Chapter 66 Foundation
Time passed day by day.
In a blink of an eye, Sauron has been here for almost five days, and the camp is completely different from when he came here. Outside the camp is a row of five-meter-high fences, and every 100 meters there is a simple arrow tower, the kind that climbs up the ladder to the sentry tower. The camp has four gates in the south, east, north and west. The east is where Sauron lives, the west is where other pirates live, the south is a warehouse for storing a lot of materials, and the north is where a large number of slaves are imprisoned.
The layout of the camp is square, with specially dug drainage ditches on both sides of the road, and even built toilets on all sides.
This is something other pirates can't understand!
Because this era itself is dirty and chaotic, even the developed cities in the coastal areas rarely set up special toilets, and many people have to go to the alley to solve the problem. But this is very important to Sauron. Although he used to live in a poor area, when he had the conditions to plan directly, the first order he gave was to build toilets. From today onwards, everyone can't defecate anywhere in the camp. If they want to relieve themselves, they must go to a special toilet. Whoever dares to pee in the camp will be caught by him and even the tools of the crime will be chopped off!
Sanitation is the number one priority.
Because the environment of the overseas islands is easy to breed mosquitoes, if the disease spreads, it is definitely not what Sauron wants to see. Besides, no one likes to accidentally step on other people's excrement on their own territory. Although Sauron has no cleanliness, this is still very important.
Now look down from the sky.
The camp is an irregular square, a bit like a town and village in the Greek period, with a large square in the center, mainly for the convenience of gathering people. The four sides are separated by two cross streets. The ground has been leveled. Although it is all dirt roads, ditches have been dug around the road surface, and several wells have been dug nearby to drain the sewage. There are many houses being built in the camp, but most of them are not yet finished. The only thing that is finished is the warehouse.
This is mainly because of the fear of rain!
The warehouse must be completed as soon as possible, which is more important than the house where Sauron lives, because many materials cannot be exposed to rain.
The food reserves are enough for more than three months of consumption, but it is better to store food in the warehouse. Bacon and other things are okay, and other things will quickly become moldy if they get wet.
In the place where the slaves worked, there were also two crosses.
The corpse above has almost turned into bones. The whole process can be said to be very cruel, and many slaves are so frightened that they dare not look here, even today. The two wooden stakes here will be erected for another two days, and a lot of vultures and crows will be attracted in seven days, and these scavengers just blatantly peck at the corpses. Looking at it makes many people scalp trouble. The effect of torture is undoubtedly effective, at least the slaves were very honest during this period.
And because Sauron had told the pirates not to beat them too much, and to give them enough food, the slaves had to work hard every day during this period. But at least it can fill your stomach. And yesterday, I went fishing impromptu because of Your Throat Cutter. The sharks caught were too much meat to eat, and the shark fins and so on were taken away, and then they, the slaves, ate a full meal of fish meat and fish soup.
It's actually pretty good here!
Although primitive and desolate, there are also many dangerous things. Mosquitoes are annoying, but the resources here are really rich. Some slaves caught a kind of fat vole when they were working. The native slaves ate them raw, and other slaves could eat them with fire when they brought them back. On the contrary, they eat better here than in the past. From time to time, they eat meaty fish or something. The main reason is that the nearby sea area has not been developed much, and big crabs can be picked up on the beach.
In a certain way, there is really a great northwest feeling of beating roe deer.
Slaves themselves are people with nothing, so their requirements are not very high. They can fill their stomachs while working hard, and occasionally have a little bit of meat, so many people can restrain their minds. After all, Sauron had clearly told them that the fate of escaping and being caught was very miserable, and even after death, they couldn't escape easily. Besides, some of the slaves believed what Vivienne said, that when the timing was right, Sauron would free some of those who worked hard.

Inside the big tent in the center.
Sauron frowned and scribbled and changed on a piece of white paper. He looked up at the sky and murmured: "After calculating the time, they should all return to Port Taylor, right? I guess it will take half an hour to go back and forth." In one month, I should be able to bring back what I need in January next year, and then I can start the next step of the plan.”
"It's the end of December! Doesn't it look like Chinese New Year is coming?"
