Chapter 260 Practice

Peace and tranquility are always hard-won, and people who have experienced war and suffering enjoy this time and cherish every second of the peaceful atmosphere.

Peace.

Yes, peace.

People who like and enjoy peace will most likely not think about breaking it unless it is necessary, and this idea is being seen by some people with ulterior motives.

In 2950, ​​a small group of Orcs from Mordor, operating secretly under the cover of some dark magic, successfully crossed the Brown Lands and the wild lands south of the Anduin Vales and quietly entered Moria.

This migration began to occur more frequently.

They lurk there, living and developing secretly in various dark corners, and expanding their tribe.

This time, not even the Fire Demon could control them.

They all have the most solid imprint of the Demon Lord in their minds.

hiss--

In the dark valley behind a mountain barrier in the north of Mordor, a ferocious creature screamed, and the cry made the Orcs in charge of guarding it panic.

A winged giant beast emerged from the hatching pool. Its body was shaped like a dragon, with fine scales and spikes on its back.

"good."

An Uruk pushed aside the frightened Orc beside him and took a few steps forward to check the situation.

"This is what Lord Soran wants."

He began to examine the newly hatched creatures carefully.

This strange-looking beast looks like a dragon, but it is not a dragon. It can fly, but it is not a bird. It is bigger than all birds and smaller than all dragons. Its body is bald, with neither quills nor feathers. The wings on both sides should be better described as a layer of membrane - a layer of membrane stretched between sharp claws.

Zira——

A few drops of saliva flowed from the mouth of this ferocious beast, and when its saliva touched the ground, even the charred earth of Mordor became visibly darker.

There was no hope for life to begin with, and now it's dead.

Uruk, who was in charge of the breeding of giant beasts, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene.

It's so evil, this is simply a species that is inherently evil... so pure, even more evil than myself.

Lord Soran said that this creature should...

"Feed it with carrion." Uruk ordered the Orcs beside him.

"yes."

A large amount of rotten meat and bones were brought in. When the ferocious beast in front of it smelled the rotten smell, it was as if some kind of switch was turned on. It became excited and began to swallow large pieces of rotten meat on the ground with gulps.

At the same time, in Núrn, further south of Mordor, a dull green land that occupies half of Mordor's area, new arable land was developed and cultivated by human slaves captured in the past and provided by the southern Haradrim and pirates.

The population of Orcs and Uruk began to grow rapidly, and the number of giant beasts and trolls also increased day by day.

In the same year, the reinforcement and restoration of the Black Tower was put on the agenda, and many mines and quarries were added inside Mordor.

The great losses suffered by the Far East countries due to the "Shadow of War" are slowly recovering. The nobles of the East Yi have expressed their loyalty to Mordor and presented large amounts of supplies and treasures every year.

The Eye cult in Umbar in the south grew stronger, and many young people joined it and swore an oath to the Eye.

The Khand, who is sandwiched between these forces, has an ambiguous attitude towards his king. Although he still offers treasures and various materials to Mordor every year, he always ignores many orders intentionally or unintentionally, or simply pretends not to see them.

However, Sauron obviously didn't care about King Khan's cold violence.

On the one hand, he has been very busy recently, and on the other hand, such a small place is really not very noticeable. No matter how hard they try, they can't turn the world upside down, and no matter what attitude they have, they have to be obedient and serve him.

Yes, Soran did not put too much thought into this place where even if the rebels were still under his control.

But it's different in another place.

"Sir, I must remind you that some great nobles have become suspicious of this place. I'm afraid you have to leave."

In the military camp in the Harnen River Basin, the commander spoke politely to the blue-robed wizard in front of him.

"Three days. I have to find out something. After three days I will leave on my own."

"I'll cover for you."

The commander nodded in agreement.

The blue-robed wizard, Alatar, sighed and looked towards the north.

"You helped me again."

…

The following year, the initial expansion of Barad-dur (the Black Tower) was completed, and more defensive fortifications were built around it.

The dark road connects Mordor from east to west, north to south, and the Sauron Road, which has been abandoned since the Second Age, has been repaired, and Mordor's overall transportation efficiency has been improved.

In this year, three Ringwraiths walked out of the Black Gate and headed straight for Dol Guldur in the south of Mirkwood.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Due to the attack by the elves and white-robed wizards many years ago, this place is extremely desolate at the moment, without a single orc. As there is still some residual power and breath, even the spiders and various small reptiles in the forest are unwilling to approach this place.

Of course, no elves or anyone else would have the leisure to come near here.

So the three Ringwraiths easily reoccupied Dol Guldur, and the evil creatures lurking in the surrounding Black Mountains sensed their presence and moved over one after another.

Between 2950 and 2951, Sauron no longer concealed his existence. He built various projects in Mordor with great fanfare, and secretly sent three Ringwraiths to reoccupy Dol Guldur and operate there.

However, the latter incident was not publicized.

For some reason, if word got out that Dol Guldur had been reoccupied, it would probably cause trouble for someone, so the Ringwraiths did it in secret and in a low-key manner.

Even during the march, they resisted the urge to strike at passing travelers.

After occupying Dol Guldur and recalling the surrounding dark creatures, the abandoned fortress was rebuilt shortly afterwards.

Mordor's power gradually grew, productivity increased, transportation efficiency strengthened, the Dark Tower was repaired, the population grew, and two more absolutely loyal territories were added...

As for Levi,

The Hejiaodi Shipyard was officially declared completed.

Crash——

White waves hit the stone wall, leaving a puddle of water on it.

Various ships of all sizes were docked at the dock, and groups of students boarded the ships in an orderly manner under the guidance of the elf instructors to begin their first internship.

The ship moved forward steadily, and the tall tower stood behind it, with the glowstone on the top floor never extinguished.

A huge shadow swept across the middle of the wide river, covering almost half of the city and completely shrouding the castle by the river.

In front of it, even a giant dragon that is a hundred meters long pales in comparison and looks small.

This behemoth, which is bigger than a dragon and longer than an earth worm, is the flagship built by Levi himself.

“Practice is the only criterion for testing truth and the fundamental purpose of cognition and learning.”

Levi stood at the bow and announced the name of the Riverside Shipyard's first flagship to the people:

"Practice number."

"The movement follows the form, and the form follows the will. Our minds have always been high and lofty, and now that the form has appeared, we should move accordingly."
