The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 147 Battlefield Preparation

Ever since they killed Azog at Raven Ridge and repelled the Orcs' attack to take back the Lonely Mountain with difficulty, the Durin dwarves have been immersed in the frenzy of regaining their homeland.

With the blessing of such positive emotions, these dwarves repaired their palaces with great enthusiasm, and at the same time devoted themselves to mining veins, and making weapons, armor, and jewelry. This is their favorite life.

And those Durin dwarves living in the Blue Mountains, after learning that their lord Thorin Oakenshield had completed the feat of regaining their homeland and became the great Thorin II, they began to gather with friends, one team after another. The team returned to the Lonely Mountain and returned to Thorin's rule.

Coupled with the dwarves who moved from the Iron Hills, so far, the power of the Lonely Mountain has become stronger and stronger.

In the past few years, the Dongyi people have been stationed in the east of Rovanian, which has also had a certain impact on the life of the dwarves, but it is not particularly serious.

At this time, River Valley City, which has been rebuilt, can already provide basic living supplies for the dwarves. The jewelry and fine armor made by the dwarves are very sought after by human nobles, and River Valley City has also started producing toys at this time.

Compared with the leather goods and clothing, furniture and wood carvings, as well as a small amount of silver ornaments, bows and arrows and musical instruments that the Woodland Kingdom can provide, the goods of Lonely Mountain are undoubtedly more favored by these merchants.

Moreover, the dwarves in Lonely Mountain and the humans in River Valley City are in the midst of a waste of time, they are not immune to most commodities, and they are in the stage of frantic buying, and the gold and silver produced by Lonely Mountain can also be bought in a frenzy. Support their spending during the purchase process.

As a result, many well-connected businessmen are more willing to take all kinds of supplies to Gushan through the waterway of the Running River, and while earning a lot of money, they will bring the special products of Gushan and River Valley City. Trade elsewhere in Middle Earth.

Ashur, the leader of the Dongyi people, after learning that the dwarves had participated in the war near the long lake, also began to send some soldiers to harass the roads of the dwarves and the caravans going to the lonely mountain, but the effect was extremely limited.

Facing the threat of the Dongyi people, the dwarves have already opened up other roads in the high mountains between the Lone Mountain and the Iron Hills. It is impossible for the Dongyi people to compete with the dwarves in such a terrain, and the section from Heidelberg to Changhu Town The Benliu River is guarded by Allen's soldiers, and it is difficult for a small group of Dongyi people to take advantage of this place.

After all, Allen collected the tariffs from these merchants, so naturally they need to ensure their safety.

After Sorin II, who ruled the Lonely Mountain, became more and more prosperous and powerful, after receiving Aaron's request for help, he thought for a long time in the hall newly opened by the tribe for himself. He was hesitating whether to participate in this war, because the dwarves now The situation is not bad, and it is not necessary for him or the Dulin clan to fight Dongyi people or not.

Sorin, who had been meditating for a while, suddenly laughed at himself. He remembered that in the battle of his family to retake the Lonely Mountain, Alan's human army and Lord Elrond's elf army helped at the critical moment. He lost himself and was severely damaged in the fight with the orc army.

They could have not participated, but for the righteousness of defending Middle-earth, or for the friendship between the two, Alan led the soldiers under his command and helped the dwarves a lot through desperate battles at that time. Lun needs his own support, so what is he hesitating here?

Thinking of Sorin II here, he stroked the beard he had just grown, sat back on the stone table in the hall, and swiped his pen wildly to complete the reply to Allen.

Alan sat in his study and opened Sorin's reply. Even though he was prepared in his heart, he was still surprised by Sorin's generosity.

At the beginning of the letter, Sorin teased Allen in an extremely relaxed tone, and actually used gold, silver and jewels to deal with his friend who is sitting on mountains of gold and silver. He will need Alan's full help in the battle to regain Moria, and this is also his war plan for the next few decades, even hundreds of years, as the King of Durin.

Mount Gundabad is the sacred place of the Durin dwarves, and Kazadum has witnessed the prosperity and development of the Durin dwarves for thousands of years. Sorin II, who has recovered the Lonely Mountain, hopes to complete it again in his lifetime. A feat that belongs to the Durin dwarves, but it cannot be done without the help of allies.

For this reason, Thorin described in detail the support he provided to Allen this time in the middle part of the letter. His cousin Dyne would lead a thousand elite dwarf infantry, and when Allen launched the war, he would start from the long-term The direction of Hu Town directly advances into the territory of the Dongyi people, and Sorin and his two nephews, Qili and Feili, will lead [-] goat cavalry as a mobile force, waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy on the battlefield. In order to fight against the chariots of the Dongyi people, Sorin also took out five dwarf chariots as a supporting force and followed behind the infantry.

