Chapter 568 Post-War Confrontation!
The Mordor army carried out the siege in an orderly manner. In less than 3 years, the entire Middle Continent was completely under its rule.
Facing those noble lords who were willing to surrender, Saruman's actions were exactly as the nobles expected. She incorporated all the lords into her own army.
Not only that, she did not even replan or change their territories.
Instead, she only confiscated their wealth and directly let them continue to manage it under the tax farming system.
There was not even a supervisor, and the nobles were allowed to continue to rule their territories.
This move also made Alduin completely give up Saruman, because she did not understand politics and management at all, and was completely messing around.
However, in the face of Alduin's persuasion, Saruman firmly believed that his approach was correct and carried it out unswervingly.
Alduin had no choice but to give up thinking and become a dragon roar tool man.
After all, he could not betray his mother. He could not overthrow Saruman and ascend the throne himself.
Let's not talk about whether Alduin is willing to take care of the empire's mess and the intrigues with a group of mortals.
Although Alduin has the ability to do so, don't forget that Xiao can still be alive.
Although Xiao has not appeared for a long time, he has always been at the bottom of the Dragon Abyss, enjoying the good life accompanied by the drow elves,
and has established a huge underground world with those drow elves.
Alduin knows that if he dares to do this, Xiao will definitely jump out of the Dragon Abyss and teach her a lesson.
Therefore, she can only accept the status quo silently and no longer object to Saruman's policies.
He is really too lazy to care.
Saruman's incompetence will inevitably lead to serious consequences. She not only put herself in trouble, but also brought heavy disasters to the Mordor Empire.
The army of the Free Federation is growing stronger with the support of nobles from all over the world. Like a steel torrent, it swept across the entire western continent, clearing the forces of Mordor from every corner, leaving no chance for the enemy to breathe.
The Free Federation never fought head-on, relying on the powerful mobility brought by the eagles and dragons to conduct guerrilla warfare and deliberately avoid all the dragons of the Age of Gods.
In front of thousands of eagles and dragons, Mordor seemed extremely passive.
Although they had a large number, they lacked unified command and strategic planning and could not effectively resist the attack of the Free Federation.
During this time, Saruman was extremely angry.
She watched her power being weakened bit by bit, and her power was taken away by others, but she was powerless.
She tried to organize a counterattack, but failed every time.
He knew that if he could not find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, her rule would face a serious crisis.
So Saruman decided to take more radical measures.
She ordered the orcs to intensify the investigation of nobles from all over the country, hoping to find some clues or evidence to prove that these nobles had some connection with Mordor.
However, this approach did not achieve the desired effect.
On the contrary, when performing tasks, the orcs often abused their power and cruelly persecuted innocent people.
Not to mention that the orcs are still a group of animals with lower bodies, not to mention the ugly village women, sometimes they don't even let go of animals.
Faced with the atrocities of the orcs, the people of the Western Continent finally couldn't bear it anymore.
They took up arms and formed an uprising army to launch an unprecedented clearing operation against the orcs.
In this process, many villages and towns were liberated, and Mordor's power was further weakened.
Although Mordor's army is large in number, compared with the billions of creatures on the entire continent, they are only a tiny part after all.
As time went on, Mordor's army gradually fell into trouble, and their defenses were broken step by step by the rebels.
The orcs also suffered heavy losses, and many soldiers died on the battlefield.
Although Mordor had an undead dragon army, it was ultimately a drop in the bucket.
Even during this period, several dragons of the Age of Gods were surrounded and hunted, and their bones were hidden by the Free Federation. Even if Alduin wanted to resurrect them, he was powerless.
Fortunately, after occupying the entire Middle Continent, Mordor began to search for the remains of dragons everywhere, and resurrected hundreds of dragons in a few years.
These remains do not need to be completely complete, as long as more than one-third of the body is enough for Alduin to complete the resurrection ceremony.
While Alduin continued to resurrect dragons, he also allowed his dragons to breed offspring.
The dragons of the First World do not need aliens, but can breed offspring independently.
As long as there is enough magic power supply, Ankara can lay 10 dragon eggs in just one year, and the rest of the dragons of the Age of Gods can at least give birth to one.
The few killed by the Free Federation will not have much impact on the entire dragon army.
The Mordor Army even found the remains of the ancestor dragon Glaurung on a small island north of the Blue Mountains.
Although Glaurung is a wingless dragon, its power is still at the level of the Valar.
Even the reason why Glaurung was killed by the hero Turin was because Turin held the sword of death in his hand-the black sword Gulsan.
This sword was made by Eol, the greatest swordsmith of the elves, using meteorite iron from outer space.
The One-A World is a standard round earth world, so there is no such thing as outer space. The outer space is the void, where the Ainu live.
Therefore, the essence of meteorite is actually the body fragments left by the Ainu after their death.
As a low-ranking dark elf who had never seen the twin trees, Eol is said to have incorporated his inner malice into the sword when forging it, giving it his own consciousness.
Gulsan naturally became an extremely deadly weapon, and anyone stabbed by it would face a fate of certain death.
Even the gods could not escape this kind of death, which shows how powerful Gulsan is.
Therefore, Glaurung's death was not due to his own lack of strength, but because his opponent used a cheat.
Despite this, Glaurung's huge corpse was still transported to Mordor by the dragons.
Under the spell of Alduin, Glaurung was resurrected again.
Unlike other dragons, Glaurung is a ruler with extremely high wisdom.
He once ruled the entire kingdom of Nargothrond north of the mountains, showing outstanding leadership and wisdom.
As the first dragon, Morgoth obviously had high hopes for Glaurung and endowed him with extremely high wisdom.
The resurrection of Glaurung not only means that Mordor has added a powerful general, but more importantly, Mordor has welcomed a member with excellent management skills.