Sauron walked out of the tent, silently calculated in his mind, and found that the New Year was indeed only a few days away.
This world does not have such a strong New Year's celebration custom, but there is still a tradition of making good preparations for the New Year. When Sauron came, it was mid-December, and now it is late December, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few days. The New Year is actually fine. The most important thing in this world is the [Harvest Festival]. This is the biggest celebration of the year. And this celebration is common to most of the gods. In the south, the goddess of agriculture is sacrificed, in the north, the goddess of ice and snow is sacrificed, and in the coastal areas, the goddess of the sea is sacrificed.
Even the drow elves would pray to the Spider God Queen for a year's harvest during the [Harvest Festival] every year. After all, filling the stomach is the most basic and important thing for any race.
Sauron looked outside and walked towards the sea.
He asked his pirate leader to drive away two ships, but some warships remained outside. The cargo ship of the chamber of commerce has also returned. Sauron's order is a large amount of supplies. They will take three months to ship a part every half a month. The most important of these is the slave resource. Sauron cannot grow without the labor force. Letting those pirate minions work in a short period of time will not rebound, but if they are really used as labor, these pirates will complain. The sound is all over the sky.
at present.
They probably know that the base camp has just been established, and no one can avoid hard work. After the camp is established, these pirates will not be so diligent.

the other side.
Vivienne's petite figure was squatting beside a mud pit, and she was playing with a pile of mud in her white hands, as if she was making a clay figurine, and was shaped into various shapes by her little hands. The little girl squatted next to the mud pit and seemed to have been playing for a long time. Even the snow-white princess dress was covered with a little mud. After about ten minutes, she kneaded the mud into something that looked like a square. Immediately afterwards, he raised his small palm and began to cast spells.
——"Turn mud into stone!"
A faint magical light emerged, and the soil in front of him gradually turned into rocks, but it didn't seem to be strong, it looked like the weathered one.
The little girl seemed to be a little annoyed, she kicked the mud away and murmured, "It's so difficult!"
"Why are spells above the fifth ring so difficult?"
"Obviously the fourth-ring spell is quite easy, but how did it become so much more difficult once you entered the fifth ring? Lilian? Why do you think we haven't been able to master this spell?"
There was a brief silence.
Then Lilian said in a natural voice: "I don't have to go through such trouble to learn spells! Those who need to learn spells are not real geniuses! Mmmm!...That's it!..."
Needless to say.
Vivian also knew that she was asking for nothing.
The little girl got up and snapped her fingers, and then there was a faint magical light, and then her body became clean. Vivienne patted her little hands, raised her hands to straighten the corners of her skirt, and then planned to go back to sleep. But at this moment, she heard a sound coming from the bushes in the distance, followed by a figure rushing out of it. It was an ugly man with a tattoo on his face, earrings all over his ears, and a scar on his skull.
This is a pirate.
There are quite a few people with strange shapes in Sauron's subordinates, but there are very few good-looking guys who can show their hands anyway.
He is a sentinel sent out to monitor the movement nearby.
There was no panic on Vivienne's face. Although she was just a little girl who was just approaching nine years old, she was quite calm at this moment. The little girl approached little by little while paying attention to the movement nearby. She saw a blow dart on the back of the pirate sentinel in front of her. It was a weapon as thin as a needle, and most of it was smeared with quite powerful poison. Either it had the effect of sealing the throat with blood, or it could quickly anesthetize people. die. The little girl approached very carefully, and at the same time, several spells had already been blessed on her body.
The grass in the distance moved.
But no one chased him out. When Vivienne walked over, the pirate was not completely unconscious, but said in a broken voice, "Eldest... Miss!...Native...indigenous people!..."
After speaking, he passed out directly.
It seems that the drug on the blow dart is a kind of nerve anesthesia drug, not a poison that seals the throat when it sees blood.
This kind of thing is very troublesome.
It is necessary to resist a mandatory physical immunity test. Maybe Sauron is more likely to pass, but it is difficult for other pirates to resist.
Vivienne stretched out her fingers to check his breath, and after confirming that he was not dead, she ran towards the camp.
The natives appeared!
This must be told to my brother quickly, because the indigenous people are very xenophobic and are likely to attack!
