Mordor City, Redwater Town.
This land was close to the sea. Whenever there was a catch, there would be a large number of red fish swimming back. The nearby rivers were all red, which was how the name came about.
At this time, it was already August. Because the time of town construction was different, the wheat harvest was also early and late, and Redwater Town was the last batch of harvested towns. At this time, most of the food had been dried and collected, and a man dressed as an official was going door to door with his entourage to count. Mordor City had its own rules. All the food sales could not be done privately. The surplus food was uniformly purchased, and then the City hall would stabilize the price. The price of food was set according to the market price. At first, it was very smooth, but there was a little disturbance when they received the second row.
"Not for sale."
"My family has a large population, so we consume a lot of food."
It was a man dressed as a rich businessman who spoke a northern dialect. At this moment, his small eyes squinted and looked around. It seemed that he was arguing with the official in front of him.
Peter frowned and looked at the man in front of him. His purchase of food had been very smooth, but he didn't expect to encounter trouble here. He glanced at the servant behind the man and said, "How many people do you have in your family? How much food do you consume? What is this year's harvest? "
"Come."
"Bring me the file of his registration."
Soon.
The attendant took a file from the mayor. Peter just glanced at it and couldn't help laughing. He said, "There are only twelve people in your family. Can you eat so much food? I heard that you have acquaintances in the port. Are you planning to sell food privately? "
Speaking of this, Peter's expression suddenly became cold.
The rich businessman broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He didn't want to sell food. He just wanted to hoard it. Now the world was getting chaotic. The price of food had been rising. If there was a way to transport it out and sell it, it would be the best. But this thing couldn't be said openly because Mordor City had recently introduced a new law. All the food was strictly prohibited from private sales, otherwise, they would go to jail.
Peter had seen a lot of such people along the way. At this time, he said without hesitation, "Food is purchased at the market price. Hoarding and private sales are strictly prohibited."
"Violators will have their fields confiscated and sent to hard labor."
After saying that, Peter didn't hold back and directly ordered people to get the food. Then, after calculating for a moment, he threw a bag of silver coins in front of the other party.
"This is Mordor City."
Peter thought for a moment and came before the rich merchant in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "It's not the Northern Territory, nor is it the Southern Sea. The first thing you have to learn here is to abide by the rules. Otherwise, you will definitely have to pay the price. "
Ever since the City hall had requested for a unified management of food, they had encountered a lot of trouble.
Some people wanted to stockpile food, fearing that prices would rise in the future. Some people planned to secretly transport the grain out and sell it because of this year's bumper harvest and the increase in grain prices. For this kind of situation, the officials of Mordor City had always been unreasonable, because the current policy was food control. Those who were unwilling to sell food because they were dissatisfied with the price of Mordor City were all captured to do hard labor. Søren's rule was never blindly benevolent, and there were many evil people among the officials of Mordor. They would follow the rules, but their methods were cold enough. This year, the price of food on the mainland had been rising. Many of the first batch of people who harvested in Mordor City, whether they were civilians or rich merchants, had the intention to transport the food outside to sell. In this case, the City hall's measure was compulsory purchase. At this time, there was no need for any reason at all, because without Mordor City, they would not have what they had now. If they could not count on their gratitude, they could only use the law to maintain it.
At the same time.
In the port area of Mordor City, ships full of food were also ready to go.
This year, Mordor City ushered in a bumper harvest, but all the food was forcibly purchased by the City hall at the market price. At this time, these ships full of food were ready to go out to sea, and the fleet would transport them all the way to the Wind Spear Hills.
This time the government order had little impact on ordinary people.
Because the price of Mordor City had always been stable, the merchants were the ones who were most affected. They expected to earn double or even triple the price by selling food privately. However, everything in Mordor City was to serve Søren. In the face of the general trend of developing the Wind Spear Hills, anyone who had their own plans would be crushed.
The City Lord's mansion.
The dissatisfaction of the merchants was passed to Gloria through some channels, but after learning about this matter, Gloria just said lightly, "Catch a few leaders and deal with them."
The plan of the Wind Spear Hills could not be interfered with.
Gathering refugees meant a large consumption of food, and in the future, they would need Mordor City to provide a steady stream of supplies. For these merchants who only wanted to make profits, Gloria did not mind catching a few examples and killing them.
…
A small episode did not have much impact.
However, some people still found some clues from the clues. Mordor City had implemented a 'food control' decree, and then other supplies seemed to be restricted to a certain extent. Some smart people had realized that Mordor City seemed to be going to war because the City hall was stocking up on supplies. The Chamber of Commerce, which had been a little restless, immediately calmed down because Mordor City had never been soft-hearted when killing people during the war.
Wind Spear Hills, border.
