Chapter 67 The Source of Slaves

inside the tent.

Sauron stood in the center with a serious expression. In front of him was a man who was unexpectedly well-dressed and looked quite gentle on the inside of a pirate. He even wore a pair of monocles. But don't underestimate this guy. Looking at the calluses on his slender palms, you can tell that he is a good hand with short weapons, and he also has a pretty good throwing knife skill. He is one of the few people who can read and write among the pirates, and he is also a doctor among the pirates. He is proficient in various surgical operations and has quite good medical skills.

The man who looked like a noble tutor stretched out his hand to sniff the unconscious man on the ground, then opened his eyelids to look at it, 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, it depends on his physique. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to wake up tomorrow morning, this guy’s physique is still very good.”

Sauron nodded upon hearing this, and then walked around the spot.

He actually sent out quite a few scouts, but it seemed that only this one of the five could come back. If the other four people didn't die 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 the distribution of indigenous tribes here is quite high.

Sauron sent people to explore the nearby area very early on, and lost three or five people for this.

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

Not surprisingly!

The indigenous tribe is over there, about 30 kilometers away from Sauron, separated by several dangerous areas, including some territories of dangerous and fierce creatures in the overseas archipelago.

"Your Mightiness?"

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

Sauron turned to look at him. Shaking his head slowly, he said, "No rush."

"After all, this is their territory. These indigenous people are more familiar with the terrain than us. The most important thing for us is to find out the surrounding environment, make sure that there are no such creatures as army ants and flying insects nearby, and then have a good fight with them. If we want to turn this place into our territory, we must get rid of these indigenous people."

"If we don't move, that's all. If we move, it must be like a thunderbolt!"

Can't act rashly.

Sauron was well aware of the troubles of the natives, as they were a scattered tribal system. Tribes everywhere have troublesome ties maintained by shared totem beliefs and kinship ties. He didn't want endless wars, so once he started a war with the natives, he had to crush them with thunder, otherwise it would be a nightmare for these guys to hide and harass. The indigenous people are a semi-slavery system, and the main members of the labor are ordinary people and slaves. Most of the source of slavery was inter-tribal wars.

The aborigines belonged to a certain sense of the separation of soldiers and peasants.

Aborigines who are qualified to become professionals will be selected for training and then participate in hunting operations.

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

The wars between the indigenous tribes were cruel and bloody, and occurred frequently throughout the overseas islands.

The most important structures within an indigenous tribe are shamans and combatants. Most of the other ordinary people serve as labor force. The strata in the tribe are quite strict. The strength of a tribe is not only measured by the population, but also the proportion of fighters in the population. Because for the indigenous people, they only need to conquer and defeat a tribe to capture a large number of slaves. 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 aboriginal slaves were not of the warrior class.

They have lived a life similar to slaves since they were young, and are responsible for supporting the upper echelons of the entire tribe.

………………

Sauron took out a quill pen and drew a few circles on the map, which were the areas that had been explored, because he was in charge of the camp, and the best pirates went out to investigate. The five most dangerous places are on the south, west and north sides of the camp. The first place is the place with strange plants, the second place is the lair of large pterosaurs, the third place is the swamp area where crocodiles are entrenched, and the third place 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.

This river passes through the entire island, flows from the neighboring islands, and then flows to the sea.

Strictly speaking, this river is the most dangerous place, but only if people fall into it. Because there are a large number of piranhas that are only half the size of a palm. 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 them in a short time. Eat it clean, and in the end not even the bones will be left. This kind of piranha is distributed in many places in the overseas archipelago, and this is one of them. There are millions of them, and they are very sensitive to the smell of blood.

You must rely on a boat to cross the river!

Even the aborigines couldn't swim over it, let alone a large electric eel inside.

A creature like an electric eel can stun a grown man if it moves near land, and it's even more difficult to deal with it when it moves here. A large electric eel is almost as fast as a magic attack, and the intensity of the current generated is quite dangerous. Some special mutant electric eel bosses can directly electrocute a third-level professional.

"Your Mightiness."

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

Aboriginal people owe pumping.

They are quite exclusive, if you don't kill them, they will treat you as a soft persimmon.

Even pirates know this!

Sauron looked up at them, and ordered: "Leave them alone, let people prepare enough food, and bring out the wine on board. The Chinese New Year is coming, let the rest of your team spend the New Year with good wine and meat first, Then we will deal with them well. During this period of time, I will personally go to find out their details, and now everyone should not move too far away from the camp."

Because Sauron was a teetotaler, the pirates were also forbidden to drink alcohol during this period.

The pirates below have complained for a long time, but because they are afraid of Sauron's majesty, no one dares to speak out blatantly. There are quite a few drunkards 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 some of his subordinates would be drunk all day long. It's not that Sauron objects to their drinking, it's just that he absolutely doesn't allow people to drink to make things worse when doing business.

A group of pirates quickly withdrew from the tent.

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

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

Many pirates sneakily took out a small bottle, put it to their mouths and took a big gulp. This is the regular equipment of pirates, and it contains strong rum. This kind of wine has a high alcohol content and can be used for disinfection when necessary. It is a habit passed down from the northern pirates. Perhaps it was because the new year was coming, and the pirates' tempers were much better, and they didn't even beat or scold the slaves much. Boxes of supplies were brought out, including bacon, vegetables, salted fish and so on.

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

The day passed like this.

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

"Let them spend the New Year well."

He looked up into the distance, and murmured: "Next year will be the most difficult year. Whether we can gain a foothold here depends on whether we can kill those indigenous people next year."

Other dangerous areas, all kinds of wild monsters, these can wait.

Because monsters have active areas.

If no one provoked them, the monsters from the overseas archipelago would not easily go to other territories, including the most aggressive and predatory large pterosaurs, and most of their hunting ranges were fixed. So the most troublesome ones are the natives. As long as the natives are defeated, there will be time to clean up other small troubles.

Besides!

For Sauron, the natives have a greater meaning. The slave population labor force he needs to grow, I am afraid that in the end he will have to find a way from the natives.

If so, then things need to be seriously planned!

(PS: Make some adjustments, the status is much better. The two changes will return to normal, and there will be more at the end of the month.) (To be continued ~^~)
