The dark elves who were fully armed and surrounded looked at him somewhat unkindly, but his shackles were unlocked, and soon he was separated from the humans from the same village as him, and came to a strange group of humans, probably There were more than thirty people.
At this time, a dark elf who clearly seemed to be in charge came over and said in a disgusted tone.
"From now on, you will be a family sharing life and death!"
The dark elf in charge looked at the monkeys in front of him with contempt and disgust, and kept explaining.
The general meaning is that there can be a maximum of five people in a household, one tile for every ten households, one armor for every ten tiles, and one guarantee for every ten armors. The card chief is a human being, the armor chief is a Druchi captain, and the security chief is Druchi's centurion. These Druchi captains and security chiefs are responsible for detecting theft, monitoring, and suppressing resistance.
A one-size-fits-all system was implemented. If one household committed a crime, all ten households would be executed. Only informers would be spared. Captain Druchi, who also serves as the armor commander, and the ten Druchi soldiers will also be seated together. Centurion Druchi, who serves as the security guard, will be punished according to the crime, ranging from being demoted to being executed.
(I haven’t thought about replacing the nouns, so let’s do this for now.)
Of course, this Baojia system was brought in by the reactionary force Daquasi. In his opinion, this system is very suitable for the environment of the Kauchen Plain. In the future, he will implement some benevolent policies. , use both kindness and power to prevent these human beings from bottoming out and rebounding. Instead, they will make these human beings say: they are happy and unwilling to miss Shu. If there are cultists among humans who lead Druchi soldiers to resist or the entire Tianjin or something, he can only shout: Awesome!
"Do you understand? You have half a day to choose a card leader you trust." The dark elf in charge has repeated these words eight times today, and he will keep repeating them. He is a little uncomfortable. He waved his hand patiently, "Go and have a good meal. Your new life has begun. Thank you for the generous hand of the Witch King!"
In the morning, Chapeiyuto had a group of Skink architects. They were passed through They were transferred by teleportation. They have to assess the damage to the Chapeiuto building. Next, they have to find out the things that originally belonged to the building among the bits and pieces that were sorted out. After that, these bits and pieces will be Treat it as a trophy, and finally start the renovation project of Chapeiuto.
Nothing is perfect. If the Black Ark Fleet chooses that time to come out, it will encounter a storm, but after coming here, it will also be the time for wheat planting.
Darkus took out the labor dispatch that was originally engaged in agriculture, and tried to plant a batch of ordinary wheat first, otherwise people would eat the horse's chews, plus a bunch of giant beasts, and maybe there would be no food at this time next year.
An insect breeding room is also built in the cellar. It is nutritious, chewy, and high in protein, making it the most suitable for labor dispatch.
——
"Are you sure?" Malekith asked uncertainly, his tone full of doubts. Darkus did not answer Malekith, but spread his hands and shrugged.
It has been a week since Chapeiuto rose, and it was arranged that Darkus would take the idle dignitaries around the Kauchen Plain.
Colan, who was standing behind the strange pair of monarchs and ministers, looked at it blankly. He did not understand the conversation style of the pair of monarchs and ministers. This was beyond his understanding. If he were to imitate Darkus's actions, he would We can all imagine his consequences.
"Through the two months of contact, I don't think he has this ability, including Dorian! You have to know that the soldiers that Sirsis usually commands are not as many as Dorian is commanding now!"
Sirsis and his son did not agree. He did not come to follow Darkus around, but stayed in Chapeiuto. Sirsis was assisting Dorian in reorganizing and adjusting the army, and with the cooperation of old guys like Edmund and Vienna, The army was organized in an orderly manner.
Baine and Selire also stayed in Chapeiuto and selected Edreze cultists. Shakala, as the killing sister, was also lobbied by Darkus to establish the third Edreze cult. .
"I don't think he has this ability, but..." Darkus stretched out his voice at the end, and then said, "There is no more suitable person than him. He is learning from Young Master Nukel." However, I also learned a lot in Nagarond. Although his abilities are not yet up to par, one advantage he has is that he is young! He has not been eroded by the environment of Druchi society, and I have protected him very well."
Generally speaking, elves in this world are considered adults when their bodies stop growing at the age of sixteen, but whether it is Druchi of Naggaroth, Asul of Ulthuan, or Athel Loren Aslay, at this age, is all about fooling around, studying, dueling, seeking death, taking risks, helping old ladies cross the road, being curious about everything, and touching everything he sees is the mainstream.
Walter is the same age as Darkus, and there are siblings from the Hook Claw Arashi family. They are at the bottom of the group in age. Darkus is only twenty-seven years old now, and Mara is the taller one. Noor, the rest are basically over a hundred years old.
"But his family died because of yours!" Malekith said teasingly.
Malekith knew what Darkus said next. Although there was a shortage of internal affairs talents in Druchi society, they could still be found by hard search. However, he knew that these Druchies were not in line with Darkwus. He knew that Darkus did not want to bring the customs and social environment of Nagaros to this new land, so he thought that coming to Walter was indeed the best choice.
