Abyss Domination

Today, due to some unexpected incidents, the progress of exploring the wizard tower was postponed for a few days.

Because the old sea dog is back.

In fact, Sauron already thought that the old sea dog was dead. Some accidents cannot be avoided when sailing on the sea, such as encountering extremely powerful sea monsters, encountering terrible storms, ships accidentally running aground and so on. The fleet brought out by the old sea dog has been out of news for two months. Basically, the management of Modo City has already thought that he is dead, and the position has been arranged for others to take over. But what everyone didn't expect was that this guy came back alive.

He came back alive, and the old sea dog was not a particularly important figure in Modo's management.

But this time his return is a bit interesting.

Because the old sea dog brought back a lot of useful information to Sauron, this time he did not return to Modo City from the eastern route, but arrived at Modo from the other side of the Amazon rainforest along another route. This is a new route, and the safe return of the old sea dog proves that this route is not very dangerous, and in the simple nautical chart he drew, the final destination of this route is a huge and somewhat deserted island .

Located at the junction of the eastern world, the area is larger than the sum of the southern kingdoms. One-third of the land shows signs of desertification, but it is not as serious as the eastern countries. There are remnants of ancient ruins on the island, because the age is too old to see much on the surface, but there may be more undiscovered things underground.

Old Sea Dog and others discovered huge urban ruins, but did not see any aboriginal life.

This island is about two or three days away from the route in the eastern sea area. From the area they have explored so far, only some eastern pirates use the coastline here as a secret base.

No one from the eastern country has studied and explored this island in depth.

It's not that the people in the eastern country don't have the spirit of adventure, but that this island has some powerful ancient evils sealed in their legends.

The old sea dog and the others didn't encounter any ancient evil things, and it's unlikely that they would come back alive if they did. However, when they explored the edge of the city ruins, they encountered many undead and ghosts. These things are simply not something they can deal with. After losing a few people, the old sea dog decisively gave up further exploration, and directly led people to raid the lair of the Eastern pirates at night, and then robbed one of their warships and returned from the Amazon rainforest. Modo City.

The old sea dog still has some brains.

He actually knew to bring some valuable things from it back to show Sauron. Of course, what is valuable to Sauron is not gold jewelry. Modo City does not lack these things at all. What the old sea dog brought back was a bit of strange dark red soil, some special alchemy parts, corpses of mutated creatures living nearby, and a thing that looked like a light bulb.

In the words of the old sea dog, this thing is in a room in the ruins, and I don't know how long it has been lit.

There are two or three boxes of things that will be brought.

It's a pity that none of them are of amazing value. It can be seen that the old sea dog really just took people around for a while. Sauron picked up an alchemy part and glanced at it, then handed it to Gloria and the fallen witch beside him, and said in a deep voice, Could it be the fallen floating city?

Gloria looked at some of these sundries, frowned and shook her head, I can't be sure.

The alchemy of these things is not very high. If it really is a floating city that fell there, why didn't there be a big explosion? It stands to reason. There shouldn't be large cities that are relatively well preserved in the material plane. Ruins. It may just be another city of wizards buried in history, and we have to go and see the specific situation to be sure.

The fallen witch also nodded when she heard the words, and said slowly: It doesn't seem to be of much value at the moment, but maybe you can consider taking a look after you take down the wizard's tower.

On the material plane, the complete ruins of the floating city can only be found in the eastern countries.

Sauron nodded and said, Yes. I see.

finished. He turned his gaze to the nautical chart in front of him, according to the nautical chart drawn by the old sea dog. His return route will pass through the Amazon rainforest and finally reach the border of the Eastern Kingdom. Sauron tapped his finger lightly on the map, as if he was thinking about some important question, and he shook his head after a while. He reached out and erased a certain mark on the map.

The eastern sea is too far away.

Sauron stared at the nautical chart in front of him, and murmured: At this juncture when the saint catastrophe broke out, it is no longer suitable for him to expand the territory again. The reason for the Ice and Snow Kingdom is because of Princess Anna and the Eldest Princess. It can suppress those pirates, otherwise, because it is too far away from the south coast, the management would have been full of loopholes.

Eastern Sea.

The benefits of taking it down are simply disproportionate to the cost.

Sauron already sits on the territory of the Three Seas.

If the Eastern Sea Region is taken again, then basically the sea area of ​​human activities is close to completion, but the current situation is that the cost of winning the Eastern Sea Region is too high, and the benefits obtained are already very limited. One more Arendelle route is of little use to Sauron, he might as well put that energy elsewhere.

However, this sea area still needs to be marked.

The core territory of the Arcane Empire is in the Eastern Kingdom. When the Arcane Empire was destroyed, the place where the floating cities fell was the East. No one is sure whether they will encounter a dead mouse or not.

Time passed in a blink of an eye.

Just when Sauron was about to continue exploring the wizard's tower, a small accident happened again.

Fallen Leaf City.

A very important message was sent from Modo City's intelligence system, that is, some half-elves in Fallen Leaf City seemed to be organized. They prayed for Sauron's asylum and planned to migrate to the overseas islands collectively. Because of the importance of this matter, the people below could not decide at all, so it was sent to Sauron immediately. Half-elves are currently Sauron's main source of believers, so he also attaches great importance to this matter. He would definitely not have too much population. If the half-elves planned to move to the overseas islands, he would definitely welcome them.

but.

Modo City can no longer hold it.

In the original design, Modo City was a structure similar to ancient Rome, and the population it accommodated was only tens of thousands of people. Even if it was expanded for the third time, it would not exceed 100,000 people. It's not that the area of ​​Modo City can't hold so many people, but that the supply of all kinds of food, drink, and food can only be maintained at this scale to be easier to operate. The transportation capacity of this era is very limited. It takes a lot of effort to transport a boat of fish from the port of Modo City to the inner city. Too large and concentrated population will cause Modo City to become quite bloated.

If these half-elves want to come over, they will definitely not be treated as well as the first batch.

They estimate that they can only go to the towns that are being pioneered near Modo City. Only when all the towns surrounding Modo City are completed can the supply and supply system be truly established, and the population of Modo City can be expanded to 100,000 people. above!