These ragged refugees were sent to shacks that stretched for several miles. They would wait here for three days. First, they would be checked for diseases, then they would count the population, register their names, and then they would be sent to other places in the Wind Spear Hills.
In just three days, the Wind Spear Hills had taken in nearly fifteen thousand refugees.
And this number was still increasing. Because of the news of relief, refugees from the entire southern region were approaching here.
The priests sent by the Church of Agriculture had reached more than 100 people. Similarly, the Goddess of River and the Goddess of Sprouts had also sent priests. They were responsible for guiding the irrigation of ditches. After a simple rest, these refugees were thrown into busy work.
Digging ditches, reclaiming land, repairing roads, and building walls.
In order to deal with the next impact of the Avatar Crisis, Mordor City sent a large number of clay golems to prepare to build walls in the south and north of the Wind Spear Hills. At the same time, more than 10,000 permanent legions would be stationed in these two places.
The population under Søren's control increased sharply.
The Wind Spear Hills itself had a population of more than 100,000, and after accepting a large number of refugees, the number soon exceeded 200,000.
According to this progress, the population under the control of Mordor City and the Wind Spear Hills would soon exceed one million. The expanding population meant a steady stream of believers. The number of refugees accepted quickly expanded to more than 30,000 people. Many of these people gave up their original gods and turned to Søren and the Goddess of Agriculture.
The faith of ordinary people was not solid. With a little guidance, it was possible for them to believe in other gods.
In the period before the outbreak of the Avatar Crisis, the priests in the churches of the gods did the most to win faith and expand the influence of the gods.
Søren's believers increased by tens of thousands in a short period of time, and it was still increasing. The large-scale agricultural reclamation also brought benefits to the Goddess of Agriculture. Her clergy was closely related to all of this. With a little guidance, she could gain a lot of faith.
All the plans were being carried out in an orderly manner.
A bank opened by the Goddess of Wealth had also recently appeared in Mordor City. At present, it only accepted deposits and did not charge any fees. With a voucher, one could exchange at other wealth temples on the south coast at any time.
…
Bottomless Abyss, Shadow Kingdom.
In front of a magnificent temple, thousands of Demon Hunters were ready. Since controlling two-thirds of the land in the Kingdom of God, the Heroic Spirits in the Kingdom of God had temporarily slowed down their expansion. A large number of potential petitioners were transformed into new forms of Demon Hunters. At this time, most of the Heroic Spirits in the Kingdom of God had become Demon Hunters, and the number had reached thousands.
Metals from the Forgotten Land were continuously sent into the Kingdom of God.
These resources were forged into weapons and armor under the day and night work of the petitioners. At this time, the combat legion in the Kingdom of God had expanded to more than 10,000 people.
Unlike the army in Mordor City, most of the petitioners in the Kingdom of God were middle-grade and high-grade professions. There were almost no cannon fodder among them.
Gulumba Arena.
Since joining the evil gods, Balor Sauron seemed to have stopped his expansion plan, but he still continued to gather demons. Some were sent to the mining area to work hard, and others were thrown into the battle to eliminate the undead. Almost every day, thousands of Dretches were sent into the barracks of Gulumba Arena. Then 90% of the Dretches died in battle, and most of the survivors advanced.
This was an extremely cruel elimination rule.
In just half a month, tens of thousands of Dretches had died, but what followed was the birth of more middle-grade demons.
Now the worms near the Abyss Blood Pool had been reduced by half. Under the crazy extraction of Sauron, even the demons transformed by the Abyss Blood Pool could not keep up with the consumption rate.
At this time, the demonic army in the Guruba Arena had expanded to a size of about 50,000 people, and half of them were middle-ranked demons. These demons were gathered in the military camp, and in the magnificent forge, the demons and goblins were supervising the labourers as they worked hard, continuously forging weapons and equipment for them.
The smell of war was coming.
Almost everyone expected that the Demon Lord Sauron was preparing for a big battle, but they could not determine the target of the attack.
…
Time passed little by little.
Just as August was coming to an end, a great temple was suddenly built in Mordor to serve the Goddess of Agriculture.
At the same time, a dazzling divine light also rose from the temple. This was a light that mortals could not see, but gods and legendary professions could sense it. This was a temple favored by the Goddess of Agriculture. Shrouded in golden light, a beautiful woman also stepped into the depths of the temple.
On this day.
The Goddess of Agriculture came to Mordor in person and lived in the great temple that Søren prepared for her!
Thousands of druids and high-grade priests came to Mordor City overnight. On the surface, they were preparing for the biggest harvest celebration of Mordor City, but they were secretly guarding against any possible attacks with the Shadow Shrine.
On this day.
Søren left Mordor and went to the Abyss.
According to the content of the True God's Covenant, the Goddess of Agriculture would replace Søren in Mordor for the next half a month!