Darkus' body lying on the big man's saddle stood up straight, and he glanced at Malekith speechlessly.
"This is the price of growth, it is inevitable." Darkus said shamelessly. He looked at the vast world, and then looked at Renne, who was riding a Dilophosaurus below and was constantly adjusting his angle to face He gestured and continued, "But my hands are not stained with the blood of the Thorn family. If he falls into the pain of parricide and cannot extricate himself, then he is really a waste."
Darkus said this suddenly He laughed, and then told Malekith that after Walter was attacked in the morning and ran out of the house disheveled, he went to the market and saw the female Drucci unable to walk.
The Cawchen Plain is a magical place located at the southern end of the Lustria continent, bordered by the vast ocean to the east, facing the Southern Chaos Land across the sea to the south, bordering the southern end of Sotek Ridge to the west, and Lustria to the north. The terrain of the jungle gradually becomes low and flat from west to east, with mountains in the west and plains in the east.
There are currently no major rivers... nor a large amount of forestry resources...
The natural conditions are favorable, the land is vast, most of the land is located in temperate and tropical climate zones, with sufficient sunshine, fertile land, and sufficient rainfall, but there are no water resources for the time being. It is an ideal middle farmer, The pastoral ecological zone, coupled with the vast coastline, makes pelagic fisheries and salt resources rich.
As for the lack of forestry, Darkus planned to plant some and then obtain some from the Lustria Jungle in the north through trade.
This time, that time.
Darkus' identity and status, both among the lizardmen and Druchi, have undergone tremendous changes, and all previous plans need to be overturned and readjusted.
Darkus plans to divide the Kauchen Plain into five geographical areas. At the same time, these five geographical areas are also administrative areas. Before the supporting cities and towns are established, they will be called administrative areas.
Just like the Kauchen Plain is a kingdom, these five areas are provinces. For example, the Kauchen Plain is Nagaros, and these five areas are cities governed by night governors.
The top of Sotek's ridge in the south stretches down to the Lost Valley below the temple city of Okoos.
Dakoos plans to plan this area into the Salta District. The climate here is mainly dry and hot, and the rugged and changeable terrain makes the climate diverse, divided into semi-arid, arid, temperate zone with no dry season, and temperate zone with no dry season. The temperate zone in the dry season has strong heat waves, long summers, long frost-free periods, and an alpine climate at the highest altitudes.
This area was carefully planned by Darkus to be the size of a palm. Compared with other areas, it seems like a joke, but if there is no accident, it is the richest place in the entire Kaochen Plain!
There was no gold mine in Chapeiuto, and Darkus searched a lot but couldn't find it. Finally, he went to ask Master Ma, but Master Ma told him that there was no gold mine there, let alone that it didn't exist in the sea. float. But a master is a master! Master Ma told him that there is the largest silver mine in Lustria halfway down the Sotigo Ridge at the southern end!
This silver mine vein was like a keyword, stimulating his sensitive nerves. He thought of the silver city in his previous life, Potosi, which was said to have changed the world!
"I am your pillar!"
Picture.jpg
This is an illustration from "The Genealogical History of the Inca Kings and Royal Family of Peru". The silver leaves are on the cross shadows inside the mountain. The inside of the mountain once sparkled, but it looks like a gaunt wood. Ashes.
In 1594, the richest local silver mine in the world was discovered on the Glasswea Plateau, which marked a turning point in world history! There is also a place similar to Potosi in the Kauchen Plain!
In addition, where Darkus and Malekith are standing now, Renn is still riding a Dilophosaurus and gesticulating. Darkus asked Renn to draw a picture of him and Malekith. For paintings that stand at a height as high as the sky, the sky must be blue, and the land below must be painted realistically, because the land is whiter than the sky!
This is a Great Salt Lake that covers an extremely large area and is inexhaustible!
This is the land of wealth and hope! The salt lakes and silver mine veins alone are enough to support this palm-sized administrative region.
In addition, the Malevolent Temple carries many sorceresses from the Tower of Destruction in Krakarond. These sorceresses who have practiced in the fields believe that the soil and climate here are suitable for growing crops such as sugar cane, tobacco, and citrus.
The combination of salt lakes, silver mines and cash crops is enough to make the GDP of the Salta region ahead of other administrative regions!
This is also the reason why Malekith doesn't think that Walter has the ability and qualifications to manage this place. In his opinion, Walter can barely manage this endless salt lake, let alone manage an administrative district.
Walter's position is Asriel's night governor, but he is responsible for managing the entire Cawchen Plain and daily coordination with the lizardmen when Darkus is away.
What is this concept? If the Cawchen Plain is fully rolled out, it will catch up with the entire Nagaros...
Malekith asked Dachus several times about the situation in the Kauchen Plains, and Dachus told him that the Kauchen Plains were very vast and very fertile. But he thought that was all. He thought that Dacus should be eager to get a piece of land of his own. But after arriving on the ground... he felt that Dacus was somewhat different from what he said, and he was a little cautious. .
In Malekith's view, Walter's authority was a bit exaggerated, as was Dorian, who was in charge of the army. (End of chapter)
