Mordor City, Port Area.
A melodious bell suddenly came from the lighthouse, and then the bell gradually became faster. Then someone ran over from the dock and said excitedly, "Fish!"
"Fish migration! … "
"This year's fish migration has begun! It's less than 50 kilometers away from Mordor City! … "
This sound seemed to ignite the entire port area.
Immediately, many people rushed over from all directions. After a few questions, a person dressed as a captain immediately shouted, "Call for help! Hurry up and get those drunkards out of the tavern for me! … "
"Prepare a big net! … "
"Gather people! I'm going to the sea temple now! We're going out to sea right away! … "
The port area suddenly became lively.
Even the City Hall of Mordor City was busy. Many officials came to the port area. Even the navy stationed in Mordor City was mobilized. Battleships were replaced with giant nets, and then they began to gather sailors to go out to sea.
Fish migration.
This was one of the most spectacular scenes in Mordor City!
It was also a harvest feast for coastal cities like Mordor City. The scale of overseas fish migration was simply incredible. Basically, it had reached the point where a fishing net could be thrown down and it would be too full to be dragged. In the face of the arrival of the fish migration, the sea temple moved very quickly. The priest in charge of the temple immediately realized that this was an opportunity to expand their faith. The Naga Sirens rarely appeared in front of the mortals and temporarily built a small altar in the dock area.
The sea goddess blessed the city and promised that there would be a good harvest for three years, so this time the scale of the fish migration was even larger!
This even alarmed Gloria, who had just finished an experiment.
With the skyrocketing population of Mordor City, the food rationing was naturally a little tight. Now was the spring planting season, which was a time of shortage. The price of food on the mainland soared. Although Mordor City had stocked up a lot of food, it was not suitable to buy from other places.
— — "Fly!"
Gloria waved her hand, signaling the officials who came to report to leave and let them handle this matter. Then, she flew into the air and flew towards the sea.
The outer islands were dangerous.
Even something like the migration of fishes required some powerhouses to oversee it.
This was because a school of fish represented an abundance of food. This food was very likely to attract the deep-sea beasts to feast on it. This was a feast to be shared. If they were careless and provoked, these deep-sea beasts might attack the fleet.
Ships set sail one after another.
The navy of Mordor City was also moving quickly, while a group of officials in the City Hall were biting their pens and thinking about how to formulate taxes.
The rich catch was a blessing from the Goddess of the Ocean.
This was a gift unique to the city of Mordor. It was certain that the fishing boats that went out to sea this time had a big harvest, but these harvests could not be given to those people. They had to pay the corresponding taxes. There had to be a certain level of taxation, or else it would cause dissatisfaction among the lower class. This was a test of their ability. Søren's philosophy was not to collect more taxes, but to exploit and oppress, there had to be some leftovers for the lower class. They had to come up with a tax plan that others could accept.
The boundless sea.
Gloria's figure quickly flew into the depths of the sea. Behind her were thousands of ships. Even some small boats were going out to sea, ready to make a fortune.
Farther away!
Even the sky was covered with silver-white scales. These scales stretched for more than ten kilometers. At this moment, they were gradually approaching the port of Mordor.
This was not the length of the school of fish.
What Gloria saw was only the width of the school of fish. When she flew higher, she immediately saw the endless silver-white scales spreading on the sea. Countless fish leaped out of the sea, reflecting brilliant light under the sun.
This was a scene filled with shock and magnificence!
Even Gloria could not help but be shocked. She had never seen such a spectacular scene.
Waves were flying.
Outside the school of fish were groups of sharks. They swam around endlessly. They could easily catch prey with a casual attack. These sharks would migrate with the school of fish. When this huge school of fish dispersed, they would stop this feast. Huge tentacles appeared in the sea on the right side. Giant octopuses lurked at the bottom of the sea and devoured fish crazily. This was the most relaxing time of the year for them. They could eat until they couldn't eat anymore.
"There are at least five deep-sea giant beasts!"
Gloria glanced around, and her expression gradually became serious.
The deep-sea giant beasts would not move with the school of fish. They would ambush and eat where the school of fish passed by. As long as they were careful to avoid them, the sharks would not threaten the fleet of Mordor.
Closer.
Closer and closer.
When the fleet saw the first batch of approaching fish, many sailors could not help but open their mouths in surprise.
This was only the front part. On both sides of the ship, there were schools of fish swimming. From time to time, there were fish leaping out of the water. Nearby were dolphins that were eating their fill. They carefully distanced themselves from the ship.
Farther away!
Some tiger sharks appeared. The lookout took a look with a monocular and shouted, "Sharkman!"
"There are traces of Sharkman over there!"
The captain also looked at it, and then his expression gradually calmed down and said, "Don't panic! They are also here to hunt fish! These guys drive some prey from the school of fish to their territory every year. "
Hundreds of tiger sharks emerged from the sea.
The Sharkman cautiously kept a sufficient distance from the city of Mordor, and then avoided the deep-sea giant beasts. They used the unique way of their race to separate a part from the left side of the school of fish, and then drove the school of fish away under the leadership of the priest. They used a special sound wave to guide the school of fish and directly took away tens of millions of fish. This kind of thing will continue to happen on the way of the migration of fish. Sharkman, dark-scaled naga, tidal fishman, Amazon warriors, and so on. Every race near the overseas area will enjoy a feast during the migration of fish.
"Cast the net!"
"Cast the net!"
"Idiot! Wait a minute! The silver-scaled fish behind are more valuable! Wait for their school to come over and cast the net! … … "
Angry roars rose one after another.
Large nets were cast one after another, and the hold of the ship was almost emptied. Some small fishing boats had only cast the net three times, and they were completely full. They could only rush to the port, planning to unload the fish and come back a few more times.
There were too many fish!
Some of the half-grown boys could reach into the water and catch a stingray that weighed three to five pounds.
It stretched for hundreds of miles.
No one knew if it was because of the blessing of the sea goddess, but this year's fish migration could be said to be spectacular to the epic level!
A net that was cast down would catch over a hundred catties of fish. In less than half an hour, many ships were completely unable to carry the fish. In the end, a large number of ships began to frantically return. The port area had already been cleared and a large amount of space had been opened up. The first ships to return directly used wooden buckets to carry the fish and threw them at the dock.
The clerks of the port of Mordor were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. They took pens and recorded quickly. Now there was no time to count what fish they had caught, so they could only carry it in piles.
Suddenly!
A clerk looked up at the sky over the city of Mordor, and then he opened his mouth wide with a shocked expression. He didn't even notice that the quill pen fell to the ground.
A high-pitched dragon's roar sounded!
A shadow dragon that had just reached adulthood rose into the air from somewhere in Modor City, then it flapped its huge dragon wings and flew high. The dragon's roar was mixed with a cheerful aura. It rushed towards the fish in the distance like crazy. It dived directly into the bottom of the sea, and then rushed out from the bottom of the sea.
A gust of wind whistled.
The figures of the Quetzalcoatlus also rose into the air. This was a feast for everyone. The Dragon Knights of Mordor City also released their mounts to let them have a good meal!
