V5.Chapter 62

White Horse City.

It took Sauron less than a day to travel from Amber City to White Horse City again.

This once prosperous trade route has been completely abandoned, Fallen Leaves City was devastated by the attack of the orcs, and the handicrafts from the elf country and the half-elves have completely lost their sales. The road to White Horse City was blocked by the ancient red dragon, and the impact on this area under the double blow was quite terrifying. In particular, the chaos formed after the migration of various monsters has led to the migration of many villages and towns with insufficient defense capabilities.

Although human beings have a huge number, they do not occupy an absolute advantage in nature.

The current productivity cannot support the explosion of the population at all, and human settlements can only be formed near suitable farmland, because in those wilderness areas that are not suitable for reclamation, there are still many other species. Food is the key to constrain the mass reproduction of any creature. With the transportation capacity of this era, most of the food can only be produced by itself, and the proportion of consumption by external transportation alone is +3. It is quite large, and it may be attacked by other species.

Unless there is a huge force that has completed a huge project similar to water transportation.

For now.

This possibility is almost impossible, so Sauron saw many abandoned villages along the way. The migration of these villages is largely because of frequent attacks by wild creatures. The decrease in population and the increase in danger make them no longer able to farm with peace of mind. . In the absence of sufficient self-defense strength, many small and medium-sized villages and towns began to migrate or merge.

Jinxi Town.

This is a town that has risen rapidly in turbulent times.

Sauron passed by this town on his way to White Horse City. When he and Vivian followed Gloria's caravan, they also came to this town.

Moreover, here he also met the Juggernaut for the first time.

Today's Jinxi Town has tripled in size, with reinforced thick wooden walls outside, and its population has at least doubled compared to the past, and it looks like it already has the outline of a small city.

All these changes are due to external pressure, and the threat of wild creatures has caused other nearby villages and towns to migrate here. A large number of humans began to form a group to build fortifications to form an army to protect the civilians. Jinxi Town already had a strong geographical advantage and manpower, and in this case, it immediately became the most important human gathering place nearby.

Sauron stopped here for a while.

There were two sentry towers erected in front of the heavy gate, and there were defensive guards on the city wall. Even Sauron saw the figure of the rangers, who were responsible for detecting the movements of wild creatures.

It is heavily fortified here, and the proportion of the militia has reached one-fifth.

Sauron saw several military camps that were training militiamen, which made him faintly feel the breath of war. The blacksmith shop was busy, and weapons forged by military industry were placed on shelves. This kind of situation is probably not only to prevent the attacks of wild creatures, but the rulers here also have plans to recover the lost land. No creature is willing to give up the land easily. Humans are forced to migrate, and when they regroup, they will naturally take back those lands.

A sharp look.

Sauron suddenly felt that someone was watching him. When he turned around, he was surprised to see a young man who was somewhat familiar.

A juggernaut.

A high-level juggernaut wearing a plain cloth with blood stains on his back.

Officially the person Sauron had seen before.

The momentum on his body has become more and more fierce, and the whole person is like a sharp sword with an exposed edge.

The Sword Saint stared at Sauron for a moment, and seemed to sense his strength somewhat. He nodded slightly and left.

A high-level hunter.

This was his judgment, and it was also the ability Sauron showed.

Many Juggernauts are relatively taciturn people, and they sometimes prefer to express themselves with the sword rather than talk too much nonsense.

Sauron noticed the respectful glances people gave him.

It seems that this young Juggernaut has gained the respect and recognition of people with his strength during this period of time. Juggernaut is an advanced profession that attaches great importance to actual combat. The opponent has entered the ranks of high-level professionals at this age. If he does not get distracted in the future, Jinxi Town may give birth to a legendary juggernaut in the future.

It is very likely that the town will become more prosperous because of him!

Sauron didn't stay too long. He quickly left the town and continued to White Horse City. This road has been deserted a lot and overgrown with weeds.

After about twenty kilometers.

A sign appeared in Sauron's line of sight. It reads "Beware of danger! There are diggers here!!! (Skull mark)..."

Digger? !

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth, and then he continued on his way. After walking for about five kilometers, he found traces of other people on the ground, as if they had come from another road.

"Be careful!"

"Another one came out behind you!"

There was a middle-aged man's exclamation, followed by a chaotic battle. There seemed to be a lot of people in the sound, and Sauron also heard the rustling voice of the somewhat familiar digger.

Druid!

Sauron's figure rose into the air, leaping between the tree trunks, instantly pulling out afterimages. He quickly saw the target, but the most eye-catching one was a Druid. It now looks like a black bear, but The words that came out of his mouth were very authentic Elvish language.

Wild Druid.

They are the shapeshifters in the Druids, proficient in various 'transfiguration', and the way of fighting is often completed by transformation.

a priest.

Wearing a slightly worn priest's robe, with scars on his face, he was fighting with a priest's staff in his hand. On his body, Sauron saw a special emblem with pale hands bound by 'red ropes'. This is the priest of [God of Suffering]. and 【Fortitude】the god of the priesthood. This is a lawful and good deity, also known as the 'Weeping God', whose followers include the maimed, the oppressed, the poor, monks, paladins, slaves, and serfs, among others.

The reason Sauron was so familiar with this god was because he had recently carefully recalled the other party's information.

[God of Suffering] - Irmat!

He blesses those who suffer, and the [God of Hunting] Mara, who is fond of bloody hunting, is one of this god's important enemies.

There are many diggers.

In front of Sauron, in addition to the professionals who can fight, there are also a large number of civilians. These civilians completely rely on them to block them, so that they are not eaten up by the diggers.

The strongest fighting force in the crowd was a monk.

It is not an oriental warrior monk, but a warrior monk who has been trained in the local area. There is an independent warrior monk group in the church of [God of Suffering]-Irmat. The name of this monk group is [the Brokenon]. It is a monk group who believes in the Weeping God. In addition to protecting all believers and temples, the members of the group are also responsible for punishing those who cruelly harm others.

evil deeds. These monks can multi-task as clerics, as well as advanced occult followers, holy warriors, divine followers, divine seekers, and saints without penalty for leaving the class.

This is the product of the fusion of the power of the gods and the training of monks. The monks of the broken are very powerful advanced professionals.

The battle became more intense.

However, the situation has not collapsed for the time being, because the priests of the 'God of Suffering' are very good at healing, which is related to their teachings.

While many have misunderstood the teachings of the Weeping God (and even mocked his teachings), the Church of Ilmater has many faithful followers across the continent. In this harsh reality, many victims, sick, and poor depend on the charity of the Church of Ilmater to survive. The Church of the Weeping God is revered by the people in many areas, and his pastors are often generously assisted in practicing free medicine everywhere.

The middle-aged pastor in front of him.

It is one of the few members of the religious order in the current material plane who will provide treatment for others completely free of charge, and the object of this treatment is whether it is the poor, commoners, slaves, or serfs, etc. The priests of [God of Suffering] are not very common. They are too active in their own parishes. Because of a certain 'conversion ceremony' guided before death, the healing power of all priests of the Weeping God is 1.5 times that of other priests. above. (To be continued...)