These armies will not be directly handed over to Alan's command. They are used as allies to attract and contain the forces of the Dongyi people, so as to share Alan's pressure on the frontal battlefield. In addition, Sorin said that from now on, Stop all the work on Lonely Mountain and go all out to build Allen's order, and at least deliver [-] sets of armor and [-] sets of vests to Wilderness Town before the war.

In the past two years, Allen has received [-] sets of heavy armor. Counting these [-] sets, he can already prepare [-] heavy cavalry before the war. This requires certain selection and training. He is ready for this task Let his attendant, Gail, take orders to supervise this matter, and those Swadian knights who have become officers will assist Gail to complete the training in this area.

At the end of the letter, Sorin teased Alan, the king of Rovanian, who has no heir until now, and even asked Alan when he planned to marry Jamila, and he planned to be Alan's son Godfather.

Looking at Thorin's reply, Allen was more moved and relieved than being surprised. He also knew that the only allies who could really provide him with military support were the dwarves in Lonely Mountain, and Thorin's letter was It gave Allen a reassurance in his heart.

At this time, if we simply calculate the strength, the army of Alan and Sorin has already surpassed Ashur, who has been hit, but Alan faintly feels that in the past few years, he must not only be actively developing his strength, as A brutal but shrewd leader, facing the alliance of dwarves, elves, and northern humans, Ashur's strength will definitely increase, but the specific situation requires those light cavalry who shoulder the heavy responsibility of scouting, from the enemy brought back news from his territory.

After handling the matter of the allies, Allen felt that the burden of war was much lighter at this moment, and at this time, it was already the spring of 2945 in the third era.

In the remaining days, while dealing with some trivial matters, he devoted all his remaining energy and time to the simulator, and he still needed to earn hundreds of thousands of dinars to arm his conscripts , and at the same time save enough honors to do a continuous lottery draw before the war to increase your winning chips.

Allen, who has become the lord of Su Nuo, first reduced the burden on the people under his rule, and at the same time made a promise to let go of the past, taking this as a measure to reduce the number of bandits in the surrounding green forest. The farmers who could not survive in the middle of the country, after Allen reduced part of the tax, they returned to the life of farming on the land.

As for those green forest robbers who were still stubborn, Alan pushed his own private soldiers all the way, not only eliminated the surrounding bandits, but also gained a lot of wealth in the green forest bandits' camp, and even more To Allen's surprise, he actually rescued his mayor's sallow and thin brother in one of the camps. This is a serious nobleman. His own mayor never mentioned this to him, but That bit of honor is very fragrant, and Allen is unwilling to pursue the family affairs of his subordinates too much.

Through such efforts, Allen has maintained the stability of the surrounding trade routes, in order to attract caravans to trade in Su Nuo and obtain stable tax revenue. was worn out.

Now, Su Nuo can provide the simulator with an income of 10,000 to [-] dinars every month. All of this money is used by Allen to purchase equipment, but after a simple calculation, it is still not enough. At least [-]+ short.

After stabilizing the territory of Calradia, Allen put his mind on the magical continent. At this time, the troops of the Druya ​​sect began to appear in the surrounding countries, constantly bewitching the people who originally belonged to the nobles to believe in it. His own dark god, and made some extremely outrageous sacrifices to civilians who did not want to believe in it, making the continent that was already a little chaotic due to the war even more chaotic, and providing the real Druya ​​sect army to attack other kingdoms. convenient.

In order to deal with these spoilers who acted strangely and were not weak, the nobles of the major kingdoms, while mobilizing their private armies, unanimously chose to hire mercenaries or bounty hunters to clean up the Drew hidden in their territories. runner-up army.

Allen did not leave any prominent reputation on this continent, nor did he exchange for any good background, but in the face of such a chaotic situation, he planned to use his fairly strong strength to recruit some companions in Zenda at will. , by clearing up these Druya ​​believers, a large amount of dinars, prestige, and extremely rare honors can be obtained in a short period of time.

This is actually a very easy opportunity to gain benefits, and it can also gain a certain degree of favorability in front of the nobles of the major kingdoms.

Facts have proved that Alan's actions are effective. At this time, the troops of the Druya ​​sect in the major kingdoms are far from being able to compare with Alan's combat effectiveness. For almost half a year, after fighting in the simulator for several years, he managed to deal with one team after another of the followers of the Druya ​​sect, and saved countless villagers. During the whole process, Allen gained 10,000+ dinars. Income, and more than 500 prestige, but those who were rescued were ordinary villagers. After reaching a certain amount of accumulation, he won two points of honor.

