Chapter 674 Rules Beyond Matter
Zhao Mai calmed down, got rid of the influence of the world's will, and decided to proceed step by step, but brother and sister Zeratul and Thranduil did not have such good conditions. Under the influence of the will of the world, after repeatedly studying what Zhao Mai said and what he did along the way, they believed that he was most likely the Maiya they were looking for.
"You two want to help me?" When they were close to returning to Blackfoot's territory, the two elves found Zhao Mai again and expressed their willingness to assist Zhao Mai in completing his plan, and then go with him to find the missing Celebrimbor . Zhao Mai thought for a while. Although this was a good idea, it would be very troublesome in actual operation.
"You two can indeed help me manage the slaves and save me a lot of trouble, but there is a question you two have thought about. I am an orc, and everything I produce here is used by every orc I send out. Those who come to war are fighting elves, humans, dwarves and more people you care about. If you say you are willing in front of me, isn't that lying?" Zhao Mai shook his head and refused: "Don't try to use If you use this method to improve your status and exert influence on me, you will become slaves. Now get out, I don't need elves who can't recognize reality."
The two elves looked at each other. They never thought that they would be rejected. The will of the world made them full of confidence, and they had even made a step-by-step follow-up plan, but everything was cut off by Zhao Mai. The confusion in the hearts of the two people was difficult to resolve, and they were still confused until they followed other slaves back to Zhao Mai's settlement.
Zhao Mai felt relaxed, full of confidence and energy. After Sauron gave the order to assemble the orcs to prepare for the attack, most of the strong orcs on the Nuern Plains went to the north, leaving behind basically the old, weak, sick and disabled. Therefore, managing this place does not require strong martial arts. Daryl is like this The shooting master seems to be a bit overkill. When Duchard arrived, Zhao Mai's dominance became more stable.
Rule and management are stable, but it does not mean that the work is easy to complete. Daryl has a sad expression on his face. When he saw Zhao Mai, he just threw a sheepskin over without any greetings.
One side of the sheepskin had been scraped and treated with medicine, and an orc notice was written on it in blood-laced ink. "According to the number of orcs under management, corresponding supplies will be handed over and used for frontline battles, 80%?! How do the war chiefs and generals know how many orcs they have under their command? Is there a census?"
"It's very likely that they can't count, so any number is possible." Daryl revealed the truth in one word: "Boss, they will only take more at a time. But just come back." , it’s okay to pay taxes with your fists.”
"But if I punch you, I will eventually be responsible to the Ring Spirit and Demon King Sauron. They know how to count." Zhao Mai snorted: "If it doesn't work, just change the direction and continue to let me work for this world? Either serve the dark forces or go out to find missing people?”
"Leader, what did you say?"
"It's nothing. Since these materials are for the war, then we should obey the Demon King's request and contribute to Modo." Zhao Mai said to Daryl: "Add more slaves, reclaim wasteland, and gather the surrounding orc settlements. . Most of the strong orcs have gone to the north now, right? Tell the orcs and slaves that from now on, they will all obey my orders. Anyone who dares to affect the overall situation of planting and production will be suppressed regardless of the reason!"
Daryl nodded: "Yes, leader!"
"By the way, if you encounter someone who is unwilling to obey me, just ask him to ask me about my fist. If you don't dare to come, then I will go." Zhao Mai snorted coldly and added: "It's just that if I go , it is impossible for them to survive, so I must be prepared, so that I can fully move my muscles and bones before death, and don't be as anticlimactic as the fire crow."
Daryl laughed. With Lord Blackfoot's strong combat power as the guarantee, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.
The actual situation is actually better than Daryl and Zhao Mai expected. Since most of the orcs who could fight, and those who thought they could, headed north in search of a chance to make their fortune, the orcs who remained had little security. Mordor has never been a paradise, and in many places it is difficult for even orcs to survive. The wandering wolves are pretty good. At least they can still have meat to eat after they concentrate their efforts to eliminate them. If there is a disaster caused by the proliferation of ghouls, even the orcs can only survive by relying on city walls and fortresses.
Therefore, they naturally need the protection of powerful orcs, which is actually no different from humans and elves. The battles in nature and the pressure on the food chain will not change depending on whether the race is righteous or evil. As a druid, Zhao Mai understands this deeply.
When they are at a disadvantage in the battle with nature, the orcs will also unite, or it is more accurate to say that they gather together to protect each other. Daryl and Duchart brought Zhao Mai's wishes to the orc settlements seeking asylum. The title "Blackfoot of Mordor" is still very seductive, especially since it is a title recognized by the Dark Lord Sauron.
Zhao Mai can be immune to the influence of the world's will, but others cannot. The title of orc is not given randomly, each one will have an impact on the will of the world. Fame, reputation and influence, these originally invisible forces, began to become tangible things after Zhao Mai saw the will of the world. He witnessed with his eyes what it means to "come here because of the fame and return with the expectation".
It's just that the combat effectiveness of these orcs is too weak. This is not gender discrimination. The combat effectiveness of female orcs is at least higher than that of human women. However, they are basically always in a state of pregnancy and preparation for pregnancy, which takes up a lot of their physical strength and energy. A new orc can be born in a five-month gestation period, and only two weeks of rest is needed before a new round of production begins.
It seems that Sauron's dark power is also strengthening their desires and abilities in this area, so it is foreseeable that Zhao Mai's settlement will soon become a large delivery room, and countless new orcs will be born, grow rapidly, and become an army of darkness. the backbone of.
The premise is that there is enough food to feed them.
Zhao Mai has many methods in this regard, but even without Zhao Mai's presence, Sauron can do the same thing. As the orcs gathered, Sauron's power also increased, and the sky of Mordor began to change. The growth rate of various crops was greatly accelerated, and more fruits were produced. But this is not a force of nature. What Sauron consumes is the nutrients of the land. Over time, this area will become more and more barren, and even turn into desert.
Then, Zhao Mai discovered the third world will that was resisting, the neutral will of nature, in addition to the two world wills of darkness and light.
"The force of nature..."
