White Horse City.

It took Sauron less than a day to go from Amber City to White Horse City.

This once prosperous trade route has been completely abandoned. Luoye City was destroyed due to the attack of the half-orcs, and handicrafts from the elves and half-elves completely lost their sales. The roads in Baima City were blocked by the ancient red dragons. The impact on this area under the double blow was quite terrifying. Especially the chaos formed after the migration of various monsters has led to the migration of many villages and towns with insufficient defense capabilities.

Although humans have a huge number, they do not have an absolute advantage in nature.

The current productivity cannot support the outbreak of the population at all. Only suitable arable land can form human villages, because in those wilderness areas that are not suitable for reclaiming, there are still many other species entrenched. Food is the key to restraining the large reproduction of any organism. With the transportation capacity of this era, most of the food can only rely on self-production. The proportion of external transportation consumption alone is quite large, and it may be attacked by other species.

Unless there is a huge force that has completed a huge project similar to the canal transportation.

Look at it now.

There is almost no possibility of this, so Sauron saw many abandoned villages along the way. The migration of these villages is largely due to frequent attacks by wilderness creatures, the decrease in population and the increase in dangers, which makes them unable to cultivate with peace of mind. Without sufficient self-protection capabilities, many small and medium-sized villages and towns began to migrate or merge.

Jinxi Town.

This is a town that has risen rapidly during turbulent times.

Sauron passed by this town on the way to White Horse City. He and Vivian followed Golia's caravan and also came to this town.

And, here he met the Sword Saint for the first time.

Today, Jinxi Town has three times the size. It has reinforced thick wooden walls outside, and its population has at least several times more than before. It seems that it already has the outline of a small city.

All these changes were caused by external pressure and the threat of wilderness, which led to the migration of other nearby villages and towns here. A large number of humans began to build fortifications to form an army to protect civilians. Jinxi Town had a strong geographical and human resources, and in this case it immediately became the most important gathering place for humans nearby.

Sauron stopped here for a while.

Two sentry towers were erected in front of the thick gate of the village, with defensive guards on the city wall, and even Sauron saw the figure of Rangers, who were responsible for detecting the movements of wild creatures.

The garrison here is very strict, with the proportion of militia reaching one-fifth.

Sauron saw several military camps training militias, which made him feel the breath of war. The blacksmith shop was busy, and the weapons forged by military industry were filled with shelves. This situation is probably not just to prevent attacks from wilderness creatures, but the rulers here may have plans to recover lost land. No creature is willing to give up the land easily. Humans are forced to relocate the land after they reorganize.

A sharp look.

Sullen suddenly felt someone staring at him, and when he turned around, he was surprised to see a young man who was a little familiar.

A sword saint.

A high-level sword saint wearing a simple cloth suit with a straight blade knife on his back and still stained with blood on his body.

The person Sauron had seen.

The momentum on his body was getting more and more fierce, and he was like a sharp sword with sharp edges. The other party had a strong murderous aura. I am afraid that this current monster's rampant environment is related to it.

The Sword Saint was stunned for a moment in response to Sauron's gaze, as if he felt his strength. He nodded slightly and left.

A high-level hunter.

This is his judgment and also the ability shown by Sauron.

Many sword saints are taciturn people. Sometimes they are willing to use swords to express themselves, rather than say too much nonsense.

Sauron noticed the respectful gazes of people towards him.

It seems that this young sword saint has gained people's respect and recognition with their strength during this period. The sword saint is an advanced profession that attaches great importance to actual combat. The other party has entered the ranks of high-level professions at this age. If you are not distracted in the future, Jinxi Town may have a legendary sword saint in the future.

It is very likely that the town will become more prosperous because of him!

Sauron didn't stay for too long. He quickly left the town and continued to go to White Horse City, a road that was much deserted and covered with weeds.

After about twenty kilometers.

A sign appeared in Sauron's sight. It read the following passage, "Beware of danger! There are ground-digging insects here!!! (Skeleton marks)..."

Digging worms?!

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Soren's mouth, and then he continued on the road. After walking about five kilometers, he found traces of others on the ground, as if they were coming from another road.

"careful!"

"One more ran out behind you!"

A middle-aged man's scream came from his ears, and then a chaotic battle. There seemed to be many people, and Sauron also heard the sizzling sound of the familiar digging worm.

Druid!

Sauron's figure rose into the air, leaping among the trunks, instantly pulling out afterimages. He quickly saw the target, but the most eye-catching one was a druid. It now looked like a black bear, but the words he spoke were very authentic elf words.

Wild druid.

They are the transformers in the druids, proficient in various "transformation techniques". The way of fighting is often accomplished by transformation.

A pastor.

Wearing a slightly worn priest robe, with scars on his face, and fighting with a priest's staff. On him, Sauron saw a special emblem, with pale hands tied by a red rope. This is the priest of the [God of Passion], a god who controls the priesthood, [suffering], [martyrdom] and [resolute] clergy. This is a good god who is orderly and kind, also known as the 'God of Crying'. His followers include disabled people, oppressed people, poor people, monks, holy warriors, slaves and serfs, etc.

The reason why Sauron is so familiar with this god is because he has carefully recalled the other party’s information recently.

[God of Passion]-Irmat!

He blesses those victims and is interested in bloody hunting, Mara, who is one of the important enemies of this god.

There are many digging bugs.

In addition to professionals who can fight, there were also a large number of civilians in front of Sauron. These civilians rely entirely on them to block them, so they were not eaten by the digging worms.

The most powerful combat power among the crowd was a monk.

It is not an Eastern monk, but a monk trained in the local area. [God of Passion] - There is an independent monk in the church of Irmat. The name of this monk is the Brokenon. It is a monk who believes in the God of Crying. In addition to protecting all believers and temples, the members of the group are also responsible for punishing those who cruelly hurt others.

Evil deeds. These monks can work part-time priests, or advance to secret believers, saints, divine power believers, divine power seekers, and saints without being punished for leaving their profession.

This is the product of the fusion of god power and monk training. The Broken Monk is a very powerful advanced profession.

The battle became more and more intense.

However, the situation has not collapsed yet, because the priests of the "God of Passion" are very good at healing, which is related to their teachings.

Although many people misunderstand the doctrine of the God of Crying (and even more ridiculed His doctrine), the church of Irmat has many believers throughout the continent. In this cruel and realistic world, many victims, sick, and poor rely on the help of the church of Irmat. People in many areas respect the church of the God of Crying, and His pastors often receive a lot of generous assistance when practicing medicine freely everywhere.

The middle-aged priest in front of you.

That is, there are few members of the current material plane who will provide treatment for others completely for free, and the targets of this treatment are poor, civilians, slaves, serfs, etc. The priests of the [God of Passion] are not very common. They are too many of them in their own diocese. Because of some kind of "refugee ritual" guided before death, all the priests of the crying gods are more than 1.5 times that of other priests.