While Allen's actions initially gained a large number of noble friendships, he naturally also received the target of the Druya ​​sect. One after another, the troops who assassinated Allen died under the sharp blade of him and his companions. In the current situation, Allen knew that he had to do something, otherwise he might not live for too long in his current identity.

Because the killers sent by the enemy have become stronger and stronger, he may soon encounter the top fighters of the Druya ​​sect. Facing them, even Allen is not sure of victory.

At this moment, Allen, who has achieved great fame in various countries, does not want to give up this identity. He also wants to wait for the situation to stabilize, obtain a fief here, and then get a stable dinar income. To arm his soldiers in Middle-earth, you must know that iron armor is more expensive than leather armor. Before the holy war of the Lord of the Rings, Allen's goal was to equip all his men with iron armor and sophisticated weapons.

So in order to save his life and avoid being chased by the Druya ​​Order, Allen planned to hide for a while so that his figure disappeared from everyone's eyes.

For this reason, Allen spent a large sum of money to settle down and dismissed most of his subordinates, and asked them to wait for his call again in Zenda. Most of these dozens of mercenary cavalry were small nobles without fiefs. Living in Zenda looking for work, Allen, who was in need of strong help, chose to hire them a few years ago, and supported each other all the way to the present.

So far, there is only Momocha left by Alan's side. This vicissitudes-faced little companion is actually a horse thief, who Alan accidentally rescued from a nobleman in Vikia.

In fact, Allen didn't think about deliberately chasing some key NPCs on this continent, because this script has a plot line, and Allen is not sure if he is the protagonist, but he happened to hear it. In order to accomplish his goal, he needed a scout proficient in scouting and guidance, so he relied on his friendship with the local lord and spent a little dinar to save this bearded and dark-skinned buddy.

Although Memecha has always looked bitter and bitter, his ability is definitely worthy of the salary Alan paid him. In a few years, Alan hunted down and killed nearly a hundred teams of Druya ​​believers. There must be more than 2000 people, which has dealt a heavy blow to the plan of the Druya ​​sect, and Momocha has contributed a lot here.

When the Druya ​​sect reacted and sent an assassination force to hunt down Alan, Momocha also played a vital role in the process of counter-killing the enemy.

So even though Ai Lu dismissed most of his companions, he didn't let Momocha leave his team. In the next action, he still needs the help of this companion.

Soon, Alan and Momocha disappeared. In such a social environment, it is actually very easy for a person to hide himself. For example, Alan bought enough supplies with Momocha , plunged headlong into the dense forest of Vikia, lived in the wild for several months in the icy and snowy environment,

And when all the supplies were consumed, he and Momocha reappeared in a village near the dense forest. After they were going to eat and sleep, they went to Zenda to inquire about the current situation.

Because he stayed in the dense forest for too long, Alan didn't know the specific name of the village, and Momocha told Alan that this was Sharpster, who used to raise horses here for others in the early years. Alan felt that since there was Acquaintances are also a good thing, because some villages do not accept strangers.

But after gradually approaching the village, Momocha noticed the traces of the Druya ​​army with sharp eyes. There were probably dozens of them. It seemed that there was something to do here. In any case, destroying the enemy's plan was a matter of course. It is a pleasant thing, and when a battle occurs, Allen can also get the reward of the simulator, so after a little estimation of the combat power of the two sides, Allen quietly followed with Momocha.

Even if he couldn't completely annihilate the enemy on the frontal battlefield, Alan still had the confidence to retreat with Momocha.

But to Allen's surprise, these people wandered around the village for a long time, as if they were looking for something. He and Momocha stared at the enemy in the dark for almost a week, and finally saw these guys rushed into a cave.

The familiar village name and the familiar environment made Allen suddenly think of something. He couldn't wait to shoot and kill the enemy guarding the entrance of the cave, and walked into the cave.

After entering the cave at the beginning, there was nothing unusual here. It looked like a very ordinary ruin, but Allen knew that there might be something hidden in this ruin.

As the two of them continued to go deeper, the bodies of some Druya ​​soldiers gradually appeared in the passage, and among them, there were two corpses similar to trolls, which were also thrown by the wall of the passage At this time, Allen finally confirmed that this is the treasure relic where the star horn and a certain gemstone are placed.

Thinking of this, Allen couldn't help speeding up his pace, and the corpses lying on the ground along the way, as well as the louder and louder shouts of killing, also pointed out the way for him, until Allen saw a brightly lit hall, and The hall is surrounded by countless gold and silver treasures, and a very simple wooden box is placed in the center of the treasures.

Allen knew that the star horn guiding the protagonist was placed in the box over there, and he also knew that the two trolls who were fighting with the Druya ​​soldiers were immortal under the blessing of the formation.

In fact, Allen knew how to crack the formation, as long as he smashed the eternal oil lamp in the hall, but Allen didn't do this, he was waiting, waiting for the troll to kill all the Druya ​​soldiers.

