Chapter 36: Spirits of the Ancestors (Part 1)

There was crying and screaming in the indigenous tribe.

The elite pirates harvested the heads expressionlessly, giving pleasure to the wounded but not dead native warriors. More than 2,000 troops have occupied every corner of the indigenous tribe. Although there are still scattered sounds of fighting, they are quickly cleaned up. There was a strong smell of blood hanging over the entire tribe, and the pirates were used to it, but many of the half-elves were pale. These half-elves haven't experienced many battles, and they are still far behind the pirates who have experienced many battles.

Sauron stood there and pondered for a long time.

After a while, a figure with a scarred face appeared in front of him, leaned over and said, "Your Excellency Sauron! All rebels have been wiped out."

"Very good." Sauron turned around and glanced at him, then said in a deep voice, "How about the casualties?"

Scarface immediately replied: "Seventy or eighty people were killed and more than 300 were injured. The subordinates have already arranged people to treat them."

Casualties are okay.

Sauron nodded upon hearing this. No matter how powerful he is in this kind of battle, the pirates under his command will inevitably suffer casualties. However, this level is still within the acceptable range, but it will affect his next plan.

"Everything is going according to plan!"

Sauron glanced at the aboriginal slaves who were surrounded together, and said in a deep voice: "Find out the surrounding terrain first, and set up a cordon outside. There should be an aboriginal tribe here. Be careful of them sneaking up on us at night."

Scarface replied: "Understood."

In the sacrifice just now, there were obviously indigenous people of different ethnic groups, and the oil paints on the bodies of the two sides were different, which should belong to another tribe. Sauron was not in a hurry to attack them, but was going to stabilize the business here first. The indigenous tribe that was taken down was not small, with a population probably close to 8,000 to 9,000 people. Such a large number of captives could not be digested in a short time. Sauron is going to send all the dangerous ones to Modo City. Because the evil god he served died under Sauron's hands, many warriors in the indigenous tribe also gave up resistance.

These fighters cannot stay here.

Because as long as they are given a chance, they can use anything as a weapon to threaten Sauron's pirates.

They had to be sent to Modo City as coolies, and those that were too difficult to control were simply transported to the south coast as slaves for sale. Many places liked to use this fierce native warrior as a gladiator.

Soldiers are cleaning the battlefield. Many aborigines have gold and silver ornaments on their bodies, which were directly stripped off.

The mines on Treasure Island are quite rich, but because there is no trade, the natives make gold into various simple decorations. The purpose of Sauron's coming here is to further increase his own wealth. Now he has more and more troops under his command, and now he can carry it with the support of trade. If the saint catastrophe breaks out in the future, all trade will inevitably be hit hard. At that time, most of the income from trade was lost, and the support of these troops could only rely on the resources of Treasure Island.

This is why Sauron so generously promised to help transport the half-elves to avoid taxes for the next two or three years.

the reason is simple.

The saint catastrophe lasted for more than two years!

It was not until the end of the turbulent period that the wounds were slowly recovered. Basically, all chambers of commerce would only be able to make more money this year, and it would be difficult to conduct trade after the upheaval.

All right.

Sauron is really like the devil sometimes, because he didn't break his promise. It's just that the future trade is not so easy to foresee in advance.

If anyone can still make a fortune in turbulent times, it is their own ability!

Businessmen naturally don't know this yet.

Recently, because Modo City has accepted so many half-elves, the demand for various materials is quite large! On the one hand, they were busy delivering goods to Sauron, trying to increase the favorability of the Pirate King. On the other hand, materials are purchased from various places and resold in Modo City, trying to avoid taxes for the next four or five years at one go. Then get a command flag bestowed by the Pirate King or something. In this way, they can walk sideways on the sea, and basically no one will come to provoke them without eyes.

Sauron's funds are flowing out substantially!

Except for important materials such as food, other things that can be hoarded are sent to Modo one by one. With this money, it is now possible to buy a large number of material reserves. By next year, it is estimated that if you have money, you will not be able to buy much.

The war disrupted production.

Everything you prepare now is for future changes.

………………

soon.

Pieces of gold and silverware were moved out of the houses of the aborigines and dignitaries, and at a glance, there were a lot of golden piles.

"Pooh!"

Scarface spat, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I didn't expect these guys to be really rich! Your Excellency Sauron. How about we do another vote?"

Sauron glanced at him, shook his head slowly and said, "There is no need to rush. The most important thing now is to send the captives back."

"There are gold mines around here."

"From now on, you will stay here and arrange manual mining, and I will let the giant stay, in case there is anything to deal with. Be careful of other natives on this island, and don't act recklessly!"

Scarface once suffered a loss in Viper Island, so he nodded immediately and said: "Understood. Don't worry, Your Excellency."

"I won't make the same mistake a second time."

Although the giant is the worst brain among many pirate leaders, his fighting power is strong enough. Although he has not yet reached the legendary realm, the blood of the mud giant directly gives him a legendary fighting strength. Sauron had sent him to Arendelle to deal with Vrykul pirates, and the effect was quite good. He also had a good relationship with Scarface, and staying here could deter other forces. In case of a battle, there is no need to worry about not being able to beat the enemy.

After all, many of the more than legendary creatures on this island can't get very far!

Spirits are similar to earthbound spirits.

One day passed quickly, and the next day Sauron arranged for some of the captives to be taken back. There was no need to leave too many people here, a maximum of a thousand people would be enough for gold mining. However, the garrison force is still strong, because there are too many dangerous creatures on Treasure Island. Monsters may be encountered on the route between Modo Island and Treasure Island. Sauron is not yet ready to go back in person, but he will let the mutated killer whale escort him. In the future, the mutated killer whale will serve as a giant sea beast entrenched here, and include the vicinity of the route into its territory, so as to prevent other sea giant beasts from approaching.

In the sea, every sea monster will not easily set foot in the territory of other monsters!
