The news of the war with the Dark Lord Sauron spread all over the black foot settlement. Immediately, some orcs expressed their dissatisfaction and denounced it as a very stupid act. Some orcs thought it was a betrayal. The 1000 orcs who came back with Zhao Mai said what they saw, including the dialogue with the Solon messenger and the process of tverdo accepting the challenge. When they heard that there was still hope of victory, most of the orcs quieted down.
The title "the biggest settlement battle in the history of Mordor" is more acceptable than "overthrowing Sauron", although the two are essentially the same thing. Even if the orcs did not escape on a large scale, the black foot settlement was still in chaos for some time. The orcs knew that they could not defeat tverdo, so they challenged Daryl and others, trying to control the middle of the black foot settlement.
This kind of fighting takes place more than ten times a day, which leads to the stagnation of the black foot settlement. If Zhao Mai didn't have Z worm, he would be in a dilemma. The challenge according to the orc rules is the legal basis for him to declare war on Sauron. If he banned the orc rule in his settlement, he would lose his rationality. For the current situation, he is not good at directly intervening. He can only let Xiaohua sneak into the arena and apply healing magic to Daryl, dussaud and other orcs to ensure that they can win smoothly.
There are orcs who leave the settlement and Zhao Mai to go to the north every day, in twos and threes, or on their way alone. By monitoring the insects, Zhao Mai was able to clearly know their location, number and direction. As long as he orders, through the underground tunnel, the jumping dogs all over the territory can quickly attack and kill these orcs. But he couldn't give the order.
"I pay too little attention to the settlement. It's a normal reaction that they don't believe me." Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua: "even among orcs, there is no such truth. As long as I am strong, I must be right."
"The vast majority of orcs still decide to challenge Sauron with you, which is good." Xiaohua will always comfort Zhao Mai, she said: "as long as you don't fail, there will always be followers. With one victory, your reputation will spread all over Mordor. After all, your opponent is soron
"No, it's not about the opponent, it's just about me." Zhao Mai scratched his head and said, "when he came to this world, he felt invincible, so he didn't really concentrate on what he wanted to do. The only time I got down to it, I was just looking at Saruman's research results. This is not a movie after all. We can't wait for the ending with the psychology of the game. "
"Then don't be half hearted next time." Xiaohua pinches his waist and stares at Zhao Mai with big eyes. He has a point: "don't be half hearted!"
"I'm not involved in all aspects of power to balance the influence of the will of the world. If I had been wholehearted from the beginning, I would have become a general of Sauron, leading the army to attack Gondor happily. " Zhao Mai deliberately digs away from the topic and shakes his head with a smile: "so far as the experience and lessons are summed up, how is the preparation of Z insect over there?"
"It's time to attack."
While the black foot settlement was still solving the internal contradictions, z-bug had already started to work. Hatching rooms, refining rooms and dog jumping pools appeared on the surface, and countless insects began intensive construction work. In order to expand, everything that can be used is needed, and when it is fully operational, the consumption of resources is also very huge.
The soil on the ground shows its own horror. While it continues to maintain the normal operation of the ecosystem, it begins to eat the earth. The Xizang soil is getting thicker and thicker. It keeps drilling to the bottom of the earth, putting a sieve to filter the mineral resources of the earth. Of course, iron, copper and coal are very useful. Are ordinary stones and sand useless?
Using stones to make armor and shield, this method can be completed. Grind it into powder for compression, then stick it with adhesive, continue to compress and shape, and the stone armor shield is made in this way. In terms of hardness, it's certainly not as good as steel products, but it's easy to shape, cheap and easy to mass produce. At Zhao Mai's suggestion, armor and shield imitate the carapace shape of some creatures in nature. They use structure to increase strength and reduce weight, and become easy to use immediately.
Anyway, they were all consumables. Zhao Mai directly distributed these stone products to the orcs in the black foot settlement.
If we continue to gnaw down and make the best use of everything, it will inevitably cause land subsidence. In this respect, xirang is like a huge beast, opening its mouth and digging down to eat. As a result, the earthquake has become a common thing, dozens of times a day. However, the Xizang soil is "soft", which can disperse and dissolve the impact force both horizontally and vertically, so the intensity of the earthquake is very low, only slightly felt.
Under Zhao Mai's command, the army of springworms made a direct attack to the East, and first killed the forces of the goblin beast teeth in one direction. Before Zhao Mai wandered in the north, the preparation for the East attack was in full swing. For the first large-scale offensive, Zhao Mai has no good plan. He just needs to submerge directly with the advantage of quantity. What leapfrog tactics, what division and encirclement, what pincer encirclement, these concepts continue to teach, but it's hard to say what yuandinglong will become when it comes to execution. Even Zhao Mai only heard his name, but he didn't know the secret. Fortunately, there are opportunities for practice. As long as he is in the land of peace, Zhao Mai is not afraid of consumption."So, xirang is the key, right?" Yuandinglong came to Zhao Mai for the third time before the attack. It can be seen that they have no bottom in their heart. "As long as xirang is spread, it will be ours sooner or later?"
"It's understandable." Zhao Mai said: "you are ready in advance. Once the war starts, you have to take care of the front and the rear at the same time. You will be very busy. Never feel that war reserves are enough, because once a war starts, consumption is hard to control. Fortunately, we can afford it. "
The gardener long wanted Zhao Mai to go to the eastern front, so that they would have the confidence to win. However, Zhao Mai had to control the black foot settlement and arrange for the orcs to settle down as soon as possible. At the same time, the news came that Solon was building a fortress in the north. It seemed that Solon was closing down the north of Mordor, blocking Zhao Mai's army with walls and fortresses, and locking up the two halflings' activity areas.
When Sauron's power shrinks, his power becomes very concentrated. Supported by his will and magic, the mountains can change their direction, the earth can change its shape, and bricks and steel can be piled up and built at will. If Zhao Mai was at the scene, he would even feel that this scene seems familiar. Zhao Mai as like as two peas and a pun, will be built in the same way as Sauron.
Zhao Mai is also anxious about the upcoming battle, but it is not his inner thoughts that determine the time of the battle, but the expansion speed of xirang. Every day, a new born yuandinglong comes out of the incubator and immediately goes into the work of cultivating and expanding the soil area. The expansion speed of Z insect exceeds Zhao Mai's expectation, so the opposite Solon is even more unexpected!
There was no special sign. The gardeners thought they could fight, and the war began.