Facing the troll who never tires and can quickly recover from injuries, the commander of the Druya ​​soldiers is sweating all over his face. He now hates the tavern owner who gave him information. There are indeed a lot of wealth and former brave men here The treasures left behind, but no one told him that there are still monsters here that can never be killed.

"Rush to me, block them, the recovery speed of these monsters has slowed down, for the sake of the Dark God, we will definitely win the final victory."

As he spoke, the commander brandished his weapon and rushed directly at the troll. He led so many subordinates out, so he couldn't just go back in such a disheveled manner, otherwise he would be tortured by flames, and he still had luck in his heart, because the troll The recovery speed was indeed slowed down by a tiny bit.

But the commander who rushed to the trolls knew what kind of pressure his subordinates were facing. These two trolls are very powerful, and they can even make a whistling sound during the attack, and their movements are also very agile. In a few steps, he can catch up with the Druya ​​soldiers who want to retreat, and then wave the wooden stick in his hand to knock the enemy in front of him into the air.

Even with the addition of the commander, the situation of the Druya ​​soldiers still inevitably slipped towards failure. Allen, who saw the same, used the bow and arrow in his hand to break the oil lamps on the wall one after another, and his actions It also attracted the attention of everyone and trolls in the hall.

These two trolls are not stupid. After seeing the oil lamps that kept them alive being broken one after another, they raised their heads and roared, violently squeezed away the enemies around them, and rushed towards Allen. But it was too late, at this moment Allen had aimed at the last burning oil lamp, and let go of the bowstring in his hand.

With a "snap", the troll that was charging fell to the ground as if the pause button was pressed, and then disappeared in the smoke, and at the position where the two trolls disappeared, there was a flickering The gem of blue light, Allen, who had been prepared for this, ignored the gem, but aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at the extremely tired Druya ​​soldiers, and killed them all under the gaze of shock and despair.

After confirming that the enemy was lifeless, Allen lowered his head and picked up the loot under his feet. This gem was the size of a glass ball, and lightning flashed one after another inside the azure gem.

At the same time, a reminder sound came from the simulator.

[Congratulations to the player, you have won the favor of the sky, the treasure of the Magic Continent, the "Stone of the Sky". 】

[Players can use gems to exchange related abilities, or they can keep gems and use the abilities that come with gems. 】

["Stone of the Sky" Heaven's Favor: With this item, you can use up the energy in your body to see most of the people and things you want to see. The farther the distance, the stronger the power of the people and things you see. The more angry you are. 】

[Consuming the favor of the "Stone of the Sky", you can obtain the following two abilities. The list of abilities is as follows. 】

[Ability 1: Chain Lightning, consumes the Qi in the body to inflict lightning damage on the target, and the lightning can jump between multiple targets, the damage will decrease, and the attack does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. 】

[Ability 2: Eye of the Sky, you can see most of the people and things you want to see by spending dinars. Please use the ability near the target object, and use it once a day. 】

Allen ignored the simulator's prompt, but put the gem in a close-fitting position, walked to the side of the wooden box, and took out the star horn that could guide him to obtain the second gem. For this item, the simulated The device is not prompted.

Allen guessed that apart from guidance, the horn might have no other power, so the simulator didn't give a hint, and Allen, who had just picked up the horn, had a sentence in his mind.

"Camp in the desert near the lake in the southwest, and when the stars shine and the trumpet sounds, the will of the hero will reappear."

　Here is a brief introduction. Precious metals, including gold, silver and copper, have different understandings between races. Elves prefer silver and think silver is more noble, while dwarves think gold is more expensive, because the introduction of mithril is ten It is twice as valuable as gold, and it is not compared with silver, so everyone understands that human beings have no special instructions. I will use reality as an example, and gold is also the most expensive. In fact, I have not found the currency of gold coins. It is very painful to set it up myself. , In fact, some elves think that copper is more expensive, I can't imagine how to balance finance.

　　The other thing is the goods of the Woodland Kingdom. I haven’t found any specific items. How to say, I can only analyze according to the preferences of the elves and the environment of the Black Forest. For example, the elves in the Woodland Kingdom like to hunt, so leather goods should be very good. , guarding the forest has a lot of good wood, and the elves like art, so sculpture and furniture decoration should also be there. As for silver ornaments, musical instruments, bows and arrows, I know everything, so I won’t say much.

　　Then there is light and darkness. I borrowed from this MOD, but I can’t completely copy the MOD when writing novels. Please forgive me for any differences. For example, the protagonist, I found the gem first without getting the hero badge. And the horn, I hope you don't get entangled in this, after all, it's a story, and it doesn't make sense for me to copy it.
